The Bargain of a lifetime: Chapter 6 The trials of Inu-Yasha and Kagome

"So what should I do that would make you almost be in as much pain as the wenches death?" Sesshoumaru thought out loud. Upon hearing this, Inu-Yasha was realizing that he was going to have to do alot of things that would keep him swallowing his pride. "First of all, I think that you should say 'Lord Sesshoumaru is better than me in every way' and then maybe I should make you kiss Kagome just as she is getting up, and finally, after you done those things I will ask her one question, depending how she answers, I may either let you live, or kill you. That is if she says no."

Stunned, realizing all that his brother had asked, he put his head foward and mumbled something. "What was that brother?" smirked Sesshoumaru. Realizing that he wanted him to yell it out, "Lord Sesshoumaru is better than me in every way!" yelled Inu-Yasha, now feeling his pride shatter.

Smirking, Sesshoumaru said "Now before I wake her up, I am only going to tell you this once, you must kiss her and then go thru that doorway."

You will still hear her answer, but if she says no a spell will activate and you will be cut into pieces without saying a word.

Agreeing, Inu-Yasha gulped, then Sesshoumaru swung his tenseiga, revived Kagome form death, surprised at how she was alive what happend next surprised her even more, as Inu-Yasha kissed Kagome. Stunned Kagome watched Inu-Yasha go into another room followed by Sesshoumaru and heard Sesshoumaru swipe with his sword and two thumps. Kagome now crying "Why did you kill him?!?!?!"

Sesshoumaru now seeing what his brother meant to her, said "If you would like, I will tell you the some of the same things I told Inu-Yasha." Looking proud of himself, "First I had him admit that I was better, and he did." Seeing the girls stunned face, he continued "Then I told him would you trade your life for hers. As he agreed I also said that he would kiss you as I resurrected you, then go into the other room where I would finish the trade."

Stunned and crying, she silently said, "Why did you do that? You traded your life for mine." Apon hearing this, as on que, responded, "Would you rather that he lived and you died? You know I can make that happen." said Sesshoumaru. Sadfully Kagome replied, "Yes...." Now smilling, "Well than, as I reserect Inu-Yasha, you will then kiss him and agree to be his mate. Then I will strike you down" Apon hearing this Inu-Yasha clenched, he now knew what his brother was doing. Following Sesshoumaru, Kagome entered the room only to see Inu-Yasha, full of both love and fear, looking back at her.

As if reality hit her she screamed "SIT!" then looking back at Sesshoumaru, she was about to explode, when she noticed him tear a partchment off Inu-Yasha's back." Now confused Kagome said "What was that?" Surprisingly Inu-Yasha replied, "If you did say no the partchment would have cut me in two. And..." Kagome then interupted the hanyou with a kiss and said, "Will you be my mate?"

Inu-Yasha was shocked as Sesshoumaru let them leave, he knew he would either die or leave with a shattered pride, but what his brother did made no sense. Seeing Inu-Yasha in deep thought, reminded her of what had happend, he would sacrifece himself for me, but his answer to the question she had asked made her realize how much they meant to each other, as they went back to the others fighting as usual.

When they returned, what they saw surprised them, Kagome was alive. All of the others cried as they all looked at her and asked what happend. Still stunned, they listened to both Inu-Yasha's part of the story and then to Kagome's part. They had left out the answer to the question because of the effect it would had and they both started arguing.
