Love's Choices

Chapter II

Hina's Favor

 

I'm not too sure exactly what I'm doing with this story, but I'm hoping you like it!

 

Summary: You love more than one person, but who do you choose? Kagome as always loved Inuyasha, but on a visit to her old friend she meets Hiei. Falling for him over the duration of the stay, but who does she choose, her new love Hiei or her first love Inuyasha? And Inuyasha has his own choice to make. The dead Kikyo or the living Kagome? Everyone seems to have their own choices to make! But when they make their choices, will it be too late?

 

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yuyu Hakusho or Inuyasha! I wish I did, but sadly... I don't.

 

Let's talk telepathy

Taking an hour, the trip to the floating island was a long one. The ice maidens were never the nicest people when it came to talking with men, but they agreed to help the miko. They could all sense her purity and that she was untouched. Hina was the one to heal her.

 

Kagome slowly awoke and found herself in a room where it was quite cold. Shivering, she attempted to pull herself up, but she was immediately forced to lie back down. A hand on her shoulder restrained her from getting up. "You need to stay down in order to heal faster."

 

Slowly, Kagome's eyes looked up into aqua. "Wh-who are you?"

 

A small smile appeared on the woman's face. "My name's Hina. A man named Sesshomaru brought you here to be healed."

 

Kagome's eyes widened in shock. "Sesshomaru brought me here?"

 

"Hai, he said you formed a temporary alliance with your rescue of Rin. He'll be here for you next week, then the true alliance will be talked about."

 

Sighing, the miko relaxed on the bed. "Where is here?"

 

"Koorime Isle."

 

"The floating island of ice maidens?" Kagome asked in surprise. At Hina's nod, she giggled. "I'm surprised Sesshomaru got here then."

 

Hina smiled. "Men can't stay here, but they are allowed here to heal from time to time. We are after all, on the Western Lands... even if we're not actually touching the ground." She chuckled.

 

The rest of the week was quite fun. Kagome met little Yukina. The girl was seven years old. Hina had talked about a few things, one of them being her past. She spoke of the fire demon she had met and fallen in love with, and the child she had lost. Kagome had replied by telling her about her time travels and her journey through the current time (the past).

 

The night before Sesshomaru was to collect her, they sat down to speak some more. "What was the fire demon's name?"

 

"Hotaro. I really miss him."

 

"May I ask what happened?"

 

"He died defending me while I was pregnant. I returned here shortly afterward, and my little boy was tossed off the isle for being male." A single tear fell at the memory.

 

Kagome stood and hugged her friend. "It'll be ok Hina."

 

Slowly, Hina looked up into Kagome's eyes. "Would you do me a favor Kagome?"

 

"What is it?"

Sesshomaru appeared the next day and looked at Kagome. "I am glad to see you're healed miko."

 

"It is good to see you well also, Sesshomaru-sama."

 

"Come miko, it is time to return to your group." Kagome nodded as Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her.

 

They left and it took three hours to return to the inu-tachi. Inuyasha started yelling at her before he noticed something. "Why do you have a sword?"

 

"My new friend asked a favor of me..." Was her vague response.

 

"I think that it's time to talk about the alliance which Sesshomaru spoke of earlier."

 

"Ok." Kagome said as she lowered herself to the ground. Sesshomaru walked over and folded himself neatly beside her. "So what do we need to talk about?"

 

"What are the conditions of the alliance?" Miroku asked.

 

"I would like your allegiance to the western lands, If any problems should arise, such as a war, you would be expected to help. I also expect the miko to help with Rin. Such as teaching her to read, write, and anything else she may need to know."

 

"Does that mean you'll be traveling with us?" Sango asked.

 

"Until the hanyou, Naraku, is defeated, yes. I shall also expect Inuyasha to take his duties as Prince of the western lands at the end of the battle. I expect my terms are agreeable?"

 

After looking at everyone, Kagome nodded. "Hai, it's agreeable."

 

"Good." Sesshomaru said as he stood. "I must return to the palace for a few days. Rin will stay here with you to begin her tutelage."

It had been a few months since they had joined forces. Kouga had also joined with them, as well as Ayame. The girls were thrilled that she joined, because they were tired of there being only two girls (not counting Kirara and Rin). Kagome was steadily learning to fight from Sango, who was teaching her the art of the exterminators. Ayame showed her some magic tricks that she could pull with her miko powers.

 

Miroku was also helping to teach her to use reiki, Kaede helped to teach her miko ki, but it was difficult since they didn't go to the village often enough. Inuyasha decided that he'd help her out with that, he asked Kikyo to join our group and teach her.

 

It was one time when Kikyo was instructing her on making barriers that Sesshomaru interrupted the entire group. "A meeting has been called between the demon lords."

 

"Your point?" Inuyasha asked with a scowl.

 

"I believe his point is that as prince, you must attend." Kagome said from her current seat next to Kikyo.

 

"She is correct, but she must also attend."

 

"What?" She asked, her head shooting up quickly.

 

"I need to speak with you in private miko." A growl. "Kagome."

 

She stood with a smile. "Alright Sesshomaru-sama." Silently following him away from the others and into a clearing, she waited for him to address her first. When it became obvious that that wouldn't happen, she addressed him. "What do you need my lord?"

 

"Inuyasha has yet to make a choice. I wish for you to join the inu clan, an adoption of sorts. You will become part of the house of the moon, my family. You will also still be able to be with Inuyasha if he chooses you."

 

"So you want me to join your family and become inu?"

 

"Hai. I would also like you to be at my side during the meeting."

 

"May I have a few days to make my decision about joining your family?"

 

"Of course miko."

 

Kagome giggled at that. "Why do you have such a hard time calling me by my name, Sesshou?"

 

A small smile appeared on the demon lord's lips. "You are not in my family yet Kagome, so I do not use your name."

It was slow traveling. It took two days to make it to the western palace. Everyone gawked at the size of it, even Inuyasha hadn't realized that it was that large. Sesshomaru simply smirked at everyone. "I rebuilt it."

 

The inus in the castle were stiff when they entered. They didn't seem to like the fact that humans were entering the palace. In fact, some were growling. Inuyasha of course was growling right back. Kagome just shook her head and told him to ignore it and behave. Rin of course had no idea what was going on, but no one seemed to mind her.

 

They waited there for the lords to arrive. Everyone took this as time to get some major training in. The best part was that Kagome was able to finish Sango's training. She was now a tajiya.... sorta. There was one last thing that she had to go through before it became official. Not many knew about it, but the pink eye shadow was actually a tattoo. The tajiya women gained one when they became fully trained.

 

"We're done now Kagome. I have other things I need to do, so meet me at sundown."

 

"Ok Sango." Kagome said as she walked off. Deciding that she should know what the meeting's about since it was the next day, she headed to Sesshou's study. After knocking, she entered and saw Sesshou sitting at the desk. He lifted his eyes from the scrolls to look at her. "I thought I should know what the meeting's about since I'll be attending it."

 

"We are discussing our treaties and the problem of Naraku."

 

"Oh, why is it I need to be there?"

 

"You know a lot about Naraku, and you may be joining the family."

 

"Right." She sighed. "I need to get to my training with Kikyo now."

 

"I want to see you an hour before sundown. I'll be taking over your training with the sword."

 

Kagome bowed to him before leaving. "Hai Sesshou."
