InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Love is a Magical Thing ❯ Chapter 4 What Might Have Been ( Chapter 4 )

 

 

 

AN/ This chapter is going to focus on Kagome's loss, because she cannot move ahead if she is still holding on to the past, this is going to be a two part chapter. Thank you to all who have reviewed this story. Disclaimer, I own nothing not Inuyasha, or Dragon Lance, or the song by Black Hawk, What might have been. Those of you who have read the books know the difference between the brothers, one is night, the other is day, one darkness, the other is light, those who do not know about the brothers, you should read the books and find out, because the dream is about both of their personalities.

 

 

So when you cross my mind, I try not to think about what might have been cause that was then, and we have taken different roads, we can't go back again, there no use given in, and there's no way to know what might have been, no we'll never know what might have been.

Chapter 4 What Might Have Been

 

 

She was laying in the meadow on the outskirt of the village were she first met Kaede, her subconscious mind was working over time, sitting up she looked at her surroundings flowers made from the colors of, blue, purple, yellow, white, swayed amongst the green grass, as a gentle breeze blew around making her hair dance around her face, closing her eyes and smiling leaning back to enjoy the warmth, she stiffened as a shadow covered her body, shivering from the loss of the sun, she opened her eyes. A blood red cloak was the first thing she saw, she knew this cloak she knew this being, she felt him sit beside her, “Why are you here Raistlin?” His unemotional tone of voice responded, “For some unknown reason your subconscious mind has chose me as your voice of reason.” “So this is a dream?” “So it seems.” Looking torwards Raistlin a smile gracing her lips, `It's beautiful here, isn't?” Then she felt the wind change, as a cold wind forced itself throughout the meadow, glancing around she watched as all the flowers withered and died, she watched as the beautiful green grass turned brown and melted away. His voice spoke again, she felt the cruelty of his words, “They were the best days you have ever known, his love, his touch, the sound of his voice, the smell of his skin, but the past is past.” “You and I both know you will never know what might have been, with him.” Tears formed in her eyes as she choked these words out to him, “Why are you saying this to me?” She heard his town soften, “Because eventually, you will not think of what might have been with him.”

 

 

Before she could respond he was gone and she was back sitting in the beautiful meadow, what kind of weird dream is this she thought, she would've liked to be dreaming about Inuyasha's not have stupid conversation with Raistlin about letting Inuyasha go no matter what Raistlin had said to her she was never letting him go. She loved Inuyasha more than anything in the world, she helped him find the jewels shards because she wanted him to make his wish, she felt stronger when her feelings of friendship turned to love, her heart broke the first couple of years he kept choosing Kikyo to love instead of her, and her heart finally rejoiced when Inuyasha finally chose her, three days before the last battle, he had took her to this very meadow, and then he spoke, the words, that's when the sound of clanking armor stopped her from repeating the words Inuyasha had spoken to her. Ten feet away and closing the distance between them was Caramon, what the crap she thought, kneeling beside her and pulling her to her knees to face him, “Caramon, what are you doing?” “Then I said Kagome, I have never trusted anyone, not even Kikyo, until the day I met you, throughout our travels you became my first real friend.” “Caramon, you did not say these things to me.” He spoke as if he did not hear her, pulling her even closer to his big body, he is reenacting what her and Inuyasha had shared in this very meadow, his face was mere inches from her own locking her eyes with his own, she saw love swimming threw his ocean blue eyes, “You became my best friend, you became my heart, and I finally admitted to myself, you became the one being I loved more than anything in the world, because you loved me the way I was, and just for you I will stay a half-demon, because this was the being that you fell in love with, I love you Kagome.” As if in slow motion she watched as Caramon's face closed the distance between them, he was going to kiss her. Bolt upright and glancing around Kagome took in her surroundings, Raistlin still laid asleep beside her, Tas still laid in the same spot snoring away, the only difference was that Caramon was not sleeping and Miroku was “Are you ok Lady Kagome?”

 

Miroku, awoke him to relieve himself of watch duty, Caramon watched Miroku sit himself against the tree trunk by Kagome's feet, he watched as Miroku fell asleep sitting up. Caramon noticed that Kagome laid her bedroll next to his brother, which he thought was odd, most people were either afraid of Raistlin, or repulsed by him, other than friends no one got this close to his brother. He watched her up until almost dawn, she was so beautiful, more beautiful than anyone he had every seen, while he lay resting he dreamed about her, they were both in a field of flowers, and he was holding and touching her, he could not remember the words they spoke, but he did remember his face closing in on hers he was going to kiss her that's when Miroku awoke him, he knew that she was about turn all three of their lives upside down. He watched as her chest begin to rise, and fall rapidly, he watched as she clenched her bedding, something was wrong with her, fighting the urge to go to her, only his brother he thought Raistlin was the only one that needed him she did not need him not like Raistlin, he watched her suddenly, set up, fighting for air, he could not stop himself from asking it, “Are you ok Lady Kagome?”

 

 

Returning his gaze, and blushing furiously, “I am fine I just had a nightmare that's all.” Climbing out of her sleeping bag, and putting her boots back on, she rolled her sleeping bag up. “There's still sometime before day break, you could get more rest Lady Kagome.” Climbing over Miroku picking up all of her belongs in the process, she settled herself, about five feet away from Caramon, “I don't need anymore sleep, and could you drop the Lady part when saying my name, just call me Kagome.” “Why would deny your title of your royal blood line?” “Because being called Lady Kagome from where I come from has a totally different meaning, then being called Lady Kagome here.” “How is it different?” She had Caramon's full attention now, should she tell him, her miko powers were telling her that he was not an evil being, releasing the breath that she had been holding she answered him, “Where Miroku, and I are from the term Lady is used to describe a miko.” Closing the gap between them Caramon's thigh was know touching her own, “What does that mean?” She could feel the heat of his bare skin filtering threw her jeans, she remember from school the more muscle mass you have the more heat your body produces, and gives off. Kagome fought threw the fog that had now settled in her head, as she answered, “A miko is another word for a priestess, she is woman that has holy power, a power to heal those who are sick or wounded, a woman who is destined to defeat evil.” “So you were gifted by the gods of your world.” “If I was truly gifted, then four beings that I cared about the most would not have died they would be alive right now, if Kami truly gifted me.” She continued on, “If Kami truly gifted me then Inuyasha would be alive!”

 

She watched as Caramon went to answer her, Raistlin set up and began to cough like he was dieing, she watched, as Caramon raced to his brother's side she watched them as Caramon held his brother, she watched as Raistlin clutched his brother close to him all the while leaning on him, she knew she could stop his cough her powers were coming alive with each cough that was forced from Raistlin's body, no she could not heal him, what afflicted him was not environmental, no it was made by something else something more powerful than her, but she could stop his hacking. Standing she walked torwards the both of them, with each step she could feel her power become stronger, she was unaware, that everyone was awake now, she was unaware four gasp of surprise, and finally she was unaware of her power was now radiating off of her. Reaching Raistlin, and Caramon, “Let me help you.” She reached her hand and placed upon Raistlin's chest as his coughing became worse, they all watched as both her and Raistlin glowed, glowing as daybreak was upon them, Raistlin's cough disappeared with Kagome's power, looking at both brothers she stood and walked away.

 

That was the last thing Kagome spoke to any of them, they had packed up and been on the road for a while, Raistlin, and Caramon in the lead followed by Kagome, and Miroku, and Tas walked side by side.

 

AN/ The next chapter will pick up on the road, and all of their feelings about what just happened will be known.
