Chapter 7: Realizations
Inuyasha
Inuyasha stood there shocked behind a tree. He now knew how Kagome must have felt when she had seen them together. It was painful. He clutched his heart and fell softly to his knees as he watched the scene in front of him. Had Kikyo really been trying to kill him so that she could get to Kagome's heart?
"Kagome…no…" he whimpered softly under his breath, as tears started to well into his eyes. It was unlike him to cry, he didn't want to, but he couldn't hold it back. It was only now that he realized how much he had loved Kagome. Kagome had been kind to him, even when he was a stubborn stuck up asshole. He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up to see Miroku's comforting face. Comforting? Yes it was, even though there was something strange about him now, it was definitely Miroku. He surprised even himself as he turned around and threw himself into Miroku's arms and started crying softly.
He just sobbed as a surprised Miroku started to hold him tightly, trying to comfort him.
"Inuyasha, I'm sorry… I wish there was something I could do to help. I really do." Miroku whispered to him.
Inuyasha looked up at the monk and suddenly felt ashamed. He had brought all of this on himself. It was his fault. He should never have trusted Kikyo or …even Kagome. He shouldn't have let himself fall in love with someone so untouchable. He just continued to look up at Miroku's eyes and saw a sweet smile cross his face. Miroku really was so kind to him. Once again he felt ashamed. He had treated everyone so horribly and yet they were always there to be by his side when he needed help.
"Why…Miroku…why are you helping me? After all that I have said and done? Why are you showing me so much care?" he asked with tears still rolling down his cheeks.
He saw Miroku's smile get even more tender and caring as he asked this question and even heard a light chuckle.
"Because Inuyasha, I care very much about you. Even though you may not be the most agreeable demon in the world, you've got a softer side of you that I know is there. And now that I have seen it, I don't regret staying with you even one bit." He pulled Inuyasha into a strong hug and Inuyasha looked up at him. He felt like a child again; Full of questions and innocence. He hugged Miroku back and welcomed the warmth and comfort of his body.
"Miroku…Thank you"
Miroku
Miroku sighed as Inuyasha slowly began to fall asleep against him. He felt terrible. First he teamed up with their worst enemy, and now Kagome, the one that he knew Inuyasha cared deeply for, was abandoning her love for him for her past self. It seemed strange. He knew that things would be very bad for Inuyasha and he felt extremely guilty.
"Inuyasha, I'm really sorry about this." He whispered
He felt Inuyasha stir and look up to him. He looked like a little kid; His eyes so full of curiosity. He couldn't help himself; he leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on Inuyasha's lips. It was an innocent kiss, not meant to be sexual at all. He didn't understand why he did it. It was off of a whim he guessed. He looked down at Inuyasha's eyes as they widened.
"Miroku, you…you…kissed me." He said in shock, quietly.
To Miroku's surprise, he didn't pull away, he just continued to stare at him with shock and curiosity in his eyes. What was that boy thinking? Why didn't he push away? He sighed and smiled weakly.
"I'm sorry Inuyasha, I don't know why I did that. I have no right. Please forgive me." He managed to say before Inuyasha hugged him tightly."
"Miroku, I'm so sorry for everything I've done. I'm a stubborn, arrogant, asshole and I'm sorry. You don't have to be sorry Miroku. You're one of the only people that have ever shown any affections towards me without me just throwing it back in their faces. I don't want to do that anymore. I want to know what it's like to be really loved." He stated softly, clinging to Miroku's robes tightly as more tears welled into his eyes.
Miroku was shocked. What the fuck had gotten into that demon? Wasn't he supposed to be arrogant and rude? Why was he acting like a hurt little boy all of the sudden? He was completely bewildered.
"Inuyasha, why are you acting so strange?" he asked. As soon as the boy looked up at him, he understood. Inuyasha was absolutely heart broken. As soon as he had found someone that he loved, she was ripped away from him. He was confused and lost. Miroku could honestly say that he didn't know what it felt like to have a broken heart. But the sadness and desperation that Inuyasha was feeling, were welling up inside himself as well.
"Miroku, please help me! I don't know what to do. I'm so confused." He cried. Miroku looked at him and smiled sadly. He could see how desperate he was. He leaned down and kissed him again, this time feeling Inuyasha return the favor back to him. He thought silently to himself, ' I'm sorry Naraku-sama. I have to do this one last thing for him.'
Naraku
Naraku watched in Kanna's mirror at the happening's with Miroku, Inuyasha, Kikyo, and Kagome. He himself couldn't help but feel a little jealous of what Miroku was about to do. He thought about interfering, but something in his heart told him that he should let things be as they are. He just sighed and turned his attention to the two mikos.
Now this was something that he would NEVER have expected. Kikyo in love with Kagome.
"This should prove interesting" he commented as he watched the two girls carefully. "Very interesting indeed."
Kagome
Kagome looked at the beautiful priestess embracing her. 'She loves me…' she thought silently to herself. She looked up at Kikyo. Kikyo had always seemed like someone who could feel nothing but anger and hatred. But she was seeing that Kikyo could feel things much like a normal being. Kagome felt her heart beating fast in her chest. She was nervous and feeling slightly giddy as well. She decided that she needed to answer Kikyo the best he could.
"Kikyo, I….I don't know if I love you…I may, but I don't believe I've ever been in love before. It may take some time before I am able to tell of my true feelings. But I will try. I know what it's like to care for someone. And not have them show any of your affection back. So I will try, for you." She said honestly.
She saw Kikyo smile. She was so beautiful. Almost like a goddess. She glowed slightly which made her look even more like a goddess, or an angel. She felt a soft hand on her cheek then sighed as it slid down to her chin. Kikyo lifted her chin up so that Kagome was looking directly into her eyes. She watched as Kikyo leaned down for another kiss. She closed her eyes and when Kikyo's lips touched hers she responded without question.
Kikyo
She would try. That was all that she wanted to hear. She knew perfectly well that Kagome wouldn't love her the moment she admitted her own love. It was too fast for love to grow. She kissed Kagome tenderly, not wanting it to end. But she knew that Inuyasha was there. She knew that he had heard, and actually felt sad. She had indeed cared for him and didn't want to hurt him like this. But she had, had the chance to tell Kagome, and she couldn't wait any longer to tell her. She pulled away slowly and looked down and the beautiful young girl.
"Kagome, Inuyasha….he is in the forest near us. We should find him. I believe that he hear our conversation." She said painfully. She could see the sudden guilt show through Kagome's gaze.
"Inu…yasha…oh no" She whispered sadly.
Kikyo listened carefully and could hear Inuyasha. She strained her ears to hear what he was saying. She knew he was with Miroku, and…they…hold on. She looked at Kagome quickly and motioned for her to gather her supplies.
"Kagome, don't leave anything here that you are not afraid of losing. Someone may steal it. Hurry." She stated as calmly as possible. "I'll be right back."
Kikyo quickly made her way to where she heard Inuyasha and the monk. She concealed herself with her soul skimmers and looked into the forest. She saw Inuyasha and Miroku…kissing? She was shocked. But then she thought about it. 'He must be so upset about what he heard that he is using the monk to comfort himself' she said to herself sadly. She did not want Kagome to see what she had just seen. She had to distract her somehow…
Kikyo turned back and releasing the Soul skimmer's spell, she reappeared and made her way to Kagome. She knew how she could distract Kagome. She just prayed that it wouldn't frighten her. Kagome looked up at her and just blinked while putting the bag on her back. Kikyo placed her hands on Kagome's shoulders and once again placed her lips on Kagome's. She was happy to feel her responding without hesitation and dared to take things a little further. She took the straps of the bag and slid it off of Kagome's back. She would not be needing the bag. The bag slid to the ground with a soft thud and Kagome closed her eyes tightly. Kikyo let her tongue wander the girl's bottom lip slowly, hoping that Kagome would grant her entrance. To her delight, Kagome opened her lips slowly. She knew that Kagome had never done such a thing before and was probably scared, or at least nervous. She slid one hand down to Kagome's waist and left her other on her shoulder, massaging it gently, hoping to relax her a bit.
She deepened the kiss more and was very pleased that Kagome let out a small whimper into her mouth. She shivered in response and deepened it even more. Kagome's her on her arms and she could feel Kagome loosening up a bit. She nipped slightly at her upper lip and heard her gasp. She knew that Kagome was enjoying this and she began to get a bit excited. She broke the kiss and looked at the panting girl who had slightly glazed eyes. Kikyo smiled and picked her up, much to Kagome's surprise.
Kikyo walked over to Kagome's sleeping bag and gently laid her down on the bag.
"Ki…Kikyo…?" questioned the nervous girl.
Kikyo just smiled and lowered down so that she was on top of Kagome, but not laying on her; Just holding herself over her.
"Kagome, you don't have to worry. I won't do anything that you don't want me to do." She said with a kind smile, in an attempt to comfort the trembling teen. "I Promise you that…"
