Last Time:
"Sesshomaru?" She questioned, furrowing her eyebrows. "You can see me?"
"I think everyone can see you Kagome. You're alive, aren't you?" He asked, his eyes rolling.
"I'm dead, Sesshomaru." She stated. This confused him to no ends.
"You are dead?" He questioned, once more, as he rubbed his hair back.
"I died because in the final battle with Naraku... Inu-yasha got hurt and died. I had to save him.. so.. I made a wish... and now here we are. And here we will stay."
He looked at her, surprised at her speech, yet nothing showed on his face. He watched her, she was like... a soft silver color. No one could see her? She was dead? This just did not make sense. Why would she give her life up for Inu-yasha? It did not make sense.
"Why would you give your life up for him? It just doesn't make sense, Kagome." He stated, eyebrows scrunched together. She looked at him, her spirit seemed to reflect her emotions. First the color was a light silver, then a dark blue, and finally a jaded green.
"I loved him, Sesshomaru. Would you not give your life for the one you love?" She looked at him, from across the water, where she had stood.
"That... is a good question. Though I love no being, I would say, that is, indeed a very good question."
"Why am I asking you these things? We are enemies, are we not? Even in death." She stared at him.
"That is true."
"It doesn't have to be, you know. We could just forget everything. You've only tried to kill me... five times. I do believe." She smiled, and her spirit turned back to the silver color it was.
This Time:
Chapter 2
Helping The Enemy
Kagome hummed to herself as she walked along the side of the river. She sang softly, her lips barely moving as she sang the lullaby. She sighed. "It's all I can do now." She whispered. "Wander around." Sesshomaru raised his eyebrow in her direction. She sighed again and looked at him. "What are you still doing here? You're going to seem crazy for talking to nothing. I'm not really here. I'm only a spirit after all."
"That is true, but you have much to say for being dead. I can keep you company." He stated. "And I have a use for you." He murmured.
"What's that?" She asked, curiosity piqued. He looked at her face for a moment, well what was her face and then diverted his gaze for a moment. He looked at her again.
"I believe someone in my castle is trying to kill me. I cannot go around killing everyone, you understand; so it would be of much use to me, for you; a spirit, to help." He watched her spirit shift colors. Her spirit color shifted from a light blue to bright orange then fire red. "Will you?"
Kagome nodded. "Yes." She said. "Let me say goodbye to Shippo for a bit…" She whispered. "I overheard Kikyo telling Shippo that I was lost…" She looked at the clear sky. "I don't think Miroku told them the truth. That I sacrificed myself to help Inu-Yasha. And I don't think he ever will…" She sighed softly. "Give me a moment, alright?" She questioned as she began walking towards the village. Anyone she passed looked around, mumbling something about goose bumps.
"Shippo…" She whispered when she got near him. She saw him stir. "Shippo, I love you with everything I am. When Sango wakes up, and when you wake up, you'll both think you had dreams… but I… I was really here. If I can fix myself I will return once more… Tell Kikyo I said Congratulations, it's a girl. Tell Inu-Yasha… that I'm giving up on everything I thought we could be. He would never feel as I do… so please Shippo… if you think this is a dream, tell anyone. I love you all very much. Thank Miroku for me… alright? Sleep well…" She leaned down and kissed his forehead.
Kagome then left, and a few minutes later, Shippo woke. He looked around. "Kagome?" He asked, his voice shaky. His eyes began to water. "Kagome, are you dead?" He whispered louder. "Kagome! Are you still here?" When he felt the wind brush his forehead, like Kagome used to, he smiled but he couldn't refrain the tears. "Mommy, I'll never give up hope… please return to me soon!"
Kagome smiled down the hill and to the hut. Then she walked away. She would return. She would find someway to get her back to the world of the living. She just would. And as she walked back to the river, back to Sesshomaru, the only words she uttered were, "Alright… I'm ready. Lets' go." And they soon departed.
Alright, this is short, but I need to sleep. Read and review if you will.
Thanks
