***Mysterious Blue***

Dead Alive and Back Again


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.

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.

"Stop squirming girl, no ones gonna come for you." The voice said grunting as they tried to hold Rin down.

Rin may not have been to big, but she easily struggled enough for three guards to have her pinned to the table.

"Let me go!" She protested with full heart. "Sesshoumaru-sama will come for me, and make you pay."

The guard narrowed his eyes giving her a sharp slap across the face to stop the squirming.

Rin stopped instantly, as everyone else did once a voice boomed "ENOUGH!"

A lone figure walked up.

"Have patience child, you will not feel anything in a few moments. Sesshoumaru will not come for you, child, he has been very busy taking care of the troubles we sent after him. Now calm yourself, child, we will start the magic soon enough. You should be honored, to be taking part in the awakening of a great miko once again." The figure never stepped out of the shadows, but Rin could feel the strong implacable aura waving off of her.

The guards tied her down to the stone table while she'd been distracted, and now were walking away.

"At least tell me what you plan to do with me!" She yelled loud enough to gain the figures attention, and have her turn around.

"You, child, are the only one with a suitable body to change into one of the miko's, you may have to switch places with the miko, but of course-" The figure pasted on a creepy smile. "That's a chance we are taking. Be honored in your last moments of life."

Rin's eyes widen, and she tugged furiously at what tied her there. When facing death, one usually panics, and thrashes at anything he or she can, which Rin did. She was to young to die...again.

Sesshoumaru would come for her, but she feared something already happened to him.

When the room went silent, she turned her gaze up on the black stone roof thinking silently. A miko, they were going to use her body to revive a dead miko? It didn't make much sense to why, but it chilled her to the bone.

Mrs. Higurashi titled her head to the side examining her work at repairing a torn dress.

"It's almost unnoticeable." Her voice was weak, and nearly inaudible.

She took a deep breath before returning the dress to the box, and closed it tightly.

'How long has it been now?' She asked herself mentally wiping the dust of the box, which clearly said, in black ink 'Kagome's possessions.'

Some of the things she couldn't bring herself to get rid of. It made her heartache thinking about the memories. Where was she now? Was Kagome happy there at least? Happier then she was here?

Her dreams brought her comfort; she'd always have dreams that one day she would find Kagome coming from the well. That there was a problem, and that's why she couldn't return.

But that was not the case. Kagome was dead, and she shouldn't come back.

"Mom!" Souta's voice snapped her out of her thoughts alarming her to stash the box away.

There was no more point in giving the boy any more bad memories of his dead sister.

Souta ran in the room looking distressed and flustered.

Mrs. Higurashi closed the closet, and knelled over next to him.

"Mom!" He cried again between panting and trying to get his words in order.

"It's Kagome!"

Mrs. Higurashi arched an eyebrow confused. Kagome?

"The scroll to the picture of Kagome." He held up a picture covered with a scroll.

Mrs. Higurashi snatched it up from he grasp putting it behind her back.

"I thought I told my father not to scare you like that. None of it's true." She recalled awhile ago the picture they had of Kagome mysterious had Kagome disappear.

Her father had said it must have been an evils work, and slapped a scroll on it. 'This is not a subject she should be joking around on.' She decided firmly.

Souta shook his head rapidly regaining his cool. "No mom, look under the scroll."

For some reason, he seemed happier then usual. His mother brought it back to her face and ripped off the scroll.

"Kagome's back. Kagome's back in the picture."

The picture had been restored to normal, but there was something that didn't seem right in her eyes. Something that even Mrs. Higurashi could feel was off.

Worrying her son wouldn't help the situation any. She just shrugged, made up the first soothing thing that came to her mind.

"That's funny, I just had a dream of Kagome last night. She became a pop star, but was going around helping everyone with their own problems." She gave a weak laugh placing her hand on his back to lead him out of the room.

"Sounds like Kagome doesn't it?" She got a reassuring nod hoping for him to forget everything that was just said.

~~~

"Kagome~" A voice drifted in her mind lulling her eyes closed.

"Wha-whats going-" She forced herself to stay awake, she didn't need sleep when she was dead.

"Your coming with us. Your coming back to Earth."

"Earth?!? Why there?" She felt herself being slowly pulled down.

"We need your help." The voice was nothing but a whisper pulling her down into a deep sleep.

"I'm- I'm suppose to stay here until Kikyou dies."

"Your coming with us. Back to Earth."

"Who-" Kagome's eyes snapped open, but she could see nothing, but a strange aqua blue.

She could feel nothing at first, but in less then a moment a surging pain rocked her body causing her to double over as much as a soul could. It felt like her soul was being ripped apart. Shattered in other words.

The blue exploded with brightness before dimming out, and vanishing. The last thing she could recall was looking down upon the world, seeing the night sky and looking at the top of green trees.
