InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Resurrection Remixed ❯ Purification ( Chapter 11 )

Part Eleven: Purification

 

 

“I'm sorry,” Inuyasha said as he watched Kagome and her mother reunite. They were talking a mile a minute and were barely two feet from each other. He glanced over to the quiet boy seated beside him and saw that he was watching them as well.

“It wasn't your fault,” Souta answered.

Inuyasha sighed. “Yes it was. If I wasn't Kagome's mate, you wouldn't be in any danger. Any of you.”

“If you weren't Kagome's mate, she wouldn't be happy and neither would you,” Souta said as she looked over at Inuyasha. “It's not your fault Yash so don't beat yourself up over it. If it wasn't us it would just be someone else. They are the bad guys Inuyasha. Not you. I don't hold it against you and I know mom doesn't.”

Inuyasha smiled down at his “little brother. “Thanks Souta.”

“However,” the boy said with a grin of his own. “You're going to have to explain to her how I know how to hotwire a car and drive it. Good luck with that.”

“Gee thanks Souta,” he said dryly.

 

From her seat across the room, Kagome looked over to see her mate and little brother talking. She saw the solemn way he spoke with the boy and knew he was apologizing for the bad things that happened to them. He would never learn that he couldn't take the blame for all the bad things in the world. He was a good man even if he had a few bad habits. Her eyes softened as she saw him rub Souta's head affectionately. He would make a good father someday.

“Your love for each other never died,” her mother said drawing her attention. Ayame smiled at her daughter. “He was always loyal to you ya know. Even after your death. He wouldn't look at another woman.”

“And I would never look at another man,” Kagome said with a slight blush. “I love him with all my heart mama.”

“I know that Kagome, and he knows that too. He's a good man. He blames himself for a lot that's not his fault. He has the weight of the world on his shoulders but I feel that everything would be alright.”

“He'll make it all better,” Kagome said confidently. Inuyasha looked up at her then and she gave him a brilliant smile. He only grinned back at her. Souta caught his attention again and was drawn into a discussion with the boy. “I want this to all be over.”

“We just have to be patient Kagome. It'll be over soon and we could all get back to our lives.”

“I hope so mama. I really hope so.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sango rolled over to see that Miroku was still asleep. Grateful for that fact, she slid out of the bed and rushed as quietly as she could towards the bathroom. She'd feared she would be too late but she'd reached just in time before she threw up everything that was in her. After a few horrible moments of bringing up her dinner from the night before, Sango leaned wearily against the lid of the toilet. She felt like she was going to die. Finally gaining some strength, she was able to stand, flush the toilet then headed over to the sink where she brushed her teeth. She bent to rinse her mouth and when she stood up, she gasped in surprise at the reflection in the mirror. She spun quickly to face Miroku was leaning against the door jamb with his muscular arms folded over his equally muscular, bare chest.

His violet eyes took all of her in for a quiet minute before he spoke. “You've been doing that a lot,” he said to her.

“Doing what?” Sango asked him warily.

“Throwing up,” he said calmly. He caught the guilty look in her eyes and hid the smirk. “Is there something you want to tell me?”

“No,” Sango said as she pushed past him.

“Are you sure?” he asked as he followed her.

“Of course I'm sure. I have a stomach virus is all,” she said as she headed towards the kitchen. After emptying the contents of her stomach, she was really hungry.

“Right. I'm surprised I haven't caught it yet,” he said to her.

“Yes well I'm surprised too,” she said as she finally reached the kitchen. She began looking through the cupboards. When she couldn't find what she was looking for, she turned to look in another set of cupboards only to come up short since Miroku was right behind her. “Why the hell are you following me?” she asked as she stepped around him.

“You know Sango…I may not be a demon like your brothers but I could tell when you're lying to me,” he said to her. She could hear the amusement in his voice and scowled at him.

“I'm not lying to you,” Sango lied and scowled even deeper when he only grinned at her.

“You can tell me the truth Sango. I know you got food poisoning from that thing you cooked two nights ago. You don't have to be embarrassed that you can't cook.”

Sango raised a brow at him. “HA! For your information there was nothing wrong with my food. I do not have food poisoning. I'm pregnant!” Sango slapped a hand over her mouth the minutes the words left it. How could she be so stupid as to let him bait her into telling him her secret? She glanced at Miroku to see the man standing there with a stupid look on his face and grinned.

For the first time in his life, Miroku was struck stupid. He had always prided himself in being the calm one. The one who could always think and act responsibly under pressure. Where Inuyasha and Sesshomaru may act out of haste, he would not. Now standing there, that smooth reputation had been thrown out of the window. He didn't know what to say. The only thing he could do was stare at his girlfriend.

When he said nothing, Sango feared the worst. What if he didn't wan the baby? What if he thought that with the life they led, a baby would be a bad idea? She couldn't fault him for that really. She'd had the same thoughts as well. God what if he didn't want her after this? What would she do?

“Miroku?”

“Pregnant?” was all he could ask.

“Yes I'm pregnant,” Sango said slowly.

“Baby?”

She couldn't help but grin. “Yes with a baby.”

“Me?”

Sango shrugged. “Daddy.” Before she could say anything else, she found herself enclosed in strong arms as Miroku pulled her into a hug. At first she was shocked but when she felt his shaking shoulders, she wrapped her arms around him and allowed him to cry into her neck.

“Miroku?” Sango asked as she rubbed his back. This was definitely not one of the reactions she had in mind.

He turned his head and placed a kiss on her lips. “Thank you Sango,” he said softly.

“Y-you're happy about this?” she asked in confusion.

“Of course I'm happy,” he said as he smiled down at her. “You're going to make me a father. How could I not be happy?” he saw the uncertain look on her face and lost his smile. “Unless you don't want it?”

“Oh no no no. Of course I want it. I just wasn't sure you would,” Sango said as she hugged him to reassure him. “I was scared you were going to tell me a baby would be a big mistake.”

“Not a mistake no. It's a bit dangerous still but I would die protecting you and our baby Sango. I know things have been tough recently for us but I'm really happy about this baby. I'm especially happy to be having it with you.” He kissed her then and no words were needed after that.

 

 

 

Inuyasha leaned his head against the cool tile as he allowed the steaming water to run down his back. With his eyes closed, he contemplated the day's events. This was becoming a bit much. It seemed every turn he made, he'd put someone else in danger. He couldn't do it anymore. He was tired. Weary of the life he led and some days it felt easier to just give in but he knew that was something he couldn't do. He had too many people depending on him. He had too much to do.

Now he had a new task before him. He'd thought that Kagome's family was safe because no one knew he associated with them. He'd taken every effort to ensure that he was never seen in their company. He'd even gone as far to wear a disguise anytime he visited, but obviously that wasn't enough because their relation was discovered. Inuyasha swore that h would do all in his power to kill that son of a bitch. Naraku's spawn had taken it too far. He'd crossed a line and he had to pay. He'd let him get away with too much shit but that was it. No more.

His ears swiveled towards the bathroom door when he heard it open. He quickly distinguished Kagome's scent even under the bath scents and relaxed his guard. He could hear her disrobing and soon he felt small arms wrap around his waist. He smiled. He turned to face her then linked fingers with her.

“I love you,” she said as she looked up at him. He nuzzled the top of her head then kissed her forehead. “It's not your fault.”

His eyes turned sad then. It was uncanny how good she was at reading him sometimes and that was one of the things he'd missed over the last year. He knew she was only trying to make him feel better and it did. He opened his mouth to answer her but before he could say anything, she covered his mouth with her hand.

“It's not. You're doing all you can Inuyasha and you make us feel safe.”

“Your family---“

“Doesn't blame you,” Kagome said cutting him off. “They love you Inuyasha and they know you're a good person. They don't blame you. There are bad people in the world Inuyasha. People who have no respect for human life and kills just for the fun of it. You are not one of those people.”

“I kill people too Kagome,” Inuyasha said. “I'm just as bad. There is so much blood on my hands that I'm scared I can never wash it off.”

Kagome took hold of his hands and brought them to her mouth. She kissed each side of both his hands. She then looked into eyes as she continued to hold his hand. Inuyasha wanted to look down when he felt a tingling sensation in both of his hands but he couldn't move his gaze away from Kagome's. He didn't have to look down to know what he was feeling was Kagome's purifying power. Instead of her miko powers burning like they normally would, he only felt warmth. Soon the tingling ended and Kagome only continued to look at him. She then looked down at his hands and back at him.

“I don't see any blood. Do you?”

Inuyasha kissed her. There were no words to describe how she made him feel at that moment. She was too good…too pure and yet she was his. All his. He wrapped his arms around the petite woman and lifted her until she wrapped her legs around his waist.

“I love you Kagome,” he said as he rested his forehead against hers. “You'll never meet another man who wants anything as much as I want you.”

“I love you too Inuyasha.”

“You're my world,” he said then kissed her deeply and passionately. “You're my everything.” He kissed her again.

“Make love to me Inuyasha,” Kagome whispered against his lips. She reached over and turned off the shower. Inuyasha's only answer was stepping out of the shower and carrying her into the bedroom. He didn't care that their bodies were wet. He didn't care that the sheets were silk and that the water may ruin them. The only thing Inuyasha cared about right then was Kagome. It was only Kagome.

He placed her in the center of the bed and came down on her. He looked down into her beautiful face. Her eyes were closed as she waited for his next move but when nothing happened, she opened her eyes and looked up into his. She saw the serious look on his face and gave him a warm smile.

“You are so beautiful,” he said as he shifted to her side. Leaning on his right arm, he reached over with his left to run a claw down the middle of her breasts and watched her shiver. He smiled. “Inside and out. Everything about you is so beautiful.”

“I'm only beautiful because I'm with you,” Kagome told him.

He shook his head as he continued to touch her, almost reverently. “You are so much more than me Kagome. So much more than I'll ever be. I don't deserve you but you are mine and I'm not letting you go again.”

“I won't ever leave again,” Kagome said. She wrapped an arm around his neck and brought him down for a kiss. She moaned into his mouth as his tongue snaked into her mouth to rub against hers. She felt his hand continuing to move over her body and groaned out her pleasure. His large hand cupped her left breast and she gasped. He pulled away from the kiss to look her body over.

She watched him as he leaned down and placed a kiss on her nipple. The kiss then changed to a lick then to a suckle. Kagome hissed at the pleasure and buried her hands in his hair. She began to rub his ears knowing just what it did to him. As expected, the man started to purr at her touch. To stop the sound, he busied his lips with her other nipple as his hand continued to play with the first one.

“Mmm Inuyasha,” Kagome whispered.

“I'm right here baby,” he said to her as he positioned himself on top of her. “Right here where I belong.”

“I need you Inuyasha.”

“Do you?” he asked with a smirk as he kissed and nibbled her neck.

“Yesssss,” she hissed when his hand sneaked between them to rub her clit.

“Are you desperate for me baby?” Inuyasha asked. His voice had gotten even deeper and huskier with his arousal and it sent shivers down her spine.

“Yes,” Kagome panted as he continued to toy with her body.

“As you wish,” Inuyasha said. In one fluid stroke he was inside of her.

“OH GOD!” Kagome yelled. She'd tried to keep as quiet as she could knowing her mother and brother were just in the next room but it was next to impossible with what she was feeling.

“It ain't God baby. It's Yasha,” Inuyasha said with a smirk.

Even in the middle of their lovemaking he could be silly and Kagome couldn't help but laugh. Her laughter however was cut off when Inuyasha started moving inside of her. His lips attacked hers as he continued to rock his body into hers. Kagome wrapped her legs around him to pull him even deeper and they both groaned at their mutual pleasure.

“I love you so much,” Kagome said to him. His face was inches from hers as she stared up into his eyes.

“And I love you,” Inuyasha said. He reached for her hands and entwined their hands over her head. “I'll only love you Kagome. You and no one else. You are mine.”

“Mind, body, heart, and soul,” Kagome told him. “Everything I am, everything I have is yours.”

Not knowing how else to express his feelings for her, Inuyasha did it with his body. The rest of their night was spent not sleeping, but making love. That night Inuyasha fully opened his heart to Kagome. Between their sessions of lovemaking, he told her about his earlier years before meeting her. They shared everything they could. They said thing they'd never had the chance to say before and at the end of it all, they had become even closer than before. Now they were not only life mates but soul mates as well.

 

 

 

 

“So what do we do now?” Ayame asked her son, her daughter's mate, as they sat side by side on the couch the next morning. “They burned the house and everything that we owned. We have nowhere to go.”

Inuyasha leaned over and grabbed a hold of the woman. He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her into his chest as she cried. He'd watched the woman the previous day. Not once did she break down or cry. As always she wanted to be strong for everyone else. She wanted to be strong for her children. Now that they were no where in sight, she allowed herself to cry. Sure it was a little embarrassing because Inuyasha was there but she knew he would understand.

“Don't worry about anything,” Inuyasha said to the older woman. “I'll take care of everything. I promise.”

Ayame sniffed then looked up at the young man. “You're pretty young to have so much on your shoulders,” she told him.

“It's my…”

“It's not your fault,” she interrupted. When he looked up at her she gave him a motherly smile. “It's not Inuyasha. You didn't do this.”

“It was because of me.”

“It was because of them. Not you. Because of you we're safe now. Because of you my daughter is happy.”

Inuyasha could only nod with a small smile. “I have someone coming.”

“For what?” Ayame asked.

“To take you and Souta some place safe. Someplace where I'll know you're safe and taken care of.”

Ayame nodded. She pretty much had a feeling that they'd have to hide out for a while. She knew they couldn't go home because there was no home to go to and they couldn't stay with Inuyasha and Kagome. The man already had so much on his plate. “When are we leaving?”

“Today as soon as he gets here,” Inuyasha said.

“He?” Ayame asked.

“Yeah,” Inuyasha said. Almost immediately after, the doorbell rang. He sighed and released the woman to answer it. He slid the gun from his back pocket and looked through the peephole. When he seemed satisfied with the person on the other side, he opened the door, gun still aimed.

“Mr. Makoto,” the deep voice said from the other side of the door.

“Mushin,” Inuyasha said as he looked the man over. “You look different.”

“I feel the same,” Mushin joked. He raised his hands as he took a step forward and entered the apartment. Inuyasha closed and locked the door behind him.

Inuyasha smirked at the man and lowered his gun then put it away completely. “Mushin long time no see old man.”

“I was surprised that you called,” Mushin said. “I didn't want to hear more bad news from you.”

“Yeah I know. Well I need you for something different this time.”

“So you said,” he said then looked around the room. For the first time his eyes caught the figure seated on the couch and he raised a brow.

“Mushin this is Ayame Higurashi,” Inuyasha said. “Ayame this is Mushin Yoshida. He'll be protecting you and Souta until this is all over.” Inuyasha smirked as he watched the two. The sparks between them was so obvious and they hadn't even said anything to each other yet.

“Hello,” Mushin said as he looked the woman over. She was beautiful. Her dark hair was cut short and her brown eyes were shinning with tears. She looked just a few years younger than his forty-five years and she had a nice figure.

“Hi,” Ayame said as she looked the man over. He was a big man. He was tall and nicely built with graying black hair. He had sharp brown eyes and she fought the urge to blush as the man looked her over.

“I'll give you two a minute to get acquainted. I'll go and get Kagome.” Inuyasha wanted to laugh but fought it as he entered his bedroom. Who knew Mushin and Kagome's mother would have a thing for each other.

“What's so funny?” Kagome asked. Inuyasha looked up at her to see that she and Souta were sitting on their bed talking. He hadn't realized he was laughing until she mentioned it.

“Nothing,” he said with a head shake. “Mushin is here.”

“Mushin?” Kagome asked her mate.

“He'll be watching over your mother and brother until this all blows over.”

Kagome nodded then turned to look at Souta. She knew it was better for them to go but she'd just gotten them back to be losing them so soon. “Come on Souta. Let's meet the man.”

In the living room, Kagome interrogated the man to the best of her abilities. Inuyasha hid his amusement at his mate's actions. It was obvious she'd seen the attraction too. She turned back to him as he entered the room and stepped away from the man. She then turned back to her mother and sibling to say her goodbyes.

“I don't need to tell you how important they are to me,” Inuyasha said as he pulled Mushin aside. “They're apart of my pack. My mate's family. If anything happens to them you're dead.”

“I will protect them with my life,” Mushin said.

“You do that,” Inuyasha told the man. Before Mushin could walk away Inuyasha stopped him with a hand to his chest. “I see the way you look at her. Ayame is a beautiful woman and any man would be lucky to have her.”

“Are you trying to say something?” Mushin asked.

“Don't fuck around. I will definitely kill you over her.”

“Duly noted.”

Inuyasha released the man and turned to see his mate and her family sharing last hugs. He felt bad that they had to go away so soon but it was for their own good. Ayame came over to him and gave him a motherly hug.

“Thank you Inuyasha. For protecting my daughter.”

“Thank you for having her,” Inuyasha whispered back causing the woman to smile. “You'll be safe I promise and nothing will happen to Kagome.”

“I know,” Ayame said looking into his eyes. She then moved away from him and Souta walked over to him.

“What's going to happen to us?”

“Well Mushin is going to take you guys somewhere safe until I take care of everything.”

Souta nodded. “Are you gonna be okay?”

Inuyasha gave him a cocky smile. “Of course I am. I'm Inuyasha.”

Souta only rolled his eyes and grinned. He then gave the man a brief hug and quickly took a step back. Both of them looked over to the women to see them grinning and blushed. “Bye Inuyasha. Take care of my sister.”

“I will. Bye.”

After they were gone, Kagome and Inuyasha collapsed onto the couch. She was very quiet and he put an arm around her to comfort her. He drew her into his side and kissed her hair.

“They're going to be alright ya know.”

“I know,” Kagome said as she turned to look at him. “What now?”

Inuyasha only grinned.
