InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Bargaining Death ❯ Friendly Advice ( Chapter 9 )

AN you know the drill

An interesting comment: someone suggested that I should involve the whole shikon jewel thing. I am honestly steering clear of it because it complicates things. Inuyasha's situation is a lose-lose situation. The only way he can get out of his job is if someone is willing to take his place that's how he got the job in the first place. She also doesn't technically know he is death yet. She just thinks he is some way related to the person in the picture but she doesn't exactly know. He also fell in love with her because somewhere in his mind he thought she was Kikyo and she is in turn Kikyo's reincarnation. It was not an accident that they fell for each other so quickly. I guess you could call them soul mates in a sense. Miroku is going to talk to Inuyasha also. That's all I know so far

Kagome ran up the shrine steps only to be greeted by a flirtatious monk "Kagome what do I owe this great honor?"

"Miroku do you know anything about the blood brothers?" Miroku's family had a long history across Japan. Many of Miroku's ancestors served the warlords of the area.

"Why do you ask Kagome? Are you finally applying for graduate school?"

"No Miroku, just tell me what you know, I don't really feel like getting into it right at the moment, just tell me what you know about the blood brothers."

"Come inside and I'll make you some tea, there should be a book about them around here somewhere. Oh, are you asking because of the art exhibition that is in town? Oh here it is."

"Sorta so what do you know about them?" Miroku brought to book over to Kagome who was sitting at a low table. He asked one of the shrine boys to go fetch Kagome and he some tea.

"My namesake served the two brother's as an advisor. The brothers hated each other immensely; the older one Sesshoumaru was the ruthless one. He was the one known for killing humans indiscriminately. He would go into an enemy village, kill the villagers, and take what he wanted while his servants raped and decimated the humans in other ways. Sesshoumaru had a strong distaste for humans and Inuyasha his half brother was half human. Their father Inu no Taishou took a human princess as his lover after Sesshoumaru's mother passed away. If you look here this is a picture of Inu no Taishou and Izayoi. Inu no Taishou died shortly after Inuyasha's birth. While he lived with his

mother he wanted to be a samurai and live a life of honor and bring honor back to his family. Unfortunately, his mother died while he was still younger and his brother took over caring for him. Initially Sesshoumaru tried to make instill his values on Inuyasha but he fought Sesshoumaru at every turn. His mother was human so he had more compassion towards humans. Sesshoumaru on the other hand thought his father was weak because he took a human into his bed. Inuyasha was forced to endure watching the slaughter of innocent humans to condition him into a proper demon.

Inuyasha watched many people die and when his inner demon was roused he would kill uncontrollably or until he died first. He fell in love with a girl from an enemy village that looks something like you if you look at this picture here, it was unsure whether she returned his feelings, she was a priestess and he was a hanyou after all. It was her duty to kill him on sight, however she didn't. According to legend, they had quite the interlude resulting in both of their deaths. It is said that he bargained death in order to live and seek revenge on his brother. But, people can't bargain death in order to live. Did that answer your question Kagome?"

"Um..Well what if I said I met Inuyasha?" fear crossed Kagome's face.

"What do you mean? You met Inuyasha? He died centuries ago that's not possible."

"Um..Well one day this guy showed up at our shrine claiming to be Ruri's grandson and he said that he would be helping out at the shrine for a while. He looks just like Inuyasha from the picture and I got so scared and I ran away."

"Kagome it's ok you over reacted I am sure this is all just a coincidence. I have some free time coming to me and I would definitely like to check out the ladies in Tokyo so how about I stop by and visit?"

"That would be good Miroku thanks." Kagome gave Miroku a hug only to get her bottom groped.

THWACK!

"Miroku you pervert, you know better than that. I'll see you in a few days. Bye"

Kagome exited the shrine finding Inuyasha standing at the bottom of the steps with a guilty look in his face "Kagome I can explain."

"I should be the one explaining. I freaked out and ran away for no reason. I am sure this whole thing is a freak coincidence that's all. Lets go home I am sure grandpa and mama are waiting for us."

"You know what Kagome I have a few things to take care of why don't I meet you back at the house later?"

"Um sure that's fine. If you get lost call ok."

The two walked in separate directions.
