"Chapter 25 SAY IT ONE MORE TIME!
Kagome woke up, she couldn't help but take a few blinks. She started to feel a burning in her neck. It felt like it was on fire. She reached her hand around to it, the marks were still there. But they should have been gone by now. Isn't that what Onigumo told her? She shook her head, the burn increased in her neck. Jumping at the sound.....
BAM came to the door BAM BAM BAM Kikyo had jumped up, "What you want!"
They heard a growl, "I want to see her!" it was Inuyasha.
She felt dizzy and confused. She felt stress tense into her body. She told her to let him in and he walked in. Her stomach clinched...when was the last time she ate a full meal without being so stressed?Inuyasha stood there, with a smile on his face. He rushed to her taking her hands into his. He wiped some of the sweat off her face, she was sweating? "Inuyasha I..."
"I love you, I won't say something like that no more to make you run off." he kissed her deeply, to slowly pull away. "I don't know what got into me that morning. I had no right to say those terrible things to you." He said. He looked over at Kikyo, regret pin there in his heart. He never loved Kikyo in the first place, but she looked so alone in those days.
"Inuyasha, I feel that..." that was it she hurried to run to the bathroom and vomited. Her damn nerves acted up all at once. So much had happen, does this mean that the dragon demon to became weak under stress? She heard Inuyasha come behind her, rubbing her back.
"Kagome, you ok?"
She finally sat down, the taste was awful in her mouth. "I'm fine the last few days been harsh on my body and mind. I think it needed to be re leaved this way." she said. She had to admit she felt better now, but the bite marks on her neck felt blazing on her skin and deep down. "Inuyasha your bite mark burns."
Kagome felt him lift her hair out of the way to look at the marks. "Looks fresh," to her surprise she screamed....he bit her again. Kikyo had came running in to only laugh at the sight of t he two on the ground, and blood on Inuyasha lips.
"Still claiming her Inuyasha?"
"Of course, we are engaged still.....right Kagome?" he sounded like he was full of doubt on that question.
"Of course Inuyasha." She said, in away she felt re leaved of the answer. She smiled, Onigumo had to be wrong about this family. He was so full of hate he never stopped to ask why these things happen. Looking at everyone eyes she knew she could never kill other demons to just destroy them for being what they were.
Kagome wore socks around the house to only rub her feet across the carpet. She wasn't mopping, in fact things got better through out the morning. When everyone started to tell her things about their lives more freely, things seem to lighten up, everything but Sesshomaru and Kaugra. They didn't share the same bed room no more, better yet Sesshomaru always left middle of the night leaving everyone alone with a very miserable Kaugra.
Kagome felt something tingle on her finger tips to look down, yep bigger effect. She walked up to Kouga and next anyone knew *ZAP *. Everyone came in to see a very frizzy hair and not so happy Kouga.
"Damn it Kagome Not again!" He went to chase after her.
"I should of seen that one coming." Entie said Laughing.
She hurried to jump over a couch and the coffee table. Kouga right behind her, "Come on Wolf boy come get me!" She said laughing ready to run out the door when she smacked right into Inuyasha. They both fell onto the ground and they knew what this meant BUSTED!
"What the hell do you think your doing?" He said looking at her, then he looked past her to see Kouga and his long hair fizzed up. He had to laugh, there was no denying it. He laughed so hard tears were streaming down his face. Finally calming down he and Kagome got up.
"Tell the demon of yours to stop with the zapping at me!" he pointed a finger at her. He had been zapped twice that morning.
Inuyasha had sigh looking at Kagome. "Kagome, I don't understand how you keep zapping poor defenseless Kouga who is a wimp by heart. You need to leave him alone ok."
She turn to Kouga, ok this couldn't be taken seriously, she laughed so hard she lost control. Fire set on her hands and her hair turned Ice her breathing seem to puffing out some smoke. But nothing happen, when she took control of her laughter and emotions, when Kouga left of course, she turn back to normal.
They walked to the couch and sat down. Inuyasha look very serious at this point. What could it be that he had to sit her down to talk with her.
"I know you can control yourself now Kagome."
Now she was surprise, she didn't tell no one she could do it. "What if I can?"
"That is good news Kagome, you be the first Dragon demon to control herself. I am so happy to hear it. Thats why I want to hold the wedding next week."
She couldn't of heard him right.....could she? "Next week?" She said. They have been engaged for almost a year. She wanted to wait a lot longer, but she looked up into Inuyasha eyes.
"Yes, It be a small wedding since it just us and the family. We be the first ones married in the family." He said. "I can't be away from you, I want us to be United as one Kagome." He grabbed her hands and held them, cradling them like they were glass. "I been saving myself for someone like you, my love craves the never ending with you." he said.
One word came from her thoughts 'TWILIGHT' such a movie and she felt she play the role of the stupid Bella! She wanted to be alone and away from him, but he seem to keep pushing this on her. Did everyone want to see them together? She looked around and notice everyone with a smile, but still no Sesshomaru around.
"But Inuyasha, a wedding takes a long time to prepare, how will that happen in such a short time?" she was trying to find some kind of hoop hole that he didn't think of, he did sit there and think. Now a good chance that he had changed his mind. A wedding being put together in a week time was a miracle that only god himself could create for his children...and she didn't know where she stood with him, only that she still pray to him and believed.
"You forgotten we are not like anyone else. We can prepare this even tomorrow. We can start planning this tonight. Kikyo and Keada are preparing the meal, Rin is searching for flowers. Entie is the spiritual so he be giving us our vows. Kouga and Shippo will be helping around the house and out side doing the siting of moving things around." he said. "Kaugra is making your dress as we speak and Sesshomaru hasn't been around so I can't say where or what he is doing for whatever day we choose next week." he smiled leaning over. "Please Kagome, next week be perfect."
She looked at him, she wanted to say something, but the room started to spin and she felt hot. Stupid powers seem to be getting in the way of her emotions. So much stress, "Inuyasha, I" how did she feel about him? She closed her eyes a picture of herself popped in her head as a child.
She was running around her mother new home, it was a warm summer day in Japan. How beautiful the cherry blossoms never seem to grow old with the smell. She wore a beautiful purple dress with the Cherry Blossoms all over it. Her hair tied back in a ponytail. Her brother was inside taking a nap. So she had the whole yard to herself.
She stopped when she heard a young man voice speaking to another gentleman. She stopped to turn around.
"Not sure if that be true," the dark hair charcoal eyed man said.
"Well what Entie said after all." A dark pony tail man said.
They stopped to notice her, they smiled and came over to the fence. "You sure are looking pretty today? You must of a date?"
She blushed and looked on the ground. "No, mommy said no dating until I am 100 years old." she said.
The men laugh at such a cute remark, "In that case I guys we can't ask you to escort us down the side walk?" the one with the loose hair asked.
"We love if such a beautiful young girl would take us for a stroll to the end of the sidewalk." the ponytail said.
Her mom never paid much attention where she went, she was gone one time to the candy store for three hours and she never came to find her. She smiled and open the gate to walk them to the end of the side walk. It wasn't far, but a woman called the ponytail over across the street and he took off telling his 'Brother' he see him at the house.
The loose hair smiled down, "I hope to one day I will get lucky and marry a wonderful woman like you Kagome," he said and walked off.
She never told him her name, but she skipped back home.
"Kagome? Kagome you ok?" Inuyasha was snapping his fingers. "You dazed out, something wrong?"
She hurried to shake her head, looking at Inuyasha seem like the first time again. "Your that gentleman from my childhood who I walked down the sidewalk with."
"So you remember me? I didn't think you could, you had so much tragic down the line of you life I figure I be the last person you could remember me by." he said, still holding her hands.
"You didn't go there by accident did you?"
"No, I wanted to check up on you, making sure you were ok after your parents problems."
"What did you mean Entie coming true?"
"He predicted your death as a child." he looked at her, "I care for you so much. Coming in and out of your life was the only way to make sure you were ok." he lean over and kissed her forehead. "Marry me next week please Kagome?"
All he did since she was nearly born was protect her from all the evil around her. She wanted to thank him, could this be a away to repay that debt to him? She try to search her heart for love. She remember as a child growing up she could marry such a man like him. She remember telling Sango of a man who had such nice things to her.
Sango, she missed her friendship with her. She told Sango everything about that day, and she smiled and said she was happy that her friend could have a dream of one day getting married to a man who was a gentleman unlike her father. She dreamed of him everyday, that one day like in a fairy tale he would come to her with open arms and ride off with her into the sun set.
This was the man, no demon who loved her every single day. "Inuyasha, I" words could not expressed the way she felt. She had been in love with Inuyasha all this time! The man she walked with, her savior as a child, she was in love with him still after all these years. No wonder why she couldn't allow any other man in her heart.
That man been haunting her, she been comparing men after men to that one on the sidewalk. Even her good friend Miroku couldn't even size up to him. She had to laugh now at herself. She been in love all this time to Inuyasha and not even thought once of it.
"Kagome," He said her name slowly. "Does it make you mad that I was in your life all this time?" he lean back, letting go of her hand. "Have I anger you now that you do not want to marry me at all?"
"No Inuyasha thats just not it." said said, "I found answers that I have been searching for all this time." she looked down, feeling like that one little girl again on the side walk, walking with him again. "Inuyasha I want to say thank you, for all your protecting." She began, "I love you, with all my heart all this time. It taken me time to realize such a huge thing all this time. Forgive me?"
"Kagome, I love you." She watched as he try to grab her for a hug, but she couldn't take it anymore.
She ran to the bathroom and Inuyasha followed behind her, her stomach felt awful and her head ached. She felt all this stress had caused her problems and now Inuyasha wanted to Plan a wedding. She found the toilet and started to vomit all up. She finally brought everything up, and sat down when she finally got done.
"Kagome, you okey?" He sat down next to her, trying to hold her, she stood up. He try to stand up quicker then her, but her legs give d and she fell right into his arms Passed out.
Waking up on the couch was something different. Why wasn't she in her bed? She could hear people mumble about her stress levels, how high they been since everything broke lose, including the wedding being mention.
"What happen?" she asked groaning out the words pass her lips.
"You got sick." it was Sesshomaru voice.
"Oh?" all she could come up with, "Inuyasha?"
"Kagome," it was Kikyo voice, she sounded nervous. "No one wants to ask you this, with you being my granddaughter it is my duty to ask." what could it be? "How long you been pregnant?"
She sat up quickly. "What you say?"
"How long you been pregnant?"
She was Pregnant? How can this be? She was a dragon demon, she could not conceive children!
