Ok, ok. Chapter 3 is here! Oh, btw, this is a really short story. I mean
really short! You know that disclaimer, don't own, wish I could have
Sesshomaru though.
Chapter 3
"Ah, don't scare me like that when I'm half asleep." Kagome told Kouga. They were at the lake. Kagome was on her belly trying to take a nap. Kouga had poked her sides.
"Sorry. Listen Kagome. I want to talk to you. You've been with me for some time now. Three months, I've counted it. Well, I want.Marry me Kagome." Kagome sat up quickly.
"Marry you? I have to go back home in a few months. Then I have to go to school." She was gasping for air.
"You can come and go, I understand. It would just mean the world to me if you had my children." Kagome nearly fainted.
"I can't have kids. I'm only 16. And I have school, I couldn't handle both at the same time."
"You don't have to. I'll wait till you finish school. We don't have to rush things. To show you that I'm really serious about this, I want to give you something." He reached in the bag he kept at his side. He handed Kagome a box. He opened it and showed her a jewel shard that was inside. "It's the last piece to the sacred Shikon Jewel. I thought you should have it. I love you Kagome."
"Kouga.are you sure about this?" "As sure as I'll ever be. I want you for my wife Kagome." Kouga smiled at her. She smiled back.
"Alright then. Let's get married." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"A young priestess huh?" Inuyasha asked the little boy. The boy nodded. "She was wandering in the village, she looked very bad. She had many injuries and was very sick. We took her to see the village doctor; there was nothing he could do. She passed away the week after she arrived."
"What was her name?"
"It was Kikyo, she was young and very pretty. I could take you to her gravesite if you like."
"Please." Inuyasha followed the young boy. They walked to the top of a small hill. There was a stake in the ground to mark where she was buried. There were so many flowers on the grave. All around the perimeter of the grave were flowers growing wildly. The boy knew why Inuyasha was there, and left him to think. He couldn't take it, the loss of Kikyo. The woman he loved so dearly was gone. He stayed at her grave till dark.
He knew it would be hard on him, having to find her and bury her. He never imagined it would be like this. He climbed the highest tree. "Kikyo!" he yelled. How could she leave him like that? How could she bind him to that tree? Why did she? He already had his revenge on Naraku but it wasn't enough. Inuyasha was in pain, and looking to take it out on something, or someone perhaps. Every firefly that flew by him, he swatted at and killed. Every cricket that chirped, he stepped on. He started running. He ran so fast the wind couldn't catch up with him.
He knew where he was going. "Kagome, Kagome. Lord Kouga, protector of his dear people. The lord and lady of the village." He said sarcastically. "The young demon and his woman. Kagome, Kouga's wife.I'll have you!" He ran faster. The sun was coming up and he didn't care one bit. He ran though the day, trampling flowers and crushing small animals. He could smell her. He could smell Kouga. He neared the village at a speed not even he knew he could go. He followed Kagome's scent. He reached the large house and knocked down her wall. She was sitting down, writing. She looked up in shock.
"Inu.yasha?" She said, her voice trembling.
"Kagome." He said. He smirked at her. The smirk turned into an evil grin. He came to her and picked her up.
"Inuyasha! Put Kagome down!" Kouga was at the door. "I thought I smelled you."
"Kouga, it's been a while hasn't it? I'll just take Kagome and leave."
"Like hell you will, not if I have anything to do with it." Kouga clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Inuyasha smiled and ran off. He didn't look back for a minute. He could smell Kouga behind him. Inuyasha ran in circles for a while, to distort Kouga's sense of smell. Kagome was crying all the while. Inuyasha finally lost Kouga and set Kagome on the ground. She looked up frightfully. Inuyasha went to touch her face and she winced at his hand.
"Don't touch me Inuyasha." She said strictly. Inuyasha was shocked.
"Kagome?" He said. She scooted farther back from him.
"Get away from me! Go away, I don't want to talk to you." There was a sense of fear in her voice. Inuyasha walked forward to her. "Sit." He fell to the ground. She ran off while he was under the spell. The spell wore off and he ran after her. She hadn't gone far, the spell lasted only a few seconds. He found her in no time; he grabbed her and took off. He threw her into a lake to make her come to her senses. "What was that for?" She scowled up at him.
"You needed to calm down, all you did was wiggle and try to get away the whole way over here. "
"Could you blame me? You just came out of nowhere and took me from my home! You tore down one of my walls for crying out loud! How was I supposed to act?" she got out of the water and pushed him in.
"What was that for?"
"To wash off your negative energy." She said. He reached out and pulled her in. She slapped him. "Behave Inuyasha." She was quiet for a moment. "Why did you come for me? Is something wrong?" She looked at him with innocent eyes.
"I.I missed you Kagome. I haven't seen you for so long now. That and I um.I." he lowered his voice. "I found Kikyo." Kagome turned around to face away from him.
"Oh, I see. Then what do you want me from now that you have Kikyo. I'm sure I'm no good to you. I'm.going home."
"Kikyo's dead Kagome. I found a village and talked to a young boy. He took me to her grave. So I came looking for you, I don't know why." He held Kagome by her shoulders. She looked away ready to cry.
"You need to go out on your own.to think about things. Go back to the mountains. I know your heart needs to heal." She started to walk off. "Come back for me then. Goodbye Inuyasha." She walked off. He knew there was nothing he could do to stop her. The wind picked up and blew flowers all over him. He watched Kagome walk off into the setting sun. Kouga appeared out of nowhere. He hugged Kagome and kissed her forehead. They walked off and faded into the forest.
