Chapter Two

A Broken Hearted Hanyou


~From Last Chapter~

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled. He saw her choking, and suddenly, her body stopped moving. He barely heard, "'Love you... Yasha..." before he smelt death. Kagome's. Suddenly, a soul - stealing youkai belonging to Kikyo flew up to Kagome's body, and stole her soul, bringing it to Kikyo, who was smirking.

"Inuyasha, come with me!" She said. "I'm now complete!" But he was no longer himself. His normally golden eyes were now completely red. His face now had stripes on it.

"Not anymore!" The hanyou growled, striking Kikyo with his outstretched claws. Her head knocked cleanly off her shoulders.

Miroku, Sango, and Shippou all blanched when they saw youkai-Inuyasha growl, take Kagome's lifeless body, and take it far into the forest.


Now on with our chapter!


"We have to go get her! Who knows what he could do to her in his state!" Shippou said, frightened for the body of his surrogate mother. Sango nodded her agreement.

"He could slice her body up, Houshi-sama. We have to stop him before--" Sango said, before she was interrupted by Miroku's voice.

"Before what? Even though he may be youkai, he's still the same hanyou we know. He would do nothing to Kagome's body. If anything, he could be asking her for forgiveness," He said, calmly.

"But she's already dead!" Shippou said.

"Aa, but her soul can hear him," Miroku disagreed. "Still, let us follow him. We have to speak with Kagome-sama's mother and family about this terrible day."

* * *

"Kagome... why'd ya have to die?! Why didn't you run for the well like you always do when you want to go home?! Why did you let Kagura get you?!" Inuyasha asked, frustratedly, towards Kagome's body. In useless attempts before, he had been trying to put his youkai blood into her to revive the dead miko, but... she remained dead.

He felt his eyes burn, but didn't stop the tears that fell down his cheeks. There was no denying it. It was his fault that Naraku killed her. His fault for making her find shards that she wouldn't even use in the end. His fault for ruining her life.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome's face again. Then, something clicked in his head. He looked at Kagome's neck - slender, pale, free from any marks or scars. He then bit her skin lightly, and, using blood from one of his wounds on his arm (that he used to give Kagome blood earlier), added it to the wound on her neck. Then, licking it, he finished his work with his claw. Now, a small mark was seen on the back of her neck. His mark.

No matter if she was dead, once she was reincarnated, or resurrected, she would have that mark on her neck, allowing him to find her again.

He smiled, sorrowfully, at Kagome's corpse, until he picked it up again, taking it for it's final trip to the Bone Eater's Well.

Souta's eyes widened when he saw his hero, Inuyasha, knock on their door, carrying Kagome. She was unusually pale, and Souta noticed a cut on her throat.

"W-w-what happened to Kagome-niichan, Inuyasha?" Souta asked, not knowing his childlike naiveté was killing his hero inside. "Is she alright?"

"N-no... I'm sorry to say she's not..." Inuyasha said, his voice cracking.

"What happened, Inuyasha?! What happened to niichan?!" Souta asked, going hysterical.

"Get your mother and your grandfather. I'll tell all of you together," the hanyou instructed, and the boy ran to get them.

As soon as that was done, and they were all in the Higurashi living room, Kagome lying on the sofa.

"What happened to my baby girl?" Mrs. Higurashi asked, tears awaiting to fall down her cheeks. "Is she sick?"

"She... died... Naraku killed her..." Inuyasha said, softly. Suddenly, he heard a loud scream. Mrs. Higurashi had burst into loud sobs. Jii-chan was crying, and Souta wouldn't believe it.

"No, Inuyasha. Niichan's still alive! She's just sleeping!!!" He said, running up to Kagome. "Kagome! Kagome! Wake up!! Tell Inuyasha you're okay! Tell me you're okay!!"

But Kagome didn't answer.

All of the neighbors of the Higurashi shrine heard that night were terrifying sobs, and one lone howl.

* * *

After Kagome's funeral, Inuyasha had decided to go back to the Sengoku Jidai. Souta and Mrs. Higurashi didn't look at him the same. It broke his heart when he saw Souta each time.

When he reached the Sengoku Jidai, he didn't reach the monk or the taiji-ya. Instead, he found Shippou, who was waiting just outside the well, and the two decided to leave the area to another.

* * *

That had been nearly seven hundred years ago. Shippou had now grown into an adolescent kitsune (since youkai age much more slowly than humans), and Inuyasha was now an adult. Inuyasha had a very successful business going on.

"Oi, brat!" Inuyasha yelled, when he pulled his Jaguar into their driveway, and walked in the front door. He still used his old nickname for Shippou. "You home?"

"Yeah, I am!" Shippou yelled back from upstairs. The sound of a video game could be heard. "Hey, can you sue my school?"

"Why?" Inuyasha asked, as he untied the tie around his neck, and unbuttoned the top few buttons of his business shirt.

"'Cause they gave me too much homework, and Takagi-sensei flunked me in Chemistry!" Shippou yelled back down. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. The hanyou decided not to listen to Shippou's last comment, as he took a few papers from his briefcase, and walked into his study, securely locking the door.

His study. The only room in his house that he had privacy. His eyes flicked to the bookcase, where, on the top, lay the Shikon no Tama. He had kept it safe after all those years. And yet, he had no use for it. He sighed, and took refuge behind his desk.

"Kagome, I'm coming," He said, as he started to work.

* * *

On the other side of town, in a small, cramped apartment, filled with boxes that movers brought in, fresh from law school, Kirei Higurashi collapsed onto her bed, her mind filled with dreams that she was a girl who could travel through time, and that she was friends with a hanyou. She had to admit, he was rather handsome.

Kirei's eyes opened, and she giggled. This one now had a taiji-ya and a monk. Wait. Rephrase that. There was a perverted monk, and a taiji-ya who was his 'victim'. Occasionally, Kirei had become the victim, but the hanyou stopped the monk.

She sat up from her bed, and looked around the room. Bare. Feeling a cramp in her neck, she rubbed it, accidentally hitting the birthmark on her neck. She felt a slight tinge of pain.

Ever since she was born it was on her. Her mother had doctors try to figure out why whenever someone touched it, it hurt Kirei, but no one had an answer.

Sighing, she got up, and looked out the window.

Well Tokyo, meet Kirei Higurashi. She thought, as raindrops patted on her window.

Author's note- Sorry that one wasn't as long as the first. I'm getting really tired, but I'll make it up with another chapter soon. Ja ne!
