Chapter Two: Hearts Desire Last Time: Inuyasha stopped running and slid to a stop, up a head of them was a barrier. ~*~

Kagome looked at Inuyasha and then the barrier, a small girl dressed in a black kimono with silver designs on it walked over to them. "Hello my name is Kaikigesshoku (Means Total Eclipse of the Moon) what is yours?" Kagome stood in front of Inuyasha as the rest of the group caught up with them; Kagome was hoping that Inuyasha would not make a bad first impression. "My name is Kagome, this is Inuyasha." "Keh!" Miroku and Sango walked over with Shippo on Miroku's shoulder and Kirara on Sango's. "My name is Sango, this is Kirara. Beside me is Miroku and Shippo" She said with a smile as Kaikigesshoku bowed to each of them.

Inuyasha thought while the introductions were made. "Nay, Inuyasha you can not cut down this barrier. You see I am its guardian, you may pass this barrier freely of course." She smiled at Inuyasha's shocked look. "I do not pry in others minds if that is what you are thinking, but you were thinking of the barrier so I had to know. Now this barrier is very special, for it grants your hearts deepest desire." Each member of the group stared in disbelief and in shock, here was the most wonderful offer that could ever be given to them, yet it was also the worst.

Kaikigesshoku looked from one face to another with her deep violet eyes, waiting for them to ask the questions burning inside of them. She reached back and brushed a strand of pale violet blue hair away from her eyes. "It is okay to ask questions about the barrier." She said softly, mostly looking at Kagome as she spoke. Then she looked to Sango and Miroku as her words hung in the air. "What if your hearts desire conflicts with other persons?"

Kaikigesshoku smiled at Kagome, "Do not worry when you cross through, I know not exactly how it works. I myself have not crossed the barrier as I am yet unready to find out what my deepest desire is." Kagome nodded and looked downwards, ~ Fear not if he does not feel the same. You may feel confused now and may think you know what your heart desires but only the barrier knows what it really wants. Keep this in mind he does really care for you. ~ Kagome looked up and found Kaikigesshoku smiling at her.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome out of the corner of his eye trying to figure out the meaning of her question. ~ She does care deeply for you; she just fears that you still care for your past love more than you do for her. Let the barrier give you the answer you are so carefully seeking. ~ Kaikigesshoku turned to Sango and Miroku still smiling, "have either of you any questions?" Sango nodded, "can it bring my family back to life if, that is what my heart wishes?" Kaikigesshoku frowned, "I am sorry, no it would however give you a few moments to speak with them so that you can rest your heart with ease and know that they rest in peace." ~ I am sure it will cause Naraku to loose his hold on your brother, and he can finally rest in peace. ~ Sango nodded, and looked a bit better.

Miroku looked down at his hand as Kaikigesshoku spoke with Sango in her mind. ~ I am sure it can heal your hand but I think your desire is something other than your hand. Perhaps Lady Sango... ~ Shippo jumped up and down, then ran over to Kaikigesshoku and whispered in her ear. A smile spread across her face as she spoke with him like she did the others. ~ If you truly believe that is your hearts desire then yes it will happen. ~ "Just cross when you are ready, and do not fear if you don't see the others when you cross the barrier. They are still with you and will most likely be waiting for you to come out."

The group looked at the barrier and agreed to go through it the next morning, when they were rested and had clear minds. Kagome and Sango spent the day talking with Kaikigesshoku getting to know her. Shippo played with his toys until he got bored and then went to pick on Inuyasha, stopping only when he fell asleep against Kirara around noon. Inuyasha retreated to a tree to think when Shippo wasn't bugging him and causing trouble. Miroku sat meditating the whole day.

"Dinner is ready come and get it," Kagome called around dusk. "Would you like to eat with us Kaikigesshoku?" Kaikigesshoku nodded and sat down beside Kagome. "Arigato Kagome-chan." "Arigato" soon filled the air as everyone began to dig into the ramen she cooked. Only one person was missing, "Where is Inuyasha?" Kagome wondered aloud. Everyone shrugged, not sure where he was at all. ~ I know where he is Kagome-chan; he is by the barrier fretting over what his heart wants. But we both know deep within our hearts that he will choose you in the end. ~ Kaikigesshoku thought to her self as Kagome stood to go find him.

Kagome walked over to the barrier and stood looking at it, as Inuyasha walked up behind her. "Kagome?" his voice caused her to jump and spin around to face him with a panicked feeling. "Oh Inuyasha its you, where were you, I have dinner cooked. I made Ramen your favorite" Kagome looked at the silent hanyou before her. Inuyasha gazed into Kagome's eyes half wishing that they would go through the barrier by them selves.

Back with the group Kaikigesshoku smiled and looked down into the fire, she murmured a few words as a breeze picked up and turned into a fierce wind. ~ You want to go together than you shall go together. ~ Kaikigesshoku laughed softly, "Let's get some sleep I have a feeling that Inuyasha and Kagome want to be alone to talk." Shippo began to protest that he wasn't sleepy as he yawned and began to fall asleep leaning against Sango.

The wind began to push Inuyasha and Kagome towards the barrier in front of them. "Inuyasha?" "Kagome what do you think is happening." "I think it's pulling us in," Kagome glanced at the barrier which was getting closer to them. Kagome instinctively grabbed onto Inuyasha, and Inuyasha didn't object to her arms wrapped around his waist. Then within seconds they were in the barrier each was alone, neither could see nor hear the other. The only thing they could see was a meadow before them, and the only sound that could be heard was their heartbeat and a soft voice.

~*~ Inuyasha's P.O.V ~*~

She had been holding on to me and now she was gone. I was alone completely alone, and in a meadow. The only sound I could hear was my heartbeat and someone's voice; it reminded me of Kagome's. "Kagome, Kagome where are you?" Kikyou appeared in front of me smiling wickedly, "Inuyasha come to hell with me." I shook my head, "Sorry Kikyou I only swore to protect you to get revenge on Naraku for what he did. I am protecting Kagome because I love her. She accepted me for who I am. She doesn't have to ask me to use the jewel to become human because she likes me for who I am. I only love her; you can go to hell by your self. I hope you will rest in peace."

Kikyou frowned and faded away, the soft voice whispered to me once more before it too faded away. I was once again alone in the meadow. I turned and began to walk towards a weeping willow, as I got closer I saw a beautiful girl waiting for me, her scent seems familiar to me somehow but I can't quite place it. She stood and turned towards me smiling. I recognize that smile, its Kagome's. At least I know I am not alone any more. Kagome will always be there for me just like she promised.

~*~ Kagome's P.O.V ~*~

I was holding onto him partly from fear and partly because I wanted to. I was afraid I guess that I wouldn't see him again. I ended up just like I feared alone, alone in a meadow. The only thing I could hear was my heartbeat and a soft voice calling to me. "Inuyasha, Inuyasha" I called for him ignoring the voice that spoke to me. I began to wander around the meadow searching for him. I don't want to be alone. I made a promise to him I have to keep; I promised that I would always be there for him whenever he needed me.

I spun in a circle once more and then stopped seeing him. I ran over to him passing by a weeping willow tree and hugged him, "I love you Inuyasha and I want you to have what ever will make you happy." I half sobbed in his arms hoping that it was the real Inuyasha and that he would finally know how I felt. A wave of nausea over took me causing the world to go black before me as I sobbed in his arms.

~*~ Normal P.O.V ~*~

The next morning dawned as Sango awoke with a start. Kaikigesshoku greeted her quietly, "Morning Sango, sleep well?" Sango nodded surprised that she did sleep well. "Yes for the first time in a long time. It felt like someone was singing a lullaby just for me and helping me sleep." "I felt the same way as well Sango-chan." "Hoshi-sama, you've slept well too?" "Hai." "Where is Kagome?" A small voice spoke up. "Yes where are Kagome and Inuyasha?" Kaikigesshoku stood up and looked off towards the barrier, "I shall return with them, they went through the barrier last night I believe."

Miroku spoke up before Sango had the chance, "I thought we all agreed to go through together." "The barrier" Kaikigesshoku began "called for them to go through. Sometimes it makes the decision on when some one goes through and sometimes it decides when one should not go through. I am still waiting for my chance to cross through. But I know that I am not ready, so I am sure the barrier believes the same thing." Kaikigesshoku turned and began to walk towards the barrier letting her words soak in.

Inuyasha awoke under a weeping willow tree with something soft in his arms. He looked down and realized it was a hanyou like him self. the hanyou beside him moved a bit and uncurled her black-gold tail; she then stretched out and rolled over so that she was facing Inuyasha. Inuyasha couldn't help but think he tried to place the hanyou's scent at the same time he tried to figure out where Kagome was.

Kagome rolled over in her sleep and stretched out awaking just a bit as she did so. At the same time as she stretched she reached down and tugged her tail. Kagome opened her eyes and found her self looking at Inuyasha and holding a tail. "Inuyasha, why am I holding a tail?" Inuyasha's eyes widened as he heard Kagome's voice come from the hanyou. "Kagome is that you?" "Yes baka it is me. Why am I holding a tail?" Inuyasha stared at Kagome speechlessly. "I don't know?" Each told the other what had happened when they went through the barrier.

Kagome got up and looked around she spotted what she was looking for and hurried over to a small pond behind the tree. She looked down into the pond and gasped at her reflection. Instead of the Kagome she knew looking back at her she saw a tall black-gold haired girl with pale violet-gold eyes, two dog ears on her head, and of course her black-gold tail.

Kaikigesshoku walked up behind Kagome and called to her, "Kagome-chan, I see your hearts desire came true. Did it not?" "I don't understand at all." "Inuyasha told Kikyou why he protects you and why he loves you. You told him that you love him and that you want him to be happy. Your heart and his both agree that you love each other very much, and to compromise the fact that he would out live you if you stayed human turned you into a hanyou."

Inuyasha kissed Kagome lightly on the lips, "I told Kikyo to go to hell with out me." Kagome hugged Inuyasha, "I love my new form, but I wonder what mom will think about it." She giggled and then turned back to Kaikigesshoku. "Do I have a human night as well?" Kaikigesshoku nodded, "I am not sure when it will be though." Then she turned and walked back to the others, ~ soon it will be the other couples turn and of course the kitsune's as well.~

"Hoshi-sama are you ready to go through the barrier?" Miroku nodded and took Sango's hand. Sango blushed a bit and together they headed through the barrier. Shippo ran forwarded hoping to catch the two before they entered and tripped as he fell he landed inside the barrier.
