A Tragic Lovesong Divine

The next day Kagome went to class as usual. She had planned on confronting Haku about the night before but he was nowhere to be seen, even at lunch. She spent the rest of the day with her friends and then instead of staying to help after school, she made her way to town to find something to wear to the dance. She had no idea what Koga was wearing so she was just going to have to wing it today. The first dress shop had some pretty nice dresses but they were all slightly expensive. Kagome really didn’t want to pay a whole lot for a dress. It just wasn’t in her nature to be so expensive. She was looking at a pretty blue dress when someone spoke to her.

“I think you should get that one. I’m sure it will look very nice on you.” Kagome turned around and saw that it was Haku.

“What the hell are you doing in here? I thought you were…were you following me? I’ve been looking all around for you today and you were nowhere to be found. Why is it that when I DON’T want to see you that you are hanging around? Huh, what gives?”

“Well, I need to get something to wear to the dance. I have just as much right to go as anybody else.”

“Yeah, but that doesn’t explain why you were nowhere to be found earlier today.”

“Well, I figured you would be looking for me so I avoided you all day. I didn’t want people to think that we are seeing each other,” he replied nonchalantly.

“What? You’ve gotta be kidding me. No, I don’t want people…you know what? People aren’t going to think that we are seeing each other and you know why?” she asked irritably.

“Please. Enlighten me.”

“It’s because I’m going out with Koga. He’s my boyfriend and I would never cheat on him or anyone else for that matter!”

“Um…sure Kagome. Anyway, I think you should get the dress. It’s very pretty and I am sure Koga will like it very much.”

“Um…no, I think I’ll get the purple one.”

“Fine. Suit yourself, but that one’s not going to look right with your hair and it doesn’t do much for your eye color. I’m just telling you my opinion as a guy. Of course, you could ask your friends, but secretly they’d tell you anything just to get the attention that you get all the time.”

And without another word, he grabbed his tux and left the store. Kagome stood there fuming for a second and looked again at the dress in her hand. Purple wasn’t really a favorite color of hers and she didn’t like the design of the dress. On the other hand, if she bought the blue one then that would mean admitting defeat to that insufferable Haku. Kagome sighed and looked at the price of the dress. The purple one was $200 dollars but the blue one was only $98 and it looked better. After thinking long and hard she finally decided to get the blue one. She’d never hear the end of it from that bugger Haku, but she just couldn’t go against the better deal.

An hour later Kagome arrived at her grandmother’s house itching for another story.

“Grandma Kaede? I’m here.”

“Out in the back Kagome. I am sitting under the tree.”

“Oh, there you are. What brings you out here today?”

“Well, as you already know I like this tree and believe it or not, this tree has played a part of many lives in my day.” Kaede laughed. “So where were we when we last talked young lady?”

“Well, Kikyo had gone to Onigumo’s cave and…”

“Oh yeah, well we are coming up on some very important things then. Let’s see…yeah, so my sister left Onigumo’s cave and…”

----------------------------------------------

Kikyo made her way up the path towards the lake. Instead of going straight like she usually did to go to the Jasmine fields, she took a fork in the road to the right until she reached the Lake of Hope. She sat down by the dock and looked up at the sky. For the short time she was alone there, it seemed as though she was all alone in the world with no one to help carry her burden. In reality, it was true. She was the chosen priestess to watch over the jewel and when she agreed, she agreed to do it for as long as necessary. Kikyo did not even hear Inuyasha when he came and sat beside her.

“Kikyo? What are you doing out here all by yourself. It’s dangerous out here at night. You know that,” he said irritably.

“Oh, I’m sorry Inuyasha. I just needed some fresh air. I just left Onigumo’s cave and tonight he was being unreasonable.”

“You’re still feeding that dumb old bandit? Dammit Kikyo just let him die. He was a bad person who got what he deserved.”

“You know I can’t do that. As a priestess, I have to help him. It’s not in my nature to not at least try to help him. Besides, he’s just a fool who got confused along the way.”

“He’s a lot more than that if you ask me.”

“Well, he’s in love with me Inuyasha.” There was a slight pause before Inuyasha said anything.

“He’s in love with you,” he replied softly.

“Yes, he is. It’s flattering and yet scary at the same time. When I look in his eyes, I see nothing but pure lust rather than love but by the way he speaks of me, I know that he truly cares for me.”

Inuyasha did not say anything. Instead he sat their in pure silence sulking. Kikyo made to get up when Inuyasha stopped her.

“Hey, where are you going?”

“I am going to get in the boat and row to the other side of the lake and back. It’s a beautiful night and I want to enjoy it.”

“I’m coming with you.”

“As you wish,” she said with a smile. They both got into the boat and Kikyo sat down. Inuyasha remained standing.

“Inuyasha, aren’t you going to sit?” she asked.

“I’m taking you out on the lake silly. What didja think I was doing? Just sit down and relax. I can handle this.”

Kikyo laughed. That Inuyasha was always looking out for her. If she didn’t know better she’d say that he actually…But she did not know and she wasn’t going to ask. She just knew that there were times where she felt something that ran a bit deeper than just friendship. Inuyasha rowed the boat and he and Kikyo enjoyed a night on the lake. When they reached the middle of the lake, Kikyo asked Inuyasha to stop rowing and sit down. He sat across from her and both realized that it was a mistake. The moon was glowing and the stars were shining brightly. Kikyo continued to watch the sky while Inuyasha watched her. He was yet again, amazed at how beautiful she was. The moon made her skin look paler than usual but that only made him want to touch it more. She stopped looking at the sky only to turn her gaze to Inuyasha, who was already gazing at her. She started to shiver. Not from the coolness of the night but in reaction to his piercing stare. He reached out a hand to touch her arm. “Are you cold?” he asked softly.

“Oh no. I just…” But that was all she said. Truth be told, she wasn’t sure how she was feeling. She just knew that she needed to get out of that boat.

“I’m going to take us back to shore. I want you to be okay,” he said softly. He stood up, took the row and rowed them gently back to the dock. He got out first and then held out his hand for Kikyo. She reached out and grabbed his hand and started to get out of the canoe. Her first step out on the dock was fine but she ended up missing the dock with her other foot causing her to trip. Inuyasha immediately reached out and she fell into his chest. She looked up at him and smiled weakly. That’s when he pulled her closer into a warm embrace.

“Kikyo, why do you worry so?”

“I don’t…know. Inuyasha?” She pulled away from him. “What do you think of me?” The question startled him for it was very unexpected.

“Well, Kikyo…I…”

“It’s okay Inuyasha. You do not have to answer. I was just…I am fighting with my feelings right now.”

“What do you mean?” he asked curiously.

“It’s…nothing. I’m sorry for bringing it up.”

“Kikyo, listen to me. I don’t know how you feel but there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of you.” He grabbed her hands and pulled her close to him again. “Kikyo,” he whispered, “I think I love…”

“Don’t. Don’t say it.”

“But Kikyo…please, don’t push me away. I really do love and care for you and I will do anything for you…anything you want.” Kikyo looked up at him with tears in her eyes. She wasn’t sure what he meant by that. What more could she possibly want? He was there, with her, holding her and right now that was all she wanted.

“Kikyo, when I said anything…I meant that. I have been thinking about you and the sacred jewel. Do you remember that day we were in the fields? You gave me those beads and you explained to me about the jewel and that it could be used for something other than turning me into a full blooded demon?” Kikyo looked at him, her eyes wide with shock.

“Inuyasha, does that mean you…?”

“Yes Kikyo,” he said softly.

“But…you don’t…” Inuyasha pulled her close to him again and put his arms around her, forcing her to rest her head on his chest.

“Kikyo,” he whispered softly in her ear, “I want to become a human. I want to use the jewel to become a human so that you don’t ever have to risk your life again. I want you to live a normal life and be happy. I never want to see you hurt ever again and if that means I have to become a human, then that’s fine with me. I will stay with you and protect you always Kikyo. Always because I love…”

“Inuyasha! Please, you don’t need to…”

“No, I love you. That’s right, I love you. I’ve loved you since the day I met you Kikyo. There’s something about you and I won’t try to explain because I can’t. You don’t have to tell me that you love me but…”

“Inuyasha, I care for you too. I…I’ve loved you for a long time too, it’s just that I’ve always been afraid to…I don’t know…but as for you becoming a human…are you absolutely certain that’s what you want?” Inuyasha paused for a second before answering.

“No one could make me change my mind. Not even you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you as a human, with no worries.” Inuyasha kissed Kikyo on the ear gently. She began to snuggle into his chest which only motivated him more. He started kissing her more gently on her ears and then moved his way down to her neck. Kikyo’s skin was so soft and silky. He was enjoying every second of being with her. He started to nip at her neck with his teeth and she let out a soft moan. Her moan awaked something in him that just made him want more.

“Kikyo, I am going to pick you up. When I do, wrap your legs around my waist so that I can carry you comfortably,” he whispered in her ear. She nodded her head and when he picked her up, she did as she was told and wrapped her legs around him. She rested her head on his shoulder while he carried her away from the dock. He was going to make love to her tonight, but not at the dock. No, he was going to the place where they first met; the big tree near the field of jasmines.

When he finally reached the fields he laid Kikyo on the ground near the big oak tree. She looked up at him with her wondrous, doe eyes. He smiled down at her. She was so beautiful that he almost didn’t want to touch her, for he got pleasure just by watching her. He leaned over and kissed her softly on the lips. She responded and kissed him back. Soon they were both lost in a world of passionate kisses. Inuyasha tore his lips away from hers and started kissing her neck again while pulling apart the tie on her bottoms which immediately unraveled to reveal he silky smooth legs. He ran his free hand up her legs and thighs causing her to moan softly. When he reached her tummy, he immediately pulled her top open to reveal her perky breasts. He looked into her eyes and he noticed that her face was now red. He smiled and kissed her lips once more before undressing himself.

Kikyo watched as Inuyasha’s robe hit the ground, along with the rest of his clothing. The whole while he was undressing he looked at her with nothing but desire. He finished undressing and then slowly climbed on top of her, kissing her neck…then her lips…then each breast, taking each one in his mouth and sucking softly, making her moan even more. He worked his way down her tummy and to her special place. He looked up to see the frightened look on her face but he only smiled to let her know that she need not worry. She finally relaxed a little and that’s when he started to taste her sweet goodness. She twisted and turned, then arched her back, moving to the rhythm that he set. Her body began to tremble with pleasure and he grabbed her legs to control her release. He smiled and when he was sure she was ready, he climbed back on top then parted her legs slowly. He kissed her lips gently once more before he entered her. He thrust himself into her and she immediately cried out. He had forgotten that she was pure, then again, how could she not? She was nothing but pure inside and out. He looked down at her face as a tear began to fall and he immediately felt guilty. He licked it away and then looked down at her.

“Kikyo, I’m…I’m sorry…I didn’t mean…”

“It’s ok. Really.” She lifted her head and kissed his lips gently. “You did nothing wrong.”

He moved in and out of her more slowly this time until she began to push herself closer to him, begging for more. He picked up the pace moving in and out of her to a steady rhythm. Kikyo moaned louder and loader calling out his name. He kissed her neck moving faster and faster until he did one final thrust and both their cries went out into the night. Exhausted he lay on top of her while part of him was still inside of her. She was now starting to breathe slowly after that massive release. He finally rolled off of her and grabbed his shoal to wrap around the both of them. Kikyo laid her head on his chest and soon she was fast asleep. Inuyasha watched her sleep for a while. She was so beautiful and she was his forever. He closed his eyes and started to think. Soon he would become a human and she would never have to put herself in danger ever again. Inuyasha opened his eyes to Kikyo’s voice. She was mumbling in her sleep, probably out of habit from having to watch herself all the time.

“It’s ok Kikyo,” he whispered in her ear. “I am here for you. I’ll protect you with my life because I…I love you.” He kissed her cheek and soon they were both sleep under the stars.
