Chapter Three The Day She Left

By Inuyashas Yokai

 

 

~Sengoku Judai~

 

The memory of this moment ,still haunts the hanyou till this day ,torments

within his thoughts, and tortures him inside his dreams. The battle with Naraku

lasted all but two days ,leaving what remained standing was close to nothing. The

end resulting the lands that the war ravaged ,barren compared to how it was once

remembered. Sadly ,debris and rubble start to gather from the dense borders of

Inuyashas forest , including near the well and the Sacred Tree, continuing through

Kaede's village, all the way to Sesshomeru's Territory in the Western Lands. Every

thing within those areas now destroyed and thrown to ash.

The War Of Ages finally ended with destruction and death on its mind and

leaving the very same in its wake. The Injuries were many, and the deaths unfathomable,

due to lack of preparation. Leaving the original warriors standing, barely . Kagome's last

stand took everyone's surprise as she pushed through the chaos in the battles wake . She

too was broken and tired from the wears and tears of battle and it showed. From the lines

etching on her face to the passing look in her eyes , the path that shadowed her with the

trails of blood dripping from the scars made from war. Limping towards the front of enemy

lines ,Inuyasha grasped her wrist trying to shield her from behind me though she wouldn't listen .

Slightly she smiled and shook her head lightly in response saying:

 

“Its time Inuyasha, to end this.” Kagome whispered

 

Inuyasha himself nodded knowing she was right as he came stood beside her striding up with

her to where it all started . In front of us the beast they all knew as Naraku stood in all of his vile disgusting

presence. Moments passed as we stopped before a cackling Naraku , noticing their friends were standing

directly behind Inuyasha's and Kagome's stance. They had fought off  most of the minions in Naraku's

following until Miroku took it upon his duty to suck the remaining within his wind tunnel.

Poisoned he struggled to stand next to Sango. Kirara , andShippo stood behind them.

Together the group of friends, lovers , stood to defeat and finally

end the tirade haunting them . Sango, Miroku, Shippo,Inuyasha,Kagome,Kirara, took the

positions to strike our attack . Kagome quickly froze me by her voice ,while her hand that

embraced mine with hers . It seemed like time stood still while our gazes locked , cinnamon

with honey gold .

 

“ No matter what happens here and now I just wanted you all to know Its

been a pleasure being with you , I have no regrets, except one.” Kagome moved her gaze back to

Inuyasha from the battlefield,.while watching what was playing out around them.

 

”Inuyasha , I can't keep this from you anymore not now when I might not get another chance “

 

The hanyou with her in his gaze felt warmth come up from within him as she spoke. She closed

the distance and quickly grazed her lips against his. Inuyasha stilled at first as silent tears trailed

down his face though didn’t care, Kagome pulled from him shortly after.

 

“I love you Inuyasha” .

 

Kagome steeled herself after that and directed her attention back to the terror standing in front of her.

She began to run , leaving us adrift and Inuyasha in shock . I quickly lifted up my

Tetsuseiga and followed her with the others closely behind him as we threw our first round of

attacks.

 

' Damn girl how dare she do that to me and not leaving me any time to react , she will

definitely get it back for that one . ' The hanyou thought while he ran into the outbreak of war

 

After about a hour had just about broken down his defenses, as Kagome aimed her arrow

at the pitiful attempts Naraku kept himself together.

 

“Inuyasha now I need the Wind scar! “ Kagome called out in fury .

 

Looking at her know was breathtaking , She had now taken a more ethereal to those who saw

her especially Inuyasha. Her eyes had taken the same color but was highlighted by the hue as

the jewel itself .The hair that fanned around her form blew around her ,while her aura encased and

bellowed from her ,left him temporary frozen .

 

“Inuyasha !”

 

Her voice , those heaven like undertones coming from her mouth called to him of of my musings.

Inuyasha looked up at her .

 

“What do ya want Wench ? “

 

“I said I need the Wind scar, Now !” Kagome commanded

 

Inuyasha was making his way fighting over towards her with the residual demonic twits in

his way.

 

“ On my way Wench , and another thing if we make it out of here alive you'll be getting

a lot more than just my Wind scar , definitely will be getting a piece of me”.

 

“ Ya ,Whatever Inuyasha , just do it “

 

After that was said the butterflies in Kagome's stomach grew with the elaborate

electric waved going thru her ,and shocking her . Kagome let the bow fly engorged with

everything in her ,soar towards the middle of the fight ,and clearing the path straight to that of

Naraku.. Shortly following Inuyasha swirled in his spot catapulting with everything that define

him exploding with all his might ,and implored the power that mingled with the entrails of

swirling red and blue ,hitting the mark .Following the deepening howls claiming the deadly Wind

scar soaring with the sorcery of the sacred arrow towards the point of entry , where his heart once

resided and where the near now completed jewel took its place, Tainted with malice.

On impact the groups components were thrown with the explosion that followed

sending them into the now dusty atmosphere ,and their bodies tossed carelessly to the unforgiving

ground. The priestess from long ago stood above Inuyasha , then slightly tugged him to awaken

from his unconscious slumber. Upon letting his eyelids grudgingly flutter open , he jerked back

a little out of habitual reaction to being snucked up upon. Kikyo stood with her cold and dead

eyes boaring into his. After seconds entrapped by her eyes ,Inuyasha shook his head of the

thoughts that followed , and then turned his gaze towards his fallen friends , his love. At first

Inuyasha couldn't find her , so he pushed past Kikyo's embrace and rose to stand . The hanyou

stuck his nose to the air to sniff Kagome's scent out. It didn’t take long before he took in her scent

and suddenly felt dread embedding itself into his heart.

Inuyasha ran towards the place where her sweet scent tainted with blood originated from was.

Once he came to where the putrid scent smothered his senses and his fury grew with fear,to the

sight the damage took. Inuyasha skid to a stop the smile on his face from the success with finding

her,soon faded ,and slowly made his his way to looking there of the low cliff on the ground. Looking

up,facing towards him laid his love Kagome sprawled on the ground near the God tree .

 

“Kagome!”Inuyasha's raspy voice croaked out from the lips of his pain wrenched form .

 

Inuyasha ran to her and gathered her into his arms ,like that of a bride and held her to his chest .

He shook her slightly to wake her , and spoke to her softly silently begging her to wake.

It was some time that past before she started to moan through raspy breaths and the woman in his

arms shook. Kagome began to move , but the hanyou wasn’t totally out of his daze as of yet with

his head buried in her nape of her neck, That is until she spoke his name.

 

“Inu....Inuyasha “, Kagome stuttered from her spot in his embrace.

 

Inuyasha slowly leaned back to look at his beautiful Kagome with only one thought on

mind .

 

' Mine.'

 

Their orbs soon caught each others gaze momentarily bringing smiles to their faces .

 

“Hello, Inuyasha”

 

“Hiya, Kagome”

 

“Does this mean we have defeated Naraku?” Kagome asked .

 

“ I think so .. I think it's over... “Inuyasha whispered.

 

“ Not quite , Inuyasha “ with that Kagome held up the completed Jewel Of The Four Souls.

 

“ Yea , I guess I forgot about the blasted thing , I will be glad when that thing is as far away

from me as possible ,but before that happens I need to take care of some things , will you wait

me to return ?” Inuyasha asked while looking at her brown gems , fighting the urge to lose

himself within them .

 

“ Yea sure. “ Kagome fathomed.

 

“ Oh yea , I almost forgot “ now standing and offering a hand to pull the small girl to her feet .He

smirked while remembering his distraction in her confession that pleasantly floored him.

 

“ Yep ? What's that Inuyasha ? “ Kagome asked

 

Inuyasha then looked at her for what seemed a short while memorizing every part of her, etching

the details in his memory, and then deeply inhaled her scent. Kagome soon noticed that she was

being pulled towards him in a tight embrace. Before she began to feel the butterflies emerge from

her gut, Kagome felt his arms wrapping themslves around her. Inuyasha smiled and inhaled the

pleasant smell that was concentrated at her neck underneath the curtain of her hair . Kagome

shocked,but slowly wrapped her arms around his waist to deepen the feel between them .

The hanyou loosened his hold of her to looking again in her eyes .

Taking one of his once feral claws and softly grazed her cheek ,then running to the side of her neck ,

while sending electricity through his fingers ,eliciting euphoria and goosebumps. Inuyasha

then cupped her chin with one hand, while the other was at the small of her back pulling her closer.

The two entranced couple unbeknownst to them had a audience . They were within inches of their

lips touching when a voice startled them, followed by the distant sounds of coughing. In short

seconds they jumped apart quickly , embarrassment and heat of the moment became evident

on their faces in a deep shade of crimson.

The scene was enduring , Inuyasha was thrown pretending he was mad for them snooping on him ,

that there was nothing to see , and they were just talking ,while the hanyou helped

Kagome to walk. Kagome just waved her hands in front of her while humming a tune out loud.

Miroku called out ,only to tease them ,furthering their moment of being caught in what could be

seen as a intimate embrace.

 

“ No , Don't you don’t have to stop on my account , please continue. I would like

to know what you were about to tell our little Kagome. “

 

“Ah Shut up , Monk , What I have to say to Kagome is between me and Kagome . So butt

out.”Inuyasha spat ,while chancing a look at her,and admiring her sweet blush rising to her

cheeks.

 

.Inuyasha waited until she brought her eyes to his and mouthed the words 'Wait for me I need to finish this with you'

 

Kagome responded with a nod then turned to her friends , soon recognizing the one approaching them.

Kikyo. Once the name left her lips everyone turned and she started to feel uncertain as her body began to

tense. Inuyasha must have noticed this for the slight twinge of his facial features as he swayed his sights to

her then towards Kikyo. Inuyasha began to slowly walk towards Kagome and slightly grasped her shoulder in a

short rub before turning his attention to his past love. Kikyo.

Before the hanyou made to stand in Kikyo's vicinity, a few things happened. The world around them froze as it

all that was happening ,and played out in slow motion. Kikyo rose her bow and aimed it at her reincarnation

Kagome. Inuyasha knocking Kikyo down while screaming a roared howl in the negative, therefore dislodging

her attempts .

 

“No !”Inuyasha screamed

 

Next a sudden barrier erupted around Kagome as the Jewel itself was pulsing within her fingertips,

calling attention of it's present master begging for it's inevitable end . This latter occurrence received

everyone's sudden attention to its call ,and sent Inuyasha into panic ,because he knew what the stakes

were. As Inuyasha looked to the scene playing out before him he chided himself in deep

thought.

 

“Shit ,Dammit, Fuck !How am I going to get myself out of this one ,while keeping everything

with her intact.?”Inuyasha yelled

Though suddenly it all just vanished with her along with it , shortly after . Now looking where it all

started , The jewel faded away taking his Kagome with it....... and away from Inuyasha.. The hanyou instantly fell

to his knees and wept unable to hold the things untold anymore ,leaving him feeling defeated. The woman he

came to know and love, rescuing him ,Inuyasha didn't have the Chance to return the notion as she is forever

gone, lost to him to the barriers of time. Or so they thought.....

To Be Continued .
