Previously on An unseen love:
"It's alright dear; I knew he was not meant to be your mate. I just had to wait for you to learn this on your own." She told Kagome while she stood up. Walking over she hugged her daughter while kissing her forehead. "Go bathe and get a good sleep. Your battle will be upon you soon."
Kagome nodded and headed up to her room. After bathing she laid in her bed falling to sleep right away.
On with the story:
Chapter: 6
The unseen being had arrived just in time to hear every word spoken between his intended and her mother. He knew she wasn't human and that she was different, but never knew that it could be this. He never knew a being like this could ever exist, he would think on this further as she slept while training her for the battle to come. It didn't bother him with what she was, and he was already in love with her before he found out how much power his little mate held so the power wasn't what he was after. He wanted her for her, like no other had ever wanted her before. The Hojo boy wanted to be with her for bragging rights amongst his friends, Inuyasha wanted her because she reminded him on Kikyo, and he was sure Sesshomaru would want her later for her power. He would keep her safe from them all.
Kagome tossed and turned for the first hour before sleep finally took her over. Standing in the middle of a field she waited for the one she already loved to show up to begin training. Soon she felt arms wrap around her from behind. She sighed as she leaned back into his chest. "I am sorry my love. I wish for you to know who I am already, but we must wait. Others can't know that I am the one training you; you must also keep your family secret. It will be known on your birthday, it is then you will finally see me for me." He told her as he inhaled her scent. "I know. I trust you. I will not tell anyone of anything." She told him as she turned in his arms, without further thought to what she was doing she leaned forward kissing him deeply. This was the first kiss they shared, and she was sure it was far from the last after all he was her soul mate.
As the kiss came to an end she swiped his feet from under him sending him to the ground. This began their training for the night in hand to hand combat. When the training came to an end he took her in his arms before leaning forward to whisper in her ear.
"I have a gift for you." He told her as he watched her eyes begin to sparkle with curiosity.
"Oh and what would the gift be?" She asked playfully.
"It is a courting gift. You are to keep it on you at all times." He told her with a smirk knowing it would mark her as taken.
Kagome looked up at him with a smile before kissing his cheek. "I wish I could give you something as well, but that will have to wait till we can be together." She told him with a wink.
He could feel himself grow hard at the thought of what she was implying. Pushing that thought away he willed his member to deflate before taking a step away from her. Snapping his fingers a sword appeared. It was the most beautiful sword she had ever seen. The blade was black with a green vine and blood red roses running down to the tip. The handle was black leather with a silver and blue ribbon. She looked closer to see there was writing along the blade in silver. 'To my beloved, may the Kamis always watch over you,' then a prayer of protection. Tears formed in Kagome's eyes as she looked up at him from the sword.
"It's so beautiful, I can't possibly take it." She told him as she tried to hand him back the sword.
"Kagome, my love it's yours. Please take it you will need it." He told her as he brought his hands around hers to wrap around the sword. "It is blessed by the Kamis only you and your mate can use it. It is also demonic so you will need to learn the attacks." He told her with a smirk.
Kagome looked the sword over in shock. "Alright I will keep it with me always." She told him before kissing him deeply.
Then a thought hit her, this was a dream how would she bring the sword into the real world? Before she could question him he looked at her questioning face as she looked at the sword. He couldn't help the chuckle that left him as he put a finger under her shin to make her look up at him.
"Just keep hold of the sword when you wake, and it will be in your hands in the morning." He told her as he took that moment to kiss her again. "Find Totosai have him make a sheath for it out of a branch from the god tree in this time." He told her before he began to fade away.
Kagome sighed as morning came quicker then she wished it would. When she woke she smiled as she noticed the sword in her hands held close to her body. She could still smell his scent on the sword it made her feel even closer to him. Without a moments hesitation she laid the sword on her bed with great care before running outside in her pajamas. Going to the shed she took out a saw before climbing the god tree to get to a branch that called out to her before cutting it and placing it in the well house.
When she was finished she walked back to her room to get ready for a shower before she would have to leave. Showered and dressed she headed to the kitchen for breakfast. Her mother already had everything packed. Smiling she wished her family a good morning, as she sat at the table her mother noticed the sword and gave her daughter a knowing smile.
Before she knew it she was kissing and hugging her family goodbye. When she came through the well Inuyasha was there waiting for her. Kagome smiled up at him before she made her request. "Inuyasha, can we go to Totosai's?" She asked as she pulled the god tree branch from the well. It was then he noticed the new sword at her hip. "Sure lets get that bunny thing of yours and go." He told her in a kind/loving voice. He took her bag and they headed to the village to Keade's hut. She smiled and greeted her friends and son Shippo. Giving Shippo a piece of candy she left her bag in the hut as she called Oreo over. She whispered to him before her, Oreo, and Inuyasha headed out.
He was down wind of her when a scent hit his nose. He smiled a knowing smile. He knew how it was that was protecting Kagome and gave her the sword. It only made him happier, as he thought of everything a wind attack hit Kagome sending her flying to the ground. The unseen being quickly eased her fall.
Kagura stood there ready to attack again. Kagome knew she could use her new sword on her, but also knew now wasn't the time for she had to keep her training a secret still. Doing what she would have many years ago she screamed out for Inuyasha as a attack headed straight for her. Inuyasha landed in front of her taking the full attack. Growling his eyes turned red as he looked at Kagura. "You will not harm my mother." He yelled out as he used his wind scare on her. Kagura was injured badly, but not killed. Before he could attack again she took off in the wind.
Kagura wasn't intending to kill Kagome just injure her. Naraku ordered her to kill the miko, but she had her own plans for freedom. With the way things played out Naraku would only punish her a little for failing. This was all she could hope for. She knew the miko was the key to finally killing him.
Kagome smiled as she walked over to the still red eyed hanyou. "Inuyasha, I'm alright please come back to me so I can check on your wounds." She asked in a motherly voice. Some how this made Inuyasha calm down and made his eyes go back to their golden color. Kagome sighed in relief as she watched his eyes. Soon she had his wounds bandaged. They weren't as bad as they looked and would be healed by the end of the night.
Hours later they arrived at Totsai's dwelling. Of course the old youkai took awhile to remember them before agreeing to make the sheath. Inuyasha knew the old man was only doing it for Kagome because of the scent on the sword, he also knew when the sheath was done there would be no scent of the one that gave it. They spent the night there, and by morning the sheath was finished. It was just as lovely as the sword it self. The sheath was black with a thorny vine twining around it with bright blood red roses, the ribbon to hold the sheath to her belt was silver and blue.
Tears formed in Kagome's eyes as she ran over hugging Totosai in a death grip. "It's perfect." She told him as Inuyasha pulled her off the old youkai almost afraid of Totosai's death buy hug. The unseen being nodded in approval as he looked over the sheath. When Kagome was pulled away from the now panting youkai he hugged her from behind as Inuyasha looked on with pity for the old sword maker.
