The Prom
Chapter Fifteen
Back to the past
Sunlight flooded through Kagome's window lighting the entire room. As he sunshine
poured on Inu-Yasha's face and slowly started to wake him. Giving a low groan he
slowly opened his eyes as they adjusted to the light. Using his tongue he felt his fangs
had come back, and was relieved he was now half demon again. He lay on his side on
Kagome's bed, and looked down to see the sleeping girl in his arms. She had her hands
wrapped around him and her face on his chest. Inu-Yasha held her tighter, taking in her
beautiful scent. Leaning his head down slightly he pecked her on the lips, and smiled as
she mumbled something in her sleep. Taking a hand off her waist, he brushed her hair
off her neck before nuzzling it. He loved doing this to her now that she was his, and
since Kouga was out of the way and Hojo he had nothing to worry about that would break
them apart. Suddenly he stopped and raised his head to stare at Kagome's sleeping face.
Kikyo . . . Kikyo was the only thing that really stopped them from having true happiness
together. Burying his face into her black hair, he started to think, ^How am I going to be
able to rest her in peace without being dragged to hell? I could kill her, since it really
isn't the Kikyo I once knew, it would be more like killing a puppet, or would it? I've
sworn to protect Kagome, but I swore to protect her too^ Inu-Yasha's thoughts were
interrupted as her heard a small groan, and the woman in his arms slowly stir.
"Good morning," yawned Kagome as she stared into the golden eyes of Inu- Yasha's.
"Good morning to you too," whispered Inu-Yasha as he wiped strands of hair out of her
face.
Kagome leaned forward and kissed Inu-Yasha on the cheek. Before she could lye back
down Inu-Yasha pulled her into a passionate kiss, his tongue ravishing her mouth.
Rolling on his back and not breaking the kiss, Kagome was now lying on top of Inu-
Yasha. They broke apart for air and just stared into each others yes.
"I love you," whispered Kagome as she combed Inu-Yasha's silver hair with her fingers.
"And I love you," said Inu-Yasha as he pulled her in for another kiss. '
Kagome's one hand was still tangled in his hair while the other one found his ear and
started to rub it gently between her fingers. Inu-Yasha started to purr, and Kagome
could feel his chest vibrating underneath her. One of Inu-Yasha's hands slipped under
her shirt so he could feel her bare back. (Don't worry people there are no lemon scenes in
my story, I'm not the perverted!!! Just good old making out!) It was then that Inu-Yasha
remembered he still had to mark Kagome as his. Removing his lips from hers he started
to nuzzle her neck, his hands still on her back. Taking a deep breath he whispered in her
ear, "This might hurt a bit,"
Kagome knew what was going to happen, and prepared herself for the pain. Inu-Yasha
really didn't want to do this, but he had to. Leaning closer to her neck, he stopped at a
place just below her ear, opened his mouth and bit into her neck. Kagome gasped at the
sudden pain she felt, but it actually wasn't that bad. Her breathing had started to go fast
and her arms were so tight around Inu-Yasha's neck she was afraid she would suffocate
him. Inu-Yasha could taste Kagome's blood in his mouth as his teeth sunk into her
flesh. He felt guilty do this to her, but it had to be done. As soon as he felt that it would
leave a mark, he removed his fangs from her neck and started to clean the wound with his
tongue. Kagome almost giggled since his tongue was so rough.
"You okay?" asked Inu-Yasha.
"Never better," smiled Kagome.
There was a knock on the door as Kagome's mom entered the room. "Morning you
two,"
"Good morning mom,"
"It's time that you two should go now,"
"So soon?" asked Kagome a the thoughts of last nights event crept back into her mind.
"Yes dear, before the police arrive and start questioning you,"
Kagome nodded and got off Inu-Yasha to stand up and hug her mom. Inu- Yasha got up
and stood behind her.
"Grandpa and Sota are downstairs waiting to say good bye to you,"
Kagome sadly nodded and headed to the bathroom to brush her hair. She would just
wear her pajama's and then get a miko outfit from Kaede when they returned to the
feudal era. While Kagome was getting ready, Mrs. Higurashi decided to have a little
chat with Inu-Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha, I want you to take good care of my daughter while your gone,"
"Of course I will,"
"Thank you,"
"I promise I will protect Kagome with my life,"
"Kagome also told me you two plan to get married,"
Inu-Yasha didn't know what to say, he wasn't sure if Mrs. Higurashi would like him in
their family. "Yes, that's true,"
"Well, you'll definetly have to have a ceremony here once it's safe for you two to
return,"
Inu-Yasha nodded and heard the bathroom door open as Kagome stepped out. "I'm
ready,"
Inu-Yasha smiled and walked with her outside to the old well house where her grandpa
and brother were waiting. Kagome said her good byes before she hopped on Inu-Yasha's
back and went through the well.
**************************************************************************
Sango sighed as she stared up at the morning clear blue sky. It had been a bit boring the
last few days without Kagome and Inu-Yasha around, but she at least had Miroku to
keep her company, and Shippo as well. Kiara was lying on her stomach curled up in a
ball as the small demon slept quietly. Smiling Sango laid her head back down on the
grass and stretched her arms as she watched the clouds roll by.
"Sango!"
Looking up, she saw Miroku walking towards her carrying his staff.
"Hello Miroku," said Sango and allowed the monk to peck her on the lips. While Inu-
Yasha an Kagome had been gone, Miroku had confessed his love to Sango and was
relieved that Sango felt the same way. Miroku laid down beside her and stared at the sky
with her. "What are you thinking?"
"Wonder when Kagome is going to be back,"
"Don't worry, they should be coming back soon,"
"I know, it's just been so . . . dull here with out them,"
"I'm rather offended that you find me boring," said Miroku.
"Then do something exciting to cheer me up,"
Miroku smiled slyly as he pushed Kiara off of Sango and started to kiss her
passionately. Kiara gave the two lovers a small growl before wandering off to find
Shippo. Just when things were about to get interesting, they heard a gasp. Miroku got
off of Sango to see Inu-Yasha standing a few feet away from them with Kagome on his
back.
"Well, well, well," said Inu-Yasha, a great big smirk on his face, "Looks like were not
the only ones who confessed our love to each other,"
Kagome nodded in agreement since she was giggling with the stunned looks on Miroku
and Sango's face. Not to mention the two were blushing like crazy.
"So what happened with you two?" asked Miroku as he got to his feet and helped Sango
as well.
"We'll explain in the village," said Inu-Yasha.
Miroku nodded and they all headed to Kaede's village.
**************************************************************************
"I see, so you and Kagome plan to build a house in your forest,"
"Yes," said Inu-Yasha. He had just finished explaining the situation to Sango, Miroku,
and Shippo while Kagome was getting her miko outfit from Kaede in the other room of
the hut.
"I can't believe you actually confessed your feelings Inu-Yasha, and here I was thinking
you would stay a two timing . . ."
"You looking for a fight monk?"
"Uh . . . no, not at all," stuttered Miroku.
"Didn't think so, anyway, today I'm going to get started on our house today,"
"Mind if we help?" asked Sango.
"Why?"
"Well if we help you with your house, then you can help us with ours," said Miroku,
wrapping an arm around Sango's shoulders.
Inu-Yasha sighed, "Well I guess we could do that. Miroku, you and I will work mostly
on the hut, Sango and Kagome can work on the gardens and furniture,"
"Sounds like a good plan to me," said Kagome as she came out of the other room. She
was dressed in a miko outfit like Kaede, but had her hair hanging freely down past her
shoulders. "Shall we get started?"
"What about me Inu-Yasha? What can I do?" asked Shippo.
"Uh, you can help Kagome and Sango,"
"Okay," said Shippo.
The group headed into the forest and started to search for a clearing. Finally they found
one near the god tree. It was well off from the village, close enough to the well, and had
a stream near by with fresh water that lead to a lake near by for bathing.
"Perfect," smiled Inu-Yasha, who had his arms wrapped around Kagome's waist.
"Well, let's get started," said Kagome.
Inu-Yasha and Kagome grabbed stones and started to layout the area of the house.
When that was finished, Kagome and Sango started to work on the garden while Inu-
Yasha and Miroku cut down trees. Unknown to the group, they were being watched by a
very unhappy prestress. She was amazed that Inu-Yasha hadn't picked up on her scent.
At first she watched the group wondering what on earth they were doing. Kikyo was
about to leave, but then she had seen Inu-Yasha kiss Kagome and she had almost lost it.
"That reincarnation of mine does love that half demon. Well it's not like this changes
anything, Inu-Yasha will still go to hell with me, and my reincarnation will die,"
With that, Kikyo disappeared into the forest, being followed by her soul catchers.
**************************************************************************
The sun slowly started to set in the west as the day came to an end. Miroku and Inu-
Yasha lay exhausted by the almost completed hut. They were quite amazed on how
much they had accomplished in one day, all they had left to do was the flooring on the
bottom floor and windows on the top floor for the two bedrooms. Sango and Kagome ha
actually planted one garden for vegetables and another for flowers. Kagome had quickly
snuck back to her world to get the seeds without being noticed by her family or anyone
for that matter.
"Well, I guess we should head back to the village," panted Miroku.
"I agree," added Shippo and Sango.
"You guys go ahead, we'll spend the night here," said Inu-Yasha.
"Are you guys sure?" asked Miroku.
"Yes, we'll be fine, you two head back, we'll be fine,"
Miroku nodded and they headed back to Kaede's village while Inu-Yasha and Kagome
headed inside there new home. Kagome gasped since he hadn't been in their home yet,
and was getting a personal tour by Inu-Yasha. They had lanterns all over the home to
light the inside since the windows were not made yet. Wrapping his arms around her
waist, he started the tour.
"Here in this large room, we'll have a fire pit in the middle for us to cook and keep
warm. We'll have a table near by so we can eat,"
Kagome stared a round the room, trying to imagine this in her mind. At the moment it
was just an empty room with no wooden flooring, but it was still perfect to her. Inu-
Yasha then led her to the next room on the left which was smaller than then the first.
"This is where we'll have the guest room for when Sango and Miroku come visit,"
There were sheets in the corner for hammocks until they could get some real bedding,
but for now that's all they had. Leading Kagome to the next room it was the same size as
the guest room, but had stairs leading to the upper floors.
"In here is our sitting room, for when we get company,"
Kagome smiled leaned against Inu-Yasha's strong chest. She couldn't believe this was
happening to her. It was what she had always dreamed about.
They headed up the stairs which lead to two doorways. Going to the one on the left, it
was quite big. "This is where our pups will sleep,"
Kagome almost wanted to cry in happiness, but she held her tears back as Inu-Yasha
lead her to the other room. It was the same size but had real bedding on the floor and
candles were lit all over the place.
"And this is our room," Inu-Yasha whispered in her ear as he started to nuzzle her neck.
"It's so wonderful," whispered Kagome. She almost yelped in surprise as Inu-Yasha
suddenly picked her up and carried her to their bed. As he laid her down, he started to
kiss her again, more passionately then before. Kagome didn't know what he was
planning, but she didn't want him to stop. As they parted for air Inu- Yasha started to
nuzzle her neck again while his hands roamed her back.
"Inu-Yasha?" Kagome said in barely a whisper.
"Hmm?" he mumbled.
"I thought we were going to wait until we were married?"
"I know, but I want you tonight,"
Kagome blushed ten shades red and started to feel tense, but she relaxed as Inu-Yasha
started to nuzzle her neck again. As Kagome laid back down she froze.
"What's the matter?" asked Inu-Yasha.
"I . . . I know this sounds crazy . . . but I sense a jewel shard," whispered Kagome.
"That's . . . that's impossible,"
"It's really close by," Kagome got up and headed downstairs to outside with Inu-Yasha
at her heals. Running outside it was now completely dark as Kagome came to stop and
pulled the sacred jewel out which was hanging around her neck and it was glowing.
"How can there be another jewel shard? I thought we got them all," hissed Inu-Yasha.
Kagome looked at the jewel and gasped. On the very top was a piece that didn't seem to
be part of the jewel. (Okay, now here is where I might get in trouble. While reading the
Episode Guides of Inu-Yasha, I read one where Naraku had the ability to make fake
jewel shards or something like that. Now I don't know if this is true or not. So if it isn't,
let me know and I should be able to think of something)
"I don't believe it! One of the shards is a fake one made by Naraku!" gasped Kagome.
"Impossible! We destroyed him, so his fake jewels should have been destroyed!"
"It's quite possible that after our battle with him Kouga could have found one at
Naraku's castle," suggested Kagome.
"But then . . . who would . . ." Inu-Yasha sniffed the air and froze.
"What is it?"
"It's . . . Kikyo," Inu-Yasha said in barely a whisper.
Kagome ran to their house only to grab her bow and arrows before taking off into the
trees.
"Kagome wait!" cried Inu-Yasha as he followed her, but was immedialty stopped as he
hit something and was thrown back. Getting to his feet he growled, "Damn! It's Kikyo's
spirit shield! What the hell am I going to do?"
**************************************************************************
Kagome ran as fast as her feet could carry her. ^I can sense her, she's close . . . very
close^ Kagome thought as she ran through the trees. Finally she came to a clearing and
there she was . . . Kikyo. The dead prestress was surrounded by her soul catchers, and
like Kagome she was wearing her usual miko outfit and had a bow and arrow.
"Well, if it isn't my reincarnation," said Kikyo coldly.
Kagome could see that Kikyo a sacred jewel shard in her right shoulder, ^If I hit it with
my arrow, then I should be able to get it^ thought Kagome.
"I see that Inu-Yasha and you are together, which is something I do not agree with,"
"We don't really care what you think," hissed Kagome. "Why don't you just return to the
after life? There's nothing for you here, your dead!"
"Maybe so, but I refuse return to the after life with out Inu-Yasha,"
"Then you'll have to get passed me in order for that to happen,"
"As you wish," smiled Kikyo as she reached for her arrow.
"You'll have to be faster than that!" cried Kagome as she fired an arrow out Kikyo.
Kikyo narrowly dodged the arrow and smiled as she stared at Kagome, "You are pretty
good, even though you must remember that you are only a reincarnation, and nothing
more,"
"Shut up! I may be your reincarnation but I'm nothing like you! Sure I may have your
powers too, but I am me! Kagome Higurashi!"
"What a touching speech," Kikyo said in barely a whisper, "However I have no time for
this,"
Moving at the speed of light, Kikyo lunged forward, grabbed Kagome by the shoulders,
and hit her with her miko powers in a blinding flash of pink light. Kagome cried out in
pain as she could feel her flesh burning from the attack and was thrown back, hitting the
ground hard, but eventually skidding to a stop.
"Is this all you can do, stand there," hissed Kikyo.
Kagome slowly got to her feet. She could feel the rage building up in her body, ^ I will
not lose to her^ thought Kagome. Concentrating on her power, she started to glow soft
pink as her miko powers started to grow stronger. Reaching for an arrow, she lunged
forward and fired at Kikyo. Leaping to the side Kikyo was still hit in the left arm and lost
concentration of the spirit shield.
**************************************************************************
Inu-Yasha had his Tetsusaiga drawn and was trying to break through the shield, but he
was having no luck. Just as he was about to give up, a hole appeared in the shield.
Taking his only chance, he leapt through the hole and followed Kagome's scent. He
growled slightly since he could smell a little of Kagome's blood.
"Kikyo if you hurt her I swear to god I'll kill you," hissed Inu-Yasha as bush through a
big bush and into a clearing. He gasped as he saw Kagome and Kikyo fighting each
other.
"Kagome!" screamed Inu-Yasha, but he knew what he did was a mistake. Kagome
turned her head to look at him and Kikyo made her move.
"Inu . . ." Kagome was cut short by a piercing pain in her chest. Falling to her knees she
saw an arrow had been planted in her left shoulder.
Inu-Yasha ran forward, and could do nothing but watch as three more arrows pierced
Kagome's body. She was covered in her own blood that soaked the grass with a crimson
red.
Kagome could feel her heart beating slower and slower as she was about to collapse to
the ground, but a pair of strong arms picked her up. She looked up into the eyes of Inu-
Yasha. Tears were rolling down his face, and he was biting his bottom lip trying to stop,
but he couldn't, the pain was to great.
"Inu . . . Yasha . . ." Kagome whispered.
"No . . . Please don't leave me,"
"I . . . love . . . yo . . ." Her head slumped to the side and her heart gave a final beat.
No sound was made except for the hysterical scream from Inu-Yasha, "No! Kagome!"

Chapter Fifteen
Back to the past
Sunlight flooded through Kagome's window lighting the entire room. As he sunshine
poured on Inu-Yasha's face and slowly started to wake him. Giving a low groan he
slowly opened his eyes as they adjusted to the light. Using his tongue he felt his fangs
had come back, and was relieved he was now half demon again. He lay on his side on
Kagome's bed, and looked down to see the sleeping girl in his arms. She had her hands
wrapped around him and her face on his chest. Inu-Yasha held her tighter, taking in her
beautiful scent. Leaning his head down slightly he pecked her on the lips, and smiled as
she mumbled something in her sleep. Taking a hand off her waist, he brushed her hair
off her neck before nuzzling it. He loved doing this to her now that she was his, and
since Kouga was out of the way and Hojo he had nothing to worry about that would break
them apart. Suddenly he stopped and raised his head to stare at Kagome's sleeping face.
Kikyo . . . Kikyo was the only thing that really stopped them from having true happiness
together. Burying his face into her black hair, he started to think, ^How am I going to be
able to rest her in peace without being dragged to hell? I could kill her, since it really
isn't the Kikyo I once knew, it would be more like killing a puppet, or would it? I've
sworn to protect Kagome, but I swore to protect her too^ Inu-Yasha's thoughts were
interrupted as her heard a small groan, and the woman in his arms slowly stir.
"Good morning," yawned Kagome as she stared into the golden eyes of Inu- Yasha's.
"Good morning to you too," whispered Inu-Yasha as he wiped strands of hair out of her
face.
Kagome leaned forward and kissed Inu-Yasha on the cheek. Before she could lye back
down Inu-Yasha pulled her into a passionate kiss, his tongue ravishing her mouth.
Rolling on his back and not breaking the kiss, Kagome was now lying on top of Inu-
Yasha. They broke apart for air and just stared into each others yes.
"I love you," whispered Kagome as she combed Inu-Yasha's silver hair with her fingers.
"And I love you," said Inu-Yasha as he pulled her in for another kiss. '
Kagome's one hand was still tangled in his hair while the other one found his ear and
started to rub it gently between her fingers. Inu-Yasha started to purr, and Kagome
could feel his chest vibrating underneath her. One of Inu-Yasha's hands slipped under

my story, I'm not the perverted!!! Just good old making out!) It was then that Inu-Yasha
remembered he still had to mark Kagome as his. Removing his lips from hers he started
to nuzzle her neck, his hands still on her back. Taking a deep breath he whispered in her
ear, "This might hurt a bit,"
Kagome knew what was going to happen, and prepared herself for the pain. Inu-Yasha
really didn't want to do this, but he had to. Leaning closer to her neck, he stopped at a
place just below her ear, opened his mouth and bit into her neck. Kagome gasped at the
sudden pain she felt, but it actually wasn't that bad. Her breathing had started to go fast
and her arms were so tight around Inu-Yasha's neck she was afraid she would suffocate

"You okay?" asked Inu-Yasha.
"Never better," smiled Kagome.
There was a knock on the door as Kagome's mom entered the room. "Morning you

"Good morning mom,"
"It's time that you two should go now,"
"So soon?" asked Kagome a the thoughts of last nights event crept back into her mind.
"Yes dear, before the police arrive and start questioning you,"
Kagome nodded and got off Inu-Yasha to stand up and hug her mom. Inu- Yasha got up
and stood behind her.
"Grandpa and Sota are downstairs waiting to say good bye to you,"
Kagome sadly nodded and headed to the bathroom to brush her hair. She would just
wear her pajama's and then get a miko outfit from Kaede when they returned to the
feudal era. While Kagome was getting ready, Mrs. Higurashi decided to have a little
chat with Inu-Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha, I want you to take good care of my daughter while your gone,"
"Of course I will,"
"Thank you,"
"I promise I will protect Kagome with my life,"
"Kagome also told me you two plan to get married,"
Inu-Yasha didn't know what to say, he wasn't sure if Mrs. Higurashi would like him in
their family. "Yes, that's true,"
"Well, you'll definetly have to have a ceremony here once it's safe for you two to
return,"
Inu-Yasha nodded and heard the bathroom door open as Kagome stepped out. "I'm
ready,"
Inu-Yasha smiled and walked with her outside to the old well house where her grandpa
and brother were waiting. Kagome said her good byes before she hopped on Inu-Yasha's
back and went through the well.
**************************************************************************
Sango sighed as she stared up at the morning clear blue sky. It had been a bit boring the
last few days without Kagome and Inu-Yasha around, but she at least had Miroku to
keep her company, and Shippo as well. Kiara was lying on her stomach curled up in a
ball as the small demon slept quietly. Smiling Sango laid her head back down on the
grass and stretched her arms as she watched the clouds roll by.
"Sango!"
Looking up, she saw Miroku walking towards her carrying his staff.
"Hello Miroku," said Sango and allowed the monk to peck her on the lips. While Inu-
Yasha an Kagome had been gone, Miroku had confessed his love to Sango and was
relieved that Sango felt the same way. Miroku laid down beside her and stared at the sky
with her. "What are you thinking?"
"Wonder when Kagome is going to be back,"
"Don't worry, they should be coming back soon,"
"I know, it's just been so . . . dull here with out them,"
"I'm rather offended that you find me boring," said Miroku.
"Then do something exciting to cheer me up,"
Miroku smiled slyly as he pushed Kiara off of Sango and started to kiss her
passionately. Kiara gave the two lovers a small growl before wandering off to find
Shippo. Just when things were about to get interesting, they heard a gasp. Miroku got
off of Sango to see Inu-Yasha standing a few feet away from them with Kagome on his
back.
"Well, well, well," said Inu-Yasha, a great big smirk on his face, "Looks like were not

Kagome nodded in agreement since she was giggling with the stunned looks on Miroku
and Sango's face. Not to mention the two were blushing like crazy.
"So what happened with you two?" asked Miroku as he got to his feet and helped Sango
as well.
"We'll explain in the village," said Inu-Yasha.
Miroku nodded and they all headed to Kaede's village.
**************************************************************************
"I see, so you and Kagome plan to build a house in your forest,"
"Yes," said Inu-Yasha. He had just finished explaining the situation to Sango, Miroku,
and Shippo while Kagome was getting her miko outfit from Kaede in the other room of
the hut.
"I can't believe you actually confessed your feelings Inu-Yasha, and here I was thinking
you would stay a two timing . . ."
"You looking for a fight monk?"
"Uh . . . no, not at all," stuttered Miroku.
"Didn't think so, anyway, today I'm going to get started on our house today,"
"Mind if we help?" asked Sango.
"Why?"
"Well if we help you with your house, then you can help us with ours," said Miroku,
wrapping an arm around Sango's shoulders.
Inu-Yasha sighed, "Well I guess we could do that. Miroku, you and I will work mostly
on the hut, Sango and Kagome can work on the gardens and furniture,"
"Sounds like a good plan to me," said Kagome as she came out of the other room. She
was dressed in a miko outfit like Kaede, but had her hair hanging freely down past her
shoulders. "Shall we get started?"
"What about me Inu-Yasha? What can I do?" asked Shippo.
"Uh, you can help Kagome and Sango,"
"Okay," said Shippo.
The group headed into the forest and started to search for a clearing. Finally they found
one near the god tree. It was well off from the village, close enough to the well, and had
a stream near by with fresh water that lead to a lake near by for bathing.
"Perfect," smiled Inu-Yasha, who had his arms wrapped around Kagome's waist.
"Well, let's get started," said Kagome.
Inu-Yasha and Kagome grabbed stones and started to layout the area of the house.
When that was finished, Kagome and Sango started to work on the garden while Inu-
Yasha and Miroku cut down trees. Unknown to the group, they were being watched by a
very unhappy prestress. She was amazed that Inu-Yasha hadn't picked up on her scent.
At first she watched the group wondering what on earth they were doing. Kikyo was
about to leave, but then she had seen Inu-Yasha kiss Kagome and she had almost lost it.
"That reincarnation of mine does love that half demon. Well it's not like this changes
anything, Inu-Yasha will still go to hell with me, and my reincarnation will die,"
With that, Kikyo disappeared into the forest, being followed by her soul catchers.
**************************************************************************
The sun slowly started to set in the west as the day came to an end. Miroku and Inu-
Yasha lay exhausted by the almost completed hut. They were quite amazed on how
much they had accomplished in one day, all they had left to do was the flooring on the
bottom floor and windows on the top floor for the two bedrooms. Sango and Kagome ha
actually planted one garden for vegetables and another for flowers. Kagome had quickly
snuck back to her world to get the seeds without being noticed by her family or anyone
for that matter.
"Well, I guess we should head back to the village," panted Miroku.
"I agree," added Shippo and Sango.
"You guys go ahead, we'll spend the night here," said Inu-Yasha.
"Are you guys sure?" asked Miroku.
"Yes, we'll be fine, you two head back, we'll be fine,"
Miroku nodded and they headed back to Kaede's village while Inu-Yasha and Kagome
headed inside there new home. Kagome gasped since he hadn't been in their home yet,
and was getting a personal tour by Inu-Yasha. They had lanterns all over the home to
light the inside since the windows were not made yet. Wrapping his arms around her

There were sheets in the corner for hammocks until they could get some real bedding,

"In here is our sitting room, for when we get company,"
Kagome smiled leaned against Inu-Yasha's strong chest. She couldn't believe this was
happening to her. It was what she had always dreamed about.
They headed up the stairs which lead to two doorways. Going to the one on the left, it
was quite big. "This is where our pups will sleep,"
Kagome almost wanted to cry in happiness, but she held her tears back as Inu-Yasha
lead her to the other room. It was the same size but had real bedding on the floor and
candles were lit all over the place.
"And this is our room," Inu-Yasha whispered in her ear as he started to nuzzle her neck.
"It's so wonderful," whispered Kagome. She almost yelped in surprise as Inu-Yasha
suddenly picked her up and carried her to their bed. As he laid her down, he started to
kiss her again, more passionately then before. Kagome didn't know what he was
planning, but she didn't want him to stop. As they parted for air Inu- Yasha started to
nuzzle her neck again while his hands roamed her back.
"Inu-Yasha?" Kagome said in barely a whisper.
"Hmm?" he mumbled.
"I thought we were going to wait until we were married?"
"I know, but I want you tonight,"
Kagome blushed ten shades red and started to feel tense, but she relaxed as Inu-Yasha
started to nuzzle her neck again. As Kagome laid back down she froze.
"What's the matter?" asked Inu-Yasha.
"I . . . I know this sounds crazy . . . but I sense a jewel shard," whispered Kagome.
"That's . . . that's impossible,"
"It's really close by," Kagome got up and headed downstairs to outside with Inu-Yasha
at her heals. Running outside it was now completely dark as Kagome came to stop and
pulled the sacred jewel out which was hanging around her neck and it was glowing.
"How can there be another jewel shard? I thought we got them all," hissed Inu-Yasha.
Kagome looked at the jewel and gasped. On the very top was a piece that didn't seem to
be part of the jewel. (Okay, now here is where I might get in trouble. While reading the
Episode Guides of Inu-Yasha, I read one where Naraku had the ability to make fake
jewel shards or something like that. Now I don't know if this is true or not. So if it isn't,
let me know and I should be able to think of something)
"I don't believe it! One of the shards is a fake one made by Naraku!" gasped Kagome.
"Impossible! We destroyed him, so his fake jewels should have been destroyed!"
"It's quite possible that after our battle with him Kouga could have found one at
Naraku's castle," suggested Kagome.
"But then . . . who would . . ." Inu-Yasha sniffed the air and froze.
"What is it?"
"It's . . . Kikyo," Inu-Yasha said in barely a whisper.
Kagome ran to their house only to grab her bow and arrows before taking off into the
trees.
"Kagome wait!" cried Inu-Yasha as he followed her, but was immedialty stopped as he
hit something and was thrown back. Getting to his feet he growled, "Damn! It's Kikyo's
spirit shield! What the hell am I going to do?"
**************************************************************************
Kagome ran as fast as her feet could carry her. ^I can sense her, she's close . . . very
close^ Kagome thought as she ran through the trees. Finally she came to a clearing and
there she was . . . Kikyo. The dead prestress was surrounded by her soul catchers, and
like Kagome she was wearing her usual miko outfit and had a bow and arrow.
"Well, if it isn't my reincarnation," said Kikyo coldly.
Kagome could see that Kikyo a sacred jewel shard in her right shoulder, ^If I hit it with
my arrow, then I should be able to get it^ thought Kagome.
"I see that Inu-Yasha and you are together, which is something I do not agree with,"
"We don't really care what you think," hissed Kagome. "Why don't you just return to the
after life? There's nothing for you here, your dead!"
"Maybe so, but I refuse return to the after life with out Inu-Yasha,"
"Then you'll have to get passed me in order for that to happen,"
"As you wish," smiled Kikyo as she reached for her arrow.
"You'll have to be faster than that!" cried Kagome as she fired an arrow out Kikyo.
Kikyo narrowly dodged the arrow and smiled as she stared at Kagome, "You are pretty
good, even though you must remember that you are only a reincarnation, and nothing
more,"
"Shut up! I may be your reincarnation but I'm nothing like you! Sure I may have your
powers too, but I am me! Kagome Higurashi!"
"What a touching speech," Kikyo said in barely a whisper, "However I have no time for
this,"
Moving at the speed of light, Kikyo lunged forward, grabbed Kagome by the shoulders,
and hit her with her miko powers in a blinding flash of pink light. Kagome cried out in
pain as she could feel her flesh burning from the attack and was thrown back, hitting the
ground hard, but eventually skidding to a stop.
"Is this all you can do, stand there," hissed Kikyo.
Kagome slowly got to her feet. She could feel the rage building up in her body, ^ I will
not lose to her^ thought Kagome. Concentrating on her power, she started to glow soft
pink as her miko powers started to grow stronger. Reaching for an arrow, she lunged
forward and fired at Kikyo. Leaping to the side Kikyo was still hit in the left arm and lost
concentration of the spirit shield.
**************************************************************************
Inu-Yasha had his Tetsusaiga drawn and was trying to break through the shield, but he
was having no luck. Just as he was about to give up, a hole appeared in the shield.
Taking his only chance, he leapt through the hole and followed Kagome's scent. He
growled slightly since he could smell a little of Kagome's blood.
"Kikyo if you hurt her I swear to god I'll kill you," hissed Inu-Yasha as bush through a
big bush and into a clearing. He gasped as he saw Kagome and Kikyo fighting each
other.
"Kagome!" screamed Inu-Yasha, but he knew what he did was a mistake. Kagome
turned her head to look at him and Kikyo made her move.
"Inu . . ." Kagome was cut short by a piercing pain in her chest. Falling to her knees she
saw an arrow had been planted in her left shoulder.
Inu-Yasha ran forward, and could do nothing but watch as three more arrows pierced
Kagome's body. She was covered in her own blood that soaked the grass with a crimson
red.
Kagome could feel her heart beating slower and slower as she was about to collapse to
the ground, but a pair of strong arms picked her up. She looked up into the eyes of Inu-
Yasha. Tears were rolling down his face, and he was biting his bottom lip trying to stop,
but he couldn't, the pain was to great.
"Inu . . . Yasha . . ." Kagome whispered.
"No . . . Please don't leave me,"
"I . . . love . . . yo . . ." Her head slumped to the side and her heart gave a final beat.
No sound was made except for the hysterical scream from Inu-Yasha, "No! Kagome!"
