Start Of A New Life by Oddball

By the well and a new mate

~ Start of a new life ~

It has been three long years since the evil hanyou Naraku has been defeated, though everyone has been happy about the kill the Shikon No Tama was still incomplete, which left Inuyasha and the gang still on the hunt to find the last few shards that way it could be wished from existence and out of evils hands forever...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Pacing back and forth in front of the well Inuyasha stood with his arms crossed over his chest grumbling about " stupid girls and having to go home all the time when we got jewel shards to find..." 

"I have to go home she says, I have a test in three days, I have friends and a family that need my attentions too. Keh!" Inuyasha mocked and muttered. Iuyasha remembered that argument yesterday all too well, and being the stubborn one he is ended up with a good healthy "sit" from Kagome in the end...

While watching his little tizzy fit, Miroku and Sango sat under a tree not far from the well shaking their heads at their poor friend, listening to him gripe about Kagome having to go home.  "I wonder why he's so antsy, Kagome just went home yesterday, he's never like this until the day she's supposed to come back." Sango thought while keeping a weary eye on the monk sitting next to her so he didn't make any moves to grope her bottom.

"Man I can't do anything when she's watching me like this." Miroku thought whilst scooting a little closer to Sango but stopped mid scoot when she glared at him. Sighing in defeat Miroku got up and made his way to Inuyasha... "You know you gave her three days Inuyasha." Said Miroku

Keh. I know what I gave her, but I don't see why she's gotta go home when there's jewel shards to be found."" That and I miss her when she's gone." Inuyasha added the last part in his head.

Miroku sighed, he knew his friend meant well but ever since Narakus demise he's been acting a little strange lately, he didn't know what it was so he pushed the thought aside to dissect the reasons behind it later. "Yes I know we have shards to find Inuyasha, but Kagome has a family in her era that I'm sure she would like to spend time with and I'm sure she has other things to attend too as well" Miroku said

" Not to mention gather food and supplies for our travels" Sango added on her way over to stand by the monks side but kept her distance from his "cursed hand".

"Keh. Would you get off my back already, geese I'll leave OK!!!" Inuyasha yelled and ran off to jump in the highest branch in the sacred tree so he could look over the well.

Sango and Miroku stood there looking at each other a little shocked at Inuyasha's outburst, but shook it off thinking it was his way of missing Kagome and started to walk off towards the village.

Inuyasha watched as the two made their way to the village, satisfied that they were out of his hair, for a while anyway, he jumped off the branch he was perched on and landed gracefully on the ground and made his way to the well, only this time sitting in front of it resting his chin on his hands on the lip of the well staring into it's depth of darkness...

About 20 minutes went by and Inuyasha was still sitting in his spot next to the well, sighing he stood up to leave when he noticed soul collectors fly past him heading in the opposite direction of the village deep into the forest. "Kikyo!" Inuyasha thought and ran off to follow them.

After a minute or two of running Inuyasha came to a small clearing in the forest, the smell of graveyard soil was close by and closing in... "Inuyasha in knew you'd come." Kikyo said in a cool emotionless voice as she appeared from the darkness of the forest.

" K-Kikyo...Wh-What are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked a little shocked after three years of not seeing her.

" I came to spend our usual time together of course... I know it's been three years Inuyasha, but I've missed you so... Come to me Inuyahsa." Said Kikyo holding out her arms for him, and without hesitation Inuyasha went to Kikyo's awaiting arms for a loving embrace. "Kikyo I missed seeing you so much... I thought I lost you after the battle with Naraku, the way you were so badly wounded... I thought I'd never see you again." Inuyasha said in a soft voice that was almost like a purr.

" I've recovered Inuyasha, you need not worry... I am a strong woman and can take care of myself." Kikyo said pulling away a little to look at him in the face.

" Kikyo..." was all Inuyasha could say before Kikyo pulled him into a passionate kiss. Inuyasha ran his tongue along her bottom lip asking for entry, which she gladly granted, while their tongues battled for dominance a slight moan escaped Kikyo's mouth, which rang through out Inuyasha's ears sending fire through his entire body. Breaking the kiss for some much needed air, Inuyasha took a moment to look into Kikyo's eyes. " Her eyes hold no emotion, but I know she's still the person I once knew...I don't care what anyone say's I can't be away from her any longer...I must be with her, I have to be with her, I NEED to be with her." Thought Inuyasha. Mind made up Inuyasha went on with his decision.

" Kikyo will you be my mate?" said Inuyasha

" Oh Inuyasha I would love too. But what about Kagome, don't you love her?" said Kikyo

"Kagome" thought Inuyasha. " I do love Kagome but more as a little sister or a best friend... Kikyo I could never love her the way that I love you." Said Inuyasha with much love in his voice.

"Well..." Kikyo didn't get to finish cus Inuyasha caught her lips in another passionate kiss... Tongues battling for dominance Kikyo didn't notice that Inuyasha had managed to move them so her back was against a tree, grinding his hips against hers, Kikyo could feel the growing bulge in Inuyasha's hakamas, moaning into the kiss Kikyo made work on Inuyasha's ties for his outer kimono growing more and more aroused, while he started trailing kisses along her jaw line down her neck fiddling with her ties as well, getting her kimono ties free Inuyasha gently ran his hands over her shoulders and down her arms to slide the clothing off her body to pool around her feet. With swift movements Kikyo was on the ground under him. As he kissed her again he removed his inner kimono and seductively untied her hakamas and slid them down her legs, Kikyo moaned at the fiery sensation that he was causing on her at every brush of the finger, making her urn for his touch more and more. Inuyasha stood only to take off his hakamas and then kneeled down if front of her and gently spread her legs and laid in between them, Kikyo gasped at the harden length that would be Inuyasha brush along her inner thigh. Reaching down and grabbing his fully erect member he positioned himself at her entrance and paused only for a moment...

"Kikyo, I love you, are you sure your ready for this?" said Inuyasha

"And I you Inuyasha." Said kikyo, took in a steady breath and gave him a ready-to-go nod.

With that said Inuyasha kissed Kikyo and slowly slid himself in, taking his time, for they had the whole evening ahead of them for passionate love making...

At Kaede's hut, Miroku, Sango, Kaede, and Shippo were in the hut sitting in peaceful silence enjoying some hot tea. " I wonder what Inuyasha's doing, it's getting awfully late." Said Sango in a curious voice with a hint of worry in it, while petting Kirara on the head.

Kaede sipped on her tea knowing all to well Inuyasha was probably sulking by the well awaiting Kagome's return.

" He's probably still by the well." Stated Miroku looking at the sleeping form of Shippo also wondering why Inuyasha was out so late.

" Miroku, Inuyasha's been acting kind of strange lately...Do you know why? " asked Sango

" Honestly I really don't Sango, but I've been wondering the same thing... I think it may have to do with Kikyo, we haven't seen her since the battle with Naraku and he's been pushing Kagome pretty hard to train with Kaede to sharpen her miko abilities... I've been wondering if he's been trying to get her as strong as Kikyo." Miroku said

" Aye, Kagome's training is progressing with great speed, she is a quick learner, though there isn't much more I can teach her being the lone priestess that I am." Kaede said taking another sip of her tea.

" But I thought you had many skills in the miko ways Kaede." Exclaimed Sango

" I have more skills in the art of healing and in medicine. Spiritual power I also have skills in, but Kagome needs someone with more experience and a lot of power for her to harness the ultimate power of her miko abilities locked away deep within her. Thought she has learned a lot there is not much more I can teach her, she will soon have to find someone else." Said Kaede with a disappointed sigh for Kagome having to go to some else for further teachings.

" Do you know of anyone that harnesses such a power that she could train with?" asked Miroku

" Ye must understand miko's of Kagomes standards are a very rare find now a days, but alas no. But Kagome is a smart child I'm sure she will find a way to harness this great power of hers if all else fails." said Kaede

The hut fell into a comfortable silence once again; nothing was heard but light breathing from each companion and the occasional crackle of the fire....

SMACK " PERVERT"

" Sango my dear you know my hand has a mind of its own." Miroku wined rubbing his sore cheek.

" STUFF IT YOU PIG! IS THAT ALL YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IS GRAB MY ASS!" shouted Sango, but before further aggravation could come her way she got up and moved to the other side of the hut and sat next to Shippo's sleeping form glaring at the monk across from her.

Sighing Miroku got up put another piece of wood in the dying fire, said his goodnight, and laid down to get some shut eye, but not before he sent Sango an apologetic look which he got a shy smile in return.

" I don't know why he's got to do that, he's not that bad of a guy, I just wish he'd stop being a womanizer...and leave my butt alone...I guess that'll never happen...I'll need to talk to Kagome when she gets back." Thought Sango with a slight giggle and then a yawn.

" Goodnight Kaede, I'll see you tomorrow." Said Sango while lying down to rest for the night.

" Goodnight child, sleep well." Said Kaede, getting settled in her-self. My sister Kikyo's near by, I can sense her." With a sigh Kaede closed her eyes and let sleep claim her.
