Fate Of Awaking Love by SesshoumarusLover4Ever

Prologue

Prologue:

Kagome stood on the side watching the battle from afar. It was for her own safety, at least that's what InuYasha had told her. Miroku and Sango were the first to fall into death's hand in the far beginning of the war with Naraku, and no one knew where Shippo disappeared to, or if he was even alive. Kagome watched as Naraku flung InuYasha across the dry earth's dirt. InuYasha struggled to get to his feet. His body was aching and sore, and ready to give up on him at any moment. He grabbed tetsusaiga and used it to steadily pull him to his feet, and hold him up. Loosing now was not an option. He and his friends have gotten too far to give up now. Naraku had to die. He had to die now even if it took his life in the process.

Kagome watched as Kikyo released her scarce arrow aiming straight for Naraku, who was pitifully laughing at InuYasha in his weak state, and the arrow penetrated his heart Kikyo stepped forward and so did Kagome and they yelled. "Now InuYasha!"

InuYasha did as he was told and took the advantage Kikyo had just given him. He lifted Tetsusaiga above his head, strong winds now forming around the blade that was once his father's fang, and slashed it straight through Naraku's body slicing him into two. Naraku's screams could be heard in the distance as his body slowly dissolved into the air. InuYasha collapsed to the ground. He was weak, tired, and badly injured. Kagome stepped forward, but stopped and watched Kikyo gently pull InuYasha's head into her lap, and he took her hand into his.

"We won Kikyo," he whispered. "It's now over. We can be together forever now."

Kikyo smiled. "Yes InuYasha, forever."

Kagome stepped backwards and tripped over a twig causing her to fall over. Tears stung her eyes not from the fall but from how InuYasha quickly forgot about her when Kikyo was in his presence. Her tears over flowed her eye as she began to sob. Sesshoumaru stood behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder. He felt her stiffen.

"S-Sesshoumaru-dono?" She stuttered.

"Yes Kagome, it's me." He said softly.

Kagome turned around and jumped into Sesshoumaru's arms, wrapping her arms around his neck, and buried her face into his shoulders she began to sob. Sesshoumaru frowned and wrapped his arm Kagome's back.

"Things will get better Kagome. Time will tell." Sesshoumaru whispered.

Sesshoumaru joined InuYasha in his mission awhile back, for he too wanted Naraku dead. The experience of working on a team had changed him, but mostly Kagome had changed him. She showed him friendship when on one else would. She trusted him when the other did not and would not. He knew he didn't deserve that for the many times he had tried killing her. He didn't understand, but for the first time in his life he understood what friendship really was and treasured the feeling.
