Okay, starting chapter 2! Maybe I'm a bit quick, but I think people like
fast updates, ne?
As I said in my last note last chapter, I have never been in that kind of relationship, I actually haven't even had a 'real' boyfriend (If you don't count your best pal in day-care or something). I have NEVER been kissed, (That's too bad really...) so if you have comment on my writing in this kind of situations, tell me HOW to do it then. I can't help that I haven't had a boyfriend... *Whine*
Ah well, let's go on in this story, Maybe a little more fluffyness here and that kind of things. And I AM planning to have lyrics in nearly each chapter, it seems so nice to have it...

"Talking"
Lyrics
*Last chapter happenings*
The group faced Naraku and Hakudoushi in a last final battle. Surprising help was get from Kouga, Sesshomaru, Kanna and Kagura. Kikyo also did her part, but died in the process. Hakudoushi was killed by Kagomes Arrow and Kougas attacks, while Naraku was killed by Inuyasha, with Diamond Tetsusaigas attack 'Kongousouha' Inuyasha is depressed over Kikyos death and Kagome tries to make things better. In the end of the night Inuyasha and Kagome are officially mates, since Inuyasha marked her. Reactions were different on that news...
_.-:~*Chapter 2 – Caring for you *~:-._
"That dog, how DARE he...!?" Kouga muttered, sitting on a cliff throwing stones at the opposite mountain wall. "I said all along Kagome was MY woman, not anyone else's, and then he MARKS her...!" He threw a stone so hard in the stone wall that a crack appeared on it. He sighed and only got angrier. He stood up and yelled:
"I will not allow it..." He silenced. 'But what CAN I do about it?' He sat down again with a sigh, and took out his anger on the wall in front of him, imagining it was Inuyasha.
~*~
"Say Kagome-chan" Sango said and looked at the 18-year-old Miko looking over her little brother to find the best way of taking the shard out without killing him.
"Hai?" she asked. She laid her hand on Kohakus back and tried to purify the shard as first attempt. And to her surprise, it actually worked. She looked at the other part of the jewel, and took a shard from it, planting it next to the first before fusing them. Sango watched in awe before asking:
"Why actually did Inuyasha mark you?" Kagome looked up with a confused look. Kohaku was regaining consciousness now he had a better regenerating ability because of the shards his wound in the back started healing faster. "I mean, you've known each other for three years, why now?"
"Because I need to go back, for a longer time" Kagome said. "The school I am attempting... I will have to live there for two years, so..."
"He doesn't want anyone else to get you, right?" Kagome nodded. Kohaku tried to stand up, but she got him down again.
"Don't move, I need to see if I can get this out of you" The boy looked up and nodded. Sango had spoken to him earlier, and she knew that it hurt to go through a thing like this. Miroku, Shippou and Inuyasha sat a bit away. Inuyasha was lying in the tree and watched Kagome all the time. Shippou played with Kirara, and Miroku was either watching the girls or, as he now had done for the last ten minutes, watching Inuyasha.
'I REALLY wonder what happened... I WANT TO KNOW!" He mentally screamed. Inuyasha took his view from Kagome and stared at him.
"You know, it's really annoying having you stare at me the whole time" He said before looking away again. He inhaled the scent of Kagome that now was nearly spread across the whole mountain it seemed. He still remembered yesterday, the taste of her lips, her soft skin... all of it. And he just COULDN'T stop thinking of it!
"I am just curious" Miroku said. Inuyasha snorted.
"You only want to know what happened between me and Kagome yesterday, don't you?" He smirked. "Just because you never had anything"
"Not true!" Miroku defended himself.
"I mean with the woman you chose, Sango" Inuyasha smirked as Mirokus shoulders slumped. "You really don't know anything with her, right?"
"Okay, I haven't got anything with her! But please... just one thing?" Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Okay fine, we kissed. Happy now?"
"Really?" Miroku sounded like a ten-year-old boy who gets to know he is getting a new toy. "Please tell me.."
"I already told you one thing!" Inuyasha said annoyed. Miroku looked at him with big puppy-eyes. "And don't give me that look..."
"Aw... please!?" Miroku pleaded. Inuyasha sighed again.
"You know you're annoying right now?" he asked.
"I stop if you tell" Miroku said.
"But that was the only thing, a kiss, don't you get it?" Inuyasha sounded really ticked now.
"That's no fun, I want details!" Inuyasha frowned at him.
"Go get yourself an ability of mind-reading, that's the only way you get to know"
"Aw, COME ON NOW!" Miroku said a little louder than he needed. Both girls looked back at them before turning and giggling. Inuyasha smiled a little, but ignored Miroku. The monk smiled.
"If you don't, I will let Kagome know that you hit Shippou"
"But I did not!"
"I can make Shippou fake a little" Miroku smirked as he saw Inuyasha trying to find a way out of it. After some seconds the Hanyo sighed.
"Have I told you you're really annoying?"
"Not too many times" Miroku smirked. Inuyasha sighed.
"Fine with me, what do you want to know?"
"Everything" Miroku said happily. Inuyasha cast him a glare but told him about it.
~*~
Sango glanced backwards again.
"Looks like Miroku got him falling" Kagome looked backwards and laughed.
"Well, he is quite stubborn once he wants to know something" Sango watched as Kagome checked Kohakus wound, it was almost healed. With the help of Miko energy she could keep the place where the shard was open, until it was enough healed to take it out.
"Can't you tell me what happened then???" Sango pleaded. Kagome laughed.
"Well, I think that Inuyasha wouldn't mind, he had to tell Miroku"
"Poor lad, Miroku will be all over him" Sango grinned. Kagome looked around and then asked:
"You know where Kouga went?"
"Probably taking out his anger somewhere, he got really upset" Kagome shrugged her shoulders.
"Well, he HAS said me to be his woman for three years, and then it would be hard to accept I'm somebody else's"
"He's nearly as stubborn as Inuyasha... Hey, you're leading me of the track!"
"Sch, I need to get it out now, so don't disturb me" Sango went quiet as Kagome carefully picked the shard out. Afterwards she looked at the now quite small wound. "This will heal fine" She stated happily. She fused the shard back into the jewel and looked at the last two spaces.
"I'll go find Kouga" She said and went away. Sango nodded first but then remembered something.
"Hey you didn't tell..." But Kagome already left. She shrugged her shoulders, Miroku would probably tell her later if she asked.
~*~
Kouga felt Kagomes scent before he heard her footsteps. He threw another stone at the wall. Kagome stopped behind him.
"Seems like Sango was right" She said. "You are taking out your anger on something"
"Just so that the dog doesn't get himself a punch in the face" He muttered. Kagome shook her head before sitting down. Kouga threw a look towards the mark spot but then looked forward again. "Why are you coming here?"
"Well, first of, you have the last two shards, and second... I wanted to talk to you" Kouga looked a bit surprised at her.
"Well..." He took the shards from his legs and gave them to her. "I will miss the speed..." He muttered. She smiled. The two shards were laid by the jewel and then fused, revealing a whole, complete Shikon no Tama.
"After three years, I have made up to my mistake" She said. "But when I think off it, if I hadn't shattered it... none of us would have met or become friends..." He snorted.
"I'm not really friend with doggie, right?"
"No, but you wouldn't have met me you know..." She said slyly. He chuckled.
"You're right... and even if I can't get you, it was good while it lasted..."
"But I had fallen deep already after the first meeting with Inuyasha... I just didn't realize it" She said. "And he was also the one getting my first kiss, that's special..." Kouga nodded.
"Indeed it is, both for the receiver and the giver" He shrugged his shoulder. "I just wish it had been me"
"But you know now, I loved him from start, that's why I never could go to you" She smiled. "You're a nice guy too Kouga, but I was already in love"
"I realize that" He said and stood up. He began walking back to the camp. She sat there studying the stone wall. She heard someone call her name and got up, smiled once at the wall before leaving.
~*~
Miroku seemed really happy when they were about to leave. Kagome shook his head at him and got her bag carefully, not wanting to get the jar broken.
"Bouzu!" Inuyasha yelled at him as he chirped again. "Can you please STOP it?"
"Nope" Miroku answered. Inuyasha sighed. 'I should never have told him' somehow it had ended up Miroku knowing ALL details. Probably that was what made him so happy. Sango smiled a little, she would get to know as well, but she needed to get a little free space with Miroku... something she usually doesn't want.
"Hey Miroku, can you help me over here?" She asked from a distance. Kagome looked around as the monk left.
"Where did Kohaku go?"
"The kid went of to the exterminator village, alone" Inuyasha said. "He said he needed to tell them he was sorry"
"Okay..." Kagome smiled at him. Shippou stared at her and then walked away, following Kirara.
"Adults..." Inuyasha smiled a little smile back towards Kagome, but put on his normal face when somebody came near.
"Hey Yasha" Kagome whispered. "You don't HAVE to do like you are not mattered of anything"
"I've always done so... but if you want me not to..." He smiled again.
"See, that's better!" Kagome chirped. Inuyasha stared after her as she went away to get Shippou again.
'That girl is something special... And now she's my mate...' He thought.
"Hey, Dog-Turd! Help me out here!" Kouga yelled. He turned around.
"Help you with what?" He asked. Kouga growled.
"Just come here and help me move this damn stone!" Inuyasha walked towards him, the stone was indeed big, but was needed to get everyone over a cliff to another, at least Kouga thought so.
"But we have a flying cat-youkai" Inuyasha said. "We don't need the stone"
"Really?" Kouga asked with sarcasm. "Then outta my face" Inuyasha shook his head and turned around. He took a few steps and then turned back.
"Where are you going when we get back?" He asked. Kouga answered muttering:
"Dunn actually" He sighed. "Since Hakudoushi killed my tribe... well, I'm actually no tribe leader anymore..." (A/N: Don't think this happens in the real series, but in my story it does :P)
"Then come with us" Inuyasha suggested. "Miroku and Sango will get married in about a month now, and I... well... I will jus wait for Kagome all my life I guess, but it's worth it" Kouga thought over it.
"Really sure?"
"Yup" Inuyasha turned back again. "You just choose" Then he walked away to help the others out. He heard some happy chirpings from Sango and understood that Miroku was telling her all the details as well. He sighed. 'I have no privacy with them around...'
Kagome had packed the last few things and held the Shikon no Tama in her hand, its pinkish light shone and made her feel delighted. And sad. Her quest was over now. She touched her mark with her other hand, and smiled again. She at least would have a great memory of Inuyasha... He sat down next to her.
"Does it hurt?" He asked. She shook her head.
"No, I was just thinking" He looked at the jewel.
"What shall we do now?"
"You wanted it right? You should use it"
"What if I don't want to?" She stared at him in disbelief. He sighed and looked out in the air.
"Remember that night we spoke about it? You told me you liked me better when I was a Hanyo?" She nodded and he continued. "It was that I reheard in my head as Kaguya tried to suck my human part out, it helped me hesitating. And then... well... It seemed not right anymore... To became something like that..." Kagome sighed at the memory.
"I gave you my first kiss then..." She whispered. He looked at her.
"Y...Your first kiss?" She nodded. "But..." He looked ashamed.
"Hey, it was of my own free will! And I never regretted it..."
"I can't say it was my first, but... When I think, that was the one I remembered clearest..." He chuckled. "Until now" She laughed a little as well.
"Well, I agree"
~*~
Sango glanced at them. "They're such a cute couple"
"Hai... And Sango... you remember right?" Miroku said.
"Nani?" She asked.
"I asked you a question once, about when this was ended..." he looked at his right hand, where his Kazaana had been. "Do you still want to?"
"Of course!" Sango smiled. "Why would I have said yes otherwise?"
"And you realize that time is now?"
"Of course, Baka!" Miroku smirked.
"Wedding in a month darling?"
"Hm... let's see if you can keep your hand where it belongs" Sango said.
"It belongs with you, so yes" Sango laughed before getting her last thing, her Hiraikotsu.
"We can leave now!" She stated.
Kitto kitto bokutachi wa,
ikiru hodo ni shitteyuku,
soshite soshite bokutachi wa,
ikiru hodo ni wasureteku
Everybody got up and got of. When they reached the first cliff Kagome as usual climbed onto Inuyashas back, waiting for the others. Kouga watched the next cliff and decided that he could make it. Miroku and Sango held onto Shippou on Kiraras back. They all nodded before jumping away. Following cliffs the whole way.
Hajimari ga aru mono ni wa,
Itsu no hi ka owari mo aru koto,
Iki toshi ikeru mono nara,
Sono subete ni
Kagome looked over to all her friends, and wished that somehow this was not the end... But she felt happy together with her friends, and that was enough... for a while...
Moshimo kono sekai ga shousha to haisha to no,
Futatsu kiri ni wakareru nara,
Aa boku wa haisha de ii,
Itsu datte haisha de itai n da
Inuyasha glanced up at her, seeing the sadness in her eyes, and in her scent. 'I hope I see her again... I MUST see her again!!!' But somehow, her sadness made him sad... too.
Kitto kitto bokutachi wa,
Kanashii hodo ni utsukushiku,
Yue ni yue ni bokutachi wa,
Kanashii hodo ni kegareteku
He thought about the possibility off him living with her, but as she said, she had two years when she was living at school...
Mamoru beki mono no tame ni,
Kyou mo mata nanika o gisei ni,
Iki toshi ikeru mono no tachi,
Sono subete ga
"Kagome?" He asked. She looked down.
"Hai?" She asked. He smiled.
"Do as you said to me this morning, I want to see you smile Kagome!" She chuckled and did indeed smile, warm and happily. 'I really like Inuyasha's company...'
Moshimo kono sekai ga shousha to haisha to no,
Futatsu kiri ni wakareru nara,
Aa boku wa haisha de ii,
Itsu datte haisha de itai n da
"Inuyasha... I..." she started but didn't know how to say it. Probably she would never come back... he didn't knew what her time did to you... She bit her lip to not cry and as he looked up and asked:
"Hai?" She answered with a: "Eh... nothing..."
Boku wa kimi ni nani o tsutaerareru darou,
Konna chippoke de chisana boku de shika nai,
Ima wa kore ijou hanasu no wa yametoku yo,
Kotoba wa sou amari ni mo,
Toki ni muryoku dakara...
He shrugged his shoulders and continued running. They soon saw the village up ahead. Kagome felt her heart sink for each inch. She sighed. Inuyasha smelled her depression. 'She is thinking off the goodbye...' he thought. 'So do I...' They stopped outside of Kaede's hut. The old priestess came out.
"Are ye back now?" She asked. Kagome nodded, and then silently got the jar from her bag. She reached it over.
"Kikyo died in the battle... we burned her again..." Kaede silently took the jar.
"I will rebuild the shrine, to bring hope back... The jewel?" Kagome took the jewel from the necklace she had and showed it.
"After three years... ye finally got it together..." Kaede took it and then looked over to Inuyasha. "Ye still seek to use it?"
"Nope..." He said. Kaede stared at him first. "I will not use it"
"Strange lad ye are indeed Inuyasha" She said. Kagome rubbed her neck which was aching a little. "Are ye hurt Kagome?"
"Not like that... it just aches a bit" Kaede stared at her as well and Inuyasha changed his weight from his right to his left, as he was embarrassed. Kaede smirked a little.
"Inuyasha, I never thought ye would" This made his face turn into a crimson red colour. The old woman laughed softly. "Ye where made for each other... I could see that..." She sat down.
"Kagome, are ye going back to your own time now?" Kagome flinched.
"I... I'm not sure... well... but..." She shook her head. "I don't know..."
"Your mother would probably want you back..." Inuyasha said. Kagome looked at him; saw the sadness in his eyes.
"Probably yes... but..." She swallowed; her throat seemed to have frozen. "I..." She silenced and turned, walking out. Inuyasha only shot a glance at Kaede, snapped the jewel from her and then following, the old woman was smiling.
~*~
"KAGOME!" She turned and faced Inuyasha just by the edge of the forest. He looked at her. "You're leaving, aren't you?" She looked at her feet, and nodded. He let his arms fall to his side. "Well... let me at least follow you to the well..." She heard his sorrow, heard his hurt, but she couldn't do anything about it... She nodded again and together, under silence, they walked the way towards the well. Inuyasha held the jewel in his right hand. He glanced down at it. And then sighed. 'If this wasn't over... why did the best things happen when it was over?' Kagome got her bike from some bushes and lead it the last way. As she stopped by the well, she laid it down again. The holden tears now came up into her eyes and she threw herself into his arms. He wrapped his arms around her and let her cry against him, just like she had done to him yesterday. He felt his own tears start building up in his eyes. 'Is this... really it?' Kagome cried a little while and then looked up.
"Inuyasha, I will miss you so much!" She snivelled once before continuing "And the others too..." he held her tighter.
"I will miss you too..." He whispered. Kagome broke out of his embrace a few minutes later. She turned.
"I will see if I come back... maybe..." Inuyasha walked to her and put the jewel in her hand.
"B...But..." She stammered. "You are supposed to have this..."
"No Kagome, Keep the Jewel, in case you ever want to come back... I will wait for you my love..." She started to cry again.
"I don't want too leave! But then..." She sighed. "I have no choice..." He stroke her hair softly.
"Keep the jewel as a memory of me..." He said. She looked up.
"I can't forget you that easy! And you don't have anything from me..."
"Haven't I?" He looked at himself. "You changed me into a whole different person- that is something I never forget..."
"But nothing given to you!" She said. He touched the prayer beads.
"These have for me always represent you, and if you think of it, I got it from you..." Then he took out a golden medallion from a pocket. "And this one was also given by you..." She nodded a little. She pulled a thing out of her bag. He took it from her outstretched hand. It was a photograph. The whole group... He knew that day. He had been really confused with the flashing light thingie...
"Thanks..." He said. She smiled.
"Let everybody have a chance to look at that..." She looked up at him. "Can I get a goodbye kiss at least?" He smiled.
"Anytime" He kissed her. She felt his strong arms around her, but she wanted more. This time she asked for entrance first. He willingly opened his mouth for her. She searched deep in his mouth, trying to memorize the feeling of his embrace, all of it...
He started teasing her again, blocking and pushing her back. 'What a thing to do in this situation...' She thought before doing her favourite way to stop him, by stroking his ears. He moaned as she did, and she caressed his mouth and tongue. She felt his arms loosen a bit; he was sliding one hand up her shirt, before drawing it down her spine. She shivered in pleasure and let out a small moan. He pushed his tongue into her mouth, caressing her and teasing her at the same time. She realized he wanted a response. She stroke his ears some more, only to make him shiver. He drew his claws harder against her back. She let out her whimpering moan and shivered through her whole body. He used that time to take more depth in the kiss, tilting her head and exploring her mouth to the depths.
She had no chance of resisting. She could only accept. Her hands still stroke his ears, and he responded by slowly drawing one claw down her back, while the other hand was moved through her hair. Kagome tried resisting, tried to get a chance of turning, but it just didn't work, she couldn't stand against him, in no way. She tried to stroke his ears more, and finding him groan into her mouth and loosing up. She used this some times to get herself into his mouth, but nearly fell back against his tongue when he drew his hand through her hair or his claw down her spine.
He suddenly let her into his mouth, allowed her to do her will for a time. She stroke his ears more firmly and felt him shiver, and then felt his response down her back. She seeked the depths of his mouth, and he allowed it. He only few times teased her a little, and drew his claws down her back or trough her hair. She sank her hands and drew one through his hair while the other stayed on his shoulder. He decided it was his turn again, and pushed her tongue away, drawing a groan from her. She put her hands back on his ears, wanting him to response, and so he did. She grasped as he roughly drew his claws down her back, and he immediately seeked deep into her mouth. She shivered, somehow this never seemed enough. She tried to pass into his mouth again, trying to get some time for her too.
He drew his tongue over her own and then took her into his mouth, again willingly. She stroke his ears, making him moan and the caressed his mouth and tongue once again. When she was pulling back the kiss, he once again wanted to be the last one, and seeked deeper than ever, making her grasp again. He slowly drew back and at the meantime drew both hands trough her hair. She sank her hands and broke the kiss as he had pulled back. Her heartbeat was in her throat, her breath grasping. He wasn't better. He breathed heavily and could feel his heart race.
"Thanks..." She said panting. He smiled.
"As I said, anytime" She turned to her stuff. Then turned back.
"If I don't come back, will you get someone else then?" He shook his head.
"No one can replace you" She smiled.
"Then... goodbye Inuyasha..."
"Goodbye... My love" She smiled a last time before taking her bike and get down the well. He walked forward and sat down on the edge of the well.
"I will wait for you..." He turned to the audience he had noticed before. "Got a good view?" he asked sarcastically.
"Eh..." Miroku said walking into the meadow. Sango wasn't slow after.
"Ke! I knew you couldn't stay away" Inuyasha said, but his 'Ke' wasn't as strong as it was before. He already missed her, missed her touch...
"But that was... breathtaking!" Miroku said. Sango nodded.
"Was it that way last night too?"
"Mhm..." He answered, staring down the well. "Do you think she returns?"
"Hai, but when we don't know..." Miroku said slowly. Inuyasha rose up, and took up the photograph from the ground.
"I will wait, what time it may take..." He said. He walked out of the meadow. The other two looked at the well once before following.
_.-:~*End Chapter*~:-._
Aw... Is she really gone forever? 'Don't think so...' Ah well. Like, no like? Fluff in here too, I kinda like it...
Two chapters in one day! Active one I am, ne? I had some time over, and this chapter wasn't as long as the first, but it seemed right to stop there.
So... until next time...
JA NE!
/Ashley
As I said in my last note last chapter, I have never been in that kind of relationship, I actually haven't even had a 'real' boyfriend (If you don't count your best pal in day-care or something). I have NEVER been kissed, (That's too bad really...) so if you have comment on my writing in this kind of situations, tell me HOW to do it then. I can't help that I haven't had a boyfriend... *Whine*
Ah well, let's go on in this story, Maybe a little more fluffyness here and that kind of things. And I AM planning to have lyrics in nearly each chapter, it seems so nice to have it...

"That dog, how DARE he...!?" Kouga muttered, sitting on a cliff throwing stones at the opposite mountain wall. "I said all along Kagome was MY woman, not anyone else's, and then he MARKS her...!" He threw a stone so hard in the stone wall that a crack appeared on it. He sighed and only got angrier. He stood up and yelled:
"I will not allow it..." He silenced. 'But what CAN I do about it?' He sat down again with a sigh, and took out his anger on the wall in front of him, imagining it was Inuyasha.

"Say Kagome-chan" Sango said and looked at the 18-year-old Miko looking over her little brother to find the best way of taking the shard out without killing him.
"Hai?" she asked. She laid her hand on Kohakus back and tried to purify the shard as first attempt. And to her surprise, it actually worked. She looked at the other part of the jewel, and took a shard from it, planting it next to the first before fusing them. Sango watched in awe before asking:
"Why actually did Inuyasha mark you?" Kagome looked up with a confused look. Kohaku was regaining consciousness now he had a better regenerating ability because of the shards his wound in the back started healing faster. "I mean, you've known each other for three years, why now?"
"Because I need to go back, for a longer time" Kagome said. "The school I am attempting... I will have to live there for two years, so..."
"He doesn't want anyone else to get you, right?" Kagome nodded. Kohaku tried to stand up, but she got him down again.

"I already told you one thing!" Inuyasha said annoyed. Miroku looked at him with big puppy-eyes. "And don't give me that look..."
"Aw... please!?" Miroku pleaded. Inuyasha sighed again.
"You know you're annoying right now?" he asked.
"I stop if you tell" Miroku said.
"But that was the only thing, a kiss, don't you get it?" Inuyasha sounded really ticked now.
"That's no fun, I want details!" Inuyasha frowned at him.
"Go get yourself an ability of mind-reading, that's the only way you get to know"
"Aw, COME ON NOW!" Miroku said a little louder than he needed. Both girls looked back at them before turning and giggling. Inuyasha smiled a little, but ignored Miroku. The monk smiled.
"If you don't, I will let Kagome know that you hit Shippou"
"But I did not!"
"I can make Shippou fake a little" Miroku smirked as he saw Inuyasha trying to find a way out of it. After some seconds the Hanyo sighed.
"Have I told you you're really annoying?"
"Not too many times" Miroku smirked. Inuyasha sighed.
"Fine with me, what do you want to know?"
"Everything" Miroku said happily. Inuyasha cast him a glare but told him about it.
~*~
Sango glanced backwards again.
"Looks like Miroku got him falling" Kagome looked backwards and laughed.
"Well, he is quite stubborn once he wants to know something" Sango watched as Kagome checked Kohakus wound, it was almost healed. With the help of Miko energy she could keep the place where the shard was open, until it was enough healed to take it out.
"Can't you tell me what happened then???" Sango pleaded. Kagome laughed.
"Well, I think that Inuyasha wouldn't mind, he had to tell Miroku"
"Poor lad, Miroku will be all over him" Sango grinned. Kagome looked around and then asked:
"You know where Kouga went?"
"Probably taking out his anger somewhere, he got really upset" Kagome shrugged her shoulders.
"Well, he HAS said me to be his woman for three years, and then it would be hard to accept I'm somebody else's"
"He's nearly as stubborn as Inuyasha... Hey, you're leading me of the track!"
"Sch, I need to get it out now, so don't disturb me" Sango went quiet as Kagome carefully picked the shard out. Afterwards she looked at the now quite small wound. "This will heal fine" She stated happily. She fused the shard back into the jewel and looked at the last two spaces.
"I'll go find Kouga" She said and went away. Sango nodded first but then remembered something.
"Hey you didn't tell..." But Kagome already left. She shrugged her shoulders, Miroku would probably tell her later if she asked.
~*~
Kouga felt Kagomes scent before he heard her footsteps. He threw another stone at the wall. Kagome stopped behind him.
"Seems like Sango was right" She said. "You are taking out your anger on something"
"Just so that the dog doesn't get himself a punch in the face" He muttered. Kagome shook her head before sitting down. Kouga threw a look towards the mark spot but then looked forward again. "Why are you coming here?"
"Well, first of, you have the last two shards, and second... I wanted to talk to you" Kouga looked a bit surprised at her.
"Well..." He took the shards from his legs and gave them to her. "I will miss the speed..." He muttered. She smiled. The two shards were laid by the jewel and then fused, revealing a whole, complete Shikon no Tama.
"After three years, I have made up to my mistake" She said. "But when I think off it, if I hadn't shattered it... none of us would have met or become friends..." He snorted.
"I'm not really friend with doggie, right?"
"No, but you wouldn't have met me you know..." She said slyly. He chuckled.
"You're right... and even if I can't get you, it was good while it lasted..."
"But I had fallen deep already after the first meeting with Inuyasha... I just didn't realize it" She said. "And he was also the one getting my first kiss, that's special..." Kouga nodded.
"Indeed it is, both for the receiver and the giver" He shrugged his shoulder. "I just wish it had been me"
"But you know now, I loved him from start, that's why I never could go to you" She smiled. "You're a nice guy too Kouga, but I was already in love"
"I realize that" He said and stood up. He began walking back to the camp. She sat there studying the stone wall. She heard someone call her name and got up, smiled once at the wall before leaving.
~*~
Miroku seemed really happy when they were about to leave. Kagome shook his head at him and got her bag carefully, not wanting to get the jar broken.
"Bouzu!" Inuyasha yelled at him as he chirped again. "Can you please STOP it?"
"Nope" Miroku answered. Inuyasha sighed. 'I should never have told him' somehow it had ended up Miroku knowing ALL details. Probably that was what made him so happy. Sango smiled a little, she would get to know as well, but she needed to get a little free space with Miroku... something she usually doesn't want.
"Hey Miroku, can you help me over here?" She asked from a distance. Kagome looked around as the monk left.
"Where did Kohaku go?"
"The kid went of to the exterminator village, alone" Inuyasha said. "He said he needed to tell them he was sorry"
"Okay..." Kagome smiled at him. Shippou stared at her and then walked away, following Kirara.
"Adults..." Inuyasha smiled a little smile back towards Kagome, but put on his normal face when somebody came near.
"Hey Yasha" Kagome whispered. "You don't HAVE to do like you are not mattered of anything"
"I've always done so... but if you want me not to..." He smiled again.
"See, that's better!" Kagome chirped. Inuyasha stared after her as she went away to get Shippou again.
'That girl is something special... And now she's my mate...' He thought.
"Hey, Dog-Turd! Help me out here!" Kouga yelled. He turned around.
"Help you with what?" He asked. Kouga growled.
"Just come here and help me move this damn stone!" Inuyasha walked towards him, the stone was indeed big, but was needed to get everyone over a cliff to another, at least Kouga thought so.
"But we have a flying cat-youkai" Inuyasha said. "We don't need the stone"
"Really?" Kouga asked with sarcasm. "Then outta my face" Inuyasha shook his head and turned around. He took a few steps and then turned back.
"Where are you going when we get back?" He asked. Kouga answered muttering:
"Dunn actually" He sighed. "Since Hakudoushi killed my tribe... well, I'm actually no tribe leader anymore..." (A/N: Don't think this happens in the real series, but in my story it does :P)
"Then come with us" Inuyasha suggested. "Miroku and Sango will get married in about a month now, and I... well... I will jus wait for Kagome all my life I guess, but it's worth it" Kouga thought over it.
"Really sure?"
"Yup" Inuyasha turned back again. "You just choose" Then he walked away to help the others out. He heard some happy chirpings from Sango and understood that Miroku was telling her all the details as well. He sighed. 'I have no privacy with them around...'
Kagome had packed the last few things and held the Shikon no Tama in her hand, its pinkish light shone and made her feel delighted. And sad. Her quest was over now. She touched her mark with her other hand, and smiled again. She at least would have a great memory of Inuyasha... He sat down next to her.
"Does it hurt?" He asked. She shook her head.
"No, I was just thinking" He looked at the jewel.
"What shall we do now?"
"You wanted it right? You should use it"
"What if I don't want to?" She stared at him in disbelief. He sighed and looked out in the air.
"Remember that night we spoke about it? You told me you liked me better when I was a Hanyo?" She nodded and he continued. "It was that I reheard in my head as Kaguya tried to suck my human part out, it helped me hesitating. And then... well... It seemed not right anymore... To became something like that..." Kagome sighed at the memory.
"I gave you my first kiss then..." She whispered. He looked at her.
"Y...Your first kiss?" She nodded. "But..." He looked ashamed.
"Hey, it was of my own free will! And I never regretted it..."
"I can't say it was my first, but... When I think, that was the one I remembered clearest..." He chuckled. "Until now" She laughed a little as well.
"Well, I agree"
~*~
Sango glanced at them. "They're such a cute couple"
"Hai... And Sango... you remember right?" Miroku said.
"Nani?" She asked.
"I asked you a question once, about when this was ended..." he looked at his right hand, where his Kazaana had been. "Do you still want to?"
"Of course!" Sango smiled. "Why would I have said yes otherwise?"
"And you realize that time is now?"
"Of course, Baka!" Miroku smirked.
"Wedding in a month darling?"
"Hm... let's see if you can keep your hand where it belongs" Sango said.
"It belongs with you, so yes" Sango laughed before getting her last thing, her Hiraikotsu.
"We can leave now!" She stated.
Kitto kitto bokutachi wa,
ikiru hodo ni shitteyuku,
soshite soshite bokutachi wa,
ikiru hodo ni wasureteku
Everybody got up and got of. When they reached the first cliff Kagome as usual climbed onto Inuyashas back, waiting for the others. Kouga watched the next cliff and decided that he could make it. Miroku and Sango held onto Shippou on Kiraras back. They all nodded before jumping away. Following cliffs the whole way.
Hajimari ga aru mono ni wa,
Itsu no hi ka owari mo aru koto,
Iki toshi ikeru mono nara,
Sono subete ni
Kagome looked over to all her friends, and wished that somehow this was not the end... But she felt happy together with her friends, and that was enough... for a while...
Moshimo kono sekai ga shousha to haisha to no,
Futatsu kiri ni wakareru nara,
Aa boku wa haisha de ii,
Itsu datte haisha de itai n da
Inuyasha glanced up at her, seeing the sadness in her eyes, and in her scent. 'I hope I see her again... I MUST see her again!!!' But somehow, her sadness made him sad... too.
Kitto kitto bokutachi wa,
Kanashii hodo ni utsukushiku,
Yue ni yue ni bokutachi wa,
Kanashii hodo ni kegareteku
He thought about the possibility off him living with her, but as she said, she had two years when she was living at school...
Mamoru beki mono no tame ni,
Kyou mo mata nanika o gisei ni,
Iki toshi ikeru mono no tachi,
Sono subete ga
"Kagome?" He asked. She looked down.
"Hai?" She asked. He smiled.
"Do as you said to me this morning, I want to see you smile Kagome!" She chuckled and did indeed smile, warm and happily. 'I really like Inuyasha's company...'
Moshimo kono sekai ga shousha to haisha to no,
Futatsu kiri ni wakareru nara,
Aa boku wa haisha de ii,
Itsu datte haisha de itai n da
"Inuyasha... I..." she started but didn't know how to say it. Probably she would never come back... he didn't knew what her time did to you... She bit her lip to not cry and as he looked up and asked:
"Hai?" She answered with a: "Eh... nothing..."
Boku wa kimi ni nani o tsutaerareru darou,
Konna chippoke de chisana boku de shika nai,
Ima wa kore ijou hanasu no wa yametoku yo,
Kotoba wa sou amari ni mo,
Toki ni muryoku dakara...
He shrugged his shoulders and continued running. They soon saw the village up ahead. Kagome felt her heart sink for each inch. She sighed. Inuyasha smelled her depression. 'She is thinking off the goodbye...' he thought. 'So do I...' They stopped outside of Kaede's hut. The old priestess came out.
"Are ye back now?" She asked. Kagome nodded, and then silently got the jar from her bag. She reached it over.
"Kikyo died in the battle... we burned her again..." Kaede silently took the jar.
"I will rebuild the shrine, to bring hope back... The jewel?" Kagome took the jewel from the necklace she had and showed it.
"After three years... ye finally got it together..." Kaede took it and then looked over to Inuyasha. "Ye still seek to use it?"
"Nope..." He said. Kaede stared at him first. "I will not use it"
"Strange lad ye are indeed Inuyasha" She said. Kagome rubbed her neck which was aching a little. "Are ye hurt Kagome?"
"Not like that... it just aches a bit" Kaede stared at her as well and Inuyasha changed his weight from his right to his left, as he was embarrassed. Kaede smirked a little.
"Inuyasha, I never thought ye would" This made his face turn into a crimson red colour. The old woman laughed softly. "Ye where made for each other... I could see that..." She sat down.
"Kagome, are ye going back to your own time now?" Kagome flinched.
"I... I'm not sure... well... but..." She shook her head. "I don't know..."
"Your mother would probably want you back..." Inuyasha said. Kagome looked at him; saw the sadness in his eyes.
"Probably yes... but..." She swallowed; her throat seemed to have frozen. "I..." She silenced and turned, walking out. Inuyasha only shot a glance at Kaede, snapped the jewel from her and then following, the old woman was smiling.
~*~
"KAGOME!" She turned and faced Inuyasha just by the edge of the forest. He looked at her. "You're leaving, aren't you?" She looked at her feet, and nodded. He let his arms fall to his side. "Well... let me at least follow you to the well..." She heard his sorrow, heard his hurt, but she couldn't do anything about it... She nodded again and together, under silence, they walked the way towards the well. Inuyasha held the jewel in his right hand. He glanced down at it. And then sighed. 'If this wasn't over... why did the best things happen when it was over?' Kagome got her bike from some bushes and lead it the last way. As she stopped by the well, she laid it down again. The holden tears now came up into her eyes and she threw herself into his arms. He wrapped his arms around her and let her cry against him, just like she had done to him yesterday. He felt his own tears start building up in his eyes. 'Is this... really it?' Kagome cried a little while and then looked up.
"Inuyasha, I will miss you so much!" She snivelled once before continuing "And the others too..." he held her tighter.
"I will miss you too..." He whispered. Kagome broke out of his embrace a few minutes later. She turned.
"I will see if I come back... maybe..." Inuyasha walked to her and put the jewel in her hand.
"B...But..." She stammered. "You are supposed to have this..."
"No Kagome, Keep the Jewel, in case you ever want to come back... I will wait for you my love..." She started to cry again.
"I don't want too leave! But then..." She sighed. "I have no choice..." He stroke her hair softly.
"Keep the jewel as a memory of me..." He said. She looked up.
"I can't forget you that easy! And you don't have anything from me..."
"Haven't I?" He looked at himself. "You changed me into a whole different person- that is something I never forget..."
"But nothing given to you!" She said. He touched the prayer beads.
"These have for me always represent you, and if you think of it, I got it from you..." Then he took out a golden medallion from a pocket. "And this one was also given by you..." She nodded a little. She pulled a thing out of her bag. He took it from her outstretched hand. It was a photograph. The whole group... He knew that day. He had been really confused with the flashing light thingie...
"Thanks..." He said. She smiled.
"Let everybody have a chance to look at that..." She looked up at him. "Can I get a goodbye kiss at least?" He smiled.
"Anytime" He kissed her. She felt his strong arms around her, but she wanted more. This time she asked for entrance first. He willingly opened his mouth for her. She searched deep in his mouth, trying to memorize the feeling of his embrace, all of it...
He started teasing her again, blocking and pushing her back. 'What a thing to do in this situation...' She thought before doing her favourite way to stop him, by stroking his ears. He moaned as she did, and she caressed his mouth and tongue. She felt his arms loosen a bit; he was sliding one hand up her shirt, before drawing it down her spine. She shivered in pleasure and let out a small moan. He pushed his tongue into her mouth, caressing her and teasing her at the same time. She realized he wanted a response. She stroke his ears some more, only to make him shiver. He drew his claws harder against her back. She let out her whimpering moan and shivered through her whole body. He used that time to take more depth in the kiss, tilting her head and exploring her mouth to the depths.
She had no chance of resisting. She could only accept. Her hands still stroke his ears, and he responded by slowly drawing one claw down her back, while the other hand was moved through her hair. Kagome tried resisting, tried to get a chance of turning, but it just didn't work, she couldn't stand against him, in no way. She tried to stroke his ears more, and finding him groan into her mouth and loosing up. She used this some times to get herself into his mouth, but nearly fell back against his tongue when he drew his hand through her hair or his claw down her spine.
He suddenly let her into his mouth, allowed her to do her will for a time. She stroke his ears more firmly and felt him shiver, and then felt his response down her back. She seeked the depths of his mouth, and he allowed it. He only few times teased her a little, and drew his claws down her back or trough her hair. She sank her hands and drew one through his hair while the other stayed on his shoulder. He decided it was his turn again, and pushed her tongue away, drawing a groan from her. She put her hands back on his ears, wanting him to response, and so he did. She grasped as he roughly drew his claws down her back, and he immediately seeked deep into her mouth. She shivered, somehow this never seemed enough. She tried to pass into his mouth again, trying to get some time for her too.
He drew his tongue over her own and then took her into his mouth, again willingly. She stroke his ears, making him moan and the caressed his mouth and tongue once again. When she was pulling back the kiss, he once again wanted to be the last one, and seeked deeper than ever, making her grasp again. He slowly drew back and at the meantime drew both hands trough her hair. She sank her hands and broke the kiss as he had pulled back. Her heartbeat was in her throat, her breath grasping. He wasn't better. He breathed heavily and could feel his heart race.
"Thanks..." She said panting. He smiled.
"As I said, anytime" She turned to her stuff. Then turned back.
"If I don't come back, will you get someone else then?" He shook his head.
"No one can replace you" She smiled.
"Then... goodbye Inuyasha..."
"Goodbye... My love" She smiled a last time before taking her bike and get down the well. He walked forward and sat down on the edge of the well.
"I will wait for you..." He turned to the audience he had noticed before. "Got a good view?" he asked sarcastically.
"Eh..." Miroku said walking into the meadow. Sango wasn't slow after.
"Ke! I knew you couldn't stay away" Inuyasha said, but his 'Ke' wasn't as strong as it was before. He already missed her, missed her touch...
"But that was... breathtaking!" Miroku said. Sango nodded.
"Was it that way last night too?"
"Mhm..." He answered, staring down the well. "Do you think she returns?"
"Hai, but when we don't know..." Miroku said slowly. Inuyasha rose up, and took up the photograph from the ground.
"I will wait, what time it may take..." He said. He walked out of the meadow. The other two looked at the well once before following.
_.-:~*End Chapter*~:-._
Aw... Is she really gone forever? 'Don't think so...' Ah well. Like, no like? Fluff in here too, I kinda like it...
Two chapters in one day! Active one I am, ne? I had some time over, and this chapter wasn't as long as the first, but it seemed right to stop there.
So... until next time...
JA NE!
