Forsaken
Kagome Revealed and Kouga's Wish Come True
Kouga was overjoyed with the news that Kagome was finally living up to her duty. He had been worried that he really would have to sentence her to death and have to fight to the death with others of his pack to see who would be able to step up as the next pack leader. Even though the children would be half demons, they would be strong enough to hold their position and would still be worthy enough to be leaders of the tribe in the eyes of the members. Everything in his life had finally seemed to take a turn for the better. He was able to have contact with his firstborn child, even if he could not have Inuyasha himself, he was getting an heir to his tribe, and the woman that he had mated had finally accepted her position, somewhat, in the demon world.
Kagome was pissed, the well was closed. She would not be able to get rid of the child in her own world. This posed a serious problem because the people in the feudal era had a serious affliction in regards to the 'killing' of children. As far as she was concerned, until it was out of her body, it was not real, no matter who says otherwise. On top of that, those few that would be willing would have reservations because she was known throughout the demon and human worlds as Kouga of the Northern Land's mate. Even if it had been her asking in person, she would have been told upon and that would just make her life even more difficult than it already was. This meant that she was going to have to the job herself and more, Kagome was going to have to figure how to do it without drawing suspicion to herself.
After two weeks of deliberation, Kagome had finally found the solution that she needed to get the job done. She was going to need to travel on her own a bit, but if she could get to where she needed and rough herself up a bit, she could fool them all into believing that someone had been unhappy with the news of the Northern Lands finally getting a legitimate heir. She was attempting to stage a kidnapping and it had taken quite a bit of cleverness on her behalf to figure out how to set it up without it being able to come back on her of backfiring due to them catching whoever she pointed the finger out. Kagome still needed an excuse to get a quite a bit of time to herself so that she could set up everything to her liking. However, despite how foolproof her plan was in her mind, she ignored the sinking feeling in her gut that said something was going to go horribly wrong.
Kagome was ready and everything was in place. All she needed to do now was make sure to stock up enough rations so that she would not starve before she carried out her plans. With eagerness, Kagome set off into the meadow that was a day's walk from the Western Palace. She had three days of clearance so she would spend one day numbing herself with the pain blockers from her own time. On the third day she would finish her rations, make sure she looked pretty roughed up, take the poisons that she had inconspicuously asked about, and then wait for help to come just in the nick of time to save her life, but the not the parasite that was trying to live off of her.
Inuyasha opened his eyes from the meditative state that he had been and immediately sent for Sesshoumaru, Kouga, and Mozinth. He had urgent news that he needed to give them before it was too late to save an innocent life. The inu-hanyou had always been in deep connection with Nature, especially after he had been pinned to Goshinboku for fifty years of his childhood. It was his connection with Nature that had whispered to him of the miko's plans to destroy the child that she housed in her womb. The half demon could not allow her to murder an innocent that had yet to live and that was even putting aside his want to protect another that would be like himself.
Sesshoumaru and Mozinth were the first to show, followed quickly by Kouga who was half excited and half worried as to why Inuyasha would be requesting him by name. When he arrived and heard what the half demon had to say, he was ready to hate the mutt again, however he was still smarting over the last time that he had went against what the dog had said. He was going to trust Inuyasha for once and hope that when the day was over and Kagome had been brought back to the palace that the other was wrong. Kouga had an instinctual feeling, though, that the mutt was right.
Sesshoumaru and Mozinth had already gathered several of their most trusted scouts and several healers of both the human and demon persuasion to help with the recovery of the miko. If what Inuyasha said was true, then they would have to imprison the miko as she had tried to kill an innocent. After she gave birth, Kouga would have no choice but to have her sentenced to death. The murder, attempted murder, or serious harm of a child in the feudal era was unforgivable, no matter the reason.
A/N: I am trying my best to update. The next time that I get access to the internet, I hope to have multiple chapters to post now that I have a computer, but no internet. I thank all my devoted readers and I beg of you to please continue to review. Your suggestions give me inspiration.
Nama!
