InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Hanyou's Love ❯ It's Not Over Yet ( Chapter 17 )

A Hanyou's Love: Chapter 17

Jennifer Karnes, AKA Kagome-sama

Disclaimer: Okay, my birthday is coming up and I'm really (really, really, really) hoping to get InuYasha!

~Gomen nasai!! I've been grounded for about two and a half weeks. The first thing they took away was my Internet access… But that didn't stop me from writing! Here's the next chapter!

And to my Mediaminer readers: I forgot to edit these before posting, so don't mind the "Kagome-sama" after my name. Or the shout outs to my Fanfiction.net reviewers!!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Kagome. Kagome, wake up. Please wake up." InuYasha had Kagome lying in his lap, one arm around her shoulder and the other under her knees. "Come on Kagome. Wake up mate, we- we need to tell okaa-san about us. About the pup."

A single tear slid down his cheek and fell onto Kagome's.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Unaware to InuYasha, Kagome couldn't wake up. She was struggling to regain dominance of her soul. When the portion of her soul Kikyo had stolen reentered Kagome's body, Kikyo still had control over it. And through it that, Kikyo was trying to overtake Kagome- her mind, body, soul and heart. Now they were locked it battle.

"Kikyo! I will not let you-"

"Let me?!" Kikyo gave an evil laugh, one very unbefitting of the dark miko. "You can do nothing to stop me!"

"I can and I will!" Kagome's words seemed to echo for an eternity in Kikyo's ears.

`She's willing to do anything to return to him…' She thought to herself. `Just like me…'

"Kagome, you and I are more alike then I thought."

"Ne! I'm nothing like you!" Kagome refused to believe that now even Kikyo believed the two of them to be alike.

"Are you not? You and I both desire the same thing. We both fell for someone who was forbidden to us. We want nothing more then to be with that man, or in this case hanyou, and are willing to do anything to do anything to achieve that goal. Our hearts' wish for the same thing- InuYasha's love." Kikyo's voice was no longer cold, but held certain warmth to it.

"You wish for nothing more then InuYasha's death! You want to drag him into Hell with you and in the process take away my only source of true happiness!" Kagome stood silent for a moment, then sighed.

"Kagome?"

"Kikyo, the only thing my heart wishes for is to return to InuYasha. To return to him and for us to raise our child together." She placed a hand on her stomach.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

`Di- did her hand just move?!' InuYasha's eyes widened in shock as Kagome's hand moved onto her stomach.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Miroku, I'm worried about Kagome and InuYasha. Do you think something happened to them? They've been gone for a few hours…" Sango stood outside Kaede's hut, Miroku's arm draped around her shoulder.

"I must admit, I too am worried about then. Kikyo may have done something to the two of them." Miroku drew Sango closer to him.

"Let's go. I refuse to stay here and just wait." Sango slid out from under Miroku's arm and walked inside only to return moments later with her Hiraikotsu and Miroku's shakujou.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

InuYasha's ears twitched. `Someone's coming…' He sniffed the air, hoping for a familiar scent. He found two and soon realized it was Sango and Miroku.

Miroku was the first to spot the hanyou and his mate. "Sango, over there."

Sango looked over to where Miroku was pointing. "InuYasha! Kagome!" She ran to InuYasha, Miroku at her heels.

"What happened to her?" Miroku put an arm around Sango for support as she spoke.

"Kagome fought with Kikyo. They attacked each other and somehow a voice came from within them. It was as if their hearts were speaking to one another."

"Their hearts?" Miroku asked, a little confused.

"Hai. Kagome's heart was truer. She won and Kikyo fell to the ground, unable to move for the most part. Kagome then gave her a choice: return to Kagome peacefully or die."

"Let me guess," Miroku began. "Kikyo refused so Kagome killed her. The part of Kagome's soul that Kikyo had stolen returned to her body, then she fell unconscious."

"Hai. How did you know?" InuYasha finally pried his eyes away from Kagome to look at Miroku.

"Like I said, a guess." He smiled briefly before his face turned grave once more.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"It is those children that are your savior Kagome." Kikyo moved forward and touched Kagome's hand, the one on her stomach.

"Children?! You mean I'm having -"

"Twins, a boy and a girl. Now that I have seen the love you hold for InuYasha, and he for you, I can rest in peace. I want you to know, I was never really evil. The body I had was crafted from hate and evil so I was the same. Goodbye Kagome, I will trouble you no longer." Kagome looked up to see Kikyo had disappeared.

"Goodbye, and arigato, Kikyo." Kagome muttered as she closed her eyes, a smile creeping across her face.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Wouldn't this be a wonderful place to end the chapter? I mean, it's like midnight and I'm typing this up! But, seeing as I haven't updated in nearly three weeks (maybe longer…) I'll keep going.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"InuYasha!" Sango practically squealed and her eyes grew wide in surprise. "Look at Kagome!"

He quickly looked down at his mate to see a smile appear n her face. `First her hand, now her smile… I think she's going to be okay…'

InuYasha leaned close to Kagome and whispered in her ear. "Kagome, I love you. Please come back to me." He then lightly brushed his lips against her's.

Moments later, Kagome opened her eyes to see her hanyou's face traced in pink from the sunset. She blinked a few times before speaking. "InuYasha…"

He moved the arm he had under her knees and wrapped it around Kagome's shoulders, pulling her into his embrace. Kagome pulled back enough to capture InuYasha's lips in a sweet kiss.

Sango and Miroku stood there for a few moments before interrupting. Sango placed a hand on Kagome's shoulder, causing her to jump. And InuYasha to growl.

"Not that I wasn't enjoying the show," Miroku spoke with a perverted grin upon his face. "Maybe we should head back to the hut."

"Hentai…" Sango muttered as she contemplated on whether or not she should hit him.

"Ne Miroku, I need to go home." InuYasha gave Kagome a look that said `you have to?'. "Oops, I mean, we need to go to my time. Christmas is tomorrow."

InuYasha stood up, pulling Kagome with him. "Let's go. We'll see you in a few days. Goodbye Sango, Miroku."

"Miroku, don't pull anything while I'm gone." Kagome grinned at him. "I don't want to come back to a funeral…"
