A/N - sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry that I have not updated in such a
long time I promise that the next chapter will be shortly after this.
Last time
When one arrived they quickly gave them instructions "Bring this to the chief Lady of the Northern Lands. Not Sango but Kagome. Tell her that it is of great importance. She will know who it is from."
"Yes Madam."
This time
"So, Kagome, where have you been?"
"None of your business, Inu Yasha,"
"What is the matter? Everyone has been mad at me since you left and I have a feeling that I am the only one that doesn't know something that the rest of you do."
"Well..maybe you are the only one who doesn't know. I guess that is not very fair."
"Damn straight!"
"Well, I told you that Kikyou was injured by a daemon."
"Yes,"
"And that I tried to save her,"
"Yes,"
"And that the daemon got a hold of her remains and constructed a body with them to house her soul and do their biding,"
"Yes, God damn it! Get on with the story!"
"Jeeze you are so impatient! Anyway that was all true but I was succeeding in healing her when..."
Flashback
"Kagome, don't, don't heal me, leave me to die,"
"Why Kikyou?"
"It is my destiny to die now. I have a bigger part to play in this world when I am dead."
"Kikyou, we need you here, alive. There must be something I can do to convince you to let me heal you,"
"Kagome listen to me! I need you to do this for me. When I die I need you to make sure you burn me with this," Kikyou holds up a small packet.
"What is it?"
"That is of no concern right now. This is important Kagome, promise me you will do this,"
"Kikyou I can't, you are my sister. My flesh and blood how can I just sit back and let you die?!"
"I already told you Kagome, it is my destiny, now quit being such a hardheaded fool!"
"How, how do you know that this is your destiny? How do you know that you are supposed to die now?"
"....I have seen it Kagome. In my dreams I have seen this. Please you have to trust me. I was destined to be killed like this just like I am destined to be reborn."
"I trust you Kikyou, but I can at least make your death less painful." Kagome used her powers to lessen the pain of the death while life war slowly leaving Kikyou.
"Good bye Kikyou"
"Good bye sister, I love you"
"I love you too," Kikyou said as the last bit of life drained away from her, and Kagome burst into tears.
End of flashback
"Do you now under stand Inu Yasha?"
"Yes, but what was the packet for?"
"It was herbs used to make sure that Kikyou would be reborn in that body of clay with her memories and soul intact."
"But if they worked why is she such a bitch, and with Naraku?"
"Because, you fool, do you think she wants Naraku to know that she remembers everything when she was supposed to be under his control."
"..Look, Kagome, I am sorry,"
"What was that? I don't think I heard you,"
"I said I am sorry! Jeeze you like putting me in this state don't you?"
"Yes it is very amusing for me," she said turning to leave the room.
"Kagome,"
"Yes," she said turning around.
"I want you to know that I don't blame you. And that I missed you while you were away. I had five hundred years to think of what you meant to me."
"And what did you come up with?"
"You mean the world to me, I was contemplating on going to find you but I thought that if I did that would only make you more mad than you already were,"
"Inu Yasha that is so sweet and I want to thank you for respecting my wishes and not coming to get me,"
"Look, Kagome I know this is spur of the moment but I want to ask you: will you be my mate?"
"......................................"
"Kagome, Kagome, Kagome! Are you even listening to me?"
"Yes, but I thought that you loved Kikyou,"
"I thought I did but it didn't hurt as much when I found out that she had died as it did when I learned that you left me."
"Are you sure that this is what you want?"
"Yes, Kagome I am positive! Trust my judgment will you!"
"Yes Inu Yasha I will be your mate, but only if you will be mine as well."
"Yes Kagome I will." With that they left the room together to share the good news.
