Forever Longing For You In Fiery Oblivion

Prelude Road to Nowhere

By Inuyashas Youkai

Lead by a ominous aura; Inuyasha,Kagome, Sango, Miroku,Kirara, and Shippo; tired from travel and battle, for the successful search ,leading to the whereabouts of another shard of the Shikon Jewel.

A few yards back, traveling in the same direction ,unknownst to them was Kikyo ,with Inuyasha's brother Sesshomeru above her in skies.

A bit further behind , Koga's pack was positioned in their trek towards the direction of their lead.

The feeling of dread was hovering over within the travelers being, shaken to the core ,but were strong in determination and stride to the end despite it. The mysterious barrier was ceased,abruptly all of a sudden, releasing to what it seemed the essence of pure evil. The venomous vapors overcoming the surrounding atmosphere swallowing up everything in its path leaving the constricting ensnare of death in its wake.

Being half way towards the source ,their once familiar spot of origin, now left abandoned, barren, and unknown. A strained voice shieked against the silent veil surounding the group, trembling in pain and fear.

"Inu.., Inuyasha ,I sense it, I believe ,this is the end."

In response Inuyasha turned to the direction the odd voice came from, with forlorn, worry ,and surprise. Once his attention was collected in her gaze, he sputtered.

"Kagome?"

"I feel it Inuyasha deep within me ,the jewel, a large part darkened ,shrowded in malice and hate gain by the tainted soul of its master...The end is near."

Kagome silently repeated in a hush toned chant, gaining again the attention of Inuyasha,noticing her distant and blank stare. Kagome's once chocolate hues now bled a fleshy pink ,radiating from her being as she grasped a smaller piece of the jewel.

The girl from the future released a shallow gasp and eased from her lips as unknown realization hit her deep in her conscience.

The Hanyou's silent croaks, demanding of her attention,went unnoticed and fellon deaf ears, for the young priestess was distracted, and deeply entranced by something deep within inside herself.

Kagome's movements; fluidlike, graceful traveling seemingly blind towards the voice that was summoning her .

"Ka go me ?" called a unknown identity in a eerie sing song voice.

"Are you coming ?" Came again within her mind from a mysterious source.

Kagome hesitated at first ,then answered ..

"Yes ,Iam coming. Who are you?"

The creepy voice within her echoed back ..

"I wasnt to be whole I want to be free"

Breaking through her silence Inuyasha's frustrated howl rang through her shaking her out of her short stupor.

"Kagome ! Who are you talking to ?"

Shortly after following, giving her a shake to rouse her .

"Inuyasha?" Kagome replied, momentarily released from the lull of the eerie being speaking within her soul.

"Kagome ,are you alright?" Inuyasha worriedly questioned, while patiently awaiting her reply .

"I am fine just fine ,I need ...to her.." she spoke as the jewels inhabitant Midoriko took control of the few remaining shards towards the near completed jewel just within Inuyashas forest.

Kagome's body walked without her as the light from her being returned almost like she was being controlled like a remaining of the group stood speechless as what sight lay before their eyes played out.

~Inuyashas Thoughts~

'Tired and lonely still we stand. Trapped in a world of

endless days .My engines stallling ,body and mind

breaking down. Destiny silent , hear no sound as I

wait forever .Iam sick of these goodbyes cause it

tore us apart from the start . Feelings that once

filled me left me cold. Dreams are my saviors, save

me now cause Iam falled. Candles burn slowly,

flames shine so brightly . Light within the darkness

save me from the madness again on this road to nowhere'

"Farewell I'll miss you"Inuyasha breathed to himself.

Shortly after Inuyasha lost control knowing that danger lurking to destroy them all,it was although within himself knowing in the end that might include him as his aura within eyes reach ,and the group appeared within the borders of Inuyashas forest and Kaede's Village .

Beyond the clearing, past the lining of trees deeper within the forest ,stood a shrine omiting the presence of vial destruction, and pure evil within the shadows. While on guard, due to the Mist ,a miasma of poisonous gases clouded their vision somewhat .As the wind carried into the atmosphere, as time stood still both sides caught and locked gazes in realization.

The sight met before them convinced within their minds that the end of everything as they knew it was near.

Naraku.
