He stopped in front of them, painting as he looked at their faces and their shocked expressions; Kaji stood anger filling his transformation again as the markings appeared on his skin, hands blazing.
"Why? So they can keep believing in your lie?"
"Kaji." Kagome pulled herself up.
"Just…don't."
Inuyasha's hand was on the hilt of his sword, he didn't want to use it on Kaji but feared that he didn't have it close he might get hurt himself. Kaji raised an eyebrow and the anger filled him so much that his eyes started to change color, from the sea blue to a blood red; he grinded his teeth as he looked at him not really hearing Kagome's cries as he charged at him hitting the young Hanyou in the stomach making him fly and crashing into a tree.
"So, you don't want me to tell them that no matter how much she cried, you still went through with it!"
Sango stood up taking out her boomerang ready to fight if she needed to.
"You couldn't just be happy you were a hanyou could you? I cant believe she ever loved you!" suddenly his blue gem dropped his hair becoming long flowing down to his waist.
Kagome gasped a little as he noticed a few tears that started to pour down his face he charged at Inuyasha fire emitting from his hand Inuyasha trying to block him with his sword only to be pushed and hit with the fire. He stepped back tripping over a over grown root of a tree causing him to fall and hit his head on a rock; as he began to zone in and out of consciousness hearing the faint shrieks of Kagome trying to calm down Kaji. Kagome ran towards him nor even caring if he would hit her or not, she grabbed him by the waist crying into his back; Kaji flinched a little looking back at the young Miko while tears still flowed. She looked up at him holding out her hand, he looked at her confused for a minute until she opened her hand and sitting in her palm was his blue gem, unblemished in the sun light, he took it in his hand placing it back on the end of his bracelet dangling as he looked up; as he breathed slower he transformed back to his former state and wrapped his arms around her and cried.
"Why? Why did he sell her to them….was her love not good enough?"
Her eyes shrunk as she heard what Kaji was saying, Inuyasha stood up rubbing his head and noticed the two in an embrace, she noticed him and separated from him and walked up to her hanyou friend. He couldn't look her in the face, eyes reverting everywhere but at her she soon grew impatient with him tapping her foot.
"How could, Inuyasha….she loved you."
Sango and Miroku along with Shippo walked up to their friend all with scowls on their faces; Sango looked over at Kaji walking over and holding out her hand for him to grab. He looked up and just stood up walking back at the hanyou and began walking away, Kagome turned around and noticed Kaji walking away.
"Kaji….wait."
He turned around and looked back at her, seeing the worry in her eyes and muttered "Going to look for Kasha on my own".
"I'm going with you." running towards him she noticed his shocked expression.
Kagome ran towards Kaji grabbing her bag as she ran past it shocking everyone as she grabbed his hand.
"I'm going to go help him look."
Moments later….
The rest of the gang stood there as they watched their young Miko walk away with Kaji, Sango and Miroku looked at each other and then ordered Shippo to go get some water by the river and then looked back at their friend. He looked at them with suspicion and taking a step back not sure if they were going to attack him or what; his golden orbs widened as the two huffed, crossed arms and sat down looking up at him until he sat next to them. He shifted on the grass uncomfortably, nervous as they kept looking at him gazing past his exterior and into his soul. He sighed crossed his arms and looked at his two friends.
"Ok…I'll tell you what happened." sighing and pulling his ashen hair out of his face
"We were young, she loved me the way I was but I wasn't happy with myself; I wanted to become a full fledged demon Kasha was one and it only made me feel worse. She didn't really like the idea of me finding a way to turn into a full demon but soon she just gave up trying to convince me otherwise, the way she would look at me every time I would come home sad…it almost pained her to see me that way.
"I…love you no matter what you are." she had told me.
If you're wondering, we did not make love, Kami knows I wanted to numerous of times; she would be down at the waterfall bathing. I wouldn't see her and then I would catch her at her beauty, her caramel skin glazed with the condensation dripping down, her shoulder length crimson locks framed her beautiful face I had never seen her like that…..but she saw me and to my surprise she only smiled and continued bathing, I think that was when I knew that I had loved her and that she would always feel the same. But, when I ran into a demon at the demon's village market he looked at Kasha's gem and then talked to me.
"If you give me the crystal along with the girl I can give you something that you crave."
That's when I snapped, with the chance to become a full demon I couldn't think straight…no, I just only cared about myself. After we got home, Kaji was out for a few days looking for something I don't remember what it was; I had put her to bed I could still feel strands of her hair in-between my fingers helping he fall asleep. She placed her hand on my chest telling me that she wanted me, but I told her to go to sleep from the so called fever I told her I had, I could still see the disappointment in her gaze, her mismatched orbs pooled with sorrow and worry but soon they started to disappear.
"SHHH…" I hushed her to sleep.
I had drugged her telling her that the tea was only a new herb I had bought…..she believed me.
I didn't think what I was doing was wrong, as I carried her unconscious body to the location the demon told me to meet him; she woke up just as I was handing her to him I had bound her hands and feet and took her gem.
"A good trade I would say young Hanyou….this woman is perfect." he had told he as she looked around trying to comprehend what was going on.
I remember what happened next like it was yesterday, she struggled trying to get free from the bounds looking at me with fear and worry, I couldn't look at her I just tossed the demon the small black pouch I had made her for her gem; Kasha screamed my name asking me what was going on and why I was doing this. The demon back slapped her, seeing her face turn and a purple and bluish mark soon appeared on her cheek; I snapped hitting the demon only to be settled down when he tossed me a small black bag I got distracted buy the small gem inside.
"Why! I thought you loved me? INUYASHA!"
As they disappeared, I get punched in the face, it had seemed that Kaji came into the scene; I guess he followed our scent and wanted to know what was going on. Its hard to say this but he is stronger than I am, he could of killed me and if I hadn't threw dirt in his eyes he might as well killed me. But as I was running it had seemed that the gem the demon traded me want really… Kaji threw a fire ball at me and it had melted the outer shell of the so called gem and showed its true form…a rock. Suddenly the words that she had said to me a few days ago echoed in my head.
"I…love you no matter what you are."
To this day even after meeting and falling in love with Kikyo, no love was ever greater than the one I had with Kasha. For many years I had tried to save her even find her, Kaji had given up on killing me and looked for Kasha, I crossed paths with him once before and it ended up with us fighting again. I know she hates me and all I want is to make things right and have her love me again."
Sango looked at the young Half Breed with shock tears escaping from her eyes as she bit her lip, lowering her head as Miroku pulled her close.
"Inuyasha….why would you do something so terrible?" she asked as she whipped the tears from her eyes and stood from the grass.
"I….don't…..know."
Miroku cleared his throat he couldn't look him in the eye, as Shippo returned with water for them Inuyasha looked at the path Kaji and Kagome took.
"He drugged and sold my sister to a demon for a fake jewel, thinking it could turn him to a full fledged demon."
The cold words that escaped his lips sent chills down her spine, it was getting dark and she started to get scared; grabbing Kaji's arm she could see him taking little glances at her. She blushed just noticing how handsome he was, nothing like her hanyou more of a rugged look with handsome features; she looked away feeling her cheeks blush. How old was he? She shook her head as they reached a spot where he started building a camp site, she sat next to him the warmth emitting form his hands as they wrapped around her trying to keep her warm. She felt his breath on her neck as he pulled her in close and whispered "Are you ok…Kagome…Are you warm enough?" she shook her head she was warm enough true it was cold in the dark forest but with him emitting this perfect fire that kept the both warm; she turned her head kissing the sleeping demon's lips they were warm.
