Chapter three
She watched as Kikyou approached her. She wanted nothing more than too kill Kikyou with her claws and end it once and for all. It was so tempting. Kagome could barely restrain her youkai rage. It seem the emotions of hurt and betrayal ran deeper in youkai blood.
She was glad to have Souten in her arms. It helped to calm her down. She would never attack with a child in her arms.
Souten stared intently at the woman in front of him. There was something familiar about the woman, but he didn't know what.
Kagome watched the indecision in his eyes. It hurt Kagome to know that, even know, she was being compared to Kikyou. Kagome slowly put him down. He would decide who he wanted to go with. It was the same chance Inuyasha had.
Souten looked from Kagome to Kikyou. He scrunched up his face, confused as to who he should pick.
Inuyasha watched his son in between the two. He couldn't help but notice it was the same situation he was in so many years ago. Inuyasha held his breath, who would his son pick. Inuyasha desperately hoped he would make the right decision and learn from his father mistakes. It was too late for himself but it wasn't too late for Souten to make his choice.
"Come here, sweetie, don't you remember me? Momma's come back for you."
Anger flashed in Souten's eyes. Surprised, Kikyou pulled back.
Souten walked back over to Kagome. He grasped her hand and pulled so that he had her attention. "She's not my mommy, you are, you protected me from those demon. Mommy, tell that lady to go away, she scares me."
Kagome let out her own breath. She hid her surprise as she picked Souten back up. She let the tears fall freely from her eyes. She admitted it to herself, she was afraid of rejection. Afraid that this little boy would reject her for Kikyou.
Souten used his tiny clawed hands to wipe away the tears from his momma's face. "Don't cry mommy."
Kagome smiled at him, delighting the small child further. "I'm sorry Souten, I'm just relieved that is all" Kagome whispered.
Souten hugged her neck and Kagome hugged back just as hard.
Inuyasha watched on with regretful eyes. If he had only made the right choice, if only he had chosen like his son did. He felt old memories filter through his mind. Memories of his own betrayal to the one who cared most for him.
Flashback ------------------------------
Please Inuyasha, banish her forever, banish her from this village and I promise I'll marry you and stay with you forever. Do this one thing for me Inuyasha.
Inuyasha nodded at Kikyou. I'll do anything for you Kikyou.
-----fast forward-----
Why Inuyasha? Why are you doing this? Tell me!
Inuyasha looked at the crying figure in front of him. His eyes showed nothing, but inside he was hurting. He did not want to this, he wanted her to stay with him, to stay by his side forever.
Go Kagome! I don't want to see you ever return here! Your no longer welcomed in this village, my village or my forest! Go!
Kagome chocked back on the sobs. She looked at him, standing there, not one single thing in his eyes.
Her eyes moved sideways to see Kikyou right behind Inuyasha, smirking. Kagome felt her heart constrict, he had chosen and it wasn't her.
With one last look, she slung the familiar yellow book bag over her shoulder and walked away, not once turning back.
End Flashback --------------------------------
He took a step forward and felt a pang in his heart when she flinched and took a step back.
"You little brat! I gave birth to your filthy blood. You should be grateful to me. Well who cares, you are after all a son of a basta..."
The next Kikyou knew she was pinned on the ground, a claw hand gripped her throat. Kikyou's wide eyes looked up to meet with a pair of frosted blue eyes.
"If you ever insult Souten like that again, I'll torture you until you beg me too take your life. I'm warning you bit--. Stay away from my pup. If I ever hear you speak to him or his father that way, you better be thinking of a way to hide from me."
Kagome's eyes flashed red for only a second before turning blue again. Her claws bit into Kikyou's neck, drawing blood. She could do it, Kagome thought, she could kill Kikyou right now.
"Momma" whispered Souten.
The grip on Kikyou's neck ease until Kagome took her hand away completely.
She walked back over to Souten and picked him up.
Kikyou, not one to be pushed around by everyone, shot a purifying arrow at Kagome's back.
"Watch out Kagome!" Inuyasha screamed. But his outburst was unnecessary. Before the arrow could even get two feet near Kagome, it hit a barrier and disintegrated into nothing.
Kagome turned back to Kikyou, "Be careful Kikyou, I'm not the same person that you had met four years ago... now... now I don't hesitate to kill." With that said, she turned back around, heading toward Kaede's hut.
Kikyou looked at Inuyasha, using her sad eyes on him. "Are you going to let her talk to me like that Inuyasha?" She said in a fake depressed voice.
Inuyasha looked at her. She was his mistake, the one he had givin into because of her deceiving brown eyes. Inuyasha wished now that he was looking into warm blue eyes instead. He just gave her a pitying look before walking after Kagome.
Miroku and Sango watched the scene unfold before them. Kagome was back, it was a miracle, a miracle sent from heaven. Maybe, just maybe, the fates were giving Inuyasha a second chance.
Sango and Miroku watched in surprise when Inuyasha neither embraced or soothed Kikyou. Sango smiled. Maybe Inuyasha was growing up.
"Good for you Inuyasha," Miroku whispered. Sango nodded her head in agreement, the family was coming back together.
Shippo had watched too and went to catch up with Inuyasha.
Shippo looked up into the eyes of his father figure. "You did the right thing Inuyasha, you know you did."
Inuyasha smiled at him, Shippo was shocked at the sight.
Inuyasha watched Shippo's reaction. Was it so hard for the kit to believe he was happy?
"Yeah I know Shippo. Maybe I'll do the right thing with Kagome too."
