Inuyasha's Tale
Disclaimer: NO I still don't own Inuyasha, but I own my ideas and my Nyko!
Kagome stared at Inuyasha who was still mumbling for a second before totally overreacting.
"What? I thought you loved me! I'm carrying your baby for heaven's sake! And you don't even love me! I can't believe you! Bastard!"
Inuyasha looked up startled at his mate's screaming and crying. She collapsed, sobbing her eyes out. Baffled he just looked at her before it dawned on him what was wrong here.
"Kagome, she is like my mother. She took care of me when I was very small. After my mother died and I was all alone, she took helped me stay alive. If it wasn't for her I would be dead and I would have never met you. Of course I love you and our baby too!" He held her to his heart and crooned soothingly to her. She gradually relaxed but still looked curious.
Inuyasha looked into her loving but still skeptical eyes and inwardly sighed. He could tell she wanted a nice long story with a happy ending. It may have a happy ending but it wasn't very long.
"I met her a very long time ago, I was probably 3 or 4 years old. She would play with me and baby-sit me when my mother had to go out and leave me. She and my mother talked like old friends so I was always very nice to her. If my mother liked her, I liked her. The only things that was a little odd about her was that she never aged and sometimes, even though she was a full yokai, she turned human for about a week. She would have black hair streaked silver."
At this Kagome sat up straighter and looked very puzzled, but Inuyasha was on a roll with his story and took absolutely no notice whatsoever.
"She always looked about 13 or 14. One time, I remember asking her why that was and her face got all sad. She looked at me and sighed, as if it was my fault.
All she said was that she had been young and naïve when it had happened. She had been betrayed by someone she thought was her friend and she was stuck as a teenager forever more. She promised she would never let anything like that happen to me and then she quickly changed the subject."
Inuyasha paused. He was never a story teller and it amazed him how the words were just rolling off of his tongue. Kagome sat in his lap, enraptured, just like a little puppy. He smiled and thought how a couple of months ago he never would have thought it was possible to open up to anyone like this.
Inuyasha continued.
"After my mother died, I remember her taking me far away, then falling down and crying "Izayoi, oh I am so sorry!" Over and over again. It wasn't until then that I really comprehended that my mother was dead. I recall sitting there, crying with her, in her lap, and noticing that though she sobbed harder than I, no tears fell from her eyes. I mentioned that and she said it was part of the curse laid upon her.
After that she never seemed very happy again and every night she cried without tears to put herself to sleep. She tried to hide the change from me but I could see how much she was hurting. One day I woke up and she was gone. I have been searching for her ever since."
Inuyasha finished his tale and looked to Kagome who was still watching him thoughtfully.
"Black hair streaked silver…"
