Chapter 4 is here! Yay. But before we start I just want to say something. I don't want ANYONE to review my story as a flame, ok? If you have an issue with my story, you message me about it. Do not post a review that puts me down or calls me unoriginal. I swear you will regret it. Seriously. I don't put up with shit like that. Reviewing is supposed to be a pat on the back for an author, it should build them up not break them down. Anyway, sorry about my little rant, I just needed to get that off my chest. On with the story :)
Don't own anything!
Koga sprinted through the trees, me on his back, towards the village. I felt a strange sense of Déjà vu, being on his back. It reminded me of riding on Inuyasha's back for so many years. I liked riding on Inuyasha's back a lot more, though. I closed my eyes, and pictured that it was him instead of Koga. I rested my head on his shoulder, and dozed off.
After what felt like a few minutes, but was more than likely a lot longer, I opened my eyes to see that we had reached the village. Keade was outside of her hut, going through a bowl of herbs. Koga stopped outside of her hut and put me down.
"Oh, ye are back I see. Where are the others, Kagome dear?" Keade asked, setting the bowl down beside her. She stood up and walked to my side.
"They're on their way to find the woman who has put Inuyasha under her spell. Koga brought me back so that I could get a bow and some arrows, then rejoin them." I informed her. She nodded her head, then turned and headed into her hut. She returned moments later with a bow and a case of arrows.
"I hope these will serve for the purpose ye need them for." She said, handing them to me. I took them and hugged her.
"Thank you so much Keade. I promise to help you clean up the village as soon as we're back."
"No problem child. Just promise me ye will bring Inuyasha back safe and sound." She said, resting a hand on my shoulder and looking me in the eye. I nodded, unable to speak through the lump in my throat. Shippo landed behind us, letting the children climb off his back. They all headed inside. Shippo lagged behind slightly, and then jumped into my arms, hugging me. I noticed he was crying when he pulled back to look at me. I pulled him back in and squeezed him then set him down. He ran into Keade's hut, only turning around to glance at me one last time. I could see the unspoken request in his eyes. He wanted me to save Inuyasha at all costs. I was already planning on doing that. I waved goodbye, then climbed onto Koga's back. He sniffed around for a moment, then headed off in the direction where he had caught their scent coming from.
Inuyasha sprinted ahead of the others, trying to put as much distance between them as possible. He didn't want them to catch up. He wanted them to stay away so they wouldn't get hurt. Something was wrong with him, and he knew it. He could barely control the urge to kill. It was like a fire burning inside of him. He skidded to a halt, going stiff. He sniffed around, ears twitching all the while. Something was wrong. He could feel the pure evil emitting all around him in the forest. It felt much like it did the first time he had met Kobuya. And just as suddenly as the thought had occurred to him, she had appeared. She was standing on a tree branch, staring down at him.
"I see you have come Inuyasha. I knew you would return. Your wish has come true, so now you must fulfill your end of the agreement." She hopped off of the branch, and landed gracefully on the ground in front of Inuyasha. He stepped back in response.
"What do you want, you nasty old witch?" He snarled at her. She laughed, then stepped closer. He stepped back another step. She was toying with him, and he knew it.
"Exactly what I said before. I want you to fulfill your end of our agreement. You're going to kill for me Inuyasha, and you're going to do it when and where I want it. And after you've destroyed everything else, you're going to destroy everything you love. It's quite simple really." She laughed and smiled as she said it. Inuyasha growled, lunging for her throat.
"I will do no such thing you fucking hag! Leave me and my friends alone! You'll regret it!" He started to turn away, but she caught his shoulder and spun him back around to face her. "Let me go!" He growled out.
"I will do no such thing. You belong to me now. I control everything you do. Everything you say. I know all of it. The miko from the future will be very useful for my plans, too. I'm quite glad you wished for her back." She smiled again, running her hand down his arm. He jerked away from her touch, hand flying to Tetsusiaga. She covered his hand with hers before he could draw the sword. "You don't want to do that. Anyway, I must go. Your friends are approaching. They seem worried. If only they knew. Goodbye Inuyasha. I'm looking forward to our next encounter. And remember, I know and control everything you do. Have fun.." And then she was gone.
"FUCK!" Inuyasha swore. Sango, Miroku, and Kirara soon landed in the clearing behind him. They saw Inuyasha, head in hands, sobbing.
"Inuyasha! What happened? Are you okay?" Sango asked, standing beside him with a hand on his shoulder. He didn't say anything, just shook his head. Sango sighed, knowing it was useless to persist. She was worried though. Inuyasha never cried. What had happened? She shook her head, then hopped back onto Kirara's back. They headed off in the direction Inuyasha had started off in. They followed more closely this time, making sure Inuyasha never made it out of their sight. They were both worried about him, but didn't have the courage to bring it up when they stopped to set up camp.
I was jolted awake as Koga skidded to a stop in a clearing. I guess I dozed off again… Koga set me down, then started to sniff around. "What's wrong Koga?" I asked, assuming he was just trying to pick up their trail again. He sniffed around some more then answered.
"I smell something strange here. It's Kobuya's scent. But I smell the mutt here to." He said, a confused expression on his face. I gasped, my hand flying to cover the scream I felt rising in my throat. "It's still fresh." Oh no! I hope Inuyasha is ok. As if he had read my thoughts, he said "I don't smell any blood, and it doesn't fell or look like there was any violence, so I think he's ok."
"That's a relief." I said. I sighed then walked over, climbing onto Koga's back once again. "Let's hurry up and find them."
"Ok. I don't think they're that far ahead of us, and I'm pretty sure they've stopped and set up a camp." He was already running, as he said it. I decided to stay awake so that I wouldn't miss anything else.
It wasn't long before we found the others sitting around a campfire. No body spoke as we stopped, they just stared at us with solemn looks on their faces. My eyes met Inuyasha's for only a moment before he looked away. I sighed, and hopped off of Koga's back, walking over to sit next to him. Koga followed behind silently. "Have you eaten yet?" I asked, assuming they hadn't. Sango mumbled a quiet 'no', so I asked Inuyasha if he would come with me to find some food. He nodded, and walked off. I followed behind quietly.
After a minute or two of silence, I couldn't stand it any longer. "Inuyasha, what's wrong? You've been so quiet. Did something happen?"
After a moment of silence, he stopped and finally looked at me. "It's nothing Kagome. Don't worry about it." I didn't believe that for a second.
"You're lying to me. What happened Inuyasha. I already know you had an encounter with Kobuya. Koga told me." I was furious now. How dare he lie to me? What did he think that would accomplish?
"Fuck! Kagome leave it alone! If I say it's nothing, then it's nothing." He whipped around and started to walk again. I grabbed his hoari and pulled him back. We weren't through discussing this yet.
"I'm not going to leave it alone until you tell me what happened. And I know it's something, otherwise you wouldn't be so mad about me wanting to know. Now spill. And don't you dare lie to me again." I felt like I used to when I first met him. When he wouldn't tell me anything.
"Dammit. Kobuya found me and she said that now that my wish was granted, it was time for me to start paying my part of the agreement. She wants me to kill. And once I've killed everyone she wants me to, she's going to make me kill everyone I love. And she wants to use you for part of her sick plan. I just can't stand the thought of her using ya like that, Gome. I just got you back; I don't want to have to give you up again." He huffed, then flopped down onto the ground, never looking at me. I kneeled down beside him, brushing his hair out of his face so I could see him.
"Inuyasha you're not going to lose me. I'm not going anywhere. Not without you. Don't think about what she told you. We're going to find her, and destroy her. Everything is going to be fine. I swear." I kissed his forehead and rubbed circles on his back. He wrapped his arm around me waist, pulling me into his lap.
"I can't help it. The thought of losing you again kills me. I want to believe you, I do, but what if she's right? What if we don't find her in time, and I end up killing you guys?" He hugged me tight, resting his head against my back. I felt a tear drop onto my skin, then another and another. I almost started crying to.
"We'll get through this Inuyasha. Just like we did with Naraku. You just have to believe." I felt him nod against my back before he let me go and stood up. "Let's go find some food, and get back to the others." He killed a couple hare's and we went back to camp to cook them over the fire. Everyone went silent as we returned. I didn't even need to ask, to know that they were talking about Inuyasha.
After dinner, Koga announced that he was going to go for a run. After he left, Miroku and Sango snuggled up to Kirara and fell asleep. Only Inuyasha and I were left. "You should get some sleep Kagome. We have a long day tomorrow." Inuyasha said.
"I know. I just want to talk to you, while we have some time alone." I said, snuggling into his lap and resting my head against his chest. "I really don't know how to say this, but while I was gone I got engaged to Hojo to be married. You have to understand how I felt, though. I didn't think I was ever going to see you again. After almost a year of being miserable, I decided that I needed to move on with my life so I got a boyfriend. Then when I graduated, he proposed and I accepted. But that night the well opened, and I was so happy. I knew it was a sign that we were meant to be together. I gave the ring to my mother and asked her to give it back. I'm so sorry that I doubted us, Inuyasha. I hope you're not mad. I had the same feelings about him that I have for you. No one can compare to you. You have to believe me about that." I was scared to see his face.
"Kagome look at me." I shook my head no. "Look at me Kagome." He instructed, cupping my chin and forcing me to look at him. "I don't blame ya for what you did. Of course I hate the thought of you being with another guy, but I don't blame ya. You were doing what you thought was best. All that matters is that I still got you in the end instead of Hobo or Homo or whatever his name was." He was smiling, and it made me smile to. He was right. All that matters is that we're together now. I reached up and kissed his lips softly, then snuggled up again, and went to sleep.
Where am I? Where's Inuyasha? Where is everybody? Oh no. what happened? Wait, who is that?
"Hello miko. I'm so glad I finally was able to get in touch with you. I'm sure you've probably guessed by now, but I am Kobuya." The mysterious woman, now known as Kobuya, said.
"What do you want with me?" I demanded.
"Oh, nothing really. I just wanted you to see your beloved hanyou one last time before he killed you." I noticed Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Keade, and Kirara all tied to trees around me. I tried to go to them, but realized that I, to, was tied up. I looked around and saw Inuyasha appear.
"Inuyasha!" I gasped out. He looked at me and I saw his red eyes and the purple streaks on his cheek. "Oh no. What have you done to him?"
"I haven't done anything to him my dear. He is simply fulfilling his end of the bargain. But don't worry. I'll make sure you're the last to die. You and the child you carry." Child I carry? What was she talking about? "Don't worry, you will know soon enough." Before I could say anything, inuyasha was slaughtering everyone around me. I tried to scream, but nothing came out. Where is Koga? That's when I saw him lying lifeless on the forest floor. I bowed my head and cried silently to myself. Why was this happening?
I felt a clawed finger run over my cheek then snap my head up to stare into red eyes. Inuyasha… He growled, a fang poking out of his mouth. "Bitch." He snarled. His finger nicked my cheek and I felt blood pool, then spill over the wound. "Mate, die. Baby, die." Baby? Why is everyone talking about a baby? I never got an answer. He had stabbed his hand into my stomach. I gasped, but again, found that I couldn't scream. Tears flooded down my face, mixing with the blood on my cheek and staining my shirt. His other hand slit my throat, but I never felt the pain. Everything went black as I was ripped from the tree and thrown roughly to the ground. The last thing I remembered was Inuyasha's demon face staring back at me, and his bloodied hands at his side.
I was jolted awake as I was roughly hit the ground. I gasped and opened my eyes to see a full demon Inuyasha staring back at me. Koga was at my side in an instant, pulling me away quickly. So it was all just a dream? "Kagome are you okay?" Koga asked. I nodded then looked back at Inuyasha, who was being restrained by Sango and Miroku. When they saw me, they let go of him.
"SIT!" And he was down on the ground, face first. "Sit." I added an extra, just to be sure. Cautiously, I approached his still form. My dream from last night, still fresh in my head. He rolled over, and I jumped back in surprise. HE opened his eyes and they were the same golden color I had loved since the first time I had seen them. I breathed a sigh of relief, the bent down beside him. "I'm really sorry Inuyasha. Are you ok?" He nodded, smiling at me. I knew he was angry that it had happened again, but his relief that no one was hurt over shadowed it. Everyone packed up and we left with the silent agreement that we needed to hurry up and find Kobuya.
This time, Inuyasha carried me. I couldn't help thinking about my dream again. What does it mean?
That night, we stopped in a small village and got two rooms. Koga said that he was going to go to his den for the night and tell his clan that he would be gone for awhile, then meet up with us in the morning. Sango and Miroku took Kirara and headed into their room. Inuyasha and I were left alone again, much like last night. I had already made up my mind. Tonight would be the night.
"Inuyasha, I feel like going for a walk. Would you like to come?" He nodded yes, and took my out stretched hand in his. We walked in silence until we reached a clear area near a hot spring. "Would you like to take a bath with me?" I asked, my voice slightly husky. I could see the surprise on his face as I started to strip down. I only smiled as I made my way to the water. I slipped in, then wiggled a finger at him, motioning for him to come join me. He stayed silent as he stripped of his hoari and hakama. He joined me in the water, stunned look still intact.
"Kagme, are you feeling ok?" He asked, suddenly looking concerned.
"Of course. I feel fine. Why do you ask?" I ran a finger down his chest. He caught it before it could go too far.
"Cause you're acting kinda strange." I laughed , then kissed him. "Kagome stop. What's going on?"
"I… I want to have sex with you!" My eyes went wide as I realized what I'd just said. His did the same thing.
"You want… to be my mate?"
"Yes. I told you before that I wanted to. The agreement was that we would wait until Naraku was dead. Well, Naraku is dead so what's stopping us?"
"Kobuya is stopping us. What happens if we don't stop her?"
"That's exactly why we should do it now! Do you really want to put our whole life on hold just because of her? I don't! I want to make a life now. I want to make a life with you."
"I…. fine. You're right. You're right!"
"Are you serious?" I gasped. He nodded his head. I didn't even wait a beat before I was in his lap, kissing him with everything I had. He pushed me back, and I almost cried. He stepped out of the water and moved to his hoari, spreading it out like a blanket. I smiled and followed after him. He pulled me into his arms and his lips were back on mine. Our hands were everywhere all at once. We couldn't get enough of each other. "Oh god Inuyasha." He trailed kissed down my neck, soon finding my breast. I gasped in surprise, then pulled his head closer. Who knew it would feel so good. I felt something hard pressing against my thigh. I looked down, and almost laughed at what I saw. He apparently was a very horny hanyou.
"Fuck Kagome, you're going to drive me crazy." He ground out. I laughed at that. His head slipped farther down, until he reached my sacred jewel. His tongue delved in, licking and sucking. I was squirming in his grasp, but couldn't get free. My hands wove into his hair, and I pushed him closer. I couldn't believe the places he was taking me. I tweaked his ear, trying to distract myself. He growled lowly, his head snapping up, eyes glaring at me.
"What?" I asked innocently.
"It stimulates me, Kagome, like nothing else." Then he was back between my legs, nibbling on my sensitive bundle of nerves. I screamed his name as I finally reached my climax. "God, you taste amazing." I was panting when he reclaimed my lips. My hand snaked down, gripping him and running slowly up and down his length. He moaned into my mouth but didn't make a move to stop me. I experimented a little, trying to find what he liked best. Eventually I ended up on my hands and knees, his head in my mouth. My tongue twirled and sucked around it. His hands were holding my head against it, his penis practically down my throat. With one last good suck, he was exploding into my mouth, hands pushing my head closer. I licked my lips, then kissed him again.
He rolled us over, him on top now, and pulled back to stare into my eyes. "Are you ready?" He asked, hope gleaming in his eyes. I nodded and kissed him again. He positioned him self, then thrust in kissing me harder to silence my scream. Tears trickled down my cheeks. I knew it would hurt, but not this much. He paused, waiting for me to tell him to continue. Finally the pain faded, and I could feel the faintest hint of pleasure. I thrust my hips up to meet his and he smiled, kissing me again. He started slow, making sure I was still ok, but I couldn't take it anymore.
"Please Inuyasha! I can't stand this. You're torturing me!" That was all it took. He was pounding into me like the animal he was. I wrapped my legs around his waist, arching my back as he hit my G-spot. "There! Right there!" I gasped. He gripped my hips and hit it again. My nails racked across his back, my head hanging as I moaned out his name. My breasts were bouncing from the force he was pushing into me with. I reached up and tweaked his ear again.
"Dammit Kagome!" He moaned. He thrusted harder, faster, driving me insane. He was whispering sweet nothings in my ear the whole time, making me feel wonderful. I was so close.
"Inuyasha. I'm close!" I screamed. He grabbed a nipple with his teeth and started sucking. "Inuyasha!" I screamed as I orgasmed, my muscles spasming and milking him. After a few more thrust, he joined me, squirting his seed deep inside of me. He bit down where my shoulder met my neck, sending me into another fit of orgasms. Finally he collapsed on top of me, panting hard. I kissed him on the lips after I caught my breath.
"I love you, Kagome." He whispered.
"I love you too, Inuyasha." I smiled at him, and he smiled back. He rolled off of me and pulled me close. I rested my head on his chest, and fell asleep. I was only vaguely aware of him pulling his hoari over us.
I woke up the next morning to see him smiling at me. I smiled back, kissing him on the lips. "Good morning, mate." He said.
"Good morning." I replied back. He kissed me again, then went stiff. "What's wrong Inuyasha?" I looked at him, trying to see his face. His hair was blocking it from my view. He stood up, shaking. He was mumbling something, but I couldn't understand what it was.
"Run. Run. Run." No… He finally looked up, his red eyes staring back at me. He lunged toward me but stopped inches from my face. I could see the inner turmoil he was going through. Finally he turned and ran away. I couldn't stop him, so I just curled up and cried until Sango and the others found me. They didn't say anything, just turned away as Sango helped me dress. I had done exactly what I had sworn not to do. I had let Inuyasha get away. I cried even harder at that thought. I had to find him. There was no more delaying it.
We didn't hear any news about a demon destroying villages, so we had to assume the other option. Kobuya had called him to come directly to her. That's even worse, and we all knew it. I rode on Koga's back that day, crying the whole time. That night, I had the same dream. I had that dream again, every night for the next two weeks. I didn't really have much to say anymore, and nobody pushed me to talk. I just fixed meals for everyone, then grabbed my bow and arrows and went for a walk. It became routine.
Tonight was different though, instead of not feeling the pain and blacking out in my dream, I felt everything and watched as Inuyasha finished me off. The next morning I woke up and ran to the bushes, puking out everything in my stomach. I didn't need a pregnancy test to tell me what I already knew. I was pregnant.
Ok so that's it. Hope you liked it. Remember, review guys! Just no flames. I'm going to start trying to update every weekend, but I make no promises. I've been swamped lately and I feel it's only going to get worse when school starts back. Keep your fingers crossed and look out for the next chapter! Cya!
