Episode 19: Moonlight of Eternal Love

"The Priestess and the Warrior rest and baske in the glow of they're eternal love… the eternal moonlight shines down upon them and blesses they're union… yet, are they the only ones who feel at peace during this night of serenity?" - Unknown

*The Modern Era*

It was midnight and the moon was out, it was almost full moon which meant it would be Inuyasha's human night soon so that meant they would stay here at the modern era for a few more days.

Right now though, both Inuyasha and Kagome were on the roof of the shrine, they were naked but they had a blanket covering both of them as they held one another, with Kagome at Inuyasha's lap as they watched the stars together… they had awoken earlier that evening from a well earned and much needed sleep and had made something to eat, neither had bothered to put on any clothing since they were alone and Inuyasha could either hear or smell if anyone came near the shrine and… both just wanted to look at one another in they're natural state, it was hard to explain but they just wanted to stay like that, naked for each other to see.

After eating it had gotten dark and since neither wasn't tired one bit they had first taken a blanket with them and had went onto the roof to look at the stars and the moon, to Kagome it was most likely the most romantic thing to have happened… and it was all the more perfect it was Inuyasha who she shared it with right now…

Inuyasha too was feeling the perfection in this scene, having Kagome on his lap like this and just looking at the night sky held such an immense serene atmosphere in it that it made his You-ki settle down completely, he felt so completely at peace and for the first time in his life, his entire being all the way to the very core of his soul was completely calm… this was the feeling that he had been searching all his life, since he was a hanyou he could never be fully at ease or feel peaceful since he had to fight every single day in order to survive… becoming full demon was the way for him to gain that feeling of peace but after his transformations he knew that if he became full demon he would lose the ability to feel anything, except the unnaturally huge urge to kill anything that breathed and if he had become fully human for Kikyo then he would always feel powerless and unable to protect those he loved… but now, now it was different.

With Kagome at his side like this, he was at peace, he had found that calm state of mind and soul he had always looked for… he berated himself mentally a bit for not realising it sooner, it had taken him 4 freaking years to realise it... that little rat, Shippo was right when he called him slow witted moron all those times.

But none of that mattered now, all that mattered was that he held this one woman he loved in his arms like this, she was his and he was hers… she was his life, the very reason he continued to exist now, if something were to happen to her he would first kill whoever was responsible for it and then… then he would end his own life, since a life without her was no life at all.

The serene moment was broken when Kagome murmured while nuzzling her head against his chest: "Inu… we will be together forever… won't we?" Inuyasha just purred and answered: "Of course we will, why do you ask, mate?" Kagome stayed silent for a little moment before slowly lifting her head to look at him in the eyes and asked again, this time a bit more worried: "But… what happens when he comes back?" That made Inuyasha's eyes widen with realisation, he completely forgot about that… Kasaraki, that super strong son of a bitch… last time he nearly killed and would have succeeded too had it not been for Kagome's and Kikyo's interference, he would come back and when that happened… could he really win? His mind still replayed the image of his =Kaze no Kizu= Combating against =Kuroi Kaze no Jigoku=… the difference in power was just too immense, while he had nearly dropped dead from exhaustion after using it, Kasaraki was just getting warmed up… next time, he might not be so lucky and…

As he looked at Kagome's face, her eyes showing the worry and fear of losing him… those two things, those two feelings were the one thing he never wanted to see in her eyes ever again… `What am I thinking?! Of course I'll live through it… I must and I will live, even if my opponent is that infernal monster, I will live for her no matter what!' And with that he answered her while putting one of his arms around her neck: "When that happens, I'll kick his ass from where he stands to the other end of Japan, because nothing and I mean NOTHING will ever beak us apart ever again… remember, mate, as long as you are alive I will not die, you are the reason I fight and live now… because without you, my life is not worth living… you're everything to me know, Kagome." With that, he pulled her into a deep yet tender kiss.

Kagome's eyes widened at first, from both his words and the sudden kiss, yet it took her less than 2 seconds to relax and wrap her own arms around his neck to both lean in and deepen the kiss further, she felt so relieved and calm… his words rang in her mind over and over again, he sounded to sincere… his voice hadn't held any of that arrogance or cockiness it always held but instead it had held nothing but what he honestly felt, nothing else, just what he was feeling at that moment. Not to mention the kiss was deep but it wasn't rushed, instead he was simply assuring her through his actions that he was there and wouldn't go anywhere…

As the kiss ended, Kagome's eyes were literally shimmering with the happiness she felt, she knew Inuyasha would not leave her, she just wanted to hear him say it to ease her slowly growing fears… and it worked, hearing him say all those words took away even the tiniest amount of fear she had felt, now she only felt his presence around her, the bond between them was now at it's strongest and both of them felt like the moon and stars had stopped moving just to gaze down upon them…

Inuyasha then slowly lifted her up bridal style, the blanket covering her completely as he slowly made his way down from the roof of the shrine and slid through her bedroom window without a word and placed her onto the bed before unwrapping the blanket covering her naked form from his eyes.

As he slid on top of her, they never broke eye contact with one another… they wanted to forever just drown themselves into the feelings they're eyes showed to one another, to just hold onto each other like this without any worries in the world… though at this moment neither felt any worries at all, nothing would disrupt this moment, nothing would make this sanctuary of they're go away now… this was they're moment of love and not even the gods would disturb it now.

As the moonlight shined through the window upon the two of them, making it look like they were closed within a diamond of light, Kagome slowly entwined one of his hands fingers with his clawed ones and after they took a firm yet gentle grip from one another she said while nuzzling her face against his neck and closing her eyes: "Make love to me… I need to feel you now, mate." Those words made Inuyasha shiver slightly, especially since she called him her mate… this was the first time she did so now that he closely thought about it, so who was he to deny her?

He pushed up so he could see her face, her eyes held all the love and need she felt for him and that was it for him, he smiled and said as her legs slowly wrapped around his waist: "I will, mate… though after I'm through with you tonight, you won't be able to walk straight tomorrow…" he finished with a toothily grin.

Kagome just smiled and as he slowly pushed into her, making her moan and gasp she thought as the pleasure filled her mind and body: `We are one now, as long as I can be with him… I need nothing else either from this world…'

And so, the warrior and the priestess consumed they're love through the night… over and over, again and again… until the sun was starting to peek from the horizon…

(Sorry to all you Lemon fans, not now.)

*The Feudal era*

`It is true what they say: "The simplest things in life bring you the most satisfaction."… hehehe…' Thought Kasaraki as he was relaxing in a hot spring in the middle of the night.

He had been walking for god knows how long after his little meal earlier today and was really frustrated… before he left from that battlefield with Inuyasha, he should have asked for some bloody directions, since he had no idea at all whatsoever where the nearest town was, he knew there had been a village nearby but he figured that it was the village where they were staying so going there might have been a rather bad idea.

But now he regretted not asking for directions since he was… least to say, completely lost and had no idea whatsoever where he was, fucking brilliant. He had wondered the road at first but after not meeting anyone on the road he had decided to wonder through these woods, since he had had no idea where to go he had just went somewhere, luckily for him he had found this hot spring and least to say, the urge to take a nice dip into it had been far too overwhelming to resist, since it had been over 3000 years since his last bath of any kind and this was a natural hot spring… well, it took him less than ten seconds to get rid of his clothing and dive into it.

Kasaraki was now leaning against the bank of the spring and was gazing at the almost full moon in the sky, the stars twinkling all around it and the great darkness of the night sky glowed with the lights of stars and the moon… he smiled and closed his eyes for a moment, he had always loved moments like these when nature was at it's fullest bloom of beauty… no artificial beauty or man made beauty, just nature as it is.

The feeling of the hot springs water around him and the serenity of the night where making his entire being feel at ease… it was always times like these he always cherished and enjoyed to the fullest since in this chaotic world it is so hard to find inner peace anymore.

He held his eyes closed as his relaxed mind started to wander back into the old days… or to be precise, to the day and the words that started all this… maybe, maybe if he had not said those words during that time, maybe just then… things might have been different…

*Flashback, unknown time period*

Bodies…bodies were everywhere, no matter where he looked there were bodies… bodies of people and Youkai alike, his eyes trembled with suppressed self hatred he was holding, his entire being was pulsing with the hatred for the unfairness and senselessness of this situation… he was currently crouching down and was while one of his hands was clutching onto the Mormegail his left hand was picking up a wooden toy that looked like a small soldier, right next to the toy was a small human boy who was dead, a stray arrow had hit the boy right into the heart so the death had been painless and instant… this only fuelled the already overflowing frustrated anger and hatred inside of him, the fury he was holding had at first been nothing but a small thing at the back of his head but now it was growing too much for him to control… his hand was pressing the toy so hard it would break but he couldn't break it, he felt that if he broke it then the boy who it belonged to would be lost forever to the afterlife.

He couldn't help but think just how insane all this is, this was supposed to be a simple battle… just a small skirmish to eliminate some people who believed in the wrong god and were forcing that belief on others… blaa blaa blaa… the battle went alright, but just when he and his comrades were pulling out, then suddenly another group from they're own side arrives and starts killing the villagers for no reason.

It had happened so fast, so fast he didn't have time to do anything except watch as innocent people were cut down like pests… then when it was over he demanded to know just what the fuck was this all about and he received a simple answer: "Because they had been tainted and had to be cleansed."

That group was now gone and they had been left in charge of disposing of the `tainted' corpses… that was why he was now looking at the little boys body… his mind being filled with thoughts about just how insane this situation was, it made no sense at all to him… none of this slaughter made sense to him… what was so wrong about believing in something different? What had this little boy done to deserve to be killed like this? This child had been innocent and they had taken his chances of having a future away in a heartbeat… it made him feel so mad it was painful.

That was when one of his fellow soldiers came to him and said: "Kasaraki, we need to dispose of that body now, please move…" That was when something in his head snapped, instead of moving away, he just slowly got up and said: "Why…? Why does it need to be disposed instead of being buried?" His voice had sounded so cold when he asked that, so cold he couldn't believe it was his own voice.

The fellow soldier was taken back by his words, Kasaraki was known to be one of the most elite soldiers around and he never really questioned orders… so what was wrong with him? But he replied anyway: "You know why, it has been `tainted' and will not be given the blessings of a burial… it is the way the gods have determined it." That was the final straw, something snapped in his head again…

He suddenly turned around and literally roared with eyes that held more fury than anything anyone had ever seen before and his voice sounded like an echo from hell itself: "Because the gods had determined it!? What part of this is pointless slaughter is the will of the gods!? This little boy was innocent! He had done nothing that would label him as tainted and yet now he is dead because GODS decided it to be so!?!? What about the boys will? What about his dreams? His hopes, his life… his soul itself!? Are those so meaningless to the gods that they would take the life of an innocent child because the people around him do not share our belief of our god?!!? Is this what we are to the gods, nothing but playthings they can do with as they please while our opinions, protests, lives or even our will does not matter anything at all?!? Are nothing but puppets they play with and break… without ever thinking about how WE feel about it?!"

That had made everyone who had been disposing the bodies simply freeze and look at him with horror, curiousness and also with disbelief… Kasaraki, the one soldier who had always followed the will of they're god without questions had just said something so… blasphemous? Yet, no matter how much the people there tried to den it… his words held truth in them, as scary and blasphemous as it sounds… his main question was true: "Just what are we to the gods?" But what really had frightened everyone at that moment… it was both his voice and the look of absolute cold fury in his eyes…

*End flashback*

Kasaraki sighed, that moment… when he closely thought about it, that had been the moment everything had slowly began to change for him, the very moment that started the chain of events that lead to this point…

He thought to himself: `If only I hadn't said those things… if that moment could be changed, would things be different? Would they be better or worse for me… for everyone I knew?' That was when he felt something stirring inside of him, he placed his hand over his heart as a woman's voice talked to him inside his head: `Kasaraki? Are you alright? Your heart is filling with… doubt…' Kasaraki chuckled to himself before mentally responding: `Don't worry, I just had a weak moment there… and I know the answer to it, if I had not said those things, I would never have learned what I know now and…well, things are hard… no, they are downright unbearable at times but if I were to quit now… well, let's just say that my enemies would have a field day, and I am not going to give them that satisfaction…'

The voice then said: `Kasaraki, I am sorry that I pulled you into this… but, I cannot do this by myself, i am not like I used to be and…' Kasaraki then answered: `Shhh… don't say another word, okay? I knew when I accepted this that the burden would be enormous and it would lead into more grief than I can imagine but… damn, it still hurts… I still cannot understand why they betrayed me? Why…? We shared the same dream, we pushed towards the same goal and yet… yet, at the most critical moment they turned on me, where did I go wrong? What did I do…?' Then suddenly, he felt someone touch his shoulder, instantly his eyes snapped open and he smiled at what he saw. To his left, there sat a very beautiful woman… her hair was shiny black, her skin that of beautifully white, her eyes were greyish black and she had elf like ears…

She was completely naked but her body… her body lacked the things that would make her a mortal, for instance, it was her breasts, they were there but had no nipples… it was just skin, just like the between of her legs… she had no belly button either… this woman was named Shizena and she was... no, Kasaraki wasn't going to think about that, to him, she was the one who opened his eyes to the truth, the truth about everything and changed him, it had brought much pain to him, more pain than he could bear sometimes but he would not regret it since... since without her his life would have been just another meaningless one.

Kasaraki placed his arm onto hers and said with his voice this time: "Sorry... i got sentimental there, i still can't fully control my feelings or my mind since the effects of being sealed for so long haven't fully left me yet." His voice sounded warm, like a normal human's voice...

Shizena looked at him and smiled herself, she then slowly placed her palm over his heart, her touch was so soft that no normal being could be able to feel it, yet he felt it... she then said while still smiling: "You're heart is so strong Kasaraki... a heart like this is only born once in an eternity, yet it is so full of pain and sadness..." Kasaraki put his other hand onto her cheek, the feeling of her ghostly skin was so soft... like he was touching a cloud... he then said: "A person with a dark soul, yet a strong heart, what a combination eh?" Both chuckled at this, after that he said again: "You should go back now, Shizena... if `they' find out about you, i don't even dread to think what would happen..." Shizena said to him with another smile: "Kasaraki, your concern for others despite the pain in your heart is so amazing... (Grips the point of his heart gently) The person who someday might capture your heart... i envy her, i really do." With that, she faded like a wind and Kasaraki could feel something warm filling up his chest again, he then said as he slowly got up from the spring: "But... i wonder if there is a woman out there who would stick by me if she knew what my dream and goal is in this world..."

To be continued...
