Chapter 15: Destined To Die (Revised)

 

 

 

Kagome woke up to Inuyasha's heavy panting and his moans of pain. She quickly crawled over to him and felt his forehead. She sighed in relief when she felt it was cool to the touch. She then unwrapped his wound and peered at it intently, looking for any signs of infection.

Not finding any she laid her hands above the still gapping hole, and concentrating her energy, she started to heal Inuyasha's torn muscles. She was almost finished when Inuyasha's body jerked. Quickly averting her eyes to Inuyasha's face, she found her self-staring into two dazed brown eyes.

She shuddered a bit when a flash back of two nights ago ran through her mind.

`Even though I know he didn't know what he was doing, I can't get over the fear that he will attack me. I cannot trust him as I used to.'

She thought, sadly, lowering her eyes back to her work.

`I just wish none of this ever happened, I wish I was still fighting with him to go back home, anything is better then this feeling I have when I am with him…I fear him, for once in the time that I've known him, I fear him.'

Kagome let a sigh escape her frowning lips. When she could do no more she leaned back in exhaustion, still not looking Inuyasha in the eye.

`I still love him, but I…I don't trust him as I used to…I can't get rid of this panic; I feel when he looks at me.'

Kagome turned towards the only window in the room, to see that the sun was already beginning it's ascent into the sky.

Taking a deep breath, Kagome calmed her nerves and then turned towards Inuyasha just in time to see the glow start to form around him.

Inuyasha's hair changed from ebony locks to shining silver strands, then his brown eyes turned to the golden eyes she loved so much.

Once the transformation was done, Inuyasha turned his gaze to Kagome. Kagome got to her feet and took a hesitant step back, and then lowered herself to the soft earth again.

Inuyasha's eyes shifted slightly as he saw her step away from him.

He lowered his head, his silver bangs hiding his saddened eyes.

`She does not trust me anymore, she is afraid of me…'

“Inuyasha, how do you feel?” Kagome questioned, her eyes locked on her hands that were in her lap.

Inuyasha cocked his head slightly and then he tried to sit up, but immediately lay back down when he felt a jolt of pain go through his body like lightning. Groaning in pain his clawed hand flew to his chest.

“I wouldn't try sitting up just yet, even though I've mostly healed you're wound, there is still things that are not yet healed completely.” Kagome stated quietly.

Inuyasha turned his head to Kagome again, his eyes aflame with pain and confusion.

“Since when do you have the power to heal?”

“I have a lot to discuss with you, but I will talk with you after you eat.”

Kagome then got to her feet and padded quietly to the door, slide it open, and walked out.

Inuyasha could hear her walk into another room and then he heard Shippou cry out her name, followed by Miroku's worried voice.

Inuyasha turned his attention back to his chest. He unwrapped the bandage around his torso, and studied his wound intently.

The skin was slight shade of pink but other then that he saw no other sign that there was a whole through his chest a couple of hours ago.

`This wound would have taken me at least a week to recover from, but Kagome healed it in a night. How is that possible, and how can she heal in the first place.'

He was brought back from his thoughts by the sound of Kagome closing the shouji.

She walked over to him and stopped a couple of feet away form him.

As if deciding something, she shook her head, and walked the rest of the way towards him. She knelt down and giving him the steaming bowl in her hands, she then checked the now exposed wound.

“The wound is healing nicely, at least it doesn't have poison in it anymore.” Kagome sighed in relief.

Once she was done checking his wound over, she quickly got to her feet and walked over to the window.

Inuyasha followed her with his eyes, picking up every movement and expression that past over her face.

The little room was silent for a while, no one knowing what to say to the other.

Finally Inuyasha spoke up.

“Kagome you said you had things to tell me? What are they? And how can you have the healing power now?”

Kagome turned from the window and sank to the ground. She rested her chin on her knees, thinking of how to explain everything to Inuyasha.

“Hai, I have a lot to talk to you about.”

She paused for a minute thinking of how to start.

“I've been having strange dreams lately.” She started slowly.

“All of them have been about you, two nights ago, I had a dream that you…you said you loved me, but then you turned into a full demon, and just when you were going to lunge at me I woke up. Strangely that is sort of what did happen two nights ago.”

Kagome paused letting Inuyasha digest the information that she had just given him.

“Then yesterday when I was resting I had another dream, that I woke up in a clearing naked and you and Kikyou where there, Kikyou told you to get rid of me and so you were just about to, but someone from behind me shot me with an arrow and it went right through my chest. Just before I lost consciousness I heard a voice talking to me. It was my mother, she told me that I had to defeat a great evil and that the evil she spoke of was my…father.”

Inuyasha's eyes widened in shock and then narrowed in suspicion.

“How do you know that Naraku isn't sending you these visions? This could all be a trick to lure us to him…”

“No!” Kagome interrupted.

“I know for a fact that it was my mother and my dreams are warnings of what will happen in the future, the first dream was enough proof of that.”

“Still it doesn't make sense, how can your father be in this time period?”

Inuyasha said more to himself then to Kagome.

“The only way he can be alive in this time is if he is a demon, he wouldn't be able to go through the well, not even my brother was able to get through, even with the shards.”

`Now here comes the hard part.'

Kagome took a calming breath.

“And since my father is a demon, that means that I am half demon, half miko.” She finished.

Inuyasha gaped at Kagome in disbelief.

“You cant be a hanyou…if you were I would have smelled it on you…” Inuyasha trailed off.

“I don't know why, but my demon blood was sealed and for some reason, something has broken the seal. So now with every minute that goes by my powers are growing, both my miko powers and my demon abilities.”

“So that's how you are able to heal now…”

Inuyasha said more as a statement then a question.

“But how is this all possible? This whole thing is so confusing… are you sure that this isn't the work of Naraku? This can be just one of his tricks…”

A small frown started to tug at the corners of her mouth.

“Inuyasha I'm just as confused as you are with this whole situation. I don't believe this to be Naraku's work, he isn't as stealthy as this, and all of this has nothing to do with the jewel shards.”

“But why are we dealing with this if it doesn't have to do with the jewel shards?”

“For Kame's sake I just found out I have to kill my own father! And to top it all off I'm a demon! Can you imagine how I feel right about now? Why is everything you think of about the damn Jewel Shards?”

Kagome yelled, letting all her frustration, worry, pain, and confusion poor out of the tight hold she had them on.

Kagome lowered her eyes staring sadly at the ground; she was quiet for a while, trying to compose her self again.

“Do you remember what happened that night?”

Inuyasha turned his gaze to the window, his golden eyes glazed as he tried to remember as much as he could.

“No I don't, the last thing I remember is going into the forest and then I blacked out.”

`He doesn't remember ever saying those things to me…he doesn't remember kissing me. Then I was right the curse was the cause of all this, I wish he did remember what he said to me in the clearing.'

Kagome closed her eyes, blocking Inuyasha's view of her pain filled eyes.

Inuyasha gazed at Kagome worriedly.

“I'm sorry for…what I did to you…I would never hurt you on purpose, you know that, right Kagome?”

Kagome shook her head.

“No I don't know that… you've already hurt me plenty of times when you were aware of it.” She trailed off turning her head back to the window.

“But my feelings aren't the issue right now, it's what I have to do about my father, and my awaking powers that is the issue.”

Kagome said changing the subject as quickly as she could.

Inuyasha could tell she didn't want to say anymore on what happened between them that night. No matter how curious he was he would respect her wishes.

“Are you sure you have demon blood…”

“Hai, Kouga detected it, but if you don't believe me you could check and see yourself.”

Inuyasha nodded and then took a deep breath. After a couple of minutes of silence, Kagome heard a surprised gasp come from Inuyasha. She looked up and saw him staring at her intently.

Just as she was about to ask what he was staring at she felt an intense pain shoot through her body and then she collapsed into darkness.

 

 

She could hear the soft breeze stirring the grass around her body and sweep across her face.

She slowly cracked her sorrel eyes opened, afraid of what she might see. But what she saw was the total opposite of what she expected.

She sat up and looked around at her surroundings.

It was nighttime and it was a full moon, there was a lake in front of her, the water rippling when the breeze stroked it, the moons silvery light reflecting off the waters surface. Trees surrounded the lake and there were white flowers all around her, their petals reaching for the light of the moon, as if to touch it.

“It's so beautiful,” she whispered.

“It is isn't it?…”

Kagome gasped in surprise and spun around, to find herself face to face with her mother.

“Mom what are you doing here, where is here exactly?”

“I am only here in your dreams, I have come to answer your questions.”

“Oh this is only a dream? I wish this place where real.”

“Oh it is but it is hard to find, and that is why it is untouched by both human and youkai influence.”

“Mother, why didn't you tell me I was a demon?”

“I wanted you to live a normal life. That's why I sealed your demon side.”

“You sealed my demon side? But how?” Kagome questioned in confusion.

Kagome's mother chuckled and then gracefully sank to her knees, patting the soft earth next to her in invitation.

Once Kagome was settled next to her she turned towards her daughter.

“Let me start at the beginning.”

She began, turning her gaze up to the silvery moon.

“When I was about twenty two, I meet your father, I instantly fell in love with him. But he was not all I thought her was. After I conceived you, I found out that he was a demon, and since I was a miko, I didn't know if I could bare having a demon child, but I finally found something that convinced me to keep you.”

She paused and lowered her eyes to stare at the lake.

“I found an incantation that could seal your demon side all together, leaving no trace of your demon blood or powers, but in doing so I also sealed most of your miko power.”

She began again, her eyes glittering in the moonlight.

“Once your father found out what I had done, he left me.

That was the last I saw of him. A couple of years after your birth I found out he had been killed by another demon, but even till this day I don't know which.”

Kagome bowed her head trying to digest all of the information her mother was giving her.

`This is the most she has ever talked to me about my father.'

“What kind of demon was my father?”

“He was mostly a fox youkai, but he was a rare kind, he had both fox and Inu blood in him.” She answered quietly.

Kagome looked up at the silvery moon.

“So that means I am both a fox and Inu youkai and half miko?”

“Yes, but let me get on with my story, I don't have much time left.”

She said hurriedly.

“The year of your 15th birthday, I knew something was going o happen to change your life, and indeed it did. That is why I let you go to the feudal era so easily; I knew it was your fate to go. But now I fear that my sealing spell has either worn off or something, or someone has taking the spell off of you.”

“What makes you think that someone took the spell off?”

“Because that incantation was for life, a spell like that does not wear off.”

“Oh well what's the difference now that I have more power I can help defeat both my father and Naraku.”

Kagome's mother shook her head sadly.

“No Kagome, you will have to defeat your father on your own, you cannot allow Inuyasha to interfere.”

“Why?” Kagome questioned.

“Because he will destroy Inuyasha.”

“What? How?”

“I cannot tell you the answer of what you ask, but please head this warning.”

Kagome nodded her head.

“But mother, what does my father do exactly that is so evil?”

“He is the cause for the destruction of almost every youkai that existed.”

“But isn't that a good thing?” Kagome asked in confusion.

“Yes but in killing all youkai he also destroyed most of the human race, and not to mention he was an apprentice of Naraku.”

Kagome's jaw went slack in shock.

“But he will be the one who kills Naraku, and by now he probably already has.”

“What!? You mean he killed Naraku? Then that means he is more powerful then Naraku, and we had a hard time just trying to get past Naraku's demons let alone fight him one on one.”

Kagome said even more stunned.

“Yes your father was a powerful demon and he knew it. That power filled his mind and even though he tried to do good by killing the youkai in this world, his mind became filled with lust for more power. So eventually he started to take the souls of every demon he killed in doing so he stole their power.”

“But how did doing this kill most of the human race?”

“Once all the youkai were gone he started taking human souls.”

“That's terrible, all those poor humans that couldn't move on into the afterlife.”

“Hai, it is very sad, but even though in our time this has already come to pass, it is a different dimension.”

“What? So this didn't happen in our time? Or did it?”

“Kagome, time travel and the things surrounding it is very confusing and I won't even try to explain it to you, but just know that you cant let it happen in this dimension, it is your fate to stop this.”

Kagome's mother stopped and turned towards her daughter.

“Kagome you cant let this happen! Stop him before this happens, it has already started by him killing Naraku, and the next demon he is after is most likely going to be either Sesshoumaru or Inuyasha.”

“Why them?”

“Because that is where he will get most of his power from, and will do it for revenge. He has a deep hatred for both of the Inu brothers.”

“Why what did they do to him?”

“Its not what they did exactly its mostly what they didn't do.”

Her mother trailed off.

“Daughter I have to go, my time is up here, I will come to you when you need me, and when you wake up you will find that your appearance has changed.”

“What do you mean my appearance?”

But she never got an answer only a goodbye in the wind.
