An Inu Story by TigerGirl1989
Chapter 1
Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Kirara, Kikyo and of course Inuyasha all sat around the fire staring up at the sky.
Inuyasha stood up taking Kikyo with him; he looked at the group and said "We will be right back." without a word from anyone they took off.
Tonight Inuyasha and Kikyo were going to become mates, Kagome had been upset at first but she let it go.
The jewel had been complete and it was wished on, so it was no longer part of this world& at least that’s what they thought.
~*flashback*~
Kagome was the rightful one to make the wish and everyone knew it; she closed her eyes, folded her hands in front of her heart, and began to pray.
She prayed that everyone found happiness, and that joy and peace would be brought to the world and all those in it.
She let a silent tear fall she wanted everyone to be happy even though she may never be, everyone watched in amazement as she was lifted up above the ground and a bright pink light surrounded her.
She heard a female’s voice in her head; the woman was the Shikon Miko herself she told Kagome "Kagome, thank you for your wish. You are the only one to be able to make such a wish because of your purity and your heart.
The jewel will become one with you again and no one will ever know except you, for if anyone found out many demons and humans will attempt to try and take it again. Keep it safe Kagome."
~*End Flashback*~
After that day Kagome tried to go home but only to discover she couldn't, it’s been 2 years since that dreadful day.
She hoped as the days passed that she would be able to pass through again, but one day while she was out trying to pass through the well again, something was urging her to meditate the urge only became more stronger as she was walking towards the village again.
She passed the sacred tree and decided to meditate there, she sat at the base of the tree and began her meditation; she closed her eyes, crossed her legs and folded her hands in the praying position and relaxed.
A moment later she heard the Shikon Miko’s voice again and opened her eyes....
Dream Sequence
"What’s going on, why can I not pass through the well now?" Kagome asked.
The older Miko looked into her eyes and said "Kagome you are unable to pass because the Kamis see it fit you stay in this era. You will see your mother and family but it will be 500 years from now. You are the Shikon Miko now the Kamis say you need to be here and to help this time thrive. For if you don't your time will not come. This was in your fate and it is sealed."
Kagome was in pure shock she said "How am I supposed to wait for my time, I’m a human!" she all but yelled, tears formed into her eyes and streamed down her face. The older Miko looked at her and felt pity, she walked towards the younger Miko, wrapped her arms around her and allowed Kagome to cry.
Kagome asked again "How am I going to wait for my time when I have the life span of a human?"
the older Miko pulled away, looked at Kagome, while she wiped away her tears she began to speak "Kagome I know this is hard but you will see your family again, you will have the life span that is equal to a demons such as Lord Sesshoumaru's if not longer. It’s not a bad thing once you think about it I promise, the Kamis will watch over you as you will watch over the ones you love."
Kagome looked up and asked "So now what do I do?" the older Miko smiled and said "Train and become the powerful Miko you were born to become." With that the older Miko vanished leaving Kagome alone.
~*End Dream Sequence*~
After that time with the older Miko she did as she was told she began to train, two years later after blood, sweat, and tears she finally became the Miko she was born to become.
She traveled around the lands; helping those who needed help and help healing the sick.
Kikyo was one of the one's she had to help heal and restore, she knew deep down in her soul she could never be with Inuyasha and she was right the day they found Kikyo laying in a meadow on their way to a nearby village.
Kikyo’s body was failing and soon what little soul she could hold onto of hers and Kagome’s soul would go back to Kagome's body.
After 3 days of spiritual magic, and work she manage to construct Kikyo a real body she even gave Kikyo the rest of her soul. She managed to separate the souls and put Kikyo’s soul in Kikyo’s body and put her soul in her body.
Kagome stepped outside for some fresh air and to stretch when Inuyasha came bounding up to her, "Is she ok?"
Without looking at him she smiled and said "Why don't you go ask her yourself?”
Without another word he went and checked on her, she could hear him laughing, she walked in only to be tackled by Inuyasha thanking and hugging her.
After she got up, she told them to give her body a few months before he tried marking her or mating and let her work settle, only after she has had 6 monthly cycles can they be sure if it worked.
After a few hours they started back to the nearby village.
It’s been 7 months since that day and fall was coming around the corner and so Inuyasha and Kikyo were off to become mates, she was happy for them they deserved it.
Sango watched her sister stare off into the place where Kikyo and Inuyasha left; she was so worried Kagome seemed so different since she made the wish.
She hoped her sister would be okay, "Kagome I’m going to the hot springs do you want to come?"
Kagome looked to Sango and smiled "Of course."
Miroku asked if they were going to be ok alone and Sango nodded just in case Sango grabbed her weapon and Kagome grabbed her bow and arrows.
With that they both left for the hot springs.
Once there the slipped off their clothes and eased in; they relaxed in silence for a bit before Sango spoke up "Kagome are you okay, it’s been two years since the wish was made and the well closed and you seem so depressed still. Are you okay?"
Kagome turned and gave a small smile to her sister, she thought about her reply for a moment before she said "Sango everything changed so fast one minute I’m just an average 15 year old girl who goes to school does her homework, hangs out with her friends, goes to sleep wakes up the next morning and starts all over, then I fall down the well, find out I have a jewel inside me, I shatter it, then I have to travel all over Japan in a race to find it before an evil hanyou does, now here I am the Shikon Miko the full reincarnation of the Miko who created the jewel and I can’t go home I have to wait 500 years before I can see my family again.” She paused for a moment to hold back the tears before she spoke again. “It’s been a trying 6 years Sango."
Kagome sunk down into the water and tried to relax, but she felt a familiar aura she turned to see Kikyo walking towards them.
Sango still didn't like her, but she and Kagome had a good friendship so she didn't say anything.
Kikyo walked towards them and with a smile asked if she could join them for a bath, Kagome gave her a smile and nodded.
Kikyo undressed herself and eased into the water with a relaxed and content smile, Kikyo looked over to Kagome and said "Kagome, I haven't had a chance to really thank you for what you did, I will never be able to repay you for it."
Kagome turned her head away from her and moved her eyes towards the night sky and said "I did it not only for you but I did it for Inuyasha too so that you and he can have a second chance to have the life and family that you and he deserve."
With a nod of her head Kikyo once again thanked Kagome; they all bathed, washed their hair, afterwards they relaxed a bit longer.
Kikyo was the first to get out and go back to camp, but not before she gave Sango and Kagome a friendly hug and told them she would see them at camp.
Sango looked at Kagome and said "She has changed a lot since you did what you did for her." Kagome smiled gently and agreed.
Kagome looked up in time to see Sango stiffing and her eyes narrow.
Kagome did not have to turn around to know who it was; without turning around she got out of the hot spring, went to the tree grabbed her robe, and slid it on. Only then did she turn around; with a bow she said "Greetings Lord Sesshoumaru is it that time again for us to meet?
