A few days have past since Inuyasha and Kagome passed out. Everyone was worried about them. But they all knew that Inuyasha would be alright. But as for Kagome it was hard to tell. Inuyasha was a half demon so he would heal faster. Kagome on the hand she was human and no one knew if she would be alright. Miroku checked over Inuyasha as he thought "hm... Inuyasha seems to be alright. His breathing is normal. His pulse is good. Guess he'll be alright. But what about Kagome?"
In the other room Kagome was sound asleep. Sango and Shippo were looking after her. But they weren't sure if she would wake up. There was no telling what could have happened. Both Kagome and Inuyasha share the same soul now. It was never heard of. No demon or half demon have ever split his our her soul to save someone else. It was unheard of.
There was no telling what could happen next. What if Kagome and Inuyasha would never wake up? What if they would be asleep forever? Those thoughts ran through Sango's mind. Than she was brought out of her thoughts when she heard someone knocking on the door. Sango calmly said "come in."
Than the door opened. But it was someone she wasn't expecting to see awake yet. Standing at the door way was Inuyasha. Awake with a concern look in his eyes. He slowly walked up to Kagome and took a set next to her. Not even noticing Sango's stare or her at all. Let alone Shippo being there.
Shippo calmly asked "Captain, what are you doing here?" Inuyasha stared at Shippo for a second than turned back to Kagome. He calmly said "I'm here cause Kagome and I share the same soul. I want to be near her at all times. I just don't want to be apart from her unless she wants to be alone. Also... this could be the last time I'll ever see her ever again. We're close to the treasure. It's going to be very dangerous. We could die in there."
Sango was confused as she asked "what do you mean?" Inuyasha sighed sadly as he said "I've heard that many people tried to get that treasure and all have failed. They were killed cause they didn't have the two objects they needed. I've also heard that the objects have to be of both demonic and sacred power. But no one truly knows what they are. But I have an idea on what it could be. It's only an idea but I'm sure that it'll work. But if it doesn't I want you to take Kagome and leave."
Shippo and Sango both nodded. Shippo calmly asked "but what could happen? You're a half demon Inuyasha." He nodded as he said "that's true Shippo. But that doesn't matter. Full and half demons go in but they never came back out. They were killed by the traps in that cave."
Than Miroku came in and said "Captain. We're close to the island. We should be there in five minutes." Inuyasha nodded without looking at his best friend. He wouldn't look at anyone at the moment. Inuyasha just kept his gaze on the girl who had captured his heart. Everyone left the room leaving the half demon captain alone with the girl he loves.
Miroku calmly said "I know that Inuyasha loves Kagome. But... what if Inuyasha doesn't come back from the cave alive? What would Kagome do? She was already heart broken before. I don't think that she could bear it again." Sango nodded as she said "well... I'm guessing that Kagome would do anything to be with him... Even ending her life if he wasn't alive anymore."
Everyone shivered at that thought. They all cared for Kagome as a friend/sister. None of them would want Kagome to end her life. Even if it was to be with the man she loved with all her heart, her soul, her very being. They just couldn't bare it. None of them could or would bare it. It would just tare them apart if Kagome ever did that.
Than they all went to the front of the ship. They all looked out at the open sea. Watching everything that went by the ship as they waited for the journey to end. Inuyasha's dream would come true at last. Getting this treasure would help him save many lives. Shippo calmly said "so... what do you think will happen between Inuyasha and Kagome once this is all over?" Sango and Miroku had wondered the same thing.
They both knew that everyone in Kagome's village thought that she was dead since she never went back. Not to mention she was in love with a half demon. Everyone in her village were human and didn't believe that a human and a demon let alone a half demon could ever fall in love. Or be together. A humans and a demon's/half demon's relations were forbidden in her old village so Inuyasha and Kagome would have to go to a new village where their love would be accepted. But where would such a village be?
Than when they came out of their thoughts they saw that they had arrived at their destination. The island had dark clouds over it. It looked almost as if it were haunted by ghosts or something. (ok I'm not good with the scary stuff so just bare with me please)
Inuyashafelt that the ship had stopped moving and right away he knew that they had finally arrived. He slowly shook Kagome saying "Kagome wake up. It's time to wake up." Than Kagome slowly opened her eyes and when she saw the person that was slowly shaking her she smiled. Kagome happily said "hello Inuyasha... You aren't a dream are you?" He chuckled as he said "nope. I'm really Kagome. I ain't a dream. Everything really did happen."
Kagome couldn't help but smile. She really did save Inuyasha. Sharing the same soul must have also happened. She could feel everything he was feeling. But sadly she couldn't listen to his thoughts like she'd like too. But in a way she knew what he was thinking. He loved her more than life and he would protect her with his life to the very end. Than she sat up and said "so... We really do share the same soul now?"
He nodded as he said "yes. I gave up my human soul to save you remember?" She nodded as he continued "than I went berserk as a full demon since I had no human soul. I don't remember what happened after that but you kissing me. Splitting my- our soul in half giving me half and you keeping the other half. We both fainted after that. I... I never knew that it was possible for that to happen but than again I never expected to fall in love either."
Than Kagome stood up and said "what now Inuyasha?" Inuyasha stared at Kagome with loving eyes as he leaned closer than kissing her. But something was different about this kiss. It was like it could have been the last one he would ever give her. Almost as if he was saying good bye to her. But why would he want to give her that kind of kiss? Those thoughts ran through Kagome's mind.
Than the half demon broke the kiss and grabbed Kagome's hand. They both walked off of the ship and walked deep into the cave. Deep in the cave it was dark and creepy. There were bats hanging on the top of the cave. Spider webs left and right. Everywhere you looked there were spiderwebs. Right away Kagome knew that this had to be the same cave Inuyasha had been looking for.
Inuyasha felt Kagome's fear and he calmly said "don't worry Kagome. I won't let anything happen to you." Kagome smiled a bit hearing his words. But she still couldn't help but feel scared. Than she saw the skeletons scattered everywhere. A few of them looked kinda new cause they still had some flesh rotting off and blood still clung to them. (sorry if it's not scary I don't watch any scary movies at all so I'm horrible at it)
Kagome than heard some rats, mice and snakes. All of that scared her. But she had a bad feeling that something bad might no not might would happen. She wasn't sure. But it was something. Than they saw something up ahead. It was a gold tablet. On it was ancient writing. Kagome stared at it trying to read it. But sadly she had no luck.
Inuyasha calmly said "it says "the objects of demonic powers and the object of sacred powers may open this lock. But only the ones with love of a different breed of life may get the treasure. Love shall conquer all. A true test shall prove of worthiness of the treasure may continue.""
Kagome was confused as she asked "how did you know what it said?" Inuyasha calmly said "this is a old language that all demons know about. I may only be half demon but I still know it. Even if we haven't learned it from another demon it's still deep within our minds. But what are the objects that we have to use to unlock this?"
Kagome looked closely at the tablet and saw two strange sockets. One was small and the shape of a circle. The other was long and the shape of a sword. She calmly said "I think that we have to use the Shikon Jewel and the Tetsusaiga and put them in these slots. That could work." Miroku was right behind them as he said "ok I can understand the Shikon Jewel being able to get in since it's been around way longer than the treasure. But the Tetsusaiga? How can that work? Inuyasha's sword was made after the treasure was hidden in here."
Inuyasha sighed as he said "well... what other choice do we have Miroku? It has to work cause we don't have any other option." Than Inuyasha grabbed his sword and placed it in the slot. As did Kagome with the jewel that was around her neck. As soon as she placed it in the slot along with Inuyasha's sword the tablet started to glow. Than it just disappeared without a trace. The only thing that was left was the jewel and the sword.
Inuyasha picked up his sword and Kagome picked up the Shikon Jewel. She placed it around her neck as she said "let's keep going. This place is really giving me the creeps." Inuyasha nodded as he held Kagome's hand and kept walking. Miroku and Shippo started to follow them until they hit a invisible wall. They couldn't get through. Miroku yelled "Captain! We can't keep going! Looks like it's just you and Kagome from here on in."
Inuyasha stared at his friends as he said "alright. I guess we'll see you in a bit. That is... Never mind you know what to do. See ya." Than Inuyasha kept walking while he still held Kagome's hand. Kagome stared at Inuyasha as she said "Inuyasha how come you just left Miroku and Shippo there?" Inuyasha sighed sadly as he said "cause I wouldn't have been able to get them to go through. Not to mention they both know that I have to get this treasure. It means more to me than anything."
Kagome stopped as she said "even more important than me?" He stopped as well as he said "... I'm sorry Kagome but to me you and the treasure are both important. I don't know what's more important to me at the moment. I'm just so sorry." Kagome could feel that he was confused with what was more important. This has been his dream since he first became a pirate. He only became one because of the despair of his mothers death from a rare illness.
She knew that Inuyasha wasn't expecting to fall in love with anyone at the moment. But he did. He had fallen in love with Kagome and she returned his feelings. Than they were close to the end of the cave. Right there was a huge amount of gold coins. There was more gold than Inuyasha could ever imagine. He let go of Kagome's hand and started to walk toward it. When he was at least a few feet away from Kagome there was a earth quake.
He was almost there until he heard Kagome's scream. He turned to face her and saw that the ground was starting to open around her. Kagome screamed "Inuyasha please help me!!" Inuyasha yelled back "just hang on Kagome! Let me just get some of the treasure and I'll get to you." He turned back to the treasure and was only a few inches from it. Than he heard Kagome scream again.
Inuyasha turned to face her and saw that the ground had broken from right under her feet. Kagome was hanging on to the edge and was screaming for help. Inuyasha turned to face Kagome and the treasure. He did that a few times and thought "I know what I have to do!"Than Kagome screamed as her grip loosened on the edge and she was starting to fall. But before she fell into the lava that was below her she felt something grab her hand.
Kagome looked up and saw Inuyasha holding her hand. He calmly said "don't worry Kagome. I got you! Your the most important thing to me! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have been so blind! You knew that I love you and I knew it as well... But I just didn't realise that I care for you more than some treasure. Treasures aren't as important as living breathing people! To me Kagome your my treasure! I love you!"
Kagome was shocked to hear those words. She knew that they were true for she could feel it in her soul... And not just her soul but deep within her heart. Kagome knew that Inuyasha loves her and that she returns his feelings. Than Inuyasha pulled her up and Kagome hugged Inuyasha. Inuyasha kissed Kagome with a loving and passionate kiss. Than all of a sudden the lava was gone as were the holes in the ground.
They both looked up and saw a strange figure. Than it got clearer and it was a ghostly figure. The man had long silver hair and looked almost like Inuyasha. The man calmly said "hello Inuyasha. It's so good to see you." Inuyasha held Kagome close as he said "who are you?" The man smiled at Inuyasha as he said "I'm InuTashino. Your father. I was the great demon captain that hid this treasure long ago. I hid it as did your mother..."
Inuyasha and Kagome just stared at the man saying that he was Inuyasha's father. InuTashino calmly said "I know it's hard to believe Inuyasha. But it's true. Me and your mother hid this treasure before you were even born. Your mother lived so long cause when I married or I should say mated with her she shared my life span. Until I died which was the same day you were born. The Tetsusaiga was created after the treasure was placed here so I created a tablet to make sure that only you and the girl who carried the Shikon Jewel could open. I knew that you would fall in love with her as well. So I added a test for you. If you could make the right choice between the love of your life, and the treasure than you would be ready for this treasure. And you did make the right choice. You decided to keep your love and keep her. Instead of the treasure. I'm so proud of you my son."
Inuyasha and Kagome stared at his father. Listening to everything that was said. This was all part of a test? A test of love? Why would Inuyasha's father put a test in this cave? InuTashino calmly said "I knew that your mother would die someday from a illness Inuyasha. So I had to make sure that you didn't lose the love that you kept in your heart. So I had this test made. You can now take the treasure. You've earned it. Do with it as you please." Than InuTashino disappeared.
Kagome calmly said "wow... So this was all a test to see if you could love..." Inuyasha nodded as he said "yeah... Let's get it Kagome. There's plenty for everyone and enough to save many lives." Kagome nodded as they both got up and walked to the treasure. They gathered it all up and started to walk out of the cave. Once they reached the ship Kagome and Inuyasha shared the treasure with everyone.
Months later Inuyasha and Kagome got married/mated. Miroku and Sango were married now and they all started a village. Inuyasha gave up his pirate days to spend all of his time with Kagome. He would love her till the end of time. As would Kagome and her love toward Inuyasha. They started a village where demon's and humans could live in peace and Harmony. A place where the love between a human and a demon would be accepted. Both dreams came true. Inuyasha saved many lives so no one would suffer the same fate as his mother. Kagome was happy and no longer blamed herself for her family's death.
They all could live in peace now. Everyone lived happily. All the crew members were free to do what they wanted now and they all decided to stay in the village as it's protectors. Everyone now knew the story of Captain Inuyasha and his love for the Miko... A girl who could hold enough love not just for him but for everyone in her life...
