CHAPTER TEN: "Life Has Its Purpose"

Inuyasha said nothing to the solemn girl in front of him. Kimi looked down and she felt Inuyasha's eyes drilling into her. "Could your father be the reincarnation of Naraku?" ask Inuyasha after a long while. Kimi sighed, "I've never met my father. My mom and him divorced long before I was born. And after she died, their wasn't a way for me to find out where he was living." Inuyasha also looked down, "But it's a possibility?" Kimi paused, "Yes." Inuyasha clenched his fists together and let out a small growl. Kimi looked up at him, "Do you hate me now?" Inuyasha looked at her in shock, "Of course I don't." He pulled her close to him and stroked her back, "I could never hate you." Kimi gripped onto him and closed her eyes, "Inuyasha… I'm saying this as Kimi… I love you and if my father is the reincarnation or Naraku, I won't let it tear us apart." Inuyasha kissed her head and continued to stroke her, "Kimi… I love you too. And I'll be damned if I lose you like I did in your past lives." They stared into each other's eyes and they knew they wouldn't be torn apart.

Sesshomaru turned down the amber hall and his two brides peered from behind a large oak door. "What do you think Jacken told him?" asked Sakura to Ankoku quietly. Ankoku shrugged and pointed down the hall to the whistling Jacken. "Hey, Jacken…" started Ankoku stepping in front of him. "We were wondering…" Sakura said going behind him, "What you were talking about with Sesshomaru." Jacken felt that he was trapped and nervously began to look around. "Well?" urged Ankoku going closer to him. Jacken stuttered, "N-nothing my l-ladies! Nothing at all!" Sakura gave a devilish grin and leaned into Jacken, "Are you nervous talking to us, Jacken?" Ankoku playfully pouted, "You don't trust us?" Jacken backed up into the wall, "No, my ladies. I would never-" The girls came at him and he screamed as they held him up in the air by the collar. "Jacken…" said the girls in unison with a serious and intimidating grin, "Tell us what you told Sesshomaru." Jacken gulped and told them everything.

"Inuyasha…" whispered Kimi to the hanyou beside her. Inuyasha was fast asleep and Kimi was trying to wake him up. He had obviously spent the night at her place. Inuyasha grunted when she tried to shake him to get up. "Inuyasha… get up!" she whispered once more. She crossed her arms when he just turned over. She huffed and left the room as Inuyasha lazily started to drift back to sleep. He sat up abruptly when Kimi came back banging a pot, "GET UP, INUYASHA!" Inuyasha covered his head in his pillow and Kimi sighed. She threw aside the pot and sat on the edge of the bed. She watched as Inuyasha put the pillow back under his head and she shook her head in amazement, "You are so stubborn."

Inuyasha seemed to grin in his sleep and she crawled up the bed and sat down beside him. She placed a small kiss on Inuyasha's lips and he was suddenly wide-awake. He grinned as he deepened the kiss and rolled over on top of her. "Inuyasha!" Kimi giggled at the hanyou. Inuyasha smiled and Kimi pushed him off her, "Get up!" Inuyasha groaned and reluctantly got up. The heard the front door to Kimi's apartment open. "Hey, Kimi! You home?" they heard Setsuko yell. Setsuko made her way to Kimi's room and stared at them. She smirked slightly and left the room. Kimi looked over at Inuyasha and left to talk to Setsuko.

Setsuko was taking a bite from an apple when Kimi walked in. Setsuko gave a small laugh, "Is that Inuyasha's shirt?" Kimi blushed and sat down at the table. "You don't have to say anything," said Setsuko as she took a seat beside Kimi. Kimi smiled gratefully and Inuyasha walked in. "You hungry, Inuyasha?" asked Kimi turning to him. "Yeah. Let's go out for breakfast. I'll buy. You can come too Setsuko," replied Inuyasha with a yawn. Setsuko got up and grabbed her purse from the couch, "No thanks. Makoto asked me over for breakfast." Kimi got up to walk her to the door, "Makoto? And what exactly is going on between the two of you?" Setsuko laughed, "That, my friend, is a story for another time. I'll see ya'll later. Take care of this girl, Inuyasha!" Kimi said good-bye and shut the door. She turned to Inuyasha, "I'm going to take a shower and get dressed." Inuyasha smirked and Kimi rolled her eyes, "Alone!"

Kimi and Inuyasha were sitting in a small booth in a restaurant and laughing. Kimi stopped and started humming to the song playing. Inuyasha looked at her in amusement. Kimi smiled and started to sing, "Hold me. Whatever lies beyond this morning, is a little later on. Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all. Nothings like before." Inuyasha watched her and Kimi laughed in embarrassment, "I don't sing very well. Sorry you had to hear me." Inuyasha looked at her and smiled, "I think you have a great singing voice. What are you talking about?"

Kimi gave a faint smile and then gave a serious expression, "Do you think that… Naraku might have planned this? Kagome and Kikyou's deaths… me being reincarnated as his descendant... Who was it that… shot me, I mean Kagome?" Inuyasha sighed, "Kagura had gotten a hold of a bow and an arrow and before she died… she got you." Kimi thought back, "That's right… we were still standing in the battle field when… it happened."

The two brides dropped Jacken roughly to the ground and looked at each other in wonder. "Who the hell is Naraku?" they asked together. "Someone you wouldn't know about if you weren't such trouble-makers," came Sesshomaru's voice behind them. The girls froze in fear and turned slowly around to face Sesshomaru. He lifted one of his eyebrows and they gave a weary grin. Jacken took this opportunity to slip away in the shadows.

Whoo! So I got up all 10 of the pages I wrote YEARS ago! Yay!

Now I just have to update. Haha.

So yeah, but I don't update unless I get at least ONE comment-thing.

I hate working and then not having my work acknowledged.
