Ai no Unmei

Inuyasha's Dark Angel

Romance/General

 

Thank you to everyone who reviewed last chapter!!!! I hope you enjoy this one.

 

Disclaimer: I don't own anything…the song used is Perfect Day by Clay Aiken.

 

I was fretting last night
Lost out in the cold
Couldn't see the light
Then she opened up the door
I came in from the dark
Fell into her arms
Just in time
Now I know that I
Left the past behind
We'll let it go

 

Here you lie so peacefully. As if you've not a care in the world. Even amidst all that's occurred within the past hours, you still find way to rest and relax. Though, I'm glad, for it seems you haven't been in a state such as this in all the years we've been apart. I know I couldn't halt my ever spinning nerves and thoughts until today when you returned and I could hold you in my arms again. I admit I'm still in shock about our reunion. Ten years had gone by so dreadfully and suddenly we're together and mated. Until this very moment, I didn't think I could ever be so doubtless, happy, and whole. I may have told you before that I wasn't supposed to be all at ease like how you made me…but now I regret those words. I am fully at ease now because I've come to learn and live life in different perspectives than I used to prior to you. I can only remember once when I felt like I do when I'm in your presence…no, it wasn't with Kikyo…I can't even believe I thought I loved her…it was when my mother was still alive and I was a child…shy and naïve, curious and defenseless. Upon her death, I began to shut everyone and everything out…and then you came along and opened me up little-by-little over time.

 

In many ways, you are much like my mother. You shed tears for my sake. You're always by my side, even if you're not physically there. You care for my well-being. You understand how I am and my way of life. You take pride in my accomplishments. You always forgive me, no matter how I've done wrong. You believe in me when no one else will. You're my hope, my salvation, my refuge, my peace…and now the carrier of my children…

You could tell me tonight
That maybe the world would end
That the sun wouldn't rise
And it was gonna rain again
Just as long as she's in my arms
It's gonna be a perfect day

It's still very early, yes, but I can already sense the new life growing within you. Just the thought of having a family is amazing…but having one with you makes it all the more incredible. I promise to be the best father to our pups and life-long companion to you. I'll teach our children to be strong and to not take that berating that others may bestow on them. I'll make sure they're obedient and good natured. I'll remind them to respect you above all others. But…I know I won't be able to teach them alone. You'll be there to show them kindness, caring, love, attention, understanding, and all those traits you are. You'll help them make friends with others of their age and teach them to find the true nature of people. Together we can do it…I have the faith in the both of us…you were the one who taught me faith…

 

You taught me everything I am today, my Kagome. It's because of you I am what I am. You really are the best thing that's ever happened to me. I have you to thank for practically everything in my life. You showed me friendship, pity, compassion, joy, life, and care…understanding, attention, and love…

There's a look in her eyes
Makes me feel alright
Lights the perfect sky
That I couldn't see before
That she helped me to find
Now that I've seen her shine
I know I'll never be alone

 

The seconds tick past slowly `til daybreak and I can hardly wait…I need to see your sparkling glance; the beauty of your eyes. I need to hear the crisp sweetness of your voice calling gently my name. I have to catch the glimpse of the smile that polishes your angelic appearance. Even though you're resting in my arms, I have to feel the curl of your fingers around mind and the tender warmth of your embrace. I suppose I just have to wait…

Cause now I know that I
Have love I can't deny
I won't let it go

 

What are you dreaming about? Your lips are curled into an intricate smile as a brief and contented sigh escapes you. Are you having the same thoughts as I, except in your subconscious? Are you thinking about what our offspring will be like and what their names will be? Do you suppose we'll have a balance between sons and daughters? As long as you're pleased, I am as well. As long as we both shall live, I'll love you forever…my lovely, sleeping angel…

 

You could tell me tonight
That maybe the world would end
That the sun wouldn't rise
And it was gonna rain again
Just as long as she's in my arms
It's gonna be a perfect day
It's gonna be a perfect day

(Normal P.O.V.)

 

Inuyasha fell asleep slowly, letting his thoughts go to rest. The dawn took it's time coming, allowing for the newly branded couple to remain in their bliss for a short time longer. The gods and external forces had their way of noticing how peaceful the mates were in their slumber, and how content they seemed there on their perch in the Sacred Tree. Although, even in their waking hours they'd be content just for the fact that they had each other…ah, to be young (figuratively speaking for Inuyasha) and in love.

 

For the first time in years…a decade to be exact…the forest was calm because its namesake was at peace. Not even the wind appeared to stir within this new blanket of hope and compassion. A mystical sentiment had settled with the return of the miko reincarnation and the mating of she and the recently comforted inu-hanyou, and it was sure to remain as long as the duo were together.

Think I lost you in another life
A part of me that I left behind
I won't go on without you
And now I know that I
Have put the past behind
I let it go

 

 

Some where else, far away, a smile graced the pale face of a woman lost long ago. She was glad that Inuyasha had finally found someone to share a life with. He deserved to be happy after all those years of solitude and confinement within himself. She was proud of her son…

 

“Izayoi,” a deep intonation bellowed. He wrapped his vaporous arms around the ethereal woman and took note of the grin beset upon her features. “What are you in such cheer about?”

 

“Look,” She pointed to the sight so far away but seemed so close.

 

Inu no Taishou looked onto where his second mate's finger was pointed. He too smiled at his son with his new mate, resting ever so serenely. If only his eldest son could find the same happiness as his younger brother…but something told him Sesshomaru was well on his way to that fulfillment via his young girl companion…(but that will be saved for another story to come).

You could tell me tonight
That maybe the world would end
That the sun wouldn't rise
And it was gonna rain again
Just as long as she's in my arms
It's gonna be a perfect day

 

As the hours passed until the sun's rising Inuyasha and Kagome's dreams were filled with visions of the future…the eternity to come…of their friends…their soon-to-be family…the beauty of their home…the evolution of themselves…although, for now, the coming day would be enough. As long as they had each other, they'd live long, proud, and compassionate lives…

You could tell me tonight
That maybe the world would end
That the sun wouldn't rise
And it was gonna rain again
Just as long as she's in my arms
It's gonna be a perfect day

 

It's gonna be a perfect day

A/N: Well there you have chapter four of Ai no Unmei. I hope you enjoyed it…I just noticed that it's a bit repetitive…but it's your call. I think there'll be a few more chapters and then this fic is going away, forever locked into my vault of semi-successful fan fictions. Reviews please…thank you in advance. Until next,
