InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Love Conquers All ❯ Starting Over ( Chapter 2 )

A/N:

 

Well here is the second chapter of Love Conquers All. I really hope that everyone likes it. I have worked hard on this story; I have had bad writer's block and finally overcame it when I suddenly got the idea lol. I bet some of you are thinking about damn time.

 

I will try and work on my other stories but I still have writer's block on those. Who knows, I might get an idea out of nowhere. We will have to wait and see. I would like to thank everyone that reviewed my story. Thank you so much.

 

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha but I sure as hell wish I owned Sesshoumaru!

 

Love Conquers All

 

Chapter Two:Starting Over

 

 

“Rin, wake up. We will be landing in California soon.”

 

Rin woke with a start and stared around her in excitement. She couldn't wait to live in California and she kept telling Sesshoumaru that on the flight until she had fallen asleep.

 

Sesshoumaru smiled at the little girl's excitement but he had to admit even he himself was feeling a bit excited as well. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. All there was to do now was wait for the plane to land and then start over.

 

`I am truly sorry for what I have done but there was nothing more I could do. I had to do it for Rin, living the life I was could seriously injure her future. I want her to be a happy girl and live a good full life. I don't want it shortened by the thought of Mafia or anyone sneaking up behind you in the middle of the night to try and kill you. I know I did the right thing for her and only if Kagome Higurashi could see it that way.' Sesshoumaru was jarred out of his thoughts when the intercom came on.

 

“Ladies and gentlemen, I want to be the first to welcome you to the great state of California. You will be able to get your things at gate 3C. Thank you for flying with us this trip and we wish you luck. Please make sure to stay seated until the plane has come to a complete stop. Thank you.”

 

“Sesshoumaru-sama, Rin is excited. We are finally here in California… we are in… uh… in…”

 

“Sacramento Rin but if you do not like it here we can always find a different place to live.”

 

“Okay Sesshoumaru-sama, let's get our stuff now, please.”

 

Sesshoumaru unbuckled his and Rin's seatbelt and stood. He got his carry-on out from the overhead department and had Rin get in front of him. They slowly walked in the line to get out of the plane. It didn't take long seeing as they were in first class.

 

Sesshoumaru made his way off the loading ramp and headed for Gate 3C to get his and Rin's luggage. Rin was trotting along beside him being unusually quite in her excitement. Sesshoumaru looked back behind him to see if Rin was alright and surely she was. She was gathering in all the sights that she now beheld. Before they could get their luggage though they had to go through immigration and boy would that be fun (Being sarcastic here).

 

 

 

With Inuyasha

 

“I wonder what Kagome is up to? I wonder if she is alright?” he couldn't help but say to himself.

 

Inuyasha was finishing getting ready for school when his cell phone rang. He picked up the red flip phone before looking at who was calling. He frowned as he who it was.

 

`Damn nosy bitch.' Inuyasha thought.

 

Inuyasha: “Yes, Kagura what do ya want?”

 

Kagura: “Aw, Inu-baby I was just callin' to see if you would go to the dance with me?”

 

Inuyasha: “Hell fucking no! I already have a date.”

 

Kagura: “Oh really? Who are you taking to the dance then?”

 

Inuyasha: “Kagura that really is none of your business but to get you off of my back I will tell ya. Her name is Kagome Higurashi.”

 

Kagura: “Oh my god! Inuyasha you're going to go to the dance with THAT freak?”

 

Inuyasha: “She isn't a freak Kagura. You don't even know her so you have no room to talk. Are you done? I need to finish getting ready for school.”

 

Kagura humphed and hung up the phone. Inuyasha grinned as he thought about what he had just told Kagura. It wouldn't hurt to see if Kagome would go with him, it might be fun.

 

Inuyasha walked down the hallway to the kitchen. He fixed himself a bowl of Ramen and then set out for his car but before he could get in and drive away his father grabbed hold of his shoulder to stop him.

 

“What is the big deal, old man?”

 

“Don't take that tone with me, young man! I just came to tell you to be careful around Kagome Higurashi because if her power gets too much for her she will have to let it out and you know what that would mean for you don't you?”

 

Inuyasha thought for a moment and then realized what his father was saying. If Kagome's powers became uncontrollable there was a big chance that he could get fried in the process. Inuyasha looked at his father and nodded his head before getting in his car and starting it.

 

Inuyasha drove towards the shrine contemplating if he should tell Kagome he was a hanyou… before or after he asked her to the dance. He slowed as he approached the shrine. He stopped in front of it and honked twice.

 

Inuyasha saw Kagome walking slowly down the steps with the saddest face you could ever see on a person. He knew the reason too and he wouldn't be able to comfort her unless he spilled the beans or she flat out told him everything.

 

Kagome slowly walked to Inuyasha's car and got in. She looked at him and smiled slightly before burying her face in her hands and giving a light sob. Inuyasha wanted to know if she would confide in him so he went ahead and asked his question.

 

“Kagome, are you okay?”

 

“I… I am… miserable. I found this letter my father wrote me and I don't… I don't know… I don't know what to do.” She said and sobbed her heart out.

 

Inuyasha leaned over and hugged her slightly to him. He patted her on the back lightly and tenderly rubbed the back of her head. Not knowing what to do he just sat there like that for what seemed like years before finally saying what was on his mind.

 

“Do you want to talk about it?”

 

Kagome shook her head and just handed him a piece of parchment. Inuyasha took the parchment between his delicate fingers. Inuyasha looked down and realized that it was a letter to Kagome from Naraku.

 

“Are you sure you want me to read this?”

 

She nodded her head once before taking a deep breath. She tried to calm herself and eventually fell asleep in Inuyasha's car. Not knowing what to do he just started reading the letter.

 

 

My Dearest Kagome,

 

If you are reading this then I must be dead. I am truly sorry you had to find out this way. I have some secrets that I have kept from you and I must confess them to you. I just want you to know that I do love you my dear daughter. I am ashamed of myself my dear;I must tell you that after your mother died I had a fling with a woman. She disappeared soon after telling me that she was pregnant with my child. I didn't believe her at the time but later found out that she was telling the truth.The girl must be around the age of eight or so. I wish for you to find her and get to know her if you want my dear Kagome.

 

I must say that during that time I was emotionally weak. The woman took advantage of that and I will tell you honestly that I was drunk when it happened. I have never met the product of that one night stand but I am sure she can't be that bad. Please my darling daughter; find it in your heart to forgive an old man for a weak moment. I love you with all my heart and I would like to tell you another thing.

 

I taught one other person to be like me and that man will more then likely be my killer. I treated him as a son and will always think of him as one. Please do not be mad at him and remember that there are circumstances that you do not understand or know of. I will not give out his identity because he deserves some privacy. He is a good man, regardless of what has happened.

 

It is my responsibility to tell you everything that I have done in my life, Kagome and I want you to know that no matter what I have done you were and always will be my number one. I want you to be happy my darling princess. Just think about it, no more moving and you can now have friends.

 

My darling daughter, I love you so much and know that I will always be there, if not in spirit then in your heart.I would like for you to move on with your life and become what you have always dreamed of becoming. I want you to live a full and happy life my girl and keep my love close to your heart.

 

Please do me another favor. Find your Aunt Kaede when you graduate high school. She will teach you everything you need to know about being a Miko and everything about your ancestry. Please my love, do this… not only for me but for your mother. If your powers got out of control it could hurt you and any `demons' that may be around you.

 

Yes love, I did mean what I say. There are demons in this world still. The reason I know this is because I, myself am one. I am sorry my darling love for not telling you sooner but I am half spider youkai. I am a hanyou, though your mother was a miko, that still means you do have a little bit of demon blood running through your very veins.

 

Do not be ashamed for any information that I have given you. You are a wonderful and perfect girl. I am so proud of you and I know that your mother would be even prouder of you. I am sorry my love but I must go but please out of everything I have told you… remember these words…

 

I love you so much my little girl.

 

Love,

Daddy

 

Kagome was still asleep as Inuyasha finished the letter. He flipped through some of the pages yet again. Shocked at finding out that Kagome had demon and miko blood, he just stared at the sleeping girl seated next to him. He leaned over slightly and woke her up from her troubled sleep.

 

“Kagome… Kagome are you awake?”

 

Kagome nodded to Inuyasha sleepily. She put her hand over her mouth as she yawned and a tear or two slid down her pale cheeks. Inuyasha looked at her with true concern showing in her eyes and wiped her tears away.

 

“Do you want to talk about it?”

 

“I… I didn't know demons existed in this time. I didn't know I have a half-sister and I don't know if I can handle school today.”

 

“I can help you find her if you want me to and you don't have to go to school today if you don't want to. I have an idea if you want to go through with it but first I want to tell you something. I know demons exist today because I am a hanyou; my father and brother are youkai. Please don't tell anyone that because for one they wouldn't believe you and two the ones that do will want to come after us.”

 

Kagome sat there looking completely shocked at what he had just told her. Inuyasha sat there looking as nervous as anyone could look. Kagome smiled and nodded her head, she grabbed his hand and squeezed.

 

“So what is your idea?”

 

“You can come over to my house today and have a chat with my dad and then have a rest.”

 

“Sounds good to me.” She said sniffling.

 

She sat back in her seat and looked forward. Inuyasha nodded and drove towards his home. Kagome fell asleep as they drove to the TakiYoshi mansion. As they came upon the house, Inuyasha slowed down and stopped right in front of the door. He got out of the car and made his way to the passenger side of the car. Inuyasha then opened the door and slowly picked up Kagome and headed for the front door.

 

A maid opened the door with a curtsey before looking at the girl and gawking. Inuyasha growled at the girl's rudeness and asked where his father was.

 

“Lord InuTaisho is in his study, Master Inuyasha.”

 

Inuyasha walked up the stairs slowly, making sure not to jar the girl in his arms. Kagome shifted slightly and moaned, curling closer into the warmth Inuyasha's body gave. Inuyasha smiled at this and opened his father's study door.

 

“Inuyasha, is that whom I think it is?”

 

“Yeah it is and I want her to stay here for a little while.”

 

“What do you mean by that young pup?”

 

Inuyasha handed his father the letter that he had read not thirty minutes before. Inuyasha sat the slumbering girl down into a plush leather chair and turned back to his father. His father had just got done reading the letter before looking at his son.

 

“You do know what this means?”

 

“I already told her about us, pops.”

 

“You did what?! Why on earth did you do that for?”

 

“Don't worry, she won't tell anyone anyway. I trust her.”

 

InuTaisho nodded and looked at the sleeping beauty in his study. He studied the young woman a moment before turning to his son as raising an elegant eyebrow. He looked back at the young untrained Miko, he stood and walked over to her and noticed the slight raise in her power as she unconsciously felt his power coming nearer to her. He spread his energy over the young girl and she seemed to calm at this.

 

“What do you plan on doing with her exactly?”

 

“Well I was hoping that she could stay here today. I don't think she would be fit to go to school today.”

 

“She may not be fit to go to school today but you are. Have no fear Inuyasha I will see to it that the girl is taken care of. Now go to school you are late already.”

 

“I am only late by fifteen minutes.”

 

“By the time you will get there you will be forty minutes late, now go.”

 

Inuyasha reluctantly left the room that now housed the young girl he would ask to the dance. He knew that she would be safe with his father but he still didn't have to like the idea of leaving her alone in that big house. He himself knew how lonely it could get.

 

`I hope she is alright, hope she doesn't freak too much when she realizes that she is left there with my father.'

 

Inuyasha zoomed along the road as fast as he was permitted, he didn't want to get another speeding ticket. The school soon came into view, before long he was pulling into the high school parking lot. He got out of his car and headed for his next class since it would start in about five minutes.

 

Along the way he ran into Miroku and Sango who were switching classes early. They looked guiltily at each other before Inuyasha came upon them. He knew that look and stood there with his arms crossed over his muscled chest.

 

“Alright, out with it. What is the look for?”

 

“Well, the thing is… we know something about Kagome and uh… and about Sesshoumaru too but… I think your father should really tell you about it.” Miroku said looking down at his feet.

 

“What do you mean? Tell me already, you know I can't get anything out of the old man.”

 

“Well, don't tell him we told you but did you know that Sesshoumaru and Kagome used to play together when they were younger… and I mean younger. He would go over to Naraku Higurashi's house when he was twelve, making Kagome six.” Sango said taking a deep breath.

 

Inuyasha looked as if he was about to explode. He sucked in a much needed breath and looked like he was holding his breath. In fact, he was holding his breath because his face was turning a pretty shade of purple… he exhaled before screaming…

 

“WHAT?”

 

“See I told you that we shouldn't have told him about it.” Miroku whispered to Sango.

 

“I HEARD THAT YOU KNOW!”

 

“Alright Inuyasha, sorry but you really should talk to your dad about that.” Sango said calmly.

 

“Look it is time for class anyway; I will see you after school.”

 

 

 

With InuTaisho and Kagome

 

A groan brought him out of his thoughts. Kagome turned in the car and blinked blurrily at InuTaisho. She wasn't totally coherent yet.

 

“Inu… yasha?” She mumbled.

 

All of a sudden her eyes opened wide and she bolted upright and out of the chair. She was across the room in a matter of seconds.

 

“You're… you're not Inuyasha.”

 

“No, little miko I am not.”

 

'Little miko? Little miko? I have heard that before. Who used to call me that?'

 

Kagome scrunched up her nose a little. She always would do that when something stumped her. The obviously it had suddenly come to her for she was running at the now standing figure.

 

“Oh my god! Uncle Taisho!” She squealed as she landed in his outstretched arms.

 

She gave him a big hug before pulling back slightly and cocked her head to the side. The look that came into her eyes was priceless, one of shock, joy, remembrance and then sorrow. Tears welled in the young woman's eyes.

 

“Why did you go away so suddenly? What happened? Did I do something wrong?”

 

As she asked those questions he could see the small child she used to be. He knew that he was like a second father to her and that she loved him dearly but he had to leave for her own good. She would find that out later on and he wouldn't be able to tell her everything right now.

 

“Kagome, just know that it was for the best.”

 

She sniffed and then nodded. She put her head on his chest and asked him if he had heard the news of her father. He sighed and told her that he knew what had happened and that he was sorry for things to go that way.

 

“Do you still dance?”

 

“A little when I get bored.”

 

“We have a dance studio here in the house if you would like to go tire yourself out and then I can have someone show you to the guest bedroom and you could shower and change, while I work on some business things.”

 

“Oh yeah, I remember why I am here… You're Inuyasha's dad aren't you?”

 

“Yes ma'am I am.” He said on a chuckled.

 

“What about Maru, where is he at?”

 

“He moved to California with is adopted daughter.”

 

“Oh wow, man I never figured that would happen. Well tell Maru next time you talk to him Gome said HIYA!”

 

“I will young one. Now off with you so I can work.” He said laughing.

 

A servant showed Kagome where the dance hall was and then left her to do her thing. Kagome went to the closet that stood in one of the corners. She opened it and found a suit that would fit her perfectly. She then went and found the bathroom that was attached to the room and changed into the leotard (you know the whole… tights, socks and all that).

 

She came out of the bathroom shortly after and walked over to the stereo system that stood along a long wall. She turned it on and searched through some stations until she found one that she thought was a good one to dance to.

 

~Strike a pose
~Strike a pose
~Vogue, vogue, vogue
~Vogue, vogue, vogue

 

`Hm, Madonna… Vogue!' She thought and started moving to the music.

 

~Look around everywhere you turn is heartache
~It's everywhere that you go [look around]
~You try everything you can to escape
~The pain of life that you know [life that you know]

~When all else fails and you long to be
~Something better than you are today
~I know a place where you can get away
~It's called a dance floor, and here's what it's for, so

 

 

The beat seemed to cheer her up and it showed in the way she moved her body so carefree and happy. She twirled and danced, not really dancing just moving. She was all over the place, just being silly and having the time of her life.

 

~Come on, vogue
~Let your body move to the music [move to the music]
~Hey, hey, hey
~Come on, vogue
~Let your body go with the flow [go with the flow]
~You know you can do it

~All you need is your own imagination
~So use it that's what it's for [that's what it's for]
~Go inside, for your finest inspiration
~Your dreams will open the door [open up the door

 

 

Her movements got wilder and freer, she took out her pent up frustration on her poor legs. They were going everywhere, she really didn't feel like dancing but she did feel like using her energy.

 

~It makes no difference if you're black or white
~If you're a boy or a girl
~If the music's pumping it will give you new life
~You're a superstar, yes, that's what you are, you know it

 

~Beauty's where you find it
~Not just where you bump and grind it
~Soul is in the musical
~That's where Ifeel so beautiful
~Magical, life's a ball
~So get up on the dance floor

 

 

Her movements started looking wildly beautiful. She looked like a free spirit, one that had a lot of energy that needed to be spent before the wild beauty could rest peacefully. She started doing flips and splits and started to sweat immensely.

 

~Greta Garbo, and Monroe
~Deitrich and Dimaggio
~Marlon Brando, Jimmy dean
~On the cover of a magazine

~Grace Kelly; Harlow, Jean
~Picture of a beauty queen
~Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire
~Ginger Rogers, dance on air

~They had style, they had grace
~Rita Hayworth gave good face
~Lauren, Katherine, Lana too
~Bette Davis, we love you

~Ladies with an attitude
~Fellows that were in the mood
~Don't just stand there, let's get to it
~Strike a pose, there's nothing to it

~Vogue, vogue

~Oooh, you've got to
~Let your body move to the music
~Oooh, you've got to just
~Let your body go with the flow
~Oooh, you've got to
~Vogue

 

As Kagome danced along the floor she failed to notice the pair of golden eyes that followed her every move. She danced as hard as she could and when the song ended she fell gracefully to the floor.

 

Kagome was panting and trying to catch her breath. She fell on her back with a soft `thump' and stared at the ceiling. She got up and was about to turn off the radio when the beginning of a song came on that she hadn't heard in forever.

 

~Love - devotion
~Feeling - emotion

~That's not the beginning of the end
~That's the return to yourself
~The return to innocence.

 

She quickly shut off the machine and headed for the door. She was staring at her feet so she didn't see the large figure that stood in the doorway. She bumped into the figure and crashed to the floor with a loud `thud'. She looked up with wide eyes and smiled at the man/youkai before her.

 

“Hello Uncle Taisho… or… uh…”

 

“Call me whatever you wish when we are alone but when my son gets home call me InuTaisho until he comes to terms with us knowing each other previously.”

 

“Okay, Uncle Taisho.” She smiled that innocent smile of hers.

 

“Shall we get you some refreshment and then you can head for the shower.” He said wrinkling his nose.

 

“Hey! What a minute… does that mean… you have been a demon all along and I didn't know it?”

 

InuTaisho nodded his head and smiled at Kagome. He took her by the hand and led her to the kitchens where he got her a bottle of water and talked quietly with her.

 

“Well my dear, I will see you after your shower. Inuyasha should be home by then and demanding his Ramen and demanding your attention.” He chuckled.

 

Kagome smiled and kissed his cheek before following the maid that had somehow known when to come and get her to show her to her room.

 

Kagome walked along beside the maid and finally came to her room. Kagome looked at the chamber in awe. The whole thing was bigger then her house! She looked in the closet and found that there was plenty of clothing for her to wear. She chose to wear a nice pair of low rise flare legged jeans and a blue sparkle baby t-shirt that read `Princess'. She headed for the bathroom and turned on the shower.

 

She stepped into the nice steaming water and washed herself clean of all the sweat that she had accumulated during her `little dance session'. She quickly got out of the shower and dried off. As she was getting dressed she heard a loud bang of a door quickly followed by a…

 

“I AM HOME!”

 

Kagome rolled her eyes and finished dressing. She used the hairbrush and toothbrush that was in the bathroom and walked out of the bathroom. She headed for the door and down the hall. She paused at the top of the stairs and watched Inuyasha interact with his father. It was quite funny seeing as Inuyasha had flunked yet another math quiz.

 

Inuyasha decided to look up at that moment and saw her standing there. Her slim waist was visible, along with a belly shining stud that adorned her belly button. Inuyasha took in her look; she had a slime waist, nice rounded hips, and long legs, perfectly filled out chest, creamy white skin and long raven hair.

 

Her skin was still rosy from her shower and gave her an ethereal glow. His mouth was hanging open and drool was slowly leaking out of the corner of his mouth. InuTaisho reached over and snapped his jaw shut for his son before he made a spectacle of himself.

 

Kagome made her way downstairs and stood in front of the staring hanyou. She couldn't help but giggle at the look she was receiving from him. Before he could say a word there was someone taking Kagome's hand and kissing the back of it.

 

“You must be the beautiful Kagome. I am Miroku and I would like to know…”

 

He never got to finish his sentence because a tall, strong looking girl came up behind him and hit him upside the head; said girl then gave him a death glare before introducing herself.

 

“I am Sango… how about we get something to snack on and get to know each other.”

 

They all nodded and headed toward the kitchen but as Kagome passed InuTaisho he squeezed her hand lightly and winked before walking off towards his study. She had a smile on her face all the way to the kitchen.
