InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Destined Love ❯ It Begins ( Chapter 34 )

Now i know it's been a while since i wrote last but trust me there was nothing i could do to make the writing come any faster... I've had a horrible last few months except for a few people.... ok mainly one. Now i know a lot of you are angry because of the lack of updates but i can explain why i haven't been able to. Just before Christmas my BF of 4 years broke up with me, now there was a lot of nasty things that he did after that but i wont go into those, but I've been going through a lot of hurt these past few months because of him.

 

Now if you're wondering who the one person who has made my last few months bearable it's actually my current love interest, he helped me through a lot of what happened and has been a really caring throughout this whole thing. But just know this readers, i am back now and the story shall continue! We have less than 10 chapters left and then it's all done i know at the end of the last chapter i said only 3-4 but i decided to extend it as a sorry to everyone *cries*.

 

Well here it is! The next chapter... and the beginning of the Final Battle....

 

 

Chapter 33 - It Begins

 

 

Kagome shivered as she tried to keep warm by the small camp fire she built, she had taken shelter from the rain in a small cave and was now trying her best to dry off; It had been two days since she had seen any of them... since she had seem him.

Kagome sighed, “Just how long do you plan on following me?” she asked glaring at the entrance to the cave in aggravation.

Toshiro chuckled, “As long as it takes for it to no longer be thought of as following, but as traveling companion”.

“You're not my traveling companion,” she growled out and looked away, “I don't need anyone.” she whispered to herself.

“Now, now why so distant?” he asked as he came further forward, “A companion is a wonderful thi...” he was abruptly cut off.

“Come any closer and I'll purify you where you stand.” Kagome hissed as her eyes flashed pink as she glared at him.

“Calm down there,” he said putting his arms up as a sign of defeat and backed away. 'this is going to be harder than i thought' he silently pondered as he mentally glared at the woman who was casting daggers into his skull with her eyes.

Suddenly his eyes lit with an idea, 'lets try this a different way,' he though grinning to himself, “He hurt you didn't he?” he whispered.

“Wha...What?” Kagome stuttered eyes going wide as she stared at him.

“That demon, the Inu-youkai; he hurt you didn't he” he asked.

“I don't want to talk about it.” She whispered, “I never want to see him again.”

“Then don't.” He simply stated with a shrug.

“I Can't! I have a duty to fulfill! I NEED to see him again in the final battle against Naraku!” she was standing by now, tears streaming down her face.

'Bingo!' he thought to himself his eyes flashing, now was his chance, “You don't have to you know...” he began, “see him i mean, i could always help you.”

“But you have nothing to do with this! You're an innocent in all of this i don't want to get you involved!” she cried at him.

He took a step forward, and another until he was standing in front of her, “But i want to help,” he whispered as he put his arms around her. She stiffened from the contact, when had he gotten so close? But eventually relaxed into his hold and continued to cry.

“I can't ask you to do this, you really are innocent in all this and a good man.” She whispered after she had calmed down; but because her head was on his chest as she cried she didn't see the malicious smirk that snaked it's way onto his lips, 'if only you knew the truth you fool, i am far from innocent; and more involved that you realize'.

 

~~~With The Group~~~

 

“She has been through so much and now to have Naraku pull this crap on her! It's Unforgivable!” Inuyasha raged and he demolished nearby trees.

“Calm down Inuyasha, we'll find her ok.” Sayori said placing a comforting hand on his back as she looked worryingly over at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru sat at the edge of camp, completely silent for two days and it was beginning to worry the group; now this was perfectly normal for Sesshomaru, what wasn't normal was that he hadn't moved, hadn't eaten, hadn't slept and hadn't acknowledged anyone in the group with even an eye flicker; he seemed all but dead.

“Sesshomaru-sama?” Rin asked as she slowly approached her lord. “Are you alright?” she asked in concern.

“I don't think he can hear you Rin,” Sango whispered as she gave the child a hug as she cried.

“What's wrong with Sesshomaru-sama? Where is Kagome-chan!”Wailed the small child.

At the mention of Kagome, Sesshomaru seemed to snap out of his two day comatose like state, “Kagome?” he whispered questioningly and all eyes turned to him.

“SESSHOMARU-SAMA!” Rin yelled as she ran to her lord.

“What is going on?” he asked as he looked around the group, “ Where is Kagome?” he asked, knowing he was already going to regret the answer.

“We don't know Sesshomaru, we we're hoping you could tell us.” Inuyasha growled in frustration, “You WERE the one the chase after her, you really must have pissed her off cause we found you unconscious in the forest.” Inuyasha couldn't help the amused snort with the thought of Kagome beating the crap out of his brother.

“I was in the forest?” Sesshomaru seemed confused at first till his eyes widened as memories of two days ago assaulted him, Kagome has revoked him.

The group watched as he slumped against the tree, his head lolled forward; Sango looked at the group with worry, if she didn't know any better she would say that Sesshomaru looked... depressed.

“Are you... ok Sesshomaru?” Sango asked, concern evident in her voice.

Sesshomaru looked up at the young demon slayer, “I do not know salyer.” he said with a sigh.

“What happened?” Sayori asked there was only one thing that she knew of that could get a demon this depressed and that was...

“She revoked me...” he whispered and the group fell silent with shock.

 

~~~With Kagome~~~

 

“Where are we going?” Kagome asked as they walked through thick forest, twigs and branches painfully caressing her skin.

“We're going to someone who can help.” He explained as he led her into a cave.

Wary but not afraid, Kagome slowly followed him, “Who are we going to see?” she asked, and as soon as she was in the cave the entrance was sealed with a barrier.

“What's going on here?!” she screamed as she pounded on the barrier.

“Kukuku, that will do you no good my dear,” Came a very amused, very familiar voice from behind her and all movement stopped as her heart stilled.

“No...” she whispered fearfully as she turned around, instantly wishing she hadn't, “No... not again.... please...” she begged as silent tears fell from her wide eyes as she pushed against the barrier as close as she could get, ignoring the sting of the evil barrier against her flesh.

“I have no interest in your body again miko... yet.” he purred, chuckling as she flinched at his words. “I am here for what is around your neck,” he let out a deeper, dark chuckle as she unconsciously clutched the cloth of her shirt where the jewel shards lay innocently beneath it.

“Now give them to me.” he ordered, suddenly serious; growling when she clutched tighter at her shirt and shook her head.

“TOSHIRO!” he bellowed.

“Yes lord Naraku?” he asked grinning as he stepped from the shadows.

“Retrieve the shards for me.” Naraku hissed as he glared at the terrified woman before him.

Toshiro hesitated, looking down at his master knowing full well that the reason he was going instead of Naraku was so that if the miko acted out he would be the one hurt, not Naraku.

“Why are you still standing here Toshiro? I gave you an order!” he hissed as he backhanded Toshiro where he stood.

“Sorry master, i will retrieve them now.” he stiffly stated as he walked towards Kagome, ripping open her shirt and snatching the shards before she even had time to react.

“Thats better.” Naraku grinned as the tiny bottle was placed in his hand before he swiftly closed his hand, effectively crushing the tube of glass. Pulling out his half of the Shikon jewel he started to laugh as they merged with the shards he had just acquired from Kagome; but his laugher came to an abrupt halt as he noticed something.

Growling he strode over to Kagome and back handed her to the ground, “WHERE IS IT!?” he yelled at her.

Kagome gave a soft laugh, “I don't know what you're talking about.” she calmly said as she spat blood from her mouth.

Naraku dragged her up by what remained of her shirt, “Don't play dumb with me Miko” he hissed, “The last shard.... where is the last shard?!” he growled.

Kagome was fully laughing now, “Do you really think i would leave the group with ALL the shards? If you did you're more insane than i though.”

“You would leave the shards with people who betrayed you? Harmed you? Were unfaithful to you?” he hissed into her face. He couldn't help the smug smile that wormed its way onto his face as her eyes widened, thinking that it was out of fear; but oh no, it was out of realization.

'How could he know that, how could he know that Sesshomaru...It was him...' she thought to herself, 'It was him behind it all! It was him that was... oh my god! Sesshomaru! What have i done!' She began to cry.

“Do you see how those people have hurt you?” he whispered stroking her rapidly bruising face, “Join me, and we shall rule over this world together.”

Kagome moved away from him, her face downcast, 'so he wants to play games does he?' she thought to herself.

“You will not touch me until this is over,” she hissed, 'If he wants to play games...'

“So i take that as a yes then?” Naraku asked, becoming more and more excited by the second.

'Let's play games!' she steadied her resolve and put her plan into action, “Only if i am the one to kill Sesshomaru.” She hissed and he grinned with satisfaction as he nodded.

“Well then, lets pay you're little group of 'friends' a visit then shall we?” he chuckled darkly as they disappeared in search of the group.

 

~~~With The Group~~~

 

“Something doesn't feel right” Miroku whispered looking around the camps edge.

“I know what you mean, like something terrible is going to happen; like an evil is coming,” Sango replied.

“Nice to know I'm an evil, “a voice from the shadows shortly remarked.

“Who's there?!” Inuyasha yelled, jumping up and brandishing his sword.

“Use your nose baka, and put that down before you hurt yourself,” Kagome hissed as she stepped from the shadows.

“Ka...Kagome?” Inuyasha asked as he stared dumbly at the girl in front of him, gaining the attention of a certain demon lord.

“Kagome, i would like to app...” he was cut off.

“Save it Sesshomaru, I'm not here to play nice.” she hissed.

“Then why did you come back?” Sango asked.

“I came back for the last jewel shard.” she stated simply.

“You left it here? Why do you need it?” Sayori asked.

“I don't need it...” she stated with a shrug, “He does.” she thrust her thumb towards the shadows and a baboon cloaked figure walked out.

“Naraku!” the group yelled in unison.

“Why Kagome? Why are you helping him!?” Sango begged her friend for an answer.

“Why Sango?” she asked turning to the person she held as close as a sister 'I'm sorry Sango, I'm sorry everyone; the final battle starts now and this is where i have to be for my plan to work.' she thought to herself, mentally crying tears of anguish for her friends.

“I'm doing this because I'm sick of the hurt, I'm sick of everything so it's all going to end,” and with that last statement she lunged at her friend and the final battle began.
