Chapter 18: Kagome's Soul

~*~*~

Kagome paused.

She shot it.

~*~*~

Inu-Yasha just stared. His Kagome was now a pale, skinny, murderer?

(A/N: Pale...yep...skinny...SURE...murderer? Not yet.)

The arrow exploded and smoke filled the air. Kagome stood still in the pose of a shot arrow. She looked dazed and her mind spun until she fainted and fell.

"Kagome!" Inu-Yasha yelled as he ran towards her.

He caught her and Sesshomaru looked to the side. He was staring at the fading smoke. Her brother was still alive. He was just a little stricken. No one was hurt... Just what was Kagome aiming for?

~*~*~

"So...this is dead?" Kagome said to herself.

"Hell or Heaven...hm...Hell...no...Heaven...still no."

She heard a voice thunder down.

Kagome...

You have a large soul. I gave you that jewel to protect it....You did.

But now...well I have to help now don't I? The voice gave a small chuckle.

"Daddy?" Kagome said with a amazed smile.

"I'll never be gone. I'm always here. As long as you remember me I'm with you. I always was."

Tears were reaching up to her once more. She ignored them.

"I have to go..."

"Good bye my dear Kagome."

"No! Don't go!" Kagome yelled.

~*~*~

Then he saw it.

A rearranging head and body of that demon lady Jishen. And guess what? It was STILL alive after all those encounters with Kagome's arrows. It was reaching for some piece of glass...

"The shikon kakera!" Sesshomaru yelled as he just flew by and grabbed it.

A strange ghostly white light flew up and grabbed it from him. It grabbed all the other ones as well. It stuck them all together. And the light put it over Kagome's chest.

It seemed to be kissing her on her forehead, whispering "sorry" as it faded into air.

Just as it left, Kagome woke with a sad but angry look on her.

(A/N: She's not crazy though okay? Okay? Okay.)

She wasn't smiling at the least.

'I could've killed Sota.'

I SHOULD'VE killed Sota....

'why didn't I kill him?'

Kagome head spun again with so many questions that she felt faint once more. She pressed herself against Inu-Yasha's warm chest. She lost enough blood to make her shiver.

Kagome eyes fell to her skirt.

It was torn so much as to reveal much of her thighs.

With that, she blushed madly but she tried to get rid

of the rushing red. Actually, the blushing made her

feel warm and herself again.

But then, another thing hit into her head. That sound...when she was still unconscious she remembered hearing that voice...It was so relaxing to hear it. She could've lived on hearing it over and over again. It wasn't Inu-Yasha but a voice that calmed her and filled the part of her heart that was never full.

It was her dad.

He had said to her...

"I'll never be gone. I'm always here. As long as you remember me I'm with you. I always was."

Kagome was hugging Inu-Yasha without even knowing it now. Her face buried into his large chest, crying her heart out. Inu-Yasha was holding her and put his head above hers. He smelt her hair. It still was her. She wasn't as strong as he had thought.

Something was happening.

And he couldn't help her he thought.

He held onto her.

Sesshomaru was watching like one of those romance tragedies that he would watch in the plays.

He didn't notice.

That the demon behind him.

Was building.

And now.

Alive

~*~*~

Kagome's grip on Inu-Yasha was loosening and Inu-Yasha looked down on her face. She couldn't control it. Something was happening. He then saw the demon she had killed holding a ball of white light. The light was coming from Kagome.

"Thanks for the soul girl. I needed something to eat you know." She said as the cracks of flesh were healing and Kagome's luster of black hair, the color of her skin, EVERYTHING. Was going similar to Kagome.

"You bitch!" Inu-Yasha growled as he leapt up and aimed for the ball she was holding.

"Ita, Ita, Ita." She said.

"Kill this ball here. And I die."

"So?!" Inu-Yasha said angrily as he transformed his sword and took a run towards her.

"The girl dies too of course. I AM using her soul of course."

He stopped just in front of her.

"D-Damn bitch...." Inu-Yasha growled under the weight of this all.

She laughed.

"If you wanna kill me you should kill your own bitch slave as well.

She's not worth anything dog-boy. Does she?

I mean, she's a mortal.

How can you live with anyone like that?

I mean...think about how she would USE you.

She has no use of you but your money.

Are you sure she really loves you?

Could all the days you had spent with her have been a joke?

Inu-Yasha shouted at her angrily in curses.

She laughed so happily that her eyes seemed redder then usually.

He finally gave up.

He came towards her with the sword.
