[I've found peace of mind
I'm feeling good again.
I'm on the other side,
back among the living.]
Kagome climed solemly out of the well for the last time, fighting back tears of grief and remorse. How
could it have gotten so bad, so quickly? Naraku had been so much more powerful, and they had known it. Sango,
Miroku, Shippo, and Inuyasha. The battle played itself over and over in her mind like a broken record. First
Miroku, Naraku put such a deep cut in the wind tunnel, he lost control and it swallowed him, along with
Sango, who had run foolishly to his side when he was injured. In a burst of rage so unlike himself, Shippo
had launched himself in all his chibi fury at Naraku. The poor little Kitsune never stood a chance against
Naraku's power. Kagome herself shot an arrow with deadly precision, but to no avail, Naraku was just to
strong now.
Inuyasha, with a cry of "Iron Rebarb Soul Stealer!" loud enough to awaken the dead and make your blood
run cold had set upon Naraku, attacking with all his might to avenge his fallen comrades. Naraku knew his
weakness though, lashing out past Inuyasha, straight at Kagome. At the last possible moment, Inuyasha had
thrown himself in front of Kagome, sacrificing his life to save her. (if this is to sad for anybody, stop
reading, b/c i know i'm about to cry here).
[In a cloud in the sky
all my tears have been cried.
And I can finally say,]
Kagome had laid there covered by the body of her love, not daring to move or breath as Naraku
celebrated his victory, cackling cruelly at his victims. Kagome shook her head to clear the memories of
the prevoius day from her mind. Had it really been a day? It seemed like years passed every second
without Inuyasha. She had sat there long after Naraku had gone, crying to the rain falling around her as
she knelt with Inuyasha's head on her lap. She vowed then that she would cry no more. It was pointless,
she would never see her friends again, so there was no use crying. Kagome hardened her heart to the world
[Baby baby stay,
stay right where you are.
I like it this way,
it's good for my heart]
~*~4yrs.later~*~
'Off to collage,' thought Kagome, staring at the massive building that loomed up in front of her. The
dorm was cozy, and her roomate was nice. What more could a girl want? She had gotten over her loss in the
Feudal Era, she had moved on. Life was good, she was dating Hojo, as she had been for two years now.
[I haven't felt like this
in God knows how long.
I know everything's gonna be okay
if you just stay gone.]
After getting settled in, and because her classes didn't start until the next day, Kagome decided to
have a look around campus before lunch. She loved the constant bustle of it all, and finally decided to
settle down in the shade of a rather large and sturdy oak tree to eat the snack she had brought with her.
She had sat down and began to eat her bag of chips when an apple core bopped her soundly on the head.
Kagome tiltled her head back, only to see a guy on the branch above her.
"Watch where you're dropping your trash," she scolded.
"Sorry, didn't realize anybody was down there," the boy apologized, jumping neatly down from the tree
to look Kagome in the eye. Kagome was startled at his appearence. Short silver hair, yellow eyes that had
a familiar glow to them, it was almost as if he was the reincarnation of.....No, not possible! Fate
wouldn't mock her like that (says who? not me!).
"It's okay," she assured him hastily, adding nervously, "I'm Kagome."
"I'm Inuhaku. Nice to meet you Kagome." Inuhaku stuck out his hand in a friendly gesture. Instead of
shaking it, Kagome gave a frightened jump, muttered something about an appointment, and hurried away in
the crowd, not stopping until she was halfway across the campus. She paused to lean against another tree,
drawing the conclusion that fate had decided to kick her in the butt.
[I still love you
and I will forever.
We can't hide the truth
we know each other better.]
"It's considered rude not to shake somebody's hand you know," came an all-to-familiar vioce from above
Kagome. Inuhaku jumped calmly down from the tree, landing in front of the startled girl. "What's wrong, you
look like you've seen a ghost or something."
Kagome broke down and laughed, much to the puzzlement of her chaser. "Not exactly. It's a long, painful
story that I thought I'd put behind me, but maybe this is fate giving me a second chance."
Poor Inuhaku still didn't have a clue as to what she was babbling about, but decided to give an effort
to understand. "Tell me about it, " he said gently.
Begining not by talking to him but by looking at the sky, Kagome called to the winds. "First, I want to
say to who ever is in charge of destiny up there, you make me sick!" She turned back to Inuhaku, who was
starting to worry that his apple core may have hit her a little to hard, Kagome said,"You might want to sit
down this could take a while to explain."
So under a oak tree, Kagome told what Inuhaku could only assume was some made-up fairy tale, not giving
names to the hayou and the girl, who was the reincarnation of a woman who sealed him into a tree for fifty
years, as she helped him to gather the shards of the Shikon no Tama. Kagome began to shake as she spoke of
battle against the evil Naraku, and how the hanyou sacrificed himself to save the girl, who lost the Jewel
to Naraku, and went back through the well from which she came, never to return to her love who lay dead on
bloody ground.
"Does the ledgend not speak of their names," Inuhaku asked carefully, not wanting to upset Kagome, but
still not understanding what it all had to do with him.
"It's no ledgend," Kagome confessed. "The hanyou's name was Inuyasha, I helped him gather the Jewels, and
he died to save me fighting Naraku. The well is in my family's shrine. I am the reincarnation of Kikyou."
Inuhaku sat dumbly while that information registered. He still couldn't figure out what it had to do
with him, and he decided that this Kagome was insane.
Kagome looked at his face and knew. "You think I'm crazy! I'll prove to you I'm not making this up!
Come on!" She grabbed his hand tightly, dragged him to her car, and drove him to her house. Without a word,
she dragged him to the well. Inuhaku peered down into it.
"Looks normal to me," he said dryly. He was about to turn and leave when Kagome grabbed his hand again
and jumped swiftly into the well, dragging Inuhaku along for the ride.
