InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Lady Kagome ❯ Chapter 46 ( Chapter 46 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Kagome laid Inu Yasha on the bed within their tent as Kouga walked in. Kouga looked at Inu Yasha with concern. Despite them being rivals in the past, Kouga held a deep respect for Inu Yasha. He knew it was hard for the hanyou as his tribes before he had met Kagome had killed any hanyou offspring.
"Kagome- neechan, is there anything we can do? Despite my dislike of Inu Trasha, he fought well and has earned the respect enough in my pack," Kouga asked.
"Hai. Warm water, plenty of towels, bandaging. Please hurry," Kagome said, ignoring his vulgar name for Inu Yasha, and thenpeeling both the outer and inner haori from Inu Yasha's bloodied body.
"How is he?" Sesshoumaru asked, walking in.
"He passed out. The miasma is trying to eat at his wounds, however he will make it. He has been through worse. I remember a certain demon lord who impaled him with poison claws. It was a nasty wound that he about sent me home forever. He thought you would have killed me," Kagome replied, looking straight at Sesshoumaru.
"Yes, I recall that day. I was angry that he and you had defied me yet again," Sesshoumaru replied, observing Inu Yasha's current state.
Kouga came in with the items requested, "Well, looks like your friends are okay. I assume Lord Sesshoumaru had revived him."
"Yes Lord Kouga, I did revive them using the Tenseiga. What of your pack?" Sesshoumaru inquired.
"My pack suffered losses, but my own mate and closest pack brothers made it. We will be leaving soon to go back," Kouga replied, trying to sound unaffected, but he had never taught himself to school his facial features, so he looked pained at knowing the loss his pack had taken.
Kagome had accepted the items from Kouga graciously and immediately set to work on cleaning Inu Yasha up. The miasma was not hard to wipe away. It took a bit of her healing powers and the warm water to get the junk to sluff off. Once she had wiped that away, she closed the hole, focusing on reforming the damaged organs, blood vessels and skin. Once she was done, she smiled up at Sesshoumaru.
"There, he is healed. Only a matter of time until he wakes up as good as new, " Kagome yawned.
"Koi, rest. When we are awake, we still have the jewel to fused together," Sesshoumaru said, taking his tattered clothes off and replacing his hakamas with some fresh ones.
Kagome nodded and laid down, immediately falling asleep.
"How are they?" Sango asked Kouga.
"They are fine. Inu Yasha took a tentacle to the stomach and the miasma was a bit much for him, otherwise they are okay. They are all exhausted. The three of them fought harder than the majority of us. Seems only Kagome came out unscathed, but I expected so. Black Inu youkai quickly regenerate and it is rare to see them with scratches. She is also a miko, so I imagine that she had not been aware of her barrier around herself to keep from being touched by blade or claw," Kouga replied, andthen spotted Kagura and Kanna.
Kouga growled, and Sango followed his line of sight. Sango knew that Kagura had killed a lot of his brethren, but had to stop him. Kagura had been a mere pawn and did not deserve Kouga’s wrath. Sango imagined that Kagura had nightmares of the things she had to endure under Naraku’s control.
"Don't Kouga. Kagome wanted them alive. They were Naraku's slaves by force. They will not be prisoners of war," Sango said, holding Kouga back.
"She's right Kouga. I know that she killed off a lot of your pack, but she really did not want to do it. She already feels bad for what she has done," Miroku spoke up.
"Then she will help rebuild my den for her transgressions. She will mate Ginta and Hakkuku," Kouga replied, loud enough for Kagura to hear.
"If it pleases you, my lord, then I will do it," Kagura bowed, sighing sadly.
Although it was not exactly something she wanted, she had nowhere to go. She could not go be a youkai geisha again, so she would comply to Kouga’s demand. It was the least she could do. Plus, Ginta and Hakukku did not look so bad despite their choice to wear strange hairstyles.
"You may take your sister, Kagura. Ginta, Hakkuku, retrieve your mate- to- be. We will leave tomorrow morning at dawn to go back to the den," Kouga commanded.
"Yes, Kouga," Ginta smiled, then scooped Kagura up. "Kanna, you will follow."
The void child and Hakkuku followed slowly behind.
"Well, that went better than I thought," Sango said, stroking Kirara's head.
Miroku hugged Sango to himself, "What about us, my lovely Sango? Would you do me the honour of bearing my children and making this pervert a happy man for the rest of his life?"
Sango turned around and looked up, her eyes full of tears, "You mean it? You would marry this ugly taijiya? I am not as beautiful as all the girls we have seen in the villages during our journey. My body has many scars from battle."
“Hush, Sango. I know and that doesn't matter. You are far more fetching than the girls we've seen and I have already voiced long ago that you were my woman," Miroku said, and leaned down to kiss Sango on the lips.
Sango blushed, and shoved away the itching habit of slapping him, and let his lips descend upon hers. Miroku was ecstatic. He was finally kissing Sango!
'Oh Kami! I've been waiting for this for a long time.'
Kirara managed to squirm out of Sango's arms, allowing the couple to embrace even better. Kirara was happy her mistress had finally succumbed to Miroku, instead of hitting him. For some time, she knew they belonged together.
It was late evening when Inu Yasha finally awoke. He looked at his stomach, thinking he was bandaged, but it was not so. He was bare chested and his wound healed. Kagome stirred next to him and he turned to his side of watch her wake.
"Hi," he smiled gazing into her grey blue orbs.
"Hi," she smiled back then kissed him. "We've been waiting for you to wake. I didn't want to fuse the jewel together until I was certain you were okay."
Inu Yasha peered over Kagome's shoulder to see his older brother nuzzled into Kagome's hair.
"I am not sure how you did it, koiishi, but my brother is so in love with you," Inu Yasha cupped her cheek with his hand.
His heart felt so warm. Tears pricked the corners of her eyes.
‘Damn, she is beautiful. This feeling spreading throughout me is overwhelming.’
"I know and it makes me happy," she said, then nudged Sesshoumaru to wake.
Sesshoumaru opened his amber eyes, at first hard as steel, but softened when seeing both his brother and Kagome awake and well.
"We must put the jewel together and make a wish," Kagome said. "What should I wish for."
"Koi, any wish from you I am certain will turn out selfless. You decide," Sesshoumaru replied, hugging Kagome's body close to his chest.
Kagome sat up and pulled out the shards. She pulled her body into prayer, her eyes closed, and her hands together with the jewel in between. A pink light covered her body, as her hair picked up with the winds that the power had produced. Soon it died down, and Kagome opened her hands. The jewel was finally whole again and pulsing in a soft white light.
"What is your wish, my dearest niece?" Midoriko's voice asked from within the jewel.
Kagome looked around and saw Sango and Miroku at the entrance of the tent, then looked at Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha waiting. They looked so nervous, not knowing what would happen. Kagome's chest constricted that possibly this was the last moment that she would see them until the future. She sighed sadly.
"Aunt Midoriko. Though I have no memory of you, I hope that you have been okay. My only wish is that the people who had survived the battle against the evil hanyou Naraku live to be happy," she smiled, the tears threatening to spill over.
"That is a noble wish. It will be done," Midoriko said, the jewel's powers pulsing to the point that the white light was blinding.
Kagome felt her body losing its solidity and threw herself at Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha, hugging them.
"Aishiteru!" she said crying as she felt her fading fast.
Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha were alarmed, trying to hold onto Kagome, but it was unsuccessful. She was fading in their arms.
"We will wait for you!" she heard Sesshoumaru said, his eyes sad.
Kagome swore his eyes were moistening with tears. Inu Yasha was already frustrated and in tears as she looked like a ghost to them, barely visible.
Kagome blinked and found herself at the bottom of the well in the future, the well house roof above. She fell over, the tears already dripping fast down her cheeks.
"Oh Kami! I hope they are alive still," she sobbed, the weight of knowing they were 500 years in the past overwhelming as she hugged herself on the dirt floor of the well.
"Kagome- neechan, is there anything we can do? Despite my dislike of Inu Trasha, he fought well and has earned the respect enough in my pack," Kouga asked.
"Hai. Warm water, plenty of towels, bandaging. Please hurry," Kagome said, ignoring his vulgar name for Inu Yasha, and thenpeeling both the outer and inner haori from Inu Yasha's bloodied body.
