InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Hanyou & Miko: The Way It Should Be ❯ Hanyou & Miko: The Begining ( Chapter 1 )

Kagome clasped her hands together tightly over the half-a-jewel and the shards and began to say the incantation she had been taught by Kaede. The jewel and the shards glowed brightly as they became one. Once the glowing stopped Kagome opened her hands and looked over the now complete jewel. “I did it…” She exclaimed holding the complete jewel into the air showing her fellow companions. Everyone’s eyes shot up to the jewel, they all cheer at the accomplishment. Kagome looked around at everyone smiling face. “Where’s Inuyasha?” She asked looking around and spotted him just before he jumped in his favorite tree. “Inuyasha!” She yelled running over to him.

“What wench?” He questioned not even glancing at her.

“I just thought that maybe you would want to know that the jewel is complete.” She said holding the jewel safely in her palms.

“That’s good to know.” He said still not looking at her.

“Well aren’t you gonna make your wish?” She asked looking up at him.

“Yeah…but not right now.” He said.

“Why not?” Shippo asked jumping on Kagome‘s shoulder.

“Yeah thought ye would be happy that the shard is finished.” Kaede said walking over and standing behind Kagome. “Don’t tell me ye are scared?” She added knowing that would hit a nerve.

“I ain’t scared you old hag.” Inuyasha yelled.

“Inuyasha!” Kagome yelled as everyone began to walk off.

“What wench?” He shot back.

“Sit!” She yelled waking away. He hit the ground ‘thud’ making a large crater. He mumbled something into the dirt but she didn’t paid it any mind.

-----------------------------------

Later that night…

Kagome laid on her sleeping bag near the fire and stared up at the stars. Miroku sat nearby Sango who was also laying on her pallet also staring up at the starry sky. Kaede watched as Shippo and Kilala sparred. Inuyasha still sat in the tree he had not moved all day. All was quite and relaxing, for once the group was not on alert.

“Hentai!” Sango yelled slapping him across the face.

Everyone but Sango and Miroku laughed, even Kilala seem to be.

“Oh you think it funny huh Kilala?” Sango asked scooping the kitten up and began tickling her. Kilala gave a kind of hissing laugh and squirmed trying to get away.

“I’ll save you Kilala.” Shippo said as he went to tickle Sango.

“Oh no you don’t.” Kagome said pulling him to her and immediately began to tickle him to death.

Miroku chuckled at the site. Kagome and Sango stop tickling the Kitsune and kitten and looked at each other. They looked back at Miroku both smirking. Miroku stopped laughing as he noticed them staring at him. Before he could do anything they leaped on him tickling him, but it only last a few minutes before both girls stopped feeling the monk’s hands on there thighs. “HENTAI! They both yelled (SLAP) (SLAP) The girls took their leave and went into their hut and went to bed Kaede and Kilala followed.

“Well it was fun while it lasted.” Miroku said standing and walking into his hut and also went to sleep, Shippo soon followed.

-----------------------------------

“Inuyasha.” Kagome said as she awoke in a cold sweat. She glance around the room, everyone was still sleeping and the sun wasn’t even close to rising. She laid back down but figuring that she wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep for sometime she got up and went out side. She stretched and glance down at the fire it was only embers now. She walked over and peeked into the guys hut. Miroku lay in the back corner with Shippo curled up next to him. A large empty pallet lay in the middle of the floor. ‘Wonder where Inu…’

“Looking for me?” A voice whispered in her ear.

She quickly turned around only to see Inuyasha standing right behind her. “Inuyasha..” She gasped a little scared but mostly out of fright of being snuck up on. “You shouldn’t sneak up on people like that.” She said trying to calm her speeding heart.

“What are you doin up this late?” He asked walking over to the fire and starting it back up.

“Can’t sleep.” She simply replied sitting down next to the fire.

“Why’s that?” He asked throwing a few twigs into the fire.

“To much on my mind…I guess.” She said watching the fire rise and fall.

“Like what?” He asked sitting down Indian style next to her.

“Like what’s the next step.” She replied looking up at the sky. The stars were now hidden behind a few clouds. “Now that Naraku’s dead and the jewel is complete I have no reason to stay.” She added pulling her knees to her chest.

“So if you have no reason to stay go home.” Inuyasha replied heartlessly taking what she said the wrong way.

“I might as well.” Kagome responded. Inuyasha was shocked by this, normally when he said something so heartless she would sit him and go home or run off. “Once you make your wish you won’t remember me or the others…and I didn’t survive through it all this just to be killed in the end by the one who helped me through it.” She said staring back at the fire sort of in a trance.

An awkward silence fell over the two. Inuyasha just stared at the sky while she stared deeply at the fire. “Say Inuyasha..?” Kagome began looking over at him.

“Hai.”

“When are you going to make your wish?” She asked. He shrugged and continued to stare at the sky. “Isn’t being a full demon your top priority?” She asked but got another shrug. “I thought you would of made the wish as soon as the jewel was finished.” She snorted staring off into the distance.

Inuyasha stopped staring at the stars and looked over at her. ‘I want to become full demon…but I don’t want to forget you.’ He thought watching the glow from the fire dance across her face. “Kagome..?” She slowly turned and caught his gaze, making him look away. “Can I ask you something?”

“Of course.”

“Do you want to stay?” He asked turning back to her.

Kagome was sort of caught of guard by this but responded no the less. “I would like to but I have…”

“Would you stay?” He asked cutting her off.

“Well yes but only if there is a reason.” She replied looking over at him a bit confused.

Another awkward silence fell between the two. Goosebumps ran down her arms and she soon felt a tugging on her shirt sleeve and looked over at him. “Come here.” He said in almost a whisper. She unwrapped her arms from around her legs and scooted over to him. He pulled her close laying her head on his shoulder allowing her to rest fully on him. He wrapped his arms around her waist becoming her jacket. She closed her eyes as she soaked up his warmth.

“Kagome.” He said looking down at her. She opened her eyes and looking up at him.

“If you could change me would you?” He asked staring into her eyes.

“No, I Love You…As You Are.” Kagome said staring straight back into his. “And I always will.” She added slowly closing the gap between their lips. Her lip brushed his and before she knew it one of his hands was around her neck and the other still her waist pulling her close deepening the kiss.

"I love you too.." He said as soon as they broke for air. She stared into his eyes for a moment then laid her head back down on his shoulder and watched the fire dance. "Stay with me?" He whispered into her ear. Her heart began to race 'stay with me' she never thought she would live to hear those words.

She looked up at him with a huge smile. "Now there's a reason." She replied before passionately kissing him.
