InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Past Thruths Present Fueds ❯ Making the wish ( Chapter 1 )

She awoke with a start. She knew she should never have gotten into this. This time Inuyasha would be really pissed at her but she had to do it. So Kagome rose and walked over to the tent where she saw the maiden. The woman rose as Kagome pushed the flaps of the tent back.

"You have come. I knew you would. Ask for only one truth and one dream and I shall grant it."

Kagome had a million questions running through her mind. Most of them were about Naraku.

"Remember that I cannot answer any questions pertaining to the future, only the past."

"I wish to know the story of Inuyasha's mother's death."

"That child is what you shall dream and you shall not wake until you know the whole story. Go now sleep will not allude you for long."

Kagome rose and went to her bedroll thankfully Inuyasha was nowhere in sight meaning he was off making sure they were safe. She lay down and true to the woman's word she fell asleep immediately.

Sudden swirls of color passed before her eyes and just as suddenly as it began it all stopped. Kagome was standing in a large room where the woman who looked just like the woman who acted as Inuyasha's mother looked stood before a finely built man with long silver hair. The man frowned and a silent tear ran down his cheek. Kagome knew this man had to be Inuyasha's father. Next to him stood a boy who seemed to be about the age of ten. Kagome guessed it was Sesshomaru. The boy stood solemnly next to the large man. On the floor next to the woman sat none other then a miniature Inuyasha playing with a ball completely unaware of the pain. Little Inuyasha glanced up and Kagome saw the hurt in the boy's eyes. So he does know what's happening! The man kneeled next to Inuyasha and patted him on his head and kissed his forehead. Kagome felt the tears well up inside her but fought them back.

"Mikio will protect you and Inuyasha. She may still be young but her skills rival even myself."

"But father I wanted Mikio to remain with us."

Kagome looked to the silent member of the group. A girl no older than Sesshomaru stood in the shadows near the door looking outside every few moments expecting something to happen. Kagome wondered what Mikio was searching the night for.

"Sesshomaru you mustn't be greedy. Your brother and his mother need her more than you or I do. We are no longer accepted here but the village is unaware of Mikio's presence. She will remain and protect them until you and I return to take them away. Is that understood?"

"Yes father. Goodbye Mikio stay safe."

The girl named Mikio nodded once and again looked out. Out of nowhere the girl spoke quietly and quickly.

"You must be away now. The villagers are gathering. Make haste master and know I will precede them in death or follow. This is my oath now away with you. Away with you both."

Aww he left to save her, the villagers are the reason he left. He would have stayed but the villagers pushed them away. Kagome watched as Inuyasha's father and Sesshomaru left through the back door. When she turned back Mikio was gone and Inuyasha's mother was drawing him close. Two red slits of eyes appeared above the two and Kagome knew that Mikio had transformed into her demon form to protect if needed. Suddenly those eyes disappeared and again Mikio was gone. The Chief of the villagers entered the room and looked down at Inuyasha and his mother.

"He left you. He deserted you to us. Feel lucky woman that I am not one to kill women and children even if the child is half demon. Keep him well in hand though and I will not strike."

"Yes he left. My son will be safe no matter what threats you give!"

"Watch your tongue woman!"

Kagome wanted nothing more than to shoot one of her arrows at the man right then and there for what he had said to Inuyasha's mother.

The Chief turned on his heel and stomped out the door and called for the village to disperse. After they left Inuyasha began to cry and Kagome wanted nothing more then to hug them to her and promise their safety. When Kagome looked back at the door she saw Mikio move away from the door and laid a hand on Inuyasha's mother's shoulder.

"You are safe my lady."

"Thank you Mikio. I know what this means for you. You will never again see your father until you are freed from your duty."
