0.13 - The story so far (end of Book One)

Story so far…

Higurashi Kagome can travel back and fourth time, from Modern Tokyo to the warring state era of Sengoku Jidai without a second thought. So, when one day she goes back home to spend some time with her family and away from the annoying dog-demon, Inuyasha -- she comes back to find another Inuyasha. This Inuyasha seems to have less of a temper and has manners (not to mention, wants to be more than just friends with her) he seems to good to be true at first, until she finds out that he is dying, and all because of her. Inuyasha of the future holds no begrudges against her, and even admits his true feelings for her.

She returns to Sengoku Jidai, and faces present Inuyasha. Her guilt bears too much and she snaps and avoids him most of the time, but that isn't the only reason why she's moody with the dog-demon. Inuyasha of the past finally wants to know what's wrong with the miko of the future, and tries to follow her, but Kouga has other ideas and stops Inuyasha from leaving Sengoku Jidai to retrieve her.

In the meantime, Kagome goes back through the well after experiencing a shared/bonded bad nightmare with future Inuyasha, only to find him waiting for her at the top of the well. From there, we learn that his nightmares are becoming more intense and even painful, and Kagome is now determined to help put things right, and stop Inuyasha from dying from a curse Kikyo put on him (350 years ago), which originally was meant for her.

With her mind made up, Kagome secretly plots how she can stop Inuyasha from meeting up with the soulless priestess. Meanwhile, after she spends the night with the hanyou of the future, she finds out something unexpected--It appears Inuyasha has invited her over to his own apartment to give her something, when she arrives she meets his roomie flat-mate, Kouga-kun! This comes to quite a shock to Kagome.

Inuyasha, in human form, returns home and finds Kagome (and Kouga) waiting for him. Kagome is surprised to see him in human form and Inuyasha tells her the secret of illusion to disguise himself during the day. After a long discussion and a round of flirting, Kouga finally gets a clue and leaves the lovebirds alone.

Kagome receives her gift - A heart-shaped Locket - which holds more power than the sacred jewel in her eyes, little does she know it's purpose is of a very powerful protective spell…

Inuyasha asks her not to open the locket until the time is right, and agreeing with his terms she accepts it and put the necklace on. After some more time spent with Inuyasha of the future, Kagome returns to the SunSet shrine to pack for her trip back to the past.

Meanwhile, Inuyasha (future) and Inuyasha (present) finally meet face-to-face, sparks fly and Inuyasha (future) ends up giving away a little to much information on his prophesied meeting with Kikyo. Inuyasha (present), however, allows his own jealousy to get the better of him and ends up leaving in a huff through the well and back to his own time.

While in the past and after yet another argument (over a certain dead-priestess), Inuyasha and Kagome take some time apart. Miroku and Inuyasha have a man-to-man talk, but Miroku only ends up making Inuyasha uncomfortable and irates the hanyou to no end.

In the meantime, Kagome gets sick and Sango rushes to her side to help comfort the teenage Miko.

Later that night, Kikyo turns up and summons Inuyasha to meet with her, while Kaede and Miroku exercise Kagome from a now new-found aura that has been slowly appearing around her over the last few months and since her last visit home.

The impending awaited "Life or death" finally takes place between Kikyo and Inuyasha. Kagome, after snapping out of her spell cast coma, follows Inuyasha.

She witnesses Inuyasha and Kikyo while they exchange words or in Inuyasha case, pleas. Kikyo however does not see it his way and takes him by force as Inuyasha finally makes his decision to stay with Kagome in the living world.

Kikyo's rage and hatred gets the better of her, as she lashes out at the hanyou, causing Kagome to make her move. A huge fight breaks out and Inuyasha ends up blinded by miko energy that Kikyo throws at him. Kagome rushes to the fallen hanyou's side only to be pushed out of the direct line of fire, once more sending the miko curse upon him - Only this time, (and not as prophesized by his older self) tetsusaiga takes the brunt of it, reflecting it back upon the soulless priestess ensuring her demise.

After Kagome's attempts to save Inuyasha from being cursed ends and fails, she breaks down with grief. Inuyasha, however, does not hold any resentment against her - Kikyo included.

Meanwhile, back in present day Tokyo, the other Inuyasha gets seriously hurt whilst protecting Shippo (who seems to have gotten mixed up with a corrupt tai-youkai family) from a rather dangerous and giant youkai.

Later, as the Inu-gumi settles for the evening, and while Inuyasha has thoughts and regrets about the way he handled Kikyo's promise to leave with her to hell, his thoughts get interrupted by the intrude of Kouga (future), who demands for Kagome to leave with him.

Kagome and Kouga arrive at the Goshinboku, finding a rather injured older looking hanyou, barely breathing under it. Kagome rushes to his side without hesitation as the rest of the Inu-gumi arrive to witness Kagome and another Inuyasha together.

Kagome asks her friends to understand, giving them no apparent reason why they were staring at another Inuyasha, Kouga and a very older looking Kitsune. Understandingly, they leave as she commanded along with the future wolf and Kitsune, leaving Kagome and both Inuyasha's alone.

Inuyasha of the present watches from a distance as Kagome and his future self speak quietly together. Inuyasha of the future asks Kagome to open the heart-shaped pendant, as she does, a funny feeling overwhelms her and inside she makes out a small photo of her and his younger self-together. He goes on to explain that the empty side is for a picture of their pups. Thus Kagome finds out she is pregnant.

Proving that life comes with death, Inuyasha passes away not long after. Kagome watches, as her mate dies in her arms and Inuyasha of present witnesses a breaking heart of Kagome as his other self passes over.

The after affects of Inuyasha's death finally hit both groups and final goodbyes leave a surprising truth as Inuyasha finally releases Kagome is very much so pregnant with his future selfs' pups. Upon making the discovery, the hanyou finally makes a decision and is prepared to take Kagome and the pups on as his sole responsibility.

Working up the courage, the hanyou asks Kagome to be his mate - things take a turn for the worst as Kagome refuses him and calls him selfish for asking her so soon after her own mates death. Kagome runs away from Inuyasha only to be captured by Naraku shortly afterwards.

Meanwhile, Inuyasha is at a loss and asks the Kitsune to follow Kagome into the forest. After sometime the cub rushes back to the village upon smelling the foul smell of Naraku not far from Kagome's own scent.

Inuyasha is unaware of Naraku's presence and finds out about his lack of scent, due to altering his aura after Kagome's return from her time at home for a month.

Walking into a trap, Inuyasha finds himself rapt in a three-way struggle. It appears Kagome has joined Naraku and attacks him with her arrows - injuring him heavily while Naraku watches from the sidelines.

Without the aid of his nose, Inuyasha is finding it harder to fight against the tainted hanyou and miko priestess' arrows. However, he springs back into action when Naraku threatens Kagome and his pups! With all his left over strength, Inuyasha fights against Naraku and takes him down with one final slash with Tetsusaiga.

Kagome is hurt in the process and gets hit by the intense force from Narakus' demise. However, Inuyasha rushes to her side, catching her before she is blown off her feet.

For the first time, Inuyasha finally gets to hold Kagome and his pups.

--

A week passes and Kagome has yet to awaken from the blast. This causes a behaviour change in the hanyou, who has become unbearably protective and possessive of the injured miko and even attacks Miroku as a warning.

This provokes an unsettled atmosphere between the gumi, but soon rekindles as more reasons behind the hanyou's behaviour becomes apparent. It seems Inuyasha of the future felt it worthy for his friends to know of Kagome's pregnancy and his seemingly aggressive behaviour toward any of them.

Kagome finally awakens to find an over baring and protective hanyou at her side, never leaving her for a moments rest. Finally, things progress from there and Inuyasha gains the courage to talk Kagome into staying with him as his mate.

But, things don't always turn his way - Kagome has some recurring problems regarding the earlier tampering (by Kaede and Miroku) of the spell Inuyasha's future self put her under, in order for her protection and the subtle disabled scent usage concerning his younger counter-part.

With some encouragements from his recently deceased self, Inuyasha finally tells Kagome his feelings after she leaves to think through her own future.

Finally, Miroku and Kaede find the last of the remnants of the spell they corrupted, and destroys it within a sealing fire, thus breaking Kagomes' spell.

Kagome and Inuyasha are now free to come together as one and finally mate.

Now that things have settled down, and Kagome and Inuyasha have semi-completed mating - and thanks to Sesshoumaru showing up, to explain what occurred between the pair after they came together to clarify they joined as demons would when taking a life-mate.

Inuyasha and Kagome have now severed ties to their past - allowing their new mate sole meaning in their hearts. All that is left is to join in a dog-demon blood bonding ritual…

But, Inuyasha only accepts Kagome-while she is pregnant, as his responsibility and refuses to continue with their blood joining that would make them official mates and certify them by dog-demon standards and traditions (With Sesshoumaru's consent).

This brings us to an end as Inuyasha learns a valuable lesson in - Trust

-- Epilogue

In the meantime, Book Two starts with Inuyasha and Kagome having yet more problems to sort through before they can finally live happily and peacefully… what with the new threat of Kouga and now a terrible argument spurring between the pair of newly mated.

Inuyasha not only has to come to terms with Kagome's hurtful words, Kouga's demands, two new additions to his pack, but a possible cure too!

Will this hanyou survive long enough to see a cure? or will a pregnant mate and a rabid wolf-demon send him to an early grave?!

-- Preview of the next chapter of "Untold Secrets"

Book Two: 0.14a - Kagome is mine! : Part One

Daybreak covered the highest peak of the mountaintop, and over looking the sleepy village amongst the forest of Inuyasha. A silhouette of a demon, hung amongst shadows, as his bright blue eyes caught the sunset's light, they flashed with predatory dominance. His clawed hand fisted into his palm as he watched over the domain that she called home.

Home? He was glad to be back, and felt liberated and stronger than ever. His fanged smile shone with a gleam as the setting suns rays glistened overhead.

"It's great to be back!" He sighed contently and took a refreshing deep breath, hoping to catch the scent of the one woman he liked to call mate. His eyes widened with horror.

"Bastard, that fucking dog is dead!" He howled into the night, before taking off into a whirlwind-like rush.
