Chapter 31
Kagome put on her night gown back and ran after her husband. She saw him sitting nearby the river outside their house. Kagome can see feeling of hurt all over his face. She slowly walked towards him and sitting behind his back.
There is a moment silent between them. Then…Kagome said…
"I…am sorry….Haru….I didn't do it on purpose".
Still no reply from Haru.
"See…the problem is….I can never forget Inuyasha in my life. Besides you are so much look like him. I also find this so confusing how come you two are different men….",said Kagome truly.
"So…you take me as your ex…..because of this face….Tell me…what had happened inside there just now….also because I look like him?", said Haru cynically.
"Can't you blame…me. I've hardly known you. Though I am now your wife but we were married because of the circumstances not we love each other. I didn't know about you at all Haru….Inuyasha is always be a part of me….",said Kagome in tears. She feels how difficult it is to remember again her past.
"Why you guys were not together? What went wrong?", asked Haru still not looking at Kagome.
"It's a long story. My relation with him had been …on and off all the time because he got other girl in his past before he met me. I mean they both still love each other. However, things did not happen as per my wish in the end. We were going into a separate direction. I caught up between my love to my family and Inuyasha",said Kagome.
"Do you love him?", said Haru.
"I will always love him and never forget him", said Kagome.
"Then why you didn't want to be together with him", said Haru confused.
"He….didn't want me anymore…..He asked me to marry somebody else's….",said Kagome devastatingly.
"Then did you marry to somebody else?", asked Haru
"Yes….I married to other man…I got no option I had a child without a husband besides I wanted to show Inuyasha that I didn't need him either. He broke my heart just after the incident….",said Kagome.
"What incident…?",said Haru. Kagome can feel the tense in his voice.
"Nothing….just forget about it", said Kagome sadly.
"So…You are telling me….now actually you are a married woman…?",asked Haru suddenly.
"No more!….My first marriage were lasting only for 6 months", said Kagome.
"That idiot! How come he did that to you", said Haru furiously.
"No…He wasn't wrong. In fact.. he is a good man. He is a gentleman enough to marry me which at that time I was already pregnant with Inuyasha's children", said Kagome when suddenly Haru interrupted her……..
"You said you were having Inuyasha's children?" asked Haru.
"I got two kids….They are all Inuyasha's",said Kagome
"TWO!",said Haru in hoarsely voice. "You didn't tell Inuyasha about all these", said Haru. He looked on the other way.
"How could I….He didn't even bother to look for me….",said Kagome.
"SHIT………….!",screamed Haru… out of the blue. He just punched his fist so hard to the rock till Kagome can see the blood is coming from his hand.
"Haru….are you alright? Why you were so angry….? I just told you the truth about me….",said Kagome bewildered of his reaction.
"LEAVE ME ALONE! KAGOME…..Go back to your room! I am not a good husband that you can rely on right now…",said Haru struggled to control himself.
"I am sorry….Haru about everything. About tonight….but….",said Kagome.
She didn't expect Haru so shocked to know about her past. Well…he should be….because my past were not that bright. Said Kagome to herself sadly.
"Don't say a word…we talk again tomorrow morning….",said Haru still didn't look at her.
Kagome walked away from her husband. After Kagome's leaving, Haru punched again his fist to the rock…till it's broken apart.
"FUCKKKKKKKK!",he screamed out of his lung with tears in his eyes.
In the next morning, Kagome couldn't find Haru anywhere. Miyoko told her that he had gone to the village already to see his patient.
How come he didn't say anything to me?…What's wrong with him? Did he regret now to marry me after he knew my past? Or he didn't like the fact that I am a mother of two children? Well…this marriage is just his good deed anyway. It didn't mean anything for him. I have to leave this place…immediately…to be with my children. There is no way for me staying in here with this man. He is a good man. I didn't want to hurt anybody's feeling anymore. It's just my fate…I will never meet and love anybody else's after Inuyasha…. in my life. Kikyo…I guess you are now laughing happily up there. Your wish is come true. None of us will be with Inuyasha in the end said Kagome in tears. Yukio and Naomi…mummy is coming home soon.
That night….Kagome waited Haru to come home. When he saw him coming….he looked so awful.
"Are you alright? ",said Kagome. She poured some tea for her husband.
"Yes…it's just a busy day today….",said Haru. He is a bit surprised that Kagome is nice to him.
"Haru…I want to talk something with you…",said Kagome.
"Hm….what about?", said Haru.
"I…I.. want to be frank with you. I want to go home….In the beginning I admit that I want to escape after our marriage but I can't do it now after I know you….are a good man. I can't repay your deed by saving my life from Lord Wanabe. However, I got my family somewhere there waiting for me. I missed my children. That's why I am begging you to let me go…",said Kagome earnestly.
Kagome saw Haru's expression is so plain like his mind is somewhere else.
"You mean to say you want to leave your husband…again….",said Haru cynically.
"Well….I think we got nothing on between us….and this marriage just for saving my life….right?",said Kagome.
"My darling… beautiful wife….do you think if nothing going is between us…I will just take you as my wife….",said Hare wittily.
"What….do you mean?",said Kagome.
"I m in love with you since the first time I see you….I marry you because I love you and I don't want Lord Wanabe take you away from me…",said Haru truthfully.
Kagome was shocked to know Haru's true feeling. He is in love with me.
"But…but…you know that I can't be with you…..since my heart is with Inuyasha….still", said Kagome.
"What do you think…if I say…I am willing to take that chance….to winning you back from him….",said Haru seriously.
"But….how about my children?",said Kagome.
"Your children are mine also now. We'll bring them here to live with us. I will not let you go Kagome….even if I have to die….",said Haru.
Kagome didn't know what to say….this is completely something that she isn't prepared to hear.
"But….you don't understand….I have my own world….I mean this is not simple as you think…I got my mum, brother and grandpa which they didn't know about our marriage. I am grateful that you love me and want to be with me…but I only bring you more sufferings…",said Kagome with tears on her cheeks.
Haru approached Kagome and wiped her tears with his hand. He held her in his arms.
"Stop crying! I will not waste this chance in my life. I have found the woman that I love…I want to be with you….Kagome….forever….Please stay with me…We can be happy in here. I am willing to meet your family to explain our situation….",whispered Haru.
"I love you …..Kagome",said Haru then locked her lips.
Kagome's mind doesn't work at all this time, she is simply amazed to understand what's happening. What am I waiting for…he is a good husband….a good father for the her kids….but how can I explain to mama, Jii-Chan and Souta that I am married (again) to a stranger which looked like Inuyasha though the good news is HE IS HUMAN! How I am gonna explain to Haru that I came here through the well. How about my job in there…..My God…it's enough shock for now. Let take one at the time first.
"Haru…..I….There is something….you should know also….",said Kagome after she pulled away gently from his kiss.
"What else…bring it on….!",said Haru smiled at Kagome.
"I came from different time….oh…how I explain this……I think you'd better sit down…",said Kagome. She started to explain to Haru about….where she lives….how she meet Inuyasha and her friends. About Shikon No Tama and Naraku…of course. Haru was listening to her story with his amusing face all over him.
"So….after you heard this all….do you think you still want to be my husband", asked Kagome when she finished her story.
"Yes….why not….",said Haru looking at her comically.
"Even though now you know Inuyasha is a half demon and my children are the mixture of him and me. I should tell you that Yukio is same as his dad. He got two doggy ears?", said Kagome.
"Yes….I still want to be your husband….The important thing that I know you now…. Your past didn't really matter", said Haru.
"By the way….you should know also about Inuyasha's half brother….his name is Sesshomaru…..he….",said Kagome. She hasn't finished her words when….
"I think it's enough I heard from now….Can you leave it your story for some other time", said Haru yawning.
"Ok….sorry I talk too much. Haru ..Can I ask you why…the other night you acted so strangely when I told you about my past….",said Kagome.
"Because I am pissed of with the man who left you when you were pregnant….",said Haru.
"You mean….Inuyasha. Don't blame him….cause the mistake also came from my side…It's just too complicated…you won't understand?", said Kagome
"Tell me….how come you still love him after all he did to you…",asked Haru. He looked directly at her.
"I also didn't know the answer for that….may be because he is my first love and I have never met anybody else like him….Well…Please don't talk about it anymore. Now….what about you? You have never told me about yourself", said Kagome suddenly.
"Because there is nothing good about my past. I simply didn't want to talk about it", said Haru so serious now.
"Tell me at least….where do you come from…..",said Kagome.
"I also didn't know the name of the village that I came from. I was an orphan since I was small. I had been wondering alone by myself all my life. Then I met this old man one day on my journey. He is a physician and very good in herbal medicine. I became his student. I joined him travelling from village to village helping sick people. He died 2 years ago. I continue to do his work till now….I ended up in this village", said Haru.
"Did you have any girlfriend….or ever meet someone during your journey..",asked Kagome so curious. How come a good and handsome man like him got nobody in his life.
"Why ….you want to know….?",said Haru smiled at her.
"Just answer the question…will you…",said Kagome.
"I had a girlfriend long time ago….but we broke up…..",said Haru sadly.
"What happened?", asked Kagome.
"She left me to marry somebody else's….",said Haru.
"How could she?", said Kagome in disbelief.
"Well….let's forget about her. I want to clean up first before I take my dinner", said Haru.
"But….how about my leaving?….You still didn't say I can go home….",said Kagome.
"We'll go together…..I'll take you to Inuyasha Forest tomorrow…and take your kids…",said Haru before he went out.
"Hahhh?...but my kids were not there….",said Kagome.
"Ok…let's take them wherever they are. I am with you always…Kagome.",said Haru
"But…..",said Kagome. She is really confused now.
"Another word from you….I'll take you having bath with me….ok….do you want that?"said Haru teasingly at her.
Kagome is blushing.
"You…..Go away!", said Kagome. Funny….she has never felt this happy before. My God…is this really my happiness with Haru. I guess if I cannot have the real Inuyasha…I'll be settled with his twin then….said Kagome smiles.
