"The Silent Voice"

By Night Youkai

Chapter 9

Kagome awoke in her bed feeling really sore. Her arm and ankle Really hurt to move them. She sat up and found Inuyasha asleep sitting up on the floor next to he bed. Just then her mother came in carrying a tray of food. "You're awake. You must be hungry after sleeping for two days."

"Mom how long has Inuyasha been here?"

"Oh the poor dear must have finally fallen a sleep. He hasn't left your side since he brought you home. He was so worried about you. He hasn't slept or eaten and hasn't said a word." She sighed as she glanced at the sleeping boy. Then she turned to her daughter and smiled. "He must love you very much, honey."

"I know he does. Mom I know he seems quiet, but he has his own way of talking." She remembered was while she slept his thought would float in and out of her dreams. She felt safe and warm in what seemed like the endless dream. "I'm sorry I worried everyone. Kikyo and I got in to a fight."

"Yes, Kikyo. . . her mother just called to say she was awake and recovering. I know she's family, but I think it's best if you stay away from her. Now you eat your soup and I'll come and get it when you're done." Kagome waited for her mother to leave before she moved the tray and got out of be. Inuyasha was still sound asleep when she crawled in to his lap. His heart was beating slow and steady. His arms came up and around her, pulling her closer.

'Kagome.'

'You awake?'

'Yeah. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. I should have been.'

'Kikyo was jealous of me and Naraku use it to his advantage.'

'I fear that may not be the end. He was humiliated when I defeated him at the finals. I don't want you hurt Kagome. Maybe we should part ways.' His heart ached more then anything at this thought but he had to protect Kagome. She was the most important thing to and he would be damn if he let Naraku hurt one hair on her head.

'No! I won't go and I won't let you leave me!' tears began to stream down her cheeks. 'I love you Inuyasha and you can't get rid of me that easily.' Kagome felt wet hot tears on her head. She did want to leave his side if she did her heart would surely die. She put a hand to his heart and felt great pain. Suddenly his memories went flooding through her mind.

"You're no Son of Mine! You're nothing but a worthless Hanyou!' the first time a baby's thought were heard.

'You think anyone is going to love you.' A child wanting love was careless shoved aside.

'You're a freak.' A small boy received a slap to the face.

'You bring shame on this family and this dojo.' 12-year boy gets hit repeatedly as he fail in his daily chores.

'You'll never be as strong as me.' The rantings of the man who rejected his request to be part of his dojo part of his life.

'Sesshomaru is my true son and Heir.' The place in the heart he could never have.

' I have no use for a Hanyou.' The last words this man ever spoke to him."

These were memories of his father.

"Hi My names Kagome! Don't look so sad. Here you can have my cookie. I have to go bye." A memory from when they were six years old. She had completely forgotten. Such a small kindness was his most cherished memory. Another tear rolled down her face as it unlocked many of eased memories. Memories of see a sliver haired boy glace at her with a sad longing. The longing to be loved by some one any one. Memories of bumping in to each other or just a small hello in the halls were coming to light. Years wasted. But she couldn't fault him for this. She could only try to make up for the time gone by and love him forever more.

'Oh Inuyasha have you always loved me this much?'

'Kagome I can't say how much I love you, because there is no limit. I want you with me always. At the same I'm a danger to you. Naraku has a black soul I could feel it when we battled. I just want to protect you.' He grasped on to her and grasped on to the hope she would never fade away. She snuggled in to his warm embrace and smiled.

'You can't protect me if we're not together. Beside how are you ask my to marry you if we're no longer dating.' Inuyasha's head shot up and his eyes were the size of small watermelons.

'What?' Kagome smiled, as that was then end of the argument.

*****

"Married. As in 'Till death do us part' married."

'That's what I said.' Miroku just stare at his life long friend before he started to laugh hard and out loud.

"Good one! Maybe I should just walk right up to Sango and say 'Sango, I love you and I always have will you marry me?' HAHAHAHA!"

"Okay." Miroku went in to complete shock. All blood ran from his face. He could swear he felt his heart stop. He slowly turned around and came face to face with Sango.

"O-O-Ok-kay? O-O-kay what?"

"Okay I'll marry you." Sango smiled sweetly. Inside she was laughing so hard, but deep in her heart she wished it were true. Maybe one day it will be one day, but today she got her self a boyfriend.

"Well Inuyasha look like a double wedding." Sighed Miroku. He turned to his friend and felt that he received a life sentence.

"Nope Inuyasha hasn't even proposed to me yet." Giggle Kagome.

"But you said."

'No I said that I couldn't ask Kagome to marry me unless we're together. So we've decided to date for a while. Then I'll ask her to marry me.' Inuyasha couldn't help but smirk as he watched as Miroku had painted himself in to a corner.

"Oh well. Hey Sango how about we date for awhile be for we get married?"

"Sure. I'd like that."

"Say Sango to you want to start training with me at the dojo. Inuyasha thinks that after that fight with Kikyo I should beef up a little. So how 'bout it? Miroku can be your sparing partner." Kagome asked.

"That sounds like fun when do we start?"

*****

"Well I have to say I like the idea of training with the girls in hand to hand." Miroku said as he stretch his arms and legs. Inuyasha's father had refused to teach Inuyasha because he wasn't perfect. Sesshomaru pitted his brother and started to tech Inuyasha and Miroku when his father wasn't around. Pity faded away to pride when Sesshomaru saw Inuyasha's skill improved and his determination grew. Miroku got to a point where he could no longer keep up with the brothers. He didn't stop training he just didn't with the Inuhoushi brothers.

'Yeah, I bet you do. Stay focus these lessons are for the girls' protection. Not so you can play touchy feel with you girlfriend.'

"Okay we're ready." Kagome announced as they entered the room. Inuyasha and Miroku went into a stammering stupor upon seeing the girls. Kagome and Sango were dressed in sport bras and stretch shorts. Their hair was tied up and sweatbands on ready to go, when suddenly the boys were both knocked unconscious.

"I see you girls learn the first rule of martial arts. Distraction: to keep your opponent off guard." Sesshomaru said as he stood over Inuyasha and Miroku. "It would seem I shall have to train you myself. As my brother and Miroku still have a lot to learn." Then he dumped a bucket of water on the two boys.

"What the. . . Are you tiring to drown us?" Shouted Miroku. Both boys came out of their unconscious state to see the dojo master standing over them.

"Now that you two are among the living, get out. These ladies have much to work ahead of them."

'What we're training them.' Inuyasha jumped to his feet in protest this was his idea and his girlfriend and he wasn't giving them up.

"Yes and you both lack focus when it comes to them. As master of this dojo I will train them. You two will see to dinner and preparing, homework and the baths. Everything Kagome did while you were in training. It's only fair. When you boys learn to focus, then you can join the sessions." There was no arguing with Sesshomaru. He had the form and presences that demanded respect and obedience. The boys left the dojo hanging their heads. "Well Ladies shall we begin?"

Kagome and Sango were both nervous. Sesshomaru had intimidating appearance being that he stood towering almost two feet taller then the two teenage girls. They swallowed the pride and looked him straight in the eye. They were not going to give into their fear. "Yes Sensei!"

*****

Two grueling hours later. "How did the girls do?" asked Sasami. She noticed her eldest son looked a little worn.

"Hey were excellent students. They're both very determined focused and extremely energetic. I found myself wearing out before they did. How did Inuyasha and Miroku do?"

"Well I had them wash and press the girl uniforms. Make dinner and prepare the baths as well as make study notes for school. You did say they had to do everything Kagome did?"

"Inuyasha is very lucky to have her."

"Yes. He and Miroku both care deeply for the girls. I find that after all is said and done this little stunt of yours will have them appreciating one another." Sasami smiled.

"If you say so mother." He kissed his mother on the head and headed for the bath.

Prologue

"Well brother I must leave you here. Naraku is fast upon my heels. After tonight you shall be the last of our line. You have father's sword and your mother's wand and last." the tall figure bit in to his wrist and drew blood. The small child drank of his brother's blood.

"You now have my strength." A small crescent moon appeared on the boys fore head then disappeared again. " Never forget you are inu-hanyou and that you are as powerful as any youkai. One day you'll reclaim our home, our lands and make our family proud. Until that day you must hide and survive in this dark forest. When you are ready to leave here go see a man named Dumbeldore. He will guide you to your fate. The older youkai scratched the little hanyou between his dog-like ears. The sliver hair child let out a small whimpers he moved his head closer to the caring hand. "I must leave you now else Naraku will find you."

"Sesshomaru-sama no go!"

"Inuyasha be strong my brother!" the tall sliver hair youkai disappeared in a flash of light leaving the small two year old hanyou all alone in the Dark forest.
