Kagome's Resurrection and Inuyasha's Love
Chapter 1
The Resurrection
Inuyasha was still sitting against the tree with Kagome in his arms. The others were staring into the campfire wondering what they should do now that Kagome was gone. Sango gasped and looked at Miroku and Inuyasha. They looked back at her in confusion. She turned to Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, doesn't that sword your brother has resurrect dead creatures?" She asked Inuyasha. He blinked at her.
"You mean the Tenseiga?" He asked with his brows furrowed in confusion. She nodded.
"Yes." She said. Miroku looked at Sango as if she were crazy.
"Sango, he's not going to ask Sesshomaru to resurrect Kagome." Miroku said. Inuyasha's ears perked forward and he looked at the monk.
"I didn't even think of that. He could, though I doubt he would. Not to mention I don't want to owe him anything for his help." Inuyasha said. Shippo snorted.
"Inuyasha why don't you just swallow your pride and ask for his help? This is bigger than just you and him. This is about Kagome. We all love her and miss her and we know you definitely do, so why don't you want to do anything to fix this? It is your fault anyway!" Shippo said in anger. He couldn't forgive Inuyasha for causing Kagome to kill herself. She had been the closest thing he'd had to a mother and she was gone. He sat down and burst into tears for the third time that night. Inuyasha glared at him but understood that he had loved Kagome unconditionally. He sighed.
"I want to have Kagome back but I doubt Sesshomaru would agree to help me. Remember he hates me. But then, as Kagome would say 'You never know until you try.'" He said. Miroku sighed.
"You know, Inuyasha, I love Kagome and miss her as well, but don't you think she'll hate you if you do this? I mean if this works like I believe it will, she'll be just like Kikyo but not made out of clay and dirt. I don't think she would want to be like her counterpart." He said. Inuyasha looked down at Kagome and stroked her beautiful pale, cold cheek. He was starting to smell slight decay from her and knew if he was going to act he had to do it fast. He then looked up at Miroku and sighed.
"I understand what you're saying Miroku but I love her and I want her back. Now we'd better get going if we want to do this." He said and stood up quickly with Kagome in his arms. Sango stood and threw water on the fire and then grabbed Kagome's bag as well as her Hariakotsu and jumped on Kilala's back after the cat demon transformed. Shippo jumped right in front of her on top of Kagome's bag. Miroku stood there with his arms crossed.
"I don't think this is a good idea." He said. Sango growled and glared at him. He sweat dropped and climbed on Kilala behind her. She grunted in approval and they were off in the direction of the Western Lands. Along the way Inuyasha held Kagome close to him and whispered encouraging things to her. He knew she was dead and gone and it meant nothing to her, but it made him feel better as well as helped him keep an optimistic attitude about asking for Sesshomaru's help. Miroku was holding on to Sango and silently telling himself that something would go wrong. He would have said his thoughts out loud but he didn't want Sango to punch him or slap him. He thought that his face would eventually be permanently numb from all the slaps she had given him, and no matter what she thought, it was his hand that was cursed with the need to grope, though he certainly hadn't tried to stop it's amorous intentions. Shippo was humming softly to himself. He was so happy that Sango had reminded them about the Tetseiga. At first he had thought there was no hope for Kagome. After a while longer Inuyasha suddenly stopped and sniffed around. Kilala landed on the ground beside him.
"What is it Inuyasha?" Sango asked him. He sniffed again.
"I smell Sesshomaru near by. Come on." He said and they were off. Five minutes later Inuyasha landed in a clearing to find Sesshomaru standing next to his ward, Rin, his minion, Jaken, and a huge two headed dragon creature named Ah-Un. Sesshomaru turned to Inuyasha and glared at him.
"What do you want, little brother?" He asked coldly. He sniffed the air regally and his eyes narrowed even more. "Why do you smell of death?" He asked again. Inuyasha took a deep breath and walked slowly forward with Kagome.
"Sesshomaru I need your help, please." He said and held out Kagome. Sesshomaru eyed her and looked back at his brother.
"It seems to me that your human wench is dead, Inuyasha." He said without any emotion whatsoever. Inuyasha looked at him like he was a few powers short of a demon lord. Which was rather amusing considering he was one.
"I know that, Sesshomaru. That's why I came to you. I was hoping you could use the Tenseiga on her." He said and laid her down a few feet away from Sesshomaru. He opened his mouth to deny Inuyasha's request but Rin stopped picking flowers to see what was going on and cried out at the sight of Kagome. She ran over to her and looked up at Inuyasha.
"What happened to the pretty lady?" She asked him. Inuyasha smiled sadly.
"She's dead." He said. Rin frowned.
"Why is she dead?" She asked in confusion.
"She died of blood loss." Inuyasha said again. He could feel tears well up in his eyes at the memory. Rin blinked up at him and then turned to Sesshomaru.
"Lord Sesshomaru? Can you do to her what you did to me when I was killed?" Rin asked. Sesshomaru looked down at the little human girl he had grown to love and cherish, though he would admit it to no one.
"Yes Rin, I can." He said. She smiled.
"Will you?" She asked. Sesshomaru sighed. He couldn't resist her happy face. He looked at his brother and his hopeful expression and nodded. Inuyasha grinned. Sesshomaru took out his inherited sword and looked at Kagome's dead body. He was looking for the little minions that would take her soul but they weren't there. He dropped his sword to his side and looked at Inuyasha.
"She's been dead too long. There is no soul left to fill her body. It has completely dissipated." He said and put his sword away. Inuyasha's ears drooped and tears filled up his eyes. He couldn't believe it. He had been so happy too and now his hopes were ripped to shreds and burned to ash. Shippo let out a loud sob and turned his face into Sango's leg, crying on her kimono. Sango stared straight ahead with no expression present on her face and Miroku just shook his head.
Inuyasha was about to pick Kagome's body up when he saw a soul collector fly by. He gasped.
"Kikyo!" he said. Everyone looked at him in shock from his outburst. Sango was about to yell at him for thinking about her but his next words stopped her.
"Sesshomaru. Kikyo's soul is a part of Kagome's. If we were to get that piece of her soul, would the Tetseiga work then?" He asked hurriedly. Sesshomaru sifted through his brain and nodded.
"Yes it would, though it would have to be done quickly before the piece of her soul dissipates." He replied in his monotone. Inuyasha nodded.
"Will you come with us then, Sesshomaru?" He asked. Sesshomaru looked down at Rin who was holding Kagome's hand and sighed.
"Fine, little brother. But you will be in my debt if I help you." He said. Inuyasha just nodded and quickly picked up Kagome after asking Rin to let go of her hand. Inuyasha then followed the direction the soul collector went in. The sun was almost completely up so it was getting harder to see the almost transparent creature. The eventually came to a tree and found Kikyo sitting in it. She seemed to be waiting for them. She saw Inuyasha and then looked to the body in his arms.
"I see my reincarnation has left this world." She said. She didn't seem happy or sad. Inuyasha nodded.
"Yes." He said. Kikyo's soul collectors surrounded her and lowered her to the ground.
"And why, Inuyasha, have you come to me?" She asked him regally. He took a deep breath.
"I came to ask if you could give Kagome back the piece of her soul that's in your body." He said. Kikyo blinked at him.
"If I were to do that I would die. Are you prepared for that?" She asked him. Kikyo knew that at one point that he had loved her unconditionally and even though she put him off he still seemed to, until now. She was sick of wandering around on Earth and needed to know his answer. Inuyasha looked her firmly in the eye.
"Yes I am. I love Kagome and I want her back. If you have to die for it to happen I'll make it happen. You're supposed to be dead anyway." Inuyasha said. He didn't care what Kikyo thought. He was being polite and asking her permission but if needed he would use force. Kikyo smiled. Inuyasha's eyes widened when he saw this.
"Finally you have moved on. You were supposed to love her from the beginning though being given the chance to make your life a living hell was worth returning to this miserable world. I will allow you to take her soul back." Kikyo said and Inuyasha placed Kagome on the ground. Sesshomaru pulled out his sword and waited. Kikyo nodded at them.
"Goodbye Inuyasha." She said and one of the soul collectors touched her body and pulled a soul out. Kikyo's body crumbled into dust while souls floated up into the air and slowly disappeared. Sesshomaru waited until the souls were gone, knowing that as long as the soul snake had hold of the priestess's soul it wasn't going anywhere. Once the souls were gone the soul collector dropped the soul into Kagome's lifeless body and Sesshomaru swung his sword down slicing Kagome's body down the middle, though it didn't physically split. Everybody waited in silence and Sesshomaru slid the sword into its sheath. Inuyasha crouched down next to Kagome's body and grabbed her hand. It felt a little warmer than it had been before. He examined her closely and noticed that her blue pallor was slowly fading and turning pink. All of a sudden her once closed eyes opened as did her mouth in a loud gasp. She sat up and looked around at everyone in confusion and then her eyes landed on Inuyasha and they narrowed.
"Inuyasha." She said in a growl.
