"You can either..."
"Either do what?"
"Become all human, all demon, never see the girl again or..."
"NEVER SEE KAGOME AGAIN!?!? ARE YOU CRAZY!?"
"Never see me again? What's going on?" Kagome said frightfully.
"There is another option InuYasha." InuTaisho said.
"What is it?! I'll do anything!"
"It is to..."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ch 17 A Life Without You? Can I Decide?
InuYasha stomped up to his father in frustration. He began to pound at his father's huge leg out of confusion and anger like a spoiled 6 year old.
"What is it!!? Why won't you tell me!?" "......" InuTaisho stayed silent for a while and everyone else did too.
"InuYasha......... stop it..." Kagome silently cried.
"Why won't anyone tell me!? This isn't about me! This is about Kagome too! Tell me please!!"
"Son......" InuTaisho sighed at the sad sight of his musuko. "...either you do those other things or you have to...... give up your entire memory of Kagome."
InuYasha's eyes grew wide in shock. He couldn't just FORGET Kagome! Was it even possible to use those two words together like that? Could those letters actually be in correct order as to spell those two dreadful words? Is it possible? Could he actually forget Kagome? And if not forget, could he actually live without her? He wouldn't! He couldn't! He... just might have to...
"D... dad... you can ha ha, quit joking now." InuYasha laughed nervously. "Joke's over dad. Ha ha ha..."
Kouga walked over to InuYasha and placed a hand on his shoulder. Sometimes your worst enemy is the only one who can help you.
"I'm sorry mate... it's the truth. It's righ' 'ere on the letta' from the Youkai Counsel..." Kouga slowly handed him the letter. InuYasha grabbed it and shakily read it. It read:
Dear Takashi Family,
It has come to our urgent attention, the condition of your hanyou by the name of InuYasha Takashi. We have been informed of InuTaisho Takashi spending time with him to help control it but we're afraid that the tension of his demonic blood has been growing to a point in with it can actually harm the girl (Kagome Higurashi) in the attempt to claim her. It is for the best that he and his mate to be unmated. Therefore we suggest that you bring him here to the counsel and let him choose to become fully human, youkai, keep him away from the woman forever, or to just let him forget about her completely with a mind erase. Please think about this matter carefully. This is not to be taken lightly. Thank you for your time.
Your Overseers,
The Youkai Counsel
InuYasha shakily dropped the letter and fell to his knees. Kagome slowly walked over to him to comfort him when she spotted the letter on the ground. She nervously read it and began to cry. Kagome ran over to InuYasha him a warm hug.
"InuYasha, please tell me what's going on." She whispered. "Please tell me what's going on. Please?"
InuYasha looked at her with a blank expression, and then turned to his father. "Otou-san... I think she has the right to finally know what's going on... I can't tell her, but you can... just tell her...please. I can't stand to hurt her anymore..."
Kagome's eyes widened. "What are you talking about InuYasha? You've never..."
"Just listen to me Kagome!" InuYasha yelled as he punched the cement just enough to create a decent sized dent. "You have no idea the things I've tried to do to you! You just know..."
"I think we should leave you guys..." Sango said as she dragged Kouga and Miroku into Kagome's house.
"Ahem. Kagome it is time to tell what is going on with my son. The "condition" you've heard so much about so to speak."
Kagome only stared at him.
"InuYasha is going through a crucial period in a demon's life. He shared his first kiss with you did he not?"
"Y. yes sir... BUT IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT!! We didn't mean to!"
"I know. But even so, it was his first kiss also. When a demon gets his or her first kiss, they tend to like the person the kissed better. Liking, to the extent, that if you don't seem to return the feelings they can hypnotize you into mating them. This hypnotizing works only for male demons on women though. InuYasha, in his confused condition tried to do so to you. He hypnotized you and tried to mate with you. But you cannot remember those times... for his condition has a spell that erases your memory after he gains control of himself. His demon blood is becoming too strong for him to handle around you. His demon blood is what is doing this him and you."
InuYasha flinched and got up. He turned to look at Kagome's shocked expression with his now emotionless, hazy amber eyes. His eyes showed no emotion and his face no expression.
"It's true Kagome... I've tried to basically rape you numerous times... I didn't know what I was doing at first but when I found out I couldn't stop myself. The full demon in me came out and I couldn't do anything to stop myself... but every time I've tried to mate you, I've failed, and for that I am happy. I'm just glad you're not hurt."
Ms. Higurashi looked terrified. "InuYasha sweetie, I know you wouldn't have done that if you were in your right mind. Right?"
InuYasha nodded.
Kagome began to cry at this. She finally knew what was wrong with him. She's always wanted to know what was wrong with. And now that she knew, she didn't like it. She didn't like it at all! But deep down inside she was happy she knew, and terrified of him at the same time.
InuYasha looked at his father with a still blank expression "Father, Ms. Higurashi, I think that me and Kagome have a choice to make. Can you please excuse us?"
"Ok... come on Ms. Higurashi. Our children need time alone, and we need to have a discussion." InuTaisho turned into his human type figure and walked with Ms. Higurashi into the house.
InuYasha took a step towards Kagome, and she slid backwards on the ground trying to get away from him. He kept walking towards her until she ended up backing into the stage. InuYasha took one more step towards her and she braced herself for the worst. She closed her eyes and prayed to herself he wouldn't do anything to her. And to Kagome's surprise, he didn't. When she opened her eyes, InuYasha was before her on the ground about 10 ft away sitting in his usual dog position with head down so you couldn't see his face.
"Kagome... I think I should become fully human... that way... I wouldn't have this terrible curse upon you or me..."
"Inu...Yasha... there's no way I'm gonna let you change who you are like that! And if you do I swear I'll hate you forever!" She yelled nervously.
"Kagome... I..."
"I said no and that's final!"
"But Kagome... I don't want to forget you, or... Kagome, a life without you? How can I decide?"
"InuYasha?"
InuYasha felt something deep inside. Hurt, confusion, frustration, stress. All of them burning inside of him, overwhelming his body. He knew this feeling... he had to get Kagome away from him. He was going to attempt his demonic feat again. And he really didn't want to. Not today... not ever... He was quiet for a while, which scared Kagome even more. InuYasha was motionless. He sat there fighting with himself, fighting for control. InuYasha... was losing his battle...
"InuYasha?" Kagome began to slowly crawl towards him and InuYasha's ears twitched.
"Get away... while you still can..."
"Not a chance..." Kagome said continuing to inch closer to him.
"Kagome! You know what's happening to me! Get way from me nooow... ARG!!!"
Kagome began crawling faster towards him. Those ten feet seemed like 10 miles to her.
"DON'T COME NEAR ME!!! DON'T TOUCH ME!!!" InuYasha barked, his eyes turning their demonic red, his fangs, and claws becoming longer, and his demon marks on his face were becoming visible.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Thank you Ms. Higurashi, I'd love some more..." InuTaisho suddenly felt that his son was changing. "This it... my son's, and your daughter's test of power... InuYasha's instincts have been set off again."
Everyone in the kitchen gasped but Ms. Higurashi and InuTaisho. They were about to run outside when both InuTaisho and Ms. Higurashi stopped them.
"This is between our children! You all will not interrupt their chance to breakthrough!" Ms. Higurashi yelled.
"The Mangy Mutt's gonna try ta rape ma Sheila and we're not gonna do anything about it?!" Kouga growled.
"We agree with Kouga!" Miroku and Sango yelled.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"No... we're just going to have to believe in them is all. That's all we can do right now." InuTaisho said. "KAGOME DON'T!!! I'LL END UP HURTING YOU!!!! STOP!!!"
Kagome wrapped her arms around him from behind and closed her eyes.
"RAAAAAAAAR!!!" InuYasha let out.
His normal side had lost the battle. There's no telling what he would do now. He examined the area and felt Kagome behind him. He smirked.
"Hello mate. I see you've come to me this time. Then I don't have to go through the trouble of capturing you. That weakling of a hanyou can't stop me from claiming you this time!" He said as he turned around breaking Kagome's embrace.
"InuYasha? Stop it! Snap out of it!"
"The hanyou isn't in right now but you can leave a message before I claim you." InuYasha smirked.
He closed his eyes and opened them revealing his normal eye colors. He was back to normal!?
"Kagome? Kagome I'm sorry!!! Forgive me!"
"Inu...Yasha?" Kagome lunged towards him knocking him over in a warm embrace. "I was so scared!"
"Ka... gome? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...mmm..." He melted into what cut him off from what he was saying.
In mid-sentence Kagome kissed InuYasha passionately, eyes closed and everything. He was shocked at first but began to kiss back. Kagome was in heaven. InuYasha was licking Kagome's lips begging for entrance, which was granted. Kagome started scratching behind InuYasha resulting in a moan from InuYasha. While Kagome was enjoying her self, InuYasha really getting her ready. But for what?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meanwhile in a tree near the house there were two figures. One went by the name Suzaku, and the other Seiryu.
"I'm glad they can't sense us, but do you think we should stop them Suzaku?"
"No, not yet Seiryu. I know what InuYasha's doing, and I don't like it, but you heard their parents. We will not interrupt. Not unless he does something very drastic."
"But Suzaku! He about to...!"
"Don't worry about it. You've seen this millions of times! We just can't do anything about it right now because it is their guardians' wish."
"I know, but there's something I like about these two. I don't want to do anything drastic!"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I'm with you on that. There's something special I like about them too. I just can't but my finger on it..." "HE MADE A MOVE ON MA SHEILA!!!" Kouga said looking though a window at Kagome and InuYasha.
"Actually, I think Kagome made the first move on him!" Miroku said with a perverted smirk.
SANGO POW!! SANGO BOP!! SUPER SANGO SLAP!! SANGO'S BOOMARANG!!!
"Will you two stop it!!!" Sango yelled while dragging the two limp figures away from the window.
"sigh More tea please if you don't mind Ms. Higurashi."
"No problem Mr. Takashi. Here you are." She said pouring the tea into the cup.
"Thank you. You're a very kind woman indeed."
"Thank you. I can tell you're a very courageous man."
inside the living room peeking into the kitchen
"Woah, are InuYasha and Kagome's parents hitting on each other?" Miroku whispered.
"Looks like it ta me." Sango smiled.
"Oh, great... 'ow pathetic is tha'?"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
InuYasha and Kagome broke away from their kiss and gasped heavily. When they finally caught their breath they smiled.
"Wow Kagome, I didn't know ya had it in ya!" InuYasha laughed.
"You too! Hahahaha!!!"
InuYasha began to sniff the air, and began to run into the woods.
"Kagome follow me hurry up!" He said as he disappeared into the trees.
"Hey! InuYasha wait for me!!!" She yelled running after him.
When she caught up InuYasha was in a clear spot in the woods. His back was facing her. Kagome walked up behind him.
"Are you waiting for me?" she laughed.
"Actually, yes Kago. I want you to look at something."
"What is it Inu-Kun?"
"Kagome..." InuYasha turned around with his head down and his eyes closed.
"Yeah? What didja want me to look at?"
"Kagome, look..." InuYasha quickly looked up. "...look into my eyes!!!"
InuYasha's eyes flew open. Kagome looked straight into them. 'He was a full demon again. But wait! His stripes were still of his face when he was normal! He tricked me into coming here! He never turned back into the real InuYasha!' was all that Kagome had time to think. His hypnotic waves were taking affect on her. The urge was strong. She couldn't escape. But why? She thought she had him back to normal. Why was she still able to think. How come she actually knew what she was about to do?
"I'm letting you have freedom of thought this time. So you can enjoy every moment or our time together."
"n. no... Inu... Yasha..."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in another tree nearby
"Come on Suzaku! We've got to do something now!!"
"No! Wait a minute look! He's...!"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
InuYasha began to reach out to Kagome, but he suddenly stopped. He let out a cry of pain and collapsed to the ground. Kagome fell with him. Both of them arose at the same time.
"Kagome? Kagome I'm so sorry! I mean it this time! It's me!"
Kagome placed a hand on his cheek and looked deeply into his eyes. It WAS him! InuYasha was back.
"InuYasha!" she yelled falling into a warm embrace.
"Kagome I've decide what I was going to do now."
"You did!?"
"Yes. I can't risk getting you hurt anymore. You told me to promise not to change myself so I won't. But I've decided."
"But, InuYasha!"
"Kagome... I've decided and that's final! I'm sorry... but Kagome... I can't see you anymore... not ever again..."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
