This will answer your question. I do not own Inuyasha.

Chapter Fourteen:

Inuyasha sat under the tree of ages he hadn't moved in days. Kaede was taking care of the others andI Inuyasha felt he was only in the way. He was in deep thought when Kikyo came up to him. "You know you never saw her die. Kagome could still be alive you know." "I saw her Kikyo. Her eyes were glazed over and her beautiful cheeks were now pale. She was on death's door. If I had gotten to her then yes she would be alive, but he took her." Inuyasha jumped up into the tree away from Kikyo. For when he looked at her all he could see was Kagome.

In the dark laid Kagome's barely alive body. Her wound was through and through and to make it worse it was from Kikyo's arrow. Naraku sat in front of her body and held the jewel. "How are you going to use her now? I mean she is almost dead." "I know Kogura but I must wait till she is closer to death then the jewel will be able to use its full power." Naraku waited till Kagome's hands slowly started to fall to the side. Then he took the jewel and placed it in the hole in her stomach. The dark light took hold of the blood inside of Kagome. Her body for a moment fought back only to then stop. Naraku then placed his hand over her head. "Now what?" "I want to keep her under my spell so to do so I must change her last memories." He let his darkness fill Kagome's head and then he got up. "Kagome rise!" Kagome got up the hole in her stomach was now gone. When she opened her eyes a flood of memories hit her. She was fighting to get to her friends when Inuyasha stabbed her in the stomach. Tears filled her as she took hold of her head. "I will make them go away Kagome if you walk my castle and use that power you have to protect my castle." Kagome looked at Naraku she had no idea who he really was but he was willing to help so she agreed. She walked off as her light started to spread over the castle. "So how long will that spell last." "It will repeat itself. When she gets outside she will pull her bow as to want to fight back only to drop it turn and allow a large amount of her power to come out of her and then she will get up like nothing happened." Naraku walked past Kogura and out into the night sky. "Inuyasha will come to find her and then I will have those shards."

Inuyasha walked into Kaede's hut and looked at his friends and he remembered that day again.
:Kagome was gone and as Inuyasha was pulling Sango up onto Kirara Rin jumped down and ran to her master. He got up and without a word took hold of Rin and walked off. "She saved you!" "Inuyasha She is not dead." With that he was gone. Inuyasha could only half smile he was wrong, Kagome was dieing and he wasn't with her. Sango opened her eyes to see Inuyasha sitting in his corner waiting. "Inuyasha you made it back." "Sango your awake do you need anything?" Inuyasha got up to give her a sip of water. Miroku then opened his eyes to see the white shirted Inuyasha. "Inuyasha did he really take her?" Inuyasha felt his heart start to hurt again, that's when Kikyo walked in. "She might be but really it's anyone's guess with Naraku." She said in such a tone that even Inuyasha was angered by it. "How dare you! Kagome did all this to protect us and to give you Inuyasha." He was not hers' to give!" Kikyo walked back out of the hut as Sango was trying to get up. "Sango don't Kaede said it wasn't okay for you to move yet." Shippo came running in as Inuyasha was trying to get her to sit again. "I can't just sit here while she's with him." Miroku was slowing getting up at this point. "Sango what good would we be to her if we are like this. Please sit for at least a few more days then we will go looking for Naraku." Sango held her fist for a moment than sat back down. "Fine a few more days." With them okay for the moment Inuyasha ran out to find Kikyo who was sitting under the tree of ages.

"You love her now don't you?" "Huh? Oh Kagome……yes I do." Kikyo didn't look at him and tears didn't fill her eyes she reached out and grabbed him. "Then what about me?" With that she kissed him. Inuyasha was about to fall into it when his heart dropped. "What am I doing Kikyo only does this when I am getting close to Kagome. I am allowed to love whomever. I mean I am alive……… Wait Kagome told me once….. "I can't compete with her I mean I am alive." I love Kagome I want to live." Inuyasha pulled away he knew that it would be hard but he had to tell her. "Kikyo I want to live." "What do you mean? I thought you would send Naraku to hell and then we could die together?" "I did too but something has changed in the last year. I don't feel that much anger as I did." "You are going weak. Love makes us weak that is why I died!" Inuyasha wasn't sure what Kikyo meant but he felt that it was wrong. Kagome was stronger every day and she loved him. "Kikyo that is why we can't be. I see love as a strength not a weakness." Inuyasha walked away from the tree knowing that he for once had told her the truth. He was now free to be who he wanted and be with whomever he wanted and that was no longer Kikyo. "You know that she can never stay in this world and you will be left alone Inuyasha!" Kikyo yelled from the tree her heart was hurt but still no tears. Then she thought was she in love with Inuyasha or did she just want to think that.

Kagome walked the halls of Naraku's castle her world looked like the battlefield and she was looking for her friends. "I know they are around here but where?" As she got closer to the yard she would start to hear the voices of Sango and Miroku they were hurt bad. She walked faster till she reached the end of the yard then she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and she looked up to see Inuyasha. He was holding tetsusaiga now covered in her blood. "Why?" "I told you that I could only love Kikyo." Kagome pulled her bow and arrow at Inuyasha tears forming and then she just let it drop. "No!" She turned away and fell to the floor as her head started to pound. "STOP!" Her power grew and then exploded over the castle once more. She lay on the ground for a moment before her blank stare returned and she walked the castle once more. Naraku watched and noticed that her wound was healing every time she purified the stone for a moment. "She still has a little control over that stone Naraku." "I know that Kogura. She would only be able to be fully control and kill her friends if I had all of the stone." Naraku looked over as Kanna walked in with her mirror. "There you are." "Master they are up and on the move." I see lets give them a few days to look." Naraku turned back to his window as Kagome walked past. She was blank but her beauty stayed the same and Naraku found himself liking the idea of her around.

Inuyasha was leading the group through the mountains with Miroku next to him. Sango had allowed Kikyo to ride with her since she was sure that Kagome would like that. Shippo was fast asleep on Sango's lap when a wind came from behind. Inuyasha was about to take hold of tetsusaiga when he smelled wolf. "Inuyasha I see that your friends are finally up." "Yes Kouga they are. I mean mortals need time but I doubt you really care." "Look you mutt I came to help look for Kagome. She'll need me after you dump her." Inuyasha looked at the wolf he wanted to rip out his heart but knew that would only hurt him in the long run. "Look wolf breath you can come but I will save her and you better get that now." Kouga looked at Inuyasha he was dead serious and when he looked over at Kikyo her face was red with anger. "Is he going to actually choose Kagome?" Inuyasha turned back to the road and again started to walk. Miroku walked next to him without a word till they stopped for the night. "Inuyasha do you think she is still alive?" "If she is she's not doing good. The blow that she took was bad Miroku." "I see. And you say that it was done by Naraku." "Well yea I mean no one else was fighting with her." Miroku nodded he felt a stare coming from behind and when he turned he saw Kikyo. "May I talk to him alone monk?" "Yes Kikyo I was going to go talk to Sango anyways." Miroku got up as Kikyo sat very close to Inuyasha. "Kikyo I thought we talked about this?" "Inuyasha we are drawn to each other you must feel that?" "I did Kikyo but lately its like I am always running after Kagome. You come only as a second thought." Kikyo didn't walk away she just took his hand and they sat looking up at the stars. "She wont be around much longer and then she will be the second thought."

Kagome walked the halls when Naraku walked up to her. "Hello who are you?" "I am an old friend you could say." "Oh well hello." Kagome then started to walk again and Naraku walked with her. His human heart damned him but if she was a blank soul then it couldn't hurt for now. He walked with her and watched as she went out to the yard. He saw the tears and even though she was being hurt by the one she loved she would hurt him. "I see that you unlike Kikyo will not let a bond be broken even when he attacks you." Kagome then came past him back into the castle. He smiled it was time to bring ion the next battle. "Kogura!" Kogura appeared before him. "Send the wind to our guests. Make sure you get Kagome's sent in there it's the only way he'll be able to find us." Naraku walked off as Kogura took her feather and floated to the top of the castle barrier. She then sent waves of wind towards Inuyasha. "Here puppy here!"

Inuyasha was walking as the early morning was breaking. The others were still half-awake when a great wind came at them. The wind was blowing them all back then it was gone. "Inuyasha what was that? Inuyasha what is it?" "It's Kagome. That was her sent. It was a fresh and alive sent of Kagome!" Inuyasha didn't wait he started to run. "Inuyasha wait it could just be a trap!" Miroku then looked over to Kouga who was sniffing the air. "He's right that is Kagome. It's also fresh and she is alive." "This could just be a trap." "When is it not Miroku?" Koura then ran after Inuyasha as he was far off ahead. "Sango what if she is dead?" "Then we get to fight Naraku either way. We have to go. Kagome would do it for us!" Sango pointed and Kirara took off after the half demon.

Naraku waited and saw that his guests were at his barrier. His smile grew as he also looked down and Kagome was heading towards the yard. "Now they will see what I have done." Kagome walked out to the yard stopped when she then took hold of her stomach and blood appeared. She was in tears from pain then she looked up and saw him "WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS INUYASHA!" Then she stopped again and took a step back only to pull out a bow she held it for a moment only to drop it and turn to run. Then she fell to the ground.

Inuyasha and the others were standing there watching as the blank stared Kagome walked out and went through this like dance. When she yelled out "WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS INUYASHA!" Inuyasha stopped. "What? No I didn't do that to her." When she pulled the bow he could see it. Kikyo all over again but then she dropped the bow. She wouldn't shoot. When she fell to the ground that's when Inuyasha couldn't hold it in any longer. "KAGOME!"
