They say destiny can't be changed, that fate is fate. Does that mean that everything in life is predetermined already? A train bound to it's rails on a path that's already been set. Well I don't completely believe that I do believe in destiny to some extent but I don't think everything is decided, rather than a train on a railroad, I feel like it's a dirt road with with multiple routes to choose from and it's up to you to decide which way you'd like to go. Whether it be the paved road or the road less traveled, the decision is yours to make. This is the story of how two lost souls rediscovered themselves and each other.
"Wahhhhh!" cried the small fox demon.
"Don't cry Shippo, I know this is tough but you have to be strong." said a young women
"But Kagome I'm not strong at all! Waaah!"
"Shippo, now we both know that isn't true you've saved our lives on multiple occasions." Kagome stated, noticing the young fox was starting to calm down.
"Now promise me, you'll protect Lady Kaede and the village while I'm away. Okay?" she said with a sincere smile.
Shippo wiped away the snot and tears from his face "Okay, I promise I'll do my best." he replied in between sobs. Kagome chuckled and gave the boy a comforting hug.
"Now now child, come here." an elderly voice said
"Lady Kaede, I cant thank you enough, for all that you've taught me." Kagome bowed to the older woman.
"Oh not at all dear, if anyone should be saying thanks it is I. One has to wonder as to what state these lands would be in if it weren't for your help." Kaede took a step towards the young woman and wrapped her arms around her.
"Thank you for all that you've done Kagome", she said tears running down her elderly face.
Kaede took Shippo's hand and they both began to walk back towards the village. "Goodbye Kagome!" yelled the small fox from a distance. She waved at him and then turned to see the monk, and the demon slayer. Kagome walked towards them before embracing them both in a hug.
"I'm going to miss you guys so much" Kagome said
"We too are going to miss you Kagome." spoke Miroku
"To be completely honest, I really don't want you to go but I understand that you have to." Sango said
"Thank you both for being so understanding" she said then they separated from the hug. "So you two are official now huh?" Kagome said with a chuckle
"Sure are!" the Monk said with a huge grin as he place his hand on Sango's shoulder, earning a small but evident blush from the demon slayer.
"So what's the plan for the two of you now?" Kagome asked
" Well, I wan-" Mirouku started but was cut off
"It's undecided" Sango interjected
There was a moment of silence before Kagome spoke up.
"So I guess he really decided not to show up huh" she said looking at the ground
Miroku took a stepped closer to Kagome, then placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Do you really believe that?" he said reassuring her with a smile, to which she returned.
"We'll give you two some time, farewell friend" he said
"Take care of yourself Kagome." Sango added and they both began walking towards the village
After they were out of sight she turned her stare towards the forest trees waiting for him to come out, but he did not. She took a seat on the edge of the "Bone Eater Well", this is where it all began her adventure through feudal era Japan she thought to herself. The wind was howling and the tree branches were rustling against each other, she closed her eyes and listened, she truly was going to miss this place.
After ten minutes of waiting a red shiloutte jumped out of the forest shrubbery and landed in front of her with his back towards her, an in his clenched hand, dangling was the Sacred Jewel of Four Souls.
"Inuyasha" she spoke tenderly, but he did not move an inch
"Inuyasha please" but still nothing
"Was this really how he was going to act?" She thought to herself, she understood that he might of been mad but still, that didn't justify this.
"Inu-" she stopped when he suddenly turned around and she noticed his face. It broke her heart.
He didn't look angry, he just looked sad. Sad and defeated. She took a step towards him and placed a hand on his cheek letting it rest there before sliding it down to his neck, taking hold of the beads that were around it.
"I should've done this a long time ago." Kagome said and the beads began to glow. Inuyasha's eyes widened when he realized what she was about to do.
"Wai-" he began but before he could finish the necklace of beads collapsed around him. he clenched his teeth
"So this is it huh" He said, his tone almost too low for her to hear
"You're just going to leave after everything we've been throught!?" he yelled
"Inuyasha, please try to understand I don't belong in this era, and I can't just abandon my family to stay here." She said
Then why entrust me with Sacred Jewel? Why not give to Kaede? You know what I'll do with this!?" maybe if he was a full fledged demon he wouldn't feel emotions and the pit in his stomach that he currently had would disappear along with his other emotions.
"Inuyasha, I gave you the sacred jewel because I want you to be happy, and I believe you'll do the right thing with it." Kagome said
"Happy?! I don't need the jewel to be happy Kagome, I want y-" he was cut off
"INUYASHA!" she yelled
"Please, please Inuyasha don't finish saying that, don't make this harder on me than it already is please!" she pleaded tears streaming down her face. Inuyasha clenched his jaw and looked away, and silence befell them. They stood there for awhile neither of them speaking a word, and before either had noticed the sun was beginning to set.
"I have to go now" Kagome spoke up she placed a gentle kiss on Inuyasha's cheek, before turning around to walk towards the well. Inuyasha stood there frozen as she positioned her self at the well. This was it, this was the moment he was dreading, a sudden cold sweat came over him and his hearing became disoriented, he felt a lump form in the back of his throat, his heart began pounding loudly against his chest. He watched her throw her legs over the edge of the well to get ready to jump, but she paused for a moment and turned to look at him. Her lips parted and she said something but he couldn't hear a word she said, she smiled sincerely at him and then before he could snap out of his current state she jumped. A light emerged from the well and after that Inuyasha fell to his knees.
"Goodbye Kagome." he said and as a tear rolled down his cheek.
That night everyone in the nearby village heard a terrifying roar come from the forest, in the direction of Bone Eater Well. When Kaede, Shippo, Sango, and Miroku went to investigate they were shocked to find the surrounding area had been completely destroyed everything but the well, Sango walked towards the well and spotted the beads of Inuyasha's collapsed necklace.
That night was also the night Inuyasha disappeared along with the Sacred Jewel.
A/N: Hey everyone I know my writing isn't the best by any means but I had this Idea and so I decided to type it up. Funny side story though I had to type it twice because the first time a nat landed on the corner of my screen and I forgot my laptop has a touch screen so I went to squish it and I ended up deleting everything I had done. I was literally one paragraph from finishing it Anyways I was going to leave it be and not even bother re-typing it but decided to give it another go. Anyhow I hope you enjoyed it please feel free to drop a review if you enjoyed it.
