The Joke's On You, Reluctance To Be

By Inuyashas Youkai

The Skies were a bright blue, speckled with great fluffy clouds; almost like cotton candy, the atmosphere peaceful with one exception, and No demons to slay. It seemed that today would definitely turn out to be a good day . Almost . Maybe speaking if the exception wouldn't be apart of the equation, but doing that would take out all of the fun. Indeed, today would likely be most interesting of all days .

To think it all started with everyone's favorite clueless, In denial ,temperamental, and dense couples known to man. As it turns out they were engaged into one of their notorious screaming matches to the death ,or in other words until one was repeatedly face-planted into the the dirt ;really gives a new meaning towards:

Telling someone to eat dirt.

Indeed after it was all said and done , Kagome returned to her time for a reprieve from their bout of stupidity only to return when the hanyou was forced to bring her back .Although this was time was different .Kagome had come back on her own ,and this time she not only appeared different but also acted different .

The girl came back in a light blue short Kimono and a a darker blue Haori, with a little makeup. Walking past the hanyou and straight to where she knew where Sango and Miroku were. Needless to say other than with the slight nod ,and hello she bestowed ,as she mumbled to him , and then left .. This kinda miffed him within his mild shock with the girl's odd behavior towards him.

Slightly curious ,Inuyasha followed her silently to let this one play itself out, while forgetting that tonight was the festival that they all were planning to attend. Sango quickly outside, as she overheard Shippo's cries signaling that Kagome was back, and met her friend in a hug with a similar Kimono but it was blue with a darker blue Haori. Miroku soon stepped out in a purple one while he eyed the hanyou to urge him quietly to go inside to change.

After a couple looks of confusion towards the monk ,Inuyasha finally got the message and left to change momentarily coming out in a black Kimono ,black haskama ,and a Grey Haori. Now almost sunset ,all four walked towards the center of the village where the festivities and lights were set and active. Soon it had come for Kagome to leave them as Kaede had called her from where she was ,leading her away from the three.

Only to return ,unknowingly but to Sango . Kagome was now dressed in a rather elegant silver kimono with a butterfly mask held in front of her face . Sango from where she stood winked at her to gain odd looks from the guys as the girl up front winked back before the soft music began to play. Kagome began to dance a old ceremonial dance that was a honor ,for Kaede requested her to do,and reading about it was confirmed that there was only part of it was slightly unknown to her . That was who would be the one to join her, and soon as she felt a shadow cast over her looking up Kagome got her answer.

Inuyasha had stood above her ,offering him his hand obviously against wearing the ceremonial mask ,Kagome slowly took her hand. Although this gave her a idea that would make the hanyou blush and at taking a page from from the book of Sango when she became dazed and snuggled against Inuyasha, before asking him to ditch Miroku and herself. Kagome laid her cheek against his chest , and then tightened her hold against the spot she held him , amongst the lower half of his waist ..

Feeling almost the subtle breath's upon her neck , beneath her inky nest of now curly locks, as it seemed as though the hanyou was merely taking a sample of her scent. Upon recognition , Inuyasha's lips were felt lifting to graze against the sensitively heated part of her skin in the crook of her neck before the words gently but huskily flew from his now parted lips..

" Kagome..."

Everything seemed to go well , at least until the hanyou tensed afterward , and claiming that he had to depart. As Kagome's eyes soon followed the direction the hanyou was heading within the skies were the known silvery white tendrils slithering on the gentle gusts of the winds carrying the wishes of her master..Carrying a slight pained expression for the smallest of moments knowing that this was how things were meant to be , before turning to invite another male within the village to join her , as her replacement had just.. Left..

Later after the festival died down , and the villagers celebrating in attendance soon followed in departure when taking notice of the lack in supply of the sake. Kagome , like the others before her after saying her farewell's to everyone left decided that she too would retire seeing as though Miroku and Sango went sometime ago, but against her wishes was asked to take a chaperone to escort her back , seeing as who would've normally was no longer with her, or in sight.. The man asked of this by Kaede as a favor was somewhat pleasant but not whom she wished to accompany her, but Kagome relented anyway and allowed the man Kaname to walk her back .

Once they arrived to the spot ,almost where Kaede's hut stood the man before they broke through the neighboring trees of Inuyasha's forest had other things in mind contributed by his inebriated state. Kaname had suddenly pressed up against her body until she was pinned against a tree , as his lips soon fell to nearly consume her flesh , where it was now exposed. Fighting against her slightly horny and dazed captor , Kagome after many failed attempts finally escaped from his hold. Unfortunately this is also where she found that him being drunk off of sacramental sake wasn't his only issue. This man was also had been overtaken by what would seem to be that of a moth demon , and one whom they had once had the misfortune of coming across.

~Gatenmaru~

" Kagome , how pleasant it is for me to embark on your presence once again .. I have thought of you since the last time we met, and I see you still carry the delicious sorrow,more than that of your friend .. Where is he may I ask? No matter my business solely is with you , Kagome.."

Upon Gatenmaru's presence felt gaining the distance closer , enough to wrap his fingers around her to lay on the low of her back , and entrapping her from escaping , Kagome unknowingly out of fear provoked a spark of light to burst forth and slam the moth demon into a far away tree. Without hesitation , Kagome then after seeing what had happened without knowing how or why, soon fled before the situation got more out of hand. A noise on her way to finish the remaining trek back to the hut where her friends where sleeping and oblivious to what had become of her , led her to something that with the events occurring previously, not so long ago, and found this wasn't the sight she was ready for..

Watching from a nearby tree, shaking like a leaf , with a emotion as her heart was shattered into pieces within the woman's chest . The tears falling without restraint as the pain became too much , stubbornly exposed against the carrier's will. Turning from the heartbreaking scene defeatedly walking aimlessly , through the wild brush caressing her flesh , and harshly leaving the evidence of deep abrasions amongst her legs. The sting wasn't felt as Kagome's body became numb to it's superior , and greater pain as her heart slowly became tainted with darkness.

Along the small edge , a subtle blackness emerging through it's pure light started to grow within . The reality pounding with the beat of her heart reaffirming it's painful truth , her hanyou decided to abandon her for his past love. Everything that had passed between Inuyasha and herself was a lie. Unbeknownst to her within her blurry unseeing eyes , forgotten it's use ,as her body was currently overcome with pain to notice what was anymore. Where she was , or the direction she went , mattered not , not no more, without the holder of her heart.

The woman came upon a clearing with a drop into a powerful raging waterfall's, flowing with the descending rapids, from the stream cutting through the earth to it's destination. If the woman cared to notice of her surroundings , Kagome would've thought it was beautiful. The way the moon cast it's pale light , soothingly caressing the scene and bathing the area with a ethereal glow .

Although besides escaping the deep wound within her chest , all the while with shock embedding itself just beneath her skin. Feeling nothing from the marring of her flesh due to exhaustion, the girl frantically searched to find the pain's cause , to destroy it , forgetting temporarily what had led heron this course. Stumbling over a fallen branch , the woman fell haphazardly to the grounds edge, hitting her skull on a sharp boulder, before her body flipped over , with the inertia of her fall , falling over the earth's ceasing , and soon becoming one with the cascading rush of water.

The water tossed her limp body from side to side carelessly as her crimson fluids faintly mixed with the bubbly foam of the clear liquid. Thrown to it's bottom depths until her body floated to break the small stream's serene silence , limply still. Kagome's heart already slowing as her chest had already replaced it's air with a large amounts of water , while her body was drowning , literally suffocating from the inside out. Kagome's form still not moving, frozen stiff, as she was thrown onto her stomach , with her face still embedded into it's silent deadly captor.

While the blood from her injuries still leaked out quickly around her so did the scent of death swirling , hovering over her , just waiting for the soon coming moment to strike. Within a nearby path leading up to the beautifully cruel scene , a stoic demon walking past to search out the whereabouts of his sought enemy Naraku , along with a child charge , and a small toad , as his confidant , passing through in toe. A scent overwhelming his senses led him on this path ton find possible clues as to Naraku's present location. Salt , pain , large amounts of blood , a tinge of lingering darkness emerging , and combined with something else that fueled his pyre, upon taking in the sight.

Poetically saying against the coming gusts of wind to pull the girl known to travel with his nit wit of a relation , Sesshomeru soon had the girl laying on his Haori amongst the solid ground to overlook her injuries,though it would seem as though that he , himself had gotten there just in time before death did finally take the only answer to assist in ending the endless abomination , which was Naraku.

Though after finding that once instructing Jaken to take his charge elsewhere, and doing something that the Inu demon couldn't explain himself as to doing the following actions , with the blunt sharpness of his fangs, sunk them deeply into the paling flesh of the human girl, and marking her as one of his possessions.
