InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Kagome and The Silver Hanyou ❯ Chapter 14

A week had passed from the unpleasant events with Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha's wounds had totally healed, leaving no scratches. Inuyasha had said that he will burry Tenseiga along with Sesshoumaru's body. Even if he hated his brother, he couldn't let him unburied. Inuyasha couldn't return after the battle to Izayoi Island because, in the battle, “THE DEMON'S PRIDE” was seriously damaged. Plus, he must help the Higurashi family to repair their house, because he was also partially culpable for its destruction.

One day, Kagome and Inuyasha were walking on the beach in the front of Kagome's summer home, in which her family lived until the permanent home was repaired. It seemed tht the repair of Kagome's house was almost complete, but “THE DEMON'S PRIDE” was tottaly repaired and ready to leave.

-“Inuyasha,” started Kagome, her voice being a little sad. “You will now leave, now that the ship is repaired?”

Inuyasha noticed the sadness in her voice. He tried to sooth her.

-“Yes, I will leave, but not without you, Kagome. I promised you that nothing will separate us and that you will come with me. We will marry and live happily ever after till the end of our lives.”

-“Inuyasha…” whispered Kagome. “You really want that I to come with you?”

Inuyasha held her hand and kissed her.

-“Of course, my Kagome. Nothing will separate us.”

After he said that, Inuyasha closed the space between them, the two of them uniting in a kiss. This wasn't past by the duke. He watched disturbed at the lovely pair. Even if he was saved by him, he couldn't bear to see him with his daughter. To him he still was a wretched pirate.

-“It is innacceptable!” the duke objected. “Our Kagome doesn't deserve to stay with that pirate!”

-“But she loves him!” the ducess objected. “And he loves her! Why can't you be happy for her? For her choises! Plus, he saved you! What more do you want?”

-“But he's A PIRATE! She can't be happy with a pirate!”

The ducess went to the window and saw the happy couple.

-“And why do you think that? She looks pretty happy to me. I accept her choice.”

-“It's your idea what you think about her choice.” He headed to the door. `But I will not accept such thing. I will assure that Kagome won't see him again' and he left out the door.

 

Night had fallen over Okinawa. Inuyasha cane out to enjoy the pleasant and cool night air. He thought at what will happen after he will leave Okinawa. He will return to the island, with Kagome by his side. And he will live happy with her. Suddenly, he heard something behind him that got his attention.

-“Who's there?” he asked.

-“At rest, Silver Hanyou,” said the duke appearing from the darkness. “I came just to take a breath of fresh air…and to talk with you.”

-“With me? What is that you want?”

-“I wanted to talk with you about Kagome. You really wish to take her with you?”

-“Yes. And even she wants that.”

-“But are you sure that she will have everything she needs?”

-“Of, course. She will have all she needs.”

-“I wasn't referring to that.”

-“But about what?”

-“Will you make her happy? Will she be happy beside you? Or will you bring her pain and suffering?”

-“Well…”

-“I don't think so!” the duke raised his tone. “Do you really think that she will be happy beside a pirate who is searched to be captured on all seas?”

-“I will protect her with my life! I will not put her in danger!”

-“But if something like what happened with Vurumugum happens again? And you will loose control of your body again, and kill her?!”

Inuyasha twitched. He never thought that that could happen again.

-“Well I…”

-“Look, Silver Hanyou, it's better for her to stay here with the ones who really care about her, and to let her marry with one of the same social category. If you really love her, and want that she could be safe, let her stay here.”

Inuyasha froze. Leave Kagome? The duke returned to his house but before he entered he said:

-“Think at what I said,” and entered.

Inuyasha remained alone in the night. A cold wind started to blow. The duke's words were echoing in his mind and pierced through his heart. Somehow, he was right. If he transforms again in his demon form and he hurts, or even kills Kgome! He wouldn't want for that to happen. He wouldn't endure to see or smell her blood on his claws again. It would be too much for him. He already had hurt Kagome and the pain of knowing that had seeped in his veins. He held his head.

-“Doushite? What should I do? I can't give up Kagome but I din't want to hurt her again! If she comes with me, she could be in danger aside me!” After some time of thinking. “The duke's right. If she will come with me she will be in danger becaue of my demon side. I do not wish to hurt her again. She should stay here with the ones che cares for. Even if it hurts me…” He watched the immense ocean. “…I must give her up.”

Kagome was in her room with Sango, who was helping her to pack her things. Kagome was jumping happily in her room, her head being in the clouds.

-“Oh, Sango,” she said as she placed a dress in one of her suitcases. “I can't believe it that after a couple of days I will leave with Inuyasha and be with him for the rest of my life! I'm sorry to leave my parents, but I still can't believe that my father didn't say anything when I told him that I will leave. I wonder if he's okay with this.”

-“Don't worry, Kagome-chan, he had seen how happy you and the Captain are, so he must be happy for you. I think that the Captain made a good impression.”

-“Inuyasha wouldn't let him die. But I wouldn't forgive myself if I killed him to save my father. I couldn't live without him eighter.”

-“At least everything is alright now.”

-“You're right, Sango-chan,” said Kagome closing her suitcase. “Tommorow the leaving preparings will begin and it will my last day here. Tomorrow I will be spending the day saying good-by to my kith and kin. I'm sorry to leave, buit Inuyasha isn't pretty appreciated here because of the rumours about him.”

-“Don't worry, Kagome-chan,” said Sango walking to the door. “Good night and sweet dreams.”

-“It couldn't be more swetter than this. Godd night to you too,” said Kagome to her friend before she went out of the room.

After sango left, Kagome fell on her bed. She started to think about the new life she will have aside Inuyasha. She smiled at the thought and fell to sleep.

Meanwhile, in Inuyasha's room, Miroku was on his bed with his eyes closed. Suddenly, Inuyasha came through the door, starteling him. Miroku saw Inuyasha's long face and knew that something is wrong with him.

-“Inuyasha, my friend, what's with this long face? Is something trouybeling you? Aren't you happy to be with Kagome-sama for the rest of your life?”

-“Of course I am! I'm the happiest man on Earth! But…”

-“But? What can be wrong with the fact that you will be with the one you love the most for the rest of your life?”

-“I wonder if she will be happy with me? Will she be safe? This worries me! After what happened with Sesshoumaru, or before that, when I lost control of my demon side! If I will transform again and hurt or even, kill her!”

Miroku looked at his friend with sympathy. He understood what he wanted to say.

-“But what do you want do do? You won't…Don't tell me that you will leave her here?!”

-“Trust me, Miroku, it is better this way. She will find someone else to care for her, to have a life without danger.”

-“But Inuyasha, do you think that Kagome-sama will like this? Do you think that she will wish to stay?”

-“I know that she won't, so, we will leave this night, before sunrise. The others are already at the ship, making the last preparations. You must go and tell Sango. I will go and see if everything is tready. We will meet in two hours.

Inuyasha left the room, leaving Miroku alone. He began to think about Inuyasha.he knew he didn't like to leave Kagome, but what did made him to change his mind? Even he didn't liked what he did, he went to Sango. He arrived in front of her door and slightly knocked. Sango sleppely opened the door.

-“Miroku? What are you doing here? It's the middle of the night!”

Miroku entered her room withought saying anything and started to pack her things.

-“Miroku! What are you doing?!”

Miroku continued to pack her things and said:

-“We are leaving tonight. It's the Captain's order. We've got to leave in two hours, but we mustn't announce Kagome-sama.”

-“What?! We're leaving tonight?! But what about Kagome-chan? The Captain said that he will take her too!”

-“The Captain is also very derutated. I don't think he wants to leave her but something has happened to him that he wants this.”

-“And he wants to leave without saying her?”

-“It will be exteamly painful even without seing her. We've got to leave, so prepare yourself. We will meet on the ship.”

-“Okay, but I'm still not aggreing with this.”

-“Me neighter, Sango. Me neighter.”

After two hours, the ship was ready for sail. The weares were on board and the crew complete. The sails were released and the winds of the west lead the ship out of the port. Sango came to the rail and watched how Okinawa was slowly disappearing.

-`Good bye, Kagome-chan. I hope that we will see eachother again and I hope that you will find someone who cares for you. But, whatever the Captain says, I still think that you should stay with him.'

Meanwhile, in his quarters, Inuyasha was watching Okinawa. He felt like his heart was ripping in two, slowly, like the ship was distancing from the port. He didn't want to leave her. She was the most important person for him. If it wasn't for her, he still was that pirate that was pillaging, killing, and losing his minds, transforming in that demon. Now, it's all over. He lost Kagome. But it was better this way. At least she would be safe. A tear came down his cheek as Okinawa disappeared from view.

The next day morning, Kagome, instead of weaking fresh and prepared for a new and happy day, woke up preety awful. She couldn't close an eye all night. She felt awful all night. She didn't know what was with her. The day before, she felt better than always thinking that today she will leave with Inuyasha. She thought that it was something that she ate or from the excitement. She brushed the thought and went to breakfast. Her parents and her brother were waiting for her.

-“Good morning, my daughter,” said the ducess. “Have you slept well?”

-“Not one bit, mother. I didn't close one eye. I felt ill.”

-“I can see. You're a bit pale, but I think is because of the excitement. This will be the last day you will stay here, isn't it? You will be leaving with the Captain?”

-“Yes, mother. Like I aid, he needs me. I'm the one who can sooth his pained heart. He had a hard life and I am the one at whom he seeks warmth.”

Her father watch her with the edge of the eye. He knew what will happen.

-“So,” began Kagome, biting from her bread. “Where's the Captain? He said that he will meet me at breakfast. He promised me to accompany me to say goodbye to my friends.”

-“I don't know,” the ducess answered. “We haven't seen him all day. I think that…”

-“He won't come anymore,” the duke interrupted her.

Kagome chocked with the piece of bread. She swallowed some water and yelled to her father:

-“What are you saying?!”

-“What I want to say is that you won't see him again. He left last night. It seems he realized that he wasn't your type, so now, you will marry with the one I choose you: the count Houjo of Kyoto. He's a good man and he will take good care of you. He…”

He observed that Kagome disappeared. He turned towards the ducess.

-“Where did she go?”

-“I think she left with a broken heart. Tell me, you were the one who made him leave?”

-“He didn't deserve her! She needed someone better that that mere pirate! I'm her father, and I say that…”

He couldn't finish because the ducess slapped him.

-“I can't believe what kind of father you are for Kagome! Does she have 4 years for you to say what she must do? She's 16! Now she's old enough to choose what's better for her! But now she has a broken heart because of you! Again!”

The duchess left her husband alone in the dine room and went after her daughter.

Kagome ran with tears in her eyes to Inuyasha's room. She prayed that all her father said was a lie. Inuyasha couldn't have left her only if he had a good reason. She arrived in front of his door and knocked easily. Nothing. She tried again. The same answer. She began to panic. She forced the door. No one was in the room. Everithing that was Inuyasha was gone. Even his smell. Kagome fell on her knees.

-“NO! it's impossible! He left me! He left without me!”

Her mother arrived in the room. Kagome flew at her chest in a ball of tears. Her mother hugged her as she sobbed on her shoulder. She tried to calm her.

-“Kagome, I'm sure that he had a good reason to leave. He loved you so much. Even I observed that. Surely he thought that you were in danger with him. He wouldn't want you to be in danger. I'm sure that your father did something!”

-“My father is so selfish! He never wants for me to be happy! I HATE HIM!!! I will go after Inuyasha, and nobody will stop me!”

She rised, but before she could run, a fog layed on her eyes and what she remembered the last time was her mother yelling her name.

She woke up in her bed. She didn't know what time it was, but one look at the sun through the window, she could tell that it was a littlebefore sunset. Did she have slept for so long? Suddenly it was a knock at the door and her mother entered.

-“Kagome, are you okay, my dear? You suddenly fainted.”

Kagome's head was spinning, almost seeing double.

-“Not quite, mother. I feel awful! Or it's because my father is such a jerk or it's because Inuyasha isn't beside me.” New tears appeared in her eyes.

-“Don't worry, Kagome, everything will be alright. But now, a doctor will see you. I don't like one bit how you look.”

Her mother left the room and the doctor entered. After some long minutes of careful control, the doctor said:

-“There's nothing wrong with you. You're just stressed. Something had saddened you horribly and that brought you in this state. You had a nervous break-down. No need to worry. All you need is a good sleep.”

-“Yhank you, doctor. But I can't calm myself after all that has happened.”

-“I'm sorry for that, M' lady, but I can't heal broken hearts even if I wanted to. I wish you a good day. Now I will talk with your parents. Do not forget to take the medicine I left you.”

With this the doctor left leaving Kagome alone. She watched out the window at the sunset. She remembered the sunset at the time Inuyasha had proposed to her. She looked at the engage ring and tears rised in her eyes.

-why? Why did he left? Didn't he love me?' she thought. Then she heard her parents talking with the doctor. She came closer and heard through the door.

-“So what's with our daughter?” the ducess asked. “Is it serious?”

-“No, M' Lady. Everything is fine. But she's very broken. She had a very powerful shock and had a breack-down. That's why she was uncouncious for so much. You shouldn't gibe your daughter's feelings. A breack-down could be fatal.”

-“See what you've done!” the ducess shouted to the duke. “Kagome could have been in a far worse condition than this! Why did you disiunite her from the Captain?!”

-“He was a wreched pirate! And a hanyou! You know what the people think about hanyou and youkai in our days! What will the people think if they knew thay my daughter is with a hanyou! The ones at the Council will laugh at me!”

Kagome felt her eyes sting, new tears forming behind them. She wished to open the door and speak her mind, but her mother beat her:

-“See? All you think is about yourself! But never at our daughter's feelings! If I knew that you were such a man, I would never have married you! I hope that Kagomewon't have a husband like you! And the Captain looked like such a nice boy. He saved you also! Do you have any other reasons to keep Kagome away from him!?”

-“The ducess is right, Sir,” the doctor said. “If he saved you, then why don't you let her be with him? I think that you don't want something worse to happen to her...or to the baby.”

Both Kagome and her parents remained speechless. Kagome beared away from the door and layed herself on the bed's edge.

-`I'm pregnant? With Inuyasha?' she held her belly and a smile came to her face. Then she heard her father:

-“WHAT?! My daughter, pregnant?!” the duke yelled.

-“What a wonderful news!” the duchess said happy, thers of joy appearing in her eyes. “I will be a grand-mother! I always wanted a nephyew, and the child of Kagome and the Captain is the most wonderful that will be! I'm sure of it!”

-“Shut up!” the duke yelled angerly. “I won't let that child to be born! I don't want that my nephyew to be the one of a wreched hanyou! Surely that hanyou did something against her will! I will hunt him to the end of the world and I will make him pay!”

The door bursted open and a teared Kagome stood in front of them. Her father froze when he saw her.

-“Ka…Kagome? How long have you been there?”

-“Enough time to understand what kind of person are you! I thought that my engagement with Sesshoumaru was a terrible thing, but this outruns it! Aren't you happy for me? I know that you dislike Inuyasha, but can you be happy for me? Because I will be a mother? And he did nothing against my will! I did it with my will! He saved me for so many times! I love him! And this is the fruit of our love! But all is finished because of YOU!”

Her father twitched at the tone of the last word. It had seemed that she put in it all her rage for him.

-“Kagome…Please…” her father tried to talk.

-“I don't want to talk to you anymore! I don't want to see you anymore! From today, you aren't my father! Maybe you think that you can control me, but, from today, you will control only my body! No one will control my heart! Inuyasha is the choosen one!”

With this, Kagome ran in her room and crashed on her bed, crying. The duke remained speechless and turned to the duchess, but she also left, being very disappointed. The duke remained in the darkness of the corridor, thinking of Kagome's words.
