Enjoy! Please review! ^-^
(recap) He quickly got up and went into the room where Kagome's body laid. There he saw Sesshomaru and Koga sitting by her side, just waiting and hoping that she would wake up. The two of them noticed that he had walked into the room. Inuyasha just looked down.
Inuyasha: She hasn't woken up has she?
Sesshomaru: No. Was she truly that unwilling to come back to the living?
Inuyasha: Yes…I'm afraid so…I tried everything but…I guess it just wasn't enough.
Koga got up from his seat and grabbed Inuyasha by the collar.
Koga: You idiot! You said you would bring her back! You promised you would! What kind of man are you that can't even keep a lousy promise?! You can't do anything right! OWWW!
Inuyasha was shocked by his sudden outburst of pain. The two of them looked back and saw that Koga had been shot in the butt…with an arrow.
Koga: W-what the hell?! How did I get shot in the ass?!
The two of them looked over and saw that Kagome was sitting up.
She had a bow in her hand and she was smiling. The two of them were so shocked and Sesshomaru looked over in disbelief as well.
Her smile only got bigger.
Kagome(Laughing): I swore a long time ago I was gonna shoot you in the butt with an arrow. And you thought I was lying…
(Continuing)
Everyone just sat there in awe. The first things rushing through their minds is…what the hell is going on?
Koga: K…Kagome? Your alive?!
Kagome: Well if I weren't, you'd still be staring at a dead body now wouldn't you?
That was all Koga needed to hear. He instantly ran over to Kagome with great speed. But a little slower than usual since he's reframed to pull the arrow out of his butt. But that was clearly the least of his concerns right now.
Koga: Oh Kagome my dearest…how I have missed you so!
He grabbed Kagome and held her so tightly her cheeks flushed red from not being able to breathe.
Sesshomaru: Uh Koga I think you're…
Koga: I thought I was gonna have to live the rest of my life without seeing your beautiful face again!!
Sesshomaru: Koga seriously she can't…
Koga: I couldn't imagine my life without you!!
Kagome was being held so tightly, that she wasn't able to breathe or talk. So she resorted to drastic measures… and started reaching for the arrow in his backside.
Koga: I'm soooo glad you're alive!!
Sesshomaru: I really think you should let go before she-
Koga: HEY DO YOU MIND?! I'M HAVING A MOMENT HERE!
Then at that moment…pluck! Kagome yanked the arrow out.
Koga: OWWWWWW HOLY CRAP!!
In pain, Koga let go and held onto his sore bottom, while scooting all over the floor.
Sesshomaru just looks at him like an idiot.
Sesshomaru: I tried to warn you…
Kagome's face had finally returned to normal and she was breathing normally.
Kagome: Fhew! Koga you sure do have one heck of a grip.
Koga(teary eyed): Ow that really hurt you know!
Kagome(Puppy dog eyes): I'm sowwy. Do you forgive me?
Koga couldn't help but stare endlessly into those beautiful glistening eyes of hers. Koga tried to stand his ground, but couldn't help but to give in.
Koga: Oh! I can't stay mad at you.
He then gave her another hug, but this one was a lot softer and she was able to breathe clearly. He clearly learned his lesson from the first one. She even returned it.
Koga: It's really great to have you back.
Kagome(Smiling): Thanks Koga.
Sesshomaru: Kagome, may I ask you something?
Kagome(puzzled): Um…sure.
Sesshomaru:…How is it, that you were able to return to the living? You seemed so resistant to come back.
Kagome: Well honestly… I didn't want to come back. I felt like I was nothing but a burden to everyone around me. But when I saw how hard you guys were fighting…all the trouble you went through just to try to bring me back…and thinking of all the people who actually missed me when I died… I knew it wouldn't be fair to have you return empty handed.
Sesshomaru: I see..
Kagome: You sounded disappointed in my answer.
Sesshomaru: Only because I know that isn't your full answer. Isn't there one more reason… why you were so willing to return?
Sesshomaru looked off to the side and Kagome followed his gaze to Inuyasha, who was still up against the wall staring at her blankly. Sesshomaru then looked back at Kagome, whose eyes were glistening as she stared back at Inuyasha. He took that as his cue and rose from his seat.
Sesshomaru: Koga, we're leaving.
Koga: WHAT?! I'm not going anywhere! And I'm especially not leaving Kagome here with that mutt!
Sesshomaru: NOW!
Koga honestly looked terrified at that moment. Sesshomaru then pointed at Kagome, who wouldn't take her eyes off Inuyasha for a second.
In realization, Koga sighed and got up as well.
Sesshomaru: We'll be outside if you need us. Let's go wolf.
Sesshomaru and Koga silently walked out.
Koga(thinking): You win this round dog boy!
So now, the two of them, were completely alone. Both just lost for words. Not knowing the first thing they could or should say to each other. Kagome, still dressed in her memorial robes which were a beautiful black kimono with pink flower petals and a pink sash going across, slowly rose from her spot on the floor and just stood there, looking utterly defenseless and fragile as she stared back at Inuyasha, whose expression was unreadable.
Inuyasha surprised her when he took one small step toward her, so she stepped back a little, holding her hand nervously against her face in a balled up fist. Seeing her do this made him take another step forward…and another…and another.
Kagome wasn't sure what he was trying to do, so out of impulse she kept stepping back. It was then when he took another step that he actually ran to her. Kagome was too stunned to move, allowing Inuyasha to grab her and be able to hold her as tightly as he could.
She was so surprised. She didn't know what to think. She thought that he would be angry, and she wouldn't blame him considering the hard time she had given him. But apparently, anger was the last thing on his mind. For the first thing he said to her was;
Inuyasha(Emotionally): I love you Kagome!
She gasped.
Kagome:…Inuyasha?
Inuyasha: You came back. I was so afraid, that you hadn't came back with me but you did. How?
Kagome buried herself deep within his chest.
Kagome:…I grabbed your hand…at the very last second.
Inuyasha: I don't understand…
Kagome: Sesshomaru was right. I did have another reason for coming back….and it was you. No matter how selfish it may sound…at that moment I didn't care about anything else but you. I wanted to come back so I could show you…show you…
She seemed to be struggling with what she wanted to say. Inuyasha lifted her off her chest so he could look directly into her eyes as he held onto her shoulders gently.
Inuyasha(Softly): Show me what?
Tears were drifting down her face at this point.
Kagome:…How much I love you.
Inuyasha gave a her gentle smile and wiped away one of her tears.
Inuyasha: I don't care how selfish it is. I'll be selfish too. Cause all I want…is you. And I will make sure…that I am the only one to have you.
Kagome(smiles): Then you're mine too.
Inuyasha laughs a little and looks at her full heartedly.
Inuyasha: Deal.
Then he came down and kissed her more tenderly than ever before. She closed her eyes, even though she could feel her cheeks blushing red since this is the first time she actually kissed him back willingly. But she admired every minute as his grip on her got tighter and tighter. She only wished that this moment could've happened sooner.
He let her go and saw this huge flush across her face.
Inuyasha: You're so cute.
Her eyes widened and she blushed even more. He had never just came out with such a blunt compliment before. He just laughed.
Inuyasha: It's good to have you back, Kagome.
********
Koga was waiting impatiently outside, digging holes in the dirt to pass the time, lord knows why. Sesshomaru just sat out there, staring up at the sky, just thinking, which he was instantly snapped out of the minute he heard footsteps heading toward him. At that moment, Kagome and Inuyasha walked out, hand in hand.
Sesshomaru: Well looks like everything's ok with you two.
Kagome: Yeah…I guess it is.
She smiled at Inuyasha and he smiled back.
Inuyasha: Hey Sesshomaru. Can I ask you something?
Sesshomaru: Ok…?
Inuyasha went to go sit next to him and that's when Kagome let go of his hand. He looked back, wanting her support, but she just smiled and gave him a gentle nudge, telling him that this was just between brothers. She then ran over to Koga and tried to get him to stop digging holes all over Kaede's yard.
Inuyasha sat next to his brother, and cleared his throat repeatedly out of awkwardness.
Sesshomaru(Annoyed): I'm not gonna know what you want to ask me no matter how many times you clear your throat so just get on with it.
Inuyasha sighed.
Inuyasha: Ok. Why did you help me out there when the portal was closing off the gateway back to the living? I thought you hated me and would want nothing more than to have me banished to another dimension.
Sesshomaru:…That's true…well…it was true.
Inuyasha: What do you mean?
Sesshomaru: You idiot…don't get all sentimental about all this but…you're the only family I've got now. Half brother, half demon, whatever it doesn't matter. You're still family. And after falling in love with Kagome… a human…I realized that humans really aren't that bad…they're actually quite interesting. So you being half demon and half human isn't really that bad. So I can stand to keep you alive.
Inuyasha was utterly lost for words.
Inuyasha: Who are you and what drugs are you taking?
Sesshomaru: Ok now you're just being stupid. Don't make this harder than it is. And what is " drugs"?
Inuyasha: It's just something I learned from Kagome's world, just forget it. So your saying that you actually think of me as family now?
Sesshomaru: Ugh…I told you not to get sentimental…but yeah.
Inuyasha(Shocked): No way…this is like the happiest day of my life.
Inuyasha scooted closer to him. Sesshomaru instantly took that as a warning sign.
Sesshomaru(Glaring): If you hug me, you die.
Inuyasha: Woah, killed the moment.
Sesshomaru sighed and in annoyance, he stuck his hand out, which Inuyasha shook happily.
Inuyasha: I'm glad were finally in agreement.
Sesshomaru smiled just slightly, it was hard to tell he was even smiling, but there was definitely some happiness there.
Sesshomaru: Yeah me too, my idiot brother.
Kagome brought Koga back to the two of them, after she got him to finally stop digging holes.
Kagome(Smiling proudly): Getting along I see.
Inuyasha: Yeah, we consider each other brothers now. We won't be fighting anymore.
Sesshomaru: Not unless he does or says something stupid like he always does.
Inuyasha: Don't get started with me!
Kagome: Hey I know this is pretty random, but I just noticed nobody else is here but us.
Koga: Oh yeah, everybody else left to do something. They left us a scroll.
Sesshomaru then reached into his kimono and pulled out a small scroll, which he then handed to Kagome.
On the note it read:
Hey you guys, there was a medical emergence in the village. Went with Kaede to help and to bring back dinner. Be back by tomorrow. Expect full explanation as to why you dug up Kagome's body!
Sango, Miroku, and Shippo.
Kagome: Wow, they made it sound so nonchalant that you guys dug up my body.
Inuyasha: Yeah are friends are weird like that.
Kagome: Which reminds me…how were you guys able to make that portal to bring me back?
Unknown voice: It was me…
Everyone looked up toward the door and saw that Kikyo was standing there.
Kagome: Kikyo? But why would you bring me back?
Kikyo: For one reason and one only...Because you can make Inuyasha happier than I ever could.
Everyone was shocked by her response.
Kikyo: I still love him, but I am no longer human, and with you being my reincarnation…in some way…in some form…I too will be with him. Besides if being with you truly makes him happy…then I would do whatever it took to ensure that happiness. Even if it meant bringing my rival back from the grave.
Kagome(Surprised): Kikyo, I don't know what to say. I really appreciate you doing this.
Kikyo: Save your breathe, as I told you I did not do it for you. I shall now take my leave.
Kikyo walked out of the hut and just walked off, no one knowing where exactly she would go. Kagome was honestly very grateful to Kikyo that she did this, even if she only did it for Inuyasha. And even thought Kagome practically owes her, her life, in the back of her mind, she could help but think;
Kagome(thinking) Hehehehe! I win!
Koga: Man she's a lonely bitch isn't she?
Inuyasha: Hey don't say that. She just saved Kagome's life.
Sesshomaru: But its not like it matters. She only did it for you. She wouldn't even take the thanks Kagome was giving her. She doesn't give a damn about Kagome. And if it weren't for you, she'd still be dead.
Inuyasha: Man. Well when you put it that way…you're right Koga. She is a bitch.
Koga: A lonely bitch!
Kagome: Wow you guys are mean.
Inuyasha(smirking): You know you're thinking it too.
Kagome(innocently): Am not!
Everyone just laughed.
Unknown voice: Lord Sesshomaru!!
Everyone looked up and saw the young girl, Rin riding the two headed demon Ah-un, with Jaken just barely holding onto the reins attached to the demons collar.
Inuyasha: Well looks like your little followers came looking for you.
Sesshomaru: Shut up.
The three of them landed and Sesshomaru walked up to them.
Sesshomaru: What are you doing, Rin?
Rin: We got worried my Lord. So we all came looking for you.
Sesshomaru looked at her, and saw that she had that same determined, yet kind and soft look in her expressions as Kagome did.
Sesshomaru(Absentmindedly): She does look a lot like Kagome. When she gets older, she could be just as beautiful as her…
Everyone gasped.
Kagome: Sesshomaru wait…you're not gonna…?!
Sesshomaru got closer to Rin and held her little hand.
Sesshomaru: Rin, do you love me?
Rin(Smiling): Of course I do my lord!
He smiled.
Sesshomaru: Then how about when you turn of age, how would you like to be my mate?
Inuyasha's face dropped, Koga got shivers all up and down his spine, and Kagome just fell to the ground and had swirls for eyes. And Jaken, well he just fell over dead, with two huge x's for eyes.
Rin's little eyes sparkled like a thousand stars had been lit on fire.
Rin: Oh I would love that more than anything, my lord!
Sesshomaru: Excellent. Then once you are of the right age, you will be my mate.
Sesshomaru then got on Ah-un and sat closely behind her.
Inuyasha: What the hell just happened?!
Kagome: You can be serious! She just a kid!
Sesshomaru: Maybe so but she knows what she's saying. She'll remember what she has said to me, and she has plenty of time to change her mind if she wants. But by the time she reaches age, and she hasn't changed her mind, then there is no turning back, and she will have to be my mate. For demons mate for life.
Koga: Aw dude, you are sick!
Sesshomaru: Hey I live forever. Plenty of time for her to grow up. And at least I can get a mate. I don't see anyone on your arm. You remember that you fuck up!
Sesshomaru then snapped the reins and Ah-un floated back up into the sky, with a barely conscious, Jaken still holding onto the reins. Sesshomaru gave one solemn wave and they were off.
Inuyasha, Kagome, and Koga: Woah…
Unknown voices: Koga!
Inuyasha: Now what!
And there from the distance, Ginta and Hakkaku were slowly running toward them.
Inuyasha: Man! Is everyone followers just picking them up today or what?!
Koga went up to Kagome and held her hands gently.
Koga: My dear Kagome. How I hate to leave you in the care of this mutt, but I'm afraid I must go.
Inuyasha stepped in between Koga and Kagome in order to separate him from her.
Inuyasha: What part of "she's mine" do you not get?!
Koga sighed
Koga: Fine.
Inuyasha and Kagome(Stunned): Wha?
Koga: Fine. She's all yours. I can tell when a woman is in love. And I can tell she is.. Unfortunately it wasn't with me.
Kagome: Koga I…
Koga: Don't fret dear Kagome. For I will always hold a place for you in my heart. But perhaps my companionship is needed elsewhere. If you ever lose interest then look me up. But for now, I do remember a certain pain in the neck wolf named Ayame, who might be interested. She already loves me, so who knows this might work out. Farewell for now, Kagome.
He then kissed her softly on the cheek and ran off towards Ginta and Hakkaku, only to pass them so they would have to catch up with him all over again.
Kagome(Stunned):… I think two guys just replaced me in less than five minutes.
Inuyasha then grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close.
Inuyasha: I told you I would have you all to myself, didn't I?
Kagome just blushed.
**(Later on that night)**
Inuyasha wanted to make sure that Kagome had rested up enough after her long and rough ordeal, so he sent her back into the bedroom to rest. But she'd already been to sleep and has been up for at least an hour. She just sat there in the dark.
Kagome(Thinking): I miss Miroku and Sango. Shippo and Kaede. But they won't be back until tomorrow. I wonder how everything's going. They'll probably pass out once they see I'm alive again. Then again, with all the crazy things we see all the time, it might not be so surprising.
Kagome soon grew tired of the darkness after a while and she lit one candle, just to illuminate the room slightly. Then she walked over to the window and looked out. The window was covered with wooden bars, but she was still able to see the beauty that was outside as she admired the full moon and all the beautiful stars that surrounded it. She was snapped out of her star gazing when she heard someone slide open the door. It was Inuyasha.
Kagome: Oh Inuyasha it's you…you scared me.
However, he didn't respond to her. He stared at her with an expression she hadn't recognized.
Kagome: Inuyasha…is there something wrong?
He still didn't answer her. She looked at him a little worried and started walking over to him.
Kagome: Come on…talk to me.
Then before she could reach me him, to hold him and ask him what was wrong, he disappeared.
Kagome: What the…?
The next thing she knew, using his super demon speed, he reappeared right behind her and grabbed her by the waist, holding her as close to his own body as possible.
She gasped.
Kagome: Inuyasha?! What are you-?!
Inuyasha(Sweetly): Kagome…
Kagome stood there, silently… patiently… wondering what he was going to say.
Inuyasha: You're so beautiful, Kagome. Seeing you look up into the sky like that just now, it was like all your features were being illuminated by the moon all at once. Just in that instant… I was reminded of all the beauty you posse…inside and out…it also showed me…what I almost lost.
Kagome was slightly lost for words at this point, so without saying a word, she let him continue.
Inuyasha: Your very fate was there…lying in my very hand…and I almost let you slip right through my fingers. You didn't want to suffer anymore. You were tired of enduring all the pain that life was pressing upon your shoulders… and you didn't want to live though it anymore. You told me a long time ago…that it was all the difficulties you had to face, and your fear of being a burden towards others is the reason you wished for death. But I know the other reason…the main reason…
Kagome: The real reason..?
Inuyasha: Yes…the main reason why you had such difficulties…why you fear being a burden…is because I made you suffer so much.
Tears started to flow down from her eyes.
Inuyasha: I was the one that made you face demons day after day, putting your life in danger. I was the one who thought you were a burden because of the fight with Naruku. I never thought about what that was doing to you….how much it was hurting you. I was so careless with my thoughts and actions that you would rather be dead than try to work things out with me.
Kagome: Inuyasha please…
Inuyasha: Kagome…I know I never said this to you but…I mean this from the bottom of my heart…I'm sorry…
She was completely stunned. Inuyasha never apologized to her about anything, for anything!
Inuyasha: I know this is surprising to you, but I should've said it sooner. I am truly and deeply sorry…for everything I did to you…for all the pain I caused.
Kagome couldn't even speak. Nothing but endless tears spoke as her words. Inuyasha gently turned her around so she was looking at him and he wiped away some of her tears.
Inuyasha: Please…don't cry anymore, my love. I want you to be happy from this point on.
Kagome: Inuyasha…
Inuyasha then held her tighter and softly held her head to his chest. He then leaned down to Kagome's ear so he could whisper to her softly.
Inuyasha(whispering): Kagome…I want to show you…how much I love you.
Kagome(sobering up): What…do you mean?
She gasped at that moment, for he put his hand through the folds of her kimono and started to slowly caress her gently across her stomach.
Inuyasha: Kagome…I want you.
Kagome's eyes widened as she blushed deeply. She couldn't believe she was even hearing him correctly. Was this really happening?
Kagome: Inuyasha. I'm not sure if I…
Inuyasha: Please…let me make love to you. Let me show you, how much I care for you….let me be the only one to have you…
Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and looked at him lovingly.
Kagome: I'm afraid…but I know I can trust you. And I love you so much. Inuyasha…I only want to belong to you.
Kagome smiled and Inuyasha knew that she had approved of his wish. His eyes sparkled with anxiety as he kissed her with such tenderness and passion.
Inuyasha: I only want to belong to you too…Kagome.
Ok you can see where this is going.
