What Lies After the End by Color of Death
Chapter 1- Fate's Inconceivable Answer
Kagome P.O.V.
He walked toward me with a grace that would win against a God’s. I voiced my opinion with my ever lacking voice. He gave a small chuckle amused at the fact that I could still talk. The other also gave a small smirk with an eye brow raised.
The He happened to be InuYasha’s half-brother, Sesshomaru. The other was none other than Naraku. Both had been the stars in my wet dreams. And since they were in front of me wearing nothing but a birthday suit, and Naraku had given me the greatest ride of a life time, I figured it was one of those nights. I started to doubt that when no other than Lady Fate showed up in front of us.
“ Kagome me my dear we have a very important issue to discuss.”
“ And that would be?”
“ You just happen to be the soul mate of 2 males. This could create a problem seeing that they are very possessive and would be rather stubborn to have you running to the other. You need t-”
“ Wait now, hold up. Are the 2 stubborn males at my side the ones you are referring to?”
She gave a slight nod.
“ I guess it could be worse. So what is it that I need to do?”
“Yes, well you see, they not only crave your pure white soul, but they would like also some dark alike to their own. They can find that in each other. So I will need to teach you how to intercept their dreams and leave them dreams of... err...umm...”
“SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!!!!”
“ You need to give them a dream of a threesome...-”
“HOW THE FUCK DO YOU EXPECT ME TO CONVINCE MY STUBBORN MALES OF THAT!!!!”
“ Do you doubt fate?”
“No... but-”
“ I will also give them a talk about this too. They will already be in love with you and have a honorable friendship with each other. Giving this as duty will force them to give in to my will. Now wake up my child, I will return tomorrow for your training.”
I watched as she disappeared with Naraku and Sesshomaru. I could feel the warmth around me slip away as I awoke...

I was drenched, that was the first thing I noticed. Then I felt the cold wrap its way around my body. When my vision cam into focus I noticed the small fire and the cave I was placed in. Rin was curled at my inside, Shippo on my outside. The other glanced at my rising form warily.
“ What’s the matter?”
“ The final battle is to take place after the rain lets up.” InuYasha answered, blunt as always.
“ How did we get to the cave?”
InuYasha answered again,” I carried you since you wouldn’t wake up. Were you doing something important?”
"Fate spoke to me, about my future. This rain won’t let up until tomorrow at the earliest so I suggest we get some rest.”
The rest agreed a little shocked I was granted the knowledge of my future. After everyone was asleep, even InuYasha, I was relieved. I needed some time to my self. I had figured out that the battle would not be kind to my friends, Lady Fate had given me a respite. They would all be gone tomorrow, even Shippo. Rin would be the only one left besides me because since Sesshomaru had joined Naraku, and Rin was left in our care for the time being, he would not let her be killed. With this new found knowledge, I laid down and basked in the scent of my adoptive son knowing that tomorrow he would be gone. Afterwards I cried for what seemed like forever. My body eventually came to itself and all for the escape in sleep.

I saw all of their faces pass by they played in the meadow unaware of my presence. I ran toward them with tears in my eyes trying to get their attention. I noticed Miroku trying to grope Sango’s behind. In a effort to save his head I went over to stop the action. When I touched his hand, the he noticed me. He paled when he saw my blue eyes. Then Sango looked up with depression in her eyes along with the same fear Miroku showed. My heart went cold when my kitsune cub hid behind InuYasha’s leg. InuYasha spoke in a cold tone that would rival Sesshomaru’s.
“ What do you want? How dare you show your face here! After you killed us and then slept with the enemy! Don’t come near us, Bitch,”
“What do you mean, how could I kill you? I am not a bitch, and I’m still a virgin.”
A deep cool voice spoke from behind,” Why are trying to lie dear? It is Yuri’s feeding time. Do you not remember the 3 children you whelped for this Sesshomaru?”
Another voice spoke from behind,” Maru is right, do you not love us or our children anymore?”
I turned around to face both of my soul mates, each holding a child. Lady Fate stepped forward and pulled me away.
“ Child, I see you have figured the fate of your friends.”
“Yes.. It hurts so bad.”
“ Do not get discouraged, it is how things are.”
I knew in my heart that it was either my loves or my friends, and Fate had chosen my loves. It was the right choice, but I can’t bear the fact of their death.
“ You cannot show their fate to them, they will have a hatred for you so strong they will end up like Kikyou. Let them rest with no unfinished business. I have taken care of your lovers, for I have found that you were not needed to complete the task. They will not kill you or Rin tomorrow. You need to get yourself acquainted with your new life. Now rest with peace Gods’ favorite child.”
And with that she disappeared and I was able to sleep in peace for the remainder of the night.

I woke up to silence. The rain had stopped it was time for battle. I quietly woke the others. They greeted me with warm smiles to mask the dread. I was making ramen for the kids to last a while when Rin woke up, I figured it was best to teach her incase it was a while before I returned. She learned fast and before I knew it we were preparing to leave. I gave both kids a big hug, and a kiss on the forehead.
And the battle has begun, I can only hope that those that are to remain stay in good health.
A.N.- I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA!!!
I hope you enjoy it! This is my first InuYasha fic. You can find me in DeviantArt via ~colorofdeath~. I love the pairing of SessKag but NaraKag is definently close behind, so I mixed 'em. I can see similarites between Sess and Nara, they are both cold and are driven people. Sesshy is just a little more sane is all. Until next time, from yours truly... Ciao!!~
