Sequel Chapter 12
"Mama, do you feel any better from before?" Shippo asked softly to Kagome.
"Mhmm…" Kagome nodded slowly and patted his head.
Kagome was recovering a little slowly now because of all the wounds four days ago. Her rib bones have healed very well already. The lungs were still fixing their selves but at a good rate, it would be heal by the next day. All the cut that Kagome retrieved from her father were temporary scars except the one in her back and chest. Yoshiro and Shippo have never left the room for anything and Tisane never lost his post in front of the room. Inuyasha was only allowed in for five minutes to watch her and transfer some of her pain to him, then had to leave.
"Shippo, don't worry about it, Kagome will be good as ready by tomorrow morning." Yoshiro nodded.
"I know, but still, it's a lot to happen." Shippo said seriously.
"Hmm, well, it's best to ignore that." Yoshiro chuckled.
"Okay." Shippo nodded.
"You're just a kid, why don't you go and play outside, I got things covered here." Yoshio suggested.
"I don't know, are you sure?" Shippo asked.
"Yup, just go run along, but tell Inuyasha and my mother first." He informed him.
"Kay, I'll be back later mama." Shippo said nicely and trotted out of the room.
"Thanks Yoshiro…" Kagome said softly and started crying.
"Don't worry about it; you were holding it back so long. I had to say something for him to leave." Yoshiro explained.
"I'm a murderer…" She whispered.
"No, you're not, don't say that again Kagome." Yoshiro demanded.
"But… I am… I killed it." She whined
"You didn't kill it! Your father did, you didn't know!" He stated loudly.
Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha heard Yoshiro yelling. Tisane easily heard the yelling and knew what the conversation was about. He didn't move though. Sitting there and listening was all he could do.
"Yoshiro, don't yell at her." Tisane said at the door.
"Yeah… right… I'm sorry Kagome." Yoshiro said softly.
"It's okay…" Kagome replied softly.
"Kagome, don't think of it anymore, you hear me?" Tisane stated.
"Mhmm…" Kagome mumbled.
"Kagome, please excuse my absence for the moment." Yoshiro said and stepped out to talk with his brother but still kept an eye on Kagome.
"Next time don't tell me what to do." Yoshiro bellowed in a whisper.
"Either way, yelling isn't going to help her." Tisane stated. "She's a female and… well… there's nothing we can do to compare to it." He informed.
"Hmph, you act too old for your age." Yoshiro got up and walked back inside.
"Like 174 is young!" Tisane growled. (Gee, then I wonder how old is old?)
"Why in the hell was he yelling at my mate!" Inuyasha growled.
"She's blaming herself for what her father did. I'm no going to say anymore." Tisane said in a sad voice.
"Poor Kagome…" Sango started to cry a little.
"It's alright Sango, don't cry." Miroku patted her back.
The other day since Kagome was more then half way healed. Akemi decided to take him on a walk and tell him what happened. His heart ached for Kagome just as well as Sango did. It was hard to not tell Inuyasha what was happening. He saw how edgy the male hanyou was becoming. Miroku got up and looked at Tisane.
"Tisane…" Miroku started and walked upstairs.
"What?" Tisane asked and looked at him.
"Do you think it would be okay for Sango to be with Kagome?" Miroku asked quietly.
"Why, you don't know what's going on." Tisane stated.
"Sango and I know what happened that night and how she lost it." Miroku informed. "Akemi told us." He explained.
"Nh… stupid humans…" Tisane sighed. Then he turned his gaze inside the room.
/Kagome, do you want Sango in there with you?\\ Tisane barked softly. She shook her head no.
/She doesn't want to see anyone.\\ Yoshiro replied for her. /Their not allowed in here anyways.\\ He mentioned.
/Don't blame me, the monk asked.\\ Tisane grumbled.
/I blame you for asking that stupid question you knew the answer to.\\ Yoshiro scoffed.
/He asked for the female!\\
/What difference does that make?\\
/She could probably do more help for Kagome then we are.\\
/Follow your orders from mother and stop being a p…\\ Yoshiro stopped when he was about to say 'pup' then looked at her.
Kagome had silent tears sliding down her face. Yoshiro cursed at himself for being careless. He sighed and rubbed her arm softly. Tisane knew it was stupid of them to argue in her pain. They wanted to help as much as everyone else wanted to.
"She's not in the mood to see anyone right now. We just kind of ruined it." Tisane told Miroku with a sigh.
"I see…" Miroku replied and Tisane nodded to him.
Miroku walked down the stairs and went to apologize to Sango that she couldn't see Kagome. Sango knew it was probably going to happen, so she just nodded. Inuyasha was getting pissed off though. He felt Kagome's agony, pain, and suffering. No one would tell him why he couldn't see his mate, at least when she's awake. It was driving him insane; every night around the time Shippo goes to sleep, he would smell tears coming from the room. All he wanted to do is just bust through the door, go to her, and see if there was anything that he could do. Akemi knew he would want to try something like that, that's why Tisane was there to watch the room.
Akemi called Shippo in then gave them all their dinners and went up to the room to check on Kagome and Yoshiro while Tisane was munching away on his food. Yoshiro saw his mother come in with food and medical supplies. She gave Yoshiro his food and Kagome as well, but Akemi attended to her words before she would allow her to eat. Yoshiro looked just watched his mother take off Kagome's shirt and treat her small wounds. He didn't care if Kagome was half naked because he was a demon, he wasn't afraid of nudity, neither was his brother or mother. It wasn't like he was eyeing her down or anything, just watching what his mother was doing.
"Do you plan on getting up tomorrow Kagome?" Yoshiro asked softly.
"Uh-huh, I want to stand and walk around." She smiled.
"Try to sit up." Akemi ordered as she finished bandaging Kagomes chest and she nodded.
Kagome slowly sat up but painfully. She heard noises out side of window and looked over to find out it was starting to rain again. Not paying attention to her pain, she walked over towards the window and looked outside to the sky. Yoshiro and Akemi stood up and walked behind her. Was she going to do what they thought? Kagome's body pulsed slowly.
"I killed my father?" Kagome asked in a serious voice.
"Yes." Yoshiro and Akemi answered in the same tone.
"Damn… so now…" Kagome trailed off.
"You are the heir of the northern lands… Milady…" Akemi said softly.
Tisane gasped a little at hat he just heard. That's right, her mother is dead, so is her father now, she is the heir. He heard Kagome growl, Tisane assumed that she didn't want to take her place, at least not yet. Now he looked at Inuyasha, he was now a lord of the northern lands.
"I have no choice, do I?" Kagome said as the rain poured down harder.
"I'm sorry." Akemi said sullenly.
"It isn't your fault." Kagome breathed in for a second. Her body pulsed a little harder. "So be it." Kagome summoned all the energy and jumped at the window and went on the roof standing on the edge for a second, smelling the air. She bolted off to a place where they knew of.
"KAGOME!" Yoshiro shouted.
"Damn, that kid sometimes, I tell you…" Akemi stated.
They bolted through the door which scared the crap out of Tisane. Akemi didn't bother wasting her time going down the stairs. So instead, she jumped down and ran out the door. Yoshiro stayed next to Tisane for the moment.
"Kagome get back here!" She shouted in the rain.
"Yoshiro is she…" Tisane started.
"Yeah, she is." Yoshiro answered.
"Damnit, her demon has already kicked in, she is ready." Akemi sighed.
"What the HELL is going on and WHERE is Kagome!" Inuyasha was getting angry. But they ignored him.
"We should go now; she is going to do the call." Yoshiro stated.
"Yes I know, but Inuyasha will have to go too because he's her mate." Akemi informed.
"Either way, we better hurry up, this isn't exactly a good time to think about what we should or shouldn't do." Tisane stammered.
"Very well, Miroku and Sango will ride Kirara over; I shall take Inuyasha and Shippo." Akemi explained.
"Alright, meet you there." Yoshiro nodded.
Yoshiro and Tisane rushed out and transformed into their dog forms and bolted to the same direction Kagome went. Kirara ran out and transformed; Akemi told Miroku and Sango to hurry up and follow her sons. They nodded and went onto Kirara then fled off. Akemi looked at Inuyasha and Shippo and they looked at her.
"Come on, let's go." Akemi sighed and turned away.
"Tell me what the hell is happening right now." Inuyasha said angrily.
"I'll tell Shippo and he will tell you, there's no time to waste now." Akemi replied and walk outside and transformed.
Inuyasha grabbed Shippo and jumped on her back. Akemi went extremely fast and she caught up with her sons who were running. She knew Inuyasha wanted an explanation now.
/Kagome is taking her place as the lady of the northern lands. Inuyasha will so be the lord of the northern lands.\\ Akemi told Shippo and he told Inuyasha.
"I thought half demons weren't allowed to take over lands unless accorded to?" Inuyasha asked loudly through the rain.
/Indeed, but she is as strong as your older brother. Which mean she is as strong as any other demon that crosses her path, okay? You're father was leader of the western lands and you too are powerful as both you and Kagome share each others blood.\\ She explained to Inuyasha and so Shippo told him.
"Alright, that explains today, but you still have explaining to do about before." Inuyasha growled.
"Papa, mama is sad because…" Shippo started but Akemi was cutting him off with a growl. "Mama has to tell you." He sounded glum.
"Fine…" Inuyasha grumbled and they finally reached to their destination.
Inuyasha looked around for Kagome and couldn't find her. Suddenly a loud bark was aimed toward their direction. It sounded a little dark, but when Inuyasha looked at the source, it was Kagome with a lightening background behind her. Inuyasha grabbed Shippo and jumped off Akemi. The three demons transformed back into their non dog-like stage. They looked at Inuyasha and Shippo; poor Inuyasha was confused.
"Go to her side, now." Akemi demanded.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome, her eyes glazed red but had control of her self. Without a second thought, he made sure Shippo was on his shoulder, and he hopped from tree top to tree top till he was on the cliff next to Inuyasha. He looked at her, the expression was cold like Sesshomaru's, but she was crying. She looked at the ground for a minute. Shippo heard her growl for a moment and wondered a little. Suddenly Kagome's growl became into a keep snarl and then a loud and long howl that echoed through the lands. Akemi then did the same, soon Yoshiro and Tisane howled into the stormy night. As reflexes; Shippo too howled, even Inuyasha summoned up a decent howl as loud as theirs. (We'll just say Inuyasha's demon kicks in here so he 'can' talk demon, for now.)
Everything seemed quiet for the moment that it made Inuyasha wonder curiously. Shippo jumped into Kagomes arms and held onto her chest as she held him. Inuyasha felt the need to be on her right side instead of behind and so he walked to her side. They heard howls return and the earth started to shake a little. Inuyasha's mind was panicking but he body didn't move. Out of nowhere they saw red eye pierce through all the bushes and trees. Tisane, Yoshiro, and Yoshiro transformed back into dogs and jumped behind Kagome. Yoshiro was on her right side, Akemi was behind her, and Tisane was on her left side. They all sat down but still looking tall.
"Miroku, what's going on?" Sango asked nervously.
"It appears we will find out soon." Miroku said as he watched from below.
Black normal sized dogs started to appear from the bushes. Then the true dog demons came and halted in front of Kagome and looked at her. Some were in their non dog-like form and looked at her. Some looked at them in a disgusted way and others looked at them equivalently. They smelled her and seemed full demon as did the pup and her mate. Knowing her father was the lord, they watched her moves.
/My father Lord Tacoma of the Northern lands has been slain by his own heir. So, I have now decided, to take my place as Lady Kagome of the Northern Lands.\\ Kagome shouted loudly.
/As her mate, I shall take my place as Lord Inuyasha of the Northern Lands.\\ He too, shouted loudly.
/To all of you, who is to decline for us to take our place?\\ Kagome yelled and looked amongst all the demons.
/Why should you be our leaders? I… I can smell human blood in you!\\ A demon roared.
/With tainted blood… the other land Lords and Ladies will never be our allies!\\ Another one growled.
/Don't be so cocky of yourselves, I am Kagome, the Hanyou Priestess and can stand up to all who challenges me! Lord Inuyasha and I already have alliances.\\ Kagome smirked. /Look for your proof behind you.\\ She ordered them as she pointed behind all the black demons.
They all looked behind her and were amazed. There standing on four legs with brown hair covering the body. The eyes of it were icy blue and stood there in a serious stature. Kouga; Prince of the Eastern Lands was an ally to Kagome and to Inuyasha though he would want a different way (He's in wolf form). Then he walked through the pack of dog demons, and made his way to the front of the pack of the northern lands that would soon belong to Kagome and Inuyasha, and then halted. He howled his acceptance of being an alliance with them.
/I, Kouga of the Eastern Lands, am an ally to the new lord and lady.\\ Kouga barked.
/As am I…\\ A voice said from the brush.
The others turned their gaze toward the voice and shocked. There standing tall, was covered in white fur the covered his body (White, wait, is it Naraku! Psh, yeah right, I don't think so.). The Prince of the Western Lands walked out of the darkness in his dog form, looking like he was too good for them. He too walked through the demons and came to his halt and howled his acceptance just as well.
/An alliance to my younger brother, and Lady Kagome…\\ He barked coldly.
/Thank you both, Prince of the East and West lands.\\ Kagome nodded to them and took her stand. /DOES ANYONE NOW DEFY US?\\ She barked loudly. Howls beyond howls came over all the lands of Feudal Japan for the celebration of the heir claiming their right spot.
A few hours have passed and everyone had left the strange ceremony. Sesshomaru returned to his castle and Kouga returned to his den. All the black dog demons were gone as well. Miroku and Sango decided it was best to leave and Shippo went with them. They got their ride on Kirara as Tisane, Yoshiro, and Akemi left to lead the way.
All that was left was a confused Inuyasha and his mate who was still in her demon stage. Her eyes glazed red still and she was crying. Early she wasn't, but now she is, was it because she was alone with Inuyasha? Inuyasha just couldn't take it anymore and looked at her. The rain started to come down slowly.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha whispered.
"I'm sorry…" Kagome's voice returned to normal and her eyes didn't glazed red.
"Sorry, but for what?" He grabbed her shoulder and looked at her with concern in his eyes.
"You know, how… how my father stabbed me, when I pushed you out of the way?" She asked softly.
"Yes, I'm sorry you got hurt, if I had just…" Kagome place her clawed finger on his mouth to stop his talking.
"You protect me; I protect you. But that's… that's not what the problem…" She tried to cease her crying.
"Hey…" Inuyasha brought his hand under her chin to make her look at him. "If it's that bad, you don't have to tell me." He said softly.
"NO!" Kagome shook her head violently. "Inuyasha… I HAVE to tell you." She sighed.
She calmed herself slowly and tried to talk. The rain came down a little harder and the clouds, ever so darker.
"When my father stabbed me, you thought I was dead, didn't you?" She started with a question.
"At first yes, but I knew you weren't because of our blood bond." Inuyasha replied, not liking where the conversation was going.
"He… he did kill… he killed something that was ours…" She started to cry.
"I… I don't understand… Kagome…?" He searched her eyes.
"When we mated about a week or so ago, I became pregnant… and he… he…" She cried harder. "When he stabbed me that last time… he killed it…" She sobbed hard.
"Kagome, are… are you serious…?" Inuyasha was shaking in shock and fear, she nodded.
"I could've been more careful and destroyed him easily if I had known I had a pup inside me! I'm so sorry Inuyasha!" She sobbed.
"No Kagome, it isn't your fault…" He sighed. "Come here." He pulled her into an embrace. "I should've protected you like a mate should have." He explained.
"You did as I told you to, I'm glad about that. I'm so stupid though, I couldn't even tell I was having a pup! So it paid with its life… (Sort of)" She sobbed in his haori. He pulled her far enough to look at her face.
"You aren't going to blame yourself anymore. Don't you dare, do you here me?" He said seriously.
"Inuyasha, it will still grow! I have to give birth to a dead pup! If I…" Inuyasha caught her lips with his and kept her quiet.
"We will deal with it then when the time comes. Until then, stay calm and don't worry about anything." He tried to sound tough for her, when really he was shaken up.
"But… Inuyasha…" Kagome started but Inuyasha picked her up bridal style.
"Come on, you should be tired after all this, when we get back to that village will go to that room upstairs for you to sleep in."
"Nh… mhmm…" Kagome nodded and nuzzled into his haori.
Inuyasha leaped from tree top to tree top at slowly with grace. After about an hour, they finally arrived at the village. Everyone else was asleep already and so Inuyasha carried her up the stairs and set her down.
"Kagome… did you know that Kouga and Sesshomaru was going to come?" Inuyasha asked in a whisper.
"Yes, why…?" She replied curiously.
"Did you have to expose yourself just because you had bandages over you?" He smirked.
"Huh…?" Kagome didn't understand and looked around the room; she found her robe on the ground and completely blushed. "Oh god, how embarrassing, no wonder why I felt that some of them were eyeing me down." She buried her face in his haori in embarrassment.
"They wouldn't do that with me there." He chuckled. "Here, wear this." He pulled off his red haori and put it on her.
"Okay." She said sweetly and put it on correctly. "The female Inuyasha has returned, roar." She said softly and leaned against his chest softly.
"You idiot…" Inuyasha chuckled a little more and placed her in his lap then his chin on her head. They instantly went to a peaceful sleep for the first time in four or five days, together.
I just thought of a strange fanfic. Has anyone ever heard of Kagome into a dog? (Not hanyou/youkai) Lol, I could imagine making one.
Naraku attacks her with poison and she turns into a dog. Shippo find her lying near the well and starts to play with her; thinking she's a normal dog. Then he brings her to the hut Inuyasha eyes at her and doesn't like her because she was a 'dog' and getting the attention, but he doesn't know she's Kagome till he goes to her era to get her after three days. The figures out somehow that the dog IS Kagome. Shoot; if I did that, there would be a lot of Shippo and Kagome moments fooling around. Some Inuyasha and Kagome time too. OH! That would be soo hilarious if it was during mating season too and Inuyasha was getting attracted to her! -cracks up laughing- Wow, imagine the look on Kouga! Then Kikyou! Hahaha!I wonder if Shippo will treat her like a dog. What ifKagome chases Kirara! What if Inuyasha makes her play fetch! HAha... nooooo! This sound like a good story! What if Miroku gives her dog food! Would Sango have her around the hot spring as a body gaurd?
This sound so fun to write! -whines-
