Disclaimer: Look here how many times do I have to repeat myself. I Do Not Own Inu Yasha or Yu Yu Hakusho.
Author's Note: I hate to disappoint people especially author's the word Koi does not mean love, it is the word for dark. Believe me I thought it meant love as well until I looked in the Japanese dictionary buy was I disappointed, some of my stories contain Koi as love, what a shame. I am sorry but I figure you needed to know, so I shared this info with you that I learned. Now on with what I have to say I found myself re-reading the last chapter and this one, fixing every little detail here and there trying to maintain the originality of my story. Alas, we have one more of Kagome's ponders or POV. It is not long, but it explains what happened one night at the hot springs with Kikyou. Then a shot back, with the others.
"Flashback... Coincidence or Fate"
Chapter 4
Kagome than began to ponder on the words of the prophecy Kikyo had told her almost a week before.
[Flashback]
While the others rested at Kaede-sama hut, and idly chatted, Kagome went to go bathe in the hot spring in the outskirts of Inu Yasha Forest. Kagome just finished rinsing her hair when she heard a in a deadpan voice.
"Hello! my re-incarnate."
Shocked by the voice, Kagome flung her arms around herself, and spun towards the owner of the voice and grated out.
"Kikyo, what do you want?" She spat out with venom as she got out of the hot springs. Kagome quickly dried off and got dressed not trusting the living dead corpse.
"Kagome is it." She neither stated it as a question or statement.
"I am not here to harm you, I only came to talk."
"Why would you do that?" Kagome spat.
"I have my reasons. Your fate and destiny will change! It has been written." She said, with her eyes staring at the now fully odd clothed Kagome.
"There is a prophecy, the Fates Foretell, and it concerns YOU." As her voice became venom.
"What prophecy and the Fates are you babbling about, I haven't heard of any prophecy, or anything to do with the Fates I'm sure Kaede, or Kailie- Sama would have told me about it." Kagome said, in a monotone voice.
"Of course you have not, you are my incarnate, and my dear sister Kaede Sama, would not know of it until the Fates and Destiny, deemed it necessary. The same goes for Kailie-Sama. You Are the last hope for survival."
"What ME! Aaaah, No! No! No! Not me sister." Kagome, spurted out shocked that Kikyou would try to lie about the Fates and Destiny
"I have no reason to lie, nor do I wish to be the one telling this. The hands, of the Fates, and Destiny been dealt. This lost prophecy, been found in the Tomb of the Forbidden Gods. Sealed from all eyes, until the day, the Fates and Destiny so bid it. That time has passed. And I have to tell you this." Kikyou continued.
The past meets future. The Chosen, has many a few that accept the other, as Life shall renew the lost and futile. Blood between human and youkai, now share a bond, as a sensual lover of mischief and beauty, a stoic lover of immense power, and honor, a lonely lover that overpowers space and time and a high spirited lover with grace that accepts all life! A shared union become one as mates. Will the Fate of the World be Spared. For Time Stands Not Still, as One World Becomes Three." Kikyou said, in a breath that seemed lost.
"What's that supposed to mean? That sounds like something from a fairy tale." Kagome stated.
"As I have stated, The Fates and Destiny have given me the chance to read a scroll that was thought lost, but I have seen, read and understood! Then the Fates, demanded me, to give you fair warning, of the prophecy. Kikyou continued.
This is why, I have come to you, not of my own free will. Believe me or not My Incarnate. If your journey here in Sengoku Jidai, should continue after I leave, you will fall to what the Fates and Destiny had written long ago."
"What I..I I cannot believe you would stoop so low, to get me to leave so you could take the chance to drag poor Inu Yasha to Hell!" Kagome said, in an angered voice.
"You're truly pathetic, and to think the Fates and Destiny have chosen You." Kikyou said, with laughter, mocking her.
"Wha...What." Kagome looked at her with pained eyes of shock.
"But, if you are telling the truth then why, how? I am just Kagome, no one special! Just a girl." It came out in a whisper of sadness.
"I am you, and you are my incarnate, I possess part of your soul, I know all." As if Kagome forgot.
"You have less time than you realize, for the prophecy has already begun." Kikyou spoke in her soft voice, not wanting to be the one whom the Fates demanded that redress, come from her.
"Heed my warning incarnate! I know not why the Fates and Destiny have chosen, one such as you, to be our Destined Miko." She said, with sarcasm.
"No, way! That's impossible, I can't, I still have the jewel shards to collect, I have to fix what I done. I just can't up and leave my duty, my promises, I am honor bound, and I have to right the wrongs that Naraku had done." Kagome, began her tirade, as she felt was to her right saying, what was bothering her, after two and half years, of living in her shadow.
"Why should I believe you, Kikyou? You have always tried to kill me or try to cause some kind of harm to me! In some sadistic manner, only to torture my soul, and hurt Inu Yasha, so he would go with you to Hell!" She continues badgering Kikyou.
"This is unacceptable, I refuse to believe. How do I know for sure that what you say is the TRUTH!!!" Perhaps you are making this up so that I don't come back, so you can take Inu boy to Hell." How can I Trust You, when all you ever done was hurt me." Kagome said, in a sad irritated voice.
"I regret the wrongs, I have caused you Kagome. I care not too, however the Fates have given me an ultimatum, and I have followed through with their demands of me. As for your pledges, my incarnate, leave them and return to your world, for your destiny and fate here have only just begun!" Kikyou, said with sadness.
"Should you decide to stay, Pain, harmony, hate, and love you will find in store for you! My words, are truth. If you do not believe, ask my sister Kaede or Kailie-Sama! Tonight, the Fates and Destiny, will come to them in their dreams, where visions are told, they will inform you as well when it is your time to know!" Kikyou said, in a matter of opinion.
"If I choose to stay, I have to bare what the Fates and Destiny have written! However, what if I decided to leave, and return to continue my journey, like I have been doing? Kagome asked uncertain...
"I am told what is needed when, why, what or where, is not up to myself. Only the Fates and Destiny, can tell you, what it is that you seek!" Kikyou, said with a certain degree of finality, as she continued.
"The time draws near. Leave tonight, bid your farewells, to those you call family or friends. As of early morning should you remain, your life as you know it will change. I have kept my word to the Fates! I have done my deed." With that said, Kikyou turned and walked away when she began to glow, surrounded by a white light, as her soul stealers encircled her and lifted her away into night sky.
[End Flashback]
{Back with Inu and the others}
"What took you guys so long?" Inu Yasha paused and scanned the area noticing two missing members of his small pack.
"Where in the hell are Kagome and Shippo." He all but yelled at the Houshi and Taijiya. Wanting them all here, so he could go find his beloved Kikyou, and talk to her.
"They are on their way Inu Yasha." Miroku said, as he looked at his lovely fiancé, for support. Which he glided next to her while his hand causally groped her butt.
"Shimatta, Houshi."
"Stop groping me, you Hentai." She wielded her trusty hiraikotsu, and bashed him over the head. For a mile radius, you could hear the sounding thwack, as the boomerang collided with his head and an Itai could be heard.
"Ima, Sango!" Yurushite kudasai, gomen nesai, my dear Sango, but I could not resist your bishojo, and your butt was just waiting to be touched. Ai!"
This earned him a binta and a swift kick in the stomach. However, he remained standing but warily. He then regained his composure and quirked an eyebrow at Inu Yasha's strange outburst.
"Did you notice the quick change in Inu Yasha's attitude, Sango-chan!" Miroku whispered.
"Yeah! I wonder why?" Sango stated softly.
"You do know that I heard you Monk!" Inu Yasha replied with a growl.
'What's up with you and Sango all of the sudden, Hummm?' Inu Yasha said, in a sarcastic way.
"As for Sango and I, we are now engaged to be married, and after we defeat Naraku we plan on getting married!" To answer your first question, Kagome just needed sometime to herself. I believe she is longing for something, or rather someone and she needed time to think, she'll be here in a few minutes give her time Inu Yasha." Miroku spoke looking at him with a quirked eyebrow seeing if he got the message that Kagome was thinking about him. To no avail Inu Yasha didn't get it as usual unless you told him directly or it was shoved in his face which I doubt he would understand. What's with this hanyou being so dense Miroku thought.
"So, Monk, you really decided, to spill the beans! And, she agreed! I hope you and Sango live a happy life." He said, in a sad gruff voice, as he looked at them before he quickly recovered from his moment of sadness, as a breeze swept across the camp, the scent of Death, Earth and Ash filled Inu Yasha's nose alerting him Kikyou was getting closer.
