Unexpected Outcome
Ok so this is my first fan-fiction story. It is a SessKag pairing from Inuyasha.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Inuyasha. Rumiko Takahashi does.
Unexpected Outcome
Change of Events
The Shikon-No-Tama had just become closer to being completed and shone a pure pink colour whilst glistening in the sunlight.
'This where my life will go back to normal and I will never see anyone again. The end here is so close for me.' This is the one thought that kept on going through Kagome's head. Never before had she felt so alone and isolated from everyone in the group.
"What's up Kagome? Are you there?" Sango tried to get her friend's attention from the sky to her. Kagome had meant so much to her in so little time. She became like a sister as well as being her best friend. She knew that all of this was going to end as soon as the jewel was completed and the wish was made and she would be without her again. She lost Kohaku recently in a battle between them and Naraku. He took the fragment out of Kohaku's back to make himself stronger. But she would have Inuyasha, Shippo, Miroku and Kirara to help her through it all, not like Kagome.
"Kagome!"
"Hm? Oh, hi Sango"
"Are you feeling ok? I lost you for a bit then."
"Oh, I'm just wondering what happens when the jewel is completed and the wish is made, that's all."
"Ok, I just came out to ask if you wanted to come to the hot springs that are a little farther back from camp"
"Sure, why not?"
Miroku had heard the girls agree to go to the hot springs so he decided to try his luck.
"Can I come too?" The sound of hiraikotsu hitting his head and the sound of a slap rung all through the campsite.
"NO YOU HENTAI!!!!" Sango and Kagome screamed in unison.
'Well, I tried' was the last thought he had before he blacked out.
"Will he ever learn Inu?" Shippo asked.
"Feh, unlikely" Was the reply he got from Inuyasha.
***********************************************************************
"So, what are you thinking of wishing for Kags?"
"For everything Naraku did in his life to be undone and for things to go on like he never existed. Miroku will have the wind tunnel removed, you will get the villagers and your family back and Inuyasha can live with Kikyo as he would have if she didn't die."
"So, she will come back to life a third time?" Sango couldn't get her head around why Kagome would want to have her have Inuyasha after all she fought for. "But what about what you fought for?"
"Yes, she will come back, but only this time in flesh and blood, not a clay doll and I fought for my friends happiness. Why do you ask?"
"I thought you wanted to spend your life with Inuyasha. You do still love him like you did 4 years ago, don't you?"
'4 Years, has it really been that long for the pursuit of the jewel?'
*FLASHBACK*
*To earlier in the day*
It was a mild, sunny day and the group were heading south to a rumour they heard of a disturbance they were hoping would either be Naraku or a youkai of some sort with a jewel shard inside him somewhere. The breeze was calm and soothing from the stress of walking miles and miles to find a good place to set up camp for the night. As they were coming across a place it was getting dark. That was when Kagome realized something.
"Inuyasha! I sense a jewel shard nearby!" Kagome called, sliding down from atop the hanyou's back.
"What direction?" Inuyasha questioned
"East from here"
"EAST?!"
"Yeah, why? What's wrong Inuyasha?"
"That's where that fucking bastard brother of mine is. Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"Maybe the jewel shard hasn't been located by a demon. Kagome, is this possible?" The monk chimed in to stop the conversation becoming an argument.
"No, it's advancing towards us. Inuyasha, are you sure it's Sesshomaru, not another demon?" Kagome went on.
"Positive" He growled.
"He's not lying, Kagome. The only other demons around here are me and Kirara and we don't have any shards on us. But what would Sesshomaru want with them? Isn't he strong enough without the shard?" Shippo wanted to know what was going on around here and he wanted to know what it was that the taiyoukai wanted. But Sango beat him to it.
"What the hell does he want then?"
"That is none of your business, slayer. What I am here for is-"
"To get my Tetsusaiga any bets. Fuck off Sesshomaru, I'm not in the mood right now. You have a jewel shard so hand it over, NOW!!"
"Hello to you to, half-brother. Miko-"
"It's Kagome, not miko." Kagome exclaimed.
Sesshomaru repressed a sigh. "Does anyone around here have any manners to let me fini-"
"Feh, your one to complain. At least we call others by their names, you low-life bastard dog!" Inuyasha barked.
"Inuyasha" Kagome called out in her sing-song voice.
'Don't do it. Please, don't do it Kagome' "What?!" Inuyasha said with an annoyed tone, but not without the hint of fear in his voice.
"SIT!" Inuyasha ended up, once again, face down in the dirt with a loud *thud* that could be heard miles away. "I suggest that you don't so something so stupid again, Inuyasha, that is a quick way to end your life, baka!" Kagome scolded.
"Wench, just you wait until this wears off, ya hear?" was Inuyasha's muffled reply.
"I suggest you listen to … Kagome… if you want to live. I will not accept such behaviour from a hanyou such as yourself. Next time, I will kill you." By this time, the spell had worn off and Inuyasha had forgot about getting Kagome back for it.
"Bastard"
"Watch your language, half-breed. At least I am stronger than a simple necklace and spell."
"Bastard. You'll pay for that!" Inuyasha yelled whilst drawing out Tetsusaiga from it's sheath.
"Inuyasha!" At the sound of Kagome's voice he sheathed the Tetsusaiga, then grabbed Miroku and placed him in between him and Kagome so he couldn't receive her glare. She sighed at his attempt to hide. Really, he didn't think.
"What do ya want then?"
"To give the mik-" He received the most evil glare Kagome could give. He knew he didn't want to piss Kagome off, as being purified by untrained powers could hurt… a bit, anyway "To give Kagome this." Sesshomaru threw the shard to her the same time as he finished.
"Why would you help us?" Shippo innocently asked. By the time he had finished, the taiyoukai had vanished.
"Kagome, don't tell me you have feelings for the bastard" Inuyasha roared at her.
"Why would I have feelings for him?!" Kagome bit back. She really had know idea what the hell had gotten into Inuyasha's head, he hadn't been himself recently and it was starting to worry her a little. Now, he is asking the strangest of questions she would never have thought him to ask her. What was his problem?
"Why else would he give you a shard?"
"I don't know, ask him!"
"Pardon me for intruding in your argument, but lady Kagome, could it be possible you love Sesshomaru?"
"WHAT?! MIROKU!!" Kagome screamed, not surprised that he would ask such a perverse question.
"You haven't been yourself lately." Inuyasha worried over his friend.
"Neither have you, Inuyasha, neither have you."
"You do still love me, right?" Inuyasha had to know she hadn't lost her mind.
"Yes, Inuyasha. But the same way I love Sota. As a brother."
*END FLASHBACK*
"Kagome?" Sango mused Kagome from her thoughts for the second time that day. She knew she had probably forgotten the question.
"Yes?"
'Just as I thought' "I asked do you still love Inuyasha like you did 4 years ago?"
"No, it's more of a love I would feel for Sota coming to think about it, actually."
'I think I'm in love with his half-brother though.' She was thinking back to what happened earlier that day. Miroku's question had her thinking a bit about what she felt for Sesshomaru.
'Well, it's confirmed. I do feel something for Sesshomaru. Only, I'm not quite sure yet'
