Chapter 6: Confessions
Miroku
Miroku felt bad for what he was doing. He knew that he was tricking his friends. But he needed to gather the jewel shards and he knew that he would lose if he opposed them. He would have to go along with them if they were to trust him. He sighed as Inuyasha and himself walked towards where Kagome resided. He could sense Inuyasha glaring at him the entire way.
"Inuyasha, why are you glaring at me" He asked, sounding hurt.
He could hear Inuyasha growl slightly under his breathe.
"There is something different about you Houshi. You have a strange scent to you; One that is unlike your normal one. I don't trust it at all. Which means, that I won't trust you until I figure out what it is." He answered gruffly, obviously suppressing growls.
Miroku just sighed and nodded, knowing that Inuyasha could clearly see him. It was sad really, that he really wasn't trustworthy after all. But he somehow felt obligated to help Naraku-sama. He had begun to enjoy his lover's company and felt that he really was beginning to love him. Or at least care deeply for him.
Miroku looked up and saw something familiar and began to panic. Kikyo? What was she doing there? He knew that Inuyasha saw it too because the dog-demon rushed to see what was happening. What they saw utterly confused the both of them. And he could almost hear Inuyasha's heart breaking.
Kikyo
Kikyo released her embrace and looked at the frightened girl in front of her. She knew that Kagome did not trust her, nor did she have any reason to. She knew how much her reincarnation cared for the dog-boy. But she also knew, that being herself, in a future form, that she would share the same affections as her.
"Kagome, I came here to tell you that It's not Inuyasha that I am after, but you." She admitted, suddenly feeling ashamed.
She watched as Kagome's eyes widened.
"You…you what? But, then. Why? Why were you always trying to bring Inuyasha to hell with you Kikyo?" she asked trembling slightly from both coldness and she guessed, fear.
She sighed and looked into her eyes, trying to calm her and make her believe what she was saying.
"Lady Kagome, I was trying to send him to hell, not myself. Once he was there, he would be out of the way. Then you would be able to be happy with me, without thinking that you love that boy. You do not love him as you think you do, but as a mother would. I know; I am you. We share the same feelings towards him, and soon, towards each other." As soon as she finished speaking, Kikyo leaned forward and kissed Kagome softly on the lips. She didn't push her. She didn't want to scare her away.
She looked down at Kagome, who was wide-eyed and pulled her into another hug. This time smiling as the embrace was returned.
Kagome
Kagome leaned into Kikyo's chest. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. But when she thought about it, she realized that the part about Inuyasha was true. At some points in time she had thought she loved him, but then soon realized that she indeed had thought of him as her own child. Even if they fought constantly and they were quite violent with each other, she cared deeply for him and of his well-being. She let a few tears slide down her cheek before letting her sobbing start.
"Kikyo…I…I had no idea…that…that you felt this way. Why …didn't you tell me before? I would have understood." She asked between sobs. She didn't understand why Kikyo had not told her before. She was confused and buried her face into the loving priestess. She didn't need to hear the answer, but she wanted to confirm her own feelings towards Kikyo. She had to see if what she has said were true about her affections.
Kikyo
Kikyo pet Kagome's hair gently and frowned. She had been afraid of Inuyasha finding out and trying to hurt Kagome or herself. But, she too cared for Inuyasha as a mother, and had not wanted him to think that no one had loved him. She wanted him to believe that Kagome or maybe even herself, had once loved him.
"Kagome…I…"She was cut off as Kagome tentatively raised her head up and placed a kiss on her lips. She was non-the-less shocked, but did nothing to stop her. She returned the kiss and closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling of the girl's lips against her own. She felt warm, unlike how she usually felt. She had not felt a sensation like this for a long time and yearned to feel the warmth of life again.
She reluctantly pulled away from Kagome's kiss and looked down at the girl. She could see the wonder in the girl's eyes and pulled her in close to her, feeling the warmth of her body pressed against hers.
"Kagome, I love you." She whispered. "Please love me in return."
