Chapter 59: Castles In The Air

They went to Kaede's hut. Kagome walked in first. They were all asleep, it was only just past 2. She bonked Miroku on the head and shook the others awake.

"Oh, hello Hitomi." Yumi said.

"Where's Myouga? We need him now. And I mean now."

"Last I saw him, I think he was on Shippo or Kirara."

"Myouga? Where are you?!"

She waited a minute and the flea jumped onto her shoulder. "This will take a minute Myouga, we need answers now."

She walked outside and sat down with her father and Inuyasha outside the hut.

"Lord Inu Heki, long time no see."

"I haven't gone by Lord in 200 years Myouga. It feels good to be addressed that way again."

"What is your problem Lady Hitomi?"

"Look, I had a vision from my future. It was about 25 to 50 years from the year 1996. I heard Inuyasha mumble something and I think it was that I don't have much time. That means I'll die. If I'm soul bonded to Inuyasha as well as my father can't I still be saved."

"Of course."

"What if it is like heart problems maybe."

"Yes, you will still be safe. If you die, you will automatically be revived because you will live as long as them."

"Are you sure? I don't want to die in 50 years and not know why."

"Yes, there is no way the blood bond can be broken or removed. Only by the Shikon no Tama maybe, you can wish it never happened, but that is impossible now. The jewel no longer exists."

"Of course Mr. Obvious." Inuyasha said.

"Sit." He plumited to the ground, he groaned as he got back up. "Thank you for that comment, not. Are you absolutely sure Myouga? I'm not getting my power back to just die and leave Inuyasha to raise two kids on his own for the next 200 years or more. I'll do anything, if there is anything wrong with me to stop it. I've changed history once, I will do it again if I have to."

He jumped onto her and sucked a bit of blood from her.

"You do taste more like your father now, as well as Lord Inuyasha. I do sense a bit of a heart problem, but that should be no problem for the blood bond to fix."

"Ok, I'm trusting you."

They got up. "Thank you Myouga. Thank you."

"Your welcome Lady Hitomi."

He bowed and they walked back.

"At least I hope I'm safe."

"You are. I promise. Your father, your mother, me, and Miroku all have a part of your soul. You can't die with that many people making you hold on. If you do die, it will only be for a second. Your soul will be trapped in your body. You won't be able to move on."

She nodded and opened the well. They jumped through. "And I promise you, we will get our power back too. We'll live like in the Feudal Era again."

She smiled and looked up at the sky. 'Save me from all the trouble and the pain. I know I'm weak, but how can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning. In the hills, away from city strife. I'm city born, but I love the country life. I'm tired of castles in the air they just lead me to despair. I love him more than anything. I want to remain with him forever. He's mine.'

Her father smiled when he heard this. It was music to his ears, knowing how much his daughter loved Inuyasha. 'She would never betray him. Words can never explain a love so strong. She understands what it means. As the music plays, she lives it out as it comes. She's not weak nor plain. They have a dream, the paradise they lived once will become one again. There are many reasons why she won't leave. Anyone can tell her that.'

Kagome gasped at hearing her father continue the little thought. She smiled. 'I won't say my last goodbye. I'll live with him until I die. I can face him again and again, but I don't ask him why, it's a dream come true. Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky. Castle walls just lead me to despair. I don't need a second chance.'

She looked at he father and they smiled at each other. She walked up and hugged him tightly. "Thank you father. Thank you for everything. I don't know what I would do without you here." He rocked her easy as tears welled up in her eyes. She sobbed some into his chest, his haori. He wore it on occasions. 'If anyone asks you why, you can tell that she's got a dream, She wants the world to share. Castle walls just lead to despair. How can words express the feel of sunlight? She's city born, but loves the country life. She's not weak nor plain. There are many reasons why she won't leave. There is so much trouble and pain, but she doesn't understand…' "You just need to believe darling." 'Believe, and all you have will be true. Death cannot separate you. No matter what. You will meet again. The trouble and the pain, comes and goes. It will be gone after death. Once you understand life.'

She smiled. "I understand now." She said. "I love you dad. Thank you."

She hugged him even tighter. He picked her up like a child and she sat her head on the crook of his neck as she hugged him. He sat her down after a while and smiled at her.

"I will defiantly help get our power back, but we need a plan and the right time. When the Diet is vulnerable."

She nodded.

"Yes. I'll keep an eye open to see if anything comes up."

"I'll try as well. I hope something comes up soon, because I feel like we need our power back. It should never have been taken away."

"Yea, they will pay for taking the youkai Lords' power."

"Yea, no powers should have been taken from my parents! You had a right to rule the Western Lands! We're were royalty! I will help destroy the Diet. I want to get our power back. We all deserve it."

Kagome chuckled. "I don't know about you though father. Last time was a mess, as soon as you met me."

"It started way before then darling. Inu no Tashio helped me some, but after he died, I mostly on my own. Sesshoumaru did help when it threatened my life enough."

"Wow, that's different."

"Yea."

She smiled. "This one won't be a castle in the air. I promise you. I know that this will be our perfect chance."

He smiled. "I'm glad you think that way. And I hope this won't become a castle in the air.
