Disclaimer: I do not own the Characters, only this plot line and all its insane little twists.
Chapter one:
In the Feudal Era:
Kikyo woke up asking groggily, "What happened?" as her hand went to her aching head. "Wait… my head is aching?" she thought bewildered before blinking.
Kneeling beside her prone form was Inuyasha and his low timbre asked concerned, "Kikyo? How do you feel?" golden orbs filled with anxiety as he stared at the semi pale woman before him.
Her eyes shot open and landed on the hanyou as she asked confused, "Inuyasha, what is going on?" and tried to sit up.
Inuyasha helped her sit up answering happily, "It worked Kikyo," as he pulled her into his chest holding her tightly and sighed relieved, "Thank Kami."
Completely confused now, Kikyo asked, "Why am I here Inuyasha? Where is Kagome?" pulling back to stare into his eyes.
Inuyasha sighed and lowered his gaze before taking a deep breath and looking into her eyes answering, "I sent her back home Kikyo."
Kikyo's head bowed and he reached a finger under her chin forcing her to meet his eyes.
He said seriously, "I chose you Kikyo."
Kikyo's eyes widened and her breath hitched. She asked, "You what?" staring searchingly into his golden gaze.
Inuyasha allowed his love for her to shine through answering, "I chose to bring you back to life Kikyo- to give us another chance."
Her jaw dropped and she asked, "I thought-"
He shook his head answering, "Lie Kikyo." Explaining, "I do love Kagome, but only like a sister."
Kikyo's heart slammed against her chest and she asked, "Really?" staring up at him.
His firm lips spread into a warm smiled and he answered, "Hai. You're the woman I love Kikyo." Stroking her cheek in a tender caress he added in a certain voice, "You always have been." before leaning down to capture her lips in a gentle kiss.
Shocked at first when his firm lips coaxed her mouth open, Kikyo quickly closed her eyes and kissed him back. Her arms went around his neck and he slanted his head deepening the kiss.
Kikyo gave herself up to the kiss enjoying the fact that she could feel again.
Hearing her moan Inuyasha pulled back smirking before saying, "Aishiteru Kikyo." and placing her head on his chest.
A smile graced her lips as she whispered, "Aishiteru Inuyasha." Her heart was overjoyed that she would finally get to live with the hanyou who had long ago stolen her heart. For a silent moment Kikyo clung to him just enjoying the warmth of his embrace.
Inuyasha knelt there holding her and sighed contently. "We finally have a chance at the love and life we were robbed of so many years ago." He thought excitedly. Inuyasha's mind replayed the last few minutes before Kagome was whisked away from his world.
Flashback:
Inuyasha knelt on the ground holding the completed shikon no tama in his hands and closed his eyes. Taking a deep breath he wished for what was deep in his heart. "I wish for Kikyo to be given back the life stolen from her so many years ago and for Kagome to be returned to her world, where she will remain safe and someday find the happiness that she deserves."
His golden eyes opened and stared up into the sad face of Kagome. Seeing the sadness deep in her eyes his heart clenched and he explained, "I'm sorry Kagome, but I only love you like a sister. Kikyo is the woman who will forever hold my heart." pleading with his eyes for her to understand.
Kagome had always known deep down that he would never forget Kikyo. She had hoped he would grow to love her the same way she did him, but she realized in that moment that she had only been fooling herself. The yearning look he bestowed on Kikyo and the devotion she saw in his eyes told her that she had never stood a chance at winning his heart.
Feeling her own heart shatter Kagome stared into his eyes as her own became blurry from the tears. As the jewel began to shine her eyes widened and she said softly, "Farewell Inuyasha, be happy." wanting him to know that she understood.
He whispered, "Hai Kagome and thank you." A smile graced his face as he watched the light engulf her. He whispered, "You too Kagome." The light spread to surround Kikyo and Inuyasha anxiously waited to see if his wish would indeed be granted.
Kagome's vision blurred from the tears and a solitary crystal drop rolled down her cheek before she suddenly felt everything go black.
End Flashback:
Sango walked over asking, "What about Kagome Inuyasha?" staring at her hanyou friend waiting for an explanation.
Inuyasha stared at his friends explaining, "Kagome has been returned to her world."
Sango's eyes widened and Miroku said knowingly, "So, you have chosen lady Kikyo then?" staring into the eyes of his long time friend.
Inuyasha answered, "Hai, I have chosen Kikyo and sent Kagome back to her time." never dropping his gaze. Sango's jaw clenched as she sighed sadly.
Shippo wailed, "I'll never see her again! Kagome come back." and sat down on the ground crying his little heart out.
Inuyasha sighed, "She'll be happier and safer there Shippo." as he knelt before the tyke.
Shippo pushed him away yelling, "No, stay away from me Inuyasha!" and ran into the woods crying.
Inuyasha's ears flattened to his head and Sango said softly, "I'll go talk to him." as she followed the crying demon child.
Kikyo lowered her eyes to the ground thinking, "His friends will never accept me." a little sadly.
Seeing the sadness of her posture, Miroku said softly, "Give them time lady Kikyo. I'm sure they will come around eventually." Before walking over to Inuyasha adding, "You know they will." He placed a hand on his friend's shoulder saying in a comforting voice, "You did the right thing Inuyasha."
Inuyasha's breath hitched as he looked up and met the smiling face of his friend. They exchanged a look man to man and Inuyasha smiled saying, "Thank you, Miroku."
Miroku nodded and walked off into woods after his fiancée and the kit.
Inuyasha wrapped a well muscled arm around Kikyo's waist and pulled her close saying, "Let's go home."
Kikyo smiled at him and said, "Hai Koibito." and wrapped an arm around his waist as they walked toward the beginning of their life together.
Minutes later:
Over by the well appeared a female ghost with long straight black hair that reached to her waist, as well as deep brown eyes. She wore a white haori under some grey armor and a long flowing dark pink skirt that reached to her feet, upon her forehead laid a star.
She bowed her head whispering, "Very well hanyou. Now you and the rest must live with your decision." She raised her pale arms into the air and began weaving them in an ancient pattern, while chanting in an ancient tongue no longer recognized in this world.
Her hands began glowing and thread like patterns of light flowed from her hands to cover the bone eater's well. Her eyes rolled back into her head and her musical chant increased. The threads of pink energy reached a blinding strength and they constricted around the well shattering it into splinters.
Sango heard the explosion and saw the light before racing toward the well with fear in her heart. By the time she and Shippo arrived, the well lay splintered and the ghost had disappeared.
Sango fell to her knees and tears fell from her face as the kitsune slammed against her chest clinging to her crying his disbelief.
Sango's heart went out to the child and she said softly, "Don't worry Shippo, you can come live with us." as her tears fell onto his red hair.
Miroku reached his sobbing fiancée and his eyes widened at the sight of the broken well. Sighing he knelt beside the weeping woman and pulled her into his arms soothing, "It's okay Sango, at least we know she returned to the safety of her own time."
Sango continued crying a few minutes before sniffing and saying softly, "Hai Miroku, you're right." and stood up with the sniffing fox kit in her arms.
Miroku helped her to her feet and said, "Let's go home Sango." eager to begin their life together.
Sango nodded vowing, "We will raise Shippo for you Kagome."
Miroku nodded his agreement and they walked towards Sango's village.
Inside Mount Hakurei:
Midoriko sighed and said, "Well young one, it's time for you to return to your time and begin your real life as well." as she carefully collected the bones of the fallen warrior and began chanting.
Light filled the cave and the bones that had been placed on the ground, began to shake and rattle above the ground. Her chanting increased and the bones glowed like pure light as they lowered to the dirt floor of the cavern. Slowly flesh began to take form reforming the muscular system of the once mighty warrior.
Midoriko patiently continued chanting as the light remained near blinding and the body slowly took the form of the former leader of the Schichinatai once more. After hours of slowly taking shape, she stared down at the completed body of the young man from the future and said, "Now to send you home too young warrior, back where you belong."
She began chanting in a different tone and a darker pink light, with a surrounding blue hue, enveloped the unconscious body. She lifted her hands in the air as the darker light coated his body and said, "To your own time return mighty warrior and face your real trials."
As soon as she had finished, the body vanished. She whispered fondly, "Be happy in your new lives children." as her great-great granddaughter's face popped into her mind.
