Chapter 10: Fate of Love
Kagome comes to, fluttering her eyes open, her vision was blurry but it gets clearer. "Where am I?" She ask as she tries to sit up. "You're here at my house Kagome." Inuyasha said as he was trying help her up. "What happened to me?" She asks him. "I found you being carried by that Monkey demon. You were unconscious. I even found Naraku with him as well. He was the one who wanted you. I managed to save you from him doing anymore harm on you." Inuyasha as he soothes her cheek, where the cut was. Kagome puts her hand on his that was on her face. She looks into his golden eyes, "Thank you so much for saving me." She said as her tears fell on her cheek. Inuyasha wipes them carefully off her face. "Inuyasha…" Kagome said softly as she lays her head on his chest, "I love you, so much." All Inuyasha can do is warmly smile at her as he holds on tightly around her. "I love you too, Kagome. I really do." He confesses to her softly. He cups her chin to make her look at him. Kagome gives a warm smile to him, and they kiss with so much passion. She wraps her arms around his neck, while Inuyasha pulls her closer to deepen the kiss. A few seconds later, they pull apart and Kagome begins to cry into him. "Kagome what is it?" Inuyasha asks. "Inuyasha I don't want to marry to that creep. I just can't. I'd marry you instead." She weeps. Inuyasha widen his eyes, 'She wants me instead? Kagome, I promise that will happen.' He thought as he embraces her in his arms.
Little did they know, Inutaishou saw the whole, "He's just like me. Being so protective over his mate, well Kagome isn't his mate just yet." He walks down to the kitchen and finds Izayoi fixing up some dinner. "How are they?" She asks him. Inutaishou smilingly response, "They confess that they love each other. Kagome told him that she would marry him instead of Naraku." He said. Izayoi hugs him, "He's just like you, honey. Very protective of his love." Inutaishou hugs her back. "Yeah, he really does. But we have to wait until the wedding." He said. They have to have to stick with the plan, not let Kagome know any part of it. But it'd be as if Kagome is a little suspicious about it though.
Back in the room, Inuyasha releases her, "I bet your parents are worried about you." Kagome nods. "I'll take you home." He said as he and Kagome head downstairs. Inuyasha drives her back home, it was just quiet on the way there. When Inuyasha pulls up the driveway, two people are outside on the front door step. Kagome realizes that it was her parents, "Looks like I'm dead." She said sadly. "I don't think so, Kagome." Inuyasha assures her as they got out of the car. Kagome walks slowly to them, "Mom, dad, I know I'm in trouble. What's my punishment?" She asks waiting for the consequences. But instead her mother hugs her, "Kagome I'm so glad you're safe." She said hugging her. It surprised her. "But I don't understand. Dad what's going on?" Kagome asks him. Hige was up by Inuyasha instead. "Thank you so much for saving my daughter. Is there anything we can do in return?" Hige asks. Inuyasha leads them away from the girls.
On the other side, the guys stopped. "I know this maybe out of hand, but I would love to have your daughter's hand in marriage." He said. Hige smiles, "You can. I'm going to need your help though on the other marriage that she's going to be in." Inuyasha smirks, "My dad told me, and I'll gladly help you out." Inuyasha replies.
It's the eve of Kagome and Naraku's wedding. Kagome's birthday was two days ago. All she wanted was to be alone. She couldn't think straight. Inuyasha was concerned about her. Kagome was laying on a lawn chair ready a book, basically a romance novel. Inuyasha was on top of her roof, looking below to see her. 'I'll make sure that wedding is off. You deserve to be with someone better…me.' Kagome was getting ready for the rehersal dinner. She doesn't feel comfortable about this, but she had to deal with it. She was wearing a nice red dress with a diamond necklace her mother gave her when she was little. She put her hair in a low ponytail. "Kagome, it's time to go." Her mother informed her from downstairs. Kagome grabbed her purse and headed to leave with her family. Inuyasha's family weren't invited which was a disappointment to them. Inutaishou goes to him, "Inuyasha, be sure that Naraku doesn't do anything to her." Inuyasha nods quickly. Without another second Inuyasha follows the Higurashis' Jetta that was going to the country club where the dinner was being held.
The Higurashis arrive and Naraku was standing by the door, "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Higurashi. I'm so glad you came, especially you Kagome my dear." Naraku offers his hand to Kagome. Kagome hesitated at first, but takes his hand. Inuyasha hides in the bushes nearby, growling silently seeing how Naraku is doing to Kagome. A few minutes later, Naraku and Kagome is sitting a table in the middle of the room, so that everyone can see them. Kagome feels so depressed from the inside, but puts a fake smile to please Naraku. They finished their dinner, Kagome and Naraku stand tapping the glasses to get everyone's attention, "I want to thank you all for coming here tonight." Kagome started off. "And I want to be grateful to you everyone to attend our wedding tomorrow at 4 in the afternoon." Naraku finishing off their speech. Inuyasha close to the window of the room, and listening to everyone. He gets the determination in his eyes. He'll stop at nothing to save her from a guy who'll just make her life even worse.
