Unbreak My Heart

8.8 – If I could turn back time

-- last chapter…

The kitsune watched the rapid scene unfold in what seemed like slow motion.
Miroku had pushed Sango to the ground in desperation to protect her from the
attack. Inuyasha was in the middle of it all, his body hang limply from the
huge beast youkai’s jaws. The Tetsusaiga lay on the ground now fully shrunk to
its original rusted form.

There was so much blood the small kit felt nauseous from its intense smell. It
was only when he realised where or whom the blood was coming from.

Inuyasha.

Eerie silence filled the fox-cubs sensitive ears. The sickly mustered smell of
fresh blood filtered through his nose. The brownish darkened red tint that
tainted the ground plagued his sight.

Inuyasha…

Then everything went dark…the last of his thoughts clear.

They both left me…

-- continuation…

Kagome’s feet touched the bottom of the old well with a soft thud. Sighing, she
sadly lowered her aching head; she was on the brink of tears when her knees
were brought to the ground.

Sobbing in anguish, her heart was aching inside of her chest. The hot tears
rolled off her cheeks to the floor below, nothing mattered anymore, and nothing
would be the same. She had given up Inuyasha-she would never see him again. It
hurt more than anything, the pain she felt in her head was nothing compared to
the ache in her heart. Her soul. Her whole.

The well house held no comfort as she wrapped her arms over her chest in
desperate need of warmth. Her bodiverivered and wracked between her sobbing.
Did she make the right choice? Her small finger lingered over her, lips trying
to savour the taste of Inuyasha. she still felt the burning bittersweet tension
between her thighs from his soft caresses. The memories of his strong arms
holding her as they combined as one, the heated scent of his arousal still lingering
over her clothes and skin. Gods she missed him all ready. How was she going to
get through this without him?

Tears were burning her eyes once more when she shook herself out of her
thoughts. She stood up on shaky legs and made her way to the ladder preparing
herself to face her family.

As she pulled herself up and over the edge of the well a rush of wind brushed
passed the back of her exposed neck causing Kagome to reflexively shiver under
its caress; slowly she turned her head toward the source of the warning aura.
Her Miko senses instantly kicking in when her eyes lay upon shadowed piercing
orbs watching her from the corner of the well house.

Wide-eyed, Kagome swallowed back the ear-splitting thumping she felt in her
heart. “W-wha…who?” she began, stepping back from the lip of the well.

The piercing eyes blinked and drew closer to the semi-fearful girl, its demon
features now clearly seen under the cracks of light that shone through the gaps
of the well house. “Don’t be afraid,” it reassured her.

Kagome gasped, “H-how…oh gods…” Her head was spinning, then suddenly her body
seemed to feel heavy, weighing her down.

”Kag-oh shit! No!” The demon kept its distance but offered a clawed hand out
just in time to catch the girl as she fainted. “Shit, Kagome you’re not
supposed to faint!” It sighed, pulling her into its chest to affectionately run
its clawed hand through her mass of black hair.

--

The
jyaki was blinding, its thick fog spread like wild fire. It surrounded the well
and forest with its coarse density. Miroku stood a ways from the fallen hanyou,
his eyes concentrated on the ragged breathing Inuyasha took, as he lay
unconscious on the ground in a pool of his own blood. ‘Inuyasha don’t die on
us now’ he shivered before urgently searching the area for Sango and the
fox-cub.

“SANGO!” He paled as a huge clawed hand backhanded her into a large tree. The
monk’s anger flared as the girl of his not-so secret affections lay limp
under the force of the hit. ‘I never thought I’d actually miss the fact I
have no Kazaana!’ his mind screamed as he yipped lunging himself and his
staff toward the beast’s body.

Shippo watched with widen-eyes as the monk brought down the beast with a single
blow, but with no avail. The beast was only dazed and got up almost instantly,
whipping its body toward the priest. With a wild roar the colossal demon took
another swipe with its clawed hand in Miroku’s direction.

”Miroku, watch out!” Shippo screamed from where he protectively gripped onto
Inuyasha’s limp and broken form.

The monk would not give up that easily, he had to vanquish this demon. He could
not let his friends down. He knew Shippo were alive and safe near Inuyasha for
the time being, but Sango…she was on the other side of the forest. His raging
thoughts and feelings had gotten the better of him and his own life meant
nothing without Sango at his side. He would be damned if he would let this
demon take what they all survived through a few months ago.

--

Kagome woke with a jolt. Her breathing caught short as she lifted her hand to
rub the painful throbbing in her head.

”Kagome…are you alright?” A husky male voice asked.

Her head was spinning and her sight had yet to adjust, ‘Kagome…are you
alright?’ Someone asked her, his voice full of concern, but she did not
recognise who this male-youkai was.

Blinking the haziness out of her eyes she looked up at the presence. “I guess…”
She whispered under her breath. Her eyesight now returning to reveal the
persona of the demon above her.

His hair was neatly tied back off his face; his eyes were sparkling under the
moonlight reflecting his cat-like slits. Pointy ears and nicely shaped fangs
finished his demonic features off perfectly. It was the tail that gave away the
most, its beautiful bushy appearance swayed along with the slight breeze.

Kagome’s smile grew she was looking at a fully grown and now older, ”Shippo?”

His grin grew as he proudly puffed up his chest and winked. “Now you recognise
me? Why’d you faint like that, Kagome?”

”Shippo-how-why-what—“She stammered with awe. He is gorgeous. She
shivered and shook her head of that very disturbing thought.

”Kagome! I have to tell you something important!” He deemed helping the girl up
from the ground effortlessly.

Kagome swayed slightly her head rush catching up to her momentarily. Shippo
held onto her tightly and as she felt her cheeks redden with
embarrassment. “Arigatou, Shippo-kun”
She meekly thanked.

It was his turn to flush. It had been 500 years since he last spoke to Kagome;
he had not expected her to say his name like that. He swallowed hard before
continuing, “Kagome, you have to go back through the well.” He nodded at her
confused gaze, “before you say you can’t, you have to!”

Kagome gaped up at him, “Shippo…”

”Don’t talk, just listen.” He interrupted putting his hands upon her shoulders
keeping eye contact seriously. “You have to go back. Don’t worry about the
shrine I’ve sorted it. That’s all you need to know about that at the moment.
What’s more important is that you go back through the well!”

Kagome shook her head and diverted her gaze, “Shippo-kun, I can’t.”

Shippo brought his hand to her chin and cupped it gently, bringing her gaze
back to his face. “Please” His serious tone of voice clenched at her heart.

”I-I don’t understand…” She replied, her own voice raspy under his intense
look.

”Kagome, something bad happened after you left. You have to go back, please!”
He beseeched her, dropping to his knees.
“Listen, I’ve thought about this for over 500 years…I’m mated-married I
have no kin, but I-my mate and I have spoken about this day. To give up my life
for you and Inuyasha, I would go the distance for both of you.”

”Shippo, what are you trying to tell me?” She asked, feeling the familiar
burning sensation in the corner of her eyes.

Shippo took a long breath and sighed hunching his shoulders solemnly, “After
you left, things changed. Inuyasha-he never came back. I stayed with Sango and
Miroku for a while before I was strong enough to search for him.” It was his
turn to divert his eyes; “Rumours of his death seemed to follow me around for
months. I never believed it though-but a part of me knew I’d never find him
alive…he was never the same without you, Kagome. He was weak and pathetic to
give up just like that!”

”Shippo…please don’t tell me anymore. Please.” Kagome sobbed

He looked up at her long and hard, “No, I have to tell you! You have to go
back, go back and change what has and will happen if you don’t
go back right now!” He pushed down on her shoulders forcing her attention,
“Kagome, don’t you understand? I’m giving up my life now for Inuyasha, for you
and for me! I’ve said goodbye to my mate-she…she said she understood…” He
lowered his voice just above a whisper, “You have to do this…”

Kagome shook her head the tears now freely escaped hees. es. “But-but how can I
change what’s already happened? What about the shrine? I can’t go back! I can’t
destroy what life you’ve got with your wife!” She wanted to say so many other
things – to plead with him. He stood to his feet and picked her up into his
arms.

”Kagome. I’ll be alright once you go back…” He flashed her a weak smile. “I--
my mate and I won’t even know of this life. Besides…I know I’ll meet her again,
someday.”

Kagome watched him carefully for any slight hint of hesitation, “Shippo…” She
whispered bringing a shaky hand to caress his cheek.

His strong hold loosened allowing her to climb onto the well with ease, she
took a quick glance down its depths before pulling her gaze back to the
older-looking Kitsune she loved as a son. “Shippo, I will never forget this.
For everything you’ve done today, for everything you’ve given up.”

He flashed her a fanged grin and pinched her cheek, “I got to do something to
help my friends and family. I just want you and Inuyasha back.”

Kagome smiled and nodded, “What about the shrine? Mama will be worried…she-”

A clawed finger hushed hordsords as it was brought to her lips, “I told you,
I’ve sorted it. The shrine won’t be knocked down. You just have to remember one
thing before you go. Sign Inuyasha’s deeds over to me as your next of kin and
I’ll do the rest when the time comes to save the shrine form the councils
plans.”

Kagome’s eyes widened, “Nani?”

The Kitsune-youkai chuckled, before seriously looking her in the eye. “Be careful,
there’s a massive demon waiting for you and the Shikon no Tama on the other
side.”

Kagome nodded, “Hai”

Shippo leaned over her and kissed her forehead, “O’negai shimasu” He whispered
into her ear before gently pushing her away from him.

As she plummeted into its depths she watched him smile and disappear into
nothing but dust. She would never let him down ever again. With her thoughts
clear she let the light of the magic consume her its powers awakening the well
on the other side.

--

The well’s sudden burst of energy seemed to bring Miroku out of his wrath, his
eyes set upon the streaming light that blew up from inside the portal. It
twisted up into whirlwind, while flakes of pure energy crackled from its
streams of electrifying currents as it whipped and twisted in to a mini tornado
lashing out at the jyaki that tried to consume it.

A shadow of a figure positioned inside of its raging depths. With a crack of
lightning the twister spilt into two revealing the person that situated inside
of its whole. She wore traditional miko robes the colour of red and white
brightly clear to the monk’s eyes. Long black hflewflew above her head swaying
violently under the force of the momentum caused by the twisters currents.

”Kikyo-sama?” Miroku breathed squinting slightly under another flash of
brightly intensified light. ‘No…’ his mind corrected him.

Shippo peeked up from Inuyasha’s shoulder, eyes widening at the sight in front
of him. “KAGOME!”

”Kagome-sama!” Miroku echoed as the girl from the future cracked her eyes open
revealing its blue depths. She never answered the confused calls her friends
made, her mind focused only on the task at hand.

The massive demon eyed the puny human girl, he smiled through bloodied coated
bangs. His eyes sorting out the strange aura that surrounded her.

”Shikon no Tama” It seethed through blood stained fangs. A clawed hand reached
out to slash at her. Kagome stood her ground not even flinching as the demonic
creature attempted to rip her in half to get to the jewel that lay heavily
around her neck.

She smiled uncharacteristically, the sarcasm pouring from her confident smirk.
“You think you are worthy of such a power?” She spoke mechanically.

The demon growled much like an Inu-youkai, but this was not dog-demon, this was
something less worthy than that of any dog or wolf youkai. Kagome laughed once
again, while reaching to clutch the ball of desire.

”Give me the Shikon no Tama and I will spare your life, wench.” It grunted in
reply taking a step closer toward her and lifting its swiping claw above her.

Once again, Kagome stood her ground her confident smirk never faulting as the
demons claw ploughed into her force field blowing the demon off its feet.

”I told you, youkai. What makes you think you are worthy of this kind of
power?” She asked once more, taking her time to walk closer to the fallen
creature. Her ears only now picking up her friends pleas.

”Kagome-sama! Don’t!”

She came to a halt and looked over her shoulder, focussing on Miroku.
“Miroku-sama, please do not interrupt me.” She politely, but firmly corrected
him.

Miroku approached her cautiously, “Kagome-sama, Sango is beyond that beast. She
is unconscious.” He informed her.

Kagome nodded, “Miroku can you get to her if I keep this thing busy?”

Miroku bowed his head slightly and grinned, “For my lady”

Kagome’s attention was brought back upon the demon that thrashed about in pain.
“Pathetic” she spat in disgust, even a demon of this demeanour cowered
over a small amount of pain. ”I should finish you now, just to put you out of
your misery.” She continued as the large demon got to its feet.

It eyes, now blood red, drilled through her gaze as it twisted its body around
to hit Miroku and the already unconscious Sango. Kagome narrowed her eyes, “Oh
no you don’t!” She yelled, bringing her other free hand out and letting loose a
huge amount of miko energy mixed with tinges of electricity that whipped around
the miko aura contently.

It hit its target straight on and brought the beast instantly to its knees. It
roared angrily with pain and back slashed Miroku in attempt to move toward the
miko who had hit him.

”BITCH!” It sneered as Kagome watched Miroku and Sango fall to the ground in a
heap. Her own eyes flared, its blue depths now raging with pure black liquid.

”YOU WILL DIE!” She screamed, letting both her hands take a hold of the Shikon
no Tama. The bright burst of purple and white energy thrashed between her palms
only just blazing through the cracks of her fingers.

The demon snarled baring its huge fangs ominously as it took at such a speed
the ground was left with whiplash of fiery blazed marks.

Kagome’s arms outstretched as the Shikon no Tama absorbed her miko aura pulling
it into its own depths. The demon’s clawed hand contacted the field once more,
but this time continued on through it, breaking its power and snapping Kagome
up into its huge palm.

Kagome concentrated on the power within the jewel between her hands, she had to
keep herself focused or she would lose what was built up already. When the
youkai took her into itself she only smiled knowingly. The youkai had just made
its last mistake.

The demonic creature lifted her high above the ground and mockingly snarled.
“Now look who’s going to die”

Kagome did not answer but kept her eyes focused upon its own ugly red ones. The
demon laughed at the girl’s confident façade. “You’ll end up just like that
pathetic half-breed over there,” he mocked.

That was Kagome’s breaking point.

Kagome’s whole body tensed and violently hummed under the huge clawed hands,
the demons eyes widened when the small girl began to glow with eye piercing
bright light that burnt at his skin. He let go of the human and took a step
back as she hung in the air shrouded in pure brilliant light.

Shippo covered his eyes and huddled closer into Inuyasha desperately pleading
with the hanyou to wake up and move.
“Inuyasha, please wake up! Inuyasha, I won’t leave you here, but Kagome
looks pissed and its scary.” He gulped tugging on the Inu-hanyous ears.

Inuyasha grunted slightly “Ite-e!” He mumbled bringing up a hand to swat away
the annoyance of whatever was pulling on his ear.

”Inuyasha!” The kit screeched, causing Inuyasha to flinch and jerk up into a
sitting position, but instantly regretting it when his whole body seemed to
plague him with pain. “Inuyasha, we need to move away from Kagome!” Shippo
wailed gripping onto what was left of his haori.

”Kagome…” Inuyasha’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Shippo was tugging and pulling on the dog-demons clothing begging for him to
move out of the light that was burning at both of them. “Shippo” Inuyasha
growled erouerously toward the fox-cub, “You little brat, hide!”

”NO! I won’t leave you!” He pouted and huddled himself into Inuyasha’s chest.
“I’m not going to leave you here!”

”Grrrr, Shippo.” Inuyasha snarled dragging himself and his limp form away from
the heated Miko’s energy.

Kagome’s whole being was now blindingly invisible to the demons eyes. Like the
cowardly thing he had done before, he tried to retreat but Kagome only lashed
out with miko energy in every direction causing the demon to cringe back into a
frozen like state.

Her heart thud and her breathing seemed
to be getting heavy as she stooth wth widened eyes.

**’Thy miko powers are stirring.

Ye have let thy miko powers control ye, rather than take control of them.’

Once I am gone. Ye will be thee last…

…Ye will understand in time.’

Kaede-bachan…

Thump.

’To give up my life for you and Inuyasha, I would go the distance for both of
you’

Shippo-chan…

Thump. Thump.

’You shall be greatly missed, I think of you as my le sle sister you know,
my only…living family’

Sango-chan…

Thump. Thump. Thump.

The Shikon no Tama combined with her own miko purity seemed to pump through her
veins, pulling all its energy from within her very being. Her breath came in
pants as she clenched her teeth together in resolve of the thudding she felt as
it pumped and circulated inside of her.

She understood now what Kaede was trying to tell her. She was right. She had to
believe in her own power. She had already believed once. Her friends-family
needed her now.

The jewel between her hands stopped glowing and seemed to calm within her as
though it finally bonded once again within her being. Kagome felt the massive
settlement curse through her body causing her to shiver involuntary, but what
was she feeling?

Whole.

Her eyes flung open, once again focussing on the demon that had been frozen to
the spot. “I ask you again. Who are you to think you are worthy of such a t
pt
power?”

The demons eyes lit up just as she swung another large bolt of energy toward
the beast. It shrunk back when it hit the ground just before its feet.

”Well, answer me?” she demanded holding her gaze upon the creature.

”If you attack me with that power it will hit those worthless humans behind
me.” He confidently spat back.

Kagome ignored the demons pathetic attempts to slow her down. “I want an
answer.” She repeated charging up yet another blast of heated energy.

The demon smirked, “I want this Shikon no Tama. It calls for me.”

Kagome made no attempt to answer the demons demand; her face laid no emotion as
she let go of the whipping energy from her fingertips. It hit the demon and
instantly dusted him to nothing.

Miroku stood with a slightly dazed Sango in his arms as he watched Kagome’s
actions. She stood above the vanquished creature, streaminght sht still whirled
around her and lit her features. Her hair flew above her and around her
shoulders.

Shippo tightly held onto Inuyasha moving his gaze upward to the girl he called
mother. “Kagome…” He whispered feeling the hanyou struggle to move, he diverted
his eyes away from her and set them upon Inuyasha once more. “Inuyasha, don’t
move!” He begged.

To Late.

Inuyasha regretted the sharp movement when he blacked out once more, but not
before hearing Kagome’s voice his his name.

Inuyasha!
