Chapter 3

Previously…

“Inuyasha, be careful…” Midoriko whispered as she disappeared. The barrier around Kagome dissolved, only to become a new one. The barrier was bright blue, with spiritual power. He smiled, knowing that Kagome had heard him. Inuyasha ran towards Kagome, ready to protect her by all means necessary. He could see Naraku follow him at top speed. He was trying to get to Kagome first. Inuyasha winced in pain, but he had to protect Kagome. He saw one of Naraku's tentacle's shoot out towards her.

“KAGOMEEEEEEEEEEEE”

**********

 

Inuyasha leaped out in front of Kagome, only to realize that he was within a barrier. He fell with a `thud' on the ground. He tried to get up, but failed to do so. He turned his head around and saw Kagome on her knees, trying her hardest to keep the barrier up.

“Ka…Kagome. Are you ok?” Inuyasha looked at Kagome with worry in his eyes. Kagome's face was covered in a sheen of sweat. Kagome turned around to look at Inuyasha. She smiled gently

“Don't…don't worry. This time, I will protect you. You have protected me so many times, and now is my chance to protect you. Now stay back, and let me handle this. I got myself into this mess, now I have to get out of it myself …”

Inuyasha looked at Kagome in awe. He had never seen her so determined. She almost reminded him of himself, when they were at his fathers grave

 

Is this just a dream

If it is, please don't wake me form this high

I've become comfortable numb

Until you opened up my eyes

To what it like, when everything right

I can't believe

Flashback

“Would you just shut up and let me protect you?”

End flashback

 

He looked at Kagome.

“No” he said sternly.

“What?” Kagome asked, confused and unaware of what he meant

“I said no. I am supposed to protect you, not the other way around. My mother died trying to protect me, I could have done something, but I didn't. I will not let another person that I love be killed because they were trying to protect me. Now, get back Kagome. This battle is between me and Naraku.”

Kagome looked at Inuyasha. Did he just say `love' or was it her imagination and her heart making her hear what she wanted to hear?

 

You found me when no-one else was looking

How did you know just where I would be

Yah you broke through all my confusion

The ups and the downs and you still didn't leave

I guess that you saw what no one could see

You found me, you found me

 

“Well well well. Looks like Inuyasha came out of the closet. I see you have confessed your true feeling about Kagome. I wonder how Kikyo would feel if she heard you. Speaking of her...” Naraku turned around and nodded his head. Kikyo emerged from the trees. Kagome looked in fear, for she knew that Kikyo to this day, still held a grudge against her. Inuyasha rose to his feet.

“Kikyo... what are you doing here? I thought…” Inuyasha looked at her for a while, then looked at Kagome. Her eyes were glazed over in fear. He knew Naraku was up to something, or else he would have not gone to all the trouble of bringing Kikyo here. Inuyasha looked at Kikyo. Why had he not realized that she was here?

“Because you were concerned about the one you love. You were concerned about Kagome”

Inuyasha's eyes widened. His human self was trying to overtake the demon side inside of him

 

So here we are, and that pretty far

When you think of where we've been

No going back, I'm fading out all that has faded me within

you're by my side now everything's fine

I can't believe

 

“You ignored Kikyo's scent because you were to concerned about Kagome. Your feeling for Kagome overpowered all else.

“Feelings…?”

“Yes. You, well we have fallen in love with Kagome. She accepted you for who you are. She never left your side, and she always looked after you. We have grown fond of her. And you love for her has overpowered your infatuation of Kikyo.”

“Mate. Kagome. Want Kagome as mate.”

Inuyasha heard his demon side talking to him. But the demon was not trying to overpower him, just lending its strength. His demon side recognized Kagome as his mate, and was trying to protect her. Inuyasha grinned evilly as a surge of power swept through his body. Naraku looked at Inuyasha with a questioning look. He studied Inuyasha's aura. It was full of demonic power, but Inuyasha looked unaffected by it. Naraku saw Kagome behind Inuyasha, still trying to keep the barrier up. Suddenly Inuyasha's aura mixed with Kagome's aura.

 

You found me when no-one else was looking

“In…Ka…” Miroku looked amazed at what he saw. Inuyasha and Kagome's auras were becoming one.

“Sango, do you see that?” Miroku asked Sango

Sango looked at Miroku.

“No, but I can sense a strong aura. Wait, what's going on? Miroku, what do you see?”

“Both Inuyasha's demon and human side recognize Kagome as this mate. But I have never seen a time when two people auras have mixed before they have mated, unless… Shippo, does Kagome smell different?”

Shippo ran over and looked at Miroku with a questioning look. He sniffed the air

“Nope. She smells the same. Why?”

Miroku looked at Shippo in amazement. He could feel his face demanding to break out into a smile. He looked towards Sango. She knew exactly what was going on, but she wondered if Inuyasha and Kagome knew what was going on.

 

And I was hiding till you came along, and showed me where I belong

You found me when no one else was looking

How did you know, How did you know?

 

“Kikyo. What are you doing here?” Kagome had finally gained enough courage to speak.

“What do you mean?” Kikyo looked Kagome squarely in the eye

“Why are you here? Why are you working with Naraku? Wasn't he the one who got between you and Inuyasha?”

Kikyo graced her lips with the faintest smile

“Oh, but how you are mistaken. You, my reincarnation, you are what is getting between me and Inuyasha, and that is the reason I am here. To dispose of you…”

 

You found me when no-one else was looking

Kagome felt the whole world around her stop. She was in the way. But Inuyasha didn't even love her, or did he? She saw a red blur step in front of her. She looked at the back of Inuyasha's head. `But I love him…'

“Kagome…stay away from here. Go back to your own time. I will get you when it's over. Please, just go.” Inuyasha said with demand

“No. I will not back down. Inuyasha I can't leave y...”

Inuyasha turned around. He scooped Kagome into his arms. He kissed her with gentle fierceness. Kagome could feel a fire burning deep inside of her. She embraced the feeling, kissing him back. He broke the kiss, deeply breathing in her scent.

“In... Inuyasha. Why did you do that?”

“Because Kagome. You stood my at all time. Your family makes me feel like their son that they never had. And most importantly, you made me feel like someone. Like I was important. You loved me for who I am. No one, other than my mother has loved me that way, not even Kikyo. And that is why I chose you. I chose the one I love. And that is you. Kagome…”

Kagome could feel tears forming in her eyes, she felt like she was on cloud nine. She looked deep into Inuyasha's eyes, embracing the warmness nestled within them. She had waited to hear those words since day one, and now she heard them. She let her tears roll down her cheeks. She closed her eyes, them opening to assure herself that this was not a dream. She felt a hand stroke her cheek, ridding her flawless face from the wet beads that dared to venture down. She looked up and saw Inuyasha, looking down at her, worry evident in his golden orbs.

“Don't cry wench…just don't.”

Kagome swallowed a lump that had formed in her throat. She shook her head slightly.

“I'm sorry, honestly I am… I couldn't help my self I was just so, so happ…”

“You talk to much. Now, go home. Go down the well where you will be safe. I will come to get you after I ki…”

“No.”

“WHAT???”

Kagome smirked at his sudden outburst

“I said no. I said it before and I will say it again. I am going to stay by your side. Now, do you have anything to say..”

“You'd bet your little ass I have something to say. I am not going to allow you to fight this little fuck-head and have you get your ass into trou…”

Kagome rocked onto her tip-toes, placing a fiery, needy kiss onto his lips to silence him and his antics. She felt his hands slither around her hips. She finally released him, looking him square in the face.

“F…Fine. You can stay. But don't blame me when you get your ass into trouble.”

She smiled in accomplishment

“And a cute ass at that…” Inuyasha mumbled. Kagome cocked her head to the side

“What did you say?”

Inuyasha smirked

“Nothing”

“Umm. Not that I am disappointed that you two finally admitted your true feelings about each other, even though we could have done without the whole kissing, but if you don't mind, can we get on with the ballet? And Kagome, it would be best if you let the barrier down. Thanks.”

Inuyasha and Kagome looked at Sango as she said that. They each blushed from ear to ear.

“Hey. I've never seen that shade of red before...”Shippo stated innocently. Miroku smiled from ear to ear

“Indeed Shippo. This shade is reserved especially for Inuyasha and Kagome.” Miroku said with confidence in his voice.

“Monk, you are lucky we need you right not `cause if we didn't…”Inuyasha said, not daring to finish the sentence. Miroku sighed in relief.

“Um…Inuyasha?” Kagome said

“Yah?”

“I think Naraku is mad that we have ignored him so long.” She stated innocently. Inuyasha turned around. Beyond the barrier Kagome created he could see Naraku, eyes full of rage. Inuyasha smirked. He looked at Kagome and the others.

“Caromed. Let down the barrier. Its time to give Naraku what he has been asking for.”

He turned to face Naraku and Kikyo. For some odd reason, he did not care if Kikyo died. Actually this time he rather that she died because he feared for Kagome's life.

Kikyo looked at Inuyasha, with Kagome at his side. She felt a pang of jealousy. They're friend were behind them prepared to battle. She saw Kagome let the barrier down.

Inuyasha let out a battle cry, howling into the night, notifying all creatures in the four corners that the battle had begun. Inuyasha started to transform, but at his own will.

Naraku's eyes widened.

“Battle began already. Time to fight me bastard.” Inuyasha said. Kagome came to his side, archery set ready.

In the blink of an eye, blows were being exchanged. Inuyasha ran straight towards Naraku. He got there with incredible speed,, holding his sword to his neck

“Time to die, bastard…”
