Together Again -Chapter 24
……………………………
Everyone watched as Princess Kagome ran to the guards at the lever and stopped them from pulling it back.
Then, the crowd separated as a female, who looked like the Princess Kagome, except shorter jet black hair and deep chocolate brown eyes, made her way up to the stage and jumped on it and stood in front of Princess Kagome, WITH OUT EVEN BOWING!! (Oh no!)
"Who are you?" The short haired Princess Kagome asked.
"Who are you?" The other Princess Kagome asked. In the distance, the sun set lower in the sky. It was almost ruby red.
Hodo walked over to them, a confused look on his face. He looked at the short haired Princess Kagome and then to the long haired Princess Kagome.
"What is going on here?!" Hodo bellowed. He turned to the long haired Princess Kagome. "Who is she and why does she look like you, Kagome?"
"I don't know, Hojo." The longed hair Princess Kagome replied.
Hodo looked at the short haired Princess Kagome.
"You have two minutes to explain yourself, who ever you are." Hodo told her.
"My name is Kagome and I'm the real Princess." The short haired Princess Kagome told him and the crowd began to whisper loudly.
Hodo busted out laughing.
"That can't be possible." Hodo told her, doubling over in laughs. After a small fit of laughs, he pointed at the long haired Princess Kagome. "Because she's the real Princess."
"No she's not!" The short haired Kagome yelled. "I am!" The short haired Princess Kagome walked and stood beside the long haired Princess Kagome. "Just look at us, Hojo. Think back to how you remembered the Princess. Please."
"And why should I do that?" Hodo asked, looking bewildered. "I all ready know who the real Princess Kagome is, imposter."
"Please." The short haired Princess Kagome begged, a begging and pleading look in her eyes.
Something about that other Kagome made Hodo think back, before Kagome and Inuyasha disappeared. A image of the short haired Kagome popped in to his head. Hodo looked at the Kagome's.
He walked up to the short haired Kagome and lightly stroked her cheek. It was velvet soft. He remembered Kagome had warm, velvet soft skin. The other Kagome, had a soft skin, too, but not as soft and not as warm. He thought back to the day when the longed haired Kagome was brought back from the fields, beaten, scratched, close to death, pale. He couldn't imagine the real Kagome like that.
Hodo looked at the longed hair Kagome and then back to the short haired Kagome. He got the strangest desire the short haired Kagome was the real Kagome. He walked up to her and whispered,
"It can't be. Is it really you?"
The short haired Kagome nodded. "Yes, I am the real Kagome, Hojo."
"Oh, Kami." Hodo breathed, embracing the real Kagome. (Inuyasha was making gagging noises in the background. Lol.)
The real Kagome let go of him and looked at Inuyasha then back to Hodo.
"Can you release him?" Kagome begged, another pleading look in her eyes. "Please?"
Hodo sighed heavily. "Okay." He waved his hand at the guards and they retreated away from Inuyasha. Kagome ran over to him and untied the white cloth and slipped the noose over his head.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha breathed, embracing Kagome, as tight as he could. In the background, everyone went wild with cheer and awes.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome breathed back, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her head on his shoulder. "I missed you."
"I missed you too." Inuyasha whispered in her ear. Kagome sighed and relaxed more into him. "I love you, Koi."
"I love you, too, Koibito." Kagome whispered back.
"Umm, excuse me." The voice of Hodo interrupted. "But what are we going to do about the imposter? Throw her in the dungeons?"
Kagome looked at the imposter, who was being held by two guards.
"She doesn't look like a threat, Hojo." Kagome told him. "Why don't you lock her in a room? With guards at the doors?"
Hodo cocked his head to the side, confused.
"Okay." He waved at the guards again and they lead the fake Kagome away. He then turned to the real Kagome, who was still nestled in Inuyasha's arms. He frowned. Didn't Kagome want to run into his arms and tell him how much she loved him? Or tell him how eager she was to get married to him?
Hodo quietly walked up to them and cleared his throat loudly, making Kagome and Inuyasha snap out of each others arms and eyes.
"Ah, Kagome?" Hodo asked tentatively. "Shouldn't we begin preparations for our wedding in a few weeks?"
Kagome looked at Inuyasha, who had the face of a person who just lost everything, then turned back to Hodo.
"Hojo, I'm sorry, but I don't want to marry you." Kagome sadly told him. "My Father left it in his will that I could marry who ever I want. And I want to marry Inuyasha. I love him."
Hodo looked taken aback but otherwise, he understood her. She wanted to spend her life with Inuyasha, a half demon who could protect her better, than with him, a human who couldn't do an equal amount of protection. He was going to object, but that was before he looked into their eyes and saw deep love for one another. He couldn't tear these two apart just because of some silly desire.
"Oh. I understand, Kagome." He told her.
Kagome didn't seem to accept that answer.
"Hojo, you do know that there's someone out their for everybody. Even for you." Kagome told him.
"I know that, Kagome. I'm happy for you." Hodo told her, still scratching his head. (He must have fleas if he's doing that. Lol.) "Really."
"Oh. Okay." Kagome said, gently wrapping Inuyasha's arm around her neck and putting her other arm around his waist. "Well, I'm going to get Inuyasha checked out."
"All right." Hodo said, watching Kagome lead Inuyasha away. "Oh wait!"
Kagome and Inuyasha stopped, looking back at Hodo.
"Yes?"
"Inuyasha," Hodo started, striding up to Inuyasha. "I'm really, am truly sorry for what has happened."
"Keh. Don't worry about it." Inuyasha told him, with his signature smile on his face. "Everyone makes mistakes. You did what you had to."
Hodo nervously smiled at them as they continued their way back to the castle. He looked at the loud cheering crowd and saw two familiar faces and a unfamiliar face. He had the idea that they wanted to talk to him, so, he waved them to come on the stage.
(Few hours later)
After Inuyasha and Kagome entered the castle, maids and nurses (as well as Kagome too) put Inuyasha in a bed and began cleaning and dressing his wounds. The most serious ones were on his back, where Hodo had slashed him. Kagome grimaced at them but otherwise cleaned and bandaged them. His other wounds weren't so bad. They looked liked they'd been healing all ready. But Kagome and the nurses still cleaned them to be on the safe side.
Inuyasha grimaced when the sting of the healing herbs touched his back but kept thinking it would help them heal and not kill him. But on the other cuts, it didn't bother him as much.
Now, it was just Kagome and Inuyasha, laying in Inuyasha's bed, looking in each other's eyes, enjoying each others company.
"How are you, Koi? I haven't seen you in four days." Inuyasha said to Kagome then kissed her on the lips.
"I'm great." Kagome answered after kissing him back. "I have my Koi back."
"Oh? Who's that?" Inuyasha asked, lightly tracing lines on her arm with the tips of his claws.
"Well, you know him. He's a strong, stubborn, handsome half demon with long silver hair and dog ears on his head." Kagome told him, reaching up and rubbing his velvety soft ears. And Inuyasha began a purr like growling sound. Kagome remembered the last time she did this. It was the night she got that bite mark on her neck. She quickly took her hand away, not wanting to lead things any further, in fear of what might happen.
Inuyasha immediately stopped his growl like purrs. He looked at Kagome who was holding her hand and blushing bright red.
"What's wrong, Koibito?" Inuyasha asked, rubbing his nose in her jet black hair.
"N-nothing." Kagome stammered, blushing a deeper red. Inuyasha gave her a questioning look but otherwise pushed the thought away. If she says its nothing, then its nothing…right?
"Come here." Inuyasha said, pulling her into his arms and kissing her forehead. "I missed holding you like this. I've been tortured these past four days without you by me."
Kagome giggled at him and rested her head on his shoulder. "I missed it too."
Inuyasha gently lifted her chin to make her look up at him and kissed her full on the lips. Kagome in return, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. Inuyasha carefully rolled on top of her and began taking her shirt off. But Kagome stopped him before her shirt reached her waist.
"What are you doing, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked him, a light blush on her cheeks, holding her shirt in place and looking Inuyasha in the eyes. "Your hurt. You can't be making love to me." In the sky, the sun dipped further and it disappeared.
"Kagome, I'm fine." Inuyasha told her, a truthful look in his eyes. "I can't feel anything. My back is really numb."
Kagome looked him over.
"Are you sure?" She asked, still not believing him.
Inuyasha captured her lips in a fierce kiss.
"I'm sure." Inuyasha replied.
Kagome sighed.
"Okay." And Inuyasha captured her lips again.
(And you guys know what happens after that!)
