Kagome sighed as she sat by the river, watching some fish jump out of the water, only to return to where they belonged. She knew it would be inevitable, she too, was soon going to have to accept the fact that she didn't belong in the past, she was from the future, and that is where she was going to have to return, with or without knowing if her Inuyasha loved her or not.
"It doesn't matter anyway," Kagome said to the water, as drops of water fell from her eyes. "As long as he's happy, that all I'll care about far longer then forever. She lightly smiled and began to sing a pretty song she'd heard along time ago.
In
a perfect world
One we've never known
We would never need to
face the world alone
They can have the world
We'll create
our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But somewhere in
my secret heart
I know
Love will find a way
Anywhere I
go
I'm home
If you are there beside me
Like dark turning
into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found
you
Love will find a way
Kagome was so caught up in her song, that she didn't notice the silver hair, or the doggy ears approaching the singing woman. Suddenly from where they were coming from came the second verse to Kagome's song.
I
was so afraid
Now I realize
Love is never wrong
And so it
never dies
There's a perfect world
Shining in your eyes
"Inuyasha..." Kagome thought at first it was Inu, but then saw the rosary. "Inuyasha...why..." "Hey, hush, I happen to like this song, you know...but I do need some help with it, if you remember correctly." Kagome smiled and nodded.
Then they both sang together, and they weren't too bad at it either.
And
if only you could feel it too
The happiness I feel with you
You'd
know
Love will find a way
Anywhere we go
We're home
If we
are there together
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll
come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
I know love will find a way
Aftet they were done the little song, Kagome turned to Inuyasha, "Is he dead?" Inuyasha didn't answer, he just gestured for Kagome to sit with him, of course, nothing could have made her sit by him faster.
"Inuyasha?" "You...you'd have to leave for good wouldn't you?" "I..." Kagome sighed sadly and nodded, "Yes, I would..." "I thought so, thats why I..." Here is was the moment of truth, the moment, Kagome knew what she was to do. She knew he'd never waste a minute killing Naraku, and was prepared to hear that Onigumo was indeed dead.
"I let him go free." Kagome at first sighed and looked away, then whipped her head back to the hanyou. "You what!" "I let him go," "Why! Inuyasha! This has been your goal for the longest time!" "True, but I'll have pleanty of oppourtunaties to kill him, but theres something I would have pleanty of oppourtunaties to do," "What are they?" "I wouldn't get to...do this," He moved in closer and captured Kagome's lips in one swift motion.
Kagome thought that her heart would stop at the jolt of electricity that shot through her body at as their lips touched. Her Inuyasha's soft, lips, she finally got to feel her's against his. She knew that even if she died right now, she would die a very happy woman, fore she had finally gotten to feel Inuyasha's lips upon hers.
"Inuyasha...you let your worst enemy escape, when you could have killed him, I know why, but I don't know why." "Kagome, any life without you in it isn't worth living." "I...Inuyasha..." "My whole life changed the day I met you, and...well...thruthfully, I...I've become far too used to you being around, to have you not around," "I think I understand...but not completely..." "Oh, come on! Are you going to make me say it!" "Say what?" "That I let Onigumo go, because...I...I..." "You what?" There was a silence for a while, then Inuyasha spoke again.
"I love you." "Wha..." "I love you, hey, sounds even better second time," "What about Kikyo?" "Hm...you're different then she is, true, I'll probably never fully get over her, but there is a thing called time and within time, I should be able to at least get over my infatuation for her." Kagome was speechless. True she'd wanted to hear those words come from his mouth, but she was so surprised that he'd actually decided against killing Onigumo, who of course, would turn out to be Naraku in the future. Then it dawned on Kagome, she was 50 years further into the past, so if she and Inuyasha returned to Miroku and Sango, she would be in the future. She smiled, and decided that it was time for them to bid farwell nd head back, that was until she felt a pircing in her right arm. "ARGH!!" She looked at her arm and saw an arrow. She then passed out.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha called her name, but she did not respond. "KAGOME!!" She was unconcious and couldn't hear his calling voice.
"Kagome...what..." He saw the arrow, then looked around, to find Kikyo, standing right to Kagome's right.
"Kikyo!" "I know not who you are, half breed! However, the woman there, has something that I am to possess!" Kikyo moved forward. "Keep the fuck away from Kagome!" "Foolish creature! She has stolen the Shikon no tama!" "Stolen! Ha! It's more purrified in her hands you witch!" "hand over the jewel, and the girl will not be killed..." "Hm, how about this, get the fuck out of my sight, and you may live to see another day! How about that?" "You really think that you, a filthy half blood could injure me? Let alone kill me!" "I can! I wi..." "Inuyasha, don't, don't talk like that to Kikyo." Kagome said softly, as she sat up in Inuyasha's arms.
"How are you able to wake!" "I am able, because I am strong." Kagome turned to Inuyasha. "Please, Inuyasha, please don't talk like that to Kikyo, please," "Kagome...your arm...huh!" "It doesn't hurt anymore, it did for a bit, but then the pain subsided and I was able to break free of the spell." "Kagome..." "Forget what has happened Inuyasha, I shall give her the jewel, it is only right after all." "Hm...right." "Why would a half breed be willing to give up the jewel?" "Bacues this half breed, no longer needs to become full human or full demon to belong somewhere, I already belong...with Kagome." "Mhm, you do and you always will, so here, tkae the jewel, and you'll meet another hanyou like Inuyasha, but instead of being man, try being nice. It wouldn't hurt to show some compasion." "Compasion! For demons and hanyou!" "Yes, now, Inuyasha, let us return home, the others are waiting for us." "Right." Inuyasha lept into a tree, Kagome in his arms, bridal style, leaving the still young Kikyo, alone to think about things.
