InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Slave to No One ❯ Chapter 7 ( Chapter 7 )

Chapter 7

 

Kagome had awoken to the sound of Inuyasha gasping for air. He was having a hard time breathing when he was lying on his stomach. The chloroform was starting to wear off and now, for some unknown reason; he was having problems just taking normal breaths.

 

Kagome quickly got up and went to check on him. `His air passage seemed to have closed for some reason.'

 

She slipped one arm under his chest as she brought her other arm around his back; she grabbed onto her other hand and lifted him into an almost sitting position, with his back resting against her chest. She rolled him on his left side, being careful of his right shoulder, as she laid him back down.

 

She hit the pedal on the floor and raised the head of the table so that Inuyasha was part way sitting up.

 

It was helping with his breathing but he was becoming so agitated that he started to panic. She tried to help him relax so he could breath but even rubbing his ears wouldn't clam him.

 

Kagome was starting to get worried, if she didn't get him to clam down and soon, she could lose him.

 

She started to think about what she could do to clam him. She got an idea as she sat on the bed and then pulled his head against her chest and held him. She started to coo at him as she said, “Koi, please clam down, if you don't I will lose you. I don't even want to think about losing you, I love you and I need you to stay with me.” She said in a soft and gentle voice.

 

Kagome rocked him as she held him in her arms and then started to sing to him in a nice low voice.

 

~oOo~

 

Inuyasha had woken up; his shoulder felt like it was on fire. He started to take deep breaths in order to fill his lungs with some much-needed air. The more he breathed the more he needed. Soon he started to cough and he was choking as he felt Kagome turn him on his side.

 

He felt as she raised the bed he was on so that he was almost in a sitting position. It helped with his breathing but he still couldn't get enough air.

 

He was starting to panic, he felt her rub his ear but this wouldn't clam his instincts to survive.

 

He needed to breath and he wanted air as he was fighting with his body to get it. He felt as Kagome rested his head on her chest as the sound of her heartbeat was beginning to calm him down.

 

Then he heard her words and it touched his heart, `She called me Koi and she said she loved me.' These few words were enough to clam him as he heard her singing to him the way his mother used to do. She was rocking him gently as he finally fell asleep with the thought that he might've found his life mate.

 

Kagome finally felt him relax as his breathing became normal. She laid him down on the table as she gently caressed his cheek with her hand. She stared at him with want as she thought, `How can I ever live my life without him. I love him so much that it hurts. I know that he will never accept me once I tell him who I am.'

 

Tears were coming down her face as she continued to look at him. “I love you, my Inuyasha.” Kagome whispered as she got up and then went to see what kind of poison was put into the bullet that almost killed him.

 

~oOo~

 

The next morning Inuyasha slowly opened his eyes as he noticed that Kagome was sitting in a chair with her head down on the table asleep next to him. She had not left his side since he had gotten hurt.

 

He took a deep breath and he finally felt fine. His shoulder was just a little sore. He shifted just a little and Kagome instantly woke up. She looked up with concern in her eyes as she said, “Inuyasha! How are you feeling?”

 

Inuyasha smiled at the girl and then said, “I feel fine thanks to you. I never thought that a bullet could hurt so much.”

 

Kagome was relieved to hear that he was feeling better as she sat back in her chair and said, “Well, you weren't hit by a normal bullet. The bullet had been laced with cyanide. The dose was enough to kill 100 people. If it would've hit me I would've been dead in a matter of minutes.”

 

Kagome continued to look at her hands as she talked she didn't want to see his face because she knew that she would begin to cry again at the thought of losing him.

 

Her eyes were beginning to fill with tears, she didn't want Inuyasha to see her crying so she got up as she started to leave the room that Inuyasha was in.

 

Inuyasha saw her leaving and then said, “Kagome? Where are you going?” He didn't want her to leave he liked being with her.

 

Kagome turned, trying to hold back her tears, as she said, “I'm going to make you something to eat. I'll be right back.” She smiled and then walked out the door.

 

Once Kagome was outside the room she broke down and cried. She couldn't help it she had been a nervous wreck ever since Inuyasha had gotten hurt. She couldn't sleep, she couldn't eat, and she was having a hard time with just about everything.

 

Inuyasha's ears moved from side to side as he heard Kagome crying out in the hallway. He slowly got up and went to the door as he quietly opened it. He found her on the floor right outside his door, she had her back to him and her head was hanging down crying.

 

Kagome continued to cry as she said in a low and soft voice, “How can I live my life without him. I love him so much but as soon as he's better I know he will leave. I have to face it he couldn't be interested in a person like me.”

 

“I wouldn't be so sure of that,” said Inuyasha as he stepped into the hallway and kneeled right in front of her.

 

Kagome jumped, she had thought that she was alone but there he was kneeling right in front of her as he heard everything she had said. She turned bright red from embarrassment as she tried to stand up and leave.

 

Inuyasha seeing what she was going to do was not about to let her leave. He grabbed her by her arms and pulled her back towards him, while they were both kneeling on the floor.

 

He looked into those perfect blue eyes searching for the other part of his soul. She made him whole and he wasn't about to let her go.

 

Kagome couldn't look at him; she was embarrassed at what he had heard her say as she looked away from him. She wanted to get away from him but he was holding her so tight that it almost seemed impossible for her to move.

 

Inuyasha took his hand and placed it on her chin as he turned her head towards him so he could look at her. He wanted to see her eyes. He wanted to know if she really loved him or was it just words that she was saying before. Her eyes were like an open book to him as he saw the love she felt for him.

 

Kagome was struggling against his grip but it was a losing battle as he leaned down and kissed her passionately. She tried to pull away from his grasp but as he tightened his grip on her she gave into her desire and relaxed into his arms enjoying the kiss they were sharing.

 

When they finally pulled apart, Inuyasha looked into her blue eyes and said, “Kagome, I don't know what I would've done if that bullet would've hit you instead of me. I can't bare the thought of losing you. I love you Kagome and I want you to be my life mate.”

 

Kagome was breathing hard. She had heard his confession to her and it filled her heart with joy. He loved her just as she loved him and now he was asking her to be his life mate. She looked into his eyes and said, “Before I answer your question there's something that you must know about me.” She said as she lowered her head to the ground, not willing to look at him.

 

Inuyasha saw the happiness in her eyes and then the sadness that took over them. He heard what she had said to him as she looked away. `What does she have to tell me that would cause her so much pain. That she can't even answer my question?'

 

“Kagome what must I know about you? And why can't you answer my question?” asked Inuyasha as he eyed her with interest.

 

Kagome started to get up off the floor as she used the wall to support her tired body. She was weak from lack of sleep, lack of food, and especially after that kiss. She started to fall and Inuyasha grabbed her as he lifted her in his arms and took her to her bedroom to rest.

 

He walked into her room and placed her on the bed, he sat next to her and waited for her to explain her statement from before.

 

After a few minutes Kagome started to stir and felt that she was lying on something soft. She opened her eyes and saw that she was in her bedroom. Inuyasha was sitting next to her waiting for her explanation.

 

She took a deep breath and turned away from him as she closed her eyes and said, “After I tell you what you need to know you may not want me as your life mate.”

 

Inuyasha breath just hitched as he heard her words. `What does she mean I wouldn't want her as my life mate. She is everything that I ever wanted and I love her. What's wrong?' he looked at her with concern and said, “Kagome, what's wrong? Please tell me!”

 

Kagome took another deep breath and then said, “My name is Kagome, Kagome Higurashi, and my father is the King of the Southern lands.”

 

Kagome turned to see the shocked look on his face as she sat up in her bed and continued. “Inuyasha, I'm sorry but you had to know that I'm Princess Kagome heir to the thrown of the Southern Lands. I felt that you have a right to know this before I would answer your question. I'll understand if you want to leave.” She said in a sad voice as she looked away from him.

 

Inuyasha was in shock he couldn't believe what she had just told him. `She is a princess and heir to the Southern lands?' He looked at her and he saw the tears running down her face. She was afraid that he would turn her away because of who she was.

 

He then said, “Kagome answer me this question. Do you love me?”

 

Kagome raised her head and looked into his golden eyes, without even hesitating she answered, “Yes.”

 

Inuyasha smiled as he heard her answer and then said, “Well, since we are telling each other the truth about our parents then it's only fair that you know that my father is Lord Inutaisho, ruler of the Western Lands.”

 

Kagome's eyes grew bigger at what he had said. `His father is the Lord of the Western Lands! Then that means he is a prince and I'm a princess and if we were to marry our two kingdoms will be united as one.'

 

Kagome was breathing hard she didn't know what to do. She loved him and wanted to be with him but what would their parents say? Would they even allow such a union between them?

 

Inuyasha saw the emotions that were running through the girl's eyes. He knew what she was thinking and then he said, “Kagome? I'm waiting for an answer to my question, will you be my life mate?”

 

Kagome looked at him and said, “Um, Inuyasha, what would your father say if you wanted to mate with a human?”

Inuyasha looked at her and said, “I don't care what he thinks. I love you and I want you to be mine forever. He's just going to have to live with it because this is what I want.”

 

Kagome's heart filled with joy, `he doesn't care what his fathers thinks, he loves me and wants to be with me and I feel the same way.' She smiled and said, “I love you too Inuyasha. I don't care what my father thinks either I want to be with you forever. So to answer your question the answer is yes.”

 

Inuyasha heart almost leaped out of his chest as he heard her answer. He leaned in and kissed her as he gently laid her down on the bed never once breaking from the kiss they were sharing.

 

When he pulled away from her he said, “You just made me the happiest demon alive. I have one more thing to ask you. May… I… mark you?”

 

Kagome looked at him with confusion in her eyes, she didn't know what he meant by that. “Um, Inuyasha? What does that mean?”

 

He smiled at her and said, “When an Inu youkai finds his intended he marks her to make sure that other youkai know that she's taken. It's not the mating mark, which will stay with you forever, but the mark I will give you will mark you as mine and you will carry my scent protecting you. Anyone who tries to take you will suffer my wrath. This is our custom.”

 

Kagome then said, “Oh, so it's like an engagement mark saying that I'm yours until we, um, mate?”

 

Inuyasha smiled and said, “Yes.”

 

Kagome smiled and said yes to his request as Inuyasha leaned in and kissed her once again. He kissed her passionately as he nipped at her lower lip and she gladly opened her mouth to him. He enjoyed her sweet juices as his tongue explored every inch of her. Their tongues were fighting each other to see who was stronger as Inuyasha easily won that battle.

 

He pulled away from her as he started to trail kisses down her neck. He moved her hair out of the way as he pulled on her shirt to expose her neck even more. He started to kiss the sensitive area of where her neck met her shoulder as his eyes turned red and his fangs grew longer. Then he bit her as the blood started to come from her wound and his fangs dug deeper into her skin.

 

Kagome suppressed a cry as she closed her eyes and just enjoyed the sensation he was giving her body. She completely relaxed in his arms as he removed his fangs and then started to lick the wound closed. Kagome moaned with desire as she felt his hot tongue on her neck.

 

She was getting tired as her eyes started to close at hearing Inuyasha's purr coming from deep in his chest. He was purring with delight as he was licking her neck happy that she had accepted him as a mate.

 

When Inuyasha looked up he saw that she was asleep in his arms. He smiled knowing that his purr had lulled her to sleep and after taking care of him all night, she deserved to get some rest.

 

He pulled her closer to him as he cradled her sleeping form in his arms and then fell asleep right next to her. He held onto his future mate, as his demon side beamed with joy at having found a mate that was his equal.

 

~oOo~

 

Kagome awoke the next day to find that she was warm and that she was being held in a tight embrace. When her eyes focused she saw that Inuyasha was asleep right next to her. She smiled as she looked at his sleeping face. `So this is what I have to look forward to every morning when I wake up.'

 

Kagome started to giggle as she reached up with her hand and started to rub his ear.

 

Inuyasha felt good, someone was rubbing his ears and it really felt good. He slowly opened his eyes and saw two blue ones staring right back at him. He tightened his grip on the girl in his arms as he leaned down and kissed her passionately. Her hand left his ear as she wrapped them around his neck and leaned her body close to his.

 

When he finally released her he said, “How do you feel?”

 

Kagome smiled and said, “fine, but I'm a little hungry. How about we go and get something to eat.”

 

Inuyasha smiled at the mention of food and release the girl from his grasp as she slowly got out of her bed and stood. Kagome tested her legs, as she felt weak from not eating. She slowly walked to the door with Inuyasha right behind her as they walked down to the kitchen.

 

It didn't take long for Kagome to cook breakfast for them as they sat down and ate their food. Kagome felt better after she had eaten. They were cleaning the kitchen when the phone rang and Kagome went to answer it. Inuyasha continued to clean the kitchen and found that it wasn't as hard as he had thought it would be.

 

When he was done he went in search of Kagome who was somewhere in the house. He heard her voice coming from a room and he went to investigate. He opened the door and found her sitting behind a big desk as she put the phone down, looked up at him, and gave him one of her most perfect smiles.

 

He walked into the room and saw all of the books that were neatly placed on the bookshelves. He looked in awe as he said, “Have you read all of these?”

 

Kagome smiled and said, “No, not all of them, but I've read about 80 percent of them. These are my medical books and I have final exams tomorrow. The person that called was my friend Sango. The girl I went shopping with the other day when you got hurt. She was asking to see how you were doing and I told her that you recovered nicely from your wound.”

 

Inuyasha looked at her and said, “Did you tell her about us?”

 

Kagome looked away from him, lowered her head and said, “No, I haven't told her. I wanted to speak to my father first and see how he is going to take the news. I'm sure that after I speak to him the whole city will know that I'm to marry a hanyou.”

 

Inuyasha looked at her with sadness in his eyes as he turned away from her and said, “Kagome, if this is going to cause you pain then we don't have to mate. The mark I gave you will go away in about two months and no one will ever know.”

 

He felt a gentle hand on his shoulder as he turned to see Kagome standing next to him.

 

Kagome looked up into his eyes and said, “I don't care what other people think. I have been living here in the forest for a long time and I like it here. If they don't like who I have chosen as my husband then I don't have to take the thrown when the times comes. I can step down and live my life in peace with you.”

 

Inuyasha looked at her and smiled, `Now I know why I fell in love with her. She always seems to see the bright side to everything. It will be hard on both of us but we can live in peace and we can be happy together.'

 

He held her in an embrace then she pulled away from him and said, “I will have to go to school tomorrow. I have finals and then I will be done with my schooling to become a doctor.”

 

Inuyasha looked at her in confusion as he said, “School???”

 

Kagome smiled and said, “Yes school, it's a place where we go to study to become experts in our fields. I have chosen to be a doctor because I want to heal everyone. Everyone deserves to be treated if they are injured or sick. I don't care if they're human, demon, or animal. I will take care of all of them. No one should have to suffer because of who they are. It's just not right.”

 

Inuyasha smiled and said, “O.K. but I'm coming with you. You're not going there unprotected. If they tried to kill you once then they will try again and I want to be there to protect you.”

 

Kagome looked at him with concern in her eyes as she said, “Inuyasha, I don't want you to get hurt again. Please, promise me that you will be careful when we go there. I don't think that I could handle you being hurt again.” She looked away from him as a lone tear came out of her eyes.

 

Inuyasha saw her do this and he reached up with his hand to turn her head so he could look at her. He saw her tears and gently licked them away from her face. Then he said, “I promise to be careful, I'm not about to leave this world when I have you in my life.”

 

~oOo~

 

The next day Kagome drove to her college with Inuyasha. He was walking her to her first class when they heard this male voice calling for Kagome. Kagome stopped as she turned towards the person that was calling her name and she sighed when she saw who it was.

 

It was Hojo and Inuyasha was not happy.

 

Inuyasha began to growl as this male approached his mate. Kagome touched his arm and told him to behave as she asked him to remember what she had told him that morning.

 

Inuyasha lowered his ears and stood behind her as he watched this, `Hobo guy,' approach his mate.

 

Kagome put on a fake smile as she greeted him, “Hello Hojo.”

 

Hojo came up to her and said, “Hi, Kagome, I was wondering if I could escort you to your fathers dinner party in a couple of weeks?”

 

Kagome smiled and said, “I'm sorry Hojo, but I'm already going with someone else.”

 

Hojo looked disappointed as he asked, “Oh, you already have a date. Who is he?”

 

Kagome was irritated that he asked her such a personal question and said, “I don't think that's any of your business, Hojo. Who I go out with isn't your concern. Now if you would excuse me I have exams to take.”

 

Kagome started to walk away as Hojo grabbed her by the arm and a growl came from the hanyou standing right behind her. Hojo looked up and for the first time he noticed that there was a slave with her. He kept his grip on her as he said, “Kagome, I see you finally got yourself a slave. Now you are one of us.”

 

Kagome anger flared as she said, “I'll never be one of you! Now let go of my arm or Inuyasha will have the pleasure of ripping your head off!”

 

At this Inuyasha bared his fangs and flexed his claws as he eyed the guy holding his mate. When he wouldn't release her he lashed out with his claws and just barely missed as Hojo jumped out of the way.

 

Inuyasha was now standing in front of Kagome protecting her as Kagome rubbed her arm. She looked at him and said, “Hojo, let this be the last time you ever touch me. I have told you hundreds of times that I'm not interested in you. Now go away and leave me alone!”

 

Kagome turned and started to walk towards her class as she gently said, “Inuyasha, leave him, he's not worth your time.”

 

Inuyasha heard her words as he turned and followed the girl to her class.

 

Hojo stood there eyeing the girl of his dream as he thought. `You may reject me now but after the announcement is made at the dinner party you will have no choice but to learn how to love me. As for your slave he will be killed the moment we are married.'

 

Hojo turned and walked away as he saw his future fiancé walking away from him.

 

Kagome got to the building where she was to take her final exam as she turned to Inuyasha and said, “Inuyasha, I will be in here for a few hours. You can go into the forest over there and wait for me. When I'm done, I'll come looking for you.”

 

Inuyasha saw her friend coming up behind her as he said, “As you wish master,” and gave her a slight bow as he walked away from her heading for the forest.

 

Kagome stood there wondering why in the hell he had done that when she felt a familiar presence behind her and said, “How long have you been standing there, Sango?” She turned to find her friend standing there looking at her with interest.

 

Sango smiled and said, “Not long. I just walked up when I heard you say for him to wait for you in the forest. He has definitely changed from a few days ago. I see that he is obeying you now.”

 

Kagome rolled her eyes and said, “Sango, I told you that I'm not like the others. I prefer for him not to call me that but it's a bad habit to break. But in time he will quit calling me master.”

 

The girls turned and went into the building to take their final exam as Inuyasha watched from a tree branch in the forest. There he stood guard making sure that no one will harm his future mate.

 

~oOo~

 

Miroku, Shawn and Mike had finally made it out of the hotel room to go looking for Inuyasha. They had a late start, but now, they were on their way to find Inutaisho son. They hoped that it wouldn't be difficult to get him away from the girl. Miroku would hate to take him by force.

 

As they reached the college he turned to Mike and Shawn and said, “alright you two its time to put those noses of yours to work, see if you can find him. I know he's here somewhere.”

 

Mike and Shawn got busy as they started to sniff the air. Shawn caught his scent and then said; “He's this way.” They took off at a fast pace in search of Inuyasha.

 

Shawn stopped and signaled that they were close to where the hanyou was. The group slowed as they approached the area where they believed Inuyasha would be.

 

Inuyasha had been sitting in a tree relaxing when he caught a familiar scent in the wind. He growled as he stood up and looked down to see three men approaching where he was hiding.

 

`What are they doing here?' He thought as he eyed them from his perch.

 

When they were close enough to him he jumped from the tree and landed right in front of them as he growled.

 

Miroku, Shawn, and Mike were scared out of their minds when Inuyasha jumped right in front of them and he started to growl. Miroku being the first to recover from the scare took a few steps forward and said, “Inuyasha! We have finally found you!”

 

Inuyasha eyed Miroku and said with a growl, “What are you doing here, Miroku?”

 

Miroku raised his eyebrow and said, “Shouldn't that be obvious, we were sent by your father to find you and let me tell you my friend it hasn't been an easy task.”

 

Inuyasha stood tall as he crossed his arms across his chest and said in an arrogant tone of voice, “My father is worried about me? Feh. That will be the day. But you can go back and tell him that I'm safe and that he doesn't have to worry about me.”

 

Miroku eyed him as he tried to reason with the stubborn hanyou, “Inuyasha, you know that I can't do that. We have orders to bring you back with us. If you don't come back then your father will declare war on the humans here and millions will die. Not all of these humans deserve that fate. We know that you have been turned into a slave and we have come to set you free.”

 

Inuyasha started to laughed and said, “I'm not a slave, well at least not anymore. I was freed a while back and I have chosen to stay here.”

 

Miroku was taken by surprise by his comment as he said, “You were freed? And you chose to stay here? Why?”

 

Inuyasha huffed as he said, “I have my reasons.” He turned and started to walk away from his companions.

 

Miroku held up his staff and said, “Inuyasha, you're aware that the girl you are staying with is the daughter to the King of the Southern Lands.”

 

Inuyasha stopped and looked over his shoulder as he said, “Yes, I know who she is. Look, Miroku, go back and tell my father that I'm all right. Tell him that I will be back in a couple days with Shippo. I have to take care of a few things first and then I will leave.” He said as he was walking deeper into the forest.

 

“Inuyasha, I know that you have been protecting this girl and that you were injured a few days ago. You're playing with fire if you think your father won't find out what you're doing.” Said an agitated Miroku as he followed his friend trying to reason with him.

 

Miroku had to convince Inuyasha to go back home with them. His father didn't want to hear that he would be home in a few days.

 

Inuyasha had stopped walking and turned around to face his friend as he said, “I know what I'm doing. I will go back when I have taken care of my responsibilities. My father has always taught me that I'm responsible for my action and that I should never leave things undone. I will return once I have completed my task. If you want, then just one of you go back and inform my father that I'm all right and that I will be returning soon. The rest of you can stay in the forest where the girl lives.”

 

Inuyasha looked at his friends and knew that this wouldn't be enough for them to leave. They were under orders to bring him back and they were about to carry out that order.

 

Miroku eyed his friend as he came to a decision. He had his orders and Inuyasha wasn't about to leave the girl. So Miroku had to force him to go home and see his father. He raised his staff as he pointed it at Inuyasha.

 

Inuyasha saw what his friend was about to do and jumped out of the way. He was not about to be captured by him and taken back to his father. He will leave when he was damn good and ready.

 

Shawn and Mike got on either side of him when he landed and Miroku was in front of him. Inuyasha started to growl as Miroku said, “I'm sorry Inuyasha but I have my orders, you're coming with us.”

 

Miroku raised his staff and effectively ensnared Inuyasha in a binding spell.

 

Inuyasha tried to get out of the invisible ropes that his friend had put him in. They were about to grab him when they heard someone call the hanyou's name and they all turned to see who it was.

 

~oOo~

 

Kagome had come out of the building early. She had finished her exam and now she was done. She knew that she had passed with flying colors. Glad that the exams were over with she wanted to find Inuyasha, go home, and just enjoy his company.

 

When she looked in the direction of the forest she saw Inuyasha surrounded by three men. One of them was a monk and it looked like he had placed a binding spell on Inuyasha. She saw them getting closer to him as she yelled, “INUYASHA!!!!” and ran towards him.

 

She saw them all turn towards her when she called his name as she stopped and said, “Heel boy!” Inuyasha came towards her as the subduing spell did its work. Once he was by her side she smiled at him and placed her hands on his body effectively breaking the spell.

 

Kagome then looked at the three intruders and said, “Why did you subdue him? He wasn't hurting anyone.” Kagome got a closer look at them and saw the concealment spell, she closed her eyes and concentrated. When she opened her eyes she saw three demons in front of her.

 

Then Kagome narrowed her eyes and said, “Why would three demons subdue another? Your concealment spell is good but not something that I can't break to see the truth. Now tell me why you're after him?”

 

Miroku was shocked. This girl had gotten Inuyasha away from them, had broken his binding spell, and by the looks of it she could see right through their concealment spell.

 

Miroku approached the girl and said, “We have come to take him back home. His father has sent us looking for him. We can't leave without him or there will be hell to pay.”

 

Kagome looked at him and then at Inuyasha and asked, “Is this true? Are they here because your father has sent them?”

 

Inuyasha looked away from her as he lowered his ears to his head and sighed, and then he said in a very low voice, “Yes”

 

Kagome looked at the ground. She didn't know what to do. She was heart broken because she knew that he wanted to stay but she also knew that he had to go back to his father. She looked up and then reached for the necklace around his neck, she pulled it with such force that she broke it.

 

Then she said, “I have broken the necklace, you are free to go home Inuyasha. If you would give me a couple of hours I will go get Shippo and bring him to you.”

 

Kagome looked up into his hurt eyes, she reached up with her hand to caress his cheek as she said, “I love you Inuyasha and I know you have to go back. If it is meant for us to be together then I will see you again. If not, I have enjoyed our time together.”

 

Inuyasha looked into her eyes and his heart was broken. He wanted to stay but his father was making things difficult for him. He lowered his head as he felt the pain in his heart, not knowing if he would be able to return to her. He didn't know what to do.

 

Kagome turned to the three demons that were standing there looking at them and said, “I will be back here in two hours time with his friend, please wait here for me.”

 

Miroku agreed as he watched the girl walk away and he saw her crying. He turned to Inuyasha and said, “We need to get back into the forest and wait for the girl to return.”

 

Miroku tried to place a hand on the hanyou's shoulder to comfort him but he shoved it away while he said, “Why couldn't you just leave me in peace. I was actually happy here with her and now she's gone.” He turned and started to go into the forest to wait for Kagome to come back.

 

Shawn and Mike walked towards Miroku as they kept their eyes on the hanyou to see where he was going. Shawn said, “Um, Miroku, I think we should've left him here. The girl means a lot to him, he has made her his mate.”

 

These words shocked Miroku from his thoughts as he said, “His mate?”

 

Shawn nodded his head indicating that he had heard correctly. “His scent is all over her and she carries his mark. You can barely see it on her right shoulder but its there. The scent tells the rest of us that she's his mate.”

 

`No wonder he wanted to stay. Boy, I really know how to mess things up.' Thought Miroku with a groan as they all turned and headed into the forest to await Kagome's return.

Kagome was true to her word she had returned with Shippo in less than two hours time. She found them easily as she told Shippo that he was free to go home and then she broke his necklace as well.

Kagome turned to leave when Inuyasha came running up behind her and grabbed her in an embrace. Kagome turned to look into his eyes and said, “I love you, my Inuyasha.” As she stood on the tip of her toes to reach his lips and kissed him goodbye.

 

Inuyasha was heart broken but he was determined to return. He lowered his head and said in her ear, “Kagome, I will come back for you. I love you and I want to be with you. I just want to make sure that my father won't attack your kingdom and kill all of the innocent people here.”

 

Kagome smiled as she hugged him goodbye and then walked away from him not saying a word.

 

Miroku walked up behind Inuyasha and put a hand on his shoulder. The hanyou quickly turned around and shoved the hand off his shoulder as he growled viciously at him, “Keep your god damn hands off me!!!! I will go back with you but you're not to touch me. Once I have settle my business with my father I'm coming back here to be with her.”

 

Inuyasha turned away as Shippo climbed on his shoulders and held on tight. They started heading for home at full speed. He needed to get home as soon as possible so he could return to be with his Kagome.

All right the end to another chapter. Hope you all liked it. Nope I never told you what kind of demon Miroku is. It's a secret. You have to wait for the later chapters to find out. All I can tell you is that Miroku is a special demon and the only one of his kind. I don't want to say more or I will give my story away.

 

Remember to leave me a review to tell me what you think.

 

Things are going to get heated between Inuyasha and his father. The wolf demons will make their appearance and what will they do? You have to wait to find out.

 

Until the next chapter!

 

Ja ne!!
