Inuyasha's Good-Bye
Inuyasha was walking down the street. Trying to do some of the shopping for Kagome since she was almost out of food. Also, the fact that the young half-demon wanted some of his favourite ramen. Kagome though had told him again and again that he didn't need the stinking thing. But he didn't want to listen to her.
He wanted to eat what he wanted. After all, he was a half-demon. And with his demon blood helped prevent him from getting fat. And still be healthy at the same time. So nothing to worry about right? Right.
Inuyasha stared at the sky. Thinking of all the things that he's been through. The curse that the woman had placed on him all those years ago. To teach him a lesson. But now? He was thankful for that curse. Cause if he hadn't been cursed all those years ago, then he wouldn't have met Kagome... And he couldn't help but be thankful for that. Kagome meant the world to him. He loves her... 'Yeah... I love her... But she could never return those feelings. She's just too perfect. So pure... I'm not. I've killed. I had taken so many lives that it would be a sin just for her to be near me.'
Fixing the black wig that he had to put on, Inuyasha couldn't help but feel like his heart was breaking at the thought of losing Kagome. It was just so painful... It just hurts so much that... Inuyasha wasn't sure if he could handle the reality of losing her.
"Life is just unfair sometimes." The young half-demon said aloud.
Letting out a deep sigh, Inuyasha thought that maybe... it was time to let her go. That he should let Kagome go and allow her to be happy with a normal human. So long as it wasn't Kouga then Inuyasha could learn to let Kagome be happy with someone else. Sighing he walked into the store. But, for some reason Inuyasha felt like he was being watched. But ignored it. Maybe it was nothing. There was no way that he was being watched. Since he was living life as a normal human. For now anyway.
A he walked through the aisles of the store; Inuyasha couldn't help but think of when he first came to the store with Kagome. He was so worried about people trying to grab him. Or being cursed again. Though, now that he thinks about it, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He was worried over nothing. No one uses spells anymore. It's just not possible.
"Inuyasha calm down. No one is goanna try to curse you again." Kagome said as she held his hand. They were walking down the street to the store. Since Kagome hadn't been able to go shopping for a while. And they were starting to run out of food since Inuyasha had a problem when it came to modern food. He was like an addict when it came to the food of the modern world.
Yet it was just so adorable to see him like this. Was that wrong to think that while Inuyasha looked like an innocent lost puppy? Maybe not...
Looking at her, Inuyasha tried to muster up a dark scowl but that was hard for him when Kagome could see the slight fear in his golden orbs. Which made Kagome giggle. How much pride did Inuyasha have from her laughing at him? Not a hell of a lot... Sigh.
"It's not funny Kagome." Inuyasha scowled. Which made Kagome laugh some more.
"Oh Inuyasha, you have to learn to enjoy the small things in life. Laughing isn't that bad." Kagome said with a smile. And as she wiped a single tear from the corner of her eye. Inuyasha couldn't help but smile softly at her. That was a rare sight from Inuyasha. Something that you never see from him every day. And seeing that rare smile, it made Kagome blush a soft pink.
Inuyasha blinked at her. Not sure why she was blushing. It was something that Inuyasha never understood. But then again, he never understood women. Even as he lived for many years he never understood them. Was it normal for him? Maybe.
Yawning, Inuyasha walked in the store with Kagome. Though, he still held her hand. Not wanting to be far from her. Thinking that he would get lost. Sure, he could easily find her with her scent. But with the scents of many people here, he wasn't sure if he could find her as easily. Looking around, Inuyasha stared at some ramen and blinked in confusion. Was that ramen?
"Hell yes." Inuyasha muttered under his breath.
"What is it Inuyasha? You want the ramen?" She asked with a tilt of her head. Seeing his nod, Kagome smiled and grabbed a dozen of ramen for him. Though, knowing Inuyasha as well as she does then it should be finished in a few days.
Inuyasha smiled brightly. Like he was a child in a candy store. It was something that made Kagome smile back at him. Her brown eyes sparkled with joy. Glad that Inuyasha was happy. It was something that she's wanted for him for a while now. But when he had broken through his curse, well... It was hard for him to deal with it. Since he had been a dog for many years. And he was still getting used to being a hanyou again.
Just as they were about to walk. Inuyasha jerked his hand from Kagome's grip. He held his hand as steam surrounded his palm. There were some scorch marks on his palm. What was that? How did that happen? Kagome was a normal human wasn't she? What the hell? That didn't make any kind of sense. Blinking a few times though, Inuyasha thought he saw something glowing in Kagome's side. But just as quickly as he saw it. It had disappeared from his sight. What the hell was that about?
Maybe he was seeing things. That was the only other reason for it. Because... it couldn't have been what he thought it was. It had disappeared many years ago. A priestess had made sure that it had burned with her body.
Inuyasha had seen it with his own eyes. So, how could it have been possible for him to have seen the familiar glow in Kagome's side? Maybe he was just going crazy.
"You okay Inuyasha?" Asked a concerned Kagome.
Blinking a few times, Inuyasha nodded saying "yeah Kagome. I'm fine. It was just something I was thinking about from my past. And, how much everything had changed over the years. It was hard to believe." Kagome looked like she didn't believe him. But nodded, accepting that for his answer. It was the only thing that she could do. Inuyasha knew that Kagome may ask him about it later. But also had a feeling that she would respect his privacy and leave it at that.
Smiling, Kagome took his unburned hand and said "let's finish the shopping shall we Inuyasha? Cause the sooner we're done then the faster we can get out of here."
Letting out a deep sigh of relief, Inuyasha walked with Kagome through the store. Trying to get the rest of the shopping done. And so he could get the hell out of here. Though, the whole time, Inuyasha couldn't help but think about that strange glowing in Kagome's side.
Inuyasha stared at the ceiling of the store. He had just come out of his thoughts about his first trip to the store. Sure, he'll admit that he was still a little nervous about being the store. But not enough so for it to show in his expression. He had gotten used to it a bit more now.
At least it was better than nothing.
Sighing softly, Inuyasha was going through the list, making sure he got everything for the miso soup that Kagome was going to make tonight. Though, he wished that Kagome would make ramen. Even if they've had it almost every night this week. Yawning, Inuyasha managed to get everything. Though, he did grab a couple of extra things just for the hell of it.
"Inuyasha..." Whispered a strange voice. A voice that was so cold, that it gave Inuyasha the chills. Turning around he stared at a tall man with long curly brown hair. Cold blood red eyes and pale skin... And...
'Is this man wearing purple eye shadow?' Inuyasha thought with confusion.
Staring at the man with wide eyes. Inuyasha wondered what this man wanted with him. Just what the hell was wrong with him? Why did Inuyasha deal with this feeling? It was almost as if the young half-demon was facing all of his fears just by staring at this man. The thoughts of his curse coming back. The thought of having to leave Kagome. And, the thought of Kagome dying... Those were his main fears. Besides his demon half wants to kill her. That, was also something he feared.
Inuyasha took a few steps back. Wondering what this man wanted. And, why he looked so familiar to him. What was with that...? "Sir, what do you want?"
"A chance to chat with you Inuyasha."
Inuyasha nodded. But had to pay for his things first. He had things that he had to do. But, why did this guy frighten him so much?
Once everything was paid for, Inuyasha leaned against the wall in the alley way of the store. The man had said that they would chat here. And, of course Inuyasha was left waiting. Sighing softly, the young half-demon thought maybe that he should just leave. It was better than having to wait here for someone that may or may not show up.
Just when Inuyasha was about to leave, he saw the brown haired man standing there. Dark smirk and all. His black clothing almost made him seem invisible thanks to the darkness of the alley. Inuyasha sensed the evil within his heart. It was on the tip of his tongue on why he reminded him of someone in his past. But still, he couldn't remember.
"So, what did you want to talk about." Inuyasha said with demand. Whatever this man wanted, it had to be important. Why else talk to a total stranger. But, then again, this man knew his name. What was with that? Inuyasha didn't understand that.
"Now Inuyasha is that any way to treat someone who was like a father to you." The man said with a smirk.
Inuyasha's eyes were wide with fear and pain. No. This couldn't be him! It just couldn't be! He should have been dead after all of these years! He had killed him with his own claws. Then... how could this man be alive?
"You know you can't stay with her Inuyasha. Her powers are breaking free. After all, she is Kikyo's descendent." Said the man.
"Kagome may be Kikyo's descendent, but I don't care. Kagome is nothing but a pure innocent person. She wouldn't and couldn't harm a fly." Inuyasha said with a growl. Slashing his claws at the mysterious man. Only for him to disappear and reappear behind Inuyasha. His arm wrapped around Inuyasha's throat and used his other arm to keep the half-demon's arms down.
"Now listen here Inuyasha. That girl's powers had started awakening cause of you. When her heart was broken. She couldn't awaken them herself." Inuyasha growled. Was it his fault that he healed Kagome's broken heart? No. He did it because he wanted to help her. "Now, her powers could cause you great harm Inuyasha if she doesn't learn to use them."
"Shut up! I wouldn't be harmed that badly." Inuyasha growled through clenched teeth.
"Ah, but you see. Your demon blood won't allow that. Your human heart may accept her Inuyasha. But your demon blood has yet to see her. And accept her." He said with a smirk. Inuyasha could clearly hear the smile in his words. That was something that always made Inuyasha sick.
"If you don't want... oh let's say your demon blood to awaken again. Or, I having to kill her for that gem in her body then leave Inuyasha. Leave her and forget about her."
Inuyasha's eyes were wide with shock. No... He can't let that happen. He don't want his demon blood to awaken again, it could cause Kagome her life. That was something that he couldn't afford. His head fell forward as he whispered "alright... But, let me say good bye."
Kagome was humming softly as she waited for Inuyasha to get back from the store. There was nothing else to do. So, she had started to do the dishes. Today was the day. Today was going to be the day that she confesses to Inuyasha. She was going to give Inuyasha her heart. Taking a few deep breaths, Kagome tried to calm down her rapid hearts beating. Thinking about it, it made her heart pound.
She wondered what Inuyasha thought of her. Did he have feelings for her? Besides friendship? Did he love her as much as she loves him? Thinking about his expression made Kagome blush.
"Kagome, I love you with all my heart and soul." Said Inuyasha with eyes of liquid gold, which were filled with such a deep love for her, and her alone. Kagome smiled softly. Feeling his hand cup her cheek as he stared at her with soft eyes. Kagome stared at him. Wanting to say something. Anything. But her heart couldn't pick the words that it wanted to share.
"Shhh. Don't say anything K'gome. I know what you want to say." Inuyasha whispered to her softly.
Tears fell from her eyes. Tears of joy. Inuyasha leaned close to her. His hand on the back of her neck as he pulled her toward him. Kagome closed her eyes as she felt his lips pressed against hers. The kiss was as soft as she thought it would be.
Kagome was filled with warmth and contentment. She never knew that this would have ever happen in her whole life. To have found someone that loves her and who she loves like this. And to think, it all started just by finding a silver furred dog in the rain.
Kagome giggled at the thought of how it would happen in her head. That was how she hoped it happened when she confessed her feelings for the dog hanyou. That was something that she had always dreamed of.
Kagome giggled again as she finished the dishes. There was nothing more that she could have thought that could ruin this moment. Kagome turned and stared at the picture of her, Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku. It was the picture that the boss had taken while they were on their lunch break. Sure, Kagome thought that Inuyasha would have looked better if he didn't wear the wig or contacts.
But till people got used to him being a half-demon then it would be hard for that to happen if they knew that he was a half-demon the whole time. So, till then it would be hard for that to happen.
Once Kagome was done the dishes, she went to the living room to wait for Inuyasha. Now that she thinks of it. It was taking him a little longer then it should have. Was he okay? He wasn't getting in trouble was he? Sniffling, Kagome turned on the TV to check any of the news channels to make sure that Inuyasha was behaving himself.
Soon enough though, after watching every single show of the news casts. Kagome didn't see one trace of Inuyasha. This, to her was a good thing. Yawning softly, Kagome lied down on the couch and fell asleep. But her dream was anything but peaceful. It was filled with darkness and shadows.
She didn't understand this nightmare. What was this suppose to tell her?
"Where am I?" Kagome whispered softly to herself.
Looking around, Kagome had seen this place before. "No... This place can't be that..." This was the same place where Kagome had went too when Inuyasha was breaking from his curse. This was the nightmare that she had. Of Inuyasha turning into a demon. He had told her that was a possible future right? That he would turn into a demon in a way to protect her. But that couldn't be possible right? Inuyasha wouldn't leave her.
"This is Inuyasha's future." A woman's voice whispered softly.
Turning around, Kagome stared at a woman in red and white robes. Long black hair and brown eyes. And pale white skin. What was with that? Why did this woman look like her? What was the woman having the same face as her?
"Who are you?" Kagome asked with confusion.
The woman looked at Kagome with blank eyes. Looking at the darkness, the woman calmly said "my name is of no importance. You must face your destiny." Kagome was confused about that. Her destiny? What destiny?
Shaking her head, Kagome calmly asked "what do you mean? Tell me!"
The woman said nothing. There was nothing that the woman was stating that made sense. But, what the woman said next made her even more confused. "You must protect the Shikon." The woman said before her body disappeared. What was with that? What's the Shikon?
Before Kagome could get the answers that she wanted. She felt someone shake her shoulder softly. A soft velvety voice cut through the darkness. And soon enough, Kagome was pulled out of her dream.
Kagome's eyes slowly opened as she stared into a pair of golden eyes. Though, for some reason. The eyes that she's come to love were blank and void of all emotion. What was wrong with him? This didn't make any sense to the young woman. "Inuyasha you okay?" She asked softly.
Nodding softly, Inuyasha said in a mono tone voice. "I'm fine. Just got back. And, the food's been put away." Why did Inuyasha sound like this? What was wrong with him? When she reached out to place her hand on his cheek. Inuyasha moved away from her touch. That had hurt her. Like her touch repealed him. Was that what he thought?
"Inuyasha? You okay?" Asked Kagome with a strained voice. Like she was close to tears. Seeing Inuyasha just standing there, it made her think that she wasn't okay. What was wrong with him? "Inuyasha you're not okay! What's wrong?"
He just stared at her for a moment. When he saw her stand up and narrows her eyes at him. He walked close to her and wrapped his arms around her. This was the only way he could do this. "Kagome... I'd like to thank you for... for everything you've done for me." Kagome's eyes were wide. Why... why did it seem like he was saying good-bye?
"You've done so much for me. You've looked after me. Took care of me even though you've been afraid of dogs at the time." Inuyasha whispered. Wait, why did Kagome feel something drip on her shoulder? Looking up, Kagome was in shock seeing tears fall from Inuyasha's closed eyes. "Kagome, I have to leave now. You... you won't see me ever again. I want you to forget that you've ever met me."
"No! I won't ever forget you!" Kagome shouted. Her own tears falling down her face.
Inuyasha gave Kagome a sad smile. Wiping her tears away with his shaking fingers. There was something wrong with this. Inuyasha looked so emotionless. Yet, he was showing emotion through his body instead. "I have to leave. I don't belong here." Inuyasha whispered to her. Still trying to keep the emotions from being read in his words. Kagome shook her head. She had to think of something, anything to get him to stay.
"Kagome, I'm doing this for your safety."
"What are you talking about?" Asked Kagome with confusion.
Holding her close, Inuyasha whispered "I love you" into her ear before pressing the pressure point in her neck to knock her out. That was the last thing Kagome remembered. His words. Him confessing to her. Kagome woke up to the sound of Sango's voice and the next thing Kagome did. Was cry when she knew one thing.
Inuyasha was gone.
