~Chapter Two~ ~Truth behind life and death~
Inu-Yasha had been waiting around in trees, waiting for something, anything, to pop up inside his head that would make a good thing to say to Kagome when he went to her world. Nothing came though for a long while, except one thing. *Should….I tell her how I truly feel?* He thought in a bit of uncertainty. He thought about her face again, how he loved it, and admired it. She was perfect to him. She was the most beautiful creature on the face of the earth to his eyes, and even if she were to be ugly, which she wasn't, but if she was, his mind would not be changed about her. He also thought about her scent, her smile, her movements, her eyes, her heart, her soul. He loved them all. He loved…..her. It was as simple as that. He then admitted to himself that he had no more such longings for Kikyo. He realized that the only reason he had fallen in love with Kikyo 50 years before, was because he saw within her, saw straight through, right to Kagome. Kagome didn't exist in that world, long before she had come from the well. Only Kikyo. Kikyo was a close image of his true soul mate. The one he sought out, was still being created, and not born yet, only in Kikyo did she even have a chance at being real! Kikyo was almost like her mother! If Kikyo never had been, then Kagome would have never been, but that made Inu-Yasha wonder too. Was Kagome a simple reincarnation, or a whole other being?? She did, believe it or not, have a little bit of Kikyo's looks. That wasn't important to him though. The thing was, was Kagome just another Kikyo? He saw an image of Kagome again. He saw her smile, and the way she moved. She was not just another Kikyo. Kikyo was totally different. Her body was even shaped in a dissimilar way then Kagome!! Kagome was another being. Another living soul which was created for a purpose. *She was born to be with me. Her inner self has been crying for mine ever since I was born as well!! That's why I was attracted to Kikyo!! Because the soul within Kikyo's soul was Kagome's!!! And Kagome's soul was pleading for my soul to set her free!!! Only I hadn't the power to do such a thing, so I was forced to look deep within Kikyo, to Kagome!! If Kikyo hadn't have died when she did, Kagome's soul would have seized to exist forever, and there for my soul would be lost!!! Life has a way, and it works around things to make it fit!! Kikyo died and pinned me to the tree, because that's what was supposed to happen!!! If it hadn't, and Kikyo's self had lived on, then Kagome's soul would have grieved till nothing was left but a sad feeling that could only be felt by Kikyo and I!! A feeling that was what was left behind, and never to be picked up again. But Kikyo DID die when she did! She left this world at the right time and the right place, and when her body was set to flame, Kagome's soul sprung forth, and sped into a whole other world, where she did nothing but search. She was born in the future as what she was supposed to be, and through the fate of her life and purpose, she fell through the well, and found me. She found me……and I found her.* Inu-Yasha told himself many things, and then stood up from the tree he was in. "I'm going for her now. I finally understand. We need one another. I can't keep hiding my true feelings any longer. I will reach out and pull her soul to my heart, and let it free." He stated as he leaped through the forest to the sacred well.
