Hello everyone this is my first fanfic, but I have been reading them for almost a year so, I finally got up the courage to try it out. I would love feedback and reviews but if you are the silent, shy type that just likes to read that's ok too. I will still put up new chapters. I am not sure if this will be Kag/Inu or Kag/Sess I am still debating. I like Inuyasha but his brother just seems like he needs the love just as badly. On with the story.
Disclaimer: Inuyasha and story belongs to Rumiko Takahashi, this is just a fan fic.
What Once Was Lost, Now Is Found
Dark, luminous clouds shadowed the clearing and the forest was cast in an eerie shade of gray. The wind howled and whipped her long ebony tresses back and forth like scattered dandelion seeds. Where was he? She had told him that she would return from her time with supplies in two days, and that had been a struggle just to get him to agree. It had taken two determined "sits" and a threat of no more ramen to get him to agree to the short break. But it wasn't just the supplies that she needed that made her want to leave. It was the uneasy feeling she was having after the dreams that woke her drenched in sweat at night. It was always the same white and black energy swirling around her forcing her breath out of her lungs to the point where she couldn't breathe or see anything but light. That's when everything went crazy and she could feel immense amounts of power rushing over her frame burning her from within to the point that it broke through and scattered leaving a void and nothing but her naked body laying helpless upon the ground. The pain was laborious and steady, like a pulse, and she needed to push her way out. What did it mean? And why did she feel like something powerful and warm was buried inside of her begging to be called forth? What was blocking her from reaching into her soul and commanding her power? She had been feeling like this and dreaming this dream ever since Kikyo had died the second time and Kagome's soul was complete again. Was it Kikyo's power or was it more? It was draining trying to figure it out and that is why she had returned home to rest away from the world full of demons, and jewel shards, and magic. But the dreams only came more frequently and the night before she had awoken to find herself glowing and hovering above her bed and it was frightening. So she had come back at five in the morning to a land covered in clouds and shadows, and she knew the sun would not shine this day.
Inuyasha's ears perked and his nose sniffed the air. He was perched in the Goshinboku and it was way too early for Kagome to be returning but yet he could smell and hear her presence. He quickly jumped from his tree and set off for the well wondering what made her return so early. He was worried about her since they had talked about their pain of Kikyo's death. Kagome was having nightmares and fits and she wouldn't tell him what was wrong. The pain of Kikyo's death was still fresh in his mind but he could also realize that he needed to watch over Kagome too. Kikyo was gone, but she had never really been truly there. She was only called back by a piece of Kagome's soul. Inuyasha was finally coming to the realization that he had lost Kikyo over fifty years ago. But what did he feel for Kagome? Well that was another thing altogether. He knew he cared for her but he just wasn't ready for another relationship like the one he had with Kikyo. He didn't want to hurt and he didn't want Naraku to hurt Kagome to get to him. Pushing her away was worrying him too. What if she no longer cared as much? What if she developed feelings for another? That thought pissed him off and he tried not to thing about it. It was hard not to notice the way men and demons looked at her, and know that he couldn't totally keep them back. He didn't really have a claim on her. So Koga was just an annoyance and any other male. It was completely frustrating because he wanted just to be done with the jewel shards so he could take the time to explore the possibility of a relationship with her. He trusted her, even if he didn't tell her. He had trusted her since the day she had found out about his human transformation. She had risked her life just to safe his, that's when he first fell in love. He knew she trusted him too but he was starting to suspect that she was keeping something from him, something big. Inuyasha wasn't sure if it was because of Kikyo's death and she was trying to be strong for him, or if it was something else.
He found her in the clearing and he was about to start yelling at her coming back early and it was lucky he was so close when some demon could have attacked, when she turned around and looked at him. But her eyes were crystal blue when they should have been chocolate brown, and her hair was whipping around her with blue waves of pure, raw power. He was afraid and he wanted to know who or what was happening to her. He drew Tessaiga and growled, "Kagome?"
In a moment her eyes blinked back to their normal color and her hair settled around her and she looked confused.
"Inuyasha?" she questioned and then everything went blank as she tumbled to the ground. Inuyasha leapt into the air and gracefully caught Kagome and held her close with a worried look and rushed back to the village to their sleeping companions.
