Chapter 22

Kagome and Inu-yasha went outside later that day to train. They had found a nice little clearing that they didn't even know was there but they shrugged it off. Inu-yasha had took out Tetssegia and started his training by seeing the wind scar between himself and Kagome. They did that a couple of times then started doing some fist fights.

"You're holding back" Kagome yelled at him. The statement was true. He was holding back because he didn't want to hurt Kagome. "You are also holding back" he smirked. Kagome smiled and yelled "Well maybe if you weren't holding back..." she let her sentence trail. Inu-yasha shook his head "You are going to pay for that one" he whispered but Kagome heard. She went to her fighting stance and prepared herself. But there was one thing she wasn't ready for.

He ran towards her smirking. He than tackled her to the ground and started tickling her. "Stop......Inu-yasha......please" she said through fits of laughter. "Not until you say your sorry" he said and evil smirk on his face. Kagome through giggling smirked back. This caught Inu-yasha's attention. But before he could do anything, Kagome was on top of him kissing him like there was no tomorrow. Her tongue slipped into his mouth and explored every inch of it. Soon she had to pull back for breathe leaving the hanyou behind her in a daze. She smiled and started kissing down his jaw line and down to the collar of his neck. While doing this she was taking off Inu-yasha's red fire rat jacket and his undershirt. Inu-yasha realized this, flipped her so that he was on top of her. Inu-yasha then preceded taking off the rest of her clothing until only her panties where on. Kagome was ready for the pleasure she desired. He then started with her breasts leaving nothing of them untouched. But Kagome flipped him and said "I got the attention last time now this time its your turn" She smirked leaving Inu-yasha in desire. She gave him a passion filled kiss on the lips and the proceeded her way down to she reached her destination. She then started taking off his pants leaving nothing untouched. She came back up till she reached his manhood. Looking down on it she grabbed it and pumped. Inu-yasha bucked his hips up in pleasure. Kagome then licked the tip of his manhood thinking 'I'm going to tease him for a little while' she smirked at him then pumped his manhood again. "Say you don't want me to stop" she said but was cut off short by a noise in the forest. Inu-yasha pushed her off and they both got their clothes on.

Kagome took her bow and arrows and got them ready for a battle. She wasn't afraid of what was coming but was rather annoyed. Who ever made them stop there pleasure was going to pay dearly. Kagome looked at Inu-yasha who was not annoyed but angry. Kagome then took her hand and rubbed his ear. She whispered "We will finish another time" Inu-yasha could only nod for an answer. He wasn't too happy though when Kagome pulled her hand away. He looked at her and saw her smile weakly at him. He didn't quite get the message but soon got it when she turned into Faith. His head came drooped but he decided that it was only for five days so he just hoped they would end quickly.

"Wait I can't fight this battle. This battle is meant for you Kagome" Faith said then she turned into a very confused Kagome. But the scent caught her nose and she growled. She looked at Inu-yasha and said "She's right this is my fight and no one else's" She laughed weakly and turned into her human form.

Now Inu-yasha was confused more than ever but all questions were answered when a girl came out of the forest. 'Kikyo but how did she survive?!' Inu-yasha thought. Then he realized this is the first time I have thought about her since me and Kagome became mates. Now I understand why this is Kagome's fight and why Faith backed down. He also backed down and said "Good luck Kagome" Kikyo heard this and her anger flared. "So this bitch means more to you than me. Well that's going to have to change" "Kikyo you are a sore loser aren't you" Kikyo now was angrier then before and showed it by flaring her miko powers up.

Kagome laughed she then showed a little of her miko powers and they both floated into the air.

Inu-yasha wanted to help but he knew there was nothing he could do.

Kagome came up to Kikyo in the air and said "I had a mission but after this it will be succeeded. Do you want to know what that mission was?" Kikyo gave her the evil eye but said nothing. "That mission was to put you to rest and after I do that I will be complete. Seeing as you stole part of my soul" Kagome then reached out and touched Kikyo. She opened her mouth to scream but it was a silent one. The dead souls that Kikyo had flew out of her body and then Kikyo fell to the ground. One soul still remained in her and she was not willing to give that up. Kagome floated down to the ground and landed near Kikyo. Kagome then walked up to her and said "We were nothing alike but there was one thing that you and I had in common" "And what was that" Kikyo spat. Kagome shook her head "The desire to be with Inu-yasha" and with that said Kagome touched Kikyo. The rest of Kagome's soul came back to her and Kikyo turned into ashes that flew away in the wind.

Inu-yasha ran over to Kagome and picked her up. He smiled down at her, removing some of the hairs from her face. "I'm proud of you, my Kagome" Kagome smiled up at him and fell asleep from exhaustion. Inu-yasha smiled and thought 'What Kagome said is true they are not alike in personality. They may look alike but they do have one thing in common. That I will not understand but I'm glad that I have Kagome' His smile got a little bigger as he walked down to Kaeda's hut.

Kagome and Sango went to the hot springs to bathe in. They took there clothes off and walked in. Kagome felt more relaxed then ever. She was glad the she felt complete again but even better she was glad that Kikyo was finally dead.

"So I heard that you met up with Kikyo" Sango said not sure of what to make out of it. "Ya but I still have one question" Kagome looked at her reflection in the water than up at Sango who looked curiously at her. "How did she survive? I mean Inu-yasha supposedly "Killed" her and we all saw him do it but then how did she survive?" Sango shrugged she didn't know but then again. "Kagome did you feel like you were complete when Kikyo died the first time?" "No" Kagome then realized. "Kikyo must have hung on to the part of my soul she stole from me" Sango nodded her head. Then they bathed in silence dwelling on weather or not they should worry on Kikyo returning.

They returned to the hut and sat down. Sango sat with Miroku and Kagome sat with Inu-yasha. "Kagome do you know how Kikyo survived my attack?" "Well me and Sango thought of a reason" Inu-yasha nodded and nuzzled her neck to continue. "Well when you killed her she hung on to the part of my soul she stole. That allowed her to keep living. She got her servants and they sent out for dead souls as soon as possible seeing as she could only hang onto my soul or a little while before it would return to me. But she got enough dead souls so she could live on" Inu-yasha sank the information in and then realized that he hadn't seen Kagome's soul return to her. Inu-yasha smacked his head in stupidity. "I should have realized that your soul did not return to you that day. I'm so stupid" Kagome kissed his forehead and said "No I'm the stupid one. I didn't feel complete and then I should have realized that Kikyo still had a part of my soul" Inu-yasha nodded in agreement. "Hey! Your not suppose to agree!" Kagome yelled.

Kagome got off his lap and sat beside him. She took out a whistle. "This is a dog whistle. I got it one time when I went back to my time" Inu-yasha looked at it and asked "Blow in it" he was eager to find out what would happen. Kagome smirked evilly and blew in it. No one could hear but Inu-yasha who was pleading her to stop. She reluctantly stopped and said "Hey I didn't want to know what it did" she smirked. Inu-yasha was in shock.

"Excuse me" said one of the villagers. They all looked at him as he said "We have a letter for a girl named Kagome" Kagome stood up and took the letter. The villager left as Kagome tore it open. She unfolded the letter, read it and dropped it in horror. Inu-yasha picked it up and read it out loud.

Dear Kagome,

I have recently discovered that our pack while we were both gone was destroyed and there are only 15 survivors from the attack. I did successfully retrieve your sword and will be giving it back to you ASAP. Please come by the pack when you are available. There is a note from Glory written to you and I thought you might want to read it when you come. One of the victims of the attack was your brother Alex we can do nothing at them moment and he is now in the surgery room. We hope that your brother will make it through. We need your help and guidance to keep the remaining people alright.

From,

Elder Manno

Inu-yasha looked at Kagome in horror then realized that there was more to the letter.

P.S. There is only you and I left of the Elders. I hope we can rest assure that you will be able to stay in our pack for good.

Sango and Miroku were not willing to believe what Inu-yasha had just read to them. Luckily Shippo was with Kaeda picking herbs.

Inu-yasha crawled over to Kagome and pulled her in his lap. He let her cry this out. Especially because her twin brother was the only one left besides her that was real family. Kagome looked up at him. "I need to (sniff) go back (sniff) to my pack" Kagome then started crying again. "We will all come with you" Miroku stated. Kagome lifted her head and thanked them all for being so understanding. "Hey what are friends for" Sango said making Kagome smile. "And mates" Inu-yasha whispered into her ear. His hot breathe against her skin made her shiver. "We might as well stay (sniff) here for the night (sniff)" Kagome said. They all nodded and laid down on the futons.

When everyone was asleep Kagome got up, put her shoes on and went out. She couldn't sleep tonight not with what had just happened. She let her feet guide her while her thoughts took over her mind.

She stopped walking and found herself in a clearing. The clearing had the old bone eaters well. She smiled at it 'If it weren't for that well I might not have met Inu-yasha' She walked up to it and sat down. She leaned her back up against the well and let her mind drift to thoughts. She then remembered what the letter said and cried herself to sleep.
