A Secret Love
Author's Note: Anyway, I did this to have some fun. I was thinking, what if Kikyo didn't exists in their lives (don't we all wish that?) and Kagome lived in Inuyasha's time? Well this is what this fic is about. And starting now their journey begins.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the characters, just this fic. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~* Chapter 13
Inuyasha scowled down at the young man that was talking to Kagome from where he and Shippo sat up in the treetops spying. He let out a grunt and crossed his arms, looking in another directing in anger and what could have been jealousy. The monk Kagome was talking to seemed to be very interested in her and was asking her questions about some guy named Onigomu. He had heard Kagome speak of some annoying kid once when they were younger by that name, but from what he knew, the guy had vanished and was strange enough as it is. "Who do you think that monk is? I've never seen him around?" said Shippo, looking at Inuyasha with great curiosity.
"Feh, he's just a houshi." He answered and stood up, stretching lazily. "Let's go get a meal until Kagome comes from us." He suggested. Shippo nodded and followed Inuyasha.
"I think Houshi likes Kagome, don't you?" Shippo asked brightly. Inuyasha scowled.
"He's just a lowly monk. He has no reason to go around flirting with young girls." Answered Inuyasha. They didn't even make it far before Kagome's scream could be heard. Inuyasha growled and stopped, and immediately ran toward the village. "But this one could be different." When they got to the village, Kagome was running into the forest.
"Get back here thief!" she screamed. Inuyasha ran after her and when he managed to catch up with her, he grabbed her around the waist and put her on his back. "Inuyasha!"
"What did he steal from you?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome didn't answer which made him growl. "Kagome!" he snapped. She let out a groan.
"He took our piece of the jewel."
"WHAT!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Would you look at what I found Haji. A young girl possessed this chunk of the Shikon jewel. I felt a little bad on having to steal it from her without giving her my name. or even getting to ask hers, but she was quick to attack me once I took the jewel." The badger in front of the young monk shook his head.
"How did you escape her?" he asked. The monk grinned.
"Ran for my life of course." He then stood up straight, pocketing the piece of the jewel. "I'm aware that there is a palace near here with a king of many daughters. So I'll be seeing you around my friend?" he asked. The badger demon nodded and transformed before flying off. The young man smirked and looked at the piece of jewel in his hand. 'This should catch your attention Naraku."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I'll rip his damn head off when we find him!" they were now going through a village and Inuyasha was crawling across the growl sniffing it like a demon. Kagome looked around nervously and blushed at her friend's actions. Shippo was sitting on Kagome's back, looking around nervously as villagers whispered and pointed at them.
"Inuyasha, get off the ground! You're embarrassing!" Kagome snapped at the dog demon. He suddenly jumped to his feet and ran toward a small palace. "INUYASHA!" They ran into the palace, Kagome close behind Inuyasha who broke down the door to one room where the monk was sitting. He was surrounded by a bunch of round (to be polite) women and seemed very distressed. They all turned around and he jumped to his feet.
"It's you!" he cheered and pushed past Inuyasha, taking Kagome's hands into his. "After being here, seeing you is like meeting an angel! You're a regular beauty." Kagome blushed and a wide grin crossed her face.
"You hear that Inuyasha! I'm like an angel." She piped. Inuyasha scowled and suddenly swiped at the monk's head, but he managed to duck it and ran out of the palace, Inuyasha close behind.
"Get back here coward!" yelled Inuyasha and pulled out Tetsusiaga. Inuyasha chased the man down into the forest and getting upset with chasing, he jumped through the trees and made his way in front of the monk. He dropped to the ground and grabbed the monk by the front of his robes and pinned him to a tree, pointing the Tetsusiaga at his throat. The piece of the jewel he had stolen fell from his robes. "Who the hell do you think you are!? First stealing our piece of the jewel and then hitting on Kagome!" he yelled. Kagome ran up to Inuyasha and tugged in his sleeve.
"Inuyasha, put him down!" she announced. Inuyasha looked down at her just to meet pleading drown eyes, so he obeyed. The young man fell to the ground and instantly clutched at his throat, gasping for breath. Kagome kneeled in front of him and smiled apologetically. "Sorry about my friend. Inuyasha can be a bit. territorial."
"Feh." Muttered Inuyasha and put his sword away. He turned away and crossed his arm, still keeping an eye and Kagome and the monk from the corner of his eye so as not to be too obvious. "Don't trust him Kagome. He may try to sweet talk his way into getting the jewel from you." He muttered. Kagome rolled her eyes and grabbed the piece of jewel the monk had stolen.
"Ignore him. He's part dog." Inuyasha scowled.
"It's alright. I can understand his concern. After all, I can see why he wants to protect such a lovely young woman. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Miroku."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So you're after some man named Naraku because he put some kind of curse on your family to have a void in your hand. Sounds tough. But why did you come around here looking for my mother?" They were all sitting around Kagome's house, Miroku explaining his purpose for stealing Kagome's piece of the jewel. They were all sitting and drinking tea, except Inuyasha, who was sitting off to the side, glaring at Miroku, who he still found suspicious.
"I have reason to believe Naraku had been to this village many times. And was raised here as a child." Kagome looked at Miroku curiously.
"But I've been here all my life and there was never any one here by the name of Naraku." Said Kagome. Miroku nodded his head knowingly.
"He went by the name Onigomu." Inuyasha stood up and gave Miroku a look.
"Hold it now. Onigumo is dead from what I know. Plus, how could he put a curse on your grandfather to go to your father and so on? He's about a year or two older than me. or was."
"Because Naraku reincarnated himself into the form of a child to keep from ever being discover. He supposedly set up the death of his reincarnated body, Onigumo, and went around as an unknown person."
"How do you know all of this?" asked Shippo curiously, from Kagome's side. Miroku let out a sigh, sitting his cup down and closing his eyes in thought.
"Before my father's time came, he informed me of all this. Naraku recently deceived some one in this village from what I hear. I heard a young girl was attacked by a demon to get the Shikon jewel. That's what attracted me here." Kagome blinked and Inuyasha frowned. "Do you know who it was?"
"It was us." answered Inuyasha and turned away, clenching his fists at his side. Miroku looked at Kagome who was now clenching her fists in her lap. "I can't believe this." he growled. Miroku then turned to Kagome for an answer.
"Not too long ago we had this strange visitor come into the village. He would always talk to me or want me around. One day Inuyasha and I had planned on using the jewel to turn Inuyasha fully human, but we were some how tricked into thinking one had attacked the other." She explained quietly.
"Naraku has the power to shift forms. that's how he managed to curse my grandfather." Miroku informed them. Inuyasha growled and punched the ground in anger.
'That bastard! He put us through all this pain for nothing!" he growled.
"And he probably has shards of the jewel, right?" asked Kagome. Miroku nodded.
"I've encountered him once and he was disguised in a white ape hood."
"That's him." said Kagome and turned to Inuyasha. "We're going to find him, right? Make him pay for what he's done?" she asked. Inuyasha nodded his head.
"Course we are. After all, he must have a little to do with the death of my mother those years back. You don't think I'm going to ever forgive anyone for ever taking her away from me, do you?" Kagome smiled at him and suddenly, Miroku got on his knees and took Kagome's hands into his.
"Miroku. what are you doing?" Asked Kagome nervously. He looked into his eyes with the most sincere expression.
"Kagome, you're such an understanding woman. and seeing that there aren't many of you around and with the condition I'm in. Will you bear my child?"
"WHAT!" yelled both Kagome and Inuyasha in shock, though Inuyasha was more out of anger. Miroku brought his arm around Kagome and pulled her close.
"You and I would make beautiful children together. And I feel it would only be fair since."
"Get your damn hands off of her!" yelled Inuyasha, jumping between the two of them, pushing Kagome protectively behind him. "What kind of monk are you!"
"Forgive me, I didn't know. I felt that you and Kagome were only companions. but it seems you're a lot more than that." He said. Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other before quickly moving apart.
"Its nothing like that. I just need her to get the jewel shards." Said Inuyasha and Kagome shoved him.
"Excuse me! But if I didn't inform you about all the uses of the jewel you wouldn't have to be around looking for it right now!" she snapped and turned away from him. 'Stupid, insensitive."
"What did I do now!"
"Well Inuyasha, a girl likes for a guy to be sensitive. which you aren't showing.."
"Exactly!"
"And gentle with both her emotions and body."
"You listening Inuyasha!?"
"Let me show you."
"Argh! Don't touch me!"
"I told you to keep your hands off of her!" Shippo sat in a corner of the room watching the whole scene, shaking his head in a knowing manner. He may have been the only child out of the bunch, but he was the only mature this group had.
