Chapter 16
"Okaa-san? Okaa-san? Where are you, okaa-san?" the frantic voice of 7 year old Kameko rang thru Inuyasha's ears as his little princess called for her mother.
"Mother is waiting for us at the well, sweetie," the reassuring voice of her father appeased her.
Inuyasha ran carrying his daughter in his shoulders like a potato sac. Soon after he arrived near the well and let his daughter down, he ran towards his wife.
"Inuyasha, y-you're human! What happened?" Kagome asked, putting her hands on her husband's face.
"Kagome, love, there's no time for dumb questions, now have you being able to open the portal?" Inuyasha asked franticly.
"I have tried but it's no use! I don't know what to do?" Kagome cried, falling to the floor. "My powers are all gone!"
"There's no need for desperation, miko" Sesshomaru reassured.
"Father, more youkais are heading this way!" an 8-year-old Seiichimaru exclaimed.
"I will hold them off… Look for a way to open the portal, miko…" commanded Sesshomaru. "Seiichimaru, I entrust you to protect them…" he said as he flew towards the menacing creatures.
I must do this! I must let us out of here… it's the only way, thought Kagome. For my family, I must do this!
A blue light enveloped the miko as she held her hands together and prayed, "Dōzo, kai no pōtaru, watashitachi ni tsūkō-ken o ataeru" (which read: Please, portal of times, grant us passage).
A sudden light shown form the well and the earth quacked. Inuyasha immediately grabbed both Kameko and Seiichimaru from the collar of their haori and threw them through the well. The well shown brighter, meaning that both had passed…
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled astonished.
"Keh! I needed to make sure it worked! If they hadn't passed, they'd still be here… Rin!" he yelled turning towards his sister-in-law. "Your turn!"
"But… Sesshomaru-sama?" she asked.
"Don't worry about the demon, he'll take care of himself, now go!" he urged Rin to jump, but she was too scared.
"Well if you are not going to do it yourself…" and without asking, he grabbed Rin by the waist and threw her. The well shone again.
"Good! Now you go, Kagome!" he yelled at his wife.
"NO! What happens if it closes after I pass? I can't let that happen!" she had a point.
"Sesshomaru! It worked! Move that dog ass of yours and get here!" Inuyasha yelled to his half-brother.
An irritated Sesshomaru just glared at his younger brother and jumped through the well. The well shone once again.
"Inuyasha, your turn! Move it!" she signaled some demons coming their way. She got her bow and arrow ready, and her spiritual powers thru her arrow shot the demons, disintegrating them.
"I'm not jumping without you!" he said with much love in his eyes. She understood.
Inuyasha took hold of her hand and the two stood on the edge of the well; without looking back, they both jumped, together.
Darkness. It is still surrounding me. I can't seem to open my eyes; they're too heavy. An immense feeling of tiredness engulfed me as I tried to move my body.
What just happened? Where am I?
I heard movement.
"Kameko?"
Rikuo?
I tried to speak but all that came out was muffled sounds.
"Don't try to speak…. Everything's fine… you are safe now," Rikuo said. He sounded worried.
I tried to speak again but it was still incomprehensible.
"Here have some water, if you can get up…" he sat in the corner of the bed, trying to help me sit up.
"Rikuo, stop babying me… I can do it myse… OUCH!" I nearly passed out because of all the pain. My whole body felt like it had being run over by an elephant. My back hurt tremendously.
"Don't over do it. Here, let me help," Rikuo said as he sat behind me, making my back rest against his chest. The sweet fragrance of cherry blossoms where welcomed by my battered senses. It felt amazing being so close to him. It felt right. I decided to turn sideways, so I could rest my cheek in his chest and hear his heartbeat. It hurt like a bitch but I didn't complain. He placed a hand in my waist and I took my right hand and rested it on his chest. I could feel, as he dug his face in my hair and sniffed it.
"I was afraid," he said, breaking the silence. I smirked.
"What are you talking about? A youkai should never show fear," I said.
"Says the one who's afraid of Bankotsu," he said, chuckling.
"Oh shut up, would you?" I laughed.
"I thought I was going to loose you."
"I'm not that fragile, Rikuo…" I said.
"Stop acting all strong; stop denying your human side… You can still get hurt," he retorted. My eyes widened at that remark. Its true… I've always being fighting who I am…
"You need to embrace both sides of you… this is what makes you strong"
"Rikuo, you are sounding like my dad" I chuckled. He smirked.
We went silent after that. He stroked my hair with his hand as I listened to his steady heartbeat.
"I'm tired…" I said, breaking the silence.
"You should rest," he whispered into my ear. He started to move but I grabbed his arm.
"Don't leave…" I begged in a whisper.
"Never…" his voice was happy and mellow.
I sighed in relief as Rikuo and I slept together for the first time.
Ahhh! Finally some love!
Anyways, I promise it will get more exciting after this; more battle scenes will come!
