Bring me to life
"Hurry, Inu-yasha," Miroku warned, "We don't have much time until the poison seeps into her blood. "I
know that, Bouzou. Just tell me what to do," Inu-yasha snapped while holding the nearly catatonic Kagome
in his arms.

She had been bitten by a snake youkai and the poison was working quickly, and the only way to revive
her was to bring her soul back from the tunnel to the afterlife.

Miroku nodded and placed his hand over Inu-yasha's and Kagome's and said, "You will have to fight
your way there and then convince her to come back." Leaning back, Miroku began to chant to help Inu-
yasha find Kagome's spirit. Inu-yasha looked into Kagome's glazed over eyes and felt his spirit sink into
her mind and his vision slowly clouded...

How can you see into my eyes like open doors...?

Inu-yasha blinked rapidly to clear his eyes and saw a dark tunnel, and in the distance he saw a lighted
doorway.

Leading you down into my core, where I've become so numb...

'Inu-yasha'
He spun around, hearing Kagome's voice. Knowing she was past that lighted doorway, he began to run
toward it.

Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold;
until you find it there and lead it back home...


Even at his top speed, Inu-yasha felt the shadows shifting and lengthening his path, before merging into a
giant monster...

Wake me up inside
wake me up inside
call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
before I come undone
save me from the nothing I've become


Inu-yasha pulled the Testsusaiga from its sheath and sliced his way past the thing, only to have four more
appear in its place.
'Kagome!'
Fighting off the masses of shadows appearing in his path, he called out to her and prayed he would get there
in time...

Now that I know what I'm without,
you can't just leave me...
Breathe into me and make me real,
bring me to life


Finally getting past the doorway into the lighted tunnel, Inu-yasha saw Kagome walking toward an ivory staircase.
'Kagome!'
She turned and saw him and smiled sadly, 'I'm leaving, Inu-yasha, so I don't get in your way anymore.'

wake me up inside
wake me up inside
call my name and save me from the dark
bid my blood to run
before I come undone
save me from the nothing I've become
bring me to life


Snagging her arm, Inu-yasha held her close to him and said, 'You've never been in my way. I want you beside me.'
'Like Kikyou? I'm nothing to you, Inu-yasha. Just a copy.'

frozen inside without your touch without your love
darling, only you are the life among the dead...


Looking into her eyes, Inu-yasha said, 'Kikyou is dead. You are alive. I want Kagome beside me. YOU
are the one I hold closest to my heart. I would freeze up inside if you were gone, Kagome. You brought me
back to life.' Holding her close he said, 'Please don't tell me I've lost you.'
Kagome's eyes filled with tears and said, 'Are you sure?'
All Inu-yasha could think to do was kiss her, deeply...

all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me


//How could I have left him? I love him...//

I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything


//I will bring her back with me. I can't live without her. She is my other half. My life, my love... My
future.//

without a thought
without a voice
without a soul


Winds seemed to pick up out of no where and whipped past the pair, but they clung to each other, not
willing to part, until one vicious gust tore them apart.
Kagome screamed and latched onto Inu-yasha's haori and said, 'Don't leave me! Inu-yasha!!'

don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life


Inu-yasha brought her back into his arms and said, 'I'll never let you go.'
The winds formed a funal and dragged them into a dark abyss and only when the sheer force of the winds
tore them apart did the pair let go...

wake me up inside
wake me up inside
call my name and save me from the dark
bid my blood to run
before I come undone
save me from the nothing I've become
bring me to life


Opening his eyes, Inu-yasha looked around him. He had been laying on his back and couldn't see anyone
near him until a faint rustle of leaves to his side did he see Kagome wake. Turning onto his side, he brought
her gaze to meet his and bent to kiss her softly.
They finally understood one another. They had each brought the other back from the darkness, and knew
that now they would never part, even in death.

Bring me to life...
