Kagome's return chapter 18

Kagome and Inu-yasha part 1


Inu-yasha lowers Tetsusaiga and looks at Sesshomaru. He smirks
and begins to speak in a normal volume. "Big Brother,"
Sesshomaru's eyebrows raise, but his doesn't say a thing.

"Since, if you are correct about Kagome's desires, we will need
to get along, perhaps you and I should take a stroll."

"And talk?" Sesshomaru smiles, showing his fangs.

Inu-yasha smiles back, showing his fangs. "Of course. I'm sure
you'll find the conversation very enjoyable."

"Of course. I enjoy a good conversation."

Both brothers begin to walk, slowly, toward the god tree. As they
walk, Sesshomaru begins to tell Inu-yasha about his and Kagome's
travels.

"You do know, that no matter what, I still don't trust you." Inu-
yasha whispers to Sesshomaru.

"And you do know, that no matter what, I am your superior."
Sesshomaru whispers back.

Kirara follows . . .

At the well . . .

Kagome frowns, instantly, as she appears.

She jumps up and out of the well and looks around.

She turns into the direction of the god tree.

"What did you two do!?" she cries.

She starts to run in that direction . . .


Kagome stops at the edge of the god tree's clearing.


Sesshomaru, with his acid whip twirling, is attacking the god tree at his fastest speed.

Inu-yasha, with Testsusiaga enlarged, is jumping around, attacking the god tree, as well.
The god tree is using its huge branches to defend itself from their attacks.

The battle, so far, looks about even. There is some cut off branches on the ground, but both Inu-
yasha and Sesshomaru are bleeding.

Kagome takes a deep breath and yells, "Stop!"

Silence . . . as everyone stops . . .


Inu-yasha looks at Kagome. One of his legs is bleeding, and there is a cut on one of his checks.

Sesshomaru looks at Kagome. One of his arms is bleeding, and one of his legs, as well.

The god tree shakes itself and then transforms into the human form of Go-Shin-Boku-kami. His
arms have some minor cuts on them, but that's it.

Kagome stalks into the clearing, a fixed angry expression on her face.

"Kirara! I can feel you, too!" Kagome cries out.

Kirara walks out from around one of the tress.

"Well?" Kagome glares at Inu-yasha, Sesshomaru, and Go-Shin-Boku-kami, her hands on her
hips. All three men flinch at her glare.

Inu-yasha speaks up first. "It's not your concern, bitch."

"Sit, boy."

THUMP!

She turns to Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru waves his hand to Go-Shin-Boku-kami. "He is the one that sent us on our journey. I
wished to have a discussion with him."

"Discussion?!"

"Of course, He's not going to speak truthfully about it, unless I beat it out of him."

Kagome closes her eyes. ‘Count to ten. Slowly.'

"I see that you have used the acorn." Go-Shin-Boku-kami purrs. "Excellent. I've got some
plans."
Kagome takes a deep breath, and glares at him. "I don't want to hear them. And, right now," She
raises her hand and brings her thumb and forefinger together. She separates them by a hair. "I'm
this close to helping them beat the living shit out of you."

All three men's jaws, even Inu-yasha's, who, by now, has sit up, drop at her statement and the
anger in her voice.

"My life is not mine to live anymore, Go-Shin-Boku-kami. Your plans, your tests have destroyed
any chance that I had to live a normal life." Kagome glares at him, small flames appearing in her
eyes. "Right now, I'm very upset about that."

Go-Shin-Boku-kami opens his mouth to speak, but.

"I don't want to hear it." Kagome interrupts, her hand slashing downward as she speaks in a
harsh tone. "You . . . you probably did have a good, even an excellent reason, for hijacking my
life. And, sometime in the future, I might actually thank you for changing my life. But, that day
is not today."

"What did he do?" Inu-yasha asks, as he continues to sit down. ‘She going to use the necklace
again, so there's no need to stand up.'

Kagome looks at Inu-yasha. She licks her lips, ‘how much do I tell him? I'm not even totally
sure about some of the changes in me, myself, so.'

She says, "How many demons and how much magic did you encounter on my side of the well?"

"Huh?" Inu-yasha sputters, "not much."

"Did you like the smell of the air? Or the taste of the water? Or all those huge buildings?"

"I hated them. Especially the water, drinking that, what did your mother call it, taps water, was
fucking horrible."

Kagome nods. "On my side of the well, Inu-yasha, mankind is destroying the world. Slowly, but
surely."

She points to Go-Shin-Boku-kami. "He, and his counterpart on my side of the well, want me to
change the world, Inu-yasha. They want me to prevent that from happening."

"How?" Inu-yasha asks, puzzled.

"There are plans." Go-Shin-Boku-kami begins to speak. Kagome's finger glows and a beam of
energy slams into his chest, knocking him down.

He sits up, patting his chest, a very shocked look on his face.
Everyone looks at Kagome, surprised expressions on every face.

Kagome looks at her finger. She blinks. "I didn't know that would happen?" she says in a low
shocked voice.

"The acorn has changed you." Go-Shin-Boku-kami grunts as he stands up. "As you grow and
age, your powers will develop. New powers will be created and your skill using them, will grow.
You need me to help you learn how to use them."

‘He's right.' Kagome thinks. ‘I can feel . . . things. Inside me, growing, changing.'

Kagome glares at him. "No. I won't. IF you had told me." She quickly runs to him and shoves
him in his chest, causing him to back up. "When this had started, If I had a choice, I'd give you a
chance now. But! You didn't!" She screams in his face.

She pushes Go-Shin-Boku-kami, again.

Inu-yasha and Sesshomaru exchange glances. They both have knowing smiles on their faces, and
they both share the same thought, ‘at least she's not angry at me . . . '

Go-Shin-Boku-kami licks his lips as he thinks, ‘hmm. Perhaps we did too good of a job with
her.'

Kagome pushes him, again. She growls, "Go away, Go-Shin-Boku-kami, I have no desire to
speak with, or hear from you. If you had treated me better, I would being treating you better.
But, you didn't."

"You're too young." He sputters, "you'll need help in controlling your powers and there are
plans that."

"No!" Kagome screams. "I'm not going to follow your plans!" She glares at him, breathing hard.
"I will change the world. I will make the future better. But, you are not going to help me."

Her hands begin to glow.

Power builds.

Sesshomaru and Inu-yasha share a glance and prepare to attack the god tree, again.

Kirara grows larger and prepares for combat.

Kagome will not have to fight Go-Shin-Boku-kami alone.

"We will finish this conversation later." Go-Shin-Boku-kami says as he vanishes.

Kagome flicks her eyes at where the god tree is normally located. Nothing is there. She smiles.

"Coward." Inu-yasha remarks, as he puts Tetsusaiga down.

Kagome spins to look at Inu-yasha. She takes a deep breath and the glow surrounding her fades
away. "No. He's just prefers to work in secret. He'll be back and try to change my mind, later."

"Will he?" Sesshomaru mummers.

Kagome's mouth twitches into a smile. "I'm stubborn. And my mind's made up."

Sesshomaru nods. His mouth twitches into a smile.

Inu-yasha nods, his mouth twitches into a smile


A timeless pause . . . as Kagome, Sesshomaru and Inu-yasha exchange glances.

Kagome licks her lips. She's obviously trying to gather the courage to speak.

Silence . . .

Inu-yasha silently snarls, as he is obviously trying to gather the courage to speak.

Silence . . .

Sesshomaru sighs, deeply. "Unless there is an objection, Kirara and I will go for a walk."

Silence . . .

Inu-yasha growls wordlessly, but nods

Kagome nods, as she looks at Inu-yasha.

Sesshomaru and Kirara leave.

Silence . . .

Timeless, silence . . .

The wind rifles through the trees and the grass. The birds sing in the trees.

Silence . . .

Kagome slowly walks up to Inu-yasha.

Inu-yasha stands, without moving, quivering from tension, watching her approach.

Kagome stops, as she stands facing Inu-yasha, separated by only centimeters. She looks up at
him. HE looks down at her.

She, still silently, reaches out to him with her right hand.

He grabs her hand and squeezes, hard.

"Please." She whimpers, and tears begin to form in her eyes.

He doesn't let go, but, he does allow her to move her hand.

Her fingers find his necklace.

She wraps her fingers around it.

"Kagome?" Inu-yasha whispers.

"I'm going to free you, Inu-yasha." She whispers. "Unless?"

He nods, once, sharply.

Kagome slides the necklace off him.

They both look at the necklace as it dangles from her hand.

"I would like to keep it."

Inu-yasha growls, harshly.

"Not, as a threat. But, as something to remember." Kagome whispers, her voice stuttering from
the tension.

Inu-yasha grabs the necklace, wrenching it from her grasp and he throws it away. "No."

Kagome breathes deeply, but she nods, accepting his action.

They look at each other, staring deeply into each other's eyes.

Silence . . .

"Why?" He moans in frustration.

Kagome sighs. "Because . . . I fell in love with him."
"Whore." He glares at her.


She glares at him. "I'm not going to get into a shouting match with you, Inu-yasha."

He growls, wordlessly.

"Sesshomaru." Another growl. "And I have fallen in love. But, I still love and I still care about
you, Inu-yasha."

He breathes deeply, obviously trying to control himself.

She reaches out with her right hand, trying to touch his cheek.

He grabs her wrist, stopping her.

"I don't want to hurt you, Inu-yasha." She whispers, tears in her eyes. "I don't want to hurt him,
either. What I want is for, somehow, everything to work out so we all can live happily ever
after."

Inu-yasha grunts. "Your mother's dream." He spits out.

She nods. Her mouth twitches into a smile. "It's a good dream, right?"

He grunts. ‘The less I say, the better I off I'll be.' He thinks.

"I don't know what Sesshomaru told you, Inu-yasha." She begins to whisper. "All I can do is tell
you the truth."

"What is the truth?" he snarls that question at her.

"That, somehow, I love two males." Kagome's lips twist into a smile. "I am sorry for using that
term, Inu-yasha. Would you prefer a demon and a half-demon?"

He grunts, but doesn't answer.

"Both of whom, I'm sure, would be destroyed if I hurt and reject them." Kagome pauses.

Inu-yasha doesn't move.

Kagome whispers, "Since you didn't say no, I'll assume you mean yes."

A pause . . .

Inu-yasha doesn't move.


"How can hurt someone that I love?" Kagome whispers.

"You're doing a great fucking job of it." Inu-yasha snarls, anger filling his voice.

Kagome bows her head. "I know. And, I'm sorry. I wish I knew of a better way to do this."

"Then reject him!" Inu-yasha hisses. "He's tricking you! I know him. This has to be part of
some plan to get Tetsusaiga!" he pats his sword.

Kagome raises her head. "No. Inu-yasha. You're wrong." She says in a sure tone of voice. "He
and I shared our souls. I traveled into his very being and helped him rebuild his very soul. I
know him, in ways I don't know you."

They stare into each other eyes.

"I wish I can make you feel my love for you." Kagome whispers. "I wish I could make you
understand."

Inu-yasha, instead of staring at her, or growling at her, blinks. His eyes unfocus and he shakes
himself.

"Inu-yasha?" she whispers.

"Nothing." He growls.


A pause

"You said, that you want the three of us to live happily ever after." Inu-yasha slowly begins to
ask.

Kagome, instantly, hugs him, tight. Inu-yasha can feel his ribs creak as she squeezes. "Thank
you." She kisses his chest and begins to spread kisses up his chest and neck. "I love you." She
whispers as she kisses him.

Inu-yasha pries her off him and shakes his head no. "I have not promised anything."

"Thank you for listening, Inu-yasha." Tears begin to form in her eyes as she says that. "I never
expected you to listen."

Inu-yasha growls. ‘That sounded bad. But how to find out exactly what she meant?' he thinks.

Kagome takes a deep breath. "How did I want us to live together?"

He nods.

Kagome smiles, "First, I did not." She emphasizes the word ‘not', "expect us to live in the same
rooms together."

He blinks, confused. "You don't want to fuck me and him at the same time!" blurts out of his
mouth.

Kagome smiles. "No. Neither you, nor Sesshomaru would like that, Inu-yasha. I don't expect all
three of us to share a futon."

‘I would like to.' She thinks. ‘If anything would cure them of their jealousy for each other,
sharing a bed with me, would do it. But, I don't think either one would agree to it. And if they
did, they'd only agree to it, in order to mess things up.' Her panties get wet at the thought of Inu-
yasha and Sesshomaru in bed with her at the same time.

Inu-yasha's nostrils flare. "You're lying." He states.

Kagome sighs. "Ok. Yes, I would like it." She smiles, "between the fertility festival and the
night in the geisha house in Kyoto, I find that I don't mind group sex, Inu-yasha."

‘I'm not going mention, right now, everything I did with Sesshomaru.' She thinks.

He growls, loudly. He hands from into fists. ‘She's been around Miroku too much.' He thinks.

"And if you're going to blame someone, don't blame Miroku. If anybody, blame me or perhaps
Uzume." Kagome whispers.

"Uzume . . . the whore." Inu-yasha growls out.


"But," she says in firm tone. "You don't and Sesshomaru doesn't, really, like group sex. So, I'm
not going to ask you and him into my futon at the same time."

She sighs, and in a wistful tone, whispers, "that would probably solve the jealousy problems
between the two of you, but, the argument before we retire to the futon would be horrible, and
destroy the mood."

She smiles, sexily, "besides, I do enjoy our private time together, Inu-yasha."

Inu-yasha bits his lips and asks, "Sesshomaru mentioned some sort of plan?" he shifts his pants,
trying to get comfortable.

Kagome nods. "Yes, he and I have had a chance to talk and plan about this, Inu-yasha." She
pauses, collecting her thoughts.

"First, Inu-yasha, I meant what I said, earlier. I have no plans to become Sesshomaru's wife.
And he has no plans to ask me."

"Why?" blunt hard suspicion is in his voice.

"Because, I'm human, of course." Kagome replies.

She pauses and shakes her head as she thinks, ‘I don't think that applies anymore, though. I'm
feeling, strange. I wish I had a couple of days alone, to meditate and discover myself again. The
acorn has changed me, and I'm afraid, that I'm human anymore.'

"And?" inu-yasha props.

"And, Sesshomaru's side of your family would never accept me as his wife. It would cause
tremendous difficulties." She looks at Inu-yasha. She whispers. "Many of which stem from
memories of your mother, Inu-yasha."

He grunts. "He told you about her?" he whispers.

She nods. "Yes, though. I think that you need to hear about it from his lips, not mine."

Inu-yasha grinds his teeth together, but doesn't say anything.

"And, I do wish to become your wife, Inu-yasha." Kagome reaches out and touches his chest.
Inu-yasha lets her. "I do want to be the mother of your children."

"You mean that?" Inu-yasha blurts out.

Kagome nods. "Yes."

They look into each other's eyes.

"So." Inu-yasha hisses. "You would become my wife, and Sesshomaru's mistress, I assume."

"Pretty much." Kagome replies. "He and I have talked, and I know that with his responsibilities,
he'll be gone a lot. So, you and I will have plenty of time to be together." She smiles, "At least I
hope and think so."

"What about between he and I?" Inu-yasha asks. "What does he have planned?"

Kagome licks her lips. "Don't you want him to tell you?"

Inu-yasha shakes his head. "No. You tell me."

Kagome takes a deep breath. "He plans on deposing his mother and taking control of his and
your family. You, as his younger brother, would become the second in command." She looks at
Tetsusaiga. "As your father intended when he created those swords."

Inu-yasha looks at his sword and places his hand on its hilt. "My mother always told me that I
was to be the head of the family." He whispers.

"As head of the family," Kagome begins, "you would be forced to be polite, be diplomatic. You
have to sit through all those boring ceremonies. Which would you prefer, Sesshomaru being
forced to go through that boring idiocy, or you?"

Inu-yasha smiles and he begins to chuckle. He starts to laugh.

Kagome smiles and laughs with him.

"I always knew he was a stupid bastard." Inu-yasha finally chokes out as he stops laughing.

"Well?" Kagome asks as she stops laughing

Inu-yasha takes a deep breath. ‘Well?' he thinks. ‘What do I do? The thought of anybody, but
me, even touching her boils my blood. What did they talk about? What did she learn about him
to cause her to be so loyal to him?'

He frowns. "What else did you talk about?" he blurts out.

"Huh?" Kagome pauses. "A lot of things, Inu-yasha. While we were in deadly combat many
times, there were quiet times. And, we'd talk." She looks at Inu-yasha. "We'd talk about
anything, Inu-yasha."

"Anything?"

She nods. "All the talks that I'd wish we would have had." She reaches up and touches his jaw.
"He and I have had."

"My brother talking?" absolute amazement colors his voice.

"Yes. He even had nice things to say about my school and education."

"Fucking brown-nosing suck-up." Inu-yasha growls.

"Why?" Kagome asks. "Aren't you interested in what I think? About what I like? I know that I
would love to know what you think. I want to know what you like."

Inu-yasha opens his mouth, but, for perhaps the first time in his life, he does not say the first
thing that comes to mind.

Kagome's eyes twinkle. "Well, Inu-yasha?"

Inu-yasha thinks, ‘what do I do? She wants me to say yes. But, how can I?'

Kagome thinks, ‘Do I mention that I thought the arraignment among the three of us reminded me
of a man and his wife and mistress. But with me playing the male part, and inu-yasha and
Sesshomaru playing the female parts? No. He definitely would hate that and cause him to say
no.'

Inu-yasha licks his lips. He looks around.

‘Hmm.' Kagome thinks. ‘Even if I don't mention it, perhaps, I should act like the man. A man
would propose, so.'

Kagome kneels down before Inu-yasha. She takes his rough, scarred, clawed hand in her soft
hands. She looks up at inu-yasha.

"Inu-yasha." She whispers, blinking with tears in her eyes. "I love you." A deep breath. "Will
you marry me?"

Inu-yasha's eyes open wide. His jaw drops in surprise.

Kagome kneels, looking up at him, waiting for him to speak.

He opens his mouth . . .

End chapter 18

Yes, Another evil cliffhanger.
