Chapter 8

 

Southern Nations

 

The group arrived at a town where a lot of different types of food were served (what is now known as Osaka, sorry I don't know what it was called back then but it could be the same), “Oh Inuyasha lets stop for food it want to try some of this!” asked the young kit. “No! If we stop now we may miss any trail of Naraku!” He kept walking away while everybody else stopped at an open octopus ball (don't think gross guys) shop that sold it with specialty sauces, the hanyo never noticed that his party was never near him, “So you guys when we get to the south where should we look next?” when no one answered he turned to see them standing at the shop, “Hey I said no breaks!!” they continued to eat hearing him loud and clear even while at a few yards away. “Why don't you guys listen! I want to get Naraku! Stop eating!” the group finally finished eating and went about the journey.

While in the forest between the food city (Osaka) and what is now know as Kobe there was a strong scent of blood that was rank to Inuyasha's nose, “There was a blood bath here. Kagome do sense a jewel shard around here?” Kagome closed her eyes and focused; her aura was encircled around her body, unknowingly her hands had clasped in prayer formation and the aura concentrated in her hand a beamed a light in the direction the blood scent was coming from. The group was flabbergasted, Shippou spoke first “Kagome? How did you do that?” Kagome was confused, “How did I do what Shippou? Oh yeah Inuyasha the jewel shard is in that direction” she said pointed where the beam of light pointed moments ago. “Uh yeah I know that.” Said the disturbed hanyo, (POV) how the hell did she do that? I should have spoke to the old lady about this because this could be a good or bad thing, I hope Naraku won't use this to his advantage like he did with Kikyo.

They arrived at the location where a large bear demon was slaughtering villagers for no apparent reason. “Hey bear, what the hell are you doing?” the bear stood on its hind legs “These mortals have invaded my lair, they refused to leave and they died if you don't leave your fate will be the same!” Inuyasha accepted the challenge, “Heh! If you think I'm scared of you, you must be mistaking me for a regular human. Well I'm a half demon! And if you don't stop killing innocent people you'll have to end up like your victims.” The bear ran to Inuyasha with claws fully extended, he just pierced Inuyasha's haori top. The glow of the sacred jewel told Kagome the location, “Inuyasha it's in his right paw!” “I got it!” he swung his sword and missed because the bear dodged. The bear moved rather quickly all due to the jewel shard empowering its body. The bear went straight toward the chest striking the rib cage, “Ahhhhhh!” Kagome ran to his side “Are you ok? Oh my gosh your spitting up blood!” Sango and Mirouku kept the demon at bay, while Kagome tended to Inuyasha, “Please wake up! We can't do this without you!” the force of the bear sent the couple flying; they hit their head rendering them unconscious. The bear looked at Kagome, “You and the fox child are the last left I advise you two to run.” The bear said sternly. Kagome stood up to the beast, “I can't let you hurt them!” the miko energy shot up and swirled around her body like fire, Shippou was honestly scared because he'd never seen her so angry or powerful, he slowly backed away from her. Inuyasha was now conscious and he seen the energy around her all he could do was stare. What the hell is going on? Her power is amazing! Kagome reached behind her for the arrow much like at the competition she looked back at Inuyasha who was still staring, she turned back to her target place the bow with the arrow, lined up her shot, focused her energy and it appeared at the tip of the arrow head in a small marble sized circle, she pulled back her arm and fired. The arrow disintegrated the demon, her aura dissipated and she collapsed and he caught her. “Kagome what's happening to you?” the miko from beyond the grave walked from behind some bush (What surprise right?) “Her emotions are controlling her power. It was her will to let you all live by taping all that she held in for quite some time now.” “So why can't she use it whenever she wants?” Her smoky gray eyes looked into his golden ones, “Because she loves you its only when her love for you is at its peak her power is able to rise. It's the power of ai.” Inuyasha stared at her small frame, “Kagome…” he stopped his sentence when he hears Shippou stepping out of the bushes, “Inuyasha is Kagome alright?” he rubbed the kits head, “yeah she just used a lot of energy, she saved us all.” Mirouku and Sango were checking each other for bruising. “Are you ok?” “I'm ok if you are.” They embraced each other. “When you two stop petting each other can we go, because Kagome needs rest she helped us all.” He picked her up and walked to safer ground. Little did they know that from now on they we not safe, currently there is a certain person flying above them keeping tabs on their movements. “If they thought they had him before, they may not make it he is hell bent on killing them this time. I hope they get him this time because I can have my freedom.” The spy flew away.

 

They set up camp to allow Kagome to rest until the next day, Shippou, Kilala and Kagome were sleeping while Inuyasha was leaning against the tree keeping an eye on Kagome if anything should occur. Mirouku and Sango snuck off to a hidden brush in the woods to canoodle in private. “You know Mirouku we shouldn't be doing this.” Giggled at the thought of doing a dirty deed in the open. “Well you were the one who suggested we go some place alone.” Mirouku said while nuzzling on her neck, it felt good to Sango who allowed herself to emit a soft moan. “Mirouku I don't think we should…mmm…” he slid his hand through her kimono and kneaded her love bud until he felt her moistness signaling her readiness. He hiked up his robe and straddled her legs around his waist and guided himself into her, she bit at his neck to stifle her moans and screams but it did her no good when he heartily thrust himself into her being causing her to scream so loud the sleeping animals in the woods rustled. Inuyasha who'd heard everything since they went off quite some time ago was rather disgusted and a little curious to see what it was like to be inside a woman, it was often when around Kagome they called out to her heat which often needed to be taken care of with a dip into a freezing pond. “Kagome, I wish I could make a choice but I can't! I do want to be with you but there is Kikyo I'm worried about I know she tried to kill you a few times and I know that if I took the risk of being with you she or any other demon who has a vendetta against me will try and hurt you.” What the boy didn't know was that she was wide awake (Thanks to Sango and Mirouku) and heard everything that he said. “Thank you. I guess that was something I needed to hear, and I…want to be with you too.” They both blushed, Kagome moved closer to him and leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep. Sango and Mirouku snuck back in to camp, Inuyasha heard them, “Freaks!” he said while resting his head atop Kagome's. They both looked at each other and laughed silently.

 

The following morning…

 

The group awoke to the smell of grilled fish a sort of thank you present to Kagome for saving them; Inuyasha was the first to eat, “All right grilled fish!” Inuyasha continued to talk with his mouth full, “You know Kagome… I think… your powers have gotten pretty good.” Kagome smiled “You know I think your right, I remember a little bit of what happened yesterday. You and everyone else except for Shippou and I were out cold. The bear was going to kill us and I just snapped and I felt my energy swelled up a surrounded me I reached to get an arrow pulled back the arrow and let go.” Inuyasha stated “Do you remember the look you gave me?” Kagome just blinked her eyes “Nope I don't. All I remember is that after I let go of the arrow I blacked out.”

 

With that the group packed up and continued the walk. It became such a chore just to walk since being in the south the temperature was a lot less bearable, “Inuyasha it's hot! Can we please…take a brake! Cried the young kit.” “No! We rested yesterday after that fight with the bear!” Shippou jumped and screamed, “That's because everybody passed out! I want to have a break!” the two bickered while everyone else walked away towards the next town. Which is Okayama (don't ask me about that locations specialties if you guys know e-mail me.) they mostly walked for most of the remainder of the day until a few hours after nightfall. “Oh man I'm soo beat! Lets skip dinner and just go to sleep, is that alright guys?” everybody except the hanyou agreed unbeknownst to them all he was the most tired he had so many things on his mind, he was sure a few times he smelled Kikyo's presence and was worried, he still couldn't sleep so with the rest of the group asleep he decided to take a walk.

 

A few yards away Kikyo's soul collectors were supplying their owner; Inuyasha instantly spotted them and ran to that direction. “Kikyo…are you following us?” Kikyo did not answer, “Why are you following us? Does it have anything to do with Kagome?” Kikyo laughed, “What do you think I want with that child? I'm here to make sure you're safe. The wench aside did you enjoy yourself the last time we were together?” He avoided looking into her eyes, “If I remember correctly you enjoyed it, did you not?” she walked to him and he jumped back, “Don't do this Kikyo! I just want to avenge your death I don't want Kagome to hate me.” Kikyo's eyes were glazed over, she couldn't stand it when he mentioned that bitches name, “I don't care about you wench, I am the woman you love. I love you still. I will not allow her to claim you! It doesn't matter if I'm dead I can still be alive as long as there are women dying I have a place on this earth…” Inuyasha interrupted her “No you don't! You died over 55 years ago! You wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for Urasue, so if you didn't realize that the very person that you hate is the main thing feeding your soul.” Kikyo's eyes didn't hide her anger, “Is that how you feel? You think that my life is surviving because of that girl I live because of her soul! I live because I want to!”

 

“Heh, all I can see is that you have much resentment about Kagome, I'm just trying to tell you leave her alone!” he walked away and once again she used her soul collectors to bind Inuyasha's movements. “Kikyo I won't let you take me again! He slashed at the collectors killing 3 while setting the captured souls free.” Kikyo was shocked and furious, “No Inuyasha, what have you done! You killed the souls I needed live! I guess you really don't love me do you?” she called the remaining collectors to her and floated away. Almost regretted killing the soul collectors but knew that she'd try to overcome his body with sex. He walked back to camp and tried to get some sleep. In the morning they had a quick breakfast and continued the trip, Kagome sensed the shikon jewel, “Inuyasha I feel the jewel and it's coming fast!” Inuyasha sniffed the air and growled “It's that mangy wolf!” Koga came running in a tornado and right behind him was his travel companions and wolves. “Hello my dear Kagome, I'm sure you missed me because I missed you.” He said while stroking her hand, while Kagome smile and laughed nervously. “What are you following us for Koga? And let Kagome's hand go!” Koga embraced Kagome is there anything you need from your man?” “Uh…no Koga I don't think I'll be needing anything… (she thought for a sec) oh wait Koga! I do need something from you.” Inuyasha's eyed bulged out of his head, “What the hell could you possibly need from that flea bag!” “Shut up mutt face, I'll do what ever my woman wants of me.” Inuyasha growled and stalked towards them to strangle Koga. “Sit.” And Inuyasha tasted southern soil for the first time which was similar to all the soil he's been flattened to over the past five years except that is was softer due to the climate, Kagome continued “Koga I need you to find out some information for me, it's about Naraku. We need to find out from any demons or villagers if they seen of sensed any dark forces or seen anything unusual in the past month.” “Is that all you need me to do, well then I'm on it!” Koga took off with dust in Inuyasha's wake. “That damn wolf he thinks he's got a job to do when all you did was send him away! Heh! You should have just let me take care of him.” Kagome really did give Koga a job to do but she wasn't about to tell Inuyasha that. “Well let's take a dip until… (she was about to spill the beans) it's time to eat!” Everyone agreed even Inuyasha didn't mind a swim in the lake he was starting to get hot (remember dogs don't have sweat glands). Kagome and Sango changed into their swimsuits (Kagome brought them in her time) they stepped out behind the wooded area they changed in and the boys (except for Shippou) were a little more than shocked girls were wearing two piece bikinis in colors that complemented their body. Sango wearing a pink tie up suit that looked great on her flawless body, and Kagome wore hunter green suit that hugged her curves and gave her breasts a full and upright appearance. Both men had full erections despite the cool water, Inuyasha found it rather difficult to suppress, as for Mirouku he had a grin on his face that made both women blush profusely. They walked into the water looking like goddesses that were meant to be surrounded by water. Kagome was walking to sit in the sunny spot, she tripped on a moss covered rock and Inuyasha caught her in his strong arms. “Are…are you ok Kagome.” All Kagome could hear was the rapid sounds of her heartbeat, which she wasn't sure if the cause was adrenaline from the fall or that Inuyasha's skin was in direct contact with hers. “Yes…I am ok, thank you.” He gently laid her in the water and sat beside her, suddenly he got the urge to be playful (you know the foreplay thing) by splashing water in her face, she screamed and returned the favor, and then soon every body got into the fray. Inuyasha picked up Kagome, lifted her over his head and tossed her. “Oh! Inuyasha I'm going to get you! She swam over to him placed her hands on his shoulders and did her version of dunking by pushing his head under water, Kagome was laughing and Inuyasha stopped struggling and Kagome put her hands to her mouth and screamed, “Inuyasha I'm sorry get up!” no response from Inuyasha, “Please, please get up!” still no answer. Mirouku and Sango stopped playing and went to Kagome's side, “What happened lady Kagome, is Inuyasha playing a trick on you?” “No! I was dunking him and I…I was just playing and I guess that he was gasping for air and I…I didn't notice he may have drowned!” Mirouku grabbed Inuyasha's head out of the water and pulled him to the shore. He checked to see if Inuyasha was breathing but he wasn't. “Get out of the way I took a class in CPR I can do it!” The couple looked to each other, “What is CPR?” How am I supposed to know?”

 

Kagome tilted his back opened his mouth and breathed, checked his heart rate and pulse and repeated, this went on for 2 more minutes as every second passed the more worried and frantic she got. “BREATHE INUYASH, BREATHE!” she pounded her hands to his chest “BREATHE YOU JERK! DON'T DO THIS TO ME, I LOVE YOU! PLEASE!” she repeated the CPR techniques and he coughed up the water she sat him up and he began to speak, “I…I cant believe that I almost died. The great Inuyasha dies by drowning, ha! I wonder what Sesshomaru would think. Thanks Kagome, I love you too.” He grabbed Kagome pulled her close to him and kissed her and everybody gasped, Kagome pushed herself away blushed and said, “SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!” after about 20 minutes he was able to get off the ground. “Well jeez Kagome I would have thought you'd be happy to kiss me after I almost died!” everyone laughed and just set up camp for the night.

 

Inuyasha started to hear the familiar chant which was the source of his recent stress. “Ye who fights ones feelings of ai shall succumb one way or another either by force or will of thine own, it will be up to ye to maintain the true feelings. Hurt will strike either new or old flames of passion the true outcome will be either death or true ai.”

“What does this really mean? I don't understand it. In my heart my feelings are towards Kagome but my loins are aroused by Kikyo and Kagome. What should I do?” there was still a good amount of sunlight left (not that it matters) so Inuyasha went for a walk; when he got up it was as if Kagome missed him already, “Where are you going?” “I'm goin' for a walk I need to clear my head.” She started to worry, “You've been going on a lot of walks lately do you need some company?” “Well no I don't but I'll be thinkin' of you while I'm doing it.” At least he was telling the truth. He set of on his walk.

 

He'd traveled a lot since meeting Kagome and not once before he met even Kikyo had he set foot in the southern lands, he'd always heard about the beauty of the land from his mother. Also since Kagome entered his life he found himself appreciating the time he spent with his mom instead of resenting her for the demise he and she (the mother) could not prevent. He found an open meadow which he sat and looked up at the stars thinking of his mother and the stories she told him about the southern lands.

 

Flashback

“Inuyasha…Inuyasha…It's time for bed.”

“Ok mother.” He jumped onto the tatami mat. “Mother tell me a story…anything.” She kneeled on the floor beside him and stroked his head. “Have I ever told you about the southern nations?” He shook his head no. “Well then pay attention. Beyond Mt. Fuji is a land of long and lush territory, for miles there is nothing but grass as green a seaweed (sorry for the weak comparison but I didn't want to use the constantly use “green as emeralds”) and you can see so many stars it boggles the mind. A young girl named Kaname…” he jumped up “Hey that's your name mother!” she smiled motioned for him to lie back down and continued. “She was wealthy and had the pleasure of traveling with her family wherever there was business regarding the daimyo while playing in the field she fell down a very steep hill and injured her leg and ruined her very beautiful kimono. She cried but there was no one to help her, and that's when a pure white dog came running towards her from the heavens and came to her aide. When it had seen her injuries he whimpered in her favor, he smelled the wound licked and pawed at it and the wound healed also to repair her torn clothing it rubbed it self against the garment and it magically was restored to its original splendor and just as swift as the dog came it left. The girl ran after the dog wanting to thank it and keep it for herself but sadly she didn't see it again until…” she heard light snoring and looked down to see her young son asleep and seemingly satisfied with the story.

“Well, well little brother I see we meet in the same area, no doubt to chase our common adversary, if you could not beat him before what makes you think you can beat him now?” Inuyasha was angry that he was torn from a good memory, “So. What the hell makes you think you can do any better?” he said standing up to his half brothers face. Sesshomaru grabbed the handle on Tokijin and removed it from its scabbard, “Would you like me to show you?” Inuyasha did the same with his tetsusiaga, “Well then...come…on!” he charged at his brother and swung they both stood dead locked unable to move. “Looks like you've gotten stronger little brother; I guess the wench knows how to satisfy you?” Inuyasha growled at the comment, “I could say the same about your wench did she grow up yet.” Sesshomaru squinted his eyes and cut into Inuyasha's arm, luckily he did remove Inuyasha's arm, but Sesshomaru wanted to show his brother that it was the love of Rin that made him stronger but he'd never let him know. Sesshomaru swung Tokijin and a powerful blast was coming toward the wounded half breed, but he was a lot smarter, he used the bakuryuha and doubled the power that Tokijin sent, Sesshomaru dodged, barely but also walked away with an arm injury. Both spent they looked back at each other and went their separate ways.

 

Currently with Sesshomaru

 

“Rin are you ready lord Sesshomaru should be here any second and he'll be hungry so you'd better have the roasted boar done.” The now 16 year old Rin nodded her head at her handler, “Yes master Jaken.” In way Jaken had come to love Rin's company and had come to accept that she was a permanent fixture in Lord Sesshomaru's life. Sesshomaru came through the woods with blood gushing from his arm, “Oh! Lord Sesshomaru! Sesshomaru what happened? Is their anything I can do?” she thought for a second and ran through the woods to retrieve blood clotting herbs she learned from Kagome.

 

Flashback

Ah-un hurry we can not let Master Jaken bleed to death he said the spell he cast will keep his wounds at bay for two days that's all we have left to find the blood clotting herbs. “Rin you must look for the flower whose pollen is the color blood when you obtain it you must grind it and use spring water to make it a potion, and once you do you must bring it to me and then I'll do the rest.” Ah-un lets go it see it and I also see Lord Sesshomaru's brother and his friend Kagome. “Hi you must be Rin I've seen you a couple of times and you are a pretty one. Is there something I can help you with?” “Yes master Jaken is bleeding to death and I need to find a clotting flower.” Kagome reached into her bag and retrieved the item the girl needed. “Oh that's it! OH thank you Kagome!” Kagome also gave her a paper with all of the medicinal herbs, their uses, and where to find them. “When ever you need something to heal an aliment look to this paper and it should help, ok.” Rin smiled at Kagome and ran off to help Jaken.

End flashback

 

Rin found the flower she hadn't had the need of the map after Kagome had gave it to her 5 years ago. Jaken was always getting hurt so it took her no time at all to find the herbs she needed. Ah-un was waiting to bring her back to camp. “Let's go I have to get to Lord Sesshomaru quickly.” Minutes later she arrived where Sesshomaru's bleeding had already started to subside. “Rin what were you think running off into the forest like that!” “I'm sorry master Jaken I just wanted to help Lord Sesshomaru; I mean he was bleeding so worried” Rin put her head down in shame. “You jest girl! Remember Lord Sesshomaru is a full blooded demon no scratch could kill him!” Rin walked over to Sesshomaru and kneeled by his side, “I'd be so scared if anything happened to you my lord. I hope you know that I love you.” Jaken's bottom lip hit the floor, Sesshomaru looked up at Rin, “I love you too Rin.” Jaken passed out, while Rin's eyes began to water, she jumped to Sesshomaru and kissed him he embraced her with his arm. He scooped her small frame and walked to a clearing area where the moonlight shone on her well developed body. (People I am not a pervert back in the day you were allowed to get married and have children at 16 so please no flames on this chap) “Rin I have watched you grow into a beautiful young woman, you have been by my side for years and I have come to love you very much and I want to make you my mate.”

 

He kissed her again and a new power in him was awakened; he started to glow he wasn't turning to his demon form but a sleeping power stirred through his body. His royal markings appeared on his face and the crescent moon on his forehead began to glow (both of them were oblivious to this), he began to undress Rin he'd never realized how much she'd grown, her hair was longer, she was taller, and her body had grown in places he'd never laid eyes on until now. “Rin you're so beautiful…” in turn Rin removed his clothes, she'd never seen Sesshomaru in this way of course she had a crush on him but she'd never thought it would be the way it was now. She was amazed by his body it was nothing short of amazing. He was always a beautiful man it was just a moving moment to be with the man that had saved her life all those years ago. “Sesshomaru I have always wished to be with you, are you sure you want to be with me, I mean after all I am a human.” He looked into her eyes and held her tightly, “I have always been brought up to think of humans as a lower species, that was until I had seen my brother with that woman from the future and what she'd done for him and then I met you although you were young I felt attached to you and your purity. When I think of the narrow-mindedness I was raised in I feel like I don't deserve you.”

 

Flashback

“Lady Yuriko I have fallen in love with another woman I can not be with you.” Yuriko looked heartbroken and bitter, “Who! Who have you fallen for! I am the daughter of the second highest member of the dog clan of the western nation! You do not leave me!” Saga Taisho (I really don't know the name I just made it up ok!) looked angry, “Your father may be a member of my court but I am prince and future king of this land! You have no say so in my choice for a mate!” Yuriko grabbed the young Sesshomaru, “What about our son! Sesshomaru needs you he is the heir you produced and that you helped make I will not allow you to leave us. Who do you plan on trying to leave us for?” “I am leaving to stay with Kaname the princess in Edo.” Yuriko was stunned and hurt beyond all belief and for the first time in her life she cried. “A human! You dare leave your wife and child for a human woman! Well…fine! Leave us I just want one thing… I want a title I want every one in this region to know my son and I are of a prominent standing, and a few more requests on the behalf of our son. You must still attempt to be a father to him, and the last is that he has one thing of yours so the world can know he is the son of the Lord of the western lands.” Saga Taisho nodded in agreement and walked out. Yuriko looked at her son “Sesshomaru Tashio, my son, my little Sesshi…I want you to listen to me carefully.” Little Sesshomaru nodded, “Humans have no place in this world they are like food to us. They are here only temporarily not forever like us. Never ever fall in love with a human they only disappoint and get in the way. Your father left us to be with a mortal woman who will not live very long and only then will he come back to us.” Sesshomaru took to heart every word his mother said and instead of hating his father for leaving he hated the woman he left his mother for and soon the bastard child they made.

End Flashback

 

“You do deserve me my lord.” He smiled “Please I'd like you to call me Sesshomaru.” Rin laughed, “Yes L…Sesshomaru.” Sesshomaru knew she was inexperienced and was determined on taking his time with her, the new couple made love in the moonlight and Rin was now on her way to becoming a full fledged woman.

 

 

Currently back at camp

 

Inuyasha was getting chewed out by Kagome who was more than a little upset when she'd seen Inuyasha's wounds. “I can not believe you fought your brother and you didn't ask for help. You are practically bleeding to death and all you can say is I'm sorry!”

 

“What do you want me to do Kagome, I did what I said went to take a walk and then Sesshomaru happened to be in the area and he challenged me so we fought and that's it!” “Inuyasha you don't seem to understand your brother could have killed you! Sure what ever was I thinking when…I can't even complete my sentence! I would tell you to sit but I don't think just sitting you will be enough! Don't you understand my kokoro is beating for you and I can't think without you near me! I care about you!” a whirlwind came out from the forest. “Hello my dearest Kagome, I have the information you needed.” Kagome was glad to at least be off the subject of Inuyasha's problem with his brother and her constant worry of his safety. “So let's go over towards the brook over that way.” Kouga stuck his tongue at Inuyasha, and Inuyasha just hoped that he wouldn't try anything slick with Kagome.

“So Kouga what did you find out?” Kouga cleared his throat and gave up the info that he received the only thing was that he wasn't going to tell her anything because he wanted to defeat Naraku himself and take Kagome to be his mate. “I found out that Kagura was spotted flying a little more south of here and that there are some jewel shards out there that he lost fleeing from the last battle you guys had.”

“So how far south is he exactly?” Kouga cleared his throat again, “Well that I don't know. If that's all you need right now I'm gonna get back to my friends.” Kagome had to admit Kouga was pretty reliable even if he was a little obsessive with her when she really didn't like him, only as a friend. She went back to camp and lay down to sleep, while she prepared to sleep Inuyasha was having a debate with himself. (POV) I can't believe she went off with that dirty wolf! He comes back if information that's probably wrong or somethin' and she more than likely fell for it. “Inuyasha I know you're up so what is it. What are you complaining about I know it's about Kouga.” Inuyasha sighed and continued sulking, “Look Kagome I don't understand why you were so worked up about me fighting with Sesshomaru he and I have a meet and greet relationship, we meet each other in an empty field and we greet each other with swords drawn.” Kagome laughed “I just want you to be careful when you and your brother get around each other there is always someone trying to kill you when you're occupied. I don't want you to die. I can't do this without you.”

 

He now understood her anger and reason for walking off with Kouga; she thought that Kikyo was nearby. Energy surged through Kagome's body and her jealous suspicion was correct, she closed her eyes and focused on her energy, she opened her eyes, “Got it!” She grabbed her bow and arrow and took off run equal to a hanyou's speed. Inuyasha never seen her move so fast, “What the hell is going on?” he thought about what Kikyo said, “Her emotions are controlling her power.” Kagome stopped a few yards away from her put she put arrow into position in the bow and fired, but her deceased counterpart knew exactly what she was doing she grabbed the arrow and in turn did the same, and Kagome was nothing short of surprised but she was beginning to excel in archery herself so very quickly she drew another arrow and fired back. The arrows clashed head on and sent beams of purplish-pink energy throughout the forest and Inuyasha knew to be very worried. “Kagome! Where are you? What the hell was that, are you alright?” he finally found them…yes them the two women who have been the source of all the stress he'd suffered from. “What are you both doing here?” both of the women had arrows pointed at each others hearts dead on ready to fire if the other did so much as to blink an eye.

 

“Ladies why are you here?” still no word from either woman. “Why are you fighting?” again no word they remained dead locked until the soul collectors came to supply their owner. Kagome seen an opening and released her arrow with plenty of force behind it, all Inuyasha could do was gasp. Being the loyal little demon it was a soul collector took the hit for its master and died, Kikyo fired at her but Kagome in shock from her foiled attempt to kill her rival kept her rooted to her spot, Inuyasha ran and performed the same feat the soul collector did except there was no demise. “No Inuyasha don't!” he fell to the floor out cold, “Inuyasha are you alright please get up! I can't lose you again. Please answer me!” Kikyo slowly walked over to Inuyasha's side, Kagome looked to her with anger, “Don't you dare come near him!” while looking her in the eye she pulled another arrow and aimed it at Kikyo's non existent heart. “Leave us alone he no longer wants you! Go away and die!” she released the arrow and it struck her in the right arm and broke (remember her body is nothing but clay and graveyard soil) some of the souls supplying her life flew from her body. “Leave now! I love him and you longer hold a place in this world or his heart, die please die!” she fired a constant barrage of arrows, she was so upset and enraged her shots were longer hitting the mark. This gave Kikyo an opportunity to flee, once out of sight Kagome returned to Inuyasha's side. “Inuyasha…” she checked his breathing which was very shallow and labored.

 

She removed the haori top from him and got a better look at the arrow still in his back. If I move it, it could only make things worse what can I do? Voices started to fill up her head, the power of you ai can heal him, only you priestess your blood line is the one that can heal all wounds. Give him unto yourself and thine ai that you have will bloom. The only way to break this is to remove your chastity to the one you love. Once complete you take thine pain unto yourself. “I don't understand?” she looked up to the stars for a sign, still nothing. “Inuyasha I have to remove the arrow and take…” she gasped “I got it now…I have to…give up my virginity to…save his LIFE!” for a second she was about to back out at the though of losing her virginity to him, when she wasn't even sure he loved her. But she remembered the power of the enchanted arrows it could kill him instead of putting him to sleep since he is bleeding so much. “Ok Inuyasha…I'll do it for you that's only because I love you.” She removed her clothing and strode him. Without realizing it she placed her hands above her chest and began to chant words that she'd never said before and felt a power she'd never felt surge through her body and most of it is gathered at her loins. Her miko energy surrounded the both of them and she removed the remainder of his clothing and then she massaged his manhood until it became erect enough for her to place in her awaiting lips (not the ones on her face) she gasped and moaned as she placed him inside of her. “Oh…Inuyasha I want you to share this feeling with me, mmm…if I would have known it was this incredible to be with you I would have done it sooner.”

 

The wound started to close up with the energy she emitted and the same aura that sealed the wound struck her in the same place and the process was complete but against her better judgment she stayed in the same position. The hanyou regained consciousness and was surprised by Kagome being on top of him and having sex with him. In a way it reminded him of the time when Kikyo had her way with him but he didn't feel dirty he felt elated. “Kagome…uh…what are…you doing…uh…” he grabbed her waist and guided her movements to now please himself. “Inuyasha…oh…uh…I…need you.” The warm summer air blew a gentle breeze on their bare skin causing the sensation they were giving each other to intensify. Inuyasha stopped Kagome, “I want to change positions, I want you to feel all of me Kagome, and I've always wanted this to happen.”

 

Currently with Kikyo

 

“I can't believe she hurt me! If it wasn't for me dying she would never have existed.” Kikyo still running through the forest and all of the souls she'd consumed over the years were leaving her body now free to rest in peace and from the lack souls to maintain her; the clay body started to deteriorate and crumble. “I…I am…d…dying.” She looked back in direction where she left Kagome and Inuyasha and she saw the aura and felt the something she'd hadn't been able to feel in years…pain. She is mating with him and now I'll be alone to rot in hell. “Goodbye Inuyasha I love you…watashi wa aishiteru.” The main piece of her soul flew back into Kagome's body where it belonged.

 

 

 

Inuyasha laid Kagome on her back and entered her filling up her body; with each thrust of his hips Kagome dug her nails into his back nearly drawing blood. She moaned and whined in his sensitive ears which drove him insane, he could tell Kagome was near her release but he wasn't ready to finish with her yet, he removed himself from her and switched positions with her on her knees (guess what position it was?). They both reached their peaks at nearly the same time, spent and sweat drenched they leaned on each other for stability until their shivers subsided they drifted to sleep, naked and in each others arms. Inuyasha awoke just before daybreak and all he did in seconds he was awake was stare at Kagome always knowing how beautiful she was but now she never looked better; she appeared to be at ease and content and that's how he'd always wanted her to be. Kagome not feeling Inuyasha by her side she jerked out of her sleep thinking that all that occurred was a dream. She'd seen him sitting up in the same state…naked and then she knew it was all too real. “Inuyasha? The sun is going to come up soon, so don't you think it'd be wise to get dressed and get back to camp before they all wake up?” Inuyasha stood up and got dressed without conversation, (POV I can no longer smell her, and she is no longer here. Goodbye Kikyo I promise that I will get revenge until then rest in peace. And I'm sorry I choose Kagome.) “Yeah let's go I would want Shippo to ask a million questions thinking I did something bad to you, let's go koi.” He grabbed her hand, kissed her on the cheek and the walked back to camp just in time as the sun came up. (Kagome POV) did her just say koi? Koi, koi, koi…oh! That means…he…he loves me! I'm the one he wants! Kagome laughed to herself, she was beside herself with happiness she just hoped that he wouldn't regret it, but now was not the time she was just happy being his koi.

 

To the Kikyo fans R.I.P (ha! The bitch has crumbled into a million bits and pieces)

To those who wanted lemons for the new couple, what do you think?
