Chapter Fifteen:
As the morning sun started to shine in the sky Inuyasha walked with Kaede into the village. They sat and waited for the man from last night to come and find them. Soon people were moving about the village. Inuyasha watched a group of girls giggle as they were walking from shop to shop. "What is going on with those girls?" The girls stopped as the one in the middle was holding something around her neck. She was smiling as she looked at the thing in her hand. "Kaede what is wrong with those girls?" "Who them? Why that young lady she must have been proposed to today." "So why is it around her neck." "That, I see well she must be between many men and the one who asked her is the one she wants to be with. He asked her without asking her father and they are keeping it a secret for now." "So that is why she has it around her neck?" "That would be it Inuyasha. When it becomes okay for everyone to know she will put it on her finger." Inuyasha looked at the girl again she was so happy. "Maybe that is what I need with Kagome?"
Inuyasha was about to walk away when the man came running up. "I am very sorry lady Kaede I had to do some chores before I could leave." "I see well lets get going shall we." The three started to walk towards the little mountains behind the village. "So how so you know all about the rings Kaede?" "Well Inuyasha as I grew I found a little cave with tons of jewels in it. As time went on we found that one way to tell a woman taken was by making a jewel ring and putting it on them. It then started to take off and I made the cave a place I would take young men to pick out a stone." "I see." Inuyasha said as he picked Kaede up and jumped over a group of rocks.
They reached the cave and Kaede went to show the young man around. Inuyasha was looking around and saw all the different stones. There were white, red, green, blue, black, and some stones even looked like they were multicolored. "Kaede how dose this work?" Kaede smiled as she walked over to Inuyasha. See this metal ring you find a stone you think will go nice with it and you melt the ring to the back of the stone." "Oh I see. Then the chains guys can take if the ring needs to stay a secret." "That is right." Kaede then went back to help the young man who was still looking at stones. Inuyasha was walking when he stopped. In a pile of nice looking stones was a stone half blue and half pink. He picked it up and put it up to the light. The light make the two parts join and once that happened it gave off a purple glow. Inuyasha then took a ring and melted them together. Kaede and the young man came up ready to go. As they walked out Inuyasha took a chain. "When the time is right I will find a way to give this to her." Inuyasha started to walk back with Kaede with a smile.

Kagome woke to find that Inuyasha and Kaede were gone. "Where did they go?" Kagome looked around to see that most of her friends were still asleep. Kagome smiled as she slipped on a plain pink kimono and went out into the morning sun. She started to walk towards the river. As she was getting close she felt two hands take hers. When she looked down she saw two smiling faces. "Well good morning." "Morning Lady Kagome." The two girls said smiling. "Can we go with you?" "Oh sure I am just going to the river to soak my feet." The three walked to the river talking about the party last night. "My dad said that they felt the party would make you feel better." "I see. Well maybe it did in a way. I see that at lest you guys like me still." "We will always like you." They reached the river and sat with their feet in water. Kagome was thinking about all the men they meet last night and then a face popped into her head. "That man who said I would be his bride. He looked like he was holding some kind of evil in him. I tired to see but he kept looking away." Kagome looked up into the sky when a body came from behind them. Kagome felt a chill as the man from last night walked up and sat down next to her. "I thought I would find you here. I went to your hut but you were gone." "I see so you're stocking me now?" "Oh no. Kagome I would never do that." "May I ask your name?" "I will tell you but I must tell you that my parents felt that my name would break the curse. My name is Naraku." Kagome lost her grip and slipped right into the water. When she came up she looked at the boy. He was named after the monster she was after. "Why would you be named after him?" "He was the lord of my castle when I was born and well you see he told my mother that I was to be named after him. My mother didn't want me to be killed so she did as she was told. Then when I was one he was forced out of my castle by my father." "I see." Kagome got up and started to move towards Naraku. She looked into the boy's eyes. "The hate is still there. Wait why do I feel so faint." Kagome pulled herself out of his eyes. "What's the matter? My eyes too much for you?" "I….I….." Kagome felt as though the boy was trying to get her under some kind of spell. "I must be getting back before the others wake." Kagome took the hands of the two girls and they walked back towards town.
The man named Naraku stood as she walked away. When she was gone he turned to find Kanna. "So you did follow me little girl." "Naraku says you must get her to look deep into your eyes. She must fall in love with you so Inuyasha will leave her." The boy blinked and his eyes turned yellow. "I know how my spells work. I have been doing them long before Naraku become a demon." The demon sat down looking up at the sky. "Why do you need Inuyasha to leave her?" "So Kikyou can kill him. His death will then be on her hands." The demon looked at the girl in white. "I will give him this he is one nasty demon." Kanna smiled as she walked away and disappeared. "I will take Kagome away for Naraku. Then I will make her my true wife forever."

Kagome got back to her hut to find that Inuyasha was still not back with Kaede. "Where have you been?" Kagome looked at Shippo. "I went to the river to soak my feet with some of the kids." "Oh." Shippo then got up and pulled on Kagome's hand. "Come on let's go down and see if there is any more food left from last night." Kagome picked Shippo up. "Are you guys coming?" "Of course we are." Miroku said as she pulled Sango with him. They went down to the town and the people were more than happy to give them food. As they ate Kagome kept looking around to see if she could find a trace of Inuyasha. "Kagome I am sure that Kaede asked him to do something for her." "Yea like going and finding her sister Kikyou." Kagome turned to find Kouga standing there with a large smile. "Morning I thought I would go for a run. Hope I didn't worry you?" "Oh, no Kouga I was sure you had done that." Kagome wasn't even thinking about him till now. Kagome and the others soon got up to find something to do. So they went to the field to work on their skills as fighters. Shippo found some toys to toss into the air for Kagome to hit. Sango worked on tossing her weapon even further. Kagome almost forgot about the wired man till he walked into her shot. "Naraku look out." Kagome ran to pull him out of the way right before her arrow hit him in the arm. She had to push him to the ground. "Why Kagome you saved me." "You could have been hit." That's when the others walked up." "Why did you just call him Naraku?" "Oh, well Sango see his parents named him after Naraku." Sango looked at the man and something about him wasn't sitting with her. Kouga pulled Kagome up and then pushed her behind him. "Are you working with the real Naraku to get to Kagome and hurt her?" "I would never hurt Kagome I think she is the best in the world." Kouga had the same feeling as Sango looking at this man. Naraku got up and walked up to Kagome. "I am so sorry for walking in front of your arrow." Kagome looked at him and then he moved so she was looking into his eyes. She was deep in them and her heart could feel the pull he had. She tried to pull away but he had her. "You will fall in love will me Kagome." Naraku let go and Kagome shook off the feeling she had then she smiled at Naraku. "Would you take a walk with me Kagome?" "Why that sounds really nice." Kagome took his hand and the two started to walk away. "I'll be back guys." "What should we tell Inuyasha?" "Who? Oh that's right tell him I just went for a walk." Then the two were gone.
"Something is very wrong with that guy." Sango said as she picked up Kagome's arrows. "He's a demon." Sango and Miroku spun around and looked at Kouga. "His eyes changed only a little but they changed. He must have her under some kind of love trance." "We need to go stop him." "Wont be that easy. He looks human to everyone here. If we don't watch it Kagome will banish us for him." Sango looked back at the tree she last saw Kagome. "Kagome your heart is with Inuyasha right?" Sango couldn't help but feel the pain of having to tell Inuyasha what happened.

Inuyasha and Kaede walked into the hut to find the little group sitting there waiting. "What's wrong?" Inuyasha knew right away that something was very wrong. "We have a little problem." "What is that Miroku?" "Well Inuyasha you see a demon got past us. He's got Kagome under his spell." "WHAT!" Inuyasha hit the ground he wasn't gone a day and some demon got his hands on Kagome. "So what kind of spell is she on?" "I think he's a demon who makes girl fall in love with him. Once they become his bride he takes their soul." Inuyasha got up. "I have to see this for myself Kouga." Inuyasha walked out the door. The others went with him just in case.

Kagome sat in the moonlight with Naraku. "I think I am falling for you Kagome." "What is going on it feels like I should be in love with someone else." "I know what you mean." "That hurt to say. It's like my heart is being held captive." Naraku put his arm around Kagome's waist and pulled her closer to him. "I will stay here till you fall in love with me and marry me." Kagome giggled then from behind the ground moved. Kagome turned to see a red dot on the ground. "Inuyasha why are you on the ground?" Inuyasha got up and ran to her. He could now smell the demon on the guy. "Kagome what's going on here?" "I…I…I think I'm in love with him." Kagome got up and walked away part of her knew that what she just said was wrong. Once Kagome was gone Inuyasha took hold of the demon. "How dare you do this to her!" "Oh Inuyasha you think if you had her sure you loved her so much I would have such a hold on her?" Inuyasha stopped and Kouga ran up. "Oh same goes for you Kouga." The demon laughed. "She wont even believe you about me being demon. Not while I have hold so I wouldn't try telling her that unless you want to lose her." Naraku then walked away. "Oh and by the way Kouga I am working with the real Naraku!" Then he ran off. Inuyasha sat in the moonlight. Kagome's eyes looked at him as they did when they first meet. She saw the friend but not the love. "I will find a way to show you how much I love you and you love me."

Kagome walked back alone and tears fell from her eyes. "Why am I crying? Its like I should have a reason. My heart wants me to cry but why?" Kagome walked back to the hut to find Naraku. "How'd you get here to so fast?" "Oh I ran and took a short cut. Look I know that you love me." Kagome was pulled close to him and he pulled her face so she was looking into his eyes. "You want to be together right?" "I do." "Then be my wife." Kagome took a step back to think about what he had just said. "Naraku I'm not sure what to say at this?" "Kagome we are two people in this world who have a lot in common. You are looked at as an outcast because of whom you are. I am a outcast by name." Kagome felt her heart jump what was it she was forgetting. "I will." Naraku hugged her as he smiled. "Good. Then we will wed in two days." Naraku then walked into the town to start the plans.
When Inuyasha and the others walked into the hut they found Kaede looking at the ground. "We have a very big problem. Kagome is to be wed in two days." Inuyasha took a step back. "Is it true that her heart is not full of love for me? Could she be taken in by such a demon?" Kouga looked at the woman then punched the wall. "I wont let this happen." "Kouga wait!" Kaede tried to stop him but he was gone. Kouga ran till he found a little hut decorated in white. He walked in to find Kagome sitting there praying. "What are you doing?" "I am getting ready for my wedding." Kouga sat and took her hands. "You have to break from this spell. He's a demon who is after your soul and nothing more." "What, so no real mortal could ever love me? Is that what you are trying to tell me?" Kagome burst into tears. "What? No, but this is not one of them who really is in love with you. He's not like me or even that mutt." Kagome looked up at him just as Naraku walked in. "I told you she was no longer in charge." Kouga turned to see the demon then he felt two hands take hold of him. "Forgive me." Kagome held Kouga allowing her power to send a shock through his body and he fell to the floor. Naraku picked him up and took him away. 0000000000000000000000000000000000000
When Kouga woke he was in a little hut with one window, out side was Naraku holding Kagome's hand. "You sick bastard." Kouga went to kick the door when he saw an arrow in the door and he jumped back. "I see you are smarter than I thought. Kagome has now trapped you here. You will not be able to stop me from marring her." Kagome went limp and Naraku walked away from him. "How are you able to take hold of her?" "Oh that. Kikyou helped." Naraku walked away as Kikyou walked into Kaede's hut.
Inuyasha and the others jumped in as she walked in. "Wait please. I am free of him." Kikyou started to fall so Inuyasha ran and caught her before she hit the ground. "What are you doing here?" "I came to see you." Inuyasha looked at the girl who seemed to keep fighting for him. "Was I wrong? My be it's Kikyou I am to be with. I mean she keeps fighting for me." Kikyou sat with Inuyasha that night talking about how Naraku found a place to hide and then gave his last power to a human to hunt Kagome for him. She had taken the chance to run and found that he was unable to follow. "I know that you saw Kagome as the one for you but would this demon have such a hold over her if she was your true love?" Inuyasha looked away something was off but he wanted to just say that maybe he was wrong. "I'm not sure Kikyou but I have to try and save her." "I know." Kikyou looked away. "You wont be able to save her in time. I was able to give the demon enough memories to push into Kagome to make her heart forget about the love she has for you."
As Kagome sat in her room her she could see the past. "He always ran to her. He always yells at me. He talks about how great Kikyou is, what about me? He says that he loves me but if that was true then I wouldn't love Naraku. If Kikyou was to come to him he'd go to her I know it. Will he ever fight for me?" Kagome looked out the window and that is when she saw Kikyou walking with Inuyasha. "I see then I was right. He may love me but Kikyou he wants to be with." Kagome looked away as a tear fell to the ground. "I will then marry with no regrets."
Inuyasha turned to find that he and Kikyou walked right in front of Kagome's hut talking. He saw that she saw them together. Her face looked hurt and that's when he saw that he was holding Kikyou's hand. "How did we get here I remember we were talking and she asked me to take a walk with her. How did we get here like this?" Kikyou looked and smiled as Kagome looked away. "Looks like she is too far gone to save." "I have to try." Inuyasha ran to the hut and stood in the doorway. "Go away." "Uh.. but Kagome." "You made it clear that Kikyou and you are back together. I don't want to hurt you so please leave." Inuyasha saw that she had her hand on her bow. Inuyasha walked out and ran pasted Kikyou. He ran till he got back to Kaede's.
"What happened?" "I think I lost her?" Inuyasha answered Miroku. Sango then got up and pulled Inuyasha out and to the hilltop. "What is going on?" "We need to talk." Sango and Inuyasha sat under the stairs. "I need to tell you something that I have learned." What is that Sango?" "Sometimes a girl can fight forever for a guy and then one day she just can't do it anymore. Sometimes the guy needs to fight for her." Inuyasha looked as Sango. She was right Kagome spent a good year or so trying to fight for him. Then she just wanted him to once fight for her when she could see it. Inuyasha sat in the moonlight and saw the town getting ready for a wedding that was moved up to the next morning. "I will not let you marry him Kagome."

Kagome was in a long white dress as she was walking down the aisle towards Naraku. She was blank inside. "Come on wake up you don't love him……… but where is he to save you? Maybe you should just marry him?" Kagome walked till she was facing Naraku. He smiled as he took her hand. The priest started to talk.

Inuyasha was at the top of the hill when Sango came back. "We found Kouga." Inuyasha ran after her and Kirara to find him inside a hut. "What happened to you?" "I went to stop Kagome and she attacked me." Inuyasha then saw the arrow in the door. "Kagome is the only one who can take that off." Shippo said. That is when Kikyou walked up. "What are you doing here? You're the one who made it possible for that demon to get his hands on her." "Why Kouga I would never do that. Inuyasha come on lets go before she comes after us." Inuyasha remembered what Sango had told him. "No. I have to fight for her. I always had her fight for me. She would always come to my aid, but where would I be when she needed me. I would be chasing you! No more. I will not follow you!" Inuyasha then ran towards town with the others behind him. Kikyou turned and looked at Kouga. "It won't matter. Kagome is lost to you all. I will have him and I will have my chance to kill her." Kikyou walked to catch up with Inuyasha. Kouga started to kick the hut, as he now knew her plan. She was going to let Inuyasha try and save her, but when Kagome went to kill him she was going to step in. That meant she was going to kill Kagome to make it look like she was saving Inuyasha.

Kagome was about to answer to priest about being Naraku's bride. When the ground shook, the wind picked up and blew the two to the ground. "I wont let you take her!" Kagome got up and looked down to Inuyasha standing there with his sword. "Leave here!" Kagome screamed. "NO!" Inuyasha ran and was now standing in front of Kagome. Her eyes were dark as she looked at him. "Leave before I am forced to hurt you." The town was watching, as the half-demon didn't move. Kagome turned and took hold of an arrow. "I said to leave!" Kagome raised the arrow into the air and Inuyasha pulled her to him. He wrapped his arms around her. Her head was looking into his shoulder. "Do it Kagome! Kill him before he breaks your heart again." Kagome's hand was shaking, as she held onto arrow ready to stab him in the chest. "Kagome I will fight for you." Inuyasha whispered into Kagome's ear. Kagome's eyes shot open as her heart pulsed. She was able to take hold again. "Kagome! Do it!" "No! I wont hurt him!" Kagome dropped the arrow and buried her face into Inuyasha's shoulder. She cried as she was back to being her. "How could this be?" "You worthless demon. A person's heart should never be played with!" Inuyasha turned his head to see that the human Naraku was turning green. His arms were growing as he looked at them. "I will not be denied her soul!" The demon shot his tone through Inuyasha's chest and into Kagome's. "Kagome!" Inuyasha pulled back pulling the tong out of Kagome. He then pulled the tong out of him. "You're done!" Inuyasha pulled tetsusaiga and in one swing he was able to slice the demon in half. That's when Kikyou arrived.
"What? She broke through the spell! Inuyasha was able to help break through the spell." Kikyou looked at Kagome who was hurt but she was now looking at her. "So you were able to find your way back." "Kikyou stop this now!" Kagome ran to Kikyou as Inuyasha was stunned. "Why Kagome dear what are you talking about?" "You're the one who gave him those memories to plant in my heart." "Look you! You may have his heart for now. You may even have him fighting for you, but know this he will never ask you to marry him!" Kagome felt her heart drop a little as she stopped. "I see I hit a sore spot." "Kikyou you don't get it. I love Inuyasha and we may never marry but I will take this time I have with him and appreciate it." Kagome then turned to walk away. Kikyou wanted to grab her but Inuyasha was now in front of her. "This was all because of you! You still are working with him?" Inuyasha felt anger but he just walked away. Kikyou then walked into the woods. "This is not over Kagome. He will walk with me into hell as my husband." Kagome lost it and ran to the river in tears. "Kagome wait!" Kagome stopped to see Inuyasha running to her. "He loves me. I know that so nothing else should matter." Kagome ran to him and held him. "I'm sorry for losing it." "Kagome you have nothing to be sorry for." Inuyasha held Kagome tight as the ring sat in his pocket. This was not the time for she would just think he was doing it because of Kikyou. "Come on we need to go somewhere." 'Where?" "That wolf is waiting for us." Kagome smiled as he took Inuyasha's hand. "He may never marry me but he does love me and that is what really matters. My heart now knows that."
