0.4 - I put a spell on you!
**Story re-cap**
After their night of heated passion, Inuyasha (future) and Kagome arrange to meet at his apartment. Upon her arrival, she encounters Inuyasha's roommate, Kouga, the unexpected roomie!
Meanwhile, Inuyasha (future) and Inuyasha (past) finally meet face-to-face, sparks fly and Inuyasha (future) ends up giving away a little to much information. Inuyasha (past), however, allows his own jealousy to get the better of him and ends up leaving in a huff, unable to believe what he witnessed between Kagome and his future self.
**Continuation**
-- last time…
Modern Tokyo
He clenched his fists, and followed his other self walking up to the shinboku with a smug smile written all over his face.
ASSHOLE! FUCKING SONOFABITCH!
"You just called yourself a heck of a lot of bad names! Shit, no self-respect!" The older hanyou shook his head, sarcastically eyeing the fuming demi-demon. "Come down, Inuyasha,"
Shit, he sounds like Sesshoumaru!
"Fuck, I hope not!" came the reply.
"Will YOU stop FUCKING answering MY damn thoughts, YOU Bastard!" Inuyasha finally growled, landing in front of the older looking hanyou.
"Don't touch Kagome again, or I will kill you!" Inuyasha stood with narrowed eyes, clenched fists and burning cheeks.
The older hanyou held back a small chuckle and raised a clawed hand over his forehead. "Just, remember what I said about Kagome, and I promise, I won't be bothering you for very much longer"
With that, he shook his head and smiled. Shit, my jealously is scary!
Inuyasha growled under his breath as he turned to return to the past, grumbling under his breath as he disappeared into the well.
-- begin a new…
Sengoku Jidai
To live is to die…and to die is to live…
The wind blew around her robes, red and white clashing with black-raven hair. Shinidamachuu flew around her motionless body, carrying orbs of glowing freshly stolen souls. One after another, the soul catching demons allowed there pray leave to enter the cold limp body below them, circling, chanting for their mistress to open her eyes once more.
'I am Kikyo, a priestess associated with all things holy.
No.
I am a priestess in name only. I am one of the dead, wandering this earth in an artificial vessel. I do what I can to help the people I meet, and I use the souls of their dead to keep going.
That is my existence...
Upon hearing the Shini-dama-chuu whisper their chanting, the undead priestess opened her eyes, slowly bringing her hand up to allow a fellow soul-snatcher to perch upon it. Wordlessly, she commanded the creature to seek out the half-breed, Inuyasha.
Her time grew shorter.
--
The air was clear and the sun shone brightly, allowing the small gumi a pleasant lunching rest. The breeze blew caressingly across a raven-haired girl as she sat in silence under a tree.
That silence was broken with the muttering and growling of one PO-ed Inu-hanyou.
"Keh!" Inuyasha growled under his breath for the umpteenth time that day, making his mood clear.
Kagome looked up from her silent daydream and glared at the huffy dog-demon. "What is your problem Inuyasha? You've been grinding and growling for the last hour!"
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and glared back down at her. "As if YOU care!" he spat, not caring how he sounded.
"Look Inuyasha!" she started, yanking herself up off the ground, hands on hips and matching his glare, "I'm in no mood for this right now!" She continued in a sarcastic tone. "So, do enlighten us with what's on your mind…"
Miroku, Sango and Shippo looked up from their food, all waiting and watching the familiar scenario. It had been like this for the last month, ever since Kagome came back from her three week vacation back in her own time. Inuyasha would usually start the little misunderstanding, thus provoking Kagome into a full-blown argument.
A gust of wind passed the gumi by, silence slipping their way once more.
"Keh!" The infamous hanyou's reply echoed from above.
Kagome was now impatiently grinding her own teeth, her foot tapped hard against the floor as she clenched her fists. "Inuyasha! I swear I'll say it, if you don't tell me right now, what the hell is your problem?!"
The demi-demon leaped down from his perch to loom over her, his eyes narrowed and the scowl on his face lay deep enough to leave wrinkles. "Like I said, as if YOU care!"
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Kagome was taken aback at his tone and demeanour.
Inuyasha took a step forward and burned his narrowed eyes in to hers. "You tell me…"
"Nani?!" She blinked, her own eyes blazing in to his amber orbs. "I don't understand?"
"Feh! Don't play all innocent with me Kagome!" He crossed his arms over his chest and flew his nose up high, eyes firmly closing. "If anyone has the problem around here, its YOU!" He finished, opening one eye to watch her reaction.
The raven-haired miko stood in silence before narrowing her eyes. "What did you say?!"
"You heard me, bitch!" Inuyasha was in her face once more, his own eyes narrowed as he regarded her. "You fuck off without even saying a word to me! Leaving Sango to guard the well, like some fucking body-double, and you expect me to be all damn fine about the whole thing?!"
"Oh… so this is what it's all about, ne?" She matched his (Pointless) argument.
"Keh! Urasi!" Inuyasha glared at Kagome, his anger renewed. "There won't be a next time! You're not to leave here unless I say so!"
They both stood nose-to-nose glaring at the other, when Inuyasha moved forward, causing Kagome to back up. "Got it!?!" His growl rumbled in his chest making his point clear and end of.
Kagome could feel her throat tighten, and chest heave as she continued to out stare the fuming hanyou in front of her. Inuyasha was acting like a jerk, bigger than usual! Now he was telling her she couldn't go back home! Like he would stop me… she thought.
"Feh, stupid wench," Inuyasha finally gave in, sensing her discomfort and spark of panic. He grinned inwardly, That stupid asshole, she's staying here with me from now on!
Miroku and Sango exchanged knowing looks, as Shippo laid a heavy sigh. She hardly sits him anymore… idly continuing on with his food, finding the whole scene boring.
Unseen, it was then the Shinidamachuu appeared behind the group of companions.
--
Kagome remembered arguing with Inuyasha, and feeling a pain twist in her chest. At first, she thought she was hyperventilating from the vein that was about ready to burst from the top of her head, while Inuyasha continued to lay-on the `rules.' Next thing she knew, she was crouching over a bush and groaning, rubbing the throbbing ache in her head. Sango was by her side, holding her hair from her face, freeing it from her neck and shoulders.
She moaned, feeling her stomach churn once again, head instantly started to pound at her temples as the beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.
She felt herself retch and relieve the rest of her food.
"Kagome-chan, is there anything bothering you?" The older girl beside her asked with concern, while rubbing the miko's back with her free hand.
"Iie…" Kagome groaned, wiping away the beads of sweat from her forehead.
"You've been throwing up a lot lately…" Sango started, helping Kagome sit up straight. "Are you OK?"
"Hai, Sango-chan," She nodded, giving her a small smile.
The demon hunter wasn't convinced.
"Kagome-chan, please tell me," Sango looked up into the young girls eyes, her voice lowering with sisterly concern. "I… I would like to think you could trust me enough to confide in."
Kagome sat in silence at first, as if contemplating something, before bursting in to floods of tears and falling into the waiting arms of the older female.
--
Inuyasha sat perched in the god-tree; a familiar scorn lay heavy upon his features as he sat in thought.
He was hung up about his future self. He couldn't get rid of the thoughts tuning his minds-eye. He sighed and thought back to his encounter with the other hanyou…
**flashback**
"Who the fuck are you?" Inuyasha flinched, his hand gripping at his sword.
"Somehow, I think you already know that answer," Came the reply from the Inu-hanyou that stood in front of him, an arrogant smirk plastered all over his face.
Inuyasha wanted to wipe that smile right off. The other hanyou then moved around him, making it harder to see exactly what he was doing.
"Don't even fucking think of it!" Inuyasha backed up, finding the hilt of Tetsusaiga once more.
"I don't intend to attack myself, you fucking idiot!"
"Keh!" Inuyasha snorted, "Shut up!"
He watched the mirror image of himself roll his eyes and sigh.
"Listen, ass!" he hissed, picking Inuyasha up by the throat. "I'm only going to say this once, so fucking shut your mouth!"
Inuyasha gritted his teeth together and held onto the other hanyou as he was flung back into the wall of the shrine.
He looked down at himself with wide eyes.
Shit, he's fucking strong! Inuyasha inwardly awed.
"A week from now, you're going to meet with Kikyo… again," the older hanyou drew him closer. "It won't be easy, but you will make a choice… but, whatever you do! Whatever you decide, please don't let Kagome get hurt!"
Inuyasha's eyes widened, "Nani?"
"You fucking heard me! I said, don't let Kagome get hurt! Protect her with your life if you have to, just don't let her die!"
The other hanyou let go of his throat, dropping him to the floor. He walked away, throwing over his shoulder that Inuyasha should go back home, and that he was the one who protected Kagome in this time!
**end flashback**
Inuyasha growled, the aching anger he felt just thinking about that last statement. That bastard was working over time on his territory, and he didn't give a shit if it was himself! No body touches his Kagome!!
Miroku was smirking as he watched the thoughtful hanyou, he grimaced a moment, but then turned to call for the outwardly seething Inu-demon.
"Ne, Inuyasha? Come down here and tell me what happened back there."
Inuyasha keh-ed and looked down and glare at the nosey houshi. "As if I'd tell you, bouzo!" he growled finally, and with another inward sigh he took a step and then leapt, landing in front of the smirking monk.
He narrowed his eyes before parking his behind firmly upon the ground, arms crossing over his chest as he did so.
"So, you decided to join me down here," Miroku started, giving Inuyasha yet another `Cheshire cat' grin. "I'm glad-"
Inuyasha almost growled, "Cut the crap, hentai!"
Miroku bit back his snort and shook his head. The Inu-youkai had little or no patience, and not to mention a foul mouth.
Same old, same old… He sighed, "Gomen, Inuyasha"
Inuyasha was apparently tapping his fingers/claws impatiently, and Miroku sat in silence a while longer before finally asking the hanyou what had started the argument between he and Kagome-sama.
Inuyasha flinched slightly, stiffening at the question. He wasn't about to tell Miroku the reason behind the argument, nor was he going to reveal meeting his future self.
"Feh, that stupid wench! She was asking for a fucking maiming leaving like that, and without telling me!"
"Aa. Now I understand-" He smiled at Inuyasha, "you were setting your authority!"
Inuyasha glared at Miroku, before narrowing his eyes. "Damn fucking straight!"
"Then, mind explaining why you're still angry?" Miroku added, with a wicked grin clouding his features. "Or… are you still suffering from excess sexual tension-"
Inuyasha face faulted. "N-Nani?" He stuttered, trying to stay calm, he then smoothed the tension from his face and drew his fisted hand upon the houshi's head.
"You fucking hentai monk!"
With that, Inuyasha growled under his breath and took to the tree's once more. Miroku, however, nodded consciously as he rubbed his head.
It was worth the injury to see the look upon the hanyou's face.
--
Later that evening, Miroku and Inuyasha had returned to the village and where now, waiting patiently, for the two females to return from the woods. Miroku was smirking once more, keeping an eye on the hanyou across the room. Inuyasha was giving the monk a long hard glare, rumbles of smothered growls passed his mouth as he did so.
Miroku's smile widened.
Standing up, Inuyasha looked down at the monk and made haste to the door of the hut, pulling it away with a yank and jumping a top of the roof. Miroku heard the thump and then another growl and chuckled to himself.
Kaede entered from the other room and looked at the monk questionably. "Hoshi-dono, why did Inuyasha leave so abruptly?"
"It seems our dog-demon has a personal dilemma." Came the monks reply, trying to keep a straight face as best he could.
The older miko raised her eyebrows and took a kneeling seat in front of the amused houshi. "Hai, we have a problem to discuss also…"
Miroku's attention turned to Kaede, who was pointing toward the two silhouettes headed toward the hut's doorway. He raised his own eyebrow and nodded with understanding.
"Are you sure you're alright, Kagome-chan? You still look a bit pale." Sango asked the younger girl as they entered the village.
Kagome nodded and gave Sango a confident smile. "Arigatou, Sango-chan, I feel better now."
As both females neared Kaede's hut they noticed Inuyasha sprawled out on top of the roof and Miroku smiling as he leaned against the doorway. Sango sighed, and looked down at the quiet girl beside her.
Poor Kagome-chan…
The group sat in silence while they all ate a late dinner, with the exception of the Kitsune and Kirara, who both kept themselves amused with a few toys Kagome had brought back from her time.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha was still brooding a top of the hut. He sighed and watched the sky from where he lay, his hands snugly pillowing his head and his legs comfortably crossed. He was just beginning to relax, the soothing scent of Kagome now dormant his senses, when a cold chill passed him by.
He jolted himself upright when he felt her presence.
Kikyo…
The roof above creaked with movement, gaining the attention of the humans inside the hut. There was an almost silent thud, and a long trail of curses coming from out side when they moved to see what had alerted the hanyou so quickly.
Inuyasha inwardly cringed, why now? His last meeting with the undead miko didn't go as planned, and he had ended up snapping at her.
**Flashback**
Inuyasha had been making his way back to the old miko's hut when a snapping twig caught his attention. He twisted around to come face-to-face with Kikyo.
"Kikyo?"
The pale priestess stood a ways from him, her cold-stare firmly set upon the hanyou's eyes. "Inuyasha, time is growing short…" Her voice hauntingly whispered, though, no emotion seemed apparent.
Was she sad? Was she happy? He couldn't tell-she wasn't giving away any signs of sentiment.
He moved closer as she turned to leave, descending deeper into the darkness and woods. She stopped as far as the huge god-tree, the place where she had sealed him so long ago, his only refuge.
"Have you made a choice?" She asked, not even turning to look him in the eye.
Inuyasha swallowed sharply, and closed his eyes, bowing his head.
"Iie, I have not." His voice was distant with undetermined sorrow.
It was the truth; he had not made any move to pick between life and death. Nor was he prepared to be forced into making a choice between her and Kagome. But, Kikyo had been persistent and demanding.
She turned to face him, her cold hands moved to his face, as she looked up into his golden orbs. "Why must you make this harder?" She whispered, leaning up against his chest.
Inuyasha shivered slightly, his body never moving as she pressed up against him.
"I cannot leave this earth knowing Naraku is still alive," he replied, hoping she would not ask again and understand his retribution.
"Time is not on our side, you must come with me now!" She pulled back, gripping at his shoulders as the winds blew dangerously around them, red flames appeared before them and Inuyasha found himself being pulled down into the earth below him.
"Kikyo! Stop this!" He pleaded, only to be met by her sorrowful, lonely gaze. He gulped, hating that look--always had--always would.
"Kikyo…" He closed his eyes, and pushed away with all his strength, before leaping out of the hell bound doom.
"Forgive me…"
The miko looked up, wide-eyed. "Inuyasha?!"
"Kikyo, I cannot… will not leave with you!" Inuyasha retorted, fisting his hands into his palms. "Do not get in my way! Do you understand? I will not rest until Naraku is DEAD!"
With that, he leaped out of the clearing, leaving the unemotional priestess to her dark thoughts…
**end flashback**
The Shinidamachuu flew around the hanyou, circling him in an almost chain-like fashion. Kagome watched from the hut as did her fellow companions. Shippo hopped onto her shoulder and gripped at her head and soft hair. He was shaking.
Kagome felt queasy once more. This can't be it? This isn't the right time! It has to happen after Naraku is dead!
The night air surrounded him, and he felt the twitch of her presence once more. He searched out the forest with his eyes and nose, determining where she waited for him. He closed his eyes and drew back a sigh, and looked over his shoulder toward the hut.
Kagome's eyes were upon him and he knew she was watching. He silently cursed, berating himself over this situation he had unwillingly involved her in.
It went silent once more, the only sounds were that of Shippo's chattering teeth and the night-time crickets chirping within the forest.
Miroku's eyes made contact with Sango's, before both moved together to focus upon their younger companion. Instantly, they both felt the pain that was now stricken in her eyes.
Kaede moved from the hut and was now out side along with the hanyou. She neared him and pressed a shaky hand upon his shoulder, squeezing it as she spoke. "Inuyasha, be careful. I sense great anger coming from Kikyo-onee-sama."
The hanyou nodded and wordlessly left toward the undead priestess. Kagome, as if snapping out of her paralysing shock, gasped and ran out after the hanyou.
"Inuyasha!"
Kaede stood in front of the younger miko, a stern look spread across her scared features. "Tis time, come with me…"
Kagome looked at Kaede, confusion set upon her face, before lifting a worried glance toward the forest.
Inuyasha, please stay safe…
--
Sango gripped Shippo and Kirara to her chest, all the while watching in amazement. Miroku and Kaede were situated either side of Kagome, both engrossed in prayer and chanting in rhythm.
Kagome was floating above the ground slightly, her eyes were glazed over and her whole aura shone brightly. Sango recoiled away when Kagome's aura suddenly grew with brightness, now she was submerged in creamy white and a small shimmer of red.
The white light seemed to be her own aura, that of her miko powers and pureness. The red aura, however, seemed to surround the girl, somewhat protectively. Sango's eyes widened when Miroku and Kaede's eyes shot open in unison.
The red light tweaked and surged, glowing brightly, circling Kagome and taking her aura into its own. Kagome gasped as she was lifted higher into the air, her aura now pulsating along with the reddish twinge.
Miroku looked passed Kagome, making eye contact with the older miko. Suddenly, with a crack, Kagome's aura attacked the two holy auras of that of Miroku and Kaede.
They were both flung to the ground a ways from Kagome. Wide-eyed and in awe, Miroku, Sango, Kaede and both small youkai watched as Kagome's miko aura erupted with great strength, merging perfectly with in that of the mysterious red glowing aura.
Where as Kagome's aura was bright, healthy and pure. The red aura was dominant around her, both working in sync with her, seemingly, submissive miko light. Its strength was amazing, it wrapped her being, twisting and winding around her, holding it closer to it.
Another beam of blinding, raging wave smashed through the holy auras that now shattered into pieces. The light was so bright all eyes closed in attempts to drown the glowing aura, as the heat and light died away, there in its place appeared the owner of the spell.
Miroku was the first to break the shocked filled silence.
"Inuyasha?"

Next chapter: 0.5- Your Fate or Mine?
The impending awaited answer "Life or death" finally takes place between Kikyo and Inuyasha. Kagome, after snapping out of her spell cast coma, follows Inuyasha, but will she be able to change the past and stop Inuyasha from being cursed? Or will fate work its magic and change history completely? After all, fate has decided to conclude Inuyasha's fate sooner than what had been prophesied, thus Inuyasha of the future's past is changing rapidly.
