Chapter 27
Three Years now after that……..the story continues….
Kagome Higurashi is now a 20 years old young mother and beautiful career woman. Her love story is finished with Inuyasha. She looked more mature than her age. Well…we can't blame her. Life is too tough for her. She got two kids from Inuyasha, a boy and girl when she was 17 years. Yukio and Naomi. Naomi is her daughter. She looked like Kagome and she is fully in human form (Kagome was relieved about that). Inuyasha didn't know about Naomi. How could he? Kagome never intended to have anything to do with him anymore.
Kagome did marry Houjo after she came back the last time from the feudal era. However their marriage survived for only 6 months. When Houjo found out that she got pregnant for the second time and it is not his..… AGAIN! He couldn't take it anymore. He divorced her… not to mention their sex life is suck! Kagome had never told anyone that she got raped. So everyone think all her children are Houjo's. Kagome was never bothered about what people said anyway.
She managed to finish her study after the birth of her second child and now worked in a very good firm of a beauty product. She has her own apartment nearby her old house also. Her family is already moved back to their old house. The Shrine had been rebuilt. They still kept the well as it is. Well after all, her family realised there was nothing they can do if Kagome or Inuyasha wanted to see each other again…so they were not too bother of sealing the well again besides Inuyasha never came back again to see Kagome. One or two times, she had come to visit her friends in Feudal Era. Sango has two kids already, all boys. Kaede is still a miko who is helping people. Shippo is now a teenager. He found his father's relatives and lived with them.
Kagome never met Inuyasha again. He had left the village for good according to Kaede after he became a human using the Shikon No Tama. Ever since the incident happened with Kagome, he made a vow not to hurt any human being again in his life. In order to do that, he had to become human…hadn't he? So Kaede had fulfilled his wish. Kagome's leaving made a huge impact in Inuyasha's life especially his love life. He never again felt in love with anybody. None know where he is after that. The Shikon No Tama is now pure and had been put at Jii-Chan's cupboard where it should be at the first place.
Kagome had been visiting the Feudal Era more regularly now after she knew Inuyasha wasn't at Kaede's village anymore. She promised to Sango that every once in 6 months, she will come there sometimes with the kids or by herself. At first, she used to think it's probably best she never went back there again but she knew it that she can't hide or run from the past. Besides she loves also her other friends in there.
One evening, Kagome just came back from her office. She opened the door of his apartment and saw her mom was there with the kids.
"Mama…..mama…" said Yukio as soon as he saw Kagome.
Kagome smiled and held him on her arms.
"What you have been doing with grandma?" asked Kagome then gave a kiss to Yukio.
"Drawing…." said Yukio then showing the picture to her.
"That's very good..Yukio….where is your sister?" asked Kagome to Yukio.
Her mom was getting her dinner ready in the kitchen.
"She has already slept….Kagome", said her mom.
Normally, Mrs. Higurashi will stay at Kagome's apt. and is looking after Yukio and Naomi while Kagome is at work. Sometimes Jii-Chan or Souta will be there also. Then at night, they will go back to their old house. Occasionally Kagome will drop her kids to her mom's place before she goes to office.
Kagome then went to Naomi's room and gave her a kiss. She then took a shower. Tomorrow… I don't have to go to work. I got a week break from the office. After finished her bath, she brushed her hair and looked herself in the mirror. For a woman who got two kids already, her body is still looked the same as it was. She got a short hair now up to her shoulder only. The only thing that bothered her is the scar below her belly….is still there. She got that from the rape….from Inuyasha. Inuyasha…..How could I forget you? You left me two kids with me….You left me with this scar forever. said Kagome closing her eyes. STOP IT Kagome! It's a new life now. I am finished with that. She then came out from the bathroom and saw Yukio has slept on the sofa with her mom sitting next to him.
"Kagome….why don't you go for a holiday tomorrow. Since this is your first break", said her mom.
Kagome is having dinner now.
"Yeah…I am thinking to visit Sango….It's been a while I didn't see her. She promised to take me for a horse riding. So I am going to enjoy my holiday in there…..I am going to bring Yukio and Naomi also…" said Kagome.
"No…you go alone. This time let Jii-Chan and me taking Yukio and Naomi for holiday. You had taken them two times to go there. This time I want you to enjoy yourself. You had never been happy since…." Mrs. Higurashi didn't finish her words.
"You mean since my divorce with Houjo….Don't worry mum! I am fine. We don't love each other and the marriage was not supposed to happen anyway", said Kagome.
"I am sorry Kagome….that's because of me…." said Mrs. Higurashi sadly.
"No…it's not your mistake. You were only doing what you think the best for me…that time", said Kagome.
"I am so proud of you….Kagome. You have done well in your life…I know it's not easy", said Mrs. Higurashi. She is taking Yukio now to his bedroom.
She is getting ready to go home before she asked Kagome…
"Do you still in love with Inuyasha?" said Mrs. Higurashi suddenly.
"hm…of course not….I am happy now. May be I'll be better living single….mom", said Kagome straightforwardly.
"How can you say that? You are still young and beautiful…and those kids need a father's love in their life…..you…."
"Mom! You are doing it again….." said Kagome smiled at her mom.
"Alright... I don't want to interfere again but please think about it. I know there are some guys from your work who are interested with you…." said her mum again.
"Ok….mum….go now it's late and thank you. I will come with the kids tomorrow then…bye…." said Kagome.
Mrs. Higurashi then left her. Kagome cleaned the table and went to sleep. She was so excited about her plan tomorrow. She then remembered what her mum's saying but then she said to herself. Who needs man! I am fine by myself. I am doing well with my life. My children will be doing fine just like me.
At the Feudal Era
Kagome is doing very well with her riding on a horse. Sango and Miroku have been watching her so pleased with Taro and Kenji, their two sons.
"Look guys….I can even going faster…." said Kagome proudly.
"Kagome-Chan if you want, you can go to that side….There is a beautiful river in there. Go on! I will prepare the lunch for us. When you have enough riding then come back home", said Sango smiled at Kagome.
"Ok…I'll see you guys….soon…" said Kagome. She is now going to the direction where Sango had shown her.
She is enjoying so much riding the horse. Now she can see the river is there then she tries to slow down the horse….but suddenly she can't handle it properly. The horse is going faster and faster…….far away now from Miroku's village. She is worried….where is she going…?
The horse had been running for long now….without any definite direction. Kagome was so scared if she pulled the horse suddenly then she will fall down. So she just kept following wherever the horse is running. She knew for sure…she got lost now. It's started getting dark. However….the horse stopped at last….but before she can even control her balance………bumps! She felt down from the horse with her stomach hit the ground first. She felt so much pain. After that the horse ran away again leaving her alone in forest. Kagome was panic now. She looked around but none was there….. What's this place? She started crying. When suddenly she heard some steps from the bushes…., she ran as fast as she can. But something hit her in the head….then everything was dark. She can only heard noises of some people were talking and they had carried her somewhere. When she was awake, she saw a beautiful girl was sitting next to her where she was lying.
"Where am I?" said Kagome. She looked around. She is inside a room. The room looked so clean and there was a big cupboard in the middle of the room contained of herbs.
"Miss…the people from the village has found you unconscious in the forest. They bring you here….so that my master can heal your wound…." said the girl again.
Now Kagome can feel the soreness on her stomach….because of the fall from the horse and her head had been strapped up also. It must be… she hit the big branch from the tree…she said to herself.
"What is your name?" asked Kagome to the girl.
"Miyoko….. Just have a sleep ….my master will be coming soon. He always come back late. Drink this herb…" said Miyoko. She then left Kagome alone after she had given her something to drink.
Kagome tried to close her eyes…and thinking of Miroku and Sango. Please guys come and get me. Where am I? Suddenly, she heard Miyoko was talking with someone and then she left. Then she can feel a strong hand is trying to open her blouse. She wanted to open her eyes but it's too heavy. It must be from drink that Miyoko gave her. She managed to open her eyes little bit. She was almost shocked to death seeing the man in front of her….the man who is checking the wound on her stomach….is …..INUYASHA. She wanted to say something...but she was not able to move her lips. It is really him…he is a human now….with his black hair is tied up. Who can forget that face! He may be looked bit older with some of his grey hairs but she can't deny it that he looked still damn cute and handsome as he was. Then she wished this is only a dream….please only a dream. I don't want to see him again. No! Not again. Did he know who I am? My God….why I cannot control myself….Didn't I say I don't love him anymore. She was then pretended to be asleep. She can listen what's going on there. Someone has come in. It's Miyoko's voice…
"Master….The Lord of Wanabe had requested this woman to be brought there in his palace as his guest after you have put some medicine of her", said Miyoko.
"No! She will stay here with me…." said that this man. This time Kagome knew for sure from that voice….IT IS INUYASHA. She tried to cover all her emotions. She feels her body is shaky now.
"But…usually you always send your patient to him…..." said Miyoko. Kagome can hear a jealousy tone from Miyoko's voice. Funny thing …..Kagome felt annoyed at her suddenly.
"Leave her alone! She is not from this village….I will take care of her…" said Inuyasha irritated at Miyoko now.
"I am sorry….master. Are you alright? You looked so tense….today!" said Miyoko again.
"I am fine….and please go. I need to take care of her wound", said Inuyasha. Kagome can hear the door is being locked.
"Oh….ok", said Miyoko grudgingly and then left them alone.
Now only two of them in the room. Kagome can almost listen to her own heart beating so fast. She wanted so much.. to run, scream or be disappeared if she can. She can feel his warm hand was starting unbuttoned her blouse now. She feels a strange sensation from his touch makes her so dizzy and shivering. She almost got a heart attack when she heard…
"Stop moving! ..." said Inuyasha suddenly.
