Chapter Twenty-five
Inuyasha ran. He jumped over streams, over fallen trees, over rocks. He leaped from tree to tree. He had to make it to the village no matter what. Kagome kept coughing. She started to shiver and he was afraid that he would drop her. Releasing a low growl, he tighten his grip upon the girl and started pick up his pace. He had to arrive at the village and soon.
"Hang on, Kagome." He tighten his grip once more as he leaped over a few fallen trees. The village seem so close and then so far. He wasn't sure on how long it would take. With a regular journey, it might take three or four days. He didn't have that much time. He had to arrive soon or the girl he loved would be lost.
He glanced down at her face and used his fingers to move some of hair from her face. It was soaked by the sweat that ran down her face. Her fever was getting worse. He released a quiet curse as he quicken his speed.
It had been hours since Inuyasha started racing towards the village. He could see that the sun was high and starting to set. It was late in the afternoon and neither were close to the village. It seemed a lot closer than last time. He knew it wasn't too much farther, but still, he had to arrive to it.
Kagome kept shaking in his arms. Her breathing was ragged and short. It seemed to be that she was grasping for precious air. He laid his hand over her forhead and noticed that it was a lot warmer. It seemed that her fever was getting worse. Releasing a silent curse, he wrapped his arms around the girl and took larger jumps from tree to tree.
The village seem close as the sun started to set over the horizon. Glancing down at the young miko, he noticed that she was asleep. He figured with all the coughing, she became too exhausted. Bringing her closer, he started to descend down the mountain path towards the village.
The people of the village didn't seem scared as Inuyasha walked in. He kept looking around for anyone. He needed help. Kagome was starting to cough again and he didn't know what to do. Calling out, he hoped that someone, anyone, would help him. A young girl slowly approached him as he stood looking down at the miko's warm face. "What brings you to our village, demon?"
With worried eyes, he glanced up at the young girl that approached him. "My friend is sick. She has a bad cough and high fever. Please, help her."
The girl nodded and rested her hand over Kagome's forhead. She jumped back by the intense heat of the fever. "Come with me to the inn. I will send a healer to help the girl." Inuyasha nodded and followed the young girl through the vilage to the inn.
It was late in the evening when the healer finally left. Different herbs and berries were used, but finally Kagome's fever broke. The healer explained that Kagome would need to rest. After a day or two, she would be back to normal. Inuyasha was happy about the news.
Finishing the fish that the owner of the inn brought in, Inuyasha walked over to the futon Kagome was laying on. During the whole evening, Kagome only woke up once. During that time, Rei, the young girl who helped Inuyasha, helped Kagome drink some broth. As the young girl sat in the inn, Inuyasha learned that they were on the right path to head back home.
Currently, Kagome was resting. She was no longer coughing. Her fever was gone and her skin was back to it's normal color. Inuyasha used one of his fingers to move a strand of hair from the girl. He had a weak smile on his face. Not one from sadness, but one from relief and care. He almost lost her. Kagome stirred a little as he rest his finger against her skin. He glanced down to see two eyes and a warm smile upon her face. "You're awake."
Kagome slowly rose with the help of Inuyasha. She glanced around the room before looking back at the hanyou. "Where are we?"
"At a mountain village. You received a high fever at the cave. I had no other place to go except here."
Kagome gave him a small smile as she rested her hand against the side of his face. "Thank you."
Moving towards her, he pulled her towards him into a warm embrace. "I almost lost you, in the mountain, in the cave, and then with the fever."
"You didn't though." He leaned back and looked towards her calm face. A small smile danced upon hers. Kagome could see the shine of unshed tears in his eyes. He was that worried about her. He was afraid that he was going to lose her. He bent towards her and brushed his lips over hers. She embraced him back sealing both in a warm kiss.
The unshed tears in his eyes ran free as he held her close, kissing her with all the passion he had. He nibbled at her bottom lip allowing his fangs to gaze across. His tongue traced the edges asking, pleading to be accepted. She open allowing him to devour her away. He wanted to show how much he needed her. He almost lost her and didn't want to risk it again. She was everything and to lose her would be killing him away.
His claws traced her neck causing a small muffled moan to escape her lips. He devoured everything she knew. He brought passion. He brought care. He brought love. His tears were warm against her skin. He was meaning so much to her that he didn't even know it. He fought his way to her. He risked his life for her. He was strong when she was weak. There was so much to him that it was impossible to describe.
Leaning foward, she pressed her body against him. She wanted to be surround by his light. She wanted to be eaten away by his warmth. She wanted everything of him. She just wanted to be near him. The passion she held, the desire she kept hidden, it was all surfacing and it was because of him. He confessed on how he felt and now she wanted to prove the same to him. Words mean nothing compare to this. Words just let someone know. Expressing them is so much deep. Expressing allows you to prove everything that you were trying to say. Her hands grabbed his white shirt and pulled it open. She brushed her hands over his bare chest leaving a burning fire behind.
Parting from the kiss, he used his claws to grab her hands. She stopped the movement and stared into his golden eyes. They were like liquid gold that were melting her away. He placed a kiss upon her forhead before calling her name. "Kagome." He had to let her know. Before anything else happen, he had to be sure of it. "This is... forever. Are you sure?"
Her eyes now held the unshed tears. The smile upon her face brighten his day as she launched towards him. He felt her nod before her lips met his with a hungry force. She answered the very question he wanted to ask. She wanted to stay. She wanted to be with him.

Inuyasha collapsed against her, embracing his weight upon his arms. Both were panting for air, had racing hearts, covered in sweat, exhausted from the night, but neither cared. Kagome raised her hand and started to stroke one of his ears. A light growl-like purr soon rummbled across her stomach.
Gathering her breathing, Kagome looked down at the hanyou she loved. "When you said forever, what were you meaning?" It was a question she was curious about. She heard him say it twice to her. Each time, she didn't think, she just acted.
Inuyasha released a deep breath as he rolled over onto his side, bringing the girl against his chest. "It means exactly what I said. You're my mate, the one I will cherish and love forever. You are happy about that, right?"
Kagome snuggled against him, hitting him within one particular part releasing a low moan from his lips. "Yes. It is everything I wanted and so much more. I got you."
"Good. Now get some rest." Kagome gave him a nod and drifted to sleep. Inuyasha soon followed with a smile upon his face. Kagome was with him. She was his mate.
Rolling a boulder away, Kai stood up from the rubble of the cave. He released a curse into the night as he shot a dagger towards a rock destroying it. He almost had her. He almost had the power. The hanyou had to interferr preventing everything. Now, she had the Harikatana and the power. Now, she was impossible to defeat unless she was dead.
He released a dark laugh. That was his only solution. He had to make sure that the powers of the Purest of Heart are never used. He had to kill the miko. After she is dead, there would be no one that could stop him. He knew what he had to do. Disappearing a dark powder, he made his way back to the castle. There he would make a plan out with the other members of his group and go after the miko.
The sun shined brightly through the curtains over the young couple. It was warm to their bare skin as the young miko moved. She rolled over and had a smile upon her face. The hanyou she loved was sleeping peacefully. She was his mate. Slowly, she traced her hand over the side of his face, moving the strands of hair. She reached up and soon started to rub one of the fuzzy triangles.
A low growl escaped the hanyou's lips. Kagome stopped and glanced down. One golden eye was staring at her. "Morning." She quickly placed a kiss upon his cheek before continuing the assault on his ears.
He moved, causing his ear to jerk out of her hand. "Don't."
"Oh, come on. It is morning." She tried to reach over only to receive another growl from the hanyou. She just ignored the warning that he was giving her.
With another growl and rolling over, he pinned her below. "Don't. I am tired and you wore me out last night."
"I didn't."
"You did. Now let me sleep." He rolled onto his side putting his back towards the girl. Kagome released a sigh and stood up, wrapping the blanket around her before looking around for her clothing. The hanyou's ears were moving to the sounds. Lifting his head, he turned towards his mate and noticed that she had a confused look on her face. "Now what's wrong?"
Kagome released a sigh. "I can not seem to find my clothing."
"Uhh. Your shirt was destroyed in the cave and the rest is over there." He pointed over near the wall and Kagome's eyes went wide along with a bright blush. "However, your bag is over by my sword, next to the wall." Kagome nodded and reached for her bag.
"What do you mean, my shirt was destroyed in the cave?"
"You were freezing. I had no solution, but to use my body heat to warm you. I removed your wet shirt and covered you up in mine." Kagome gave him a nod and continued to get dress. When she was done, she ran over to her mate and gave him a quick kiss before disappearing out of the room. Inuyasha released a sigh before laying his head back down and drifting to sleep.
Inuyasha and Kagome had been travelling for about three days. They both wanted to arrive back at the village as soon as possible. Both wanted to rejoin with Sango and Miroku and head after the leader of the Koimaryoku demons. Inuyasha wasn't too happy about what almost happen at the cave. The sooner he could find the leader, the sooner he could kill him and rid him of the problem.
They were lucky on the journey back home to the village. The weather was nice and it seemed that they were making good time returning back. Both were glad to be heading back. Neither complained about what happen at the inn, but both wanted to let their friends know that they were safe and that the Harikatana was with them.
Miroku was sitting within shade under a tree as Inuyasha and Kagome came walking out of the forest. His eyes were closed, but he open one of them and nodded towards the hanyou and miko. "I see that you have returned. How did the journey go?"
A light redish blush appeared over Kagome's face as she turned to hide behind Inuyasha. Inuyasha just crossed his arms into his haori and continued to walk, pulling Kagome with him. "It went fine. We have the Harikatana."
"That's good. I wouldn't go into the hut at the moment, though. Sango is sick." Inuyasha stopped and turned towards the monk. Kagome's eyes went wide as she realized what was happening.
"Morning sickness. A woman gets this when she is pregnant. Sometimes, it can be hard on a woman or easy. However, it doesn't last too long." Inuyasha listen to Kagome as she explained and followed her towards Kaeda's hut when she was finished.
Kaeda and Shippou were sitting inside cleaning some herbs. Just as Kagome jumped in, the kitsune ran and jumped into Kagome's arms. He noticed something different about her, but only figured it was because of Inuyasha always kissing Kagome and being around her. Giving her a hug, he jumped off and went back to Kaeda. "We have the blade. As soon as Sango is able to move, we will start to find the demons and destroy them."
Keada looked up as Inuyasha spoke. She watched as the hanyou sat down near the wall. Kagome followed, sitting next to him, holding out the Harikatana. Kaeda gave a nod to the young miko. "It would be wiser to wait for a while or do it on ye own. With Sango in her condition, it would not be such a good idea to move the lady." Inuyasha rolled his eyes and released a "feh" as Kagome nodded. Maybe that was the solution. It would be easier and since the demons were after Kagome, it would be a lot faster on their own.
"Inuyasha, that doesn't seem like a bad idea. Sango is only a few weeks in her pregnancy. We would be waiting for almost eight months. Defeating the demons on our own would protect her and it would be faster."
"If we do that, then you are staying in your time. I am not risking you getting caught or hurt by those demons again." replied Inuyasha. He was agreeing with what Kagome said. It would faster and a lot safer. Plus, keeping her here would gurantee her protection from the leader.
Kagome shook her head. "No. I am coming and you can not argue with me on that." Kaeda rolled her eyes and followed the young kitsune out. Both knew what was going to happen and didn't want to be in the way of the argue or fight.
"I can and I will. You are not coming. I made my decission. You are my mate and I can not risk losing you to their leader again."
"What about the blade? You don't even know how to use the power."
Inuyasha gave a shrug with his shoulder. "I will just have to find a way. You are not coming. You are staying either here or in your time. My decission is final. With me being the dominate mate, my decissions go."
Kagome tried to hold back her anger. It was working, but she was also feeling tears that were starting to build up behind her eyes. Standing up, she ran pass the hanyou and straight out of the hut. She didn't care where she was going. She thought with everything that happen, he would be more kinder, that he would allow her to do more things. She was wrong.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes as he stepped out of the hut. He could smell Kagome's tears. He didn't mean to hurt her. He just didn't want to risk her life again. Kai almost suceeded. If he wasn't there to save her, Inuyasha would have lost her. "Kaeda, I will be leaving tomorrow to find these demons. I leave Kagome here with you. She may leave to her time, but she is not to follow me." Kaeda nodded her head and watched as the hanyou walked in the other direction the young miko ran.
