***Mysterious Blue***
Kagome mysteriously died, and the Shikon jewel disappeared along with her. Now it's just the beginning of the end when her soul is being pulled back to Earth. Chapter 1, Kag's p.o.v.
An Inu Yasha Fan fiction

By: Fire

Dedicated to my friend Raven who had me read a twisted horror book which taunted my dreams forever while I tried to think of an Inu Yasha fic, and this was the result.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters.



~Kagome's P.o.v.~
My names Higurashi, Kagome, I was seventeen years old when I died July 28th. For the majority of my life I lived at an old shrine where I was born. I was an average fifteen year old school girl until that unbelievable day. That day I found a magic well on my family's property that hadn't been discovered at the time, not until I fell in.

Since then I've been living two lives, one in a feudal age, the other in the modern age. There were monsters and demons of all sorts that we ran into as my friends from the feudal age and I traveled around in that time. There was one demon that topped them all, a hanyou, at that. He went by the name Naraku, and has killed many in his reign of terror.

That many included me. Perhaps it wasn't his direct work, but with Naraku it never is.
I remember that day with no problem. Unbeknownst to me that morning as I left for feudal Japan, it would be my last. It was my last time using the well, last time in modern day, last time ever getting to see my family again.
Without a second thought about leaving I hauled the giant yellow bag behind me, and went to the tip of the stairs. "Hey mom! I'm going back to the feudal ages again, not sure when I'll be back!" (How about never.)

"Kay sweetie, have a nice time, be safe." Was her reply. If only I had stayed, maybe I would be safe.
"Bye!" I yelled up to the second story, and exited the house.
I never had any idea what I was marching myself straight into, but now I do. The final battle.

The final battle was abrupt, and we hadn't prepared for it. No plans or anything, except for the one Inu Yasha made up on the top of his head, for me to get out of there and not interrupt while they were fighting. That situation honestly hadn't given me much of a
choice. Inu Yasha had charged at Naraku wielding his father's former sword. They clashed, numerous times.

I ordered Shippou to go to Miroku who was paving his way
through a wave of demons.
"Where are you going Kagome?!" I'm not sure if he was distressed, or sad when he said that, but I did my best to reassure him.
"I have to find the last jewel shards. I know Naraku has them." Well that was the truthful part, but I lied on the next part.
"We'll continue this next time." I lied. I didn't know that there would be no next time.
Naraku was plainly busy blocking all of Inu Yasha's attacks, and the jewel shards were shattered on the ground. It hadn't been that convenient, Inu Yasha had to slice them off first. I'd ducked, and shot a few demons with my arrows, before I did one of my infamous slides to grab it. Obviously, Naraku must have seen me go to do this
before he roared in anger, lunging down at me. Inu Yasha screamed my name once he saw Naraku coming at me. No, before you even think it, I didn't die that
way. It wasn't his direct fault.
The jewel shards instantly turned with a blinding glow, and slid into the rest of the jewel, shining beyond what made me squint. Naraku had sprung out trying to place a hand on it. I always thought the jewel empowered demons. I'm not
sure the reason, but it blasted him away.
Now I understand that the jewel had to be purified, but was absorbing his evil energy. That's what made it react, to push away the evil. Friend or foe, not everyone in the room was pure. It was killing them, pushing out all the evil. It was my first reaction to
call out for them when I saw everyone fall to the ground.
I was mildly affected, but it still needed to be purified. I'll skip all the drama stuff. I grasped the jewel in my two hands, planning on purifying it. Yet this wasn't one of the normal purifying missions. I hadn't been ready for what happened next.
There was no sound, nothing to see besides the jewels shining. Once I took the floating Shikon no Tama in my hand, it burst with a greater light. A feeling of
shock ran through my bones, and it wasn't the most pleasant feeling. It nearly stopped my heart, and twisted at my stomach.
Then the shocking feeling turned to burning, sharp pain, which made me cringe over from where I had sat up.


It felt like all the blood was pouring out of me, and my bones being electrocuted. It was purifying me, as I was to it, and it was killing me. The silence was broken by my long scream, shiny floor drenched with my crimson blood, light dimmed by my body hovering over it, and finally everyone was blinded with a mysterious blue light.

That was the last thing I ever remembered. I just appeared here, not my ideal idea of where I should go after I was dead, but I was here for another reason. After that my body disappeared, as did the Shikon jewel. Naraku was killed, and Inu Yasha and co
wounded.
They would have left, but Inu Yasha probably just stood there shocked before he freaked out and started searching everywhere.
Still no matter what, I wasn't supposed to be coming back.
I knew that.
No one else did.
It wasn't the model way to die, I never truly understood what happen, nor did any one else.
Still here I am, as dead as any one else, my soul escaped from my body, and now I'm here in what is probably eternal whiteness.
Don't ask me how I got here, or even what, or why, I always thought I'd go to Heaven. It took me long thinking, but I guess its something about the fact that part of my soul is still down in Earth. Unless I want my soul to be shattered, I can't go to Heaven.
So here I am, waiting for someone on Earth to release the rest of my soul from Kikyou's, my former self, body. I guess I used to wish that I had my own soul, and that I wasn't Kikyou's reincarnation, but I finally understood. I regained my memory from both lives, but still wish to live as Kagome. My soul, when I look at myself now, I can take either form of Kikyou or Kagome. They were both me, I ended up fighting with myself. Since I died for the second time, everything has become so confusing.
It when on like this, for as long as I can remember being here. The only thing I can do is wait.

I briefly thought how the gang was doing, but my thoughts were crudely interrupted. I felt a rip at my soul, a jerking, pulling me down. It slowly subsided to a mild tugging, causing Kagome to pull back in wonder. What was going on? Was someone trying to pull me back to Earth? If so, was I going to fight it?
