Apart of Me ~Inu fic by Kiyoushi
A/N: This is a new story I came up with as I was reading someone else's story. It will turn out inu/kag, I only write inu/kag stories. What's weird is I've never read anything like this, but I was still motivated by a certain fiction where Kagome blows up and leaves and InuYasha whispers "I love you," a little too late. That's just how I am. I hope everyone likes it. PLEASE review! I really, really, really, really need you to review. If no one reviews I won't post the next chapter. I mean, why write when no one wants to read this? HUH? You tell me...this is only my second inu-fic and I'm not very good at this... don't hurt me if you don't like it, constructive criticism, hai, yelling your ass off for my lack of smartness because of this fiction, no. I understand yelling if you like it and want me to continue but not because you don't like it. Arigatou to you all for reading this and don't forget to review!
Apart of Me
'I love him', she admitted for the millionth time. The question of why she stayed with him if he was just going to break her heart had come up again and this time she was going to lose him forever, to a soul-less bitch for that matter. Why is this not unusual? Because it always happened this way. He would do something nice for once and she'd bring it up later and he'd deny it., nothing new there, but this time, when he said he would protect her from Kikyou, it never happened, when he promised not to leave her, he had, and that was why she was alone, again.
"Don't make promises you can't keep, InuYasha," Kikyou had said, and she was right, you should never ever promise something you neither wanted nor could keep. It hurt the person you promised it to, it caused them to lose their trust in you.
"HAHAHA!" a sinister laugh rang through the forest, the aforementioned miko appeared in the clearing across from the young school girl, sitting on a large rock.
"This isn't the time to be laughing, Kikyou," Kagome retorted calmly without turning to face the older miko.
Making the decision to talk to her younger self, Kikyou took her place beside the young miko and placed a consoling hand on her shoulder, an uncharacteristic soft smile lifting her face from her earlier scowl. "You, girl, love InuYasha?"
"Hai," Kagome sighed disdainfully. She knew that this information would be bad in the wrong hands, yet this time it felt...right to talk to Kikyou. Hell, she was only admitting the obvious to herself.
"Do not worry, he cares for you, just... not as a wife or mate. Thus maybe you should move on."
"Follow your own advice, Kikyou." She answered harshly, the hand on her shoulder tensed.
"You certainly are rude, little one..." she sighed. "I am only here to talk, I promise not to hurt you."
"Sure, and I hate InuYasha with all my being! Like I would believe that!" she seethed.
"No, I didn't think you would believe me, but I am here, only to help."
"I don't see how you could help me now, Kikyou," she said sadly. "I'm not you, you're not me, and I have nothing to change that, I just wish..."
"That InuYasha would love you as much as he loves me?"
"Exactly."
"He could." A smirk on Kikyou's face grew, she knew Kagome probably would refuse but she knew that she would eventually oblige.
"That would be to let you have my soul?"
"Precisely, my darling, you and I are one anyways, so why not let me have my soul back, and we both may have InuYasha."
Kagome considered this for a moment, the thought of InuYasha loving her made her somewhat happy, she'd do everything to make sure he knew she loved him, and this would be it. "I'll ask InuYasha... no, I'll do it. If InuYasha loves you, he'd be happier with you, more useful to him, more important to him than I'll ever be. He'd be happy and you'd happy and you could get the Shikon no kakera. together." A string of tears flowed down her pale face. "And with me gone, it would be so much easier."
Kikyou took her face in her hand with an inward smirk; she knew Kagome would obey if she came when the time was right. She gently stroked away her tears and kissed her forehead in a motherly way, the way she had always, deep in her heart, wanted to kiss her children and with Kagome's soul, she would be able to. "No, Kagome, you wouldn't be totally gone, you'd be apart of me, like you had been before you were born into this body, after my demise."
Kagome was shocked by the motherly was Kikyou had kissed her, just like she was addressing her wounds, which in a way, she had. Her decision was made, and she wasn't turning back, if she had to be apart of Kikyou to get InuYasha, that was what she was going to do.
"Would you like a little time, my dear?" Kikyou asked sweetly.
"Iie, Kikyou, I am ready now, I'd better do this while I have the courage," she replied and smiled. Kikyou stood and Kagome did also. A hand was raised to Kagome's chest and Kagome closed her eyes to wait for the expected transformation.
****** A small Kitsune hopped from the brush nearby Kagome and started to wail, "Kagome! IIE!"
She opened her eyes and smiled sadly, the sparkle already gone from her eyes, and breathed her final words, "Sayonara, Shippou, I love you. Tell minna that I loved them, and tell InuYasha. this was for him." She let her eyes float back closed as Kikyou smirked. She held no resistance. If she knew getting her soul back would be this easy, she would've done it earlier.
Her hand, Kikyou's hand, started to glow green, Kagome's hand came up and laced it's finger's with hers instinctively as she heard Shippou's wails to stop. To stop meant to let InuYasha tear her heart apart again, this way at least part of her was going to have InuYasha. Their locked hands grew more blue as Kagome's soul made it's way to Kikyou, to become whole. The girls' body finally collapsed and was caught by Kikyou, her eyes opening to reveal two beautiful brown glistening orbs.
"It would be time to return to InuYasha, ne Shippou?" Kikyou asked, her voice soft and melodious like Kagome's just in Kikyou's body. The kit wondered what changes would be when they returned to the rest of the inu- tachi. Just then a herd of soul stealing youkai approached her, yet she shooed them away, the souls that were stolen floating back to where they belonged. That was it, Kikyou was alive... truly and fully, and the once active young woman in the miko's arms was now...
Dead.
*****
"I wonder what has happened with Kikyou-sama and Kagome-sama," Miroku wondered as he spotted the soul stealing youkai retreating, utterly surprised there was no yelling or screams of complete pain. A small fur ball, orange as it was, bumped into his legs, crying.
"What is it Shippou?" Sango asked, picking up the small Kitsune.
"Kagome.*gasp* and Kikyou.*gasp* and she.*huff* and they," he stuttered, trying to get his crying under control.
"SPIT IT OUT BRAT!" InuYasha yelled.
"IT'S YOUR ENTIRE FAULT YOU......... YOU BASTARD!" Shippou yelped and started to cry again. InuYasha looked startled for a moment before yelling some more.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?"
"YOU DUMBASS!"
"BAKA KIT! IF YOU'RE SO SURE IT'S MY FAULT WON'T YOU MIND TELLING ME WHAT THE HELL I DID?!?"
"YOU MADE HER LOVE YOU! SHE WOULDN'T BE GONE IF YOU DIDN'T MAKE HER LOVE YOU!"
"I DIDN'T MAKE ANYONE DO A DAMNED THING ASSHOLE!"
"HAI YOU DID! YOU MADE KAG--"
"Such language, especially for you my Shippou!" a woman gasped playfully.
Everyone turned around to see beautiful glittering brown eyes, loose ebony hair, a slightly sun-tanned face, a kind smile, and a red and white clad young woman that kind of looked like a criss-cross-crisis. It was Kagome, in Kikyou's clothes, with Kikyou's hair and...
"Kagome?"" InuYasha questioned. "What's wrong with Kagome?" They all glanced down at the limp flesh that was Kagome's body that Kikyou carried.
"There is nothing wrong with Kagome."
"What do you mean, she looks...dead."
She smiled even more and cocked her head, her long raven hair swishing in the wind. "In a way, she is."
"NANI?!?"
"She and I are one, like we were supposed to be all along. And do you know why she gave her soul to me?"
"Why THE FUCK WOULD SHE DO SUCH A THING?!?"
"Because, InuYasha, she loved, wanted, and needed you. Seeing that you wanted me, Kikyou, she gave me her soul and now...I live, and am able to be with you... forever."
"She loved...me."
