InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Forever Alone ❯ Chapter Five ( Chapter 5 )

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Inuyasha or any of its characters because if I did, then Inuyasha would not be such a dumbass and realize that Kikyou is a dead bitch at the same time discovering that Kagome is his true love. Also, we see a lot more of Inuyasha's sexy brother too! MMmmmm Sesshoumaru is the MAN!

Please forgive any grammar and/or spelling errors.

Please keep in mind that I have only seen the Inuyasha episodes that have been shown on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, so if I have any contradictions pertaining to the storyline later in the series please forgive them as well.

Forever Alone

Chapter Five

They held on to each other forgetting the rest of the world existed. The only thing that was of any importance was the one in their arms. The world had stopped turning for the two united lovers even though the afternoon still faded into the evening.

Inuyasha pulled away from the embrace so that he could stare in to her deep, rich, love-filled eyes. He could get lost in them and never want to escape.

"I guess I should let the others see you too." He whispered as his forehead pressed to hers.

"Hai, you should, but will you?" she ask; a small, gentle smile playing at her lips.

"After I ask you something…" his face took on more serious look.

"What?" she replied her breath catching in her lungs.

Inuyasha swallowed the lump that had form throat. He knew one thing and one thing only: He could not live his life with out her. So he had to ask, although himself be damned if he managed to voice what his heart so urgently need to know.

"Kag-Kagome?" his voice cracked.

`Why am I so nervous, hell that speech should have been harder to say than this!'

"Hai?" her encouraging eyes met his sparkling amber orbs.

"Will you…" he stopped briefly to clear his swollen throat, "Will you be my mate?"

His heart screamed for him to close his eyes before he saw the rejection in her eyes. But he refused he was no coward. Whatever her answer, he was going to face it with whatever courage he had remaining.

Kagome's eyes grew ever so slightly. She had dreamed of him asking her that very question every single day since she had fallen in love with him all those long years ago.

"YES!" she screamed, tears falling from her eyes, the miko launched herself at the hanyou before her sending him backwards with her on top of him.

The fear and panic that had begun coursing through his veins dissipated the second her answer rang through his ears. Before his mind could begin expressing all the joy bursting inside him, he was sent toppling backwards. An instant after his sudden change in position he felt her soft, luscious lips on his own.

Inuyasha eagerly returned the kiss, he let everything emotion that existed within him at that very moment be released with that kiss. When the need for air dawned upon the future mates, they reluctantly broke their kiss.

Another question entered his mind, and the fear of its answer began to shake the very foundation of his newly found happiness.

"Kagome, does your answer mean you will never leave me again?" he asked fighting to speak through his labored breath.

Kagome's heart broke as she stared into his hopeful yet fearful eyes. He looked like a little lost puppy dog: his eyes held so much sadness behind the two dominate feelings while his facial features reflected that which his eyes expressed and his white ears had been pinned to his head.

She brought one of her hand from behind his neck. She felt his arms subconsciously tighten around her waist at her movement. As she stroked her hand across his cheek, she made the most important decision in her life.

"Hai, Inuyasha. I will never leave you again, I promise you that. But…"

It was her life to live, she had been miserable in the future without him, and she knew she could not bear being apart from him ever again. She would stay, and give up her life on the other side of the well.

"I have to say goodbye to my family, before I can stay with you here in the past." She gave him a gentle smile hoping he understood as she watched the conflict dance through his amber gems.

Old fears returned. The single reason why he had never wanted her to go through the well was the simple fact that he was afraid she would not come back. She always promised she would return and she always had, except for the last time but again she didn't promise that time she would return.

"Do you promise you'll come back to me?" his voice was shakier that he wished it to be.

Tears flooded from her eyes as memories of him trying to stop her from going home and how she always tried to convince him she would be back; flashed through her mind. Then those images changed into images of the last time she saw him, and how she leapt into the well without so much as a good bye.

"I promise, Inuyasha, I will come back to you." She placed a tender kiss upon his lips.

Pulling away quickly she quickly added a promise of her own, "Do you promise you'll love me the rest of my life?" her slender fingers brushed his bangs to the side of his face.

"No, Kagome," for an instant he watched the color drain from her face, "I promise to love for the rest of eternity."

With that said, his arms pulled her closer to his body and his lips laid claim upon hers before the first newborn tear could escape her eyes.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*

Kagome stood upon a grassy hill not far from where Kaede's huts still stood even after her death. She stared up at the endless number of stars hanging like diamonds in the clear, crisp sky.

She could not stop the smile that instantly spread across her face as she was reminded of the wonderful reunions that had taken place today. First, Inuyasha and not a single word could explain how happy she was from just that single reunion. Inuyasha had taken her the village where her old friends waited impatiently for Inuyasha to relinquish his claim on her time.

The rest of the evening was spent catching up on the last two years, reliving memories, and enjoying the company of dear friends. She met Sango and Miroku's daughter and watched with complete delight as Inuyasha played with the young child. Kagome knew she would miss her mother, brother and grandfather but since she had returned here, she realized this was the time period she was meant live the rest of her life and it was the place where she was most happiest and where her true love and closest friends were.

Kagome had come out the hilltop to watch the stars. The sky was hardly ever clear in the city and the air was did not contain the same freshness it did in feudal Japan. After everyone had gone to bed, Inuyasha opted to sleep outside like he had come accustom too. He had asked if she wanted to join him, she did but she wanted a moment just to herself. So Inuyasha waited for her in the God tree while she stood for a few more moments lost in her thoughts.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*

He watched her hair blow with the wind. His eyes gazed across her body, especially where the past two years had filled as her childlike body took on a grown woman's body. She was even more beautiful and more desirable than when he had last seen her.

She had returned from where ever she had gone, no doubt she had come back to finally accept her place as his mate. He had waited long enough; nothing was going to stop him this time. She was his and would be forever once he mated with her.

As he entered the clearing his nose picked up a scent that he never thought he would smell again.

`No, how can that be? He went to hell with that creepy bitch. Eh. No matter, Kagome will be mine and by the time Inuyasha finds us it will be too late.'

Kouga sped towards the unsuspecting girl, grabbing her quickly around her waist; twisting and pulling her body against his.

"I have missed you greatly, my love" Kouga said nuzzling her neck.

Kagome stood there a few seconds as her mind registered what was happening. When it finally clicked, she tried to pull from his grasp. Her eyes met his as his arms tightened possessively around her waist. She could see the lust dripping from the pupils of his eyes while a slight red hue began to cloud his gaze. Even though Kouga was a friend, she could not withhold the fear that had crept into her being.

"Kouga! Please let me ago." She tried to be polite wanting nothing more than to be free from his embrace.

Kouga slid his tongue from the base of Kagome's neck up to just below her ear. He smirked as her body instantly tensed in his arms.

"Don't deny it, you want me just as much as I want you. And nothing will stop me from having you." He said in her ear as a whimper escaped her lips and his nose picking up the scent of salt from her tears.

"Inuyasha?" her trembling voice asked in a low whisper.

"Hai! So he did not go to hell like he should have, no matter by the time he figures out your gone, you will be mine!" his burning eyes burrowed down into the depths of her soul, sending a new wave of panic and fear through her shaking body.

As he hoisted her over his shoulders, she did the only thing she knew could possibly give her hope that Inuyasha would save her in time, she screamed out for him.

"INUYASHA!!!"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*

Inuyasha had been sitting on the lowest branch of the god tree, waiting for Kagome to join him. Much like his future mate he was lost his thoughts of the day's events and of what the future would bring.

When his instincts informed him of the presence of another youkai he decided to head in Kagome's direction to make sure she was all right. He jumped from the tree and began to walk towards the hilltop where Kagome was; with every step the youkai's scent became stronger. It only took a few strides for Inuyasha to realize which youkai it was and that Kagome was in danger.

Running full speed, his heart sped up as Kagome's fear dangled in the air. But his pacing heart stopped abruptly when he heard her yell his name in an loud, shrieking, desperate voice. He arrived at the hilltop to find it empty. Both Kouga and Kagome's scent lingered immensely around the hanyou. Kagome's fear and panic was evident but another factor aided the hanyou's sudden boiling blood; the smell of Kouga's lust and arousal.

Inuyasha knew his control was slipping as he flew in the direction of the wolf prince's scent. He would not hesitate to torture and destroy the piece of shit this time, not after that wolf bastard took the only person that meant more to him than anything in the world.

`I just got her back, nothing on this earth is going to take her away from and live to tell the tale.'

Kagome's fear grew stronger, with every glide and Inuyasha felt his instinct quickly taking hold of him. But just as their scents had been so strong one minute, both scents disappeared without a trace a second later.

Inuyasha stopped and in desperation began sniffing trying to pick up their trail. Newfound panic raced with his blood, and with every empty sniff of air he took was like a knife being jabbed into his heart. His golden eyes darkened as his body began trembling in anger.

Needing to release his building anger, Inuyasha howled into the night…

"KAGOME!!!"
