The Bet
Chapter Sixteen: It Was Fate?
By: Candy2323
"Do you think that they'll ever talk to each other?"
"Yeah Sango, I'm sure they will. Look, you and I know they're meant for each other. It'll just take some time for them to realize it. Think of this as just another bridge to cross or a stone to step over to get to where they need to be."
"But Miroku, you saw the way he looked when he left. He was so hurt."
"Well, what Kagome did was wrong, but I truly believe that she made that bet before she met Inuyasha. She doesn't come across as the kind of girl that would want to hurt people just for fun, like Kikyo."
"Yeah you're right. Speaking of the bitch, where is she?"
"Who cares. You wanna dance?"
"Yeah sure."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can't believe they did that! Just when everything was going perfect, Kikyo though as she trudged through the football field on her way to her house to change out of the sticky mess she used to call her clothes. What the hell is this stuff anyways? Kikyo picked up a glob and sniffed it. Doesn't smell poisonous. She tasted a small portion off of her finger. Cherry?
"DAMN YOU TWO!!!!!"
Kikyo again started heading home, grumbling things that sounded like sawing hands off dead monks and chopping hair off boomerang throwing freaks when she nearly collapsed onto the ground. Feeling her body shake uncontrollably, Kikyo looked down to see the poor small dog attached to her leg again, the cherry gunk not bothering him in the least.
"NO! GET OFF," Kikyo yelled as she jumped up and began shaking the dog off of her leg, only problem is this time the dog was determined to stay on come hell or high water! Kikyo hopped on one leg while shaking the other in failed attempts. Too bad she wasn't watching where she was going.
*BAM*
The lid to a dumpster shut with Kikyo and the horny dog inside. Fate was definitely not on Kikyo's side tonight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can't believe she'd do something like that. I though she was different. I guess not, though, Inuyasha thought as he walked along the beach, a small wind blowing his wild hair into his face. He ignored it and continued to walk, hands dug deep into his tuxedo pockets. He stopped feeling a small amount of deja'vu. Looking down, he turned toward the ocean and saw one of his and Kagome's footprints in the sand. They were from the night they stayed up to watch the moon. It's been nearly two weeks and they're still here⦠well not anymore. Inuyasha started kicking sand in mounds on top of the footprints trying to make them disappear. When they were good and buried, he continued down the beach. I really thought that she cared for me.
*She does care for you. You're just to hurt to see that at the moment.*
"Who said that?"
*I did. No one else can hear me, but you.*
"Well how do you know that she didn't just use me to win that damn bet?"
*Because I know my daughter very well, and I know she's not capable of doing things like that.*
"HER FATHER? B-But you're dead!"
*That doesn't mean that I don't check up on her from time to time.*
"Oh God, I think I'm going insane! I'm hearing voices from dead people!"
*Did you ever stop to thin why I died?*
"Because you were at the wrong place at the wrong time?"
*No, because fate meant for you two to be together.*
"Meant for us to be together? What the hell does that mean?"
*I died so that Kagome could come here and meet you. Your mother died so that you would need comfort for when Kagome arrived. Understand?*
"It was fate?"
*Yes Inuyasha, it was fate. You and my little girl were destined to be together.*
"Well did fate have to be so damn cruel! I mean look at the situation we're in now! And this is fate's doing? Come on now, that's a little hard to believe."
*Inuyasha this is your choice. You can either embrace fate now and go talk to Kagome or you can walk away and live the rest of you life wondering if your life could've been different. The choice is up to no one else but you. Talk to Kagome, see what she had to say. Get everything straightened out. For her sake and yours as well.*
"This is still a little hard to believe, you know."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can't believe that it's over now, Kagome thought as she walked along the beach. She stopped to look at the moon, drawn to its beauty. Tears started to cascade down her cheeks again as she walked to the shoreline. So this is how my life is going to be without Inuyasha in it. It's just not worth living. I really wish my dad was here to help. Kagome collapsed on to the ground crying into her hands.
*Hush Kagome, please don't cry.*
Kagome lifted her head out of her hands looking. I know that voice! "D-daddy?"
*Yes Kagome, it's me.*
"Oh daddy, where are you."
*Honey, I'm dead and in heaven.*
"Oh daddy, I've missed you so much! Things have gotten so messed up around here. I really needed you!"
*I know sweetie, I know, and I'm sorry that I could be there in the flesh, but always remember that I'm in your heart.*
"Oh daddy, I missed you so much! There is so much that I wanted to tell you, but I never got the chance!"
*I know! But honey I'm only going to be here for so long. I need you to listen to me very carefully.*
"Ok daddy," Kagome said sniffling and wiping her eyes.
*I need you to tell your mother that I love her very much and not to worry, things are going to get much better very soon. Tell Souta not to hide his feeling, but to let them out or else one day they'll get the better of him.*
"Ok daddy."
*And Kagome, I want you to embrace fate. It's through fate that you are here and you met Inuyasha.*
"Daddy, didn't you know. He hates me! After all that I've done to him, he'll never speak to me again!"
*Trust in fate Kagome, trust in fate,* The voice echoed as it faded into nothingness.
"Daddy, daddy! Please, what does that mean!?!" Kagome fell to her knees and started crying again. Her whole world was falling apart. And to top it all off, what did her father mean fate? Fate is what screwed up her relationship with Inuyasha, wasn't it?
"Kagome, Kagome is that you?" Kagome looked up to see Inuyasha running toward her. Tonight was it. Tonight was the night that would change their lives forever. Either they would embrace fate the way that they should, or they would spend the rest of their lives wondering what would've happened if they did.

Done with that chapter. Now do you see why I put the murder and the father daughter relationship in? I hope that this chapter cleared things up for everyone! Next chapter will be the final chapter! Don't forget to R&R! Thanks! Bye!
