Love Has No Boundaries
Chapter 11: Nice Dream
"Get your hands off me bitch!"
"Do you want to help your girlfriend or not?"
"She's not my girlfriend!"
"Ryoko this is not helping." Ayeka stood under the tree, hands on hips.
Kiyone and Ryoko emerged from their tent an hour ago and set to waking everyone up. Some how they had convinced everyone to get ready, except InuYasha. He was sitting in the tree, arms crossed. They let him sit there, but Ryoko got impatient and floated onto the branch that held him. She grabbed him before he knew what had happened and now they were arguing.
"InuYasha, stop acting like a child and come down from there. You know Kagome is waiting for us to help her. The least we can do is work together to get her back. We can discuss your romance problems later." Miroku was getting tired of InuYasha's attitude. He knew the half demon was in love with Kagome, but now was not the time to get into such discussions. It would only slow them down.
"Grr, shut up Miroku. What do you know? For your information I don't have any romance problems. I can handle things by myself." InuYasha glanced down at Miroku. Ryoko slapped InuYasha across the back of his head. "Ow, stop that bitch." He jumped towards her and she flew backward into the air. He tried to catch himself on the branch, but it failed to support his weight, and he plummeted to the ground with a huff. He stood up, glanced at Ryoko, and growled.
"InuYasha calm yourself. We need to rescue Kagome. I'm guessing that you didn't have that talk with her or did you?" Miroku placed a hand on InuYasha's shoulder only to have the demon grab it and throw it off.
"Hey, she declared you as her boyfriend and you're going around denying it? What kind of boyfriend are you? Just admit that she's your girlfriend and things will be a lot easier for all of us," Huca said. She had also grown impatient with InuYasha. "Here he is, the cutest guy in the world, or perhaps universe, and one of the brightest girls in school is his for the taking, and he was ignoring her like a pile of dirt on the side of a road. What is his problem? Doesn't he see how much Kagome adores him?" she thought.
"Ha, easy for you to say. He's never going to admit that he loves her to anyone, because he can't admit it to himself." Ryoko floated to the ground a few feet from InuYasha who was staring at her.
"You are absolutely right Ryoko. InuYasha, we can all see how much you love her. Just admit it to yourself and you'll be a lot happier." Miroku noticed InuYasha glancing at him, flexing his claws. He decided to play it safe and took a couple of steps back.
"Would you all stop talking about me? I'm not in love with her, idiots. I don't even like her that much. Now can we all stop standing around talking about a love life that doesn't exist and go rescue her?"
"Yep, he's in love with her alright!" Ayeka said to Kiyone under her breath.
"I heard that and I'm not in love with her." InuYasha shot Ayeka and Kiyone a quick glance. "Now what was the plan again?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The forest was dark. Kagome spotted InuYasha through the trees walking away from her. He turned his head slightly in her direction then quickly snapped it back around, his silver hair swaying in the wind. She glanced up and noticed what had caught his attention, three demons swam overhead each carrying a soul. She then glanced down at InuYasha and noticed that he had taken off running, following the demons. She started walking in his direction then broke into a run. She stopped running when she saw InuYasha standing in front of Kikyo. They were talking but she couldn't hear their conversation. She didn't need to; she could tell by the way that they were staring at each other. Kagome watched as he grabbed a hold of Kikyo's shoulders and pulled her close to his body, wrapping his arms around her. Kikyo returned his embrace. After a few minutes, they released their hold on each other and stared into each other's eyes. InuYasha sighed and bent his head down close to her. His lips covered hers. They stood there locked onto each other for what seemed like forever.
Kagome glanced down, tears forming in her eyes. "Why InuYasha? Why?" she silently said as she bent her head down, her chin resting on her chest. She turned around and started walking away. "She wants to kill you and I don't want to see you get hurt again. Why InuYasha? I love you so much," she thought, braking into a run. As she tore through the trees, she couldn't help but remember the sight of them kissing. Tears were flowing like rivers down her cheeks, and before she knew it she had reached the Bone Eaters Well. She ran up to the well, leaned over, and glanced into the bleak abyss. She collapsed to her knees and hung her head low between her arms, which were on the well. Why was this happening? She knew he didn't love her, but why did he have to torment her in such a way? Did he like playing games with her heart? "No, he doesn't even know that I love him. Maybe I should tell him, but that would make things more complicated then they already are. I should give him the jewel and leave this world for good. I don't belong here. Everyone else would be better off without me. Its not like he needs me for anything other then finding the jewel," she thought.
Having made her decisions, she slowly stood up and turned around. Just outside the outline of trees stood InuYasha staring at her. Her eyes caught his, and she quickly glanced away. He slowly walked over to her. She reached inside her shirt and wrapped her hand around the small bottle in which she kept the jewel shards. She slowly removed her hand from her shirt. Once in front of her, she opened her hand and glared at the shards. All at once her memories came flooding back to her. She remembered the first time she saw InuYasha, how she broke the jewel, the first time he became human and what he had said to her, the first time InuYasha became a full demon, and the first time they met Shippo, Sango, and Miroku. She felt the tears forming in her eyes and tried to choke them down. It wasn't working. What was making it worse was that InuYasha was now right in front of her.
He lifted his hand to her face, placing it under her chin. He slightly nudged her head, begging her to look at him. She closed her hand and her eyes; tears flowed in rivers down her cheeks. After a moment, she opened her eyes and raised her head. Her eyes met his and he looked sad. He moved his hand from her chin and trailed his fingers over her face, wiping up the tears. She caught his hand and moved it in front of her. She pressed the small bottle into his hand and slowly closed his fingers around it. Once his hand was closed, she took her hands away, and he looked down, slowly opening his hand. He stared at the bottle for a moment, not quite comprehending what she was trying to tell him. She turned around and walked over to the well. He watched her go. She sat on the lip of the well, swinging her feet over the side. If he didn't do something, she would be gone in an instant. He jumped into the air, landing right behind her and threw his arms around her waist. She jumped a little, then relaxed when she realized he was hugging her.
"Don't leave."
"Why? I'm always in the way. I'm only good for finding the jewel shards. Besides I don't belong in this time."
"I..."
"If you can give me one good reason not to leave, then I'll stay."
"Kagome... You saw didn't you?"
"I saw everything InuYasha. Why did you leave her? Don't tell me it was because of me; I won't buy that."
He released his grip on her, placing his hands on her shoulders. He nudged her body to face him and slowly she turned around, swinging her legs back over the well. "You were crying. Did I hurt you that bad?"
"Why ask a silly thing like that? Can't you tell you hurt me?"
"I'm sorry. I had to hold her one last time. To feel her lips against mine." Kagome stared at him and started to turn away. He knelt down and threw his arms around her, stopping her in place. He continued, "I told her to leave me alone. I told her that I had given her my life, but right now there is another person who needs me more than she does. She's dead. Why was I holding onto a person who shouldn't exist in the physical world? You are the only one who cares about me. Answer me one question. When we finish collecting the jewel, what do you plan to do with it?"
Her heart jumped in her chest. Was he saying this? He's never been this caring before. Why the sudden change of heart? What was he doing? "I... I was going to give it to you. You're right; it is yours. I want you to know that whatever you choose to wish for, I will still be your friend and will never leave your side. We've been through thick and thin together, and I'm not about to stop caring about you because you decide to become full demon, human, or stay the same." She circled her hands around his head, letting her fingers slide through his hair.
"Why did you give the jewel to me? Were you planning on leaving me for good?"
She sighed. "Yes, I... I don't think that I'm ready to discuss my feelings with you. I'm afraid of what your reaction would be. Besides, I'm not sure that you are ready to hear what I have to tell you."
He relaxed his hold on her. She released his head, and he glanced up at her. "Kagome, don't leave me. Please don't leave me. I need you."
"You... need... me? Why? To find the jewel shards?"
"No... because I love you."
She awoke from a deep sleep and sat up. She glanced around at the darkness. She picked her right hand up and reached to the side. Her hand came in contact with a wall and she ran her hand over the smooth surface. "InuYasha?" There was no answer, only the deadly silence from before. "Was that a dream? It seemed so real. What happened to me?" she thought as she swung her legs over the side of the rack she had slept on. She placed her weight on her legs, and they quickly buckled beneath her, throwing her to the ground. For the first time, she noticed a growing pain in her stomach. She pulled herself back onto the rack and laid down. Nausea ran through her, and she turned to the side. Reaching down, her hands found a bucket, and she pulled it close to the bedside. She closed her eyes and slowly drifted back to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Gene and Domon had entered Kagome's cell to find her collapsed on the floor. They brought her to the room specified by Masaru and strapped her to the table. They moved against the back wall of the room and watched as Masaru entered and went over to her lifeless form. Masaru placed his hands in the air over her stomach and started chanting some weird verse in a foreign language not common to either of the witnesses. An orange light formed around his hands. Purple and white lightning bolts jolted from his outstretched fingers to her stomach. When the bolts touched her stomach, her body buckled from the power. Masaru kept the ritual up for just over an hour. Once he was finished he ordered Gene and Domon to take her back to her chamber.
"What did you do to her?"
"That is none of your business. I simply did something that should have been done a long time ago."
"Are you going to kill her?" Gene was worried about the fragile girl and he could tell that whatever Masaru was doing to her was not good.
"Not yet. First I need to see just how powerful she really is. It does no good to kill her if she's nothing but a weakling. I will have to perform that ritual a few more times to draw out all of her hidden powers. Not to mention that other thing she's hiding."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Tenchi? Where are you Tenchi?" Ryoko was flying near in the air around the spot that Washu had specified as the meeting place.
"Ayeka!" Sasami ran through the trees and into Ayeka's arms.
"Sasami, so good to see you." Ayeka said, patting her sister's head.
A few minutes later, Tenchi walked through the trees. Upon seeing him, Ryoko flew down and wrapped her arms around him. "Ryoko, stop it."
"Tenchi, oh Tenchi, how I missed you."
"How pathetic." InuYasha glared at them, arms crossed.
"Its kind of cute. Maybe you should take notes InuYasha." Miroku watched the display. He wished that he had a girl that would run to him and wrap her arms around him like that. Suddenly he saw movement behind the couple and he grew uneasy. He glanced at InuYasha and noticed that the demon had dropped his arms and was glaring at the newcomers.
Aisha walked into the opening closely followed by Susuka. Tenchi pried Ryoko's arms off him and backed away. He glanced around and noticed two guys and a girl that he didn't recognize. All three looked very agitated about the newcomers. He walked over to Aisha. At that moment, Ryo-Oki burst threw the trees, practically running Ryoko over. All eyes turned on the kabbit and then back to the two females.
"Calm down everyone. This is Aisha and Susuka." He pointed to each one upon saying their names. "Their partners have been captured as well, along with their space ship."
"Space ship? What's a space ship?" Miroku asked looking very confused.
"You don't know what a space ship is?" Sasami asked as she walked over to him.
"Uh, no I don't. There are no such things where we come from." Miroku watched her walk over to him. "It is too bad she is young," he thought, "other wise I would ask her to bear my children."
"Ha, he's just a stupid monk, and the other one is a stupid demon. What else should you expect from them?" Ryoko said then returned her attention to Tenchi. "What do they want with us?"
"Where's Mihoshi?" Kiyone asked looking around. She suddenly became very worried about her clumsy partner.
"I was about to kill her. She was so annoying. Then your friend here talked to some lady in a light, and they concocted a plan to get rid of her." Aisha said.
"You did what?" Kiyone asked, surprised but at the same time relieved and happy.
"Look Washu came up with a story about a Galaxy Police job that." Tenchi began before being interrupted with a beeping noise.
Beep, beep, beep, beep... Ryoko pressed a button on her watch. Everyone watched as Washu's figure formed in the space between them.
"Wow, big crowd. We don't need this many people here. Why don't some of you come here, out of the way?" Washu glanced around. She starred at InuYasha and Miroku.
"Oh no you don't. You won't get rid of me." InuYasha grabbed Miroku's shirt and dragged him to his side. "You won't get rid of him either. If you try you won't like the consequences."
"Ha ha, don't be silly. Me, try to remove a demon and his friend? You must think I'm crazy."
"You're a crazy bitch!" InuYasha shot out.
"I'm a genius." She continued scanning the crowd. "Sasami why don't you and Ryo-Oki come back here. If Ryoko needs Ryo-Oki she knows how to get in touch with me."
Sasami glanced at Ryoko then Ayeka. "Ok, sure. Come here Ryo-Oki." Ryo-Oki flew into her outstretched arms. Washu punched a few buttons on a keypad. Sasami and Ryo-Oki vanished.
"Alright, I can't remove any of the rest of you. I'll keep in touch." She vanished.
"Weird lady," Miroku said as InuYasha released him.
"Weird isn't the word for her. She's a crazy psychotic bitch." InuYasha walked over to Tenchi. He grabbed Tenchi's shirt and hoisted him into the air. "Who are you? What do you want with Kagome?" He pointed at Aisha and Susuka. "And what the hell do they want with Kagome?"
"Put Tenchi down." Ryoko threw a fireball at InuYasha, which hit him in the back. InuYasha didn't move, he just turned his head in her direction and flashed his fangs.
Miroku got behind InuYasha and hit him in the head with his staff. InuYasha dropped Tenchi and fell to the ground. "Grr." He stood up, throwing his face into Miroku's. "What did you do that for?"
Miroku brought his staff back around. "Because Kagome is not here to sit you. You're acting like an ass. Get over your jealousy toward other men over to Kagome."
"Who's jealous? I simply asked him some valid questions." InuYasha backed down and turned to Tenchi who had been plucked off the ground by Ryoko.
"Ryoko put him down!" Ayeka was suddenly standing right next to Ryoko with her arms on Tenchi's.
Ryoko smiled and hugged Tenchi close to her body. "Why Ayeka, you know that me and Tenchi were made for each other."
"Put me down Ryoko. Let me go." Tenchi tried to grab Ryoko's arms but she held him too close, and he gave up.
"Ha."
"Uh, ladies can't this wait for another time?" Miroku asked.
"Yeah, you two are pathetic." InuYasha added.
"You should talk." Huca said earning her a nasty glare from the half demon.
"Can we please get down to business? I would like to get Gene and our ship back so that we can get off this lousy planet." Susuka suddenly spoke up, surprising everyone.
"Your not from this planet? Weird." Miroku scratched his head and looked puzzled.
"If you ask me, they are all weird and crazy." InuYasha crossed his arms back over his chest.
"Who are you calling weird and crazy, dog boy?" Ryoko released Tenchi, but didn't let him fall to the ground.
"Grr."

"Ha, he's just a stupid monk, and the other one is a stupid demon. What else should you expect from them?" Ryoko said then returned her attention to Tenchi. "What do they want with us?"
"Where's Mihoshi?" Kiyone asked looking around. She suddenly became very worried about her clumsy partner.
"I was about to kill her. She was so annoying. Then your friend here talked to some lady in a light, and they concocted a plan to get rid of her." Aisha said.
"You did what?" Kiyone asked, surprised but at the same time relieved and happy.
"Look Washu came up with a story about a Galaxy Police job that." Tenchi began before being interrupted with a beeping noise.
Beep, beep, beep, beep... Ryoko pressed a button on her watch. Everyone watched as Washu's figure formed in the space between them.
"Wow, big crowd. We don't need this many people here. Why don't some of you come here, out of the way?" Washu glanced around. She starred at InuYasha and Miroku.
"Oh no you don't. You won't get rid of me." InuYasha grabbed Miroku's shirt and dragged him to his side. "You won't get rid of him either. If you try you won't like the consequences."
"Ha ha, don't be silly. Me, try to remove a demon and his friend? You must think I'm crazy."
"You're a crazy bitch!" InuYasha shot out.
"I'm a genius." She continued scanning the crowd. "Sasami why don't you and Ryo-Oki come back here. If Ryoko needs Ryo-Oki she knows how to get in touch with me."
Sasami glanced at Ryoko then Ayeka. "Ok, sure. Come here Ryo-Oki." Ryo-Oki flew into her outstretched arms. Washu punched a few buttons on a keypad. Sasami and Ryo-Oki vanished.
"Alright, I can't remove any of the rest of you. I'll keep in touch." She vanished.
"Weird lady," Miroku said as InuYasha released him.
"Weird isn't the word for her. She's a crazy psychotic bitch." InuYasha walked over to Tenchi. He grabbed Tenchi's shirt and hoisted him into the air. "Who are you? What do you want with Kagome?" He pointed at Aisha and Susuka. "And what the hell do they want with Kagome?"
"Put Tenchi down." Ryoko threw a fireball at InuYasha, which hit him in the back. InuYasha didn't move, he just turned his head in her direction and flashed his fangs.
Miroku got behind InuYasha and hit him in the head with his staff. InuYasha dropped Tenchi and fell to the ground. "Grr." He stood up, throwing his face into Miroku's. "What did you do that for?"
Miroku brought his staff back around. "Because Kagome is not here to sit you. You're acting like an ass. Get over your jealousy toward other men over to Kagome."
"Who's jealous? I simply asked him some valid questions." InuYasha backed down and turned to Tenchi who had been plucked off the ground by Ryoko.
"Ryoko put him down!" Ayeka was suddenly standing right next to Ryoko with her arms on Tenchi's.
Ryoko smiled and hugged Tenchi close to her body. "Why Ayeka, you know that me and Tenchi were made for each other."
"Put me down Ryoko. Let me go." Tenchi tried to grab Ryoko's arms but she held him too close, and he gave up.
"Ha."
"Uh, ladies can't this wait for another time?" Miroku asked.
"Yeah, you two are pathetic." InuYasha added.
"You should talk." Huca said earning her a nasty glare from the half demon.
"Can we please get down to business? I would like to get Gene and our ship back so that we can get off this lousy planet." Susuka suddenly spoke up, surprising everyone.
"Your not from this planet? Weird." Miroku scratched his head and looked puzzled.
"If you ask me, they are all weird and crazy." InuYasha crossed his arms back over his chest.
"Who are you calling weird and crazy, dog boy?" Ryoko released Tenchi, but didn't let him fall to the ground.
"Grr."
