The Truth
Chapter Three
Last Time
"No! Don't hurt her!" Inuyasha yelled. Naraku's Evil laugh echoed around the dark cave. Tentacles wrapped in and out around the edges of the cave and a few tried to latch onto the people inside. In the far back Kagome was being held up against the wall, with her arms spread out. She was screaming Inuyasha's name over and over again. Every time she screamed though, the tentacles grip tightened and pulled her deeper into the folds of the endless supplies of flesh.
"It's pointless Inuyasha, you cannot defeat me. Now stop resisting and become one with me." Naraku's evil voice reverberated throughout the cave, bouncing off walls and hitting Inuyasha in the face, again and again.
"Shut up Naraku! I wont give up, and I'm not leaving without Kagome!" Inuyasha screamed back into the nothingness as he swung violently, blindly, in a fury to get back what he believed what was his. He couldn't remember the endless folds of skin and organs Inuyasha cut from Naraku's body, but it all just reformed, or reattached to another part of his body.
"Inuyasha, you cannot save her, or yourself." He laughed again at him.
"You cannot protect anyone." He continued to laugh.
"Now die." A giant mass of Naraku's body came flying directly at Inuyasha's chest. Just as it was about to hit,
Kagome woke up.
Now
Kagome sat straight up. Her breathing was ragged, and her body was covered in sweat from head to toe. The bed was practically drowning in it. Kagome could hear light snoring in the tent somewhere, but when she looked over and saw Inuyasha's bed empty, she pondered what had happened and took a look outside. She was stumped, if she could hear Inuyasha, why couldn't she find him? Kagome decided it was one of the other members of the camp and went back inside. She reached down to pull up the covers, but when she saw her hand, she screamed.
Nah, I'm just kidding, as if man, that would be so cliché. Anyway, back to the story.
She reached down to pull up the covers, but when she touched them, she heard a little voice in her head.
Yawn.
Yawn? Who yawned? Kagome certainly didn't, and of course Inuyasha couldn't.
Huh? Where am I? I thought I was still sleeping.
"Who are you?" Kagome asked in her head.
Kagome? Is that you? Where are you? Where am I?
"Inuyasha? Yeah, It's me Kagome, but I don't know where you are, but I'm still in our tent." She said.
Well, I just woke up and all I see is a bed. I can't move either.
"A bed? I don't understand."
Try asking the others; see if something happened to them.
"Alright. I'll go ask Miroku." Kagome got outside to ask Miroku, when she heard Inuyasha's voice again.
Hey, I can see daylight.
"Daylight? Ok, this is really getting weird." She said.
"So, are you saying you and Inuyasha can see the same things, even though we don't know where Inuyasha's physical body is?" Miroku asked, rubbing some sleep crust from his eyes.
"Yeah, that's what I mean, but I can also hear what Inuyasha is saying in my head." Kagome said back.
"Maybe something happened while you guys were sleeping." Sango chimed in.
Inuyasha "Feh'd" inside Kagome's head.
"I think someone has cursed you for some reason Kagome. I think it's the curse of Body Fusion." Miroku said.
"Body Fusion?" Kagome and Inuyasha said simultaneously.
"Yes, I believe it's a very old curse that strong Youkai mages and a few Miko's used it to seal their enemies with one of their allies."
"So how do we fix it?" Kagome asked.
"You can't. The spell is irreversible." Miroku said lowly.
"IRREVERSIBLE?" Kagome yelled.
This is just great, how am I going to be able to protect you should something happen?
"I don't know, hey wait, if we share a body, then were is your clothes and sword?"
How should I fucking know, maybe in my bed or something? Inuyasha snapped.
"I'll go check." Kagome said. She walked over to Inuyasha's bed, and saw his Robe of the Fire Rat, the beads of subjugation, and his Tetsusagia. She picked them up, and the beads of subjugation glowed brightly, and then flung around Kagome's neck.
"AH!" Kagome screamed as her face flung straight into the floor.
BAM!
