Chapter Two
An Offer
--------------------0o0-------------------
Feeling her heart break, Kagome went completely limp in InuYasha's arms,
accepting her fate. After all, what else could she do? She loved InuYasha and
would have done whatever it took to make him happy.
'Why should I care? He never cared for me...' Kagome just wished
that she had been given a chance to say good-bye to the others first.
InuYasha drug Kagome over to where Kikyou stood with a rope in hand. As
they set about tying her to a tree, Kagome was lost in her thoughts and
memories. But it was a particularly fond one of Shippou cuddling close to her
at night that had Kagome struggling against her bonds.
'I have to get out of here! I can't just let them kill me! I want to
live, he needs me to live...oh god, someone help me!!' She couldn't break
free and Kagome felt tears beginning to fill her eyes as she decided to try one
other thing, "why...why are you doing this?"
Finishing off the knot he had been tying, InuYasha took a step back,
letting his eyes meet Kagome's. "Why? Because, Kikyou needs to live and in
order to do that she must have the rest of her soul. Only Kikyou and myself can
defeat Naraku, you are but a girl Kagome and are nothing but a copy..."
Shaking as his words sank into her mind, Kagome shook her head as she
thrashed, straining against her bonds once more. "This is wrong InuYasha
and you know it! Please, don't do this! You don't want to do this!"
But InuYasha just seemed to ignore her as he turned to Kikyou. Taking her
hand in his, he led her several feet away from Kagome before he finally
stopped. Turning to face Kagome, InuYasha reached down and pulled the
Tetsusiaga from her scabbard, transforming it in the process.
Feeling her tears start to stream down her cheeks, Kagome trembled where
she stood, "please..." InuYasha's face was devoid of emotion as he
lifted Tetsusiaga, preparing to use the wind scar.
But then something happened, something that Kagome would never forget for
as long as she lived.
The Tetsusiaga pulsed as it was bathed in a dark purple light, InuYasha
cried out in pain as the hilt sparked, burning his hand as it's barrier was
once again raised.
InuYasha dropped the sword, shock and confusion filling his face as he
looked at his hand, which now had scorch marks on his palm. "Wha..."
Before he could even finish his comment, the Tetsusiaga's scabbard flew from
his side, embedining itself in the ground at Kagome's feet.
The Tetsusiaga then rose into the air, the entire blade still bathed in
that same purple light as it followed after the scabbard, only coming to a
floating stop before Kagome. Kagome blinked in surprise and confusion as she
stared at the blade, it had begun pulsing again but what was really strange was
that the pulses were timed with the beat of her heart.
As if on impulse, Kagome raised her right hand, reaching out to touch the
blade. The moment her skin met the cool metal of the sword, the light faded and
the sword changed, transforming into something completely different than
before.
Upon the hilt and tang of the blade sat a dragon, one that wound its way
down the hilt and onto the blade itself, leather wrapped the hilt beneath it.
The blade looked like it normally did when not transformed, but there was a
rather big difference. Not one knick, scratch or smudge graced the finely
polished steel, it was as if the blade had just been forged.
The awe was clearly written upon Kagome's face as she gripped the hilt,
letting her eyes lovingly roam to sword as she held it high before her. Well,
as high as she could while still being tied to a tree.
A dull sort of buzzing sensation began to drift through her, it was a
familiar sensation, one that she had experienced only once before. When she had
first freed the Tetsusiaga.
'Kagome...' Her eyes blew wide as a deep masculine voice
filled her head, immediately her eyes focused completely upon the sword before
her, 'Tetsusiaga? Is...is that you?'
A low chuckle was the reply Kagome received and it made her feel,
strangely...happy.
'Hai. Do you remember when we first spoke my child?'
Shaking lightly, Kagome nodded her head, not caring if the Tetsusiaga saw her
or not.
'Good, then you should understand why I have left the boy's side
and returned to yours, milady.' Biting her lip, Kagome spared a glance
at where InuYasha stood, fuming silently. He had apparently recognized what was
going on, after all, he had conversed with the Tetsusiaga once or twice as
well.
'But...I can't wield you...I don't know how to use a sword.
What...what should I do?' It was frightening to say the least. Kagome knew
that one day she would have to learn to protect herself, but she was still
inexperienced and it frightened her to think of trying to fight all by herself.
'Worry not, for I have something to offer...if you would be willing
to hear me out that is.' Her gut twisting, Kagome took a deep breath,
trying to steady herself for whatever Tetsusiaga was planning on telling her.
'Go ahead, I'm listening.' The Tetsusiaga shifted in her hand, as
if it was pleased that she was willing to take a chance.
'There is another willing to protect you, one who would cherish you
and never leave your side. His love for you is strong and he would make a
suitable mate, you would be well protected. But are you willing to accept him
and place your life in his hands?'
Kagome felt her heart freeze in her chest, her mouth falling open in
muted surprise. 'But...who would ever care for me that way?' Kagome's
mind began sifting through all the possibilities and the only one that stood
out was Kouga, but Kagome knew that he couldn't possibly be the one. He was
promised to Ayame after all.
The sound of Tetsusiaga's rumbling laughter snapped her back to reality
and Kagome couldn't stop her face from contorting in confusion. 'You are
correct, that wolf-demon is not the one of which I speak, he is far too weak
for such a calling anyway. But our time is short. You must decide quickly,
before it is too late and he is out of my range.'
Tightening her hand about the Tetsusiaga's hilt, Kagome let her eyes
flicker between the now approaching InuYasha and the sword in her hand. She
wished that she had more time, but it seemed that her wish wouldn't be granted.
Taking a deep breath, Kagome let her eyes close as she made her choice. 'Alright.
I trust your judgment Tetsusiaga, I accept this new protector you have chosen
for me. I just hope that you’re right about all this.'
'I hope as such as well. Look to the tree's Kagome, your new
protector will reveal himself to you, you shall feel him before shows himself.
And worry not about the boy, as long as my barrier is intact, only those you or
I allow will be able to pass through.'
As the pulsing stopped, Kagome lowered her arm, digging the tip of
Tetsusiaga into the ground at her side. Kagome focused her eyes upon the
tree-line, completely ignoring InuYasha's hiss of pain as he once more came
into contact with the Tetsusiaga's barrier.
It seemed to take forever, but Kagome could feel him just as Tetsusiaga
had told her. A warmth that she had never felt before descended upon her, a
warmth that soothed her broken heart and made a spark of hope rise within her.
He was close. Kagome trailed her eyes along the trees until they feel
upon a shadowed figure that was standing underneath one rather large tree. She
mutely heard InuYasha's curse as he froze and whirled, his hands held ready as
he uttered a name.
A name that Kagome knew all too well.
"Sesshoumaru."
