A/N: Here's chapter six of 'When I'm Gone'. But first, I just wanted to say that this chapter might be a bit confusing. I tried to explain it as much as I could in this chapter, you know, of what's been going on. But, Like I said, It's still a bit confusing. AND, I forgot to put this in here. Alright, Kagome is now 19, Souta is 13, Kurama is 19, Inuyasha 19, Miroku and Sango are 20 and Shippo is10.(Laughs nervously)
Disclaimer: I forgot to put this in here! Okay, here goes. (Takes a deep breath) I don't own either Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho. (Sighs sadly) Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?
Kagome had to lean on the siding of the door for support. She thought that her legs might give out at any second. 'Is...is that really, truly him?' She asked herself as she looked into those gentle emerald eyes that made her heart melt."Kagome..." He whispered. She choked back a sob. "Kurama..." She threw herself into his arms suddenly. "I missed you so much!" She cried into him. He hugged her tightly, shaking as he did so. "I never...I never thought that I'd ever get to see you again..." She hiccuped.
"It's alright, every things going to be okay." He promised her. "I'm here now." Kagome tightened her grip on his shirt, making it crumple. He didn't care in the least. He pushed Kagome back gently and smiled at her softly. She smiled a watery smile.
'He looks the same,' She thought, but quickly shook her head. 'Actually, his eyes...they look too mature for his age. He's probably seen so much death.' She hugged him again, smelling in his scent. Kurama put his chin on top of her head and stroked her hair comfortably. Kagome sighed in content.
"Kagome!" She suddenly heard from the house. She turned around in Kurama's embrace to see that her mother was looking around the court. Kagome smiled. "Over here, mama!" She called. Her mother's gaze went over to her, and then the man behind her. She gasped softly as her eyes widened. "Is that...Kurama?" She asked, her voice barely audible from shock. Kagome wiped the last of her tears away and nodded while smiling up at him. Kurama bent his head down to give her a quick peck on the lips. She giggled.
"Is he coming in for Dinner?" Her mother asked while leaning against the door. Kagome looked up again, to see that he was smiling softly at her mother. "I would love to." He told her. Her mother's eyes softened as she nodded. She waved them in to the house. "It seems that she remembers me quite well." Kurama whispered into her ear. Kagome smiled up at him and took his hand. "How could she forget some one like you?" She asked. Kurama looked down at her and smiled.
They all sat down at the dining table. Souta was looking at Kurama in a awed sort of way. "You went to war?" He asked for the third time. Kagome sighed and looked at her brother in an annoying fashion. Kurama just smiled at the boy. "Yes, for a four years." He announced. Souta gasped dramatically. "That's a long time!" Souta said, wide eyed. Kagome heard Kurama chuckle quietly. "Yes, it is."
After dinner Kagome yawned. Kurama looked at her in concern. "Are you alright?" He asked. Kagome blinked and smiled at him. "Yea, just tired from the Feu-" She stopped suddenly. He didn't know that she was traveling through time. She coughed. Kurama raised an eyebrow. "Tired from what?" He asked her. She shifted uneasily and looked to her mother for support. Her mother shook her head and sent her a look. "You're going to have to tell him sooner or later." Kagome nodded and took Kurama's hand and led him into her bedroom.
"You may want to sit down." She told him as she sat on her bed. He nodded and sat down, pulling her into his lap in the process. She took a deep breath. "This is going to be a long story." She warned him. He shrugged. "I have time." Kurama grinned at her. She tugged on a piece of his long, silky red hair. "Alright, well, it was my fifteenth birthday and my cat, Byou got stuck inside the Bone Eater's well," She stopped and looked at him. "The one in that shed? Remember?" At Kurama's nod, she continued.
"Well, Souta was too scared to go and get the cat, so I said that I would. I went inside of the shed, and got the cat out. But when I turned my back and started to walk out-" She took in a breath. "You might not believe this, but a centipede demon came from out of the well and grabbed me..." Kurama sucked in a breath. 'I can't believe that she knows about demons, I told her that Makai and Meikai were countries, not actual worlds.' He suddenly became worried as Kagome continued her tale. 'Would she love me anymore if she knew the truth? That I actually lied to her. Would she ever believe me again?' He was having an eternal battle with himself, making one silver fox spirit wake up. 'What's wrong, Kurama?' The fox asked sleepily. Kurama saw him blink a few times, trying to get rid of the world of sleep. Youko suddenly went rigid and stared at the black haired beauty in a thoughtful way. 'I've seen her before.' The fox told Kurama. Kurama mentally snorted. 'You were still asleep when Kagome and I parted. You wouldn't know her.' Kurama explained. Youko shook his head. 'I have seen her.' The fox repeated. Kurama's eyebrows furrowed. 'That's impossible.' He heard Youko chuckle as he put his arms around Kurama's stressed soul, giving it a gentle squeeze. 'Believe me, nothing is impossible.' His constant staring at Kagome began to grate on Kurama's nerves. Youko laughed and grinned at him cheekily. 'Now, don't tell me that you're jealous of yourself, Kurama.' Kurama coughed out loud, not knowing that Kagome was looking at him strangely.
'How could I not notice this before?' Kagome thought as she continued to stare at Kurama. 'It...it feels like...he has more than one soul.' Kagome shook her head. That couldn't be possible. No body could house more than one soul. Not that she's ever heard, anyways. She looked into his aura. Seeing that it was changing colors. Her eyes widened in confusion. First it was a light red color, then it turned a beautiful golden silver. She blinked. She was certain that she had never seen anything that ever looked like that before. Kagome moved so that she was sitting in front of Kurama. She noticed that his eyes were unfocused. She frowned in confusion. 'Hmm...I wonder...' She waved her hand in front of his face a couple of times. Kurama blinked and caught her hand, studying it like he'd never seen one before. He blinked again and looked at Kagome, to see that she was looking at him with a blank expression.
Kurama's breath caught in his throat. What was she thinking? She just kept on staring at him, like she was staring right through him. He felt Youko shudder in delight. 'Hmm...' Kurama blushed, a red sploch dotting across his nose. 'Yo-Youko! Stop!' Youko chuckled, whispering seductive things into his ear. Kurama made his hands turn into fists, feeling his blunt nails tear crescent markings into his skin. If Youko didn't stop showing him some...very creative images, he didn't know what to do. He certainly couldn't say something out loud, Kagome would think that he's crazy.
'Youko!' He yelled mentally. 'This is not helping with the situation at hand!' Youko sighed and crossed his arms, pouting that he couldn't have any more fun. Kurama sighed in relief. 'Thanks Youko.' He was responded with a 'Humph!'And almost chuckled, were it not for Kagome looking at him in the most...interesting way. "Kagome..." He said softly, amusement playing in his emerald eyes. "Is the something on my face?" He asked. Kagome blinked, then blushed prettily. "I'm sorry..." She muttered. Kurama laughed and put her in his lap again."It's quite alright." He told her. Kagome turned around in his embrace so that they were facing eye to eye. "Were you even listening, Kurama? About what happened in the Feudal era?" She asked. Kurama shook his head. "I'm sorry, I just got lost in thought is all." He told her. Kagome raised an eyebrow, making him chuckle. "Do you want to know what I said?" She asked him seriously. Kurama looked into her eyes and saw excitement playing in them. He smiled. "Yes, please tell."
Kagome grinned at him. "Okay, so I went down the well with Inuyasha. And we were walking towards Kaede's village when suddenly Inuyasha stopped. He told me to meet him at the village and then just took off. I was concerned for him-" Kurama narrowed his eyes. Kagome was oblivious to it. "-So, I followed him. I saw Him and Kikyou talking-" She started to sniffle, making Kurama's eye widened in horror. "-Well, they hugged..and um..-"Kagome blushed and mumbled something inaudible, even for his spectacular hearing. "-So, I ran and hid behind some boulders' at a near by hot spring. I didn't want to be any where near that stubborn dog. He went into the other direction that I was in, remind you, I was in the hot springs. Just when I thought that things couldn't get any worse. The water shifted and two very powerful demons came in to bathe." Kurama opened his mouth to interrupt, but with a quick glare from Kagome, made him quiet. "I over heard them talking, and I think that I've heard of them before. There names were Youko and Kuronue." She told him. Kurama's eyes widened . He could hear Youko's howling laughter ringing in his ears.
