InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Ai no Unmei ❯ Because of You ( Chapter 2 )

Thanks to popular demand, I have returned for a chapter two! Thanks to all of you who reviewed chapter one; and to my beta, demongoddessYume. Though I despise boy bands with a passion, I couldn't help but like this song, especially since it fit this fic so well. It's Because of You by 98 Degrees.

Chapter Two: Because of You

Disclaimer: You know the drill, I don't own, you don't sue.

(Cont'd from last chapter)

This was their fate. The inu-hanyou and miko reincarnate were finally together to spend their eternity.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

 

You're my sunshine after the rain

You're the cure against my fear and my pain

`Cause I'm losing my mind when you're not around

It's all (it's all) It's all because of you

 

Inuyasha watched the teary reunion between Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, and Kaede. Of course it was Kagome who was teary.

 

She had matured wonderfully, both mentally and physically in his eyes. Inuyasha had no idea that ten years could prove he had all of his heart belonging to the woman of Modern times.

 

Baby I really know by now

Since we met that day

You showed me the way

I felt it then you gave me love

I can't describe how much I feel for you

 

He remembered the day they first met, when she had freed him from the Goshinboku. He knew Kagome would be special but refused to think that after she reminded him so much of Kikyo.

 

Though now, Kagome reminded him nothing of his past love. Their differences were so distinct.

 

Kagome was cheerful and brought a smile to his face, and warmed his heart. Kikyo had always been serious and “dead”

 

Kagome always had an optimistic personality as Kikyo was somewhat pessimistic.

 

I said

Baby I should have known by now

Should have been right there

Whenever you gave me love

And if only you were here

I'd tell you (yes I'd tell you)

 

The one major difference between the two was that Kagome accepted him as a hanyou, while Kikyo asked him to become human for her. This trait was what had caused Inuyasha to love Kagome fully.

 

You're my sunshine after the rain

You're the cure against my fear and my pain

`Cause I'm losing my mind when you're not around

It's all (it's all) It's all because of you

 

Kagome laughed with Sango at a story she had just told about Sakura.

 

Sakura was Sango and Miroku's first child and was five years old. Their second child, Takuya, was three.

 

Kagome looked over to see Inuyasha staring at her. She motioned for him to come over and join in the conversation. Her stomach flipped and her heart skipped beats as her approached, so she couldn't help but smile.

 

Inuyasha reached his friends and held onto Kagome from behind.

 

Kagome tensed but relaxed as she leaned back onto Inuyasha's chest and held his arms closer to her waist.

 

“Amazing what a ten year gap can do,” Sango sighed, resting her head on Miroku's shoulder.

 

“What do you mean Sango-chan?” Kagome asked.

 

“You left for ten years, then you come back and your bond is greater than ever. Come now, you two are practically radiating your happiness and basking in it.”

 

“I guess so,” Kagome smiled. “Although the past ten years were hell for me, I don't think anyone could challenge my unhappiness.

 

“I probably could,” Inuyasha responded.

 

“It's true,” a full grown youkai form of Shippo backed. “He didn't even yell at me while I was still a young kitsune.”

 

“Hai, and he even put Kikyo to rest without hesitation.” Kaede added.

 

Honestly could it be you and me

Like it was before neither less or more

`Cause when I close my eyes

And then I realize that no one else

Could ever take your place

 

“You actually did that?” Kagome turned her head and looked up and Inuyasha.

 

“When you left, I felt as if the world had been taken from me, and no one but you could give it back to me.”

 

“We better check up on Sakura and Takuya.” Sango said quickly. She walked away briskly, dragging Miroku behind her as Kirara followed swiftly.

 

“I have to get more firewood.” Shippo added, though there was a prominent pile of wood beside Kaede's hut.

 

“And I must gather medicinal herbs…it looks like snow.” Kaede finished though it was mid-spring and the sky was cloudless.

 

“Well other than the fact our friends are acting strange right now…” Kagome turned to face the inu-hanyou she so loved.

 

Not letting go of her, Inuyasha sat on the log by the dormant fire pit. He set Kagome on his lap, and held her tighter. “I'll never let you go again,”

 

“And I'll never let you let go of me again,” Kagome replied before leaning in for a kiss.

 

I still can feel and it's so unreal

When you're touching me

Kisses endlessly

It's just a place in the sun

Where our love's begun

I miss you (yes I miss you)

 

“Now, I really do know how much I missed you.” Inuyasha murmured.

 

“It's probably not as much as I missed you,” Kagome whispered back.

 

“Yeah well…” he placed his forehead on hers.

 

Kagome giggled, “Aishiteru,”

 

“Aishiteru Kagome,”

 

You're my sunshine after the rain

You're the cure against my fear and my pain

`Cause I'm losing my mind when you're not around

It's all (it's all) It's all because of you

 

“I'll always be by your side so would you…”

 

If I knew

I'd tell you

What's on my mind

I'd make you understand

Then I'd always be there

Right by your side

 

“Be my mate?”

 

“Inuyasha…of course,”

 

You're my sunshine after the rain

You're the cure against my fear and my pain

`Cause I'm losing my mind when you're not around

It's all (it's all) It's all because of you
