Kagome, an Inuyokai?

Chapter 10

Oh I am so glad you all like my story... grins evilly god I am having way too much fun with this one, though I had about 8 different ideas rotating around my head. I swear I am cursed with two different muses sometimes...

Kagome ran next to Inuyasha, Setsusaiga had refused to talk to her since she had left the western palace, she had been sad to leave. It hurt her, especially since right now the rest of her pack was there. They had not stopped running since they left the palace.

She easily could keep going but she noticed them coming up on a hut and she hoped it was vacant so they could rest.

Inuyasha stopped in front of it, "we will rest here tonight."

Kagome nodded, "do you wish me to get dinner or will you."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and shrugged and went inside. She sighed, obviously it was up to her to get their dinner.

She quickly set about hunting dinner, she nudged her beast in her mind, may I please have some help?

Her beast growled, it is the male's job to hunt for dinner, but we are better suited to it. We can take the form of a dog about the size of a horse and hunt up a good sized dear.

Kagome nodded, and released her beast, and found herself shifted to her true form but smaller, as her beast had said, about the size of a large horse. Immediately they took off to hunt up dinner.

They returned to the hut with a small doe, she went to the abandoned fire pit she saw next to the hut and using some wood she found nearby, worked at starting a fire. It didn't take long she was glad she had learned how while traveling,

Inuyasha didn't exit the hut until the meat was nearly cooked. He sat on his haunches until it was cooked then took tore of a large chunk.

Kagome pulled off a few strips of meat and nibbled on it, her mind elsewhere.

She watched as Inuyasha stood up after he finished eating and jumped into a tree and went to sleep or at least he pretended to be, he apparently didn't realize she could tell he wasn't asleep. Kagome wonder why. She shrugged, pretending to be disinterested, and went into the hut.

Kagome was not in the hut long when she heard Inuyasha get up trying to be quiet about it, and if she had been human still she would not have heard it. She slipped out of the hut and into the night following Inuyasha, it wasn't hard to do, since the wind was with her.

When he looked behind him she found that she could easily fade into the dark.

Inuyasha simply continued on.

Kagome followed him and soon she smelled a scent which she knew instinctively, it was the scent of a spider hanyou. Only one being still held that scent, and that was Kagura. Why was Inuyasha going to see Kagura, then she realized that she was sensing the final shard of the shikon in front of her as well. Her hands went instinctively to her neck where the nearly complete Shikon no Tama should have been and found it missing.

That's when she realized Inuyasha had it, she suppressed her rage. Kagome knew now she would have to apologize to the guardian of the dagger, well sword now, her hand went to the hilt.

Setsusaiga stirred, I am glad you are finally seeing we were right, now we must get the jewel back as well as find out what Inuyasha is up to.

Kagome nodded, but did not respond, slowly she crept up to the clearing where Inuyasha had stopped, she slid apart some branches and nearly growled. There was Inuyasha on the ground with Kagura with her on all fours, her naked with him nearly so, she wished she could look away as he marked her as his mate as he obviously spent himself inside her. Kagome felt her heart break again but her beast helped her put that feeling to the side. Kagome smirked though it seemed Inuyasha was more human than inu since he didn't even knot inside of Kagura. Kanna and Kohaku were nearby at the other side of the clearing, ignoring the two.

The two parted, and put their clothing on and Inuyasha gestured to Kohaku, who approached obediently. Kagome noticed he was no longer suppressing his memories, the way that he seemed to accept his death said it all. Kagome could not let this go on.

She parted the branches and let her youki and miko energy be known as she took a step forward, a growl rumbling from her throat, which seemed to echo through the whole clearing.

Inuyasha jumped like he had been bitten then smirked evilly, "Bitch go back to the hut and wait for me to return."

"How dare you Inuyasha, hand over the jewel," she demanded, "and step away from Kohaku."

He smirked, "So the bitch gets a spine, and by the way, you have no more power over me. I found a miko who broke the spell these beads had over me." Inuyasha made his point by removing them and flinging them at her feet.

Kagome flexed her claws, and suddenly Inuyasha found himself with his back against a tree and claws cutting into his throat, cutting off his air, she snatched the shikon from his grasp and then heard, "dance of blades" at her back, she did not manage to fully dodge it as it caught her left side. Kagome growled at Kagura, "You can have him wind witch, I could care less. However I will be taking the shikon and Kohaku with me," she looked at Kohaku, "come with me Kohaku."

He nodded, it really didn't matter to him, though he could at least maybe redeem himself before he died.

She wrapped her mokomoko around the boy and pulled him closer, before forming a youki cloud under her feet and flying away.

Kagome vaguely heard Kagura and Inuyasha yelling at each other and her as she flew. She held up the incomplete jewel, with a sigh, and flew in the direction of the western palace, though not fully realizing that with how much blood she was losing, even she would have problems.

Sesshomaru was in the garden with Rin and Shippou, who were doing their best to distract themselves from the loss of Kagome, when a guard ran out to the garden, "My lord the tower guard just saw a youki cloud with someone on it go down, they seemed to be on their way here."

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes, "I will investigate this myself, watch the children until someone else comes to take care of them." He then took off into the air in the direction the guard had told him.

As he approached the area he scented Kagome and she was bleeding bad. Sesshomaru sped up and found her in the arms of a young demonslayer, a bunch of sever wounds on her left side that were partially healed, but she was still breathing.

The boy looked up at him, and he quickly went to his knees, removed the clothing from around the wounds and started to lick them. Kohaku watched him, she had saved him even when he had given up hope.

Under Sesshomaru's care the wounds healed, and when they were closed he stood up and picked her up as well, when he did he noticed the shikon no tama on the ground, "Kohaku pick up the jewel and stay next to me.

Kohaku nodded and did as told.

Sesshomaru formed his youki cloud under them and took off back to the palace.

When they arrived he sighed, "Until she is well again, I need you to hold on to it."

With that he went in ignoring everyone's questions as he went and took her to the room next to his the one which would have been reserved for his mate. He put her on the bed, and quickly stripped her to make sure there were no further injuries. His beast was very satisfied, she had not mated the hanyou.

He then got a robe out of the closet and wrapped her in it then pulled her mokomoko around her.

Sesshomaru then sat there, and watched her sleep, wondering what had happened.

There was a knock on the door, and when it opened he glared only to catch sight of Sakura, "My lord I followed them, originally I wished to see if I could help her, but she was took care of herself. I was not fast enough when she took off on her youki cloud. Otherwise I would have already helped her."

Sesshomaru nodded, "what happened?"

"She witnessed Inuyasha mate the wind witch and he was about to kill Kohaku by removing the shard when, Kagome had decided she had enough. Inuyasha had also stolen the Shikon, she was more worried about getting it and the boy away from them then her own health."

Sesshomaru sighed, "I see."

Kagome groaned, opening her eyes slowly and the first thing she saw was Sesshomaru's golden eyes. She smiled, "Thank you for saving me."

Sesshomaru nodded, "it is no problem, I am sorry he betrayed you."

Kagome sighed, "I should have listened to my beast and Setsusaiga. They had been against him since this all began."

"It is not your fault, he was your first love, how were you to know he would betray you for another," he responded.

Kagome smiled, "Thank you for that, I know Kohaku is still here and he has all of the shards plus his own, can you ask him to come here."

Sesshomaru nodded, and motioned to Sakura to go get the boy, it didn't take her long since he was just down the hall.

Kagome sat up and smiled at him, "Come here Kohaku, I need to remove the shard and yes I will be able to remove it without taking your life with it."

Kohaku approached cautiously when he reached the edge of the bed Kagome pulled him into a hug, and while he was distracted she put a surge of miko energy around the shard and painlessly removed it.

When she pulled back from the hug she was holding the shard that had once held his life. He stared at it in wonder. Kagome smiled, and he handed over the rest of the jewel, she melded the jewel together.

In her mind, Setsusaiga perked up, the only correct with is a wish that you would truly gain nothing from.

Kagome thought for a second, just wish for it to disappear?

Setsusaiga nodded, though I would recommend you putting forever at the end of that.

Kagome looked to Sesshomaru and smiled, she did not need a wish to know she was loved, she had friends and family, she held the jewel in one hand and reached out to Sesshomaru, and he took her hand, "I wish the Shikon no Tama would disappear forever."

Suddenly there was a bright light and it had vanished, Kagome breathed a sigh of relief as she gripped Sesshomaru's hand tighter, "It is over."

Sesshomaru smiled at her. Sakura looked at both of them and grabbed Kohaku's hand and guided him out of the room so the two could be alone.

"My lady, would it please you for this Sesshomaru to continue courting you," Sesshomaru asked.

Kagome nodded, and moved her other hand to his face and brought his head closer to her and she kissed him.
