Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, Duh.
Sorry I haven't been updating lately guys, I've been busy with work and family. We all know how it goes so yeah. I was debating on which way to go with the story and decided to go with the lease obvious. So I hope you all enjoy the chapter and thanks for reviewing, keep it up.
The words seemed to be caught in her throat, and apparently theirs were too. The young woman Kagome had been chasing was no longer running, but now tightly clinging to the barrier that stood between the two.
'Kagome…?'
It was only but a whisper, but she still heard it. It tickled at her eardrums and sent a long shiver down her spine. Everything seemed so… surreal. She continued to search for the words as she gazed up into his eyes. Tears began threatening to break free.
Her foot moved forward, then the other and before even she knew it, she threw herself into the masculine arms. It was comforting, she hadn't felt them in so long, she had almost… forgotten. She then let the tears fall down her cheeks and chin, only to let them drip down and make tiny spots on the dirt of the forest.
Meanwhile, the girl continued starring at the bizarre sight in front of her. Hadn't this girl just been chasing her for who knows how long, and now her 'protector' was hugging her. What in the world was happening? Quirking her brow at the pair before her and feeling a bit uncomfortable at their embrace. She shifted from one foot to the other and crossed her arms in a demanding way. Finally they broke apart, not taking their gazes off each other.
'Kagome, I can't believe it's you! You're actually here!'
She took a step backward to be able to take in his whole image. Offering a bright smile she hugged the wolf demon one more time.
'It's good to see you again, Kouga'
Sitting on the forest floor would have been quit and uncomfortable experience, if Kagome even noticed. Her stomach still had the feeling of free falling from an 80-story building. It was Kouga, she couldn't believe it! It was so unreal that she even had to pinch herself a few times to make sure she wasn't dreaming.
Kagome I still can't believe you're back.'
Kouga shifted unsteadily. It was weird, he would admit, after not seeing Kagome for so long, it would be weird if it wasn't weird. He also had to admit, she looked better now as a woman than she did when she was just a teen.
Kagome gave a heart filled smile towards the wolf demon.
'I know, I thought… well I thought I had dreamt everything. You, Sango, Mirouku, Shippou, even…..'
She stopped short as her gaze drifted towards the ground. He knew the last person, she didn't have to finish it and he wasn't going to push her to.
Movement was seen out of the corner of her eye. The girl she had been chasing was fidgeting uncomfortable at the two. Although Kagome was unsure of if she was really uncomfortable or if she just didn't like being ignored. Kagome bowed slightly and greeted the woman with a bright smile.
'I'm sorry for chasing you like that it's just that…you look so much like my friend… Sango'
Kagome knew she had hit a mark, for right after she had said that the girls' eyes widened in shock. The girl started moving forward towards the woman who knew Sango. The girl started at Kagome's face then ran her eyes all the way down to her feet. She studied her and took in her appearance.
'You knew my great grandmother?'
Grandmother? Great? The words ran through Kagome's head, slowly. Realization hit and her jaw seemed to drop to the ground.
'Great Grand Mother?! '
She didn't mean to scream it, but she couldn't help it. She was in shock. This girl couldn't be real, how was Sango a Great Grandmother?! Turning her head slowly she locked eyes with Kouga. He didn't understand what was wrong, why would she be freaked out that Sango had a Great Grandchild. That's when it hit him, she didn't know.
Kouga quickly cleared his throat and began to laugh under his breath.
'So Kagome…'
She looked towards him with questioning eyes, wanting, no needing answers. He knew he couldn't hide it from her.
'Kagome…. You've been gone for over 200 years…'
