Negoda bent down to one knee and stared at his reflection in the lake. He was sure that this was the lake that Kagome spoke of. Anagi soon appeared and was breathing hard.
"I wish you wouldn't rush." She complained. "Kagome's life is in danger. There's no room for anything else." Was her brother's reply. Anagi observed her surroundings. "Was this the lake she spoke of?" she asked and Negoda nodded. He seemed to be concentrating. Though Anagi didn't notice. "Well which way do we go now?" she asked.
"We can't go north because we just came from there."
"Obviously."
"I don't think west would be right either because if Kagome's human nose smelled water then the wind must have carried the lake's scent and the wind is blowing mostly south and east today. So it's either east or south."
"I know that."
"Well what if--"
"Negoda!" a girl cried. Negoda and Anagi turned around to see none other than Kagome. Negoda ran and hugged her. "But how did you escape?" he asked. "That doesn't matter." She replied and buried her face in his chest. Negoda was overwhelmed with joy. He was just about to kiss her when he was interrupted.
"NEGODA LOOK OUT!" Anagi called out in sudden alarm. Negoda turned but saw no danger. "What's wrong?" he asked and saw Anagi's face go pale with fear. She pointed but was too late.
"What are you--" Negoda let out a cry of surprise as he felt something driving through his chest. Within a few seconds an arm had fully passed through Negoda's body. He turned around and saw Kagome's eyes. They were like black voids.
Negoda grabbed Kagome's arm and pulled it clean off. The fake Kagome wriggled a bit before trying to attack Negoda again. Though Negoda was ready this time. He kicked Kagome in the stomach and quickly broke the neck. The Kagome shriveled into dust and blew away.
"Ozonu's trick." Negoda said covering his wound with one hand. He turned to Anagi. "How did you know?" he asked and she pointed to Negoda's hand that still held the arm.
"Her arm was supposed to be broken. You just tore it off and it was still intact when you did." She said matter-of-factly. Negoda dropped the arm and it too shriveled and blew away. Negoda winced and inspected the medium size hole that was close to his heart. Too close. Anagi ran over and inspected it.
"I can stop the bleeding but I can't heal it completely." She confirmed and started the process. "Your in no condition to fight." She told him but he didn't care. He was going to rescue Kagome. Even if it cost him his life. ----------- --------------------------- --------------------------------- -----------------------------
Kagome awoke and automatically screamed. The pain had returned at full blast. Kazumatta laughed. "Your awake." He said. Kagome only looked down. Her eyes held no emotion but her heart held hope. 'He's coming. He promised.' She told herself. She smiled and Kazumatta saw.
"Thinking of Negoda?" he asked. He did not receive a reply but it didn't matter. " I Suggest you think of more important things. As soon as he comes here, he will die."
Instead of being surprised or fearful Kagome started giggling. It was low and quiet at first but as the seconds passed it became louder until finally Kagome let out a full blasted laugh. Kazumatta's eyes narrowed.
"What is so amusing?" he asked. Kagome looked straight into his eyes and smiled. "You are going to get your ass kicked." She said. Kazumatta frowned, walked over, and held Kagome's face in the palm of his hand. Her face was still wet from tears and it was burning through Kazumatta's skin but he painfully ignored it.
"Give me a good reason to keep me from killing you right now." He hissed.
"I don't have any. So just kill me." Kagome replied with a kind of bravery and rudeness she had NEVER felt.
Kazumatta slapped her. "Fool," he cursed. "Don't you value your life?" he asked. Kagome seemed to wander off for a moment but another slap from Kazumatta brought her back to the task at hand.
"Don't ignore me. This is reality. So wake up." He said and let go of her.
"How do you know?" she said. "How can you really tell if we are dreaming or not? Because we feel pain? And love? Any nightmare or dream can provide that for you. As far as I'm concerned I'm awake and asleep at the same time." Kagome said. With this she thought of Inuyasha and the pain he had brought. Her nightmare. Then of Negoda and the joy he had given her. Her dream. To add them both was to create the world she was in. She was asleep and all she wanted to do was wake up.
"You're insane." Kazumatta concluded. He turned around and sat down. He was trying to block out the annoying girl's voice.
"Insanity is another concept. When we think and act different from a group we are called insane and tossed aside. When do we cross the line from sanity and go into insanity?" she asked. Then she giggled once more. "I sound like Negoda." She said to herself.
She was suddenly gasping for breath as Kazumatta was choking her. Using his speed he had turned around and on instinct wanted to kill the girl. Then his sudden adrenaline faded away and he released his grip a bit. Kagome's chains rattled and she winched as her broken limb bounced slightly from all the movement.
"If you do not hold your tongue right now, I'll be sure to rip it out for you." He threatened. Kagome smiled once again and stuck her tongue out for him. This annoyed Kazumatta to the fullest. He looked at his arm, which was bleeding from when he had touched her. He slowly brought it to his face and licked up a bit of his own blood. His black magic flowed around his arm as he did so. He looked at Kagome and, using his power, punched her. She jerked to the side so hard that the chain that linked to her broken arm was pulled out of the boulder with brutal force. Kagome screamed again at the pain but it quickly subsided into its normal ache.
Her hair fell over her eyes and tears slid down her cheeks. "Why won't I wake up?"
----------------- ------------------------------ --------------------------- --- --------------------- -----
"YOU BASTARD!!" a voice yelled as Negoda was suddenly knocked down. He looked up to see Inuyasha pinning him down. "I'll kill you." He said and raised his claw hand ready to strike.
Miroku jumped on Inuyasha and pulled his arm back. "It's not his fault." The monk said.
"At least he's trying to save her." Anagi piped in. Inuyasha stared at Anagi with a death glare.
"This is grown people business." He said.
"Hey! I'm older than you and the monk put tog--" she stopped when Negoda raised a hand to silence her. Anagi put on a fake smile and giggled nervously.
"Uh, You're right. I'll just go over there and learn my A B C's." she said and walked over to where Shippo and Sango were standing.
"What did she just say?" Inuyasha asked but Negoda just stood up and dusted off his clothes. He wiped over his wound but gave no sign of pain. Yet Inuyasha could see it in his eyes. Angered, the hanyou grabbed Negoda by the collar.
"You're injured! How the hell are you gonna save Kagome if you're hurt?" he asked. They suddenly heard a quick blood-curdling scream.
"That's Kagome! She mustn't be far." Sango yelled. Inuyasha dropped Negoda.
"Let's go." He said.
They started off in the direction of the scream. Anagi and Shippo were holding hands and Miroku had his arm over Sango's shoulder. They each had someone. Someone who could help them share their pain and joy. Someone who would laugh and cry with them. Someone to love. Inuyasha and Negoda looked ahead and tried as hard as they could not to feel the tinge of jealousy from the two couples. Then they thought of what drove them on. The one person who could give them all they desired.
Kagome.
