/*\Chapter 2/*\
Back in the hut where Kagome is resting in, Inuyasha was too worried about
his Kagome to smell the evil presence, he also was worried that Kagome
might reject him after all, I mean, according to him, who would want a
dirty hanyou?
Not even Kikyo, his first love, had accepted him the way that he was, she
had wanted him human, had denied him his dream so that she could live out
her idea of the perfect life the way she had wanted to. He had wanted to be
full demon. No the important thing was the here and now, with the woman he
loved. Kagome.
He turned his attention back to her, who was looking at him through eyes
shining with tears. He quickly raced through his mind, he was pretty sure
that he had done nothing to make her upset.
Inuyasha looked at, eyes shining with concern. Concern for her. Kagome
could have cried, she was so happy. She again launched herself at Inuyasha
who was too distracted to stop her. He froze, not knowing how to respond.
Then his heart took over for him and he embraced her, each face mirroring
the other, each face both radiating absolute and true love. That is, untill
Kagome winced in pain from her wound. Inuyasha, sensed her pain and
immediately pushed her back. She looked up at him, hurt and confusion
written all over her face. He couldn't stand to see that look on her face,
every fibre of his being wanted to make it alright, to make her happy and
cheerful again so he quickly told her his reasoning.
"Your still hurt pretty bad, you should just lie here. I'll lay here with
you, if you want me too, that is. I can understand if you don't."
Inuyasha's ears drooped, his head cast down, expecting rejection.
Kagome shook her head,"Of course I'd want you to! Ai shiteru! I love you
Inuyasha! Please, it would make me feel better if you stayed." She pleaded
shyly.
And so he did.
As he held her from behind, a gash that had went unnoticed in the frenzy to
help Kagome began to drip blood on his arm. He still didn't notice it. His
wound was postioned directly over her injury. It dripped blood, and seeing
as the blood had to fall someowhere, gravity dictated that it fall directly
below it. Into Kagome's wound. As one droplet fell she let out a gasp of
pain. Inuyasha looked at her worridly, afraid she was hurt again, "What's
wrong?" he asked.
When he moved, even more of his blood fell into her wound. There was quite
a lot of Inuyasha's blood in her now and to Kagome it felt like liquid fire
was running through her veins. Her eyes went wide with pain and she let out
an unearthly scream. Inuyasha by now had figured out that his blood was
going into hers and had switched arms in order to cradle her with the other
arm. Her scream had brought in Kaede and a dishevealed Sango and Miroku.
Shippou, being asleep in her legs to begin with, was already awake and
trying to comfort his pain-ridden mommy. All looked at her with worried
eyes and Kaede turned to Inuyasha for an explanation. His voice was was
quiet from greif, concern and guilt for his beloved.
Some of my blood must have dripped into her wound. I'm sorry. It's my
fault, I should have been more careful." Inuyasha said dejectedly.By now
his ears were limp, they drooped so bad. He hung his head to hide the tears
in his eyes.
Keade then shooed out the older males out of the hut, Shippou they couldn't
budge and since he was too young to be perverted, he was allowed to stay.
As the women tended to Kagome, Miroku tried to comfort Inuyasha outside. It
wasn't going well. Inuyasha could still hear that inhumane scream from pain
that issued from his Kagome's lips. His spirit dropped even lower. Miroku
noticed this and wisely kept silent, thinking of his friend in there, and
his new wife. He allowed a perverted grin to cross his face. Inuyasha
noticed this and was angry, angry that Miroku could even think of smiling
at a time like this.
"I don't understand you! How could you smile with all this going on?!
Honestly I don't believe you sometimes!" Inuyasha fumed at his friend.
Miroku had to explain.
"Well, um. You see Inuyasha...."Miroku trailed off, unable to go on.
Inuyasha sniffed the air around Miroku.
"You two had better be married." He stated flatly.
"Uhhh. Inuyasha whatever do you mean?" Miroku asked nervously.
"Miroku don't play games. You reek of sweat and Sango."
"Alright then I might as well tell you. Sango and I are married." Miroku
stated proudly.
Inuyasha just burst out laughing.
"What's so funny? I think its wonderful!"Miroku said annoyed.
"No, No. It's not that *laugh* It's just *laugh* that it's about time
*hysterics* I mean, you and her have been so obviously in love *more
hysterics* That Kagome and I wondered when you guys would ever get
together!" *calms down*
"Well for you information, that's what all of us have been thinking about
you and Kagome! All except Kouga I mean. He's still convinced that Kagome
is his." Miroku stated hotly.
Inuyasha calmed down at that.
And this of course led to an intense argument brought to a halt only by the
arrival of Inuyasha's brother.
Inuyasha's mood immediately went from joking to fighting mode. He laid his
ears back and began to growl in the direction his brother was coming from.
As Sesshoumaru stepped out from underneath the trees, Inuyasha attacked.
"Inuyasha, please. As much as I would enjoy killing you, at this time I am
here for a different matter. I am offering my services to your little
alliance for revenge against Naraku." Sesshoumaru said regally.
Inuyasha growled and kept his eyes on his brother. Without turning his head
he commanded Miroku to ask Kagome if this would be okay.
As the two siblings waited for a response Inuyasha decided he wanted to
know why Sesshoumaru wanted to help him all of a sudden.
"Why do you now decide to help us? Why not earlier?" Inuyasha questioned
suspiciously.
"If you must know, you lousy half-breed, Naraku has taken the child under
my care. I will not stand for this disrespect to continue, so I'm taking
action."answered Sesshoumaru.
Inuyasha thought this a good enough reason but decided to keep his mouth
shut.
Miroku came out sporting a very fashionable red handprint across his face,
and a striking bump on the head.
Inuyasha looked at him impatiently."Well?" he asked shortly.
Miroku looked startled for a second and then answered, "Lady Kagome was in
too much pain to answer but apparently Sango understood her and said it was
alright as long as you two didn't fight and I put this on you." Miroku said
slipping something over Sesshoumaru's neck. "Now Lady Kagome!" He shouted.
Over the screams of pain in the hut, one word could be distinctly heard.
"BEG, SESSHOUMARU!!!" Kagome shouted in an agonized voice.
The rosary beads that Miroku had slipped over his neck ealier began to glow
and Sesshoumaru promptly met Inuyasha's close firend, Dirt.
Inuyasha was soon on the ground laughing.
Sesshoumaru was outraged. "You dirty ningen! If you don't take this off
this instant I'll-" Sesshoumaru was cut off by a 'beg' from Kagome.
He decided to leave it alone for now.
He looked over at his brother curiously," You have chosen a mate, little
brother?" He questioned.
Inuyasha choked. "Wh-wh-WHAT?!" he sputtered out.
Sesshoumaru stated simply,"You have mixed blood with the wench. That is how
our family mates. You mean you truly did not know this?"
Inuyasha just mutely shook his head, eyes as wide as saucers.
Sesshoumaru looked grim."Then the wench will die. Her human blood won't
accept the demon blood, unless you both agree to be mates, we mate for life
by the way, she will die."
Inuyasha grew pale at the thought of Kagome dieing just when they had
discovered their love for one another. He wasn't sure she'd want to be
burdened with that.
He looked at his brother, who was looking rather serious."Are you joking?"
He managed out.
Sesshoumaru shook his head. "You have about three days to complete the
ritual. I know you know the ritual because once you start, instinct takes
over and you will know what to do. Talk it over with your wench, she what
she wants. If she dies, I might consider using my Tensaiga on her. But I
highly doubt it"
Inuyasha just wordlessly walked into the hut. Sango and Kaede had given
Kagome pain dullers so she could at least talk. The other women left the
hut, leaving the couple alone.
"Ka-Kagome" Inuyasha choked out. He couldn't stand seeing her like this,
her eyes were bright, but not glittering with life, they were hard and
sharp with pain. Her face was pale and didn't contain it's usually rosy
tint. And her beautiful hair was dull and limp. He bit back a cry.
Kagome just looked at him and something in her eyes looked like they used
to again. "Inuyasha, what is it?" She asked weakly.
"Kagome would you even consider being my mate?"
"Oh, Inuyasha, of course I would. I wouldn't be happier than with you!" she
managed out thinly.
"You do know that would involve bearing my pups right?"
"Yes, I would imagine that."
Inuyasha thought it was too good to be true. Here she was, the woman he
loved, on death's door, and she still wanted to be his mate. He couldn't be
happier.
"Kagome, are you sure?"
"Yes ,Inuyasha, I am."
"We would have to do it now or you would die from my blood"Inuyasha managed
out.
"I don't mind" Kagome answered.
"Alright, if you say so."Inuyasha answered her doubtfully.
He kissed her forehead and whispered that he'd be right back as he exited
the hut to see his brother.
"Sesshoumaru!"Inuyasha bellowed.
Inuyasha turned as he heard his brother gracefully land behind him.
"Yes, hanyou?"Sesshoumaru answered shortly.
"Do you know where the old family ritual mating scrolls are? Kagome and I
need them if she wants to live." Inuyasha asked.
With a curt nod Sesshoumaru sped off to his castle and retrieved the
scrolls.
Inuyasha waited imaptiently for his brother's return. About a half an hour
later his brother returned with the scrolls tucked under one arm.
Inuyasha hurridly grabbed the scrolls and read through them. He then nodded
to his brother and walked back inside the hut.
He then walked over to Kagome and took her hand in his as he read the
scrolls for her. She nodded to herself and looked at her soon-to-be mate.
She said weakly "The first part's done."
He nodded, his heart bursting at what he had put her through.
He asked her one last time. "Kagome are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes Inuyasha, very sure." she answered.
And so they set about performing the ritual.....
Well I am going to try to do a little more work for the mating ritual part
but how do you like it so far? I really appreciate reviews and they help me
write faster *hint hint*nudge nudge*wink wink* If you don't like something
