Chapter 23:
Kagome and Inuyasha were walking through the village. Clover was leading them to where the council was, and Flower and Aqua followed behind them.
Inuyasha still continued to hear people's comments, but tried his best to ignore them.
"We're here." Clover said as she stoppped.
Kagome looked up to where there was a hole in a tree.
"In that hole is where the council is waiting for you." Aqua said.
"OK." Kagome said, then she looked at Inuyasha and realized, how the heck is he supposed to get up there?
Then Kagome got an idea. Shestepped away from Inuyasha a little bit and looked at him. "Stay still Inuyasha." Kagome said.
"What's wrong Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, sounding a bit concerned.
"Nothing. I just need you to stay right there for a minute." Kagome repleid. Then she closed her eyes and waved her hands and little sparkles flew from her hands and surrounded Inuyasha.
Inuyasha looked around him. What was happening? What was Kagome doing to him?
Then a cloud of smoke surrounded Inuyasha. The could stayed there for a few minutes, and when it cleared, Inuyasha had wings.
"What the hell is this?!" Inuyasha yelled.
"You'll need them to get to that hole up there." Kagome replied. "Did you expect me to carry you?"
"No!" Inuyasha yelled. "But they're just so... girlie!"
"Deal with it. I'll make them dissappear once we get up there." Kaogome said.
"Whatever. Let's just get this overwith." Inuyasha said. Then he started to fly using the wings Kagome gave him, and found it, to his surprise,very easy.
Then they landed in the room where the council was and saw a whole round table with chair around it. Each chair had someone sitting in it, and all the people looked like old men.
"He-hello?" Kagome said.
"Ah! Kagome. We need to talk to you about your duties as the village leader, and taking over your mother's throne." One said. Then he saw Inuyasha. "Who is this?"
"This is my true love, Inuyasha." Kagome replied, making it a point that Inuyasha was the one she loved and not Hojo.
"Oh. Well, if he could step out for a moment and wait in that area over there while we discuss, then that would be great." The one said.
"And then we would like to talk to him, in private." Another said.
"Sure." Kagome said, then asked Inuyasha if he could go over to the area the elder fairies had pointed out. He did, and it had a basrrier around it, which made him unable to hear anything that was being said.
"Thankyou." The fairie said. "Now, let's get down to business."
"Right. But what exactly do I do?" Kagome asked.
"Well, you are the one who has the most power in this village. Nothing can be done, construction wise or a few other subject without your permission, and you must have at last one heir to the throne for when you die." Another fairie explained.
"Am I able to just choose a successor if I do not wish to have an heir?" Kagome asked.
"No. Because your powers only pass down through generations. You must have a child, who will have the same powers as you." Another fairy replied.
"Is that all?" Kagome asked.
"Basically." The one fairy replied. "We will meet once a month to discuss things that come to our attention."
"OK." Kagome said.
"Now if you would step into that barrier, we would like to talk to the hanyou in private." The one fairy said.
"His name is Inuyasha." Kagome replied.
"Whatever." A fairy said, not making Kagome too happy. But she still stepped into the barrier and told Inuyasha that the council wanted to talk to him in private.
Inuyasha walked out of the barrier and stood before the council.
"You said you wanted to talk to me?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yes, umm... Inuyasha." One fairy said.
"About what?" Inuyasha asked.
"We understand that you and Kagome loved each other." Another Fairy said.
"Yeah. What of it?" Inuyasha asked.
"It doesn't work out for us." Someone said from behind Inuyasha.
Inuyasha turned around to see Clover, Aqua, and Flower.
"Why the hell not?!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Because, Kagome is also half breed. She is only half fairy, and half demon, which is one reason why she is more powerful than her mother was." Someone from the council said.
"And your point?" Inuyasha asked, not sounding too happy.
"If she were to be with you, then her child would not have her powers. They would not be powerful enough to take over the throne." Flower said as she walked towards Inuyasha.
"Which is why she has to be with Hojo, not you." Aqua said.
"Too bad." Inuyasha said.
"Don't you see that her being with you would only make things harder for her." Clover said. "Your child would suffer great because they wouldn't be just a half-breed."
"Whatever! I don't care! Kagome and I love each other! And I'm gonna let some stupid fairy take her when she wants to stay with me!" Inuyasha yelled.
Everyone was silence. They didn't want things to get violent because Kagome could sse what was going on outside of the barrier.
Then Kagome walked out of the barrier. "What's going on?" Kagome asked.
"Nothing." Flower said, giving Inuyasha a glare.
"Yeah. Nothing." Inuyasha said, then he walked over to Kagome. "Let's go." He said as he took Kagome's hand and walked out of the room with her.
Later on................
Kagome and Inuyasha found a quiet spot where they could spend some time together. They figured out that they would be able to get out of here until the next new moon, so they decided to just wait until then.
"So..." Kagome said. "What exactly happened between you and the coucil?" Kagome asked.
"They don't want us to be together." Inuyasha said while looking Kagome in the eye. "That's why they took you away from me in the first place. That's why they put up a barrier that I would be able to get through while I had my demon powers and that you wouldn't be able to get through either. And it'sa why they set that Hobo guy up as your husband." Inuyasha explained.
Kagome eyes started to water up. Then she basically threw herself at Inuyasha and hugged him. She cried into Inuyasha's chest, and Inuyasha could feel the tears soaking through his kimono and the wetness touching his chest.
"But why would they do that?" Kagome cried.
"Because..." Inuyasha didn't want to say more. She would only break down more if he told her. "Because I'm demon, not fairy." Inuyasha said, not wanting to tell her the whole story.
"So?" Kagome asked. "I love you." Kagome cried.
"I know." Inuyasha said as he hugged Kagome and rocked heer back and forth and kissed her on the top of her head as Kagome continued to cry into his kimono.
AN- I said I would make it longer to make up for the last chapter. So there you go. I know, you're all thinking I'm so evil for putting this little twist into the story. Inu and Kag can't be together 'cause the council and probably the rest of the village will be mad. And they're stuck in the village for another month! Hehehehehehe. Plz R&R. Thanx! TTFN!!!
