A/N: Yea I finally got another chapter up! Hope you enjoy this one, it explains what Inuyasha was thinking about after Kagome and him had sex.
Kikyou walked along the streets of Tokyo. She passed nightclubs, restaurants, and pedestrians.
'Finally, I'm free to do whatever I want' Thought Kikyou 'No organization to watch my every move. Nothing.' Glancing up at the sky Kikyou spotted the full moon. Then she remembered that she may not have an organization watching over her, but she does have the most dangerous vampire watching her. 'Lose one weak lap dog and gain another stronger one, just great'
Kikyou was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice that she wandered away from the commotion of Toshima and into the quiet streets of Sunshine city.
"Hey mom, when's Kagome coming home?" the voice of a small boy broke through to Kikyou and made her stop. Her eyes widen when she realized where she was. Sunset shrine. Her home when she was human.
"She's coming tomorrow Souta" came the voice of Souta's mother.
'What am I doing here?' Kikyou asked herself.
"Is she gunna come with her new instructor? The one that Myouga told us about?" asked Souta from his seat at the table as he watched his mother washing the dishes.
"I believe that she is Souta now go and get ready for bed you have school tomorrow," order Mrs. Higurashi turning away from the dishes to shoo Souta upstairs.
Kikyou stood outside in the walkway looking into the house through the kitchen window like a thief. 'Everything that I left behind…is in this house…' thought Kikyou regretfully.
Mrs. Higurashi turned back to the dishes after Souta ran out of the kitchen and stopped as she found herself staring into the eyes of her diseased older daughter Kikyou. Gasping out loud Mrs. Higurashi ran to the back door and yanked it open. Running into the yard Mrs. Higurashi ran to the spot that Kikyou had been standing at by the window.
"KIKYOU!" yelled Mrs. Higurashi spinning around frantically. "KIKYOU!" she yelled again tears forming in her eyes as the memories of Myouga coming to their home 5 years ago and breaking the news to the family about Kikyou being dead came unbidden into her mind.
"Please Kikyou…please tell me that you're alive and that Myouga was wrong about you leaving us…please" whispered Mrs. Higurashi into the shadows slowly lowering to the floor where she broke into sobs.
Grandpa who had been sitting in the living room with Buyo the family's fat cat came running out of the house when he heard his daughter screaming the name of her dead older daughter.
"Sweetie what's wrong?" asked Grandpa kneeling beside his daughter.
"I…I saw Kikyou…standing outside…the kitchen window…" Mrs. Higurashi explained through sobs that escaped her throat.
"Come inside the house dear and I'll make you some tea for you then you'll go onto bed after you've finished it ok" Grandpa helped his daughter up from the floor and back into the house.
Kikyou who watched the whole thing from the shadows surrounding the house felt something wet run down her cheek. Wiping it away with a finger Kikyou looked at the blood drop on her finger and then up into the god tree that she was under.
'I'm…crying…' Kikyou couldn't believe it. Surprised and shocked Kikyou immediately left Sunshine city without looking back.
"You'll love it Inu" cooed Kagome as she drove through the quiet streets of Sunshine city. "See there where that huge tree is?"
"Yea"-answered Inuyasha
"That's the god tree, it's been around since the feudal era and probably longer then that" Kagome said excitedly "It's seen a lot from my mom having Souta, to my first day of school and everything…even some unhappy times like the death of my father and now my older sister Kikyou"
Inuyasha heard the hurt tone in Kagome's voice as she said that and he couldn't help but try to bring her some kind of comfort so he intertwined their fingers since there was nothing more he could do, with Kagome driving and all…
Pulling up in front of Sunset shrine Kagome parked and then stepped out into the cool winter breeze. "Isn't it beautiful?" Kagome asked her breath visible in front of her.
"Keh let's get inside before we freeze out here" Inuyasha scowled pulling Kagome to him in a warm hug. "I don't want you to get sick or anything," he whispered softly into her ear.
"Ok, I'll give you the tour of the shrine later" Kagome whispered running her hand lightly back and forth on his arm "Hopefully before my grandpa or my brother Souta get to you, oh and you'll love my mom" Kagome added cheerfully breaking out of his embrace and running up the steps to the shrine house.
Inuyasha couldn't help but smile at how happy Kagome looked dancing around at the top of the stairs. "Be careful" Inuyasha cautioned walking up the flights of stairs.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha heard someone call as he got to the top of the stairs to where Kagome was waiting for him. Kagome turned around and spotted her mother near the entrance to the shrine.
"Mom!" Kagome screamed happily running to her mother. Throwing her arms around her mother Kagome hugged her tightly before releasing her mother and stretching her hand out to Inuyasha. "Mom, I would like for you to meet Inuyasha"
Mrs. Higurashi turned her attention to Inuyasha and smiled warmly at him. "Nice to me you, Mr. Yasha. I'm Kyoto Higurashi; Kagome's mother as you know" Mrs. Higurashi said out stretching her hand
"Nice to meet you Mrs. Higurashi, but please call me Inuyasha" Inuyasha said taking Mrs. Higurashi's hand.
"Well come in I know that your trip from Ginza was a very long one" Mrs. Higurashi opened the front door and ushered them in.
"You have no idea, mom" answered Kagome walking in with Inuyasha close behind. Once inside Kagome turned around to face Inuyasha. "How come you weren't as nice to me as you are to my mom when we first met?" whispered Kagome low enough so that her mom didn't hear.
"Because you're nothing but a teen" answered Inuyasha.
"Mind you that I'm 18 and if I were any younger you would have been in jail for statutory rape" Kagome whispered back angrily. "And-"
"Who wants tea?" asked Mrs. Higurashi cutting Kagome off and walking into the living room with a tray of porcelain china cups and a pot filled with steaming hot tea.
"I do," answered Inuyasha walking over to one of the four cushions that were lying on the floor around a small black marble table.
"Don't think that your off the hook yet, Inu" warned Kagome sitting across from Inuyasha.
The phone rang in the hall and Mrs. Higurashi excused herself to go answer it. A few minutes later Mrs. Higurashi returned and sat down next to Kagome. "That was Myouga"
Inuyasha and Kagome turned to look at her "He said that he's coming over and that he'll be arriving shortly"
Inuyasha swore under his breath and Kagome kicked him under the table. 'Watch your mouth' mouthed Kagome tilting her head slightly toward Mrs. Higurashi. Inuyasha rubbed his knee and then took the cup that Mrs. Higurashi offered him.
The three of them stayed drinking tea in the living room until the doorbell rang. "That must be Myouga", said Mrs. Higurashi standing up and walking out of the living room and into the hall.
"Good afternoon, Kyoto" Myouga told Kyoto kissing the top of her hand. "You look lovely"
"Thank you" answered Kyoto smiling down at Myouga. "Come into the living room, Kagome and Inuyasha are here"
Myouga followed Kyoto into the living room and stopped once he was inside. Sniffing the air Myouga's eyes widen in shock. Kyoto and Kagome looked at him in surprise and watched as his eyes slowly went to Inuyasha who was calmly sipping his tea.
"Inuyasha, may I speak with you in private" Myouga ordered more then asked. Inuyasha placed his cup down on the table before he rose from his seat and followed Myouga out into the backyard.
Once outside Myouga hit Inuyasha over the head so hard that Inuyasha fell face first into the ground. "What the fuck did you do?" hissed Myouga.
"A lot of things, why don't you be more specific" Inuyasha answered after he sat up.
"You honestly thought that I wouldn't find out? That I wouldn't notice if Kagome's scent change?" asked Myouga.
"I couldn't control myself," answered Inuyasha hanging his head.
"No, you just didn't want to stop there's a difference" hissed Myouga. "And now Kagome is in even more danger and this will be used against both of you during your battles"
"Then take Kagome out of the organization"
"I can't!" yelled Myouga "The council wont give a shit if Kagome's pregnant! They'll still make her fight because she's all we've got" Myouga calmed down some but now it was time to tell Inuyasha. "Kagome's a sacrifice"
Inuyasha's head snapped up at this. "What?"
"Inuyasha, you've heard of the shikon no tama, right?" asked Myouga.
"The jewel of four souls. It can grant the holder any wish that they desire," answered Inuyasha. "The thing is that it only appears every five hundred years and it's almost always inside a human host…" Inuyasha stared up at Myouga in shock.
"No…" whispered Inuyasha shacking his head "No, she doesn't"
"Inuyasha," began Myouga "Kagome has inside of her not only your child but also the shikon no tama" guilt and sadness seeped into Myouga's eyes "The only reason that Kaede summoned you was because you have to kill Kagome-"
"NO!" screamed Inuyasha. Scrambling to his feet "I WILL NEVER KILL HER!"
"Inuyasha she's a sacrifice! It's your job to kill her!" yelled Myouga regretfully.
The sound of an engine starting made Inuyasha and Myouga turn and run to the steps of the shrine just in time to watch Kagome drive away in the BMW. Inuyasha was about to run after her when a hand gripped his shoulder and had him turning his head to look at Kyoto's crying face.
"Let her go", whispered Kyoto "You two have already caused her enough pain and trouble" Kyoto turned and walked back into the house.
Inuyasha slumped down to the ground. Myouga stared at Inuyasha with regretful eyes before he walked down the steps and disappeared around a corner.
An hour later Inuyasha; who was still sitting down on the ground near the shrine steps, felt a drop hit his neck and then several small drops fell before the clouds opened up and dumped heavy sheets of rain to coat the city. Inuyasha lifted his head up to the sky and let the rain wash away his tears. At Koishikawa Botanical Gardens Kagome was also lifting her head up to the sky to let the rain wash away her tears.
A/N: Bet that none of you saw that coming. Let's see what happens with Inu and Kag in the next chapter.
