InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Twisted Fate ❯ Miroku's Reason for Hate ( Chapter 4 )

Ch: 4 Miroku's reason for hate.

 

Miroku lunged at Arashi again in a futile attempt to cause him harm.

"Why! Why did you have to let him die?" Miroku cried as he knelt to the ground. Both InuYasha and Sango exchange glances,

"What's with him?" InuYasha asked.

"I think we should leave." Sango said as the two left to find Kagome.

"I HATE YOU! I FUCKING HATE YOU!!!" Miroku cried as he hit the ground with clenched fists.

"I did not let him die Miroku, it was beyond my power at that time to save him." Arashi said a little less apathetically than normal,

"I do however believe there is a way to bring him back. But I cannot do that." Arashi said.

"How?" Miroku said weakly,

"I know it will be difficult but I believe it can be done." Arashi said.

"How damnit!" Miroku yelled.

"Now I cannot tell you." Arashi said.

"The hell you can't!" Miroku yelled. "How?"

"I cannot tell you yet." Arashi said echoing himself.

"You had better have a damn good reason for not telling me!" Miroku said glaring at Arashi. They walked off and followed the others soon catching up with them.

"You two done?" InuYasha asked.

"Yes we are." Arashi said as he normally spoke. They came upon Kouga and Kagome closely embracing each other. InuYasha lunged at Kouga knocking him into the ground and breaking his arm. "INUYASHA! OSUWARI!!!" Kagome yelled. And he fell hard into the ground.

"What's the big idea?" he raged,

"Why in the hell are you attacking Kouga if you gave me up?" she asked him, he was shocked, speechless, and hurt, very hurt.

"Wh-what do you mean, gave you up?" he asked, and Kouga jumped on top of him punching him and causing him to gasp in pain. Miroku and Sango went to his aid as Arashi just disappeared,

"What the-?" Sango exclaimed.

"What?" Miroku asked her.

"Arashi he, just- disappeared." She told him.

"Oh yeah well he tends to do that." Miroku said.

"You mean that he can really be standing right in front of you one minute and without taking your eyes off of him, just disappear, into thin air?" She asked to clarify.

"What? No he's never done that." Miroku assured her.

"Well he just did." She informed him. 'What are you getting at Arashi?' Miroku asked 'I'm after Naraku.' He said. 'He has cast a spell on Kagome, causing her to believe everything Kouga says and be more submissive to him.' Miroku slapped Kouga away with his staff and picked up InuYasha, who glared from Kagome to Kouga, and back. "InuYasha, Listen to me, Arashi thinks that Naraku has somehow cast a spell on Kagome, actuallycausing her to be with Kouga." Miroku said trying to calm his nerves. "Fine that may be her excuse but it ain't his!" he yelled as he drew Tetsusaiga and lunged for Kouga,

"OSUWARI!!!" Kagome yelled again and Kouga jumped for InuYasha, and again Miroku and Sango come to his aid, knocking Kouga off of him, but this time Kagome shot an arrow at Miroku knocking him away from Kouga, and because of the fact that she was under a spell she could not use her sacred arrows.

"Miroku!" Sango yelled.

"Just save InuYasha I'll be fine." He said. She jumped at Kouga who dodged and she through the Hiraikotsu at him nearly taking his head off, but not wanting to kill him. InuYasha jumped from behind her and was almost to Kouga when Kagome yelled, "OSUWARI!" again, smashing him into the ground yet again. Miroku had freed himself from Kagome's arrow and ran at Kouga to block the paralyzed InuYasha from his hit. Suddenly Kagome slumped over and fell unconscious, thus releasing InuYasha from the 'osuwari' spell. He raced after Kouga who tried to jump over his head but got slashed by Tetsusaiga. Kouga fell to the ground,

"I will kill you Kouga, once and for all!" InuYasha bellowed, and went down to strike Kouga one final time.

"This will end it!" he yelled. In the blink of an eye Arashi was there and grabbed Tetsusaiga's blade, blocking the attack.

"Why are you getting in the way Arashi?" InuYasha asked.

"Well number one because Kagome is shocked and horrified by what you two are doing." Arashi replied. InuYasha looked over to see Kagome run off.

"Wait, no, Kagome come back." He yelled and raced off towards her.

"OSUWARI!" she yelled but to both his and her surprise it did nothing; InuYasha had flinched in a reaction to it but then continued after her.

"Why did he not fall?" Sango asked. Miroku looked questioningly at Arashi.

"I did nothing." He told him.

"She must not have the full power of hers back since I fought Naraku's spawn Hinosuke. She had cast the spell on Kagome." Arashi said.

"Well I don't care what happened I'll kill him! That bastard!" Kouga yelled and ran off toward InuYasha and Kagome, but with just a wave of his hand Arashi smashed Kouga into the ground.

"Oh, no I think not Kouga." Arashi said, "Your staying here, this is between them." He finished. Kouga struggled to get up but then just sat there with his face in the dirt and glared at Arashi...

"Kagome, please stop, let me explain." InuYasha pleaded.

"Oh I understand perfectly well InuYasha, you were going to kill Kouga, even after you told me you wouldn't." she said close to tears.

"Kagome you- you don't remember anything?" he asked her.

"Remember what InuYasha? The last thing I knew that happened is that you and I exchanged glances and you said you wouldn't fight Kouga." She sobbed.

"And then I realize that you have Tetsusaiga pointed at his throat." She said still sobbing.

"I-Kagome please let me explain." He pleaded.

"Fine InuYasha, explain. Explain to me why you were about to lie to me to end that stupid rivalry of yours." She sobbed again.

"Kagome i-it wasn't like that at all, what happened was, well yes I did say I would try not to fight him but he called you his as though you were property and so I raced for him to fight- I wasn't going to kill him I promise- and well I suddenly went unconscious and when I awoke I was in Naraku's castle and he told me you were with Kouga, a-and I couldn't believe it, I soon found myself out side on Arashi's back when I heard your name and a sudden rush of life entered me, it was a gold and white light and it was warm too. I ran here to find you and Kouga kissing and I - I got pissed, I'm sorry Kagome I failed you and lied, I understand if you never want to be near me again." He quickly said. She looked at him for a moment wondering if what he said was true, then by the look in his amber eyes realized that he really was telling the truth, that he was sorry and that she had betrayed him.

"No," she started and InuYasha's heart stopped, dreading the words she would say.

"I'm sorry InuYasha." She finished, and his face lit up with relief.

"So you forgive me then?" he asked.

"Of course I do, InuYasha do you forgive me?" she asked hopefully, thinking 'he was only trying to protect me and I was blaming him for all this, oh how could I?" she asked herself.

"Kagome," InuYasha started softly, "There is nothing that you need me to forgive you for, you were under a spell." He finished.

"But I blamed this all on you." She started and he cut her of,

"Sssh, let's go back to the others, and don't worry about it I'm fine Kagome, are you?" He asked.

"Uhn, uh yeah." She said. They walked back to find Kouga flattened on the ground unable to get up.

"Would you stop whatever the hell your doing! And get off me!" He was yelling at Arashi, who by the way seamed as apathetic as ever.

"Hey InuYasha." Shippo chimed. "Look how Arashi's pinned Kouga." He sang, and almost instantly InuYasha was laughing down at Kouga.

"What's wrong Kouga? Can't ya get up?" he sneered.

"InuYasha," Kagome started.

"Eh?" he said a little wary.

"Osuwari." She said simply, causing him to fall on his face. "Kouga why did you do all that stuff?" she asked him.

"Do all what stuff my love?" he asked causing Kagome to flush and InuYasha to turn red with anger.

"Look Kouga first thing I'm not your girl and second I don't belong to anyone." She said glaring at him.

"Oh, so your with dog breath over there?" he asked.

"Well erm, uhm I-." She started and InuYasha suddenly hit Kouga over the head silencing her.

"Would you shut up?" he yelled at Kouga, seeming a little vexed.

"Let him up Arashi." Kagome said. Kouga got up and Kagome slapped him.

"What business is it of yours who I'm with Kouga?" she asked.

"Well, Kagome I thought it was my business if I'm to take you from him." He said. "You will not take me from anyone Kouga!" she glared at him, making him laugh.

"We'll meet again mutt!" he yelled and disappeared in a tornado, leaving them.

They went off to see Kaede and she said she needed more bandages, asking Kagome to go get some. After a day Kagome was set to leave saying that she would be back in two days. She went down the well saying her goodbyes to the others. She got into her house and filled her bag with bandages, she then went and took a shower to clean herself of the dirt and grime in the feudal era. She went to bed that evening thinking of how InuYasha had fought Kouga despite her telling him 'osuwari' constantly. How he would stop at nothing to get her from him. 'Well he really can be the jealous can't he?' she said to herself. She fell asleep after that very thought... She awoke with a start, 'Oh just a bad dream.' She told herself before hearing InuYasha's voice.

"Are you OK? I hope I didn't scare you." He said running his hand along her face. "InuYasha. What are you doing here?" She asked a little alarmed.

"Well I- I wanted to see you." He replied.

"Oh I didn't think you would come at night while I'm sleeping." She pointed out,

"Yeah well I wanted to be alone with you." He told her, her eyes grew larger. "InuYasha! Where is this going?" She asked raising herself up off the bed.

"Huh, What do you mean?" he asked, getting up off of the bed quickly.

"I mean what is it you really want from me InuYasha? You are a guy after all." She told him.

"Huh, what's that got to do with wanting to be alone with you?" He asked seriously. 'So is he faking it or does he really have no intention of sleeping with me?' she asked herself, and as if on queue InuYasha jumped, "Oh! God! No Kagome I didn't mean for that! This is me you're talking to not Miroku!" he said as the light bulb turned on in his head. She chuckled a little wondered if Arashi had anything to do with that outburst but realized his ability probably can't work over a time rip.

"Oh, sorry InuYasha." She said blushing.

"Kagome is that what you wanted?" InuYasha asked.

"What? No of course not, InuYasha I wouldn't have asked you for that now, and besides we aren't officially together." She told him.

"What do you mean we're not together?" He asked.

"Well we aren't dating." She told him.

"What's that? Dating?" He asked.

"Well it's like being lovers only a little less extreme." She said.

"Well how do we do that?" He asked, blinking like he was confused 'Is he that naïve?' she asked herself.

"Well InuYasha why do you ask?" She asked.

"Well I wanna be like that with you." He told her blindly. She looked at him shocked. "Well InuYasha uhm, both people have to want to be together." She told him.

"So then you don't want to be with me?" he asked confused.

"What? No I never said or meant that InuYasha. You just haven't asked me yet." She told him.

"Damnit, my head hurts now. Well Kagome," He started, and she laughed a little, "-Huh what?" he asked.

"Oh InuYasha it's nothing, go on." She said still laughing.

"Well if all your gonna do is laugh at me then why should I?" he asked indignantly.

"Oh InuYasha I'm sorry I didn't mean to laugh it's just the way this is happening." She said. "Please go on." She finished.

"Well," InuYasha started, clearing his throat, "Kagome do you want to be with me?" he asked. 'Lord how could that have been so hard?' he asked himself.

"InuYasha, yes I would love to be with you." Kagome said glowing. 'He finally asked, he finally asked.' She yelled inside.

"Uhm, so that's it? We're together or whatever it is you call it?" he asked, making her laugh.

"Yes InuYasha we are, and stop glaring like that I'm not laughing at you I'm laughing at how you did it, now come here." She said patting the bed beside her. He sat down and she took his hand.

"Kagome, why did I have to ask like that? Why couldn't it have just been known between us?" he asked.

"Well for one InuYasha, doing it like this confirms it, so there's no confusion." She told him.

"What does it confirm?" He asked confused again.

"Oh InuYasha, it let's people know that I'm yours, and that you are mine. That we are together and won't be with other people." She said.

"Well wasn't that the way we were?" he asked.

"Well yeah but this way is how we do it here, in my time. Now should we go to bed?" she asked, yawning.

"Huh, oh yeah I guess we should. I'll sleep out in the sacred tree." He said

"NO! InuYasha no don't put yourself out like that, sleep in here, with me." She said and immediately regretted it.

"WHAT? Wouldn't that look wrong to your mom if she saw me in bed with you." He asked.

"Oh well you don't have to sleep in the covers or even in the bed if you don't want to. We do have a futon that you could sleep on." She told him.

"Oh well I don't really care." He said, she moved over in the bed and motioned for him to join her, he slid into bed next to her and facing away. She reached her arms around him and held him tight.

"Uhm, Kagome?" he started, but Kagome cut him off.

"Oh InuYasha don't get like that, I do like holding my boyfriend every now and then. So just deal, I know you're not so proud that you can't let me do that." She said.

"Uhm Kagome that's not what I was going to say, what is was going to say was that I think I should close your window, it's still open from when I came in, and I don't really mind you holding me, if you like to then go ahead." He said, got up and closed the window.

"Oh, sorry InuYasha." She said.

"It's OK Kagome." He said and rolled back into bed, letting her embrace him again, but this time he was facing her and his amber eyes blazed into hers, and he took her in his arms, kissed her deeply, and then held her.

"Good night, Kagome."

"Good night, InuYasha." They fall asleep in each other's arms...

"KAGOME!" Mrs. Higourashi's voice boomed. Kagome jumped at her mothers voice and realized that she had rolled over in her sleep, and that InuYasha's hand was on her breast. InuYasha got up as well, and when he saw where his hand was he removed it immediately mumbling an apology.

"Kagome! What do you think you are doing? A boy in you bedroom at night and not to mention his hand was on your breast!" Mrs. Higourashi yelled.

"Mom I'm sorry we weren't-"Kagome started but was cut off by InuYasha.

"Mrs. Higourashi, let me explain, I was here to spend time with Kagome and needed a place to sleep so I got in bed with her while she slept and she didn't know I was here." He said. Kagome looked at him stunned, as well as her mother.

"Kagome is this true?" Mrs. Higourashi asked.

"What? NO!" Kagome yelled.

"InuYasha is trying to get me out of trouble." She continued.

"Mrs. Higourashi I assure you that's what happened. I snuck in and took advantage of Kagome's being asleep, I climbed into bed with her." InuYasha said.

"And that just sounded really wrong and suggestive InuYasha." Arashi said from outside the window, causing everyone to jump.

"Who in the blazes is that?" Mrs. Higourashi asked.

"That would be Arashi" Kagome answered.

"Whatever." Mrs. Higourashi said and left the room.

"Why did you do that InuYasha?" Kagome asked him when her mother was out of earshot.

"I did it because it is my job to protect you, you are mine after all." InuYasha said.

"Oh so I was right. You two are together now." Arashi spoke in.

"Do you mind!" InuYasha yelled

"OK leaving." Arashi said and left.

"OK, but it's not like I'm in danger of my mother InuYasha." Kagome assured him. "OK, then can we just start the morning over, as if this had never happened, like go back to bed?" InuYasha yawned, and started toward the bed taking Kagome's hand. She followed him to the bed. Where he lay her down and held onto her. He stroked her dark hair for a while and then found himself asleep. While InuYasha was asleep Kagome found it impossible for her to resist his own hair and began to play with it falling asleep a little after InuYasha. She awoke later to him stroking her arm and softly crooning her name.

"Kagome, Kagome wake up sleepy." InuYasha said a few times and when she finally woke up he kissed her lightly and rose up off of the bed.

"Your mom came in to check on us." He told her.

"And, what did she do?" Kagome asked.

"Well she just looked at us and kind of smiled, though she was shaking her head." He told her.

"Oh I would have thought she would start yelling again." Kagome said. As InuYasha pulled her to her feet, she stumbled, and nearly fell but InuYasha caught her and pull her up.

"You OK?" He asked.

"Yeah I'm fine." she said getting up and looking into his eyes, he smiled.

"Come on let's go eat." She told him, he followed her into the kitchen and they found a few things and set them out to eat them, InuYasha was a little too excited about the food we eat these days.

"InuYasha calm down." She told him. "It's not like you haven't eaten before."

"Yeah but I have never had food from here, ooh what's this?" he asked.

"InuYasha put that down!" Kagome yelled at him causing him to jump.

"It's not right to pick up food and eat it before it's prepared and finished" she informed him.

"Oh OK." He said as he picked up an apple and started eating it.

"Oh InuYasha you're hopeless." She said laughing.
