The Lesser Of Two Evils

“ I take it you missed me.” Inuyasha says smugly

Kagome stares at him unbelievingly.

“ You didn’t listen to my little poem, did ya? Lightning strikes and thunder roars, when an angel has been denied from heaven’s doors.” Inuyasha repeats.

“ Inuyasha, i-is th-that y-you?” Kagome asks skeptically.

Inuyasha looks at his hands and feet.

“ Well, I look like me.” Inuyasha says jokingly.

Kagome stands up slowly, and looks down at his , supposal, grave.

“ Inuyasha! It is you!” Kagome runs up to him and embraces him. “ I thought you died!”

“ I did die.” Inuyasha says bluntly.

Kagome looks up at him.

“ What do you mean?”

“ Let’s say that there’s really, really long lines.” Inuyasha laughs.

“ But, you lost your soul.” Kagome says.

“ No,” Inuyasha corrects “ I lost my deity’s soul.”

“ Wait.” Kagome pushes away “ How is it possibly that you are alive now?”

Surprising enough, Inuyasha laughs.

“ You still didn’t listen to me. I was alive when you passed my ‘grave’ last night.” Inuyasha laughs.

“ That still doesn’t mean anything how did you come back to life.” Kagome says.

“ Well, I came back to life because I only gave up part of my soul so I got to come back.” Inuyasha explains.

“ So you aren’t a deity anymore?” Kagome asks curiously.

Inuyasha keeps silent for a moment.

“ I’m not really a deity anymore because giving up my soul gave away my divine properties. But, I still know the words of the angel language, so I still have part of that power.” Inuyasha says “ But using a language of such power would tire me greatly.”

Kagome looks clueless at him. Inuyasha gestures to the God Tree.

“ Let me show you.”

Inuyasha got out of Kagome’s grip and walks to the front of the God Tree. He faces his palm to the tree.

“ Zeatqu yiu setryingqe!” Inuyasha chants.

“ What did you say?”

“ Burn an inscription.”

Inuyasha turns Kagome’s head to the tree. Words begin to form slowly.

{ I love you }

“ Inuyasha.”

Kagome looks up at Inuyasha. His hair is black and his eyes lavender.

“ Inuyasha, are you a human?” Kagome asks seeing Inuyasha’s appearance.

“ Yes, I’m tired and that took a bit too much energy for someone’s who has only been a live for a few hours.” Inuyasha says weakly.

Kagome looks back at the God Tree and back at Inuyasha.

“ What can you do with maximum energy?” Kagome asks curiously.

Inuyasha shrugs.

“ Steal a soul, make a small building without lifting a finger, and persuade a person’s mind to a certain extent.” Inuyasha lists.

“ Really?” Kagome asks amazed “ Can you teach me?”

Inuyasha thinks for a minute.

“ You could probably do more since you’re a miko, but it takes a while to even pronounce these words.” Inuyasha theorizes.

Kagome stares at Inuyasha.

“ Can we go to the hag’s village. I’m a bit fatigued, and scared of being demon in broad daylight.” Inuyasha suggests.

“ Okay, but this really is you? Scared?” Kagome asks

“ Your mind seem in complete terror when I was about to give up my soul, and when you saw my little hole.” Inuyasha laughs.

“ Inuyasha, sit.” Kagome says angrily.

Inuyasha doesn’t slam into the ground.

“ What?!” Kagome exclaims.

“ This?” Inuyasha tugs on his rosary “ I put a spell on it when I resurrected. You can’t sit me for another few hours with that word.”

“ Then we’ll have to find out that word, huh?” Kagome threatens jokingly.

“ Well not until I’m demon again, onegai?” Inuyasha pretends whimpering.

“ Baka.” Kagome pushes him.

“ Who’s baka?”

“ Hmph!”

Inuyasha laughs.

“ As soon as I find out that word, I swear.” Kagome threatens.

Hut

“ I wonder what’s taking Kagome? She went back for supplies and candy right?” Shippo asks worriedly.

“ Hey everyone!” they hear from outside.

“ That’s Kagome!” Shippo shouts excitedly and runs outside.

“ Hello Shippo.” Kagome greets the kitsune.

“ Kagome, I missed you!” Shippo exclaims.

“ D’you miss me?” someone asks from besides Kagome.

Shippo looks at the person curiously.

“ You’re a human. Do I know you?” Shippo asks.

The person looks at Shippo and smiles.

“ You sure do. I’m Inuyasha.” Inuyasha says.

“ Inuyasha?” Shippo stares at him again. A sudden look of realization crosses the kitsune’s face.

“ You are Inuyasha!” Shippo jumps on top of his head. “ Hey everyone, Inuyasha’s alive!!!”

Miroku and Sango walk out of the hut slowly.

“ Shippo, you know Inuyasha is......... standing right in front of me.” Miroku says astonished

Inuyasha waves a hand.

“ Hello, how have you done without me?” Inuyasha asks

Miroku and Sanho stare in aw.

“ Well, aren’t you gonna welcome me back?” Inuyasha asks.

“ Back from where?” Miroku asks unbelievingly.

“ Yes, from where?” Sango asks in the same tone.

“ I don’t know. There was a long line though. I met some old friends. Taisho, Sesshomaru, my dad. Everyone was there!” Inuyasha exclaims.

“ What?!”

Inuyasha points a finger at Miroku.

“ I think I can do one more trick.” Inuyasha whispers to Kagome.

“ What are you doing, Inuyasha?” Shippo asks.

“ Nhyut.” Inuyasha chants. { Fall }

Miroku suddenly trips and lands face first.

“ I see you haven’t changed.” Inuyasha laughs

“ That was mean.” Kagome mutters.

Their voices were unheard because of Shippo laughing.

“ Inuyasha, look!” Kagome says.

Inuyasha demon features reappear slowly.

“ Yes, I could notice that.” Inuyasha says bluntly

Miroku gets up and dusts himself off.

“ That was embarrassing.” Miroku admits.

Inuyasha opens his mouth, but Kagome covers his mouth.

“ I wouldn’t do that. I heard that word you said.” Kagome threatens.

Inuyasha growls.

“ Come on. Let’s go inside. I’ll explain all.” Inuyasha says.

Minutes Later

“ Where do you want me to start?” Inuyasha asks.

“ Maybe from after you died.” Miroku suggest.

“ Do interrupt. When I died I saw a long line of dead people. Sesshomaru and Taisho were at the back. The line was on like clouds or whatever. I waited for a long, long time. When I got to the front a huge guy like fifty feet tall asked what I did with my last and I told him how I died. He told me that I shouldn’t die for giving up my divine soul. Then he said that I may go back if someone said they wanted me back in the one hour past this meeting. Then someone said they wanted me back so then I got back my body. I must say you did a good job of burying me. Anyway I’ve been alive for about two or three hours. What do you want me to answer now?” Inuyasha concluded.

“ Did you just make up that story? Were you really dead in the first place?” Miroku asks.

“ Of course I did. I wanted to fulfill my life’s dream of sleeping in a hole for two weeks.” Inuyasha answers sarcastically.

“ So now he really is back.” Kagome ends.

Shippo starts to jump up and down from on top of Inuyasha’s head.

“ I’m so happy you’re back Inuyasha!” Shippo cries.

“ We all are Shippo.” Kagome says to the kitsune.

“ Nhyut.” Inuyasha mutters angrily.

Shippo falls to the ground off Inuyasha’s head.

Everyone starts to laugh. Inuyasha keeps a glum face.

‘ I don’t have the heart to tell them. That Naraku was the lesser of two evils.’
