Preparing to Return
Disclaimer: Once and for all I do not own Inuyasha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
'Oi, I am not looking forward to this!' Kagome thought as she walked up to the God Tree.
"Inuyasha, come down here please. I need to talk to you," said Kagome in a sweet voice.
Inuyasha jumped down from his perch and landed right in front of Kagome. He gave her a wary look cuz of the sweetness in her voice. He knew that tone, and it wasn't usually good for him.
"What do you want, wench?" asked Inuyasha. He looked at her in shock. She was standing there with a smile on her face.
"Inuyasha, please sit down so I can talk to you about a sit-uation that I have."
Thud!
Thud!
Inuyasha met his dear friend the ground for his favorite meal of dirt. Good thing they were still in Kagome's time, even though they need to get going soon.
"Now if your done being such an ass, we can get down to talking seriously. Inuyahsa there are some things I need to know. One: Do you love me? Two: If you had a second chance with Kikyo would you take it? Three: After this is over will you still stay by my side and protect me with your life? Four: Do you still wish to become full demon?"
Inuyasha stood there in shock for the second time that day. Had his best friend really just asked him if he would take a second chance with Kikyo? Kagome stood there staring at Inuyasha. She could sense her mom and Lady Yuma just out of sight and knew they were anxious to hear what was said just as much as she was. She also knew that Sango, Miroku and Shippou were listening in from her bedroom window. She glanced at the window and sure enough there were the three of them waiting to hear what was said. Finally Inuyasha got over his shock, after about five minutes, and sat on the ground in front of the God tree. He sat there thinking. Kagome finally got tired of waiting and decided to give him the same advice her mom had given her.
"Inuyasha, I am gonna give you a piece of advice that was given to me. Someone once told me not to listen to your mind, listen to your heart. It worked too."
Inuyasha nodded and closed his eyes. He blocked out every sound and listened to his heart. He was shocked with what he realized. He does love Kagome, yes, but it is more like the love that one would have for a sister. Kikyo was his first true love. Kagome accepts him for who he is, but will she still stand by him if he choses to become full demon? He decided to ask her and tell her the truth.
"Kagome, yes I do love you, but not like I love Kikyo. I love you more like a sister than anything else. You have been by my side through everything. You have accepted me for who I am, not who you want me to be. You are my best friend, you were the first person to be there for me, to not run away from me just because I was always being an asshole,as you put it. I will always be by your side, I have promised to protect you with my life if need be, and I will keep that promise until you no longer want me by your side. Feh, even then you will have to kill me in order to make me leave my best friend. The only thing that I have to know is will you be by my side if I choose to become full demon?"
Kagome was just about to answer him when Sango ran by her and stopped right in front of Inuyasha. She looked beyond pissed. She then did something that she usually save for Miroku only. Sango smacked him upside the head!
"Ow, Sango what was that for?"
"INUYASHA, YOU BAKA!!!!!" Sango yelled. Then she took a few deep breaths to calm down before going on.
"Are you really that stupid???? We have all been there for you when you transformed, remember??? We were there for you before,during, and after!!!! We all decided a long time ago that no matter what we would never leave your side. Thats what friends are for Inuyasha. They stay by each other's sides no matter what, no matter who or what they are. You guys have been there for me, even though I betrayed you, you still didn't turn your back on me. Inuyasha, you are like a brother to me and I for one will be there for you weather it be as human, hanyou, or demon. You are Inuyasha no matter what form you are in. I know that I speak for Kagome, Miroku and Shippou also when I say that we will be here for you. We have all become so close. As Kagome told me earlier, we are a family, and weather you like it or not YOU are STUCK WITH US!"
After Sango said that she stomped off to the house.
"You know she is right Inuyasha. I trust all of you guys with my life, and I have good reason to do that. You guys have all stuck by me and protected me from everything. I love all of you very much. I have realized a lot of things also. One: I love you but I am not in love with you. Two: You are my best friend and I want you by my side for the rest of my life. Three: I only want you to be happy, Inuyasha. Everything Sango said is true. There are things that I need for you to know, but right now I can't tell you all of it. There are some things you need to find out for yourself. I am proud of you though Inuyasha, you have grown up a lot in the last year. You have made friends that are willing to put their lives on the line for you everyday and love you for who you are. Now I have a favor to ask of you. When we get back I don't want you and Kouga fighting. I want you two to try and get along for my sake. Let me handle Kouga. K?"
"Feh!" was the only response Kagome got.
"Oh and Inuyasha, you can call me Kags. I only let those that are close to me call me that and you are one of my best friends. I want you to call me that, k?"
"K."
Kagome walked back to the house. When she got in the house and took off her shoes, she went to the living room to wait until it was time to leave. Shippou came running in and jumped on Kagome's lap.
"Shippou, I have something I want to ask you."
"Ok, Kagome."
"When this is all over how would you like for me to officially adopt you Shippou?"
"Really? How can you do that? To do that you would have to be......." he trailed of as his eyes got wide.
"Shhhhhh, our little secret for now ok?"
"Ok! Can I start calling you momma now?"
"Of course. Now there is something else I need to talk to you about my son. When it is time for the final battle with Naraku I don't want you anywhere near it. When I give you a signal I want you to close your eyes aand count to 20, like I taught you to ok. When you open them again you will be standing at the gates of the Northern castle. I want you to go through the gates, when a guard asks what your business is tell them that you are Lady Kagome's son, that she sent you there for your safety, and that when Naraku is defeated she will return for you. They will lead you to Lord Yukka, he is my father. I want you to tell him the same thing, even though he will already know. Tell him that I ask him to prepare a room for all of us for we will be arriving after the final battle. He will ask you how many rooms need to be prepared. You will answer six. He will know who they are all for. I will remind you again just before the time comes ok?"
"Ok momma. Hey, since your my mom now does that mean Sango is my aunt and Miroku, Inuyasha and Sota are my uncles?"
Kagome laughed and shook her head yes. She laughed harder as Shippou tried to do a "happy dance" that Sota had taught him. Everyone heard Kagome laughing and came to investigate. Soon everyone was laughing, including Shippou.
All to soon it was time to leave. They were all disappointed, but promised to visit if they could. Rei pulled Kagome aside to have a mother daughter talk with her.
"Kagome, I wanted to let you know that Yuma is going to be living with us now. If you need anything from either one of us just let us know. We love you. Also try and sneak Sango back here if you can. There is so much that she didn't get to see."
Kagome giggled at that, and nodded.
"I will momma. In fact when it is time for our training sessions it would be more peaceful if we were to do them here. I will have to think of a plan to do just that. Thank you momma. I will probably see you in a week. I love you all too."
After she said that Kagome went to the well house. She looked around and saw Miroku and Inuyasha were already gone. So it was up to her to get Sango and Shippou back. No problem.
