The Return
A/N: Just a sweet little story about how InuYasha has trouble with starting a new life with Kagome after her return back to him. I got this Idea from Twilight: Breaking Dawn. The part where Edward was terrified to be intimate with Bella for the few of hurting her, I was thinking maybe InuYasha would be just as scared of hurting Kagome with his demon traits. See how he thinks about marriage, intimacy, and becoming a father.
Chapter 1
"Miroku do something about the twins!" I groaned as his twin daughters tug and pull on my ears. "Girls leave his ears alone. I'm sorry InuYasha." He said. I was about to stop them when a scent hit my sensitive nose. It can't be? But it is. It's her I know that scent anywhere. I stand up and drop the twins on Shippo and run towards the well.
It is her! How? Who cares how, she's back and I'm not going to questioned it. I reach the well and reach my hand down into it. I grab her wrist and yank her up. I pull her close to me. She's really here, in my arms! I couldn't believe it. How I longed to hold her in my arms for so long. I was just starting to come to terms that I will never have her back with me. She was back in her time and her job here was over with. It was amazing how the hole in my chest felt complete again.
I was lost in the moment when I heard Miroku and Sango coming up to see why I left so abruptly. I wanted to stay locked in this moment forever.
"I'm sorry! Have you been waiting?" Kagome asked. "You idiot what have you been doing all this time?" I say. The others finally reach us before she answers. She greeted them and I couldn't tear my eyes away from her. I was afraid this was another dream and I would wake up again to it all just being a dream. I've dreamt of her return for three years too long.
"I have something to show you." I whispered when I got her alone later that day.
"What?" She asks. I smile and lead her further into the InuYasha forest. I finally stop and turn to face her.
"Close your eyes." I instruct her. She looks at me with confusion, but does what I ask. I lead her through the break in the trees I stop in front of the mansion.
"Okay, open them." I say and she opens her eyes and I hear her gasp with surprise.
"What's all this?" She asks with amazement.
"I'm lord of these lands now and heir to my father's lands, and so I was entitled to have a mansion. I mostly had it built for you rather then myself. I thought you deserve a mansion to live in rather living in the forest camping out every night." I explain.
"But I thought Sesshomaru was heir to your father's lands?" She says
"Yes but he is also heir to the throne of the Inu-Youkai. He's the only heir they have since the emperor only had one child. A daughter and she is Sesshomaru's mother and so he is heir to become emperor, which makes me the heir to become lord of the western lands." I answer
"Wow" She says. I smirk and chuckle.
"Come on" I say as I take her hand and lead her in through the door.
The mansion isn't very large I guess it's roughly the same size as her home in her era. In the center of the mansion was a luscious koi pond garden. The first front building was the great room. The walls are decorated with Sekure trees and blossoms among a beige background. There was a cherry wood table in the western side that had four straight back chairs surrounding it. On the eastern side was a lavishly velvet sofa that had silk pillows. I let her explore and touch everything before showing her the rest of the mansion. I led her to where it cornered to the west. It was a long hallway that had two rooms along the northern side of the hall. I briefly showed her the simple rooms. The end of the hall it cornered to turn south. I stopped at the cherry wooden doors. "This is our room." I said as I opened the double doors. She gasped in surprise again as she took it all in. After a few seconds she walked in. The room was large and took up the whole southern building. In the center of the room was a very large a lavish bed. It had white silk sheets and a large cream cotton bed spread that had cherry blossoms embroidered on it and varies butterflies and dragonflies embroidered along the top half of the bedspread. The top of the bed had at least thirty types of cushions and pillows in varies colors and patterns. The walls of the room had a few paintings of my father in his glorious demon form. And some scrolls telling some fairytale stories. Soon the room will also contain various wall scrolls detailing our adventures.
There were luxurious tapestries and drapes over a large window that showed the InuYasha forest. On the western side of the room lies a door that led to the garden. I took her out to the garden and showed her the koi pond and she was ecstatic at the koi fish. "You like it?" I ask as I hold her from behind, resting my chin on her shoulder.
"It's amazing. So what is in that building?" She says.
"That is the kitchen." I simply answer. She nods and turns to face me in my arms. She stands on her toes so to reach up and kiss me. I eagerly return the kiss. I reluctantly pull from her sweet lips so I could stare into her brown eyes.
"Kagome…will you marry me?" I asked as I blushed. She looks at me wide eyed in surprise.
"Of course" She answers.
"Really?" I ask in disbelief.
"Yes I love you and I want you forever." She replies with a blush and a smile crossing her perfect lips. Why she loves me, I'll never understand. I don't deserve her. She can do so much better than me. I'm nothing but a half-breed, who occasionally loses control and turn into a monster that kills for the thrill of it.
"Why you love me I'll never understand." I say out loud. She looks at me with confusion.
"InuYasha I love you even though we fight a lot. I love you for you and I wouldn't change anything about you. I love you for who you are." She says.
"But I'm a half-breed who doesn't belong anywhere…" She stops me with her lips on mine.
"I don't care that you are a half-breed. You are an amazing person. You're strong, and brave. You're caring and loyal. You are not a monster even when you change into a full demon. I love you as a half-breed and I don't want you to ever change who you are. I love you always and forever." She says after she kisses me.
"I love you. I think I've loved you before I even met you. It wasn't Kikyou who I loved it was you who I've always loved. I still mourn for her and I think I'll always love her in some way but I love you more and I always have. You accepted me as me and you never wanted me to change for you unlike Kikyou who wanted me to be human so that we could live together as a normal couple. I thought I loved her enough to change human forever but I was wrong. Then when I thought about turning full demon I never realized that I would be losing my soul when I do transform into that beast.
"I didn't know where I belonged. Everyone wanted me to be either human or full demon. Then you come along and make me feel wanted the way I am. You make me feel at home with you by my side. You taught me how to smile, how to believe in other people. You're the reason I made friends and rely on them. To shed tears for others, to understand true strength and kindness. You taught me how to love again. You made my heart whole again. I don't know what I would be without you." I pour my heart and soul out to her. She suddenly crashes her lips against mine and I eagerly return it.
