Hi I am sorry if I haven't focused enough on Inu-Yasha and Kagome. I am already on chapter 23 of the sequel that I think is much better than this story. It focuses more on the relationship between Inu-Yasha and Kagome and the bumps along the road. I won't tell you too much now. It just takes me a while to get around to typing the chapters up. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Lost Island Dream
Chapter Five

Resurrection

The next morning Alice was making the preparations for resurrecting Kagome. She had moved Kagome's body out of the cave. It smelled a little bad but it still looked normal except for that fact that she was pale. Sakura had convinced Li to over see the spell and make sure that nothing went wrong.

Four hours later Alice had finished the spell and Kagome started to breathe again. "You actually pulled it off," said Li in disbelief.

"Ha, that shows how much you know," said Alice.

"How do you feel?" asked Sakura.

"I'm feel sleepy and hungry," replied Alice.

"What happened?" asked Kagome.

"You were resurrected," explained Li, "Alice brought you back."

"Don't sniff any more sharpies," said Alice taking a bit out of the mango she had just picked.

"Where's Inu-Yasha?" asked Kagome.

"He is up at the camp," replied Li. "He was injured and we don't know if he is awake yet." Kagome ran up to the camp leaving the others on the beach.

"I didn't know there was a mango tree here," said Sakura taking a mango for her self.

"Neither did I before I looked up," replied Alice.

Kagome ran up the path with her heart pounding. If Inu-Yasha was hurt badly then there must be something horrible on the loose.

When she got to the camp she found a surprised Steven. "Your alive!" he exclaimed.

"Where's Inu-Yasha?" asked Kagome.

"By the fire," replied Steven.

Kagome ran over and saw Inu-Yasha lying on his back with out a shirt. He was not smiling but he hardly ever smiled. Kagome also noticed that his shoulder was covered in bandages. "Inu-Yasha," said Kagome shaking him by the shoulders.

"Hey, watch the shoulder," said Inu-Yasha groggily and waving his hand in front of him. His eyes were still closed.

"Open you eyes," commanded Kagome.

Inu-Yasha slowly opened one eye and then the other. "Kagome!" he yelled as he threw his arms around her. A big smile spread across his face.

"I'm so glad I didn't dream the kiss and you love me!" replied Kagome.

"What did you think? Of course I love you," said Inu-Yasha. "What is it like being dead?"

"It was weird. It was like Kikyo and shared a body except we didn't have a body," explained Kagome.

"I'm glad that your back," said Inu-Yasha. "I missed you."

"I don't believe it, you actually being sentimental."

"I'll stop if you want."

"No, I like it." Kagome put her arms around Inu-Yasha and kissed him. At first he was surprised then he kissed back.

"Anna how much can you eat?" asked Li. "That is your fourteenth mango."

"Don't worry this is my last mango," replied Alice.

They started up the path and as soon as they got to the camp Alice lay down on her bed and went to sleep. "I thought this would happen," said Li. "Using a lot of magic takes a lot of energy."

Steven walked up to Inu-Yasha and Kagome who were still smooching. "Please find a more private spot to do that," said Steven. "If Alice sees you she will probably give you a lecture on how you will die a horrible death from each others germs and do a dramatic death scene."

Inu-Yasha and Kagome looked up. "Why would she do that?" asked Inu- Yasha.

"She is not a fan of love and romance novels make her gag. She also thinks that guys are highly unsanitary. And on top of all that she is Alice," replied Steven.

"Put this on," said Li handing Inu-Yasha a shirt.

"Where is my normal shirt?" asked Inu-Yasha.

"It has a hole in it and it is covered in blood. I have to wash it and sew it up," explained Sakura. Inu-Yasha reluctantly put on the shirt and was about to get up when Sakura stopped him.

"You are confined to bed until that wound heals," she said.

"How bad is it?" asked Kagome.

"Not bad," replied Inu-Yasha.

"He has a hole that goes strait through his shoulder and he almost died. It's thanks to Alice that you are alive," corrected Sakura."

"But Alice it the one who did this to me!" blurted out Inu-Yasha.

"I get it," said Steven, "You and Alice got in a fight and almost finished each other off. You were the one who gave her all those cuts I her back."

"What caused the fight?" asked Kagome.

"I don't want to talk about it," replied Inu-Yasha.

"I'll get lunch going," said Sakura changing the subject. "Will two of you go and catch some fish?"

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

It was late afternoon and Alice woke up and stretched. Getting up she saw that the sun was beginning to set. The others were sitting around the fire arguing about how to cook the fish. "You have to marinade the fish first," said Sakura.

"No you have to poach it," argued Kagome.

"Hello," said Alice, "If were are going to have fish for dinner again then I am going to eat mangos instead with some coconuts off the tree over there."

"No body asked you to eat anything," said Inu-Yasha.

"Well no body asked your opinion."

"I am allowed to state my opinion, am I not?"

"Yes, but it is rude to make comments about what other people are eating."

"Your not Ms. Polite."

"And you are not in a position to judge that that."

"I am very polite, name a situation where I wasn't."

"When I told you I could resurrect Kagome you called me a foul name and that was not polite at all."

"Stop fighting," said Sakura. Inu-Yasha and Alice glared at each other and sat in silence.

"Look at the sunset," said Kagome pointing to the horizon. The watched the sun go down and when it had san behind the horizon a strange red light surrounded Kagome. It got brighter and brighter before it suddenly disappeared. Kikyo was left sitting where once was and Inu-Yasha began to inch away slowly.

Kikyo blinked a couple of times and stood up. Inu-Yasha continued to inch away as she continued to look around. Her eyes landed on him and he froze. All was still as if the world was holding its breath in expectation

Kikyo kneeled down in front of Inu-Yasha and threw her hands around him. "I'm so sorry," she whispered before she burst into tears.

Inu-Yasha was stunned. It was the Kikyo from fifty years ago with the memory of all her lives. "I shouldn't of tried to kill you," she continued. "I don't know what came over me. I've always loved you and I always will."

"Well you will have a disappointment," began Steven. "You see." He was cut off when Alice clamped her hand over his mouth and he shut up.

"I forgive you," Inu-Yasha said awkwardly. "But now I have to choose between you and Kagome."

"Well they share a soul," said Alice. "That is why they are both back. Since they died in a relatively close time frame I couldn't tell which one was which."

"You could have told me earlier," said Inu-Yasha annoyed.

"I was unconscious and when I woke up it slipped my mind," replied Alice.

"Well that solves my problems," said Inu-Yasha to himself. He gave Kikyo a hug. She looked up at him and their eyes met. Inu-Yasha wiped the tears from her eyes. "Don't worry," he said. "Everything will be fine from now on. I've found you again."
