Chapter 4: Kohaku's last moments and Kagome's kiss
A/N: hey i want to say thanx again to all my kick a$$ reviewers! you guys rock! umm sorry i havent updated in a while but here you go! enjoy and remember, be kind, review! Cookies for all who review (i know bribery...oh well maybe i wont have to bribe when you like my story...)
Sango still hadn't said anything to Kagome in a while. They were still in the hot spring, Kagome was soaked to the bone, and her fingers were wrinkled. To top it off the situational discomfort was too much to bear.
"Im sorry, I shouldn't have asked," Kagome started to say but stopped when Sango abruptly put her hand in the air to stop her.
"It's ok… I feel good about my decision, I freed my baby brother" she said looking up at the trees that were swaying in the gentle breeze. Sango could remember everything, like Kagome it was all fresh in her mind. They had just gotten one of the final pieces of the jewel of four souls and Naraku sent Kohaku to steal it and if he couldn't do that, to kill Kagome. Because Kagura and Kanna broke away from Naraku's control, Kohaku didn't have any truly strong guards. (A/N: I might write a fic about Kagura and Kanna braking away from Naraku with Inuyasha and Kogome's help!) Sango knew she would have to kill him eventually… she just hoped that the time would never come, although she knew it was inevitable.
They had him on the run. She brought Miroku and Kirara with her for back up, even though she herself would be the one to kill her only brother. What Miroku and Kirara didn't know is that she planned to kill herself immediately afterwards.
They had him cornered, there where tears falling down Sango's cheeks as she started to fight him. In an action of confusion and desperation, Kohaku went after Miroku, putting his weapon to Miroku's throat. Sango didn't want Miroku to die. He may be a lecherous fool, but she has feelings for him and she didn't want to see him dead. She reacted protectively and threw her sword, stabbing her brother in the heart, attaching him to the tree behind them. Kohaku's last words were sister and then he was completely at peace. Sango was hysterical; she didn't want it to end like that. Miroku stopped her from killing herself with a hug, and he showed her his feelings and gratitude by not touching her like he normally did, this time it was pure heart that drove him.
Sango was still looking at the trees overhead when Kagome got out of the water after cleaning her hair and body. She put on her clothes and waited for Sango. After she dressed they went to check on the boys. Before Sango went into Kiede's house she pulled Kagome to the side.
"I really hope you can find happiness kogome, but all I know is Inuyasha is in his best condition when you are with him, and you keep us all together, you are a part of our family…" Sango walked into the house and Kagome started walking to the dry well. Sango walked through the door covering and saw Inuyasha lying on the floor nervously tapping, he looked up at her with excitement and when he noticed it was her he calmed back down, obviously he wanted Kagome to spend time with him. Miroku was sitting up against the wall on the other side of the house. Sango sat next to him; he was staring at his hand, the one that was plagued with the wind tunnel. "Its gone, it's gone for real." Miroku said wide eyed, his eyes sparkled. Sango looked at it with a smile on her face. The first time that Miroku's wind tunnel had dissipated was when Naraku faked his own death. "My father would be proud of me" Miroku said as he opened and closed his hand. "Well, I am very proud of you" Sango said as she rested her head on his shoulder. Miroku looked down at her and blushed. In the middle of the house, Kiede was busily poking at the small fire she started to warm the small home that all of them came to love, and use often.
Outside, Kagome sat on the side of the well and looked up at the pretty peaceful blue sky. She felt bad; she asked Sango that horrible question and still she hadn't decided what she would do. She was thinking of ways to go home and come back. I could split the jewel in half and give one half to Kiede…no, that wouldn't work…wait if the jewel came from inside my body in the first place, than couldn't it just go back in? She held the jewel up to her face. "Ugh…but what if I turned into a monster or something!" she placed the jewel back around her neck. She turned her head fast when she heard something coming fast through the forest.
"Ahh!" Kagome's screams were heard all the way back at Kiede's house.
"Kagome" Inuyasha's ears twitched and he got up and ran out the door, running to her. Sango and Miroku stayed behind, they figured Inuyasha could handle it by himself; he was the strongest of them all after all.
When Inuyasha finally reached to the area where he heard the scream he was infuriated, it was Kouga. Kagome was still sitting on the edge of the well but this time Kouga was sitting next to her, with a bag full of gifts. Kagome's eyes grew wider with every gift he pulled out for her. The gifts were mostly jewelry, he knew she liked it and he used it to his advantage. He probably stole those… Inuyasha thought to himself, he found himself just watching on as they talked.
"I heard ya wasted Naraku, good job Kagome, I knew you would do it!" Kouga looked at her.
"Actually Kouga it was Inuyasha, who destroyed Naraku not me." She said honestly.
"Who, that stupid mutt? Whatever"
"Mutt! Who's he callen a mutt!" Inuyasha growled.
"Kagome, since you're my woman I don't want you hangin around with that stupid hanyou anymore. Kouga grabbed her hand.
"Since you put Shippo in my care you should become his mother figure, he already looks upon me as a father figure…" he looks into her eyes.
She couldn't think of anything to say.
"I don't want that stupid half breed to mark you his own, I want you for myself." He kissed her, at first pressing softly on her lips with his; she could feel his tongue trying to gain access to her mouth. As her eyes closed she let him in, though through the whole kiss she imagined her hanyou love.
While this was going on Inuyasha was facing the other direction, obviously his attention had been averted some how, he looked back and his jaw dropped.
"What the hell is he doing?" Inuyasha yelled
Inuyasha ran to them and punched Kouga, making him fall off the well and release Kagome. Kagome fell of the well and landed on he knees to the side.
"Inuyasha, I…" she began to explain looking up at him. She felt like a whore, here she is telling him she loves him all the time and he catches her with Kouga, how perfect!
"There is no need for you to explain Kagome, I know it wasn't your idea!" he was right it wasn't her idea, but she went along with it and she still felt bad.
"Ah, well if it isn't the little hanyou, nice to see ya mutt face." Kouga said as he picks himself up from the ground and stood next to Kagome.
"She's mine now Inuyasha why don't you go crawling back to Kikyo…" Kouga held Kagome's arm.
"Get your filthy hands off Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled threatening his youkai rival.
"Go back to Kikyo…" Kouga sneered at him.
"Kikyo is dead" Inuyasha said lightly.
"What, what was that mutt face?" Kouga urged him on.
"KIKYO IS DEAD!" Inuyasha yelled in his face. Kagome flinched and tugged on Kouga's arm.
"Stop it Kouga!" she tried to stop him.
"Oh I get it, now that Kikyo is dead; your want for Kagome's touch is twice as bad!"
Inuyasha lunged at Kouga. Koga's quick reflexes took action and he went to dodge, he knocked into Kagome.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed as she fell into the well, being transferred to her own era.
"You idiot!" Kouga yelled
"Shut up you loud mouth bastard of a wolf!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Stop trying to steal Kagome from me!"
"Im not trying, stupid hanyou! If you didn't see earlier she loves me!" he shoved the make out session in Inuyasha's face as proof. Inuyasha didn't even notice the moon wasn't there, his hair turned black and his demon like features disappeared. "No Kouga, your wrong…" he was human for the night, and he truthfully didn't know how he would get by the night with ought Kagome near.
