CH: 14 Bonds
Kagome was about to jump into the well.
"So you finally understand you don't belong here" Kikyo sighed.
Kagome looked over her shoulder "You won't have to worry about me… I get it.
Kikyo gave her a dirty look "You're a fool if you leave"
Kagome was confused she got off the well "I thought you wanted me to leave"
Kikyo smiled "I do trust me" Kikyo frowned "Fate is against me and Inuyasha". Kikyo paused "As much as it brings much joy to me you leaving …It's not the best choice."
"for who?" Kagome asked
"For Inuyasha of course" Kikyo stated "My time here is done. I am to take the Shikon Jewel once and for all." Kagome stayed quiet "Inuyasha and I could never be, I'm willing to stay away for his own sake"
"Kikyo" Kagome was on the verge of crying.
"I love him" Kikyo said "If you won't do it for me do it for him" Kikyo smiled.
Miroku was getting water with Kagura. "Hey Miroku where is Kohaku?" Inuyasha asked.
"He's in the woods picking up wood with Rin why? Miroku answered and asked.
"I need him that's all" Inuyasha left them.
"What was that about?" Miroku ask.
"Could it be about the Shikon Jewel" Kagura thought.
"I think that should be enough" Kohaku stated out loud.
Rin nodded "Alright let us head back to the others.
Inuyasha came out of nowhere.
Kohaku stood in front of Rin "Inuyasha you scared us"
"Sorry about that" Inuyasha apologized.
"I need you to come with me. Rin do you think you can carry the wood back to the village" Inuyasha asked.
"Sure" Rin took the wood away from Kohaku.
"Thanks Rin" Kohaku touched her shoulder. Rin blushed and left quickly.
"Where are we going Inuyasha?" Kohaku asked "To the well Kikyo asked to take you there"
"I see" Kohaku nodded.
"Sesshomaru can you put me down" Sango asked.
Sesshomaru stopped and did what was asked "What is the matter?"
"Nothing I want to be alone for a while" Sango stated "Go on ahead I'll go soon"
Sesshomaru heisted but didn't fight her about it.
Sango gave a long sigh and was deep in thought .Sango thought about her life and how everything changed drastically. First her village is killed then she's the mate of the Lord of the West."
"Is this for real" Sango grabbed her head. Sango felt uneasy and dizzy. She was going to fall. She had no energy to help herself.
"Careful" He grabbed her arm and pulled her close to him.
"Miroku what are you doing?" Sango asked dazed.
Miroku let her go "You were going to fall I was merely helping you from having an accident.
"Thanks" Sango was heading towards the village.
"Sango wait" Miroku called out to her. Sango stopped "what is it?" Sango questioned.
"May I have a word with you" Miroku asked.
Sango looked around and nodded.
"I'm truly sorry."Miroku stated. Sango was surprised.
"I'm sorry for a lot of things. Giving you false hopes you deserved better than me." "I hope Sesshomaru knows how lucky he is" Miroku added
"If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be with him. So I have you to thank." Sango added.
"I still want us to be friends. Ever since well you know things have been tense between us. I know I'm asking a lot but will you consider?"Miroku asked.
"Yes we can be friends. I hold no grudge against you."Sango smiled.
Miroku extended his arm. Sango took it and shook it.
"So I hear you're pregnant" Miroku stated. "Yes I am three pups" Sango blushed.
"I'm really happy for you Sango" Miroku stated as he left.
Once Miroku was out of sight Sango sighed "You can come out now"
"How did you know" Sesshomaru asked.
"You are never far from me" Sango giggled.
Sesshomaru picked her up. "Sesshomaru what are you doing put me down" Sango laughed.
"No" Sesshomaru stated "You must rest" Sesshomaru ordered.
"Oh Lord Sesshomaru your safe and so are you Lady Sango" Jaken greeted them.
"Yes we are thank you Jaken" Sango told Jaken.
Kirara and Ah-Un came to them "Hello Kirara, Ah-Un" Sango petted them.
"Where is Kagome" Sango asked as she looked around.
"That's right I haven't seen Shippo either" Rin thought out loud.
"They must be together" Miroku suggested.
"What could they all be possibly doing" Kagura asked.
"What do you mean" Sango asked as she helped Kagura start a fire.
"Well Kikyo and Inuyasha took off then Inuyasha comes back to search for Kohaku…"Kagura told her.
"Kohaku" Sango said startled
"Sango you must lay down and rest" Sesshomaru ordered more than asked.
"But…"Sango was saying as she was pulled by Sesshomaru to her hut.
Sesshomaru put her down on her sleeping mat. He was just about to leave when Sango called out to him.
"What is it love" Sesshomaru questioned
"What about the others?"Sango asked
"What do you mean?"Sesshomaru sat next to her.
"Naraku has been killed what will happen to the others?"Sango asked
"They will make their own decisions" Sesshomaru kissed her forehead.
"Hey Kikyo were here" Inuyasha was surprised "Kagome what are you doing here"
Kagome was speechless. She just stood there next to Kikyo
"Kohaku come here" Kikyo ordered.
"Lady Kikyo was is this all about"Kohaku asked
"Do not fear, come to me" Kikyo stretched her arm.
"Hey Shippo, where have you been?" Miroku asked
"Never mind that Kagome is leaving we have to stop her" Shippo stated
"What why?"Kagura asked.
"I'll explain on the way, Kagura can you take us to the well" Shippo asked.
Kagura nodded.
On the way Shippo told them everything that happened.
"Look there they are" Kagura said.
They decided to stay up in the air.
"What's going on" Miroku asked
"Do not be angry at anybody no one is at fault" Kikyo told Inuyasha.
"What are you saying Kikyo" Inuyasha was confused.
"Lady Kikyo" Kohaku looked into her eyes
"I think you deserve a second chance" Kikyo pulled him into an embrace
Inuyasha ran to stop Kikyo from doing what she was going to do.
"Don't interfere Inuyasha forget about me!"Kikyo pushed Kagome towards him
Kagome and Inuyasha fell to the ground.
"Lady Kikyo!" Kagura yelled from the air.
Kikyo pulled the jewel shard of Kohaku's back. All her soul stealers were entering his body leaving her weak. Kohaku fell to the ground.
Kikyo arched her back the Shikon Jewel was coming out her left breast.
"Farewell Inuyasha" Kikyo jumped into the well.
Seconds later the well vanished.
"Kikyo!" Inuyasha ran to the spot where the well once stood.
Kagura took them to the ground
"Kagome" Shippo went to her.
"Are you okay Lady Kagome" Miroku helped her stand up.
"I'll never see my family again" Kagome thought about what she had just done.
Flashback
"However there is a price to pay if you wish to stay with Inuyasha you'll never go back to your time" Kikyo told Kagome.
"I'll never see them again" Kagome asked more than said.
"Is this what you want?"Kikyo asked.
"I…I l..lo..ve…I love Inuyasha" Kagome cried.
Kikyo sighed "I'll take that as a yes"
Kikyo couldn't believe Kagome would leave everything for Inuyasha.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Lady Kagome?" Miroku called out to her.
"Lady Kikyo" Kohaku stood up. He was alive.
Inuyasha sat back.
***********Kagome's time**************
Knock… Knock
"Hello Hojo" Kagome's mom open the door
"Hello I brought these herbs for ***memory loss*** uh I forgot why I brought these" Hojo stated.
"I think they were for Souta's grandfather" Hojo gave it to her and left.
"Thank you" Kagome's mother waved.
Kagome vanished from the pictures in her home and from the memory of everyone that knew her.
Inuyasha was furious he wanted to take his anger on anything or anyone.
"It's your fault" Inuyasha growled.
Inuyasha reached for Kohaku with his claws
"Inuyasha!" Everybody yelled in shock.
"Fool, have you lost your mind?"Sesshomaru questioned. Sesshomaru had him by his wrist. He made it on time to block Inuyasha from killing Kohaku.
"Surely you had an idea this was going to happen" Sesshomaru pushed him off.
Miroku saw this as good opportunity to get Kohaku out of their way.
Inuyasha stood he was about to charge at Sesshomaru.
"Inuyasha come to your senses" Miroku pleaded.
"If you would have harmed Kohaku all of Kikyo's sacrifice would have been for nothing." Miroku added.
"Sango would have never forgiven you" Sesshomaru scolded Inuyasha.
Inuyasha's hands got into tight fist. He left running.
"Let's head back Sango will become worried" Sesshomaru ordered.
"What about Inuyasha" Shippo asked
"He'll come back when he is ready" Sesshomaru answered.
