Looking To Another Side Of Ones Mate In the Valley Of

Memories , Within The Graveyard Of Dreams

By Inuyashas Youkai

Although when the young Inuyasha came to sniff the visitors scent , he instinctually ran faster knowing that she finally had come to see him, and proven when he eventually came to stand in front of her sitting with his mother as well as his father , as the name fell from his lips..

" Kagome..."

"Inuyasha?"Kagome asked faintly , looking to the ground in a sigh once her eyes laid upon him , until she felt something rush against her gently , wrapping his small hands around her..

"You came , Mommy told me that you'd come to see me , and I waited ! Now your finally here ! What took you so long anyways !"A childlike Inuyasha said thrilled that the one he had waited for , for so long had finally came to see him.

" Its okay , I am here now.. I am sorry to keep you waiting , there were things that needed my attention before I was allowed to come .."Kagome said quietly , as she then noticed his parents walking away , giving them privacy , but before they walked away completely his mother parted with these words ..

"Now we will be right here , over where Shippo and Rin are playing if you need us , but be nice to her Inuyasha , she is having a tough time dealing with things the way they are .."

"Silly mommy , why would I be anything else to my life mate who I been siting here waiting forever, it seems for her to come visit me , that would be stupid , and non productive now wouldn't it !" Inuyasha claimed while moving his hands expressively to make his point known .

"Yes , we know but Kagome does not , because she has seen a side of you that hates her only because you were forced to do so .."

"What! How ? I could never hate her , Why would someone be so mean !"

"Right now we don't know , but someone has , and without us she's alone, because the one who has , had made you leave without her later in life , but don't worry Sesshomaru is working on your return.."

" I'll never leave you , Kagome.. I love you.." Young Inuyasha offered while tightening the hug that he had her in ..

"Well thank you , aren't you sweet .." Kagome said squeezing gently back ruffling his silver locks , and accidentally running her fingers across one of his ears, causing a rumbling within his chest , heard suddenly by her ears then stopped.

"Sorry , I know that you don't like me touching your ears .. I didn't mean too .."

"What are you talking about Kagome , I like when you touch my ears will you play with them please? I don't know why you stopped , you did nothing wrong .." young Inu spoke softly ..

Rubbing once again more confidently , Kagome said hesitantly , "But I thought you didn't like-"

"How could I not , where in the hell did you - . Wait I gave you that impression didn't I ?" Inuyasha said why raising his head in confusion as he came face to face with his future mate , looking deep within her brown eyes.

"Yes , but don't -"

"I will worry about it if it made you feel bad , and I am sorry that I made you get that impression, but its not so .. I love it when you rub , and play with my ears .. It makes me feel complete , along with your comforting scent , because you love them, and it shows the way you do it , not like you are going to hurt them , more so like a gentle caress ..

Giggling , Kagome answered, "Well I am glad that you feel that way .."

" I am glad to only hear you laugh , knowing that you are happy with me .."Inuyasha said lazily , leaning back on her lap so she can reach easier , and continue in her rather delicious treatment of his ears..

"I am happy , thank you .. I was always happy with you , Inuyasha , know that I used to be back when you loved me like you do now , and when you were by my side , but even though I am told that I will be again .. I guess I feel otherwise , and then you might soon discover what a truly pathetic copy I really am , then go away to the one claiming your heart originally .. Sorry I shouldn't your only a child , even though you are Inuyasha , but still. It's not you ."

"What the hell ?" Little Inuyasha stated shocked , quickly rising up to look into her eyes , seeing the tears there , wiping them away not liking to see them on her before he spoke again.

"I really hurt you haven't I ? I can feel it , your soul seems shattered , and your bounds to me weak .. Why is that ? Is that what you had to do before you could come to see me ?"

" Sorry Inuyasha , its not your fault , really ... Don't worry about it , okay ?"Kagome offered to comfort him , reaching to grasp his ear to rub them , but the hanyou child grasp hers in his little one's holding them tightly then whispered..

"No , Kagome .. Listen to me I don't know what happened for you to appear to me like this now , nor do I know what caused this but know that I could not intentionally leave my mate for anyone or for any reason , unless it was forced . I could never hate you , or the pups you now carry . I will worry about it because as your mate at any age its my job to care for you no matter what stupidity I lead you too believe .. I want you, and you alone ..Okay ?"The child Inuyasha told her while smiling ..

Smiling back down at him , Kagome gave .." Okay , I'll try .."

' If you can hear me , you need to hurry , and return home ..Our mate needs us , and I don't know for how long mate can be in this state ..My guess is not to much longer before she breaks indefinitely ..' Little Inu thought within his mind his eyes closed , hoping beyond hope that his older self would be able to hear him..

Although something came to him , as he noticed the same look that was shared on his mate's , was also upon his brother ,as Sesshomaru watch on his intended Rin .Looking back upon his own mate , the young Inu child finally caught on as to why this was so , and it was because of supposedly something that he was forced to do that also made his brother take on in his place , until he , himself was able to return , obvious to the ,mark laid over his to present the unraveling of Kagome's soul, preventing his brother to act upon his own intent with his own mate..

' Shit ! What is it that I have done ! They'll both die if this keeps up much longer dammit !' Young Inuyasha frantically thought , running his hands through his hair , until his frightening musings were destroyed when a sudden thud hit the ground ,as Kagome fell losing consciousness..

"Kagome !" The child cried running as fast as his legs would carry him , until he was sitting next to her , hearing the whisper falling from your lips as she feel deeper into the coming dark .

"And I love you Inuyasha , always have .. Know that I don't blame you for any of it mate .."

"Mommy ! Daddy ! Please help me ! Kagome , please just hold on for me !Don't go !" little Inuyasha cried..

"Don't worry , lil brother ..It's not your fault "Sesshomeru came from the trees above him landing before him , as his parents came near when he picked her up ..

"Oh dear , will she be alright!" Izayoi asked concerned

"Sit down , Inuyasha .." Sesshomaru told as he settled the unmoving hanyouess miko upon the child's lap , seeing as his brother cuddled her against him , whining for he was very afraid for his future mate, then the oldest turned to answer his parents .

"To be honest , I don't know ..This wasn't something that was expected , but should've been . When I stepped in for my brother as her mate , I did not know that her soul was so shattered until she was placed her , my guess is that she hid it to not appear weak, as she was to my future self. My Jyaki is working to fix it , but her soul is unraveling faster than it can completely repair it ..Hopefully I can get Inuyasha to snap out it before it's to late , so he could reclaim her , and repair the damage..
