Chapter 3
"Sister…why did that girl you said was a brat save you. She helped you." Sota asked
"She almost killed me Sota!" Kagome responded obviously annoyed. "Don't ever talk to that girl. She never really treated anyone very nicely and she blasted that man to the ground."
"TO SAVE YOU!!"
"She almost killed me to save me? I think not. I think she just wanted to kill Sesshoumaru."
"NO SISTER!!! I know she is nice. She looks like you Kagome which means she can't be too mean. Plus her and Inuyasha make a nice team. Him saving you her blasting the bad guy." Sota said.
"ENOUGH!" Kagome shouted. "I WILL HEAR NO MORE OF THE GIRL KIKYO WITH INUYASHA!"
What was that? Why does hearing her name with his make me so mad? Someone inside of me is trying to talk to me and I can't hear it.
Sota looked at his sister. Her outburst like that, there was something wrong.
"Sister…" he said quietly remembering what Kikyo told his mother and him.
FLASHBACK
"You woman and you boy." Kikyo shouted "do not talk of the demon Inuyasha to Kagome. Do not talk of the well. Do not talk of any of it. You will be the only ones with memory since your minds are not fully involved, it will not erase. IF you talk of it, I promise you will die."
"Kikyo, children please…don't do this. They love each other. You realize that the love will come…"
"ENOUGH!" Kikyo shouted
End of Flashback
That's where I have heard that. Kagome sounded just like Kikyo when mother mentioned their names together. I always wondered how she erased everyone's memory and created the family of Inuyasha. Did she bring them from the past?
Kagome suddenly fainted and fell to the ground.
"KAGOME!" Sota shouted.
Dream
Where am I? What's going on here…that's Inuyasha and my mom! That's me!
In the background is the God tree. Inuyasha was caught on it and Kagome was right next to it. Many other people were pinned to the tree. Suddenly the girl that was her called out in her sleep.
"THAT'S ME!" The girl called. Then she called out something else. "Pull out the arrow. Free my feelings. Free my memories." All of the other people began to chant.
Kagome walked up to herself. She slowly touched the arrow and then yanked it. It would not come out. Why?
Suddenly the girl talked again. "Awake myself from my ever constant dream of my enemy. Free Inuyasha, Free my mother. Go through the well house. GO THROUGH THE WELL HOUSE!"
End of Dream
"KAGOME!!" Sota was crying hysterically. Sango had appeared behind him and was looking at Kagome. She looked like she was having a bad dream. Suddenly she jerked awake.
"Kagome are you ok?" Sango said.
"Yes Sango. I'm fine. I have to go do something though. I will be back tomorrow." Kagome said with a dreamy and delusional look in her eyes.
"Ok Kagome but rest first."
"NO! I cannot rest. I must go!" Kagome yelled and she ran out.
Kagome ran all the way past Kikyo's well house and ran to the well. She looked down and then jumped, not looking behind to see Kikyo watching her.
"Damn! She got through." Kikyo said. "She will not, she cannot get through my spell. She doesn't even know of her miko powers so she cannot!" Kikyo screamed into the night.
Other side of the well
"I am here! Where is everyone???" Kagome yelled as she climbed out of the well. Suddenly a kitsune boy ran up to her.
"KAGOME! HOW DID YOU FREE YOURSELF?" The boy yelled.
"I have a mission boy. Please show me the place where they are pinned to a tree. It must be here. Where are they pinned?"
Shippo looked at her weirdly and said, "Follow me Kagome."
What's with Kagome? She doesn't even recognize me. This is not Kagome. Where is Inuyasha?
"Here we are Kagome. Hey you are still on the tree Kagome. How are you in both places?" Shippo said. "I must go get someone. I will be right back. Stay here."
"Ok I will stay." Kagome said.
She looked at herself and said, "What am I to do?"
Suddenly like in her dream, the girl was talking to her but now, the eyes opened.
"Ah, I have grown. How is Inuyasha?"
"How should I know? He is royalty and in love with Kikyo."
"Ah so that's how Kikyo did it. She pinned are emotions to the tree. I am not you. I am your feelings. I am your memory. Please free me. Come to me and pull out the arrow."
Kagome slowly walked up to herself. Slowly, she touched the arrow and it disappeared under her touch.
"Free yourself Kagome. Believe that you are me. Merge with your spirit." The girl on the tree fell to go inside Kagome. She slowly went inside.
Suddenly Kagome was flooded with images. Many were with Inuyasha. When he first saw her. When he first called her by name. When he held her hand when he thought she was dying. When the small kitsune boy was there. She knew his name…Shippo. A man named Miroku touching her butt. Sango becoming their friend. Suddenly she saw Inuyasha with herself. "Ashiteru Kagome." He said.
He loved me! Kikyo loved him and wanted revenge.
Then she saw Kikyo. "Come to the past one more time Inuyasha and Kagome. She remembered Inuyasha trying to make her stay in the future but her telling him to give Kikyo one chance to understand. Then her being hit with an arrow and having just her memories and feelings sleep. Then she knew what she had to do. She had to get each of the people to come back and free their memories. She ached for Inuyasha.
"Memories…Inuyasha…" Kagome said as she started to cry.
Inuyasha stirred on the tree. "Kagome…" he said. "I will always love you. Always." He said softly. He looked at her and slowly the other people began to wake up. Suddenly Kagome noticed someone there. Her mother…how could her mother be there? She remembered making Sota and her mother stay home. Sota wasn't there.
She ran to her mother.
"Momma!" She yelled hugging her. "Where are you? I thought you died."
"No Kagome, Kikyo put a half dead woman in my place after you left because I was going to tell you about this. She will kill you Kagome. She wants Inuyasha. Actually Kagome I didn't notice before but look over there."
Kagome looked and she saw something that made her gasp. Kikyo was also pinned to a tree.
Her feelings. Those aren't her real feelings but I cannot wake her up. I have only woken up my mother, Inuyasha, and Sango. I cannot wake Rin, Sesshoumaru, and her up. I do not know who can wake up those three.
Suddenly Shippo came running through the bushes with…Kagome gasped and ran into the arms of a familiar face.
"MIROKU!"
"Kagome…We thought we could never free you. I see you have woken up Sango and Inuyasha. Oh and your newly come mother has woken also." He grinned when he saw that Shippo was bothering Inuyasha and Inuyasha could not make him stop.
Kagome turned and ran to Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha! I can't get you to come back here in the future. You are only nice to Kikyo in the future. You are mean to everyone else." She said crying into his chest.
"Kagome, don't cry please. Don't cry. I can't wipe your tears. You know I can watch you from in my sleep. I do have feelings for you. That's why I saved you. You have to awake them. You have to bring me back. I have to get to you Kagome. I will try to help you."
"Yes Inuyasha. I love you. I must go now. Kikyo will notice."
"I love you too Kagome. Please bring me back soon."
"Bye Inuyasha."
Inuyasha watched as Miroku shared his own hello with Sango and being dragged away by Kagome. My Kagome is awake. I will help her. I will bring myself to help her. I must be with her.
Kagome brought Miroku and Shippo with her to the future and snuck out of the well house. She heard footsteps and told Miroku and Shippo to run to the house down the street to the left and they should find Sango and her little brother.
"You girl!" Sesshoumaru stepped out of the darkness.
"I want you to come with me. You have no one to save you this time!" he reached out and grabbed at her. Suddenly he realized he had misjudged and his claw ran across her chest.
Kagome screamed and fell to the ground. Sesshoumaru came over ready to pick her up when suddenly someone with long hair slipped out of the trees and grabbed the girl. Very quickly the figure ran out of the clearing.
"I will get her." Sesshoumaru said. "You just wait. You cannot always save her."
Kagome had just enough consciousness to notice the hair shining in the moonlight and feeling the breeze on her cheeks and then she felt just black.
Author's POV: who is it? WHO IS IT?? I can't decide but a definite twist in the story is coming up! BEWARE! I don't know where my crazy mind takes me! R&R!
