InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Kagome and The Silver Hanyou ❯ Chapter 10

At Kagome the battle ended victoriously, the enemy ship being sunken. Kagome came up deck to be with the others. She looked to the cave that will bring her to her home and to the salvation of Inuyasha.

-`Inuyasha, please don't let them kill you before I come and save you. I couldn't live without you,' she thought.

Sango came beside her friend and put her hand on her shoulder.

-“Don't worry, Kagome-chan, everything will be okay and we will save the Captain.”

Kagome looked at her.

-“I hope you're right.”

“THE DEMON'S PRIDE” entered the cave and docked. All armed themselves and prepared for the battle that will be. Miroku came beside Sango.

-“Maybe it's better for you to stay here with Shippou and Kagome-sama. It's too dangerous.”

-“No way!” she objected. “ I won't let the Captain in danger! He helped me very much, he even saved me once! I won't let him!”

Miroku looked at her and his face softened.

-“Okay, Sango. If you are so determined, then so be it. But I think that Kagome-sama should stay. I don't wish to imagine what the Captain will do to me if something happens to her.”

-“No way! I'm also coming!”

Kagome came out of the quarters wearing a white shirt tucked up in a pair of black pants which were tighten with a belt, and a pair of leather boots, which were tightly settled.

-“Kagome-chan, you won't…”

-“I'll come too. I won't leave Inuyasha,” she said as she tucked Tetsusaiga at her side, and went down off deck.

-“Let's go,” said Sango. “We mustn't leave her alone with all those horrible people.”

Miroku nodded and the two with all of the rest of the crew came down of the ship, and followed Kagome. This way was a kind of escaping one in case of dander. They successfully reached at the secret door in Kagome's room. She slowly opened. Nobody was in her room, just…her mother, who was crying on her bed, holding her favorite toy and a piece of her dress which was stained with blood.

-“Kagome, my dear Kagome! How? How could this be possible? That the Silver Hanyou to kidnap you, to work you and to throw you to the jaguars?! And this journey should have be your birthday present, not your journey to your death! At least you can now rest in peace, not to be tortured by that pirate. At least he will receive what he deserves.”

Kagome couldn't believe it. To hear her mother say such things. And what did she say? That she was killed by jaguars? Surely Sesshoumaru lied to them! And now Inuyasha was in great danger! She came out, startling her mother.

-“Mother!” Kagome said happily, tears coming out of her eyes.

It took her mother a few moments to realize that her daughter was in front of her. She thought that it was just a ghost. But when Kagome ran to her and hugged her, she realized that she was real and returned the hug.

-“Kagome, my girl, you're alive!” her mother said in tears. “But how?”

Kagome responded:

-“I'm also happy to see you, mother! But I must tell you that everything that Sesshoumaru told you was a lie!”

-“You weren't worked to death?”

-“I was…but at the beginning. But now I…”

-“Kagome-sama we've got to leave,” said Miroku coming out the trap-door. “We musn't be late!”

Kagome's mother got scared.

-“Who are you and how do you know my daughter?!”

-“Don't worry, mother. He's with me and he is a good friend!”

-“But he's one of the pirates! I will call the guards!”

Without second thoughts, Miroku ran and covered her mouth.

-“I'm sorry for this, but we've got to save the Captain, that's all. And if you behave nicely, we won't do anything because you are Kagome's mother of whom we are much attached. And the Captain is the most of it.”

Kagome's mother remained with huge eyes and looked at Kagome, trying to find answers. Kagome nodded.

-“Yes, mother, it's true. And I wish to say that I feel the same about him.”

Miroku, who had watched Kagome all this time, turned to her mother.

-“Okay now, Mrs. Higurashi, I will uncover your mouth, but don't shout, okay?”

Kagome's mother nodded and Miroku uncovered her mouth. She breathed deeply then turned to Kagome and asked her:

-“It's true, Kagome?”

Kagome turned her head, not looking her in the eyes.

-“Yes, mother. Even at first the Captain was bad to me, at time passes, he began to have feelings for me, and me also for him. He's a good person if you manage to know him. He had a hard life and he needs someone beside him. He needs me, mother! I'm the happiest person alongside him, not Sesshoumaru! He's just a bastard who wants to kill Inu…I mean, the Captain! He just wants power and fortune! He doesn't care how he gets them!”

Her mother looked at her puzzled.

-“Kagome, you know his name?”

Kagome fidget herself but said:

-“Yes, mother, I do. He told me in the night when he confessed his true feelings. In that night, he also kissed me.”

Her mother gasped. Kagome gained courage and said:

-“I don't know what you think about him, but I love him, mother! I love him with all my heart and he also loves me! We also want to get married!”

-“What?!” her mother shouted.

Kagome showed her mother the diamond ring on her finger. It was shining in the light of the lamp that was on the table. Kagome's mother took her hands to her mouth. Kagome expected that she would do something. To yell, to cry, to slap her, anything. But her mother didn't do anything but hugged her, tears of joy in her eye. Kagome needed a couple of moments to understand what was happening, but when she did, she returned the hug.

-“My little Kagome, I'm so happy for you!” then she looked her in the eyes. “If you love him so much, I won't sty in your way.”

Kagome throwed herself on her. Miroku and Sango watched the scene happily.

-“Thank you, mother! You're the best!”

Then, her mother remembered something important.

-“Kagome, hurry! Your father said something about an execution before sunrise!”

-“What did you say?!” Kagome asked terrified.

Miroku exclaimed:

-“The Captain is in danger!”

Kagome ran from her mother's arms straight through the door, being followed by the others.

-“I'm so sorry, Kagome,” her mother whispered.

As she ran, Kagome thought:

-`Inuyasha, please, wait for me! I'm coming!'

In the court of the fort, the preparations for Inuyasha's execution were over. He was going to be shot. Inuyasha was wearing a white, buttoned blouse that had been stained with blood because of his wounds, and a pair of black pants. He was chained fixed by a pole on the wall. His vision was blurred because of blood loss. He was worried, he was scared, but the idea of death was reassuring. Now that he had lost Kagome, he had nothing to live for. The idea to meet her in the Afterlife was reassuring. Kagome's father, Sesshoumaru and Vurumugum were all present. 7 musket armed men were in front of him. A priest began to say Inuyasha's last rights.

Meanwhile, Kagome reached the fort. They immediately attacked the guardians. Reinforcements arrived. The police captain arrived at Sesshoumaru and whispered to his ear:

-“We have guests. I think that they are Hanyou's friends.”

-“What?! They've should have been dead! But no matter. They're too late! You take care that none of them will interrupt the execution!”

-“As you wish, Sir.”

The captain saluted and left. Sesshoumaru thought:

-`How could this be? I saw them dieing! I think it's better that I leave with the money. But first, to watch my brother's death.'

Outside the fort, it was a battle between life and death. Miroku succeeded to bring down a horse and take it, and now, he was battling on him. Sango fought with her huge boomerang, bringing down groups of men. A group came in front of Kirara. She ruffled her hair, transformed and growled, sending them with the tail between their feet. Riku and Hikaru were protecting Kagome. They managed to enter the fort. They arrived in a balcony. Kagome watched how her love was tight and 7 men readied their muskets to shoot him.

-“Inuyasha!” she yelled, but no one heard her.

-“Don't worry, Kagome-sama, we will get there and…Kagome-sama!”

Riku couldn't finish the sentence because Kagome ran from him, went down the stairs, in the court of the fort. The priest finished what he had to do and passed from the “target”. The chief of the guards yelled:

-“Ready…Aim…”

-“Hold the fire!”

Kagome came flying in front of Inuyasha and remained in front of him with her arms stretched. They all gasped. Kagome's father slowly rose from his chair, not believing that that person was his daughter. And she was alive! He wanted to run to her and hug her, but froze when he herds her saying:

-“Do not shoot! You can't kill him!”

Inuyasha was still focusing his vision on the person in front of him, but when he heard her voice, his vision cleared.

-“Kagome? Kagome, is that you?”

Kagome turned to him and hugged him. Inuyasha needed some time to realize that he wasn't dreaming, but when she kissed him, he realized that he wasn't. Those soft lips and sweet like they only can be lightly touched theirs. After a couple of seconds, Kagome broke the kiss when she heard her father:

-“Kagome! What do you think you're doing?!”

Kagome turned at him and yelled:

-“I won't let you kill him, father! Nobody will stand between us!”

Her father yelled:

-“Kagome, this man must die! He kidnapped you and made you his slave, maybe kill you! Kagome, why do you wish that this man to live?”

Kagome replied:

-“BECAUSE I LOVE HIM!!!”

Her father remained speechless. His own daughter, who had returned after all this time, was in love with the same man that had to be killed. With a destroyed voice he said:

-“Kagome? Listen at what you are saying! You love him?! You should have say that to the man you want to marry!”

-“I know, father, and I know what I'm saying. I love the Captain and if you wish to kill him, I will follow him in death!”

Kagome heard her father and Inuyasha say:

-“What?!”

Inuyasha whispered:

-“Kagome…”

She turned to him and throwed herself on him.

-“Inuyasha, when they've captured you, I thought that I won't see you again! The pain was unbearable! I do not want to feel like that again!”

Inuyasha watched her with pity.

-“Neither do I want to feel like when I found out that you were dead. I shouldn't believe that Sesshoumaru!”

-“If it wasn't for your necklace, we've be dead by now.”

-“What do you mean?” asked Inuyasha.

-“After they took you, Vurumugum put a shield around us not to let us escape. But that shield had also the purpose to eliminate us. We've had died asphyxiated if your necklace wouldn't had saved us.”

Sesshoumaru herd the entire discussion and yelled, pointing to Kagome:

-“Take her from there!”

Kagome was taken from Inuyasha's face by some men.

-“Kagome!” yelled Inuyasha.

-“Inuyasha! Inuyasha!” Kagome yelled, tears coming from her eyes.

He struggled, trying to break free from the ropes, but without his demonic powers and the fact that he was weaken by the loss of blood, it was impossible. After Kagome was brought behind the shooting range, it was in slow-motion as the guard captain yelled:

-“Fire!”

with tears in her eyes, Kagome yelled:

-“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

She watched helpless how her love was shot 7 times, then fell on his knees. His vision got blurry.

-“Kagome…” he whispered, and then Kagome froze as he fell on one side.
