Chapter 49:
Kagome stumbled here and there. Sango steadied her from behind, as they walked blindly through out the maze. The fire's light bounced off the walls, emitting a soft glow.
Kagome clutched her belly as she paced along the path. She was nervous. Not exactly scared.
Determined.
But still nervous.
Tears stung her eyes as she recalled what Inuyasha had looked like; he wasn't himself.
'His eyes were blood red...
They were fierce, powerful,
filled with rage'
Kagome sighed. 'I just want him back...'
Inuyasha knelt down, and sniffed the floor. He smelled blood, dirt, sweat..
...and that scent...
This scent drove him wild...he didn't know why, it was different rush than what he got from spilling blood. This he now realized.
But why?
It stirred Inuyasha's blood in a way he couldn't remember. What was it...
FLASH
That girl...he could see her in a mist...laughing
FLASH
He saw her again, in a field, shooting an arrow towards a ginat demon, more than ten times her size, yet she stood still.
FLASH
There...again...he saw her, but this time, she was with another male...he was clasping her hands...a wolf...
And for some reason that bothered him.
A lot.
No, it pist him off.
FLASH
He was back in the dark labyrinth, his eyes quickly adjusting to the darkness of the shadows. His blood, still boiled, raced through out his body. Inuyasha didn't like that last image.
Not. At. All.
He took off, flew down the hallways, chasing after that scent. He had to get to it. He just had to.
Inuyasha thought about spilling that girl's blood. The look in her eyes as he first approached her and that man.
He didn't like the way that man touched her either.
But the thought of harming that girl didn't seem like that's what he wanted. He was confused.
Inuyasha didn't like being confused. He acted on instinct.
And his instinct said: Find her.
He'd know what to do then.
He would hear her cries.
Whimpers.
Screams.
Would that appease him?
Miroku looked back to Kagome, who was trailing behind him. She was dazing off, not particularly focusing on anything, her feet moving on instinct.
Instinct.
That word reminded him of Inuyasha. When Inuyasha was in his demon form, he acted on instinct.
But did his instinct tell him friend from foe? If he didn't recognize him...or Sango...
Would he at least recognize his...mate?
'I don't think so.' he thought. He turned away from Kagome and headed more into the darkness.
'But I hope so.'
Sango was alert to Kagome's movements. She hadn't seen her friend in months...she was so happy..
'But I wish we hadn't met this way...'
Memories of the past day sprung into her mind, filling it with blood and despair. All those people...dead...Inuyasha in his demon form...
"Kagome..." she whispered low enough only she could hear herself. She felt simpathy for her friend. Sango knew had Inuyasha had become depressed with the loss of Kagome...and now when he was like this...Inuyasha was unpredictable...
Thought about what Inuyasha might do flooded her head, but what she saw was too much...too horrible
She erased them from her mind.
'No...that couldn't happen...' She thought. '...Inuyasha could never forgive himself if he did that...to Kagome...'
"Kagome." she whispered once more, except this time it was filled with sadness, worry. Low enough so only she could hear herself, not by Miroku or Kagome. Only she could hear her whisper.
Or so she thought.
Inuyasha thought he was lost. He was about to give up on finding the woman, losing hope on finding the source that made him feel the way he did.
"Kagome..."
There! He heard it. He heard a whisper.
Did he? No...he was tricking himself.
"Kagome." There. There it was again. No, it wasn't him.
There were near.
Up ahead, he saw the flickering of what seemed to be candle light. They were around the corner, in front of him, away form him.
No.
He wouldn't let them get away.
He was oing to get that blood. Anything to take him mind off of that woman. He let out a howl of rage and need for blood.
Kagome strolled along, depressing over her day.
She heard it.
A howl.
Inuyasha.
He was right behind them.
Sango pushed her, telling her to run.
Kagome couldn't hear her. She only watched as the dark mass from the shadows emerged at full speed. But as soon as Inuyasha saw her face, he stopped. Confused.
Kagome gripped the sword. It was now or never. She had to get that sword to him. It was the only way.
His mouth formed into a snarl. Inuyasha didn't like being confused.
Kagome tugged free of Sango and Miroku's grasp.
She ran to him.
Note: Gasp...uh I want to continue but I cant...my sister is being absolutely horrible and wont let me conyinue. The computer is so important to her.
Ugh. She makes me so mad.
I'll update tomorrow.
p.s. I cant do personal thank you's again because of my sister. She can be so terrible at times. Most times. Everyday.
Now I'm in a horrible mood.
Toksha!
