Chapter 7
Ok let's get this show on the road!
"Oh, Inuyasha! You scared me. I didn't think you would be coming by this week." A female demon rises from the desk at which she was sitting. She walks over to me and wraps her arms around my neck. She isn't a very young woman, but she doesn't look like she's in her fifties either. "Sit down. Talk to your old mother. How goes the fight with Naraku?" she asks. I'm really in a happy mood right now. "Mom, for the last time. You are not old. Secondly, we finally defeated Naraku and the Shikon jewel is complete." I said this while watching her smile get bigger by the minute. She hugged me again. I smelled the distinct scent of salt. I knew it wasn't coming from the ocean. "Oh mom! Don't cry! You know how that gets to me! I can't stand it! First you, then Kagome." Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned Kagome. She looks up at me. "Kagome? Who is she? What happened to Kikyo?" She is a very persistent person. "Um, mom. You know how I didn't come to see you for fifty years?" I didn't want to bring up a sore subject. "Yes. I do. What does that have to do with this Kagome girl? Is she the reason you didn't come to see your own mother for fifty years?" Inuyasha shook his head quickly. "No! No, it was Kikyo. She pinned me to a fricken tree with a sacred arrow and I was is a bloody coma for fifty years! Kagome was the one who released me from the bond." Inuyasha said. He instantly regretted it. His mother got violent. "Why didn't you tell me?" Inuyasha started running from his mother so that he wouldn't get hit. "I'm...sorry...Mom...I...couldn't...Stop!!!" He yelled as he as a hatchet landed beside his head. "I'm sorry sweetheart. Did you take care of this Kikyo woman.?" Inuyasha lowered his head and nodded. "She's gone mother. Not without some complications." His mother raised an inquisitive eyebrow at him. Inuyasha shook his head. "That's a story for another day, mother. Right now, I need to ask you a question." His mother sat down. "What would you think of me having a human for a mate?"
Kagome sat against the well. She sighed as she looked into the forest. It had been eight days since Inuyasha had left her standing at the Goshinboku tree. She didn't have much time left in the feudal era. Any moment the well could decide to close and take her away from this world that she had started to call home. She didn't want to leave without saying goodbye to Inuyasha. She owed him that at least. Suddenly a flash of red caught her eye in the forest. Kagome started to run towards the god tree. There, at its base, was Inuyasha. She ran over to him and threw her arms around his neck. "Inuyasha!" She squealed as he wrapped his arms around her. She leaned back and looked into his amber eyes angrily, or at least as angry as one can get with the love of their life. "What took you so long?" She said. Inuyasha smiled. "Hey! I made a trip that would usually take a month in eight days. That wasn't long." Kagome gave him a look that made him laugh inside. "I'm sorry. I didn't want to be gone that long. What? Don't tell me you missed me?" He smirked. Kagome leaned against his chest and nodded. Inuyasha rested his head on top of Kagome's. "I missed you too." Kagome looked up to him. "You promised me you'd tell me where you went." Inuyasha sighed. "Well, I had hoped to take you there instead." He smiled and looked down at her. Her chocolate eyes sparkled in the daylight, but then dulled. Inuyasha frowned. "What's wrong?" Kagome turned her head away from him, but he could smell those salty tears starting to well up in her eyes. Kagome looked at him, tears waiting to fall. "I don't know how long I have left here." She buried her face in his shirt, her tears wetting the soft fabric. Inuyasha ran his hand over the back of her head. "I know, I know." He lifted her face to look at him. "That's why I want to ask you this question." Kagome nodded. "Kagome..." He hesitated. "If given the chance, would you spend eternity with me?" He looked into her eyes for some kind of answer. She was quiet. "Kago..." He started to talk but she lowered his head down into a kiss. When she let him go, she looked into his eyes. "Yes, Inuyasha. I would spend eternity with you." Inuyasha smiled and pulled her into another embrace. She faltered for a bit, but then came back strong. He pulled away. "Something is still wrong." Kagome nodded. "I'll never be able to see my family again." Inuyasha shook his head. "Yes you will. I said to spend eternity with me. You'll be able to see your family, but not for about another five hundred years." Kagome's eyes widened. "How in the world do you expect me to live for five hundred years?!" Inuyasha laughed. "Don't worry about that. Come on." Inuyasha lifted her into his arms and ran towards the well. An ethereal blue light surrounded them as they traveled 500 years into the future.
