Authors Note: This is a Sesshoumaru/Kagome fic, I myself don't have anything against Inu Yasha and I will apologize now to all of the Inu fans out there who think that Kagome and Inu Yasha should stay together, but I got a little tired of his constant bashing of Kagome's heart, and his always running to Kikyo, so Inu Yasha is NOT going to get a happy ending. Kagome and Sess-chan will though! ^.^
"Two Hearts" Chapter One.. A Twist Of Fate
Kagome sat at her desk in her room, trying to cram all of the stuff for her high school entrance exams into her brain. She had been working on her math now for about two hours and was beginning to feel like she needed a little air. Kagome stretched her arms and stood up.
'I think I'll go down to the tree and sit for a while.' She thought. 'I need to get out of the house for a while anyway.'
Kagome quickly donned a sweater and left her room. The pages of the math book on her desk flipped with a stiff breeze that blew through her window. A chill passed through her room. Down at the base of the sacred tree, Kagome sat with a sigh. She hadn't been to the feudal era for almost a week now, and she was beginning to feel lonely. Kagome and Inu Yasha had had another one of their stupid little arguments, which had resulted in Kagome returning home to study.
'Stupid Inu Yasha,' Kagome thought, 'He is always doing things like this, every time I try to do something nice for him he always screws it up.'
Kagome had once again made a homemade lunch for Inu Yasha and the others and had brought it back with her to the feudal era. Inu Yasha had opened his big mouth and complained that the fried eggs were too stiff and that the rice was burned. Kagome had been so mad that she had left with out even sitting him.
'I wonder why he hasn't come back for me yet,' Kagome thought a bit sadly, 'Its been almost a week and I haven't seen him.'
Kagome hung her head and sighed, she wasn't sure how to react. Should she be happy that Inu Yasha had finally gotten the hint to leave her alone for a while, or should she be mad because he didn't jump down the well to get her back. Or, should she be sad because Inu Yasha hadn't come to get her. 'Well, I doesn't really matter,' Kagome thought, 'I'm going back tomorrow anyway.'
Kagome sat under the tree for a while longer before returning to the house to get some sleep.
---Back in the Feudal Era-------------------
Inu Yasha was running full tilt. He could see Kikyo in the distance, her back to him. Her soul collectors wove and intricate, almost sensual, dance in the air around her body. Inu Yasha could also see the orbs of bluish white light that he knew were disconnected souls.
"Kikyo!" He called. Kikyo turned, but as she did, her features changed. Slowly, she became Kagome. A sweet smile on her face.
Inu Yasha slid to a stop.
"Kagome?" His voice seemed to echo in the darkness that surrounded them. Inu Yasha's eyes narrowed.
"What's going on? What happened to Kikyo?" he asked. Kagome's face lost her smile. Her stormy blue eyes clouded over in confusion.
"What are you talking about, Inu Yasha? Kikyo has been dead for 50 years. She was never here."
Kagome's voice was soft, yet it seemed to vibrate in Inu Yasha's ears. Gradually, the vibration began to grow in intensity. Inu Yasha soon had to cover his ears.
"Inu Yasha?"
Inu Yasha looked up at Kagome, her face showed her concern. But just as Inu Yasha was about to reassure her, a large shadow, with glowing red eyes, rose up behind Kagome.
'Youkai!' Inu Yasha's mind screamed. The shadow Youkai rose it's clawed hand, intent on striking Kagome.
"Kagome!" Inu Yasha cried, "look out!"
Inu Yasha dashed forward, but his body became restrained.
"What the hell?!"
Inu Yasha looked down at his arms and legs. There was a long dark green tentacle wrapped around each of his arms and legs, and one around his waist. Inu Yasha struggled futilely against his binds.
"Inu Yasha?" Inu Yasha's head jerked up. Kagome still stood, looking at him with concern in her eyes. Oblivious to the threat that towered behind her.
"Run Kagome!" Inu Yasha almost screamed.
Kagome turned, now facing the shadow Youkai, but her face showed no interest. She turned back to him.
"Inu Yasha?" She asked again.
'What the hell is wrong with her?' Inu Yasha thought desperately, 'She's acting like that youkai doesn't exist.'
Kagome slowly began walking towards Inu Yasha. She stopped a few feet from him. He eyes still concerned and confused.
"What's wrong Inu Yasha?" Inu Yasha stared at her dumbfounded. Couldn't she see the youkai that wanted to attack her, and couldn't she see that he was bound and couldn't help her?
Inu Yasha was about to make a smart ass remark, when the shadow youkai swung its claws strait at Kagome. He knew that she couldn't dodge it in time.
"Kagome!" He screamed, "Get out of the way!" But Kagome only stood there, completely still. And as the shadow youkai bore down on Kagome, Inu Yasha shut his eyes.
'I couldn't save her,' he thought, 'I couldn't do anything to help her.' Inu Yasha slowly opened his eyes. And to his surprise, Kagome was no where to be seen. It wasn't until Inu Yasha noticed the shadow youkai looking upward, that Inu Yasha himself looked to the sky.
Inu Yasha saw Kagome, being born away from the shadow youkai, clutched in the talons of a great silver dragon.
"Kagome!" Inu Yasha cried.
Inu Yasha's eyes snapped open. He sat bolt upright on the branch he had been sleeping on.
'Every night that same damned dream,' Inu Yasha thought, 'ever since Kagome went back home, it's plagued me.'
He tried several times to find out the meaning of the dream. Even going so far as to discuss it with Miroku, but he said that it was because Inu Yasha was feeling guilty over what had happened between him and Kagome. But that didn't explain to Inu Yasha why Kagome always started out as Kikyo in the dream. Inu Yasha just didn't understand. It was possible that the dreams were caused by his guilt, but he didn't think so. Even if that was the case, Inu Yasha was to proud to admit it, even to himself. He was a hanyo after all.
Inu Yasha shook his head violently in an attempt to clear his thoughts. This wouldn't work. Something had to be done, even if that meant risking Kagome's wrath, he would jump into the well fist thing in the morning.
Inu Yasha nodded to himself. He would finally try to get things right with Kagome. It would be hard, he knew, but he was willing to take that chance. He needed to be more patient with Kagome. After all, he usually did nothing but berate her, and she would always just stay at his side. He needed to do something to repay her.
Inu Yasha was suddenly taken from his musings when he saw small orbs of bluish-white lights coming from the forest around the area where the bone eaters well was. The lights were the disconnected souls of humans.
'Kikyo,' Inu Yasha thought, 'Kikyo's at the well.'
Inu Yasha leapt down from the sacred tree, and made a mad dash for the bone eaters well.
----------Back in the present----------
Kagome stood up, and stretched. She wasn't sure how long she had been sitting under the widely spread branches of the Sacred Tree. It was dark, and Kagome was beginning to feel a little hungry, so she went back into the house to find a little snack.
She walked quietly to the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator. Looking through the contents, she finally picked out some cold pizza and sat down in the living room to eat it. Kagome knew it had to be pretty late, her mom, Sota, and her grandpa, were all already in bed and asleep. She shrugged to herself.
'If I'm quiet, I wont wake them.' She thought. 'I should probably get some sleep too.' Kagome quickly ate the cold pizza, then went up to her room. She quietly closed the door. Then went to her dresser to pull out her pajamas. They weren't her usual pair. Her normal pajamas were in the wash. These ones were light blue with small white clouds on them, and pearlized white buttons. It had been a while since she had worn these ones. But they were comfortable and warm. So she pulled them on, brushed out her hair, and climbed into bed.
As her head softly hit the pillow, a thought came to her.
'I wonder what Inu Yasha is doing right now?' With a small smile Kagome fell into a peaceful dreamless sleep. Yes, tomorrow she would go back to him. Like she always did.
-------The Next Morning----------------------------------------------------- -------
Kagome was rushing around her room, gathering all of the things she would need for her trip back to the Feudal era.
"First aid kit, hair brush, ramen, my school books, clothes..." Kagome continued to check off all of the items she had on her fingers. She was going as fast as she could. She had been in such a daze last night that she had forgot to set her alarm clock, and now it was almost noon. Finally she had everything she needed stuffed into her oversized backpack. Heaving the enormous bag over her shoulder she left the house, waving goodbye to her mom, and grandpa. (Sota was inside playing video games. ( ) Reaching the bone eaters well, she wasted no time leaping over the side. And as the mysteriously beautiful blue light surrounded her, she smiled. Today, she would make Inu Yasha an extra large bowl of ramen for lunch, as an apology for not coming back for so long. She knew how important it was that they continue their search for the jewel shards.
Kagome came out of her thoughts as she came out on the feudal era side of the well. She could see the Bright blue sky above her. Puffy white clouds hung in the sky. Slowly she climbed out of the well. She looked around, Inu Yasha was no where in site. And neither were their other friends. Kagome tilted her head to one side.
'They must be at the village.' She thought to herself. Kagome shrugged, and climbed the rest of the way out of the well. She sighed as her feet came to rest on the soft green grass. Something didn't feel right to her. It was like the entire forest was holding it's breath the minute she climbed out of the well. No birds, no wind, no nothing. It was almost eerie.
For some reason, Kagome felt the need to go to the Sacred tree. She felt like there was something there she needed to see. Slowly she began walking in the Tree's direction. It was almost like an invisible rope had tied around her wrist and was pulling her along.
Kagome followed the invisible pull, almost in a haze. She walked around bushes and trees, unconsciously stepping over roots and rocks. Soon she came to the clearing where the Sacred Tree stood. The site that greeted her was one she had seen far to many times before. There, sitting under the branches of the Sacred Tree, was Inu Yasha, he was obviously asleep. His golden eyes were closed, and his head rested back against the bark of the Tree. What caught Kagome's eyes however, was the person he had his arms draped around, sitting next to him, her head on his shoulder, was the one person Kagome never wanted to see near him again.
'Kikyo..' Kagome thought. She couldn't move, her body was frozen. She couldn't even shed any tears. It was too unbelievable, for some reason her mind couldn't process this. Kagome wanted to run, she wanted to cry, but she was frozen. In her minds eye she could imagine what had transpired between the two of them. She could see Kikyo's lips meeting Inu Yasha's. She could see the two of them together. Lying on the ground, hands exploring, caressing. The two of them removing each others clothes. Skin against skin.
'No!' Kagome violently shook her head. She could feel a splitting pain between her ears. It was too much. Kagome raised her eyes again. But this time, her storm cloud eyes meet chocolate brown. Kikyo stared at her, a small smile crossed her pale face. Her eyes danced with unsuppressed victory and laughter.
"He..Is..Mine.." Kikyo mouthed the words, her cruel smile never leaving. Kagome's entire body shook. She could feel her heart shatter into a thousand sparkling pieces, like a window that had been hit by a baseball. Tears spilled from the corners of her now misted eyes. Kagome turned and ran blindly from the man that held her heart, and the dead miko that shared her soul. Kikyo's laughter trailed behind her, unheard by anyone, except the wind.
