Tears of a Full Moon
Chapter 8
�It�s you who is trying to make this a conversation� I said to Naraku. �And what if I am?� Naraku said back. I was silent. Why didn�t Inuyasha come for me? Did he forget about me? Naraku looked at me. I looked at him. For some reason, there was a little softness in his eyes, just a little, but I�m sure it was there. �Why are you looking at me like that?� I said blushing. I couldn�t believe I was blushing because of Naraku! He gave me a soft smile, then looked up. His smile turned to a frown then he disappeared. �Hey cutie!� I heard someone say. �Hi, Koga. Thank you for saving me. I really appreciate it� I said making him blush. �It was nothing� he said. �I heard I was your woman� I said. �Ummmmm�� he said blushing even more. I got up and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then I smiled at him. He looked at me like a puppy that didn�t want his owner to leave. �I promise I�ll be back, Koga� I said waving goodbye.
I started walking and it seemed like forever before I finally came to the camp. �You're all right! I heard about what happened, well Sesshomaru heard. It seemed he had a lttle run in with Kikyo again� Kurayami said looking at Sesshomaru. He tried to put on an innocent face, and I couldn�t help but laugh. �You really look beat up. What did Naraku do to you? Why didn�t Inuyasha save you when he went there?� Yoko asked. �I told him to leave. I didn�t need him� I said trying to put on a strong act. �Oh really? I also heard that Koga had to come save you� Kurayami said smiling. I sat down against a tree and looked up at the sky. �What am I going to do?� I said slowly drifting away. Then before I knew it I was sleeping. And so was everyone else. But Yoko woke up when she thought she heard something. She saw my ear twich and then I opened my eyes. �Someone�s here�� I said standing up. Sesshomaru also stood up and he unsheathed his sword. Then out of the bushes Shippo appeared. He looked like he was just in a fight. �Shippo!� Yoko yelled running to him. She hugged him and said �What happened? Why are you here alone?� �We were attacked, Yoko. By Naraku� he also had Kagura and Kanna with him. He is holding Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha captive at his castle. He said he would only let them go if I gave him the half-demon. So I assumed he meant you, Nikooru� Shippo said glaring at me. �Why doesn�t Inuyasha just save him?� I said showing I just didn�t care.
�Please you have to save them, Nikooru!� Shippo begged. I looked at him and stood up. �I really don�t have a choice do I?� I said walking with my head down. �Well let�s go and get this over with� I said.
