And now for the story.
After the three days were up, Inuyasha felt like his old self. Kikiyo noticed this when he would disappear for hours on end and not even return till dinner. After a few weeks she decided that she would ask him tonight. This reminded her of the date of the ball. Kikiyo calmly placed her chop-sticks down and said, "Lady Kagome?"
"Kikiyo…what is it?" Kagome responded as she also placed her chop-sticks down.
"Well the date has been moved up to this coming full moon since Inuyasha would like to wed before we leave." Kikiyo stated as she took hold of Inuyasha hand.
"But that's five days from now." Sango replied
"Whatever, uh Sango you'll dance with Miroku, Inuyasha with Kikiyo and my uncle with Kagura. I escort my self. Now if you'll excuse me." Kagome said as she stood and left the table.
"Sango, may you please go and speak with The Lord Marshal about these arrangements." Kikiyo requested.
"I'll go with you Sango." Miroku said before Sango could reply.
"I need to speak with Rin anyway." She hissed
Once the room was empty Kikiyo moved her hand from Inuyasha's hold and turned. He was confused and she knew that he knew she was mad. Kikiyo took a deep breath and said, "Inuyasha…what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing is wrong with me way?" was Inuyasha's answer
"Are you sure? Inuyasha I hardly see any more and when I do it has to do with the lords business. Do you still love me?" Kikiyo spoke softly
"Kikiyo! I will always love you! I've just been busy with Miroku and Sango. Come no I'll show you where I've been." Inuyasha said as he stood up.
"I don't want to go…I want to stay here with you.' She said.
"Fine…let's go to my room and we'll take a nap." Inuyasha said as his voice turned softer.
"I love you!" Kikiyo said as she stood up. 'Ha, like I would mate you. My lord will take me with him within five days.' she thought.
While Kikiyo and Inuyasha went in their way Kagome, Sango, Miroku, the Lord Marshal, Sesshoumaru and Rin were all in the throne room. Kagome looked down and then looked over at Sesshoumaru. She let out a long sight before saying, "I'm calling it off. He just doesn't remember so I guess we really weren't in love."
"I see…have you at least tried to remind him." Sesshoumaru asked
"She hasn't, Sesshoumaru let me and Miroku speak with him. I'm srue we can make him remember." Sango said.
"NO…"Rin spoke quietly, "If he can't even remember her, the one he promised himself to then he does not deserve her." Rin said the last bit louder.
"Kagome…what do you whish to do?" The Lord Marshal asked.
"Uh, if I can not find a suitable King at the ball then I shall rule alone." was her answer.
"Very well the, is that all?" Sesshoumaru asked
"Yes, oh and I would like to leave before Inuyasha and Kikiyo's mating. Sango and Miroku will wait for them." Kagome requested
"Very well, Lord Marshal may you please go and chose the finest guards for the ball." Rin said
"Yes my lady." He replied
Kagome had walked out and went off on her own little world. She had told Sango that she wasn't eating tonight but no to worry. As she pasted the castle wall she spotted her favorite spot to sit when watching the ocean. It was a huge rock with a flat surface to sit on. 'I'm truly meant to be alone.' were Kagome's only thoughts as she stared of at the sunset.
Mean while Kikiyo lay on Inuyasha's bed, Kikiyo was resting her head on his shoulder. To only one's eyes Inuyasha looked at peace and as if he was in a wonderful dream. However that was not the case. Inuyasha saw his younger self at the eastern lands. How'd he know it was east he had no idea. But before he could do anything he heard a voice say, "Thank you for coming Lady Izayoi."
Inuyasha looked up and saw his mother standing in front of women who seem to be the queen. Instantly he bowed his head in respect only to get his ears rubbed. That was when he heard his mother ask, "The Lord Marshal sends his regards. How is your daughter?"
"Uh, she won't get down from the god tree. And who is this?" the women answered as she looked over to Inuyasha
"This is my son Inuyasha, he is just like Kagome. Inuyasha would you pleas find a small hanyou girl. She's up a tree in the garden." Lady Izayoi said
"The garden is behind you and make a left." The women added
"Mommy?" the boy said
"Don't worry Inuyasha, just follow my scent." Lady Izayoi said
Inuyasha saw his former self run down the halls and into the garden. He saw himself jump tree from tree until he found a huge one. That tree held the girls scent strongest. After taking a deep breath he said, "Hey girl, get down here!"
"No, Go away!" she yelled
"Your mother wants you." He tried again
"No!" was heard
"Stupid girl!" the little boy yelled before jumping high into the air. He landed on the branch just below her and said, "Are you stuck?"
"Hey your just like me." The girl said
"Why you up here?" he asked.
"My daddy's gone and now my mommy wants me to be more princess like."
"I like your hair." The boy said with a blush to try to make her feel better.
"Thanks, I'm Kagome."
"I'm Inuyasha, so you want to play a game?"
"Yeah!"
Inuyasha continued to see himself. The games and the girl were always their. Then it jumped to one scene where he was holding on to the girl for dear life and she was crying and his mother had a weak smile.
"No!" he watched himself yell out, "Mommy can't she come with us? She's my friend and I love her!" he yelled
"Mommy" the girl began, "Please, no one likes me here! I want to be with Inuyasha!" she yelled
Both women looked at each other then smiled. Lady Izayoi took the young girl in her arms while the girls' mother took the small boy in hers. Both hugged the two before lady Izayoi spoke, "Kagome if you truly love my son offer him blood. Blood of which is your."
"And if you truly love my daughter take her blood and offer her yours. And by doing so you two shall be betrothed." Lady Higarashi said.
"And if so then you shall wed once you both meet again." Both mothers ended at the same time.
"Inuyasha watched as the girl took out a dagger and cut her flesh. She handed over her bleeding arm and he took it. The young boy drank the girls' blood. He used her weapon and did the same. Before they left they said good-bye but not for long.
Kagome opened her eyes and looked around her. She had fallen asleep in their little hiding place. She looked around and saw that she was surrounded by the stupid leeches from before. She took out her fan and killed them off. She quickly left not wanting to leave it dangerous for Sango or Miroku.
Kagome walked over to her favorite rock and watch the sunset. Just as she was about to lay down she let out a long sigh and said, "I know you're their just show your self Sesshoumaru."
As if on cue the tall Lord of the western lands walked out of the shadows and stood by her. He bowed and stared off into the same sunset she saw before saying, "Your uncle whishes for you to eat. As do I, if you'll like we have moved your room next to Sango's." he explained.
"Thank you…where is Lady Rin?" Kagome asked as she stood up
"She is waiting for us at the gate. Shall we go then?" he replied
"Thank you…I'm sorry to be a pain." Kagome said
"Trust me you are not a torn but the mare opposite. Now let us go before Rin comes looking for us." Sesshoumaru said
Kagome merely nodded and took off. Once they met up with Rin all three of them walked to meet Sango, Miroku, her uncle and Kagura for dinner. On their way there however Inuyasha and Kikiyo joined them. Kagome however sped up her pace and was the first to arrive. She sat by Sango and Rin and did not speak. The silence in the dinner table was soon stopped when Kagura asked, "So have you set a date?"
"No, Inuyasha and I were going to set one at noon however we fell asleep." was Kikiyo's answer.
"I think we should o it a week after the ball. That way you will have time to pack before your trip." Kagura stated.
"Kikiyo…come with me, I whish to speak with you." Kagome hissed as she stood up
"Yes, of course my lady." Kikiyo said as she and Inuyasha stood up.
"Alone, Sango Miroku I'll need to speak with you both after words." Kagome said coldly
"I'll be fine…just finish your meal." Kikiyo said before walking out alone.
Kikiyo walked out only to be thrown to the ground. She stood up and saw her cousin. She was in her true miko/demon from. She had a blue strip of hair that stood out in her night black hair. Her eyes we a hazel color that stood out as well.
"You bitch!" Kikiyo yelled as she stood up. She knew no one could hear them because of her cousins' barrier.
"yes I am a girl dog, but I would like to know who's scent is all over you. And don't say Inuyasha because there is a different scent on you." Kagome hissed.
"So you caught me. Like he would believe you I've missed up his blasted memories. Now let me go or I swear to god I will kill him at the ball." Kikiyo hissed back.
"I will kill you if you do such a thing. Now go back to them and say I've gone to my old room." Kagome ordered
"Oh, and another thing, give me the jewel your mother gave you. Where is it?" Kikiyo bit out coldly.
"I ate it while I was running from the wolves. Now leave me be." Was her simple answer before she took off.
After Kikiyo walked in and informed Sango and Miroku where they would find Kagome she took her seat next to Inuyasha and continued her meal. 'My lord will not like this. But at least he'll enjoy ripping it out of her.' she thought evilly. Mean while Sango and Miroku walked into find Kagome seating at the edge of the balcony rail crying silently.
"Kagome?" Sango asked.
"Kagome what did she do?" Miroku asked
"Nothing but a hurtful threat…I'm leaving right after the ball. I can get the army to help take back my kingdom and I'll meet you there." She said as she wiped away the tears.
"Kagome what she tell you?" Sango asked
"And why did you pull her out." Miroku added.
"Uh, nothing, just please leave me…I want to be alone." Sango I'm sorry but I just can't, I have to think." Kagome spoke softly
"We understand…just please call me or come and get me if you need anything." Sango said
"I will don't worry." was her sad reply.
After Sango and Miroku left the room she slowly walked over to her bed and curled up into a ball. She placed her self in a barrier and cried herself to sleep knowing full well that Kikiyo had won. She had managed to take her parents away and now she was taking away the only person she'd ever love. She just had to let it all out.
