InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Long Awaited Destiny ❯ Chapter 19 ( Chapter 20 )

“Captain I have decided that I would like a picnic this morning and I do not wish to be crowded by you and the guards. I will take Princess Ayame and Damien with me. They should be adequate protection for me, don’t you think so?” she raised a questioning eye brow towards him.

He knew when he was being set up by a female and he knew that she just set the trap. He took one look at the wolf princess and then to the bear demon. Both were mated already and both were very powerful so what ever they could not handle he knew that Kagome would be more than able to handle the rest until he got there himself.

“Lady Kagome your wish is my command. If you feel you will be safe with Princess Ayame and this bear demon then so be it; I will only be a summons away.” Sephiroth stated.

Kagome bowed her head and together the three of them left Sephiroth there pondering over what she was up too.

It had been three hours since Koga, Miroku, and Sesshoumaru left the castle and so far none of them have found Inuyasha anywhere.

Sesshoumaru was starting to second guess his plan on leaving his mate alone at the castle with only his captain and the rest of his guards to protect her.

‘I have never second guessed my decisions until she entered my life, now I can only hope that my first choice of action was the correct one.’ he thoughts as he continued on his course.

Suddenly an awful feeling shot through his heart just as a terrible pain ripped through his right hand.

Within two hours of Kagome’s picnic Sephiroth came charging over the hill yelling for Lady Kagome but they could not hear what exactly it was that he was yelling.

Just as Kagome stands up to see what it is that Sephiroth is yelling at her, she feels a terrible pain of something injecting into her neck.

Before she could comprehend what was happening she collapsed to the ground only to see blood gushing from her abdomen. She tried to scream and move but she could do nothing but just lay there in horror.

Suddenly a foot came into her line of view and she knew instantly whose foot that belonged to; her beloved half demon, Inuyasha.

Instantly Damien, Ayame, and Sephiroth had Inuyasha surrounded.

‘Why did Damien and Ayame not move to protect Kagome sooner?’ Sephiroth thought as he tried to get closer to Kagome to assess her condition and that of her pups.

Inuyasha let out a growl as Sephiroth tried to come closer to Kagome.

‘You will stay away from my bitch guard.’

‘She is not your bitch pup, she is your brother’s bitch and by law your Alpha. You disrespect her, your brother and your father by acting like this. What of your own mate, Kikyo?’

‘Leave her out of this. That bitch is dead now and Kagome is mine now.’

Before their conversation could go any further a smell and a motion caught both of their attention.

Inuyasha looked to the bear demon he had never seen before. He was curious as to why he would cut his own right hand rather deeply.

Before Sephiroth could question Damien about his action he heard the strangest of noises in the distance from the east.

Lord Sesshoumaru dropped to his knees as he finally registered the pain in his right hand being that of his mate.

‘Mate in trouble, Sephiroth failed. We must get back to her and our pups.’

With that thought he orbed himself back to the palace and in a matter of minutes he found himself at Kagome’s picnic area.

What greeted his sight was the most horrifying vision that not even the god of nightmares could create.

There on the ground lay Kagome unmoving bleeding profusely from the abdomen with Ayame and Sephiroth trapping Inuyasha where he was while a strange bear demon was bleeding from a wound on his right hand.

Sesshoumaru looked from Kagome on the ground to the bear demon. He could not figure out why he felt more drawn to the bear than his own mate but he went along with his beast.

‘Mate is injured, must check on mate.’

Slowly and carefully Sesshoumaru stepped closer and closer to the bear demon. When he was but a mere three feet away he stated, “What is the meaning of this?”

Damien could do nothing but chuckle a little at the confused stated that Sesshoumaru appeared to be in.

As Inuyasha turns back towards the bear demon he is temporarily blinded by a bright flash of white light emanating from said bear demon.

As soon as the white light dissipated Inuyasha dropped to his knees. There in front of him stood a very pregnant Kagome with her mate holding her safely behind him.

Inuyasha then turned to look at Kagome that was on the ground only to see Kikyo standing and removing some sort of sack that was filled with blood.

He quietly asked, “Kikyo? How is this possible? I thought you were dead?”

With a sadden expression she stated, “You tried to kill me in your demon form but you were unsuccessful Love. I could not allow you to harm Kagome or her pups and so when she came up with this plan I agreed. I knew you would not be able to distinguish the scent of the goat’s blood if you thought it was really Kagome you had injured.”

Together Kikyo and Kagome locked eyes and they moved to either side of Inuyasha.

They could both see the dark demonic aura that had embedded itself in Inuyasha’s heart and they both nodded their heads and began to chant an incantation.

Sesshoumaru moved to stop Kagome but was stopped by a barrier that was put around her, Kikyo, and Inuyasha.

‘I am sorry beloved but I can’t have you stopping or interrupting this right now. One wrong move and we could loose Inuyasha altogether.’

‘I understand but so help me if I sense anything wrong happening to you I will break down this weak barrier and pull you out of there before you have a chance to blink.’

‘Yes my Love I understand!’ with that Kagome concentrated completely on healing Inuyasha.

After five minutes of nonstop chanting the barrier finally dissipated and Kagome was barely able to stand.

Sesshoumaru quickly rushed to her side as he saw that Inuyasha was lying on the ground with his head in Kikyo’s lap.

“It is done, he has been healed.” Kagome stated as she fell asleep in Sesshoumaru’s arms.

Sesshoumaru held the sleeping form of his pupped mate as he sent a death glare to Sephiroth.

“You will tell me the meaning of this, now!”

“Milord I assure you that if I had any knowledge that this was going to occur that I would have done everything in my power to make sure that it did not. However since I was left in charge of keeping Lady Kagome safe and I failed I will accept any and all punishment that you deem worthy for my failure.” Sephiroth stated as he lowered to a submissive position.

Sesshoumaru strode towards the palace and looked over his shoulder and replied, “I shall deal with you once I have taken my mate to the healer and she awakens.”

Sephiroth slowly rose to his feet and proceeded to the main hall, he knew that is were Sesshoumaru would want to deal with his punishment at.

Two hours rolled by before Kagome finally awoke and the look on her mate’s face was one she would rather not have seen.

“Such a pleasant face to awake to my Love!” she stated with a thick dose of sarcasm.

“Do you have any idea what you put yourself through, much less the pups with your stunt today woman? Do you know how close I came to loosing everything that I have ever wanted?”

She sat up and rubbed the back of her hand on his cheek and slowly leaned in to softly kiss him.

“I am sorry my Love however I would not have changed a thing. The pups and I are well and Inuyasha has been healed and returned to his mate as well. You must understand and believe that I had every possible scenario planned out. The only thing that I think I might have changed was to actually let poor Captain Sephiroth in on my plan.” she trailed off.

When Sesshoumaru turned his face from her she gasped, “You didn’t punish him did you? He knew nothing of what I had planned. Please don’t punish him because you have a hardheaded mate that doesn’t know how to let you do everything your way.”

With that he looked back at her with a smirk, “Well at least we finally agree upon something else!”

After she was done hitting his arm he turned serious again and stated, “No I have not punished Captain Sephiroth yet. He would have known what you were up to if he had done his job well…”

“And my mate would have known I was up to something if he had actually come to say goodbye to me this morning instead of smirking and telling a house maid to tell me he had business to attend too.” she stated challengingly.

He sighed in defeat as he got up to leave the room; he knew that she had him on that. There really was no way around it, if Sephiroth was guilty for neglecting his duties then so was he for thinking that his crafty mate would not be resourceful enough to sneak around undetected.

Slowly Sephiroth rose as Lord Sesshoumaru entered the main hall.

“Captain Sephiroth I am here by taking away the right to be my mate’s personal body guard.” he paused as he witnessed the shame enter the young captain’s eyes. “However I have decided to test your abilities one more time as my children’s personal bodyguard. I however will become my own Mate’s protector for she has taught me that not all things are true to the senses.”

Sephiroth beamed with pride; he knew that Lady Kagome must have pulled something really big over Lord Sesshoumaru in order for him to think that he needed to rethink exactly how powerful he really was.

‘I must remember to thank the Lady of the West at some point for showing lenience on ’ he thought. “I will do my best and I shall not disappoint you or the Lady of the West again in my effort!” bowing slowly for emphasis he rose and left to bring back the two wards of the west.

Four months have passed since that incident now. Captain Sephiroth has kept his word by not letting down Lady Kagome or Lord Sesshoumaru with his abilities to keep an eye on the pups. Rin has been off and on training with Priestess Kaede and Kikyo and Shippo has started his light training to one day be the top palace guard, while helping Captain Sephiroth when he can with the pups. Ayame and Koga are expecting their first pup in half a month’s time. Kagome and Sesshoumaru have been ruling the West very well, when he is not trying to pup her again (poor Kagome!!! LOL yeah right). As for Kikyo and Inuyasha that are great. They are on the way to the on this day so that Kikyo can give birth to her pup as well. Some how or another when Kagome and Kikyo purged Inuyasha of the dark demonic aura it somehow managed to transform him into a full demon. He no longer has to worry about the blood lusting demon ever taking control for it lies dormant within. Inuyasha has also decided to join the royal guards; who else is going to have the patience to train that crafty fox?!


Author Notes

Ok I am SO VERY SORRY it took THIS long to get these last two chapters out but I do so hope that you all like them and look forward to any and all reviews that you all may send my way. Again thank you to all of the reviewers and adders of this fanfic I do appreciate it. I am looking at now devoting all of my attention on the story The Hidden Strength but I can not tell you when I will have an update on it yet, hopefully soon or I feel I will start getting flames LOL (runs for cover) Again I hope you like these last two chapters and I am sorry if they seem rush but like I said I felt like I was dragging out the inevitable and I was running out of things to put in here so rather then never updating I decided to kill off the story sooner. It still had the ending I was expecting though Inuyasha turning a full demon was not what I had planned but in my half asleep mind it came out and worked so I am happy with it. And NO I do not plan on making a sequel to this period; I would have no idea where to start even if I wanted too. (which I don’t) and on that note I am off to bed. ENJOY!!!! And again don’t forget to keep an eye out for the update of The Hidden Strength!!!!!
