By The Light Of The Moon
Chapter5: Kiss Of Destiny
*************************************************************
'Kagome!' Mrs. Higurashi thought. Something was definitely wrong. A mother's intuition is a powerful tool, not something to doubt. Right now her intuition was flaring, her heartbeat flutter, and her fingernails drew blood as she clenched her fists. The blood mixed with sweat as spasms rose to her throat. She couldn't breathe, she couldn't speak, the lack of oxygen hindered her thinking capabilities and she fell to the floor due to her weakened knees. All she knew was that Kagome needed her, and that she needed to get to her fast. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'I have to try to free Inuyasha.' She thought "A kiss!" she shouted.
"Huh?" Inuyasha asked but was cut off when she grabbed him and...Kissed Him!!!!
Kagome had grabbed his hair and smothered his mouth with hers. She had never really kissed a boy before, only once, but on the cheek, and that was a long time ago. But it never had felt like it did now. Her soft lips had pressed against his small, tougher lips, but it was surprisingly sweet. They both never wanted to end. It was like a spell had run through their bodies, rooting them from the ground. It had the same feeling when you watched fireworks, or hit a home run, or when you had tripped in the cafeteria and everyone laughed, your stomach does this little flip-flop and your cheeks burn.
Kagome could've stayed kissing him for the rest of eternity, if he would've never started burning her lips. She cried out and pulled back. She turned her head away, the hunters were blinded for a moment, and a moment was all Inuyasha needed to get them out. He grabbed her and jumped into the trees above the hunters. He put her down and they ran, they ran and ran and ran, until they could run no more.
"Now, the as for the Shikon Jewel, give it to me!" Inuyasha ordered as they had finally outrun the hunters.
"What jewel? I don't have any jewel." Kagome protested.
"You are the Vampire Queen, now where is that Jewel?" he yelled again, advancing upon her.
"I don't have any jewel and I am no Queen or a Vampire." Kagome was beginning to think she was either insane or crazy.
"Foolish girl." Inuyasha said and attacked her with razor sharp claws. She fell to the side and she screamed when his nails dug into her side.
"At last, the Shikon Jewel is mine." Inuyasha opened his blood-stained fingers and a small gem lay in the middle of his palm. He looked back at Kagome and grabbed her by her neck and lifted her off the ground.
"How does it feel? T o be betrayed by the only person you ever loved, to be killed by the only person who you thought loved you?!" he cried in anger and squeezed her throat.
"I'm...I...I'm...Ka...Ka...go...me..." she choked out.
"Damn!" Inuyasha cursed and threw her down. No matter how hard he tried he couldn't bring himself to kill her.
'It must be true, this girl is not Kikyo.' He thought as he sat down next to her.
'They look exactly the same, but she is different, she has something Kikyo will never have.' He brushed the hair away form her face.
"I promise to protect you, instead of bring harm to you." He whispered and kissed her forehead. Then, cursing himself for being soft towards a pathetic human he picked her up.
"You will be safe with the witch." He said and took her back to Kaede's. *************************************************************
"I prefer to be called Kaede, instead of 'The Witch.' that is quite rude." Kaede said as Inuyasha walked into her hut with Kagome in his arms.
"Huh?" asked Inuyasha, surprised.
"Although I am what must people crudely refer to as a witch, I do not enjoy upholding the title, and I have been watching you for 50 years, don't think that I will stop now, I will forever be watching you." Kaede said and sipped her tea.
"Give her this, make sure she swallows it." Kaede said handing him a vile of black fluid.
"You aren't trying to poison her now?" Inuyasha questioned, but he still grabbed the small bottle.
"Of course not you dim-witted fool." Kaede snapped.
"I most certainly am no fool." Inuyasha protested and rolled his eyes.
"Although a fool is better than a witch." He said.
"Do not test my powers boy, you will be very sorry, I may not be as strong, or as powerful as Kikyo, but I still have what it takes to send you to hell." She spat out.
"Kikyo did send me to hell, but this little girl stole me back out." Inuyasha said and pointed towards Kagome.
"No, that was not hell, that was close, but I will give you hell, now, give me the Shikon jewel, it is mine by right of birth, Kikyo had no daughters, so it passes onto me." Kaede said and opened her withered hand.
"You think I am actually going to respect your family honors?" Inuyasha said darkly.
"Yes." Kaede said simply.
"Think again old hag." Inuyasha said.
"You are bound to my family's honors, by marriage, or have you forgotten?" she asked darkly.
"Of course not, how could I forget, the marriage that would bring them all together, that would breed and entirely new species. Half vampire, part human, and part demon, said to have been better than the son of Satan himself, the marriage between the Half Prince, and the Vampire Queen." Inuyasha snarled.
"You are bound to my family, you are my brother, and I am your sister." Kaede said simply.
"I'll never be part of your family." Inuyasha vowed and jumped through her roof.
"You will be back...brother." Kaede said.
