Disclaimers Notice: Ok, I don't own Inuyasha. Must we go through
with this every chapter? Dang. Oh well.
Authors Beginning Note: The last we left of two really mysterious people were coming up with an evil plot. No one knows who it's going to effect, what it's going to effect, who it's going to change, or what it's even about. We don't even know if these two people are friends or foes to the Inu gang! Well, I guess you'll just have to read to find out!
Chapter 7
Inuyasha's war
And Kikyo's presence
Inuyasha sat up in an old tree, one that was rough, but big and strong. He had a gloomy expression on his face. The sky was clouded, no stars or moon to shine down upon the earth below.
Inuyasha's thoughts however weren't on what it was like outside, it was cast upon the two people he loved the most, and the war he was ensnared in between them.
Damn it! Why does this have to be so complicated! Why can't I just choose one! Oh, Kagome, I wish I could have told you how much I truly feel for you, but it would make it worse, especially if you don't love me back, and what about Kikyo? I love her too don't I? What then? Kagome? Why do you insist on being so faithful? Through all of the arguments, the pain, the dangers, you could have left. And every once in a while you did, but not really, you always came back. Why did you stay by my side? Maybe it's not my side she's staying on. Maybe it's just because she loves Kouga, and this is a good excuse to stay.
"Disgusting! That damned wolf!" He changed his position.
But if she did love me.Her love ME? Now why would she do that? What makes me think that I deserve her? After all, I'm just a lousy half-breed. Nothing more than a Hanyou. A mutt with nothing to his name but a lousy sword. So how could she love me? How could I hope for something so stupidly impossible?
She thinks I love Kikyo, and I do. Oh, why does this have to be so fucking hard? I should stay with Kikyo. At least I know she loves me, and I owe her my life don't I? After all, she was the first person to ever truly love me. She may be dead, but does that mean we still can't be together. She is different now, but does that mean we aren't meant for each other? They say that death can't kill love; it can only make the lovers wait longer to be together. Is it true? Or has my love for Kikyo died along with her? No. I do love Kikyo. We may have had some troubles, but we still love each other.
Kagome. I hurt both of you by not choosing, but I promise you both, that when the time comes, I will choose. Whether it's right or wrong, I'll choose. I don't want you to shed any more tears for me Kagome.
Kikyo, you were the first to love me. I know I shamed you when I was a Hanyou, but I can change that. You loved me, and I owe my life to you. I love to hold you and feel you; I love to hear your voice. I love to look at your beautiful form. I love the strong determination you posses. I love you. Being with you feels so right.
But I love you too Kagome. I love your gentle smile. I love your light touch. I love how your eyes gleam when you're happy. I love how you look. I love how, even when your weak and can do nothing, you try to anyways. I love how forgiving and kind you are. I love you. But, being with you feels so right too.
Just then a slight breeze picked up. Inuyasha sniffed the air and looked up. He saw soul stealers. Demons. The very ones that captured living souls and brought them to Her, in order for her to keep the body she has.
"Kikyo." He whispered and took off running through the thick forest, leaves barely crunching under his feet. It wasn't long till he smelled her really close buy and slowed. He stopped when he saw her by a pond. There were trees everywhere, and leaves were slowly falling onto the pond, slightly disrupting it's peaceful calm. Kikyo looked up at Inuyasha and smiled. Inuyasha walked to her and met her embrace. He then held her at arms length and looked at her. He tipped up her face and lowered his face, so that he could meet her lips. They were caught up into each other's embrace and stood there for minutes at a time. Then Inuyasha reluctantly pulled away and looked at her. Somehow, they found themselves lying against a tree by the pond, Kikyo wrapped into his arms. They were silent. They just listened to the wind playing through the trees, and the sounds of the fall night.
"Inuyasha?" Kikyo finally broke the silence with her question.
"Hmm?".
"Where are the others?" Inuyasha looked Kikyo shocked. Normally Kikyo couldn't care less about where everyone else was, all she cared about was that she was with Inuyasha.
"Why?"
"Oh, no reason, I was just curious." Inuyasha though about it, then replied:
"Sango Miroku, Nara, and Shippo are at camp." Then he hesitated for a moment. "Kagome went back to her time to visit some relative she hadn't seen in a while." The both of them gazed at the ripples. They stared at how small they started but then how big they grew, and ultimately, how they seemed to disappear.
"Inuyasha." Kikyo whispered.
"Yes?" Inuyasha said lightly.
"I think I've found a way to be whole. I think I've finally found a way to get a body back" Inuyasha looked startled then he began to smile.
"You have? But how.when?" He started questioning her. Kikyo started to get up; Inuyasha got up too and clasped her hands in his.
"Shhh." She said and placed a finger on his lips.
"I can't tell you now. It will be a surprise. Till then, will you keep it secret?" She asked looking into his eyes. He gazed fondly into her eyes. He smiled.
"I promise." He said and then he leaned forward and gave her a kiss. They stayed like that until Kikyo pulled back.
"I have to go now, but I promise you, you'll see me soon. Maybe not quite as you had expected, but I'll come." She whispered into his ear. Inuyasha wanted to ask her what she meant, but she soon disappeared in the rising fog, but her scent still lingered.
She's going to be alive again. She's going to be with me again. Maybe, this is how fate intended it.
Inuyasha kept staring at the water, as if it could tell him something. Not ready to see the others, he sat on the ground and leaned back into the tree.
It ripples, but it's lifeless, beautiful, but not sparkling. Like someone who is content.
It was those thoughts that lingered into his mind, right before he fell asleep, at the bottom of the tree he was leaning against. Dewdrops began to form on his sleeping body, but Inuyasha didn't wake till morning.
Authors Ending Note: Ok, now a lot of you are saying (BOOO!!!) to the way the pairings seem to go right now, so lets get these pairing straight. It will be: Inuyasha and Kagome; Miroku and Sango; Maybe Fluffy and Rin (I don't know yet) And Hojo will get a girlfriend, I won't reveal who it is yet.
Pairings stand as it is, I know it doesn't seem like it the way the story is going, but don't worry. They say love conquers all; I'm just trying to build a really good plot and a lot of suspense. So how am I doing? Well, I bet you don't have a clue of what's going on in my next chapter huh.
I mean, Kikyo is coming back? Uh,oh-trouble, Kagome's not coming back? And what about school? The plotters still haven't openly revealed themselves, does that mean really big trouble? What of Sango and Miroku? How are they going to handle getting the shards, especially with Inuyasha as he is now, a ticked off Sango, and a worried Shippo? Oh boy, this should turn out to be quite the story! I can tell ya that!
