I hope you liked the last chapter. Sorry it took awhile to get it out. Anyway, Kagome is now a hanyou, and I'm kinda at a loss of what to do so bear with me. Ever had writers block? IT SUCKS! And thanks to everyone that has read my story and reviewed it. If it weren't for you guys (and girls) I probably wouldn't have bothered writing this far. With that in mind, here's the next chapter.
:::Chapter 10:::
Kanaye paced back and forth in his study, furious about not knowing the kinds of powers Kagome held. He glanced up at the woman sitting regally at his desk.
"Why didn't you tell me that Kagome also possessed powers such as yours, Mother?" He asked evenly, trying to keep the anger out of his voice.
Kikyo looked at her son and smiled. "I didn't think it matter. When I last saw her she was a weakling. The only reason she wasn't killed was because of those arrows of hers." She stood and walked over to the unlit fireplace. "My reincarnation must have been training though. And now she also has Inuyasha on her side." She turned to face her son. "Kanaye, you will kill Kagome next time. If you don't, I will be sorely disappointed."
Kanaye bowed his head. "Yes, Mother. I will not fail you again." He then turned and left the room.
Kikyo gazed out into the city of Tokyo. 'You will be mine once again, Inuyasha. Whether you want to or not.' A small, evil grin appeared on her face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A week after Kagome had become a hanyou everything was practically back to normal. Shippo and Sango had gone to work that morning and Miroku was working on the cover for a new book that Inuyasha was in the process of writing. Inuyasha had told him what the book would be about, so he worked from that.
He decided to take a break from wrting that day, so Inuyasha sat up in his favorite tree and thought about Kagome. He was turning a ring over in his fingers as he thought. 'I don't know what's keepin' me from asking her. I'm goin' to sooner or later and I just hope I get the courage to ask her sooner.'
He jumped down from the tree with a sigh and walked onto the house. Kagome was cooking dinner when he walked in through the back door.
Kagome turned around and smiled at him. "Hello, Inuyasha. Dinner will be ready in a few minutes."
Inuyasha smiled at Kagome, noticing that she was still in her hanyou form. "How come you haven't changed into your human form yet?" He asked, walking over to her and giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Kagome blushed and stirred the chicken in the pan. "I don't know. I guess I just like this new look." She shrugged and smiled at him.
Inuyasha sat down at the table. "Has Sango or Shippo come over yet?"
"I don't think they're off work yet. Why?" She asked sitting across from him.
"No reason. I just needed to talk to them." Inuyasha could almost feel the ring burning a hole in his pocket.
Kagome looked at him curiously. "Anything I can help you with?" She asked sweetly.
Inuyasha shook is head. "No, not really. It's not important." Inuyasha heard a sizzling noise and turned to the stove. "I think the rice is boiling over."
Kagome hurried over to the stove and turned the heat down. "I'm still trying to get the hang of cooking." She said with a small grin.
"I'm sure it will be great." Inuyasha stood up. "I'm going to talk to Miroku. Is he in the livingroom?"
"Last I saw, he was." Kagome said, stirring the sauce she was making.
"Okay then. Thanks." He walked out of the kitchen and into the livingroom to see Miroku concentrating on his drawing. "Hey, Miroku."
Miroku looked up at Inuyasha. "Hello. Need something?" He asked polietly, going back to drawing.
Inuyasha sat down next to Miroku, and sighed. "Actually, yeah. You wanna walk with me for a few minutes. This is kinda important." He said quietly, so Kagome wouldn't hear.
Miroku looked up from his work with a concerned expression. "Um, sure. One second." He put his work in a folder and put it in his briefcase and stood up, following Inuyasha out the front door. "Why did you want to go for a walk?"
"I don't want Kagome to hear just yet." Inuyasha said, walking next to Miroku, looking straight ahead.
"Oh. So what did you want to talk about?" Miroku asked curiously.
Inuyasha looked at Miroku and pulled the ring out of his pocket, twirling it around his fingers again. "I want to ask Kagome to marry me, but, I can't seem to get up the nerve to ask her." Inuyasha said quietly, staring at the ring.
Miroku grinned. "Well, I guess you went to the right person. I did take forever to actually ask Sango to marry me. I was so surprised when she said yes that I nearly keeled over on the spot." Miroku smiled at the memory.
Inuyasha hit him in the arm. "That's not exactly helpful." He said with a growl.
"Fine. What do you need help with? It's not like I can hold your hand while you ask her." Miroku said, gaining another growl from Inuyasha.
"How did you finally get the nerve to ask Sango?" Inuyasha questioned, looking down at the ring in his hand.
Miroku shrugged. "I guess I didn't want to lose her because of my hentai-ness, so I asked her right after she hit me one day." He smiled at the memory.
"That makes no sense, but sure, why not." Inuyasha said. He looked down at the sidewalk and said, "I guess I should just ask her outright. But I'm to much of a damn coward."
As Miroku was about to comment on that, they both stopped.
"Kanaye. He's near the shrine!" Inuyasha took off at an alarming rate, Miroku at his heels.
Kagome was setting the table as a disgusting scent reached her nose. "Ugh! What is that?!" She exclaimed.
As soon as that sentence was out of her mouth, the back down crashed open, pieces of wood flying across the room.
Kanaye walked in around glared at Kagome. "Where's Kagme? If you answer me you might live." He said arrogantly.
Kagome set the plates on the table and glared at Kanaye. "I'm right here. What do you want?" She said contemptuously, looking at the wrecked door.
Kanaye continued to glare at Kagome. "Shit! Now you're a hanyou?! Mother will hear about this!." He made to rip her apart, but Kagome threw the plates at him, hitting him in the head.
"Dammit! That hurt! Now you will die slowly." Kanaye growled, flipping the table over to get to Kagome easier. Kagome ran past Kanaye and out the back door, leading him outside to avoid futher damage to her house.
Kanaye caught up to her as she stood in front of the Sacred Tree. "If you want me, come and get me." She said as she spread out her arms and began chanting under her breath.
"Gladly." Kanaye said and charged at her. He stopped about 5 feet in front of her, feeling waves of powerful energy wash over him. The feeling was like thousands of knives piercing his skin. Ignoring the pain, he jumped at Kagome.
Kagome screamed as she felt her side being ripped open. Before she went down, she sent a ball of ennergy at Kanaye, hitting him right through his stomach.
Kanaye looked down at his stomach to see a huge hole in it. That was his queue to run, which he did, as fast as he could with a hole in his stomach.
Inuyasha had ran into the house and to the kitchen where he saw the upturned table and shattered dishes. He heard a scream from the back yard and ran as fast as his legs could to where Kagome was. Kanaye had disappeared and kagome was lying in a pool of her own blood, nearly unconscious.
Inuyasha ran to her side and carefully pulled her into his arms. "Kagome." He said quietly, brushing the hair from her face. He quickly pulled off his shirt and pressed it against Kagome's wound.
Kagome cried out in pain, clutching Inuyasha's shoulder tightly. Inuyasha tried to control the anger in his voice as he spoke. "It's alright Kagome. Everything will be fine." He looked up at Miroku staring down the blood soaked shirt against Kagome's side.
"Easy.for you.to say." She gasped again as she tried to move. "You. don't have a.huge gash.in your side." Kagome gritted her teeth, feeling as though her side was on fire. She suddenly remembered what Kanaye had said. Looking up at Inuyasha, she said. "Kanaye said.that his.mother.would hear about me.being a hanyou." She took a deep breath as Inuyasha wiped her tears that came unnoticed away. "Kikyo is.alive."
Inuyasha looked stunned for a moment but quickly shook his head. "That's not possible. I saw her die." He said forcefully. 'She can't be alive. Kanaye even said that he wanted to kill Kagome for murdering both of his parents.'
Miroku looked at the two then walked away. He didn't think they needed another person around when they spoke of this. He went inside to call Sango to tell her what had happened.
Inuyasha gently picked Kagome up in his arms and made his way into the house. Miroku had just gotten off the phone with Sango when they came in, Kagome was unconscious because the pain had become too much to bear.
"Sango is on her way over. She wants to make sure that Kagome will be alright." Miroku said as he followed Inuyasha upstairs to Kagome's room.
Inuyasha laid Kagome carefully on her bed and turned to Miroku. "I'm going to stay with her. Could you get me some stuff to clean out her wound?"
Miroku nodded and turned to leave, but stopped at the door. "Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha looked at Miroku. "What?"
Miroku turned around and looked at Kagome. "If Kikyo is still alive,"
"Then she won't be for long." Inuyasha stated, surprising Miroku by the harshness in his voice.
Miroku nodded and left. 'So it really is over betwwen them.' Miroku thought, still unaware of what when on between Kagome and Inuyasha that night four hundred years ago.
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome and brushed the hair from her face. "Kikyo won't be able to separate us again, love. I promise."
Kagome sighed in her sleep, causing Inuyasha to smile slightly. His smile disappeared, though, when he glanced at her side. 'Kanaye and Kikyo will both pay. I will show them no mercy as they have shown Kagome none.' He silently vowed and sat next to Kagome, placing a light kiss on her brow.
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
I know the ending was corny, but once again, writers block SUCKS!! And I'm sorry this took so long to get out. My computer sucks as well.
One last note, to answer Jamfase's question. Its complicated. The rest of the group they had to live through the past to get to Kagome's time. When Kagome came back to the present, they all knew eachother still, but the others weren't sure if Kagome would remember them or not so they hid out for the two years. If you understand that, you are amazing because I just lost myself. Well, I tried. (:shrugs:) R+R please!
