Attack
~~~Nighttime~~~
"Inu Yasha…come…back…sit…"
Kagome mumbled in her sleep. She was in the midst of a dream, running towards Inu Yasha as he drifted farther away.
"Don't go!"
Kagome screamed in her dream as she reached out her hand to grab his hand.
"Look, Kagome, don't get all mushy gushy on me! You have a world to save and you have to complete the Shikon no Tama!"
"Inu Yasha, I need you though! I can't do this!"
"You have all our friends around you to help you. Sango, Miroku, even that brat, Shippo, and Sesshomaru. I didn't want to leave you, but I had to. You're in good hands."
Inu Yasha turned around and embraced Kagome, in the dream that is. Kagome's eyes filled with tears.
"You weren't supposed to leave me."
"I know, but I will come back."
"Sit."
Inu Yasha dropped from the embrace, scowling. His face planted to the ground as he shouted threats at Kagome. His usual fiery temper returning.
"Hey! Why'd you do that, wench!"
"For old time's sake."
Kagome replied as she was awoken by a shake. Sango was the culprit who woke her up.
"Kagome are you alright? You were crying and shouting in your sleep. You were…talking about Inu Yasha…"
Sango stopped as her friend sat up, wiping her eyes of tears.
"Inu Yasha, I think he's alive."
"Kagome, we all saw him…die."
"No, it's not true!"
Kagome got up, and ran off leaving everyone in the camp dumbstruck. Kagome ran and ran until she could run no further. She finally came to a stop by a dying tree. Tears flowed freely as she cried to her heart's content.
"He's alive. He is."
"Maybe he is."
"Sesshomaru? How would you know? You would not bring him back with your sword before. I know he's alive, but."
Kagome gave a frustrated sigh.
"You wouldn't know. Why are you helping us? You hated Inu Yasha."
"Irizu is much too powerful for me alone. I have tried, but failed. Tensaiga saved me from dying once again, like it has saved me other times."
Sesshomaru glanced down at his sword, a reminder of his father.
"So he's that powerful? Would we have better luck now?"
"Perhaps."
"I must find the last jewel shard, but it has been lost for a while. Maybe we should complete the Shikon no Tama before facing Irizu. What happened to Jaken though?"
"Maybe we should. I sent Jaken off somewhere to find me something."
"Find what?"
"That is business that does not concern you."
"I think I shall return now."
Kagome got up and walked past Sesshomaru. Her mind filled with questions and thoughts.
~~~Camp~~~
"Kagome, I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what?"
"Did I hurt your feelings when I talked to you this morning?"
"No, it's alright, Sango."
"If you say so."
~~~Walking~~~
They continued to walk. Koga had sent three of his men to scout ahead. Only one came back.
"Irizu forces ahead. Killed the other two!"
The wolf youkai collapsed from fatigue.
"Let's go!"
Koga shouted as they headed for the upcoming battle. The group charged on seeing Irizu's force up ahead. The forces clashed together. Although Kagome's side were more experienced in battle and stronger, the larger number of Irizu's force greatly outnumbered them.
Kagome was determined to get right to Irizu and slay him. She knew her newfound powers were helpful, but were they strong enough? It was a risky thing, most likely she'd die before even getting to Irizu.
"IRIZU! Come out and fight me!"
Suddenly out of nowhere a strange voice came from Kagome.
"Wha?"
Some fighters looking towards her. Kagome's voice filled with hatred and anger. It somehow resembled Inu Yasha's voice…
The ground rumbled as Lord Irizu joined the ranks of his soldiers. Coming towards Kagome, with his giant hammer ready.
"I shall fight you then, Inu Yasha!"
Suddenly Kagome's heart felt half empty. A flash of red appearing before her.
Soon the faded red became bolder. Silver white hair mixed with the red cloth. The hair was long with two furry ears on the top.
WAIT! Furry ears? Is that, could it be? Inu Yasha?
"I see you've left the safety of that girl."
"Leave her alone, Irizu. This is between us."
The Tetsusaiga grew larger in his hands. A yell came from Yusuke from the other side. Another figure stood next to Inu Yasha. Short with a feminine form. Her face was young and pretty with pink hair folded into a tight single braid.
"Genkai, just in time to join the party."
"Shut up and prepare to fight!"
Suddenly Inu Yasha jumped up along with the one known as Genkai. Both of them flickered and appeared right next to Irizu. Inu Yasha slashed with his sword. Genkai sent a blast of spirit energy right into Irizu's face. It revealed electronic parts inside. Soon it self-destructed.
"RETREAT!"
One of the higher ranked youkai shouted. They all retreated leaving many dead behind. Kagome kneeled on the ground, crying her eyes out.
"I knew it, I knew it. You are alive."
She lifted her head to see the fading Inu Yasha and Genkai. Inu Yasha stepped closer to Kagome and kissed her on her forehead.
"Stay alive and complete the Shikon no Tama. When we meet again…."
Both of the once dead fighters disappeared from sight. Only another saw this as he was the first to arrive on the scene.
"GRANDMA!"
Yusuke shouted before watching as the young Genkai faded away from sight. A slight smirk on her face.
"What happened?"
Sesshomaru demanded as he looked at the Irizu puppet.
"Inu Yasha…he was here, alive. Inu Yasha was inside of me the whole time. My heart, it feels so…so empty."
"I know how you feel. The same thing happened to me except with…Genkai."
Yusuke said quietly, his clothes torn from the battle. Looking dirty and tired like the rest of the group. Sesshomaru reviving fallen members of the force.
"They could be alive and they sure did get…powered up."
Yusuke said as he glanced at the remaining parts of Irizu.
~~~Camp~~~
"He's alive, I knew it!"
Kagome shrieked as Sango tried to calm her down.
"Kagome, calm down and drink this. You must eat and rest."
She handed Kagome a bowl of stew to have. The camp rested while Kagome sat on a tree branch.
"Inu Yasha, why won't you stay and be with me?"
Kagome muttered to herself.
"Just when I thought that our worries would be over, they just get worst. I can't go on like this!"
She held back tears that were trying to break free.
"I thought we'd have a fairy tale ending, Living happily ever after like in all those books!"
"We will one day…"
Suddenly Kagome went limp, her body about to fall until Kurama caught her and gently set her down.
"What's going on Kagome?"
~~~Kagome~~~
Her mind drifted away from her body to meet Inu Yasha.
"Inu Yasha…"
"Kagome…"
"Come back, I saw you alive back there."
"I can't, Kagome, I'm held back by the law that keeps me alive. I did die and I'm not really alive. I was brought back to live, to protect a place called Eden. I can't be with you any longer. Go to the north, Kagome. When we meet again…"
That phrase stuck in her head. When we meet again.
What did it mean?
Suddenly she was shaken away by strong hands. Her eyes gently opened finding Kurama staring right back at her.
~~~Camp~~~
"Kagome are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"You fell out of the tree, went kind of blank too. No matter what I did, you wouldn't wake up."
Kagome slowly sat up, a new feeling within her body.
"Something is happening…"
"Huh?"
"…to me."
"What to you mean?"
"I've been having these dreams lately…and these new powers keep on working for me as if it has a mind of it's own."
"Perhaps it's temporary."
"I don't think so. A feeling tells me that it may be permanent and I'll never be the same."
"Oh-"
Suddenly Kagome interrupted Kurama with a wave of her hand.
"Shh…there's something watching us. Wake up a few, only the stronger fighters. There's something we must do."
Soon Kurama and Kagome woke up several of the sleepers. Most of them had been awake the whole time. Soon Sesshomaru, Hiei, Kuronue, Sango, Yusuke, Kurama, and Kagome left with Kagome leading.
"Where are we going?"
Sesshomaru demanded.
"Eden."
"What is this Eden place?"
"Where the first fall of mankind happened…But isn't that just a legend?"
Kurama was puzzled as the rest were except for Kagome.
"No, it's real."
Kagome's body glowed a silvery white color. It seemed like fire engulfing her. Her eyes turning to a silvery color.
"Kagome what's happening to you?"
"Nothing."
~~~Walking Towards Eden~~~
The rest of the way was silent. Kagome's glow becoming brighter with each step. The walking got tougher since the plants around them grew larger and more common.
"We are here!"
Kagome announced and pushed away two giant leaves that were in the way. Up high was a floating island. If you were up close, you would have seen the beauty of it all. Gardens of magnificent flowers and trees. Animals running wild while souls wandered the huge garden. It seemed so peaceful, golden light gently showering it. Two figures stood out from the rest. Inu Yasha and Genkai.
Suddenly the ground began to shake as an army of Irizu's came marching down.
"We have to get up there before the army gets up there. Then they will let the island float higher. They are letting it come down too low. Hurry!"
Kagome shouted.
The island was in jumping height for the demons. Yusuke was thrown up there roughly by Sesshomaru. He flew like a birdy and came crashing down on the ground. Kuronue carried Sango since she was unable to jump that high. Kurama was about to carry Kagome when she closed her eyes and levitated up there. It puzzled Kurama on how Kagome could do this. As the last of the group jumped on, it floated higher and higher, out of the army's reach.
"So this is Eden."
Kurama said while looking at the flowering garden.
"It's spectacular."
Suddenly a loud slapping noise came from behind him, interrupting the vast calmness. Sango had just slapped someone who happened to trail along. Miroku stood rubbing his cheek as Rin and Shippo ran around.
"HENTAI!"
Sango's hand was twitching from the slap, the red mark clearly visible on Miroku's face.
"How did you get here?"
Sango began to calm down.
"We followed you and we climbed a tree to get to this place. Rin and Shippo insisted on coming."
Suddenly everyone was thrown down, the island lifting up higher and higher. A golden shield covering it. Kagome was off standing next to Inu Yasha. Yusuke was currently unconscious from the fall lying in a bush. The two rascals jumping up and down on his body.
When the lifting finally ended, Kurama wandered around. The roses attracting his eyes in assorted colors, yellows, reds, and whites. During that time, Kagome talked with Inu Yasha.
"Why can't you come with us!"
"Because, I'm bound to this place like Genkai is!"
Inu Yasha shouted in an outraged tone.
"How did this even happen to you!"
"I DON'T KNOW! Wench…"
"SIT!"
Inu Yasha was brought down to the ground in his style of sitting.
"Why'd you do that!"
His voice was muffled by the ground, slowly trying to get up.
"That was for dying."
"I died because I was trying to save you!"
"You don't know how much you hurt me when you died!"
Kagome was on the brink of tears.
"I didn't want to die!"
"Then I'm going to bring you back with the Shikon no Tama."
"You can't!"
"Why not?"
"Because the Law won't let it happen! It'll be an empty wish!"
"What is the LAW?!"
Kagome shrieked, the yell echoing around Eden.
"The Law is the force that controls the world. It brought us back to life. Look Kagome, you can't stay here long. This place is the target. Irizu wants to seize this place."
"I'll stay here and protect this place with you."
"NO!"
"I can because of my new powers!"
"This place is for the dead. You're alive. It won't work out."
While this was happening in Eden, Koga and his group followed the tracks of Kagome and the other, slowly following them. The ground shook, announcing the presence of Irizu as he loomed closer.
AN: Yes, I know I haven't been updating this story much. Getting sidetracked by Anime School and my next story premiering soon.
