Last Time...
"Can I have a hint?" InuYasha pleaded, wanting to know what she was thinking of and what had brought on that fiery kiss.
"Let's just say, it's about something you said earlier. And I was just responding." Kagome continued to smile.
"Whatever wench," InuYasha murmured, giving her quizzing stares.
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!" a tissed picked Kagome, even though she was smiling from the nickname.
"Too bad wench."
"STOP!"
InuYasha chuckled but still ignored her request. Scooping her up bridal style, InuYasha kissed her forehead while whispering, "You'll always be my little wench."
Chapter 22
Simple and Clean
"You're little wench eh?" Kagome said smiling as InuYasha placed her feet back onto the ground. Taking his hand, they began to head back to the other girls.
"Yep. You are my little wench and no one else's. Koga or Hojo will never have you. Oh and not Rian either." InuYasha smirked.
"So? Did everything work?" Eri quickly asked when they arrived back to the girls and their boyfriends. InuYasha merely nodded. Suddenly, more music began to play.
"Seems like we have another slow song to dance to," Kagome noted as she heard the semi-slow yet steady beat. She turned to her friends. "Any idea what song this is?" All three girls, shockingly, shook their heads.
"No... I've never heard it before. Odd yes I know," Eri replied as InuYasha, Kagome, and the girls boyfriends stood with their jaws to the ground and their eyes wide open. "Whaaaaat?" she asked, "Is it truly that weird for me not to know a song?"
"Let's go Kagome," InuYasha said, his hand still in hers, and he led her back to their corner as the first lines of the song began to play.
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
'Oh dear,' Kagome thought as she and InuYasha arrived at their corner. 'This is going to be an interesting song.' Suddenly, Kagome realized her head was resting against InuYasha's chest and they were rocking slowly back and forth.
"Kagome?" came InuYasha's voice and Kagome could feel his breath flutter across the top of her head.
You're giving me too many things
lately you're all I need
you smiled at me and said,
"Yes InuYasha?"
Don't get me wrong I love you
but does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you'll understand
what I meant when I said, No,
I don't think life is quite that simple
"Well... I've met your entire family... everyone except your father. Um... if it's not a bother, what happened to him?" InuYasha asked timidly, as if Kagome would break down crying. Kagome seemed to freeze in his arms.
"My father?" Kagome murmured and she pulled herself away from InuYasha's grasp and turned her back on him.
"You don't have to tell me. If you don't want to," InuYasha quickly added. But Kagome merely shook her head.
"No, you deserve to know. I have never told anyone so you should feel proud I guess. Not even Eri, Arisa, and Yuka know." InuYasha waited as Kagome seemed to be collecting her thoughts.
"My father was a priest. My grandpa had actually been able to convince him to become one," Kagome chuckled. InuYasha continued to wait. "One day, he... he lost it. He cracked. He began running around, claiming to see demons darting about and began terrorizing the city. He... he killed three people. They locked him up and... took his sword and hid it in the well house. He died three days after being in the asylum."
"Kagome..." InuYasha came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, pulling him to her. He could smell salt; Kagome was crying. Her body shook slightly as InuYasha held her there. But Kagome wasn't finished.
"I... I never told you but... the sword... it was yours," Kagome murmured between the tears.
"What?" InuYasha asked, confused.
"It's the Tetsusaiga. It's your sword. I never realized it until when you first made it transform." InuYasha froze. How could this be? Why would Kagome's father have his sword in the 'future'? How was that possible?
"My father also left a journal. But he burned it in his final hours, saying something about not wanting his children to learn of the great past, the past of the demons." InuYasha took his arms from around Kagome and turned her around so he could face her.
"Do you think your father had been to the feudal era? Did he come to my time like you do?" Kagome simply nodded.
'This is unreal...' InuYasha thought. 'Kagome's father came to my time? Where was I? Was I born yet?'
"InuYasha, can we get off this subject? For now?" Kagome looked into his eyes and InuYasha could easily tell she was pleading with him. He nodded.
"Of course." InuYasha wiped away Kagome's tears and placed a small kiss on her forehead, before pulling her back to his chest.
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
"InuYasha, promise you'll never let me go," Kagome whispered.
InuYasha answered without hesitating, "Never. I will never let you go. I promise."
The daily things
That keep us all busy
All confusing me that's when you came to me and said,
Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so,
And maybe something are that simple
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
"Kagome? Can I ask you another question?" InuYasha asked after waiting a while. Kagome had finally calmed down but InuYasha didn't want to upset her again.
"Sure... what do you want to know?"
"What are you planning to do once the jewel is complete and Naraku is dead? Will... will you stay here, in your time? Or..." InuYasha took a deep breath before going on, "Will you come and stay with me... and the others?" Kagome, once again, froze in his arms. She had never thought of that.
Hold me
whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
nothing's like before
After a moment of thought, Kagome was ready to answer InuYasha's powerful question. "I think I'll do the same thing as I do now. Practically live there but come back here to my time every now and then. I couldn't leave you. Not now." Kagome wrapped her arms around InuYasha and hugged tightly. InuYasha smiled and hugged her back.
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
"What was thing like before you met me?" InuYasha asked, both of them still in a bear hug. Kagome poked her head up at him and smiled.
"Very, very boring. Without you and all of the nutty adventures we go on, I would never get to have any fun or joke around with my true friends! But, I would be getting better grades and wouldn't have so much homework." Kagome chuckled before leaning her head back against InuYasha's chest.
"So, meeting me was a good thing, right?"
"At first it was bad because I had homework and school. But now, I truly don't care. Yes, meeting you was a good thing."
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
And even when the song ended, Kagome and InuYasha remained in their tight hug, relishing the feel of one another, knowing that neither of the two would ever leave the other.
