Chapter 4:
The Unthinkable
Previously:
"Kouga really is the one that loved me. Why didn't I just stay with him when I had the chance. After all the times InuYasha got jealous because I was with Kouga, you would think he'll think about how I feel when he's with Kikyou." Kagome sighed.
She curved up into a little ball and closed her eyes. "Its all a matter of time." Kagome whispered before going into a deep sleep.
Present:
Kagome awoken much later then she wanted too. Today was the day she was finally going to tell everyone what had happened because she assumed nobody knew the real reason why she left. She laid there for a couple minutes then realizing she was going to finally see Sango and Mirkou, she couldn't stand the wait. She jumped a couple of feet off the ground in excitement. She couldn't contain the joy that shot through her body, feeling so good it sent a shiver from the top of her head to the soles of her feet.
She was the only one left in the cave wondering she walked outside too see if she could spot Shippou or Kouga. "What the hell did they go?" Kagome said looking around for quite sometime. Getting aggravated she went back into the cave and sat on Kouga's supposedly made bed for her. She laughed at the thought of it. "Least he tried." She laid back looking up at the rock ceiling.
"Hey there, Kagome! How did you sleep?" Kouga asked holding a dead boar pig on his back and some rice balls in a sack.
"I slept pretty good."
"Are you hungry?"
"Unbelievably hungry." Kagome said as she rubbed her stomach then too hear it rumble loudly. She chuckled an uneasy laugh.
"When's the last time you ate?"
"I don't know I think it was when I left the um..." Kagome trailed off then closing her lips.
Kouga looking at her strange with his eyebrows furrowed. "Left from where Kagome?"
Kagome just sat there staring at him blankly. "I will eventually explain later."
Kouga still giving her a strange look. Kagome turned her face away from Kouga's look and letting a little giggle.
"Kouga, where's Shippou?"
"Um, I don't know where he ran off too." Kouga said sitting down the lifeless pig. "He was still here when I left earlier."
"I see. He was always quite the little adventurer, he hasn't changed. Well on the outside, but not the inside." Kagome said holding her hand over heart. "Ugh, even though I hate coming back here, I did it miss a lot."
"You changed a lot too, Kagome. Kouga stated squatting down next to Kagome. "Both on the inside and the outside."
"Yeah, I know. But it was worth it Kouga." Kagome replied closing her eyes. "It was a change that was most definitely needed."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well at first I was weak and useless, it was time for change." Kagome said with her head hung down. "I told myself that I will become strong and will no longer need help from others. I decided I will fend for myself. Yes, there are some weak humans but as far I go I will not be put into that kind of category."
Kouga looked at her with soft eyes. He grabbed her and hugged her tightly. "Its okay, Kagome. You don't have to prove anything to anyone. As far as I was concerned, you were strong and I liked that about you. You never gave up on what you believed in and thats what made you strong and in fact you weren't useless out of all the times I seen you with the others, everybody needed you."
Kagome gently pushed Kouga away. "Such inspiring words Kouga, but what's done is done and too be honest I love being this way." Kagome placed her face in Kouga's chest, resting her forehead on shoulder.
"Oh Kagome." Kouga whispered softly.
"Um, Do I need to leave you two alone?" Shippou said standing there in the entrance to the cave.
"No, no that's okay." Kagome turned around facing Shippou flushing a bright red.
"We just had a moment that's all." Kouga stated as he stood up.
Kouga's words make Kagome turn even redder.
"So anyways, Kagome I'm guessing after your done eating we will head down to Sango and Mirkou?"
"Of course." She squealed nodding in agreement.
Shippou turned to leave before Kouga interrupted him. "Hey Shippou, where you going?"
"Ill be back."
"You know what, Shippou?"
"What Kouga?"
"You been acting real weird lately. Why?"
"I don't know what your talking about, Kouga." And with that Shippou left.
-The forest-
"Ugh, the nerve of that Kouga." Shippou said in frustration walking in the forest. "I haven't been acting wierd at all."
"Hey Shippou!"
Shippou turned too look at a young maiden.
"Hey there, Miyu." Shippou replied as she came running up to him.
"I missed you much, Shippou."
"I was only gone for a couple mintues." Shippou laughed.
"Well, being without you is unbearable." She smiled.
Shippou wrapped his arms around Miyu waist kissing her gently, but passionately.
Miyu was a human girl in a nearby village. She had big gray eyes that always had a sparkle in them, cream pale skin and long golden brown ebony locks. All the men her village wanted her she was one of the prettiest, but also they wanted her because she was the daughter of the lord of the castle. Having noble blood was all they needed and wanted.
"Ugh, Miyu I love you so much and it upsets me that we have to hide our love."
"That will be all over soon."
"What do you mean?"
"I will tell my father that I have fallen in love regardless if your a human or a demon."
Shippou raised an brow. "And when do you plan on telling him that?"
"I was kind of thinking later on today." Miyu replied saying her words slowly.
"That's fine." He said crossing his arms and shutting his eyes. "How about we do it now?"
"No, I want to do it after supper and I want you to be there."
"What if he banishes you?"
"That's okay. I don't care about my royalty I rather be a mere servant to be with the one I love than be that of noble blood and force to marry someone I do not wish to be to be with."
Shippou kissed her one more time. "Well, I'll be in the village after supper and I'll make sure to make a grand entrance."
"Oh Shippou." Miyu said giggling.
"I have to go."
"Why?"
"My mother is home." He let go of Miyu's hand. "Let's just say were having a big family reunion."
"When can I meet her?"
"Soon, I promise."
"Do you think she will approve of me?"
"Yes, she will I assure you of that."
"Okay well, Shippou enjoy yourself." She said giving him a peck on his lips. "I love you."
"I love you too, Miyu. I'll be back soon enough."
"I'll be waiting." After that being said Shippou took off back towards the mountains.
-Meanwhile-
"Kanna, tell me where Kagome is." The voice in the dark shadows asked.
A ghostly like girl showed no expression did as she was told. "Naraku, I cannot see Kagome." She replied showing him the little mirror.
"Damn, where can she be?" Naraku questioned himself.
Kagura standing next too the closed doors listening in. "What can he be planning? How does Naraku know so much about Kagome?"
"What do you want to me do, Naraku?"
"Nothing yet. She will eventually come out of hiding and when she does thats when I'll be ready to take her."
"What the hell?" Kagura thought to herself.
Naraku sensing that Kagura was listening in. "Kanna, find Kagura and bring her back to the castle. I have some words for her."
Kagura knew Naraku had sensed her standing there listening onto the plan he was devising. She quickly walked off until she reached the double doors that led outside the castle. Taking the feather from her hair, making the giant one appear, hastening herself she jumped onto it and flew off. "Ugh, Naraku when will your final days come?"
-Back at the Mountains-
"Damn Kagome, you sure can chow down." Kouga said staring at Kagome thinking next she would probably take his meal next.
Kagome didn't respond she just kept on stuffing her face.
10 mintues passed.
20 mintues passed.
30 mintues
40...
45 mintues
"Your quite the cook, Kouga. Thank you so much." She said as she kissed Kouga's cheek. "I feel so much better now. Now all I need is a hot bath."
"I think Sango has one at the castle."
"Whoa, Shippou where you been?" Kagome asked wiping the corners of her mouth.
"Just take caring of some things. Are you ready to leave Kagome?"
"Yes, I am."
Kagome was the first to make a move. She walked outside the cave stretching her arms and move her head from side to side. "Aw, it feels so good out here."
Kouga and Shippou was crouched over. "Why are you guys doing that?"
"Well don't you need to ride on one of us?"
"Aw, I thought you've adjusted to me being a demon now?"
"We did." Both Shippou and Kouga said in unison.
"Well, I can run just as fast as Kouga can or better yet any demon for that matter." She said with her arms crossed and her eyes closed. "Also, I can fly. So, I don't need any help, but thanks for the offer."
There's was no response from neither Kouga or Shippou. They realized... yeah she was a demon and didn't know why they didn't think about that at first instead of looking dumb in front of Kagome. Then Shippou and Kouga let out nervous laughs.
"Well are we going to stand here all day or get going?" She asked raising her eyebrow in aggravation.
"Oh yeah, sorry Kagome." Shippou replied. "Follow me."
Finding there way through the green, deep, dark, light filtering through the top branches, the smell of the composting leaves, hearing crackling branches as they ran through. Even Shippou and Kouga had great speeds, Kagome seem to catching up without breaking a sweat.
"Only reason I'm behind is because I don't know my way, but if I did I would of been passed yall." She laughed.
"No way Kagome. I'm still the fastest." Kouga said in a cocky way.
"Think so, Kouga?"
"No, Kagome." He replied. "I know I'm the fastest."
"We'll see." Kagome grinned.
"If you guys are done discussing who's faster... were here."
"Whoa, that's their castle." Kagome said shocked standing on the cliff above the castle grounds.
"Yup, all theirs." Shippou replied.
They walked into the entrance of the castle. Everyone greeted Shippou with joyful eyes. "Wow, Shippou they're not running in terror." She said to him as he waved and smiled back.
"They know I won't hurt them." He said navigating his way towards the main building.
"I see."
Kagome was kind of hesitant. She just stared at the big double sliding doors.
"What's wrong, Kagome?" Shippou asked curious.
"Nothing, it just that I don't know if..."
"Am I mistaken or did I hear you ask Kagome a question." A pregnant woman said from behind them.
"You heard right." Shippou turned to the woman.
"She's not here."
"That's where you're wrong, Sango." Kouga added.
"Hmm, Kouga what are you doing here?" She turned to look at him.
Kouga didn't answer.
"Okay. What do you mean I'm wrong?"
"It's okay. You can come out of hiding now." Kagome was hiding behind Shippou and Kouga good thing they were tall and well built.
Kagome peeked around from Kouga's shoulder giving Sango a full view of her. "Hey there."
"KAGOME?" Sango said eyes wide and constantly looking Kagome up and down.
"Yeah, it's me Sango."
"Oh, my Kami." Sango gasped. "Mirkou, get out here right now and see what's become of Kagome!"
"You know, Sango you should really lower your voice." He said standing in the entrance of the main building. "And what do you mean what has become of Lady Kagome? She's..."
"Look!" Sango pointed as she interrupted Mirkou.
Mirkou walked down from the steps, moving closer to Kagome. "Aw Kagome, welcome."
"Thank you, Mirkou."
"Quite the transformation if I do say so myself." He let a little laugh out.
Sango looking at Mirkou in a bizarre way. "Why is he so calm about this?"
"Don't worry, Sango. Your not the only who freaked out when Kagome appeared."
"You did, Shippou?"
"No, Kouga did." He smirked. "I knew it was her."
"Why wouldn't some freak out about that?" Kouga said crossing his arms. "That beautiful Kagome is now a Youkai."
"Shall we go inside and catch up on old times?" Mirkou suggested.
Everybody nodded in agreement.
"I hope you guys are ready from what I'm about to tell you." Kagome thought to herself letting out a heavy sigh.
