InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Love is a Magical Thing ❯ Chapter 6 A Heart Felt Goodbye ( Chapter 6 )

 

 

 

 

AN/ This next chapter is going to be about Kagome and Miroku mourning for those they love; just to point out Miroku can control his perverseness, if the situation warrants it. Jealousy grows stronger with one of the men in the group. Here in America they ended there Inuyasha series with The Band of Seven, at least were I'm from, so with that in mind in this story Kagome has never been kissed by Inuyasha, I am not counting any of the movies, because in the second movie Kagome did kiss Inuyasha.

 

 

Your heart always remembers it's first love, not matter how old you are, and they will always have a place in your heart.

Chapter 6 A Heart felt Goodbye, And Why is He Holding Her So Tight

 

 

Kagome watched as they all took their place around the campfire, she and Miroku sat opposite from all of them, she knew they were all waiting for an explanation, one she was eventually going to have to give. But first things first she had to get these bandages off, the herbs Raistlin had mixed together was now making her itch, her miko abilities had finished healing her about midday, and she needed to bathe. They had passed a lake not to far back, it would be the perfect time for her to talk to Miroku; he was acting very protective of her. After that embarrassing comment from Tas about her having Miroku's baby, Miroku had stayed by her side, even now at the campfire he sat closer to her than usual.

 

Standing, she once again drew their attention to her, “I saw a lake back there, I need to take these bandages off, and clean the herbs from my body.”

 

Caramon knew this was the perfect time to show that he cared enough to help her, this would help make her desire him by, showing her that he cared about her wounds, and he would be able to touch her beautiful body at the same time, standing with her, “Allow me to help you Kagome.”

 

Blushing furiously, and shaking her head, before she had time to answer Caramon, Miroku spoke for her, “Your assistance is not required, I am the most trained in healing Kagome's wounds after all I have been with her for almost four seasons now, and if anyone among us would know her body, and how it would heal it would be me.”

 

“Again like the other night, I will point out that you both would be wondering aimlessly in the dark.” Hearing the annoyance in his voice, Kagome responded, by once again digging threw her backpack, and pulling out her flashlight, flicking the on switch, and turning the beam of light to alight the path that they had been traveling on. Giving Raistlin, a to sweet smile, “I really don't think that will be a problem.” Slinging her backpack across her shoulder and calling for Miroku, “Come on Miroku.”

 

Caramon had to try one more time, Miroku was acting like he had the right to see her body, and for some unknown reason that bothered him, “Please Kagome, Miroku doesn't know what kind of beings are out there, I could go to protect you, and he could stay with my brother and protect the campsite.”

 

Miroku was mad did Caramon think he did not know what he was trying to pull, “Do you doubt my word, you all have only known her for days, and I have known her a lot longer than that, never doubt my intentions torwards Kagome.”

 

Reaching her hand out and grabbing Miroku's arm, “That's enough Miroku, come on.” Turning torwards Raistlin, Caramon, and Tas, “We will return shortly.” With that being said they watched the light she carried disappear into the darkness.

 

 

Raistlin looked at his brother as he spoke these venomous words, “We have finally found one female, that your good looks, and charms could not seduce.” Raistlin ended his statement with a satisfied smirk, as he looked into his brother's disappointed eyes.

 

Ten minutes of walking Miroku, and Kagome found the lake, Miroku helped Kagome wash the herbs from her body, he also kept his wandering hands from do anything improper. Turning and waiting for her to finish changing her under garments, he thought about how to approach the next subject with her. “Kagome I think it would be a good time if we said a prayer for them.” Heard her stiffen, and then a small sad sigh escaped her lips. “Yeah, now is probably the best time, it might be the only time, we could have a prayer in peace.”

 

Turning around and with a small nod, the both dropped to their knees, clasping their hands together in front of them, Miroku began to pray. It could have been minutes, or it could have been hours since they started, the more they prayed the more pain they both felt, at the thought of losing all those they had come to care for, all those they have come to love.

 

Deep in the bushes a small figure watched with interest, they had been on their knees for sometime now, the language that was spoken was something Tas has never heard before. Was that Kagome and Miroku's regularly spoken language? He made a note to question them both later on it, and what were all of those things that were taken out of Kagome's backpack while they were cleaning the herbs from her body? He was glad that both Raistlin, and Caramon had both told him that he should follow them, to make sure they got back to camp all right. As much as he wanted to stay and watch he knew enough time went by that he should go back and check in, Caramon was already beside himself about not being the one who went with Kagome, Raistlin too was worried Tas knew it, for he was the one that suggested that Tas leave and follow them, in the first place. With that last thought, Tas slipped easily into the night, and headed soundlessly back to camp to tell Raistlin, and Caramon what he had seen.

 

As the last words of prayer left Miroku's mouth Kagome spoke, almost a whisper but he heard her, “He promised never to leave me, and he promised to always be there to protect me.” Lifting her head into the moonlight she screamed, “YOU PROMISED, ME THAT YOU WOULD ALWAYS BE HERE FOR ME!” Sobbing into her hands, “I can't remember the sound of his voice, Miroku.” Grabbing her by the arms and giving her a shake, their eyes met, Kagome could see tears streaming down Miroku's face, “At least you have the Tetsusaiga, something that he owned, and you have the robe of the fire rat something that he wore, his smell is still strong on it.” Miroku's voice turned hard, and cold, “I have nothing left of her, not her voice, something she owned, and nor do I have something that smelled of her, never doubt that you are the only one was has lost some one.” “She meant more to me than anything in the world, including my life, and do you know what kills me is that I chose to save your life instead of hers, because that is what she would have wanted, that is how much she loved you, and that is how much I love her.” Miroku drew upon realizing how harshly that he spoken to her, “Kagome, I am so sorry, I did not mean to sound so self absorbed, it's just-,”

 

Looking at Miroku she realized she was not the only one going threw this pain, he had been going threw this with her the whole time, and yet since the first time since they have arrived, his only thought was to protect her. “I am sorry Miroku,” Kagome whispered, as her tears began to fall more rapidly down her face. “I am sorry for not considering your feelings, please forgive me.” The last of her strength died with this statement, falling forward and wrapping her arms around him she cried for both of them.

 

Wrapping his arms around Kagome, he finally mourned his loss, and the loss of all of those they both loved. Holding her until she no longer wept, he knew she had fallen asleep, picking up her backpack, and his staff he carried her back to camp.

 

Upon reaching camp Tas was bombard with questions, most were coming from Caramon, and before he could respond Raistlin, order Caramon to be silent. “Tas tell us what you saw, and heard.” “Well, Miroku helped her wash, and they pulled all kinds of wonderful things from her backpack.” “I do not care what came out of her backpack, what I want to know is were he touched her?” “Caramon, my brother stay your jealous thoughts, what happened next Tas?” Both brothers watched as his face beamed with excitement, and wonder, “Miroku told Kagome that now would be a good time to say a prayer for them, and then they both fell to their knees, and Miroku spoke a language that I have never heard.” “What kind of language?” “It was beautiful Raistlin, as beautiful as both of them are, it suited them, and I don't know how to explain it any other way, I have not heard anything like it before.”

 

Before any comments could be made from both Raistlin, and Caramon they all heard the sound of foot steps closing in on their campsite. Before any of them could react, they watched the figure breech the light of the campfire, it was Miroku and in his arms was what appeared to be unconscious Kagome. That's when all hell broke loose, it started, and ended with Caramon, “What happened to her?” “I knew I should have been the one to go with her.”

 

Miroku watched Caramon stand, he was angry, and his anger was directed at him, “Please, nothing has happened, we were just mourning those we love.” It was Raistlin that responded, “And who may I ask that you are mourning?” “All four of them we mourned for them, I leave it up to Kagome if she wishes for you to know them.” Looking Caramon, “Please she has been threw enough in one night, if anyone of you care for her in the least then let her rest.”

 

Laying her backpack aside, Miroku sat and wrapped his robes around her, pulling her body close to his own, “I will take first watch, and I will wake Caramon to replace me.”

 

Caramon was angry at the way Miroku held her body so close to his own, one thought streaked threw his mind, he would wait for Miroku to wake him to take his place, and he would take Miroku's place alright.

 

Later on when Caramon was awoken to take Miroku's place, he played his role well, helping Miroku unroll Kaogme's bedding, and even suggesting that Miroku should lay between Raistlin, and Kagome he even commented that he thought his brother was interested in her, and that was all it took. Caramon waited for Miroku to fall asleep, picking Kagome up bedding and all he laid her across his own body, as he breathed in her unique scent, he marveled at the differences between both of their bodies, he sighed as her small body fitted perfectly against his big body as he gently rested her head upon his huge chest. As soon as her head landed upon his chest, her sigh sent shivers across his chest, and with that one breath of air his desire for her grew ten fold, before he could wrap his arms around her his brother spoke, “I am disappointed in you my brother, to stoop this low to make a woman want you.” Caramon watched as Raistlin set up from his bedding. Caramon watched as evil smile spread a crossed his lips, “Tell me my brother, what would happen if Miroku would suddenly be awakened?” “What would you do then my brother?”
