Forget me, Inuyasha
So many people tell you that life is something you should cherish because you never know when your life will be over. I wouldn't have given it a second thought back then because I had everything I thought.
I thought my life was perfect till I became mated to inuyasha and he left me alone for 500 years. . At one time in my life I thought I had the perfect life. Newly mated and loved Inuyasha and he loved me back, had friends that would do anything for me and loved by so many people, a powerful miko and a strong fighter but after that fateful night I woke to find my mate gone and nowhere to be found. I searched for him for 400 years but I knew he had to of moved on or he would have come for me right. My heart become cold and dark because I came to realize that he would of came for me or searched unless he had no intentions to find me and mated with another probably kikyo.
I grew cold and I block off my mate's mark but it never disappeared. I was cold and dead inside. My life was meaningless and I didn't care. I shut the world away so I couldn't break anymore. My pain turned into angry and rage. I would not back down from any one not even Sesshoumaru. I became he's assassin and he was content with his brother's forgotten mate that had no emotions doing his dirty work because she had cased her heart in ice.
That is until Inuyasha came and found me again. My whole world seemed wrong…..
~-:-:-~
It has been 3 years since we defeated narkaru. We are in peace at the moment. Mirkuo and Sango had got married right after, but that didn't stop miroku to knock Sango up after they married with twins no less. Twin girl's iyumi and kamii. She is excepting again with a boy I think they will name sama for the jewel. My wedding with inuyasha is tomorrow then I go off with him to finish the mating ceremony. According to inuyasha all youkai mark their mates and fuse their powers together ensuring their immortal life is shared with their mates. They are able to know what their mate is thinking, doing and feeling at any time. Their power would increase depending on the demon.
It's the night before their wedding and Sango stole Kagome away and is keeping her stolen away in her hut. They are going to have a girl's night while Miroku is to have a guy's night with Inuyasha though he is proven to be difficulty.
"Inuyasha you can't stay here with me and Kagome. It's your wedding night. It's a human custom. Go stay in your hut, Miroku should be there. I think he wanted to celebrate you're the night before the human side of you gets married." Sango forcibly shoved him out of her hut.
"Sango, I can't let Kagome out of my sight. She almost died. She must stay with me, what if Kikyo comes and tries to kill her." Inuyasha yelled at Sango and pushed her aside and went inside her hut.
"Kagome….KAGOME." Inuyasha yelled through the hut.
"Inuyasha I'm right here. And I'm fine. Sango is right the night before a human wedding is supposed to be spent apart. Its tradition. Please Inuyasha go to our hut, Miroku should be there. He wants to celebrate the night before our wedding. Sango is here. Kikyo won't come here out of foolishness. Not when our hut is within your senses. You can smell if anything is wrong. If she comes near I promise you can come in here and take me to our hut for safety, please Inuyasha I will be fine." Kagome spoke while walking out of the back room in a simple yuakata. Inuyasha was trying will all his will not to steal her away and mate her now.
"Kagome I will do this for you, but will you promise me you will stay inside with Sango. I can't let my mate be harmed before we have officially finished the mating ceremony tomorrow night." Inuyasha held Kagome and was fighting his demon on just stealing her away from this all.
"I promise. Me and Sango just plan on talking about her wedding and doing girly things I promise." Kagome reassured her mate to be by kissing him and he left with no fights.
That night Sango and Kagome talked late into the night, the same for Inuyasha and miroku, Although it was mostly Miroku trying to get information out of inuyasha about how far him and Kagome had gone. He did not succeed in getting any information. Sango retired for the night and Miroku was the same. Kagome stared into the sky from her room of Sango's hut thinking of how she almost lost her life fighting Naraku. Inuyasha sat in the tree by Sango's hut to watch over Kagome but hes thoughts also drifted to the fight with Naraku and how Kagome almost lost her life at that battle and at the cost of Kikyo trying to take back her soul from Kagome.
FLASHBACK:
"Naraku it is time for you to leave this world and never return." Kagome stood before narkaru with a pink glowing bow and arrow pointed straight at his heart.
Naraku had injured Kagome deeply but she also damaged him as much as he did her and only him. In the midst of their battle Kagome put up a barrier around Naraku and her. She knew she had to fight Naraku Alone. She wouldn't allow Inuyasha or her friends to help her, this was her battle and hers alone she knew that. Her barrier showed her power and strength and all her friends could do was watch helpless on the outside. Naraku knew he was going to die and only kagome would be able to do that deed. He thought that at one time Kikyo only had the power to do such, but Kikyo's heart became tainted with revenge for her death by naraku and greed for inuyasha's heart with her in hell so her miko light dimmed and she didn't have the power to kill him anymore.
"My dear Kagome I will not be going alone I will be taking your soul with me. If I can't have you and your power no one shall. Inuyasha won't be able to help you; your soul will be trapped in hell with me forever." Naraku said with a smug face and waited for her to attack first knowing that Kikyo would be waiting for her once he was dead her true intentions would be known.
Kagome rage was more than anything naraku or her friends have ever seen. Kagome whole being glow pink and her aura was filling the barrier but not going out of it. The whole barrier sparked and swirled. All of her friends backed away from the barrier with not wanting to get burned from the power radiating off it. Nothing Naraku did would be able to save him he was going to die and he was going to make sure she came with him. Naraku rushed towards her only to find kagome engulfed in a white barrier. She opened her eyes to only have her aura spread out and flings him into the back of the barrier.
"Narkaru the time has come for your demise. We can't allow you to interfere in this world any longer." Kagome and another voice spoke. Kagome eyes were white and her body sparked with lighting and her body was shielded in a white barrier. Kagome raised her hand and flung in backwards and naraku was flown into the barrier and was dismembered but he didn't regenerate he stayed armless. Another attack was thrown to naraku and he was dead and with another flick of her wrist naraku's body turned into dust and blow away with the wind. Kagome although stayed in her form unable to calm down enough to revert back but inuyasha broke the barrier and rushed to her. At sight of Inuyasha and her friends unharmed and well she fell to the ground with more wounds than a mortal girl should receive. Inuyasha saw the cuts along her face, shoulders and arms. The deep gashes along her chest, stomach, back and thighs were the most severe. Bruises everywhere and blood freely flowed from her wounds. Inuyasha was horror stroked by her wounds and wouldn't even let Sango and miroku near her. His demon took over as soon as he smelled the Kikyo.
Kikyo walked into their sight. Nothing but an emotionless face told nothing of what she had planned for her reincarnation Kagome.
"Silly girl. She broke through my block on her power. She will put up no fight when I take back my soul. It is mine and the power she holds should be mine." Kikyo spoke as she walked towards Kagome on the ground behind inuyasha with him growling and protecting kikyo from her.
"Kikyo leave her. She defeated Naraku. You are free to die in peace but I will Not be going with you, my place is with kagome. I love her." Inuyasha's demon spoke the truth of inuyasha's heart.
"Inuyasha are you choosing this girl instead of me. " Kikyo inquired and her response was a growl from Inuyasha
"So it seems you have. She is important to you then." Kikyo chuckled.
Kikyo dashed to Kagome and stabbed her in the heart with a holy knife. With abilities to steal a holy soul, Kikyo had found out that Kagome was indeed NOT in her incarnation some time ago. Her power and soul was her own but the power she had was incredible. She could purify not only her, inuyasha, Lord Sesshoumaru and Naraku in one sitting but also have plenty of power to go on with her day. She wanted this power, the power of the gods.
Kagome glowed as she lifted into the air and was engulfed into a white barrier. Her soul was trying to come out but she pulled it back in. She wouldn't let her soul be pulled back to Kikyo when it wasn't even her soul in the first place. Kikyo was furious Kagome wouldn't give into the knife pulling out her soul.
"You wrenched girl. You need to give me your soul. I need your power." Kikyo tried shooting an arrow at her but it shoot back at her and tore open her clay shoulder.
"Seek the words I say. Kagome, I will come for your soul. This power the gods gave you, your soul. It will be mine. Learn all that you may, but when I come for you no amount of training will allow you to beat me." Kikyo soul demon catchers took her away as she spoke her words.
Kagome fell to the ground but never made it. Inuyasha caught her mid-air. Kagome body wouldn't hold much longer and everyone knew it.
"Inuyasha we need to get her to Kadae right away. Her miko powers are permitting the knife from hitting her heart. Who knows the extent of her injuries?" Sango approached Inuyasha who was holding Kagome very tightly.
Inuyasha and Kagome arrived back at Kadae's right before Sango and Miroku did, they all rushed into her hut scarring her a bit. She excused it when saw the extent of Kagome's injuries and barked orders for water and bandages quickly from Sango to gather from Kagome's bag. She rushed Miroku and Inuyasha out of the hut so she may clean her up first.
It took all of Kagome's bandages to cover her wounds. The knife however took some time to remove. Both Miroku and Kadae had to use to their powers and only managed to budge it ¼ inch a day. Five days of Miroku and Kadae powers pulling on the knife it finally came free. One week later Kagome finally woke up with Inuyasha by her side.
"Kagome I am happy to see you're awake again. I really thought I lost you, you lost so much blood." Inuyasha was in her face the moment she awoke.
"Inuyasha do you mind. But I am happy to see you too." Kagome sat up a little annoyed he jumps her as soon as she woke.
"Kagome, I can't allow you to leave me again. I almost went mad to see you so injured. My demon side did not want to lose you too. Even though I have never admitted it, I love you Kagome. The moment I woke from my prison tied to that damn tree I fell for you. I didn't want to let you see how much I cared for you. I knew it was a weakness I couldn't afford to let anyone know. But now there is no more naraku, Even though now Kikyo is the threat but there is no way in hell I will let you out of my sight. So I decided I want my emotions to show and my feeling for you to be known. Kagome I would like to know if you would be my mate. My mate forever and even beyond that. We will live forever even into death and beyond it into our next lives together." Inuyasha held kagome as she cried for she wanted to hear him say those words to her. " Inuyasha spoke to her only truth.
"Inuyasha you don't know how long I have waited to hear you say those words. I have loved you for so long my world without you seems useless. I feel in love with the half demon, the human and the full demon that you are. I love all of you as you are now. I never wanted you to change even for me. I just wanted you to be happy but I can't be happy without you so yes I would be the happiest woman alive to become your mate. "kagome cried in his chest as she spoke he loving words to him and he couldn't be happier.
~end flashback~
Morning came all to quickly and Inuyasha went to Kagome's window to take in the sight of her sleeping so soundly.
"At least Kikyo didn't try anything foolish. We will be mate in a matter of hours. "Inuyasha thought as he took in her honey and almond scent. He loved her scent. He would never admitted it back then but now he could say it out loud. His mate was stirring so he decided to let her be till he was back in her arms.
