The Fortune Teller

Chapter Two

Inu-Yasha's Fortune

Part 2

Last Time:

"Alright now I'm really confused," mumbled Inu-Yasha. "Is this a dream?"

Staring at the humming happy Kagome and his surroundings, it finally hit him like a

tone of bricks. "Of course! This must be future,"

Kagome suddenly stood up and headed off into the trees.

"Hey wait up!" cried Inu-Yasha as he followed her, wondering where she was going.

**************************************************************************

Inu-Yasha caught up to Kagome easily, and walked by her side like he usually did when

they were traveling. Staring at the girl beside him, he started to wonder why she was

wearing a miko outfit instead of her usual weird clothes. She always hated wearing the

clothes in the feudal era, so why was she wearing them now? Inu-Yasha sighed, and then

noticed there was something different about Kagome. Leaning forward a little bit, Inu-

Yasha noticed she looked different . . . older. Then he noticed some weird markings on

her necks. Dodging a tree Inu-Yasha realized that they were bite marks.

"Someones claimed her . . ." Inu-Yasha whispered out loud to himself. "But who?" Inu-

Yasha started to feel his anger building up. Clenching his hands into fists, he growled so

low and loud it would have scared anyone.

"I'll kill the bastard who's taken my Kagome . . . wait! My Kagome? When has she

ever been mine?"

Inu-Yasha looked down at the women beside him. She looked so happy, and full of life.

"Well, who ever she's with, she must be very happy," mumbled Inu-Yasha in a defeated

voice, his ears droopping slightly.

They finally came to a huge clearing where a two story wooden house was standing.

Inu-Yasha stopped in aw as he stared at the building before him. It was well built and

looked almost perfect to be real. Inu-Yasha continued to stare at the house, wondering

how the hell it ended up in his forest. Looking back at Kagome who was walking to the

home, he realized that this must be where she was living. Inu-Yasha caught up to

Kagome and followed her inside the house. It was cool inside than it was outside in the

hot sun. Inu-Yasha stared at his surroundings as he glanced at Kagome the odd time

putting the flowers she picked in a vase. The room was medium sized and had a fire

place in the corner with a table in the middle of the room. Shelves were all over the

place with bags of food, herbs, and all types of utensils for cooking. He even recognized

a few from Kagome's era. Inu-Yasha watched Kagome and felt this odd feeling come

over him. *Why is it when ever I look at her, and makes me want to reach out and hold

her as if she'll disappear if I don't?* Inu-Yasha shook his head, trying to erase the feeling,

but for some reason he couldn't. "What is this feeling I have towards her? And why am I

thinking of it now?*

"Where is he?" said Kagome all of a sudden.

Inu-Yasha woke up from his thoughts to see Kagome looking out one of the windows, as

if she were waiting for something. There was a small creak that came from upstairs that

made both Inu-Yasha and Kagome look up.

"Finally he's awake," sighed Kagome. She disappeared into the other room, and Inu-

Yasha followed her immediatly.

The next room was a small bedroom which Inu-Yasha guessed for when Kagome and

her husband had guests, and in the corner was a stair case that lead to upstairs. Inu-

Yasha followed Kagome up the stairs and stopped in his tracks when he reached the top.

The room was medium sized and had a door on the left, but in the middle was a small

boy lying on his bed. The boy looked no older than six, had black hair with white

streaks, and had fuzzy white dog ears on his head. Kagome was knelt down beside the

boy, who was yawning to reveal his white fangs.

"Morning Travis," smiled Kagome as she took the boy into her arms.

"Moring mom," yawned the boy who opened his eyes. Inu-Yasha noticed they were

golden, and that he had claws just like him. The kid was wearing an outfit similar to Inu-

Yasha's but, instead of it being red, it was a dark blue. Kagome carried the boy down the

stairs. Instead of following, Inu-Yasha went into the next room to see if maybe his theory

was true. Pushing back the blue curtain, he stared into the room. It was the say size as

the last one, but had a lot more stuff in it. A bed was in the middle, and Inu-Yasha

recognized a dresser in the corner which he knew had come from Kagome's time.

Walking in, Inu-Yasha noticed that there were pictures covering the entire walls.

Stepping into the room he started to look at the pictures. The first one was a gigantic one

of him, Miroku, Sango, Kagome, Shippo, and Kiara standing in front of the god tree.

They were all smiling as Kagome held out a completed Shikon No Tama.

"So we do find all the peices," It was then that Inu-Yasha noticed that Miroku didn't

have his prayer beads on his right hand, "We defeated Naraku too,"

Moving on, the next picture was about the same size, but it was of Miroku and Sango.

They were surrounded by people and Inu-Yasha noticed that he and Shippo were in the

background cheering. "So Miroku and Sango are married,"

The next picture was even bigger than the last two. Inu-Yasha almost couldn't breath . .

. it was a picture of him and Kagome in her era. She was wearing what looked like a

white Kimono, and he was wearing a weird black outfit. Kagome's mom, Grandpa, and

brother were in the background. Inu-Yasha leaned more closer to the picture wondering

why he was arm in arm with Kagome, and why they both looked so happy. Glancing to

the next picture, Inu-Yasha noticed that him and Kagome were kissing!

"Then that must mean . . ." Inu-Yasha stared around the rest of the room. They were

just pictures of him and Kagome on the remaining walls, building there house, Kagome

being pregnant, and of their son. Inu-Yasha fell to his knees and stared at the floor

"I . . . I can't believe it . . . all I'll ever dreamed of in a life . . . is going to happen," Inu-

Yasha mumbled to himself. *This is so hard to believe. I never thought someone could

love me . . . a worthless half breed. I only thought Kagome saw me as a friend . . . but i

guess i was wrong. Kagome and I are mates, and we have a son . . . I never thought I

could be a father* thought Inu-Yasha.

Standing up, Inu-Yasha headed downstairs to find Kagome sitting at the table with the

boy. They were both eating, and Kagome seemed to keep staring at the winow.

"When's papa coming home mama?" asked Travis.

"Soon sweety, he just had to go visit your uncle for a sec,"

"Do I get to see Uncle Sesshoumaru and Auntie Rin?"

"No sweety, I'm afraid not,"

Travis scrunched up his face in a pouty look, and Inu-Yasha noticed the boys ears

twitching. The kid looked so much like him, and even kind of acted like him. Inu-

Yasha's thougths were interruppted as he heard a noise near the door way. There,

standing in front of the door . . . was Inu-Yasha (Well the future Inu- Yasha if you follow

me).

"Darling," sighed Kagome as she got up from the table, and kissed her husband

passionately. "How is your brother,"

"Fine, I'll talk to you about that later,"

"That's fine,"

"PAPA!"

The future Inu-Yasha picked his son into his arms and placed him on his shoulder. The

present Inu-Yasha stared at the scene before him, it was like a dream come true, "So this

is what my life is going to be like?"

Suddenly, everything turned black. Kagome . . the boy . . . his future self . . . and the

house were gone, Inu-Yasha was left in complete darkness. "What the hell is going on?"

"That is only one of two possiblitlities that could happen," said a voice.

Inu-Yasha immediatly recognized it as the fortune tellers. "What do you mean?"

"For you see, for that future to happen, you must admit to Kagome how much you love

her,"

"Or what?"

"She will leave you and you would go to hell with Kikyo,"

"What? Show me what would happen to her!!"

"IT will cost . . ."

"I don't care! Just show me!!!!" screamed Inu-Yasha.

"Very well,"

Inu-Yasha was then covered in white light and closed his eyes. When he opened them,

he noticed that he was in a different scenery. He recognized that he was standing in the

middle of the shrine grounds that Kagome's family runned. Inu-Yasha could hear the

traffic roaring by down below and weather was the same as in his other vision. He could

see the god tree close by as he walked to Kagome's house. Sniffing the air, he could tell

that no one was home, but let himself in anyways. The house looked the same as it did

the last time he had seen it, but it smelled a whole lot different. He could pick up

Kagome's scent, but there was also another scent . . . a man's scent. Inu- Yasha growled

as he started to search to home, trying to see any clue of what happened to Kagome. He

made his way into the living room where there were pictures hanging along the walls that

he didn't recognize. Walking towards them, Inu-Yasha growled lowly, his hands

clenched into fists. They were of Kagome . . . and her husband. Inu-Yasha recognized

the man as Hobo, or Hoho or whatever Kagome called the boy she went to school with.

There were pictures of them getting married, holding each other, and kissing. It just

made Inu-Yasha sick and furious., but he did see something different about Kagome in

each one of the pictures. She looked sad . . . and unhappy. In each picture she rarely

smiled. Inu-Yasha suddenly felt this sadness sweep over him. Without him there, she

was sad. It was then Inu-Yasha realized that the expression on Kagome's face in the

pictures, was the same expression she had when ever he ever had a run in with Kikyo.

Placing his hand on the wall, Inu-Yasha stared at the floor, lost in his own thoughts *Is

this what will happen if I don't tell Kagome what I feel for her? She'll marry this loser,

and be sad her whole life?*

A noise at the door cause Inu-Yasha to turn around. Kagome enterd the room with her

husband behind her.

"That was a nice dinner," said the man, taking Kagome's coat.

"I suppose," mumbled Kagome. She was wearing a long jean skirt and a black tank top.

The man was wearing blue jeans and a blue T-Shirt.

Inu-Yasha couldn't take his eyes off Kagome . . . she looked so sad an depressed. He

watched the man walk up behind Kagome and wrapped his arms around her waste. Inu-

Yasha growled lowly as he lunged forward,"Get your arms off her!"

It however did no good as Inu-Yasha simply phazed throught them. Clenching his

hands into fists, Inu-Yasha watched as the man started kiss Kagome's neck. Turning her

around, the man kissed Kagome passionately on the lips, however, she showed no sign of

responding. The man stopped and stared at her, "What is it?"

"Nothing," Kagome whispered as she turned around, wrapping her arms around herself

and staring at the floor.

"Kagome this is ridiculous! We've been married for almost a year and you've been

acting so sad and distance ever since! What is wrong?"

"I told you, nothing,"

"Does this have to do with that two timing jealous boyfriend you had,"

Kagome didn't say a word, she just continued to stare at the floor.

"That's over with Kagome! You told me he left you for someone else! Forget about

him, he doesn't love you! If he did, do you think he would have hurt you so many times

when he cheated on you?"

Inua-Yasha didn't know what to think . . . was Kagome still in love with him . . . even

though he was in hell with Kikyo?

"I know . . . but . . ."

"But nothing!" the man walked forward and turned Kagome around by grabbing her

shoulders. "I love you Kagome! I would never cheat on you, call you names, or hurt

you!"

Kagome finally met the man's eyes, "Your right Hojo, I should just forget about him,"

Hojo nodded his head before kissing her passionately, and to Inu-Yasha's surprise,

Kagome responded. Inu-Yasha watched helplessly as Hojo picked up Kagome in his

arms and carried her upstairs, leaving him alone in the living room. Inu- Yasha collapsed

to his knees. Everything once again became dark, and a figure suddenly appeared beside

Inu-Yasha.

"So you see . . . that is what will happen if you don't tell Kagome how you truly feel

about her," said the fortune teller.

Inu-Yasha remained on his knees, and din't say a word.

"So, which path will you choose Inu-Yasha?"

The half demon finally spoke, "You know, until I saw those visions . . . I didn't realize I

had such strong feelings for Kagome . . . and when I saw her kissing that man, I felt like

something inside of me died,"

"Well what are you waiting for? Go tell her,"

"Just tell me one thing,"

"Yes?"

"What happens to the Jewel of Four Souls?"

"Kagome used it . . . to become immortal,"

"What?"

"She knew that you were immortal and that she would die before you, so she used the

jewel. Now enough talking, go and tell the woman you love how you feel,"

Inu-Yasha felt himself being sucked forward again into a bright light. When it finally

stopped, he landed in something soft, and water was some how falling on him. He

opened eyes to see that he was in front of the shack they had left Kagome and Sango at.

"But how the hell did I get here?" Inu-Yasha asked himself, scratching his head. Wiping

the thought from his head, he walked inside the shack to see Kagome and Sango sitting

around the fire, staring at the soaked half-demon.

"Inu-Yasha! What happened to you?" asked Kagome as she got to her feet and stood in

front of him.

Without a word, Inu-Yasha hugged the girl in front of him and held her tight. Kagome

was surprised as hell by the sudden movement, but returned the hug back.

"Kagome . . . there's something I need to tell you,"

TBC . . .
