Chapter 9- Trust

I do NOT own Inuyasha and I never will.

Well on with the story. ENJOY!

When Kagome awoke, the first thing she noticed was that she was warm and she felt safe. She opened her eyes slowly and saw that the sun was just starting to rise. Inuyasha was still asleep, and to Kagome's surprise, he in fact looked like he was in the deepest sleep she had ever seen him in. Everyone else was still asleep also and she thought about going back to sleep herself, but she heard Isane outside of the hut moving around. She also heard someone else coming closer to him.

'I can hear so many more things then I ever could before.' Kagome thought before turning to look at Inuyasha again. 'Inuyasha looks so cute when he sleeps. I better not wake him.' She thought as she slowly and VERY carefully crawled out of her sleeping bag and out of Inuyasha's arms. Somehow she hadn't woke him. He seemed to have grabbed the part of the sleeping bag she had been in and was holding it as if it was her. 'He is so cute!' she smiled at him and left the hut.

When Kagome got outside, she saw a Panther demon who seemed to be talking to Isane only. Since he was in panther form it sounded more like growling. Isane seemed to be listening intently. "I see. Thank you. Come back if you find out anything else." Isane told the other panther, but he spoke normally. The other panther just nodded and ran away. He turned around to face Kagome. "Hello Kagome. How are you this morning?" Isane spoke in a low voice so that he wouldn't wake anyone inside the hut.

Kagome was in awe at how beautiful Isane was. He now had his long black hair held back in a braid that went down past his butt. The two small silver streaks in the front were just so perfect on him. 'It is strange though that he would have silver hair at all.' Kagome thought. "I am very well. Thank you for asking. Who was the panther demon that you were talking to?" She asked with a smile.

"He is the friend that I had watch you and your friends while you recovered." Isane stated also smiling.

"Can I ask you something?" Kagome asked unsure of what would offend him.

"You can ask me anything Kagome. I will gladly answer you but it may be a good idea to go a little farther from the hut so that we don't wake anyone." Kagome nodded and they walked toward the well.

When they got to the well Kagome sat on the edge and looked down into it. Isane sat on the ground near her. "Well I have so many things to ask you that I don't know where to start." Kagome said and then laughed.

Kagome asked the first thing that came to mind. "Well why is it that you have silver streaks in your hair? I didn't notice last night if you had them in your other form also. Do all Panther demons have them? I didn't see any on the other one."

"There are only few that have the silver streaks. Only the strongest of us have them. My father had them also. I do have them in demon form but it was dark last night and they aren't very obvious anyway." Isane said and looked at Kagome who seemed to be in thought.

"So you are strong for a panther demon?" Kagome asked while remembering him say he wasn't very strong last night.

"Yes I guess I am. Those who don't have them look up to us as lords but it's not a big deal." Isane said while looking at Kagome.

"Wow so to your people you are like a lord. That's cool." Kagome said and smiled brightly.

Isane smiled at her 'She is very sweet she kind of reminds me of my mate.' Isane thought and then sighed.

"Is something wrong?" Kagome asked a bit worried by his sudden change in mood.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When Inuyasha woke up he found himself alone in Kagome's sleeping bag and he was not happy about that. He would have even been worried if he couldn't tell how Kagome was feeling and she seemed to be happy at the moment but she still wasn't with him and he didn't like that. 'Where the hell did she go? She better not be with the Isane guy!' Inuyasha thought while starting to get jealous. Inuyasha had noticed that Sango and Kagome seemed to think this guy was cute and that Kagome seemed a little too friendly with him. He stopped himself there and remembered that she was friendly to everyone.

Inuyasha ran out of the hut in search for Kagome and was not happy to find that she was not nearby. He followed her scent to the well and saw them talking. They had their backs turned toward him so they had not seen him yet. Inuyasha was not happy that Kagome and some demon they barely knew were off in the woods alone together, but he decided to listen to what they were saying before he got mad at them. They weren't even that close to each other really and they were just talking. 'Why did they come all the way out here if they just wanted to talk?' Inuyasha thought as he watched them.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Is something wrong?" Kagome asked a bit worried by his sudden change in mood.

"No I was just thinking about my mate. You reminded me of her just now. You both were so happy all the time and so sweet no matter what was happening." Isane said and was sure he heard a noise off in the woods but let it go for now.

"You must miss her very much. It sounds like you loved her a lot." Kagome said in a sad tone.

"Yes I loved her more then anything. She was more then just my mate she was my soul mate. I wanted nothing more then to have children with her and spend the rest of my life with her. Nothing would have made me more happy then to look into my child's eyes for the first time." He sighed and looked at the ground. "I don't think I will ever love another. She was my world and to be with someone else wouldn't feel right." Isane looked up into Kagome's eyes now and smiled at her. "You have the same innocence and joy in your eyes that she did and that is what made me think of her. Though not a day goes by that I don't think of her."

"I know how you feel." Kagome said and smiled brightly. "That's how I feel about Inuyasha. If I lost him I don't know what I would do. He means so much to me. I love him more then I ever thought I could love anything. I would love to have his children one day. I mean I am willing to stay here with him and leave my home and it doesn't bother me because I know I will always have him with me. No matter what happens I know Inuyasha will protect me and take care of me for the rest of my life." Kagome blushed as she said this and smiled.

Inuyasha's mouth was on the floor. 'I know I thought she loved me but to hear her say it is so much better. I had no idea she cared that much about me. I can't believe the feeling of love and joy she felt as she said that. It's amazing.' Inuyasha was now smiling in a way that no one had ever seen him do before. It was a dopey grin but Kagome would have loved it had she seen it.

He had never been so happy before in his life.

"You and Inuyasha are going to become life mates right?" Isane asked and Kagome nodded. "Why do you have to give up your home to be with Inuyasha? Your family is far away?" Isane asked. His friend had told him something about that well they were sitting on taking Kagome somewhere and she had been gone for a day, but he didn't know where she went or how the well brought her there. "My friend who was watching you told me about you jumping into this well. Where did you go?"

Kagome wasn't sure at first if she should tell him about her time but since he already knew the well took her somewhere she might as well tell him everything. "Well I am from the future" Isane gave her a funny look but she just continued knowing it must sound strange. "About 500 years in the future. On my 15th birthday I was brought here by a demon who wanted the Shikon jewel which I had inside my body at the time." Kagome continued to tell Isane about the jewel and how she broke it and about being Kikyo's reincarnation and about how Inuyasha was pinned to the tree for 50 years. She told him about how Inuyasha and Kikyo were in love before he was pinned to the tree. She also told him how she met her friends and about why they were after Naraku. She told him what he did to all her friends. Kagome had no idea why she was telling him so much. She trusted him completely but she didn't know why.

Isane couldn't believe everything she told him but he knew she meant every word of it. "Well I guess I understand why you have to give up your family but you can still see them right? It is very sad that Naraku did such horrible things to you and your friends. I hope that I can help you make him pay for it all." Isane tried to change the sad topic a bit. "So you have been with Inuyasha for two years and you are still not life mates?"

"Well Inuyasha couldn't seem to get over Kikyo for the longest time. When she was brought back to life he thought he owed her something and he wanted to put her to rest but I couldn't stand watching them together all the time. Even after Kikyo was killed again by Naraku and was gone for good he still couldn't let her go. I never thought that he would move on but he hasn't said anything about her in almost a year. I guess it's easier for him to move on with his life now that she is gone. I know he will always love her and care about her but she is gone and it's me that he wants to be with now." Kagome seemed to now be deep in thought. "To tell you the truth I haven't thought about her much in a long time either. And I know it sounds bad but I think her being gone kind of made everything easier for me." Kagome frowned. "I can't believe I just said that. I am horrible." Kagome said and looked very unhappy.

"You shouldn't feel bad. From what you tell me she was made out of clay and was not really the woman Inuyasha fell in love with anyway. Perhaps it's best that she moved on. Maybe she can be at rest now." Isane said trying to make Kagome feel better.

Inuyasha was still listening to them talk and wasn't happy that they were talking about Kikyo. 'Maybe it is time that I talked to Kagome about Kikyo just so that she understands that she is the one I want and not Kikyo.' Inuyasha thought that he might as well come out and talk to them. Kagome was feeling upset and he wanted to help her.

"I hope she is at rest. I know things are better now that she is gone but I still hope that she is at rest wherever she is now." Kagome didn't really think Kikyo could be happy in hell without Inuyasha but she hoped that she had found some kind of peace."

"You truly are kind Kagome." Isane said and was happy when Kagome smiled again.

They both heard some one coming toward them so they turned to face Inuyasha. Kagome smiled at him and was happy he didn't seem jealous that they were alone together. "Good morning Inuyasha. Did you sleep well?" Kagome asked while smiling.

"Yeah until I woke up alone." Inuyasha said looking a little like a kid that didn't get what he wanted. "Why are you guys so far away from the hut?"

"We didn't want to wake you guys. You looked so cute sleeping that I just couldn't wake you." Kagome said and then gave Inuyasha a hug forgetting for a moment that Isane was there.

"So just how long were you listening before you came out of the woods Inuyasha? I thought I heard some one earlier." Isane watched Inuyasha put on an innocent face.

"Not long." Inuyasha said but he felt a little nervous about lying and then he remembered that Kagome could tell what he was feeling and looked at her. She seemed embarrassed.

'I hope Inuyasha didn't hear me tell Isane how I feel about him. I wanted to tell him not have him hear it while I am talking to someone else.' Kagome knew by the fact that Inuyasha was nervous that he had heard more then she would have liked but she let it go for now.

Isane looked at the two of them and smiled. "Well I am glad you are awake Inuyasha. My friend who has been watching Nakazo has informed me that he is planning another attack on Kagome. We have a few days before he attacks but I think it's best to be ready for it."

"WHAT??? What do you mean he is going to attack Kagome again? Why don't we just go and kill him already so we don't have to worry about it???" Inuyasha was now holding Kagome close to him as if someone was trying to steal her from him.

"It's not that easy Inuyasha. He has strong allies and they will make it hard to get to him. Plus I don't think Kagome is ready yet to kill Nakazo. She is stronger now since you gave her your blood it's true, but she doesn't yet know how to use her powers and to send her into a fight with Nakazo without training could cause her to fail or worse, hurt all of the demons in the area. If she tries to use her powers and she doesn't know how to control them she could even hurt herself. It's best to wait until she is ready. In the meantime we must protect her." Isane gave Inuyasha a serious look that seem to say 'don't question me on this one.'

"Fine, but if ANYTHING happens to Kagome I am going to make sure you pay for it! What kind of attack is he planning anyway?" Inuyasha asked in an angry tone.

"Inuyasha I will protect Kagome with my life. She is special and I will not let anyone hurt her," Kagome blushed at what Isane said and Inuyasha didn't like it. "As for the attack I am not sure exactly what he is planning because he seems to know I am here with you and he is being more secretive then normal. He seems to think of you all as a great threat, which is a very bad thing. All he could tell me about the attack is that it will be a big one and it will happen wherever you are in two days. If Kagome can learn some control before then it is possible that his attack will do no damage."

"Why would me having control over my powers stop his attack?" Kagome asked

"Kagome you were a very strong miko before you were given Inuyasha's blood but now you could be an unstoppable miko. You have no idea the kind of power you have. If you could learn how to use and control it even just a little in the next two days you could even put a barrier up so that his attack wouldn't even be able to touch you. I think that once you figure out what you can really do you will realize how strong you are." Isane said almost looking proud.

"You really think I can do all that? I mean I know I am a strong miko but I don't think I can learn to do all that in two days!" Kagome said looking nervous.

"I think you already know how to use your powers at least a little but since they are so much stronger now it should be easier to learn. The more power you have the faster you can learn to use it." Isane said and then looked at Inuyasha who was still holding on to Kagome as if she would be stolen at any moment.

"Well I already asked Miroku and Kaede to help Kagome with her powers anyway." Inuyasha said and looked down at Kagome. "Lets go back we have a lot to do before this fucking asshole Nakazo attacks. We will be ready for him when he comes!"

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha who was holding her and she felt so safe in his arms. "As long as you are with me I know everything will be alright Inuyasha." Kagome said and then blushed. Inuyasha then kissed her lightly on the lips not caring that Isane was there.

They all walked back to the village to prepare to start the fight against Nakazo.
