Hello, based on a certain 'agreement' I have with someone, here is my
update. Now just update yours!!!!!!!
And if anyone wants to know, I'm not mad at the guy. I'm not mad, unless u mean psycho. I just feel the need to blab about my personal life so people will feel sorry for me. The doctors have explained it all to me. Don't worry about me. Tears just live on with your life...forget about me!
Don't ask. I'm psycho and it is summer. So while everyone else has moved during the summer or while they are at camp or some other productive summer activity, I'm stuck here. And all of you get the wonderful chance to talk to me!
Doesn't that just make you feel special?
Well, hopefully this chapter is long. If it isn't, oh well. That's bad for you, but I, potentially, don't give a damn.
As much as I love my readers, all, say, 20 of you. If you don't like the story, well damn, I'm just gonna have to deal.
I'm sorry, but as they say, "shit happens" and I am not going to spend my life buried in it. So I'll deal with flames and non-reviewers as they come. Besides, shit stinks and I'd rather not smell it for the rest of my life.
I'll just go to my happy place now and let you enjoy the story.

: Scene change
!!!!!!! : Beginning/Ending of dream
I have to say, I was surprised. It was the shortest kiss ever to be had, but it was also my first. There was nothing more...I don't know...sensual, than the feel of his lips against mine. I had seen those lips, and they were signs of absolute perfection. Demon or not, perfection was written all over them. Then I felt those signs of perfection were upon my own lips. I was having feelings that I should not have been feeling.
Then, just as soon as his lips had appeared, they had disappeared. I looked around and saw a fight had erupted amongst Hojo and Inuyasha.
"STOP!" I screamed as Inuyasha put his, er, claws into a fighting stance. "We agreed for peace here, at least! You mustn't ruin that!"
"Yes, milady." I smiled at Hojo. He cared for me so much. Ever since my betrothed had died, he had taken that duty. Well, he assumed he did. And I honestly didn't care.
"Yes, Priestess." Inuyasha said. He bent over and kissed my hand. His eyes never left mine, and never failed to give away his every emotion. He held respect for me and...some other emotion I have failed to recognize. That was another difference between Mikos and Demons; they revealed their emotions while we hid ours.
"Goodnight, Lord."
"Normal P.O.V."
"After the Dedication Ceremony you shall choose your High Priest and the handfasting ceremony will begin." Kagome sat in front of her mother, getting ready to attend a meeting with the war captains. Her mother was going over becoming High Priestess with her, again.
"Yes, mother."
Knock Knock Knock
"The captains are here, maladies."
"Yes, thank you, Kali let them in." High Priestess Diana said.
The red-haired witch left the room. Moments later, 3 male witches arrived. One was Hojo, the Captain of Defense. His armor was shining as he stepped in, his hair was combed back out of his eyes and he looked good enough to be Kagome's High Priest.
Of course, that's what everyone expected.
One of the other Captains was Thor. Thor had red hair and a scruffy beard. His name was inherited from Thor, the Norse God of Sky and Thunder. His eyes were surrounded by wrinkles, signs of old age beginning already in his early age of thirty. He was the "Secret Tactics" Captain.
Then there was young Ares. Yes, he was named after the War God. His parents had good instincts too, he was the youngest and best Captain of Offense the Mikos had ever seen. At the mere age of 13, Ares was mastering martial arts and already on his way to becoming a soldier. Here was 3 years later, a captain. His blonde hair was in his face, but you could still see a set jaw and determined eyes.
"Priestess, the Demon's have not attacked. Not since you left to see Kaede. We should attack while we still can." Ares said, eyes unwavering.
"I approve." Kagome's mother said.
"No, don't!" Kagome said quickly.
"Kagome! You are not to speak like that again!" Diana said. The truth was, the High Priestess wasn't allowed to have decisions like that. Decisions that have to do with her country. All High Priestess were for was something to worship. Kagome thought it was injustice.
"Mother, maybe they want a truce, maybe they want to stop this war, did you ever think of that?" Kagome asked desperately.
"That's not possible, they'd have no reason to." Diana replied.
"Then maybe it's a trap. They could be waiting for us, and the moment we attack, everyone dies. We shouldn't rush into this."
"Milady, she might be right." Ares agreed.
"Fine." Her mother gave in. There was no finality in her voice, as usual. The emotionless faces of the Mikos were getting to Kagome. She much preferred Inuyasha's life of truth.
"Good, that is settled. We shall see you in the evening Maladies." Hojo said.
"Until evening." Thor said as he and the other captains bowed.
It was night and Kagome was so exhausted. After the Captains left, her mother went through every last bit of information about becoming High Priestess. By the time Kagome was able to leave, it was already evening. After sitting for an hour eating and listening to mindless talk with no passion behind it.
Oh yes, Kagome was ready for sleep.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...Robert was there. Kagome was laughing at him and his jokes. No one could make her laugh like him. He was her betrothed...
...He was tickling her. No one had ever tickled her. It was showing emotion...
...A demon was attacking. Kagome was there, unarmed, afraid. Then, out of nowhere, Robert showed up and used his best to protect Kagome against the Caterpillar-type-demon. Kagome watched in horror as it took one of its arms and slashed his neck. Kagome was frozen, 'He's dead', before she new it, a blue light surrounded her and the demon was dead...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now she was awake. Her eyes weren't open but she knew. Those memories again! Why must she relive them every night?
Someone was in her room. She could feel him. She was coming closer, whoever he was. Then, when he was sitting beside her bed, she knew.
"What are you doing here?" Kagome asked, never opening her eyes.
"I came here to talk."
"We can't talk here." He bent over in front of her and his hair fell in her face. She breathed in his scent before he pulled it away.
"I know that's why I came to ask you something." His voice said.
"How did you get in here anyways, Inuyasha?" Kagome suddenly asked.
"I know people. We need to talk." Why is he so urgent? What "people"? That must mean that there is a traitor among her people. Could it have been...? No, no, it couldn't have been that girl that recently tried out for becoming a soldier. Rin couldn't have...could she?
"I know. You keep saying that. What do we need to discuss?"
"Marriage." He stated with a look of total devastation on his face. Kagome instantly sat up.
"What?"
"I know. We are not marrying for love and our races would surely shun us at first, but...then they might accept it. We have to take this chance. I already said I would do anything to stop the war, now I am proving it." To Kagome he sounded so desperate, so ready to plunge a stake through his heart for his people. Demons must really marry for love.
"Ok."
"You will?"
"We must do this for our people."
"Ok. You should come within a matter of five days to my land. I will become Lord at that time. Unless I am mistaken you are becoming High Priestess 1 week after that?" Kagome nodded.
"Then come to the Demon Lands 4 nights after this. You will become Lady and we will have at least a day to prove our love. Two days after you leave I will arrive back here just in time to become High Priest. How does that sound?"
"It sounds perfect, but you need to know that I won't be in this room when you arrive. I will be in the High Priestess Quarters. It's on the second floor. There are many more charms on that floor than on this one." Kagome warned him.
"I think I can manage." He smirked.
"How?"
"I said I know someone."
"Like who?"
"I won't tell you."
"Fine. Goodnight." Kagome yawned and laid back down. Her eyes started to close slowly. She was so tired.
"Wait. Here." Inuyasha took off his beaded necklace. "This way the guards will know you're there for me and they can't hurt you."
"Okay. Goodnight now." Kagome closed her eyes and drifted off into dreamland.
Before he left, Inuyasha smoothed back her bangs and kissed her forehead. "Goodnight, my Lady."
He never noticed that she dropped the necklace.
"Kagome's P.O.V."
Wow. What a dream. It was the most vivid dream I have ever had, and trust me, that is saying something. When you have to meditate almost everyday, and astral project your body places, suddenly, dreams stop being vivid.
I know what you're thinking. Why not astral project to the Demon Lands and just kill them off? They put up a barrier.
Anyways, I could have sworn Inuyasha was here. I still see his face in my mind, and I can even smell him. But if the dream was real, then the necklace would be here, and it isn't.
Too bad. It was a nice thought to finish the war.
"Normal P.O.V."
.... Four days later...
"So, have you picked a High Priest?" Diana asked.
"No mother." Another talk about the ceremony. How many more talks was Kagome going to have to listen to?
"You have two more days. Pick Fast." Her mother warned her.
"Yes mother." Kagome said in the same voice she always uses (unless she's caught up in the moment), emotionless.
"You are dismissed."
"Yes mother." Kagome left and went to her room. She laid down on her pink cotton bed and grabbed the brooch Sango gave her. It was gold and had cherry blossoms decorating it. The designs immediately reminded her of Inuyasha's mother's Kimono. 'Wonder why Sango gave me this?'
While Kagome was thinking about the circumstances she accidentally dropped the brooch. She reached over by the side of the bed and picked it up. But... it wasn't the brooch. It was...Inuyasha's beaded necklace!
Shit! That must mean that he is still waiting for me! The dream was real!
Using her Miko powers, Kagome rushed towards the Demon Lands as fast as she could. If she didn't get there fast Inuyasha would surely be angry. And if he was angry, the war would last forever.
Finally she arrived at the gates. Two guards stood, one was that demoness that looked like her, the other was unrecognizable.
But before Kagome could even get a good look at her, much less show them the necklace, they pounced on her.
The female guard quickly took her nail and scratched Kagome, drawing blood. Kagome grabbed her nail and twisted it off causing the female guard (let's call her Guard A) to screech in pain.
Guard B grabbed her legs, her only other defense while Guard A took hold of her arms. Kagome tried to move but she was stuck. Guard A held her arms in one hand and gagged her, she then tied up her arms. When she was done she helped Guard B tie her legs together. As they proceeded in picking he up they heard a growl.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Ok, so what to explain:
Handfasting: a Wiccan or Pagan marriage ceremony.
Kali: Hindu: Creative/Destructive Goddess
Thor: Norse God of Sky and Thunder
Ares: Greek God of War
I'm not sure, but I think that's it. I don't think there will be a lemon in this story, maybe half of one. I think one of the big reasons this story is rated R is because of it's fowl mouthed little writer. :)
If anyone has read Hawksong, could you help me?
I don't know how to include Shippo in this.
And if anyone wants to know, I'm not mad at the guy. I'm not mad, unless u mean psycho. I just feel the need to blab about my personal life so people will feel sorry for me. The doctors have explained it all to me. Don't worry about me. Tears just live on with your life...forget about me!

I'm sorry, but as they say, "shit happens" and I am not going to spend my life buried in it. So I'll deal with flames and non-reviewers as they come. Besides, shit stinks and I'd rather not smell it for the rest of my life.
