A/N I know that the last chappy was a little weird and some are wondering how Kikyo is pregnant. This chappy will tell it all O.K.
Chapter Three
Laughing at the sight of Kagome passed out in his arms, he tried to wake her up. "Kagome, wake up." Still unresponsive, 'well I guess I'll have to do the one thing that will work.' Picking her fully off the ground, he carried her to the river. "God's she's gonna kill me for this." Lifting her over his head, he threw her in. Within seconds her head bobbed above the water. "Inuyashaaaaaaaaa......." Laughing at her drenched look he tried to explain the reason he threw her in the water, "Kagome....hahahaha......you passed......hahaha.....out and the only way......haha...this was the only way that I thought......I could get you to come to." His face was red from laughter, hers was red from anger. "I didn't mean any harm in any way. I just thought you would wake up if I threw you in the river." He held out his hand to help her out of the water, still laughing at her. "You know, there are other ways you could have helped me." Grabbing his hand a thought crossed her mind. Pulling with all her strength, he tumbled over into the river with her. Now it was his turn to be angry. "What did you do that for?!" "Well, Inuyasha, I did it because you did it. It's as simple as that. And, I get the last laugh. So, ha!" Smiling smugly, she exited the river.
"Get out of the water, Inuyasha we don't have time for horseplay. You still have to explain everything to me." He gave a death glare, " I wouldn't be in the water, if you hadn't pulled me in, you idiot." Laughing she said, " I wouldn't have pulled you in if you hadn't thrown me in. It's all your fault in the first place."
"Is not."
"Is too."
"IS NOT"
"Inuyasha................ sit."
A wet thud was heard and it was Kagome who had the final words, "Is too!" The sit wore off a few minutes after that and the walked back to the hut together. Neither saying a word to the other. Inuyasha wasn't saying anything because he was mad, Kagome wasn't saying anything because she was thinking. She couldn't remember the last time that she had actually smiled and meant it. It felt like a burden had been lifted off her chest and she was able to breath. Taking in a deep breath and exhaling, she smiled again. It used to seem to hard to smile to her. And within a few hours of being here it all felt natural again. This was a magical place to her. No matter how many times she got hurt by Inuyasha, this place made her feel happy. Naraku was loose again, she didn't know how she felt about that. But she didn't know that they had defeated him in the first place so nothing was actually different to her. She felt like the same child that had fell through that well four years ago. Scared, unsure, yet content, and knowing. She always felt that she had belonged here, even though she didn't. She always felt a connection with everyone, even though she didn't. She didn't care about all that right now, all she cared about was that she didn't have any worries when she was here. Well, besides the usual demons that is. And as much as she liked it here, she couldn't stay.
Finally reaching the hut, she went in to check on Kikyo. The miko was asleep and seemed to be doing fine. She wiped her face off with a wet cloth and walked back outside to where Inuyasha sat sulking. "Oh, stop it already. It was just a little joke. Kikyo's doing fine and she should feel better in a couple of days. I still don't understand how a man made out of thousands of demons could impregnate a woman made of earth, bones, and clay." Shaking her head in disbelief, she turned to look at Inuyasha.
"Well, like I said, he did. At first no one knew that she was pregnant with the devil himself. Kaede was the first one to figure it out. She was always keen on things like that. She went on to say how he had done it. Kikyo wasn't actually like pregnant. She had all the symptoms and things like that but she was more like a host for Naraku. He just needed somewhere he could be reborn at." Kagome lowered her eyes from him. "So, it was just like a parasite that needs a host in order to live." "I guess you could say that." He answered. "Naraku lived on the souls that Kikyo had to have in order to live. She took in twice as many while Naraku was implanted inside her. I know it sounds crazy, Kagome, but that the only explanation for it all. Kikyo had a lot of problems throughout the time he was inside of her."
Kagome looked at him again "Why didn't you just kill Kikyo?" Her face was stern and serious. "It wasn't that easy. There was no way that she or he could've died. She had his blood in her body which made her just as strong and powerful as him. Even if we had killed her he would have found another host. She tried not to devour the souls anymore in hopes that Naraku and herself would die. But, anytime she tried that, he would make her take one of the lives of the villagers. That's what happened to Kaede. She doesn't even remember doing it." Inuyasha lowered his head to look at the rocks under his feet. Tears welled up in Kagome's eyes at the thought of Kikyo killing Kaede. Again, Kagome had lost someone she cared about because of Kikyo. Even though she didn't willingly do it, she still killed her own sister. But, in the end she still have to give Kikyo a little credit, after all, she did try to not let this evil back into the world. She was going to die in order to stop it.
Inuyasha continued his story, "So, ultimately there was no way of killing him or her." "Why didn't he, she or whoever, try to kill you Inuyasha? She could have easily dispatched you while you slept." He scoffed, "Like she could kill me if he tried. Which they didn't. I don't know why they didn't, but they didn't." She looked at him relieved that they hadn't killed him. " I can't believe this whole mess. This is all just...just crazy. Is there no way at all to stop him? Is he forever going to run the earth and destroy and be destroyed, only to be reborn again?" She stood up from the rock she had been setting on. "I have one other question before I go. What happened to Sango, Miroku, and Shippou?" Concern was written all over her face. If Kikyo had killed them, she was going to.....well she didn't know what she was going to do but she was going to take care of Kikyo.
"After the presumed death of Naraku, they all headed back to Sango's village." Kagome let out a long held sigh. They would be alright. No they are alright. "So, they don't know about the rebirth of Naraku?" "No." "Well, I suggest that you find them and put Naraku down for good, Inuyasha. You are going to have to find some way to kill him." Kagome turned away from him and began walking in the direction towards the well. "Kagome?......" She stopped to look at him. "Yes?"
"Are you still going to leave?" Diverting her eyes away from him, she began her story.
"Inuyasha, a long time ago I came from that well only to see you holding Kikyo in your arms." His shoulders slumped and his mouth began to open. "Don't say anything. Please, just listen to me. I seen her in your arms once again. That's when I fled home never to return. When I got home my house was ransacked and my family had been killed. I couldn't stay there after that had happened so I moved into an apartment" Tears were rolling down her face. Inuyasha just stared at her for a second before he pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry." She let his arms embrace her. She allowed the hug to shield her from all the pain. She let herself cry into his chest. She stopped crying enough to finish her story. "I came back here a month ago only to see you two walking hand in hand, looking as happy as two people can be. So, I turned and ran to the well. To my safe-place away from my heart being broken. I vowed never to set foot onto this ground again and to never see you again. But then you showed up to get me. I couldn't have been more scared and relieved to see your face. I was hurt so badly Inuyasha, not just by you, but by the man who killed my family. It hurt even worse when I had no one to confide in. No one to comfort me. No one to hold me all those lonely nights that I cried myself to sleep."
"Kagome, you are such a hot head do you know that?" He started to laugh. 'Was he laughing? Why in the hell is he laughing. I just poured my heart out to him and he's laughing at me?' Kagome thought to herself. "What are you laughing at?" She hit him across the chest with her palm. "That day when you seen me hugging Kikyo, I was telling her that I knew we were to never be together again. We were merely making amends to all the hatred and hardships, and we were making the beginning to a friendship." Kagome's heart stopped and she got butterflies in her stomach. "So, you're telling me that I stayed away for two year because I seen something that I didn't." He touched her on the end of the nose with his finger, "Yep." "But that day, a month ago, I seen you two holding hands and smiling." He smiled, "And that day, a month ago, I called out to you." So, he had called her name. "I don't want you to be upset with me though after I tell you this part though." Her heart sank. She pulled away from him.
"Kikyo and I, well, we did make a promise to never separate from each other again. She is to stay by my side as I am to her. Until either one of dies we will remain that way. We're not mates but we're together" "YOU DID WHAT?" His ears lied back from the screech. "I can't believe this, first you tell me I didn't see what I seen, then you tell me that you called to me, she's not pregnant with your child but Naraku's, and last but not least you're with her but you guys are not mates!!!!" She stormed off walking to the well.
"Kagome, wait. Damn it let me finish. The only reason I made that promise is because I thought you were never going to come back. I went to your house everyday looking for you. But you were never there. I would go into your room and place a Sakura bloom on your bed....." He didn't mean for that last part to come out, oops. "You came to my room everyday looking for me, and you brought me flowers?" "I sure did and you better not tell nobody either." 'Now who's the hothead?' She thought. "I didn't know that. I only go into the house to clean the dust off of things but I never touched my room. That's weird but for some reason I just couldn't bring myself to face the memories that I had while I stayed in that room. If I had only went into there once, I would have known." He smiled at her, "Yes, you would have. I didn't know why you left, but I thought that I had made you mad some how so, I brought you some flowers to make up for whatever I had done. But you were never there."
That promise that he had made Kikyo had suddenly popped back into her head. "Well, it doesn't matter now what happened because you have a promise and I have work to do. I care about you Inuyasha but I can't stay here. Maybe if I hadn't rushed off like I had, things would have been different. Mistakes are mistakes though, and I have made my own. I can't fix them. The only thing I can do is just go home for now and think about things."
They reached the well in complete silence. "Well, I guess this is goodbye. Just for now though. Now that I see what happened there would be no since in me not help you fight Naraku." 'OMPH' He had crushed her to him again. This time the hug was more gentle and caring. She put her arms around him. They stayed that way for a long time before either of them spoke. "Promise me you'll return, Kagome. I can't stand you being away." A little hope raised inside her. Even if it was just a little, it was still hope. "I promise. I will come back, I just have to clear my head." With those words said, he let her go. She jumped into the well only to hit the ground with a loud thud. "Kagome, are you O.K.?" "Inuyasha, why isn't the well working? Why can't I go home?"
She was stuck in a world where she wasn't wanted, and couldn't get back to world that she didn't want.
A/N: Muahahahahahaha........I'm so evil.......not really but I like to think so!
Well, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter if anything is unclear just state that in your review and I will clear it up the beginning of the next chappy. Until then, have fun, don't get arrested, and don't do anything that I wouldn't do!!hahaha
