Disclaimer: Hell I wished I owned Inu Yasha.
Chapter Six: Toukijin
Inu Yasha sat motionlessly staring into space. She was gone. She was really gone. He hadn't realized it, until it was to late. She was his best friend. She stuck by him through thick and thin. She cheered him up. She cared for him.
'Why? Why did I have to loose her? She was pretty, kind, gentle, loving, forgiving, fascinating, courageous, stubborn, arrogant, weak, delicate, enticing, enchanting, and she loved me. Wait….. she loved me? Gods, I wished she did. After all I've done to her.'
Shippou sat in his corner of the hut. Pouting. Kagome was gone. He raised the pink jewel to his eye level. Without it, she couldn't get through, but for some reason, Inu Yasha couldn't get through to her time either. He sniffed, and forced back the tears.
'No. Mommy didn't want to leave me. She loved me. Kagome was….is my Mommy and she'll come back to me. She'll never leave me. She loves to much. Right?' He hugged his teddy bear that Kagome had given him a while back tightly. Her scent lingered on it, and he'd die protecting it if he had to. It was his only memory of his surrogate mother.
Sango sat wrapped up in Miroku's arms. Tears of pain, and rage fell down her cheeks. Naraku had taken away the last of her family. And just like Kohaku, she couldn't get Kagome back. Why? Why did Naraku do these things? She glanced at Inu Yasha. 'You were the one who made Kagome go away.' It was a childish thought, and she knew it……but she also knew it was true. She sobbed again, before burring her head in Miroku's chest.
Miroku gripped Sango closer to him. His mind was too occupied to grope her at the moment. Even he had his restrictions. They all sat back Kaeda's hut. But Miroku couldn't help but think, it didn't feel right without Kagome. His eyes glazed over. It would be harder to look for the shards now. Inu Yasha would never be the same. None of them would be.
'Gods above us, help us. Bring back the one we treasure so dearly.'
~_~;;; Kagome's Time ~_~;;;
Kagome sighed again. She'd been doing that a lot lately. She packed her books into her bag, and headed towards her next class. Japanese History. She couldn't help but think about Inu Yasha and the others. There it was again. His name. She missed him. She missed him so much, that she felt she would die if she could not see him again.
She turned into her class room. But still, even if she went back, she had to endure the pain of knowing Inu Yasha saw Kikyou in her. That she was just a shard locator. That he loved her, only because she was as close as he could get to Kikyou. He protected her, only because he had his pride.
And it hurt her. It hurt her so much more than words could ever say. She could write out the pain that she felt, and go on for all of eternity. She sat down in her desk. She couldn't help but feel relieved that none of her friends were in this class. They had been nagging at her the entire day about what was on her mind. And Hojo kept on asking her out. The boy was nice, and sweet, not to mention hot, but he had to learn to get a clue.
She stopped her thoughts of the feudal era, as Mrs. Lenningham walked into the class room.
"Now class, I believe in our last period together, we started our topic about the legend of the Shikon Jewel correct?"
Kagome perked up. When had the studied this? Had she missed it? 'See. Now with Inu Yasha out of the picture, I can come to school with out having so much work to catch up on.'
Mrs. Lenningham started talking again. "Would someone please give us a recap? Uuummmm, how about Mr. Hannigan."
Patrick, the school pervert, whom really reminded her of Miroku, stood up. "Well, Basically, a half demon falls in love with a miko, but they are turned against each other, by another half demon. Fifty years later, a girl from the future some how finds her way to the past, and she and the half demon fall in love. In the end, the half demon must choose between his two lovers. But the one from the future makes the decision for him, and so he ends up going to Hell with his first love. He stays there for all of eternity, and suffers a broken heart, as he watches his first love fall for another."
Kagome stared wide eyed. 'Inu Yasha.' She turned her stare towards her desk. She had just sealed Inu Yasha's fate, and she didn't even know it. 'If I had stayed, and just let him see Kikyou with out making such a fuss, he could be forever happy.'
Her hand shot up. There had to be a way to go back. She remembered Myoga telling her that Inu Yasha's father forged three swords. Tetsuiga, the sword of war, and destruction, Tensuiga, the sword of peace, and unity, and Toukijin. But he never told her what Toukijin did.
"Yes, Ms. Higurashi?"
"Mrs. Lenningham, in the legend, there were also three swords mentioned. Tetsuiga, the sword of war. Tensuiga, the sword of peace, and Toukijin. What did Toukijin stand for?"
"Well Ms. Higurashi, I'm glad you brought that up. Toukijin was said to be the most powerful of them both. It was to bring unity between the two. How ever, I recall reading, that the sword might have been able to bring peace to the Japan of that era."
"You mean, it could have defeated Naraku? And sent Kikyou back to Hell?" Kagome pressed. Forgetting she was supposed to be absent that day.
"Yes. Ms. Higurashi, what has gotten in to you? Why the sudden interest in feudal fairy tails?"
"No reason. But, had Inu Yasha ended up with the future miko, would he have suffered? Would he finally see her for her? Not his first love?"
"Ms. Higurashi I do not know. Now would you please stop asking pointless questions?"
"But Mrs….."
"That's quiet enough Kagome! If you wish to know these things, research it!"
Kagome didn't speak for the rest of the day. Her mind was else where. If she could get back to the feudal era, she could stop the pain Inu Yasha would endure. But how? She sealed it. Then again, she was a miko, and Kaeda had said herself that her powers were very powerful. Maybe there was a counter spell?
*_* Last Period *_*
Kagome sat in her desk. Staring at the clock made time seem to go by so much slower. She waited for the bell to ring. She had to get to the library. She had to research counter spells. But, what if Inu Yasha didn't want to see Kagome? She said some pretty harsh things. And what if he loved Kikyou too much?
Kagome sprang from her seat as the bell rang. She stuffed her books into her bag, and ran down the west hallway to the library. Turning a corner, she bumped into a hard surface.
"Hojo?" she stared almost surprised to see him there.
"Oh. Hi Kagome. Would you like to go out? Maybe on the weekend to like a movie or something?" He extended a hand.
Kagome igonored it, and stood up herself. "Sorry Hojo. I'm busy that day." Without another word, she went back to her task of getting to the library. She walked briskly, and pushed her way through the crowded areas of the hall.
She sighed when she finally made it to the library. She pushed open the door, and headed straight to the mythology section. She stopped, when she realized that there were at least six shelves to it. 'Who knew there was so much on mythology. I mean, it isn't exactly what the school is known for.'
Changing her mind, she headed to a computer, and typed in the keyword: Toukijin.
The screen loaded, and she started to scroll down the list of books. Most of them were about a man named Toukijin. Said to be quarter demon. Kagome sighed. Nothing. She was about to turn away, when another book popped up. It was titled, "The Miko's Sword". Curioius, Kagome opened up the file, and read the short summary.
"In search of the Shikon shards, the young Miko, came across a strange sword crafted by the previous Lord of the Western Lands. Little did she know, the sword was the key to the future of Japan, and her happiness.
An alternate ending to the legend of the Shikon jewel."
Kagome swallowed the growing lump in her throut. She walked down the isles of books, and came to a stop, before pulling out a green one, with leather bindings. She brought it to an empty table, and sat down. Opening to the first page, she could tell it had not been opened in a while from the crinkling sound it made, and the smell of fresh new pages said it all.
Her eyes skimmed the lines. Growing wider as she went. The fate of Japan was in her hands. If she didn't find Toukijin, Naraku would win the battle, and who knew what would happen then. Sango, and Miroku. Shippou. She closed her eyes as she remembered their voices.
'Mamma.'
Her eyes snapped opened. That she had not imagined. That was Shippou's voice. She was positive. She walked up to the librarian, and signed the book out. Turning on her heels, she headed to her locker, to grab her needed books. She quietly spun in the combination for her lock.
She couldn't have imagined the voice. It sounded all to real. Golden eyes flashed through her mind. 'Inu Yasha. No! I'm over that. I'm only trying to go back, because if I don't beat Naraku, Japan will fall into despare.'
She walked out the school doors, and made her way home. The sun was setting in the distance. The streets were empty, and all was quiet. With the exception of the occasional person passing by, there was no one around.
She dragged her feet up the shrine steps. Stopping to gaze at the well house. 'Inu Yasha. NO! He loves Kikyou.'
~_* Inu Yasha *_~
'Tonight. Tonight I break it off with Kikyou. I don't love her the way I thought. I love Kagome. I have to get Kagome back, and Kikyou will just be a distraction.'
Kikyou gracefully landed on the clearing ground. She smiled at him, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"Kikyou, we need to talk."
"Yes Inu Yasha?" she walked up to him, and pressed her body against his.
Inu Yasha gazed into her eyes. "Kikyou, Kagome has gone back through the well, and it's sealed." A foreign feeling swept through his body. "Now that's she gone, we can be together. Please join our group."
Kikyou gently pressed her cold lips to his. He automatically wrapped his arms around her body. A cold dark feeling suddenly took his body by surprise.
"I'd love to Inu Yasha. But for now, I must go." And with that Kikyou left.
Inu Yasha swallowed. 'What the? I didn't mean to ask her that. What's come over me? Why can't I control what I say and do?'

Gah. It's been like forever since I've updated, but I've been busy. Well, hope you enjoyed this chapter. Thanks to the following reviewers.
Chikenmastah- well, Kagome dropped the shards unnoticed while arguing with Inu Yasha. Sorry. Should have made that clear. I love getting reviews from you.
Devotd-inu-fan- thanks for the complement. It's good to know that people like it. Hehe. Kikyou won't have a happy ending. I'll tell you that.
Silent bloddytears- hehe. I'll try to update. *hint hint* but remember, I have two lives. Anime, and fanfiction, then there's the stupid thing they call school. But just for you reviewers, and for the sake of my imagination, I'll keep writing.
Later! ^_^
