InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Bargaining Death ❯ Self Realization ( Chapter 8 )

AN you know the drill

Interesting comment: I agree things are moving a little fast but there is a reason for everything. Inuyasha has never experienced things like this before and he is going to remember things from when he was alive. Pertaining to who Kagome is. I don't really want to say much more without giving too much away.

Self Realization

~ Things are learned when one least expects it, and these things are not always for the better~

Holding hands, the duo walked from the beach and went to the art exhibition at the local Museum. A large banner read "Warlord Art of the Past"

"I have been meaning to come to see this showing. It's the last day for it to be in Tokyo before it goes to the states." Chirped Kagome, Inuyasha on the other hand feared entering. He had a bad feeling about this art exhibition, something was telling him to leave, but Kagome was looking forward to the showing.

"Inuyasha, are you ok. You haven't said one sarcastic comment in fifteen minutes."

"Oh. I'm fine. I'm just thinking about how perfect I am and how grateful you should be for me to care for you." For however, long I am left on this planet. I wonder how she will react when I have to tell he who I really am or what I really am. Why should I care she is a measly human and I will take her live like all the other's one day. I never found love in life why should I find it in death. "JERK!..." Before she could finish her retort they walked up to a tour guide who was discussing a painting behind him. "Psst. That one guy on the left looks a lot like you maybe he was your ancestor." "Probably" All of a sudden feelings and memories flooded Inuyasha's mind. Love, Hate, Joy, and lastly Death.

"This painting is of the two most ruthless warlords of the west. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha sons of Inu no Taishou. The princes reigned by instilling terror and fear in the hearts of all who lived in Japan. They were known for raping and pillaging small villages taking the women for their own desires. They posed under the guise of Samurai seeking refuge. They were known to some as the blood brothers. It was not until the younger of the two; Inuyasha, pictured here on the left met a young village priestess and fell in love with her. The village priestess Kikyo was willing to abandon her life of purity and rule alongside with Inuyasha if he was willing to stop his reign of terror and settle down with a family. Without realizing, the two lovers were being watched by the ruthless eye of Inuyasha's older brother Sesshoumaru, seen here on the right. Sesshoumaru confronted Inuyasha about his interlude and an argument ensued, Inuyasha was restrained while his priestess was captured and raped repeatedly by Sesshoumaru's henchman. When the two lovers stood trial both were found guilty of treason and beheaded. Inuyasha watched his priestess's life end and the blood flowed from her body and it was said that right before Inuyasha was beheaded he bargained death to live forever. That is only a Myth. If you look here to the left you can see the painting that Inuyasha had commissioned of Kikyo."

The woman bore a sickening resemblance to Kagome. Her eyes were downcast which gave her a saddened look. Kagome was shocked she did not know what to do. The man she had feelings for looked like the ruthless fiend in the painting and she looked like the monster's lover Kikyo. Inuyasha noticed her confusion. "Kagome, I can explain."

Kikyo and Inuyasha never had children so there was no way possible that her Inuyasha could be their descendent, and it was not everyday you would see a man with striking white hair and gold eyes. He couldn't be. It would be impossible, but it was said that he bargained death for life. Kagome ran from Inuyasha, she ran as fast as her legs could take her. She did not know where she was going until she ended up at a shrine. Fortunately, the shrine was owned by a friend of Kagome's grandfather and the one priest amorous and he was, was her friend. She could confide in Miroku and have him give her advice. Even though he was a pervert, he was her friend.

Ah well. I don't know where this is going to go from here. I still don't know how its gonna end so bare with me. Maybe it will become Miroku and Kagome. Just Kidding. Hehehehe. If you have any ideas or suggestions email me at luna_allison@hotmail.com or leave them in a review.
