Chapter 10: A new beginning
Kagome.. Kagome wake up..
Kagome: huh? Ginta is that you... was it all just a dream...
"No it wasn't a dream.. This is a dream.. Look down". Kagome looked down and saw the mountains where she had once been taken, where the wolf tribe used to live..
"Ginta" Kagome cried as she hugged him tightly, "Ginta why?"
Ginta smiled warmly and hugged her.. "Why what Kagome?"
"Why did you jump in front of InuYasha?" Kagome asked, tears gliding down her cheeks..
"Kagome are you asking me why didn't I let InuYasha die back there?" Ginta said acting surprised. "Kind of..." Kagome said, sounding ashamed. "I'm sorry..."
The scenery changed and it was dark..
Two lights appeared and Kagome saw InuYasha in one of them.. Ginta in the other, she heard a voice.. The voice said to go to the one you love..
Kagome was frightened.. Kagome was confused because she was afraid of making the wrong decision.. The voice then told her that she should not be afraid and that she should go to the one she loves again...
Kagome walked towards Ginta.. As she reached him, he faded away and the scenery changed yet again.. Flames all around Kagome threatened her.. She couldn't wake up from the horrible dream. Ginta stood there in front of her, a look of hatred upon his face.
"You.. you killed me.. You can't stand that fact that InuYasha is alive, you made my death pointless."
"no.. no you're wrong.. I won't listen.." Kagome said, she was about to cry but she didn't.
Ginta came towards her, he looked ready to kill... "Maybe.. maybe Kagome I should beat you till you cry out.. Or maybe I should kill you and leave you for the demons.. Leave the child to be taken and used by Naraku. Or mayb-
"Shut up!!!!" Kagome screamed as she burst into tears, "Shut up.. You're not Ginta.."
"Kagome" A voice said, "Kagome wake up wake up!!" The voice kept saying, she felt herself being shaken and then held. "oh my god.. InuYasha where are you...." Kagome in her sleep,
"I'm right here Hun." InuYasha said as he waited for her to come out of her sleep.
Kagome didn't wake up but she was comforted, her sleep became peaceful there were no more dreams.
Narrator: The next day.. InuYasha was sitting by the well talking with Miroku about what had happened, what he had missed, how Kaede had passed on last night.. Telling Miroku to go to them and warn them of Ginta's demise before it was too late. Koga and Hakaku had disappeared Koga had left Ginta's body with the few scattered members of the wolf pack in the village to let Hakaku know to come. Tia couldn't go and Kyoto didn't know what was happening because he was told he could come but his mother said if she couldn't go then he couldn't. Ginta's shop was closed down because no one could run it at the moment. Sesshomaru was engaged to a girl named Sakaura Minamoto a descendant of the great warlord Yoritomo Minamoto, Rin and Jeanne (kag's mom) were in charge of the wedding.
Sakaura's younger sister, Sarah met Rin only a few days before the announcement and dear god...
They were best friends from the start it was like they were sisters.. The wedding would fit in to where Kagome's would have been.. Speaking of Kagome... Kagome had not left her room at all, she didn't leave her room for a week and she wouldn't open the door to let anyone in.. InuYasha brought her food and sometimes she took it but other times she would call through the door telling him she wasn't hungry. InuYasha had gotten in the room using a pick Ginta had recently bought so Koga wouldn't get locked out of his house anymore.. So the next day he brought her food.. Kagome told him to please go away but he didn't instead he came in the room using the pick, put the food down on the dresser and turned his back to her and headed towards the door. When he was in the door frame he turned his head to where she could see half of his face.
InuYasha: Kagome... I know your suffering, I feel your pain and I can tell you something.. I know the pain your going through.. I've felt it twice.. Once for the death of a lover and another for being walked out on..... You had a dream last night... In the dream was Ginta and you and Ginta threatened you..
I know this because you screamed as I was at the well. No one heard you but me because everyone but me passed out after sitting or laying down. Listen Kagome.. I know you probably still hate me for what you think I did and Sarieu told me what you thought I did.. well Hun I can tell you this, I never cheated on you and I never have thought about any other girl but you.. If you need someone to talk to call me and I'll be there for you..
Kagome:.. InuYasha.... Thank you....
InuYasha left the room and went to Hikaru's room.. He knew Hikaru found out about Ginta and for Hikaru to lose someone who was like a father to him.. InuYasha knew it would be best to get his mind off of it.
Knock knock knock
InuYasha: Hikaru, Hikaru can I come in?
Hikaru's voice: Okay.. Sure daddy..
InuYasha had never been in Hikaru's room before, he looked around...
In the corner was InuYasha's old clothes on a mannequin and a smaller mannequin had an identical suit except for the coloring it was dark blue. His room was painted light blue and there were things that InuYasha had never received from Kagome when she divorced him.
He looked at his son and studied him, he never noticed how much a perfect blend Hikaru was of them.
Hikaru had yellowish blue eyes, his mother's hair color with streaks of silver and Hikaru's ears were silvery blue like his own. Hikaru was seven years old.. Seven years and yet he looked so much more mature.
InuYasha: Wow Hikaru.. I take it your mom told you about our travels and gave you my stuff?
Hikaru: Yep. I even made a suit like your old one and I fixed it up in case you ever need it again..
InuYasha: thank you. Speaking of needing it how about you and me explore the past? If we do we're gonna need those though..
Hikaru: I've never been through the well.. hmm.. Okay.. yeah sure Let's get changed and go.
Meanwhile at Sango's...
Sango: Miroku it's been so long.... tears run down her face and she hugs him tightly I love you..
Miroku: Sango... Don't cry.. I love you too hugs her and trys not to cry
Sango: Kohaku told me what he saw... Oh thank god you're here.. I'm so glad you're with me again.
Miroku: I'm sorry that I almost.. almost killed you Sango.. Thank goodness your brother saw the knife.
Sango: It no longer matters Miroku.
Kohaku's voice: C'mon or we're gonna be late to the past.
Sango: That's the strangest thing anyone could ever hear..
Miroku: Well the wolf pack said we couldn't go to Ginta's gathering but at least we can go to his scattering...
Sango: Yeah you're right.. Alright Kohaku just let us change back into our old clothes so we'll be remembered
a giggle comes from the other room
Kohaku's voice: You know even though Sesshomaru changed his appearance, he never gave up that fluffy thing of his.
Miroku: Oh god.. I can so see him wearing t-shirt and jeans and hauling around that thing.. snicker snicker
Sango: Oh well.. I guess this will be the new normal.. grin With you here now it won't be so bad.
Miroku: O.O The way that you said that frightens me...
