The Princess and the Misunderstood Nightmare

Chapter eight

Title

Why do you say goodbye?

I have no life but this,

To lead it here

Nor any death, but lest

Dispelled from there;

Nor ties to earths to come,

Nor action new,

Except though this extent,

The realm of you.

Inuyasha had left Kagome with Moroku and Sango. He used hunting as an

excuse to get away from them. He couldn't understand the thoughts and

emotions going through his head right now. Kagome could go home, it

didn't matter to him. That's where he was taking her in the first place, now

these humans have shown up to take Kagome home; and he didn't want her

to leave. He didn't realize he wanted her to stay until they showed up, and

she wanted to leave! She wanted to leave him. He kept telling himself it

didn't matter, that he didn't need her, but deep down further then he was

willing to admit, he needed her. He didn't know why or how, he just did. He

knew she couldn't and wouldn't stay. Why would she want to stay with a

half- demon like him? When her father strives to kill all demons that come

into his lands, why would she even consider staying with him? Inuyasha had

been about the forest for two hours now; it was time to head back. He didn't

know what he would do when he saw Kagome. The best thing to do would

just let her go, don't let her know you want her to stay. Inuyasha ran toward

the camp, as he came into the camp everyone looked up to see who it was.

Moroku and Sango looked as though they were in a deep conversation that

was cut off just as he ran into camp. They had got a fire going, and were

cooking some stew over the fire. Despite Inuyasha saying he was going

hunting when he left, no one asked if he caught anything or if his prey got

away. Inuyasha looked around the camp, and then jumped into a tree and

went to sleep.

“We need to leave as soon as possible. I don't trust the half-demon. I don't

know how he got lady Kagome to trust him so, but it can't be a natural trust.

He must have enchanted her, or something or the sort.” “Yes I agree with

you Moroku. We must leave. Sooner rather then later.” Replied Sango.

In the morning everyone arose with the sun, with the exception of Inuyasha,

who by the looks of it has been up from hours before. Moroku and Sango

packed everything and got ready to leave. The expected for the half-demon

to fight them in taking Kagome, but they were not going take a demon

straight into the heart of the human realm. “Kagome we are ready to leave

when you are, mylady.” Said Moroku. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha as he

sat in the tree. “Inuyasha are you ready to go?” Kagome asked. Inuyasha

stiffened and jumped from the tree. He looked at Kagome. “You can go with

the humans, they are more then capable of taking you the rest of the way.

Feeding season is nearly over and you are only two weeks walk to the

castle.” Kagome stared at Inuyasha in shock. She didn't want him to leave

her with these complete strangers. Sure Sango seemed nice and Moroku too,

although it seemed he had a problem with keeping his hands to himself.

Witch he demonstrated last night, but Sango could take care of that. But

Inuyasha was the one who saved her life, showed her that not all demons

were bad and was the first real friend she had ever had. Inuyasha was the

one that risked his life to protect her. Inuyasha the one, which she bandaged

wounds for. Inuyasha the one she saw in the hot spring. No, she did not want

to leave him. Kagome looked at him, but his face was a mask. He wanted

her to leave. “Inuyasha it only took us a week to get here, how it can be that

it will take two weeks to get back?” asked Moroku, not noticing the looks

passing between princess and demon. “Because Moroku, the forest doesn't

not like it when people leave it. The forest will try to hold you back making

take twice as long as it took get here.” Said Inuyasha, he voice sounded

vacant. “If he wants me to leave then I will, I will grant him that for saving

me, no matter how much it hurts.

Kagome turned around, trying to hold in the tears that threatened to fall.

Kagome turned and run. Sango and Moroku and to run to catch up, but

Sango saw the way Inuyasha looked at Kagome, and she him. Sango saw the

tears that ran down Kagome's face when he told her to leave, and she saw

the broken look and Inuyasha's when she left. “I think there was more to this

then what we first saw.” Thought Sango, as she ran to catch up to Kagome.
