A/N: Hey there people. It's time for an update. I've had the flu for the
past week or so and I felt this a good time to catch up on my fics. So here
you go a new chapter of 'A Miko's Memories'
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, *insert witty disclaimer statement here*
************************************************************** *Last Time* Kagome's eyes had begun to overflow with tears which cascaded down her face. Out of no where she jumped on Ryu engulfing him in a huge tight hug. "Oh Ryu," she cried out. Ryu wrapped his arms around her waist and began to stroke her hair as Kagome cried into his chest.
"Shhhh, I'm right her Kagome. I'll always be here."
**************************************************************
Kagome's sobs had toiled down to an occasional whimper, still safely in Ryu arms.
"Ryu are you really..." she asked once again
"You've asked that over 10 times Kagome, how many times must I have to say yes before it's true in your head."
"Once More," she squeaked and put on a small pout. Ryu sighed, knowing he could not resist her pout.
"Alright my love, yes, I'm willing to abandon all my demonic power for you. Even if you say that you love me the way I am, we can never be accepted by the world unless I change, and no there is nothing you can say or do to stop me," Ryu replied smugly. Kagome finally cracked a small smile.
"If that is what you wish in your heart of hearts, then I will bring the jewel from where it is kept and bring it to you, at the tree. You remember the place we first met."
"How could I forgot, that could have possibly been the second best day of my life."
"Second best day, what's the first day?" Kagome questioned.
"The day you say yes," Ryu said innocently.
"Too?" Ryu clutched her tightly and kissed her on the forehead, then released her into his lap and put his hand in his sleeve. He pulled out to beautiful wooden hair pieces, and held them out in front of Kagome.
"These are for you Kagome. I've been carving them for a while now. I finished them last night."
Kagome gasped, and put her hands on him, "They're so beautiful, but what on earth did I do to deserve them?"
"Well, it was more something I did first. You see, I fell in love with you and started carving them. Not in my wildest dreams did I expect that my love would be returned. To answer your question, you returned my love Kagome. Now I have a question for you my dearest." Ryu whispered huskily in her ear.
"What on earth could you wish to know?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Will you do me the biggest honor in the world? Will you become my mate, or in human terms, will you marry me"
Kagome was stunned for a second and once more tears sprung to her eyes, "I, Kagome Higurashi, keeper and protector of the Shikon no Tama, miko of the Hiyuri village, accept your offer to become your wife or mate or whatever," she paused and flung herself at him, "Because I love you."
All the while Miroku and Inuyasha watched in amazement as the couple embraced.
"No way in hell, did that just happen," Inuyasha some how managed to say. He shook his head, as if to shake away what he had seen.
"I am also shocked Inuyasha, I just can't believe that Lady Kagome is to be married, to some one. Some one that isn't you might I add." Miroku stressed painfully to his shocked friend. He smirked seeing the blush that had creeped up on his cheeks.
"W-w-who e-ever s-s-said that w-we w-were going to.to.m-m-m-m-m...."
"Mate?" Miroku suggested. If it was possible, Inuyasha blushed harder, 'Besides, I love Kikyo, right?'
"Inuyasha, look their leaving. Let's go and see what happens next."
"Right," and with that they left to follow the two.
Kagome and Ryu walked hand-in-hand through the forest. "So Ryu, it's agreed that tomorrow we will meet at the place we meet a year ago."
Ryu nodded as they came to the edge of the village, "Now are you sure that it's okay for you to use the jewel like this. I don't want you to be hurt."
"No one knows of the jewel, other than you, I and my little brother Souta, though I quite doubt he will have any protests of you becoming part of the family." Ryu chuckled in recognition of the young boy worship of him.
"Well good night then Kagome."
"Goodnight," she said tenderly, and turned to walk away, not yet letting his hand go. Ryu snapped her back, and held her to his chest.
"What, no goodnights kiss?" He whispered into her hair.
"Is that what you want now? You're such a selfish little puppy, but you're my selfish puppy." Kagome stood on her tiptoes and lightly brushed her lips against his, and ran a few feet away.
She turned around and blew him a kiss and winked, "Don't forget, tomorrow, by our tree."
Ryu's mouth rose into a wide grin that allowed his fangs to peek through, "Tomorrow it is my Kagome, our eternal promise is marked," and he began to walk away into the forest. Kagome giggled girlishly, and ran into her hut to tell her brother the news.
Now Inuyasha and Miroku had also watched this tender moment and, let me tell you something, the expression on Inuyasha's face was priceless.
"What..the..hell..was..that?!" he said through his rage. Miroku patted his friend on the back.
He couldn't help feel a bit of pity for him. If he were watching Sango kiss another man, he probably would have opened his air rip and allowed himself to be sucked in, but there was only one thing he could tell Inuyasha, "That, as much as it pains me to say, is true love Inuyasha.
Inuyasha's eyes widened and he looked down dejectedly. Kagome had picked someone else, that wasn't him, or Kouga, or even that Hobo guy that she had mentioned one or twice, and didn't show any remorse for doing such. His heart hurt so much it was about to burst. 'So this is how Kagome felt when I picked Kikyo. Every time I ran to Kikyo, this is the pain I caused her. How can I ever forgive myself, how can she forgive me every time?'
Miroku looked to his friend, a gloomy look plastered on his face, and sighed. "Inuyasha, you must realize that their happiness will more than likely be short lived. Before we were transported into this memory, Lady Kagome was crying. Something terrible will happen, and when we leave this memory, she will remember what she had forgotten. She will need a shoulder to cry on, Inuyasha. You must be that shoulder, no matter how much you hate it. Even if she still loves him, if you truly care for her, as a friend or as something more, you must help her through this hard time."
Inuyasha nodded and knew he had to face the facts, Kagome had been there for him when he needed her, it would soon be his turn to be there for her.
************************************************************** A/N: Hey there people. I finally got the chance to write this chapter. I do have a problem though. I don't know what to do with Ryu. I mean I know what the story line for the next few chapter and have come out of my writers block 'slum' but I'm not sure if I should make this Ryu/Kagome(past) Ryu/Kagome(present) or Inuyasha/Kagome(present) or if I should make it a love triangle. I'm working on the other chapters so they should be up pretty soon.
