(I hope I didn't make you all too sad, you will be very pleased with this
chapter though I'm almost sure of it (ill give u a hint... Kaite + death =
Kagome, why? Well read on and you'll see.), btw and fyi I originally planed
to call this chapter Die Another Day, then I named it Lady Luck, then I
changed it back, so here's what I ended up with, Lucky Death Day, oh yea, I
no, im cool)
Chapter 7- Lucky Death Day
Kaite wouldn't hear another word his father said. InuYasha tried to convince his son there was another way, although in his heart he knew there wasn't.
"Son, Kagome wouldn't want you to die for her. Your purpose in life has to be greater then sacrificing yourself for Kagome." InuYasha pleaded again. Kaite wouldn't hear it.
"Papa you're only making this harder for me. I know Mama will miss me, and you will miss me, and so will Mai. But... I need to do this. To show Mama how much I care." Kaite said as he began to sniffle.
"But... but..." InuYasha stuttered, then he stopped and kneeled down and hugged his son tightly.
"I'll miss you Papa." Kaite said sobbing hard into his father's shoulder.
"I'll miss you more, my son." InuYasha said getting emotional to a point where it was scary.
Miroku, Sango, Rin, and Sesshomaru went upstairs to retrieve the other children. They found Mai sitting on the top step staring on the floor. Rin leaned down in front of her, lifted up her chin and stared straight into Mai's eyes. Rin saw her eyes were wet and her face was grim. She looked upset beyond words.
"Auntie Rin... I..." Mai began.
"Stop, don't say anymore. Sesshomaru go and get Kari and Ken..." Rin said before she realized that her children were standing in the doorway nearest her, "Kenji and Kari go downstairs with your father and Sango, Miroku and Tominari, all right?"
The children nodded solemnly. Sesshomaru placed a hand on his wife's shoulder then followed the others downstairs.
"Mai, your brother, he..." Rin stopped, now at a loss for words.
"He knows so much because he's special. He's the most powerful demon in all of Feudal Japan! He told me, and he has 3x as much miko energy as Mama has. Although he's untrained, he knows more then me. I love him very much. I talk with him and he listens to me. Like my Papa's dad, he could be ruler of the Western Lands. (I got this from all the other fics I read, I have no clue if its true or not)" Mai stopped and sighed, "I don't want to lose him. He can't go, he just cant..." Mai sobbed. With the last word she said she ran downstairs and hugged Kaite as if when she let go, he'd perish in her arms.
"Kaite don't go." She whispered into his ear.
"I have to sister. I have to." Kaite said facing his sister, he kissed her on her cheek and spoke softer and kinder, "I need to begin, please, Mai. I love you, but you need Mama, and Papa needs her too. So let me go." He said slowly and stared into her eyes, she saw that there was no guilt or shame in his eyes on sadness and confidence.
Mai let go; InuYasha picked up Mai and held her close to him. The others held back their loved ones from running to Kaite. Kaite then began chanting a few complicated miko spells, much more powerful then any of Kagome's spells.
This miko here,
She's close to death,
She's weary and out of breathe,
Near the Gates of Heaven she is,
Call her back,
Call her back!
This miko here,
She needs my help,
For her life,
I give up mine,
For her soul I give up mine,
Selflessly I sit right here,
Waiting for you to answer my prayer.
I, son of InuYasha, Kaite,
Am this miko's son,
Give this miko back to me,
Take my life, my soul, my air,
Give it to my mother here.
Oh Ruler of beyond this world,
I chant to you,
I offer you my own soul,
To return her life to new,
Will you allow her back?
(I made this up myself I hope you like it, I only hope it centered itself, I'm still not familiar with the html coding tools -_-;;)
Kaite stopped, looked up, opened his eyes, and sprinkled some white powder on him and his mother. Suddenly his eyes went blank, his face went white, his body limp. He fell backwards, unmoving, and then a small glowing orb left his mouth. It floated away up high into the air. Shocked no one spoke, they barely noticed as Kagome opened her eyes very slowly. She lifted her sore body up from the ground and looked at the ceiling where everyone was staring, and then slowly she looked at the ground and gasped.
"My boy! My son! Kaite wake up!" Kagome shouted frantically.
InuYasha set his daughter down and hugged Kagome tight. Kagome began to cry, "What, what happened?"
"He died saving you." InuYasha said quietly.
"No, that cant be, it just cant be." Kagome cried.
Kagome pried herself out of InuYasha's grip, she kneeled over her son, "Kaite wake up, come on get up, please get up." Kagome began sobbing harder, she picked up her son, she held him and rocked him, he just wouldn't wake. "Kagome, look!" Rin and Sango both shouted pointing to the orb that was still floating in the air. Another orb had appeared next to it, this new orb was bigger and purplish.
The purple orb came down and stared at Kagome, and then it spoke, "Your son, is selfless, brave, and caring. He is strong and willful. He is needed here in Feudal Japan. It is not his time to die; this was merely a test, had you not cried for him, we would not allow him back. This was to see if he was strong enough to fulfill our intentions for him, and to see if you would want him back."
The other whitish orb floated back into it's body. Kaite blinked a few times and sat up slowly.
"Mama, are you okay?" Kaite asked. He never got a reply, his mother was hugging him to hard.
(You guys aren't crying are you?)
