Kagome's return ch 20

Kagome and Inu-yasha part 2

A pause as they look into each other's eyes again.

"Inu-yasha?" Kagome whispers.

"Yes?"

She blinks. Her eyes begin to tear up. "You haven't said that
you love me."

Inu-yasha frowns, as he thinks. ‘I haven't, have I. No. I don't
remember saying that.'

"This isn't going to work," Kagome's voice catches from the
emotion in it. "Unless we all love other." She pauses. "If."

She pauses, again, licking her lips. She looks at the ground.
"IF." She repeats, "if you don't love me and you are only saying
that you'll marry me out of some perverse desire to hurt me and
Sesshomaru, then please tell me. Don't lie to me. Please."


‘Do I love her?' Inu-yasha thinks. ‘What is love? I've always
wanted her body, but that's lust, not love. So, what is love? I
don't know. I'm not a poet. And, while Miroku is, I don't trust
his love poetry.' He frowns, as he continues his internal debate.
‘If I do love her, then, I will want to be with her, through
anything.'

A pause . . .

"Inu-yasha?" She whispers again, her throat choking from
suppressed emotions.

His clawed hand reaches out and grabs her chin, lifting her head.
He thinks, ‘Anything means, even sharing her with my brother. If
I don't love her. Then, I can live without her. But.' A pause.
‘But, without her, my life would become what it was before I meet
Kikyo. I would become the thief, bandit, and murderer that I was
before . . . '





Kagome's tear-filled eyes, blinks, as she tries to look into his
eyes.

"Kagome." He whispers. He leans close to her.



Inu-yasha opens his mouth and whispers. "I love you."

He kisses her.


Kagome melts into his arms as he hugs her, tightly.

"I love you." She whispers as they break the kiss. She begins to
pepper his face with kisses as she rubs herself against him.

He grabs her and kisses her face as well. Their lips brush
against each's other face, trying to memorize the other's face.

His hands reach down and grab her ass and he begins to grind it
against his groin.

Kagome feels his maleness grow and expand as she grinds herself
against him.

Inu-yasha, suddenly, pushes Kagome away from him.

"Inu-yasha?" Kagome asks, a very disappointed look on her face.

"How much of what I'm feeling is real?" He asks.

"I don't understand?"

"Earlier, when you said that you wished me to feel your love. I
felt it."

"You did?" amazement colors Kagome's voice.

He nods. "Yes. I felt your emotions, Kagome."

Kagome blinks. "And your wondering if you're feeling them again?"
her eyes flick to his groin. "And you're wondering if that is my
lust?"

He nods. "Am I?"

"I don't know." Kagome says in a low voice. "That must be one of
those new powers the god tree was talking about." Her voice
trails off. "Ok. Tell me if you feel anything."

She turns around and places her hands at her temples as she
thinks.

A pause.

"Anything?" she asks.

"Nope."

A pause.

Inu-yasha growls, instinctively, he reaches out and grabs her,
wrapping her in his arms, as his head scans the area. ‘I can feel
her fear.' He thinks.

"What was that?" he whispers into her ear, as she relaxes into
his arms.

"That was I thinking about someone I met during my travels with
Sesshomaru."

"Who?" he asks, instantly. ‘Who could have caused that much
fear?'

"We went to a world, Inu-yasha, where I was evil. Where you were
evil." Inu-yasha stiffens. Kagome continues, "I was thinking
about how afraid I was that I could become evil."

"Never." He hisses.

"I'll pray, every day, that it never happens, Inu-yasha, since I
don't want that to happen. Right now, I'll pledge to do
everything that I can to make today, better than yesterday."

"For who?"

"For everyone that I know."

"you know that there will be days, that you can't make something
better."

"I know, but, I'll going to try."

A pause, as inu-yasha still holds Kagome.

Kagome sighs. "And you felt that fear."

Inu-yasha nods.

"I must be able to broadcast my emotions, then." Kagome shakes
her head. "But, I don't know how it works. I was thinking about
my feelings about Naraku, the first time, but you didn't feel
that. But, you felt my fear for myself." She says in a low voice,
obviously talking to herself, more than inu-yasha.

She wiggles her way free of his grasp and turns around facing
him. "And, can I feel your emotions?" She asks.

He shrugs.

"Try to think about an emotion, Inu-yasha. I want to see if I can
tell what emotion you're feeling, please."

He nods.

A pause.

‘I'll think about my feelings about Sesshomaru's stupid plan.' He
thinks.

Kagome frowns. "I'm feeling something. Jealousy, possessiveness .
. . but, I also feel animal lust and something else . . .
Love?" she whispers. "What are you thinking about?"

Inu-yasha snarls. "Nothing."


"Then try again, Inu-yasha." Kagome asks. A pause, then she says,
"perhaps, this might help."

"What?"

"I'll describe something that happened while I was with
Sesshomaru and see if I can feel your emotions."

He grunts, pauses, then nods.

"We visited a world, inu-yasha," Kagome pauses, as she considers
which world to choose from. "A world in which magic didn't exist,
or if it did, it was so small that Sesshomaru, your brother,
almost died."

Inu-yasha's eyebrows twitch upward.

Kagome frowns, as she thinks, ‘I am feeling something, but I'll
finish my story first. I don't think that he'll tell me about his
feelings. At least not yet, Like Sesshomaru, we'll have to be
alone, for a week or more, before he really starts to open up.'

She continues to speak with, "we were attacked. I had no magic,
and he had no magic."

Inu-yasha breath deepens. "He almost sacrificed his life, so I
could escape."

Inu-yasha's teeth grind, together.

Kagome slowly nods, but continues, "some of the humans that
attacked us, chased after me." She pauses, then meets Inu-yasha's
eyes as she continues. "In order to kill them, so I could escape,
I had to pretend to be a slut. I bit one of their penises off,
and then, stealing a knife, sliced the other's throat."

"Did you?" Inu-yasha hisses.

"There was only one way to make sure that I would have surprise
on my side, Inu-yasha." Kagome says in a dead voice.


His hands close into fists. Blood begins to drip from them.

"I stole their clothes and their weapons. Using them, I rescued
Sesshomaru."

Inu-yasha takes a relieving deep breath. "You rescued him?" he
says in a shocked tone.

"As I rescued him, he was being raped." She says in a dead voice.

Inu-yasha's jaws grind together.

Kagome's lips form a whisper of a smile. "I enjoyed watching him
rip the heart out of the bastard that was raping him. That was a
far kinder death than that diseased animal that looked like a
human deserved."

Inu-yasha's eyes widen at that statement.

Kagome reaches out and touches inu-yasha's bleeding fist. "Now,
do you understand the bond that has developed between Sesshomaru
and I?"

They look into each other's eyes.

He, slowly, very reluctantly, nods.


Kagome sighs, "And, I could feel your emotions, as well." She
whispers.

She thinks, ‘If I can feel people's emotions, that should help me
with Sesshomaru and Inu-yasha. Since I'll be able to feel their
emotions, I hope I can control their fights better. So, hopefully
the arguments that might turn into hate filled fights, I can
stop, before they get that bad.'


Her fists form and she slams it against her thigh. "What else
will happen to me?" she whispers.

"Kagome?" Inu-yasha whispers as he gently grabs her shoulders.

Kagome melts into his hug. "Just hold me, please." She whispers.

They stand there, Kagome buried in his arms.

A timeless pause . . .

"I could stay here forever." She whispers.

"I would hold you forever." He whispers.

"I know."

Another pause . . .


"Do you we need to talk about anything else, or should we find
Sesshomaru?" Kagome asks.

"What about that bastard of a god tree on your side of the well."
Inu-yasha growls in anger.

Kagome takes a step back from him. ‘Ouch!' she thinks. ‘I felt
his anger, sooo strongly. This ability to feel emotions, might be
harder than I thought.'

Inu-yasha's eyes narrow. "Did that hurt you? I felt something
from you?"

"Yes. This ability to feel emotions and broadcast them, might be
more troublesome than I thought." Kagome replies in a distracted
tone. "There. I think I've turned it off." She shakes her head.
"But, I don't know."

Inu-yasha grunts. "So, what about the bastard."

Kagome looks at him. She pauses. "Inu-yasha, I would greatly
prefer if you, and Sesshomaru, or anybody, for that matter, do
not attack him."

"Why?"

Kagome takes a deep breath. "There's a couple of reasons, Inu-
yasha. But, the most important one."

She gazes into his eyes, as she whispers, "he's my father."

Inu-yasha takes a deep breath. "You're sure?"

She nods.

Inu-yasha's lungs pump air in and out, as he takes a couple of
deep breaths. "Shit. There went that dream of ripping his balls
off." He mumbles under his breath.

Kagome's lips twist into a smile. "I didn't say that I love him,
Inu-yasha."

His eyes light up. "You mean I can?"

"I don't know, but threatening him with that, might be useful."

Inu-yasha eyes narrow. "That trip with Sesshomaru." He pauses.

"Yes?" she asks, in genuine curiosity.

"It hardened you. You would not have made that comment before."

Kagome pauses. Her eyes unfocus as she thinks. She slowly nods,
and says in a low pained tone. "You are right, Inu-yasha. I had
to do things. I saw things." She sighs, heavily.

She looks at him. "Are you upset about it?"

He growls, "Aren't you feeling my emotions?"

She shakes her head, no. "No. I'm not. Until I can learn to
control it, I'm not going to use that power much."

He grunts, accepting that reply.


"Are you upset about the changes in me?" Kagome whispers.

Inu-yasha sighs. "I don't know. I was used to you, before. Now?"

"Another reason to spend a lot of time together." Kagome says in
a very determined voice.

Inu-yasha nods.

"Anything else?" Kagome whispers. "That we need to talk about
before we go find Sesshomaru and Kirara."

‘There are more things that we need to talk about.' Inu-yasha
thinks. ‘But, since we're going to be alone, together, later, we
can talk about them then.'

"You're worried about Sango?" he asks.

She nods. "It's her brother more than her." She replies. "Nobody
knows what is happening to his mind."

Inu-yasha grunts. "Let's find them."

Later, near the well.

Sesshomaru, Kirara, Inu-yasha and Kagome are standing at the
well.

"Inu-yasha, you can take Kirara." Kagome orders, "I'll hold
Sesshomaru's hand."

"No." Inu-yasha growls. "I'll take him."

Sesshomaru's eyebrow raises, but he doesn't say a thing.

‘He doesn't want me to even touch Sesshomaru.' Kagome thinks.

"IF the three of us are supposed to get along, I'd better get
used to him." Inu-yasha growls.

Kagome, pauses, then nods. "Ok. Kirara?" she holds out her arms
for Kirara to jump into. Kirara jumps into Kagome's arms.

Kagome thinks. ‘If I say that we go together, they could think
that I don't trust them. And, while, I don't trust them all that
much, if I act like that, then, whatever hope that there is about
the three of us goes down the drain, right now. So, I've got to
trust them . . . '

"I'll meet you on the other side." Kagome says, with a smile to
both men as she and Kirara vanish into the well.

"She trusts us to follow her." Sesshomaru says.

Inu-yasha grunts.

"And if we don't follow, quickly, she'll get upset." He
continues.

"I, fucking, know that." Inu-yasha growls.

Sesshomaru holds out his hand, palm up. He has already cut it, so
blood is oozing from it.

Inu-yasha's lips curl into a silent snarl. But, he cuts his hand
and grabs his brothers.

Both men squeeze their brother's hand . . . hard, as they stare
into each other's eyes.

Muscles strain and bugle on both arms.

The blood that is oozing between their palm stands out against
the whiteness of their hands, as they've squeezed the blood out
of each other.

Neither moves as they continue to stare into each other's eyes.

Tendons' pop out of their wrists from the strain.

Both brothers are taking long, hard deep breaths as they continue
their staring contest.

POP

CRACKLE

Bones in each hand begin to break from the pressure.

Both brothers flick their eyes at the well, and, in an instant,
both jump into the well.

On the other side of the well . . .

Kagome is staring down the well, waiting for Inu-yasha and
Sesshomaru to arrive.

‘If I have to chase after them.' She thinks, ‘I'll make sure that
I have that dog whistle. After I blow that a couple of times,
Inu-yasha will wish he still had his necklace.'

Both brothers appear at the bottom of the well.

They release each other's hand.

"You've got a good grip."

"You, also, have a firm grip."

Both, as they jump out of the well and follow Kagome, hold their
hand behind them and will their healing powers to repair their
hands . . .

"Kagome." Inu-yasha says in a low voice, as they leave the well
house.

"Yes, Inu-yasha?" She pauses, and turns to him.

"I think, that me and Sesshomaru need to talk about, ah, things."
Inu-yasha says, "Especially before you make any announcement or
such."

‘I'm going to make that announcement.' He thinks, ‘not her. There
is no way that Miroku is going to hear about this before I get
the chance to beat his perversions out of him.'

Kagome out her mouth. ‘But, I've already told them.' She thinks.

But, before she can say that, Sesshomaru says. "Go ahead, Lady
Kagome. I would like to speak with Inu-yasha."


Kagome sighs, but nods. She turns around and walks into the
house.

Inu-yasha and Sesshomaru turn and stare at each other.

A pause . . .

"You know this place better than I do." Sesshomaru states.
"Where, around here, can we have some privacy?"

Inu-yasha turns and points. "There's a park in that direction. It
should work."

They leave . . .


Inside the house.


Kagome closes the front door behind her. She lets Kirara go.
Kirara begins to explore the house.

Kagome's mother, her three friends, Rin, Shippo, Sota and Miroku
are in the living room.

Yuka ran home and brought over her Aliens and Lord of the Rings
movies, so everyone could see what Kagome was talking about. Sota
has brought out his dinosaur books and figures, for the same
reason.

Sango is upstairs with her brother.

A pause.

"Inu-yasha and Sesshomaru?" Mrs. H asks, once it is obvious that
they are not with Kagome.

"They." Kagome pauses, gathering her thoughts, "they are on this
side of the well, mother. They just wanted to talk, in private,
for a few minutes."

"But, they agreed, right?" Eri asks.

A smile begins to appear on Kagome's face. It rapidly blooms into
a full fledged, glowing smile. "Yes. He said yes."

Mrs. h rapidly crosses the room and hugs Kagome, tightly.
"Everything is Ok?" she whispers as she releases her daughter.

"Inu-yasha is talking, not fighting." Kagome whispers back. "As
long as that happens, everything is ok."

"Great!" Shippo moans, as he sits on the floor, next to a couple
of dinosaur figures. "Now I have to nice to both idiots."

Kagome quickly walks over and picks him up. "And, they'll have to
be nice to you, as well, Shippo."

"Ha! Neither one of them can even spell the word, ‘nice', much
less knows what it means!"

"Then we'll have to teach them." Kagome says.

"Hah!"

"I will help you, sister." Miroku says as he sits in the chair.

Kagome looks at him. "Thank you." She nods.

"Kohaku is awake!" Sango cries from Kagome's room.

Kagome, Miroku and the rest rush up the stairs. ‘We'll have to
finish that conversation later.' Kagome thinks. ‘Shippo's not
going to like the idea of inu-yasha and I leaving for a month,
but, I've got to tell him.'

‘I'm going to hate this.' Shippo thinks. ‘Kagome will be spending
time with Inu-yasha and Sesshomaru, not with me. I'm going to
have to change that.'

He frowns. ‘But, if I start to interfere between Kagome, Inu-
yasha and Sesshomaru, she'll dislike that. Does that matter? Of
course it does. I don't want her mad at me. But, if I don't . .
. she won't pay attention to me.'

He pauses his internal debate. ‘I'm going to have to think about
this. I can't stand the thought of Kagome not paying attention to
me. But, if I interfere, she'll hate me.'

Kagome enters her room. "Is everything ok?" she asks.

(Evil author strikes . . . )

outside, at the park, hidden in a clump of trees is a small
clearing in the center of that clearing . . .

Inu-yasha and Sesshomaru are staring at each other.

"Exactly," Inu-yasha begins, "Are we going to share her?" He
grinds his teeth, as he finishes, obviously angry.

"A very good question, Inu-yasha." Sesshomaru smiles, but that
smile, only touches his lips, not his hard eyes, as he prepares
for battle.

Inu-yasha fingers the hilt of his sword. "Let's talk, then."

"Talk?" Sesshomaru says, as he looks at the hilt. "Shall we talk,
or have a conversation, like we had with the god tree?"

End of the chapter . . .




Authors' note: I am a sports fan, and I do enjoy watching the
Olympics, so, doing that will take up some of my free time. I'm
still going to post on my normal schedule, but the size of each
chapter, could be and probably will be smaller than normal.

Thank you for reading
