Chapter 13
Bridge of the Afterlife
InuYasha opened his eyes, where was he?
He sat up quickly.
"Where's Kagome?!"
Taking in his surroundings, he understood why Kagome was not with him.
He had been asleep on the back of a pond, soft grass was underneath him and everything was soft and easy on the eyes. There was a small bridge that crossed over the narrower part of the pond. It was peaceful in a way that no place on earth could be.
He was in the afterlife.
Standing up he found he no longer had the Tetsusaiga with him. There was no need for it here anyway, so why should he have it?
"InuYasha?" A soft voice called from behind him.
He turned but saw no one, but the voice had seemed to come from the bridge. He walked nervously over to it and looked across it. Still there was no one. He looked over his shoulder for a split second, and when he looked back, he saw . . .
"Mother?"
She was standing right in front of him, smiling softly. Her long raven hair swept down to ankle length, and her deep brown eyes looked at him fondly. She wore a twelve-layer kimono, one of royal house, all of them colorfully decorated in different styles, long and billowing as they were, it didn't restrict her movement.
She took a step towards him, and he backed away. He had been deceived once before by someone who was pretending to be his mother, and he wasn't going to allow it to happen again. He shot a quick glance to the waters reflection, he saw himself and . . . his mother? Indeed! Her sweet face reflected in the shimmering pond water. She was no illusion.
"Oh, my boy, my little InuYasha . . ." tears filled her eyes as she gazed upon her son. InuYasha felt slightly embarrassed under her gaze. What did she think of him? With all that he had done?
"May I . . .?"
The hanyou turned his gaze back to the woman, who was smiling ruefully.
"May I embrace you?"
He was slightly shocked, but nodded. With a soft, liquid grace she closed the space between them and hugged him. To his surprise, InuYasha found himself hugging her back. It took him a few moments to find that she was crying.
"Why are you crying?" he demanded, a little harsher than he had intended.
'Was it something I did?'
She stepped back and wiped her tears gently with her overly long sleeve.
"My poor boy, I must apologize."
InuYasha was struck dumb.
"For what?"
"For leaving you alone, in that cruel and evil world. I should have fought harder to live." The tears were gone; a melancholy look was spread across her features in their place.
"Feh, it wasn't your fault. Besides, I grew up okay." He replied roughly.
"Yes, but you did not have the love you should have."
He froze; it was true. He had had a very rough and lonely childhood. That was main reason why he fell in love with Kikyo (A/N DIEE!!!! *cough* sorry) for they were together in their loneliness. He never really knew happiness until he met Kago-
He stopped in mid thought; the memory was too painful to bear. Her sweet smile, her voice, her touch . . .
He wasn't going to ever see her again . . .
For when she did die, she would go to Paradise, while he was headed for-
'Wait a minute!'
"Why am I here anyway? I should be going to Hell! I shouldn't be here! What did I do to deserve to be here in the first place?!"
"You are here, because you have a good heart,"
InuYasha spun around to look at the source of the new voice. It was deep and warm, but demanded a certain amount of respect. When his gaze fell on the speaker, his eyes widened in shock. Stepping through the mist, off of the bridge, was a tall majestic demon. He wore an outfit and armor similar to that, which was worn by Sesshomaru. In fact, InuYasha would have said that it _was_ his older brother, except for some essential details. This demon's face was aged, yet wise and had a sense of power. He had a more powerful build then that of the two younger demons (Sesshomaru and InuYasha) he also had two katanas on his belt, one on each side.
"And you have people who love you." He finished, now standing in front of the hanyou.
InuYasha had to shake himself out of his trance.
"What are you talking about?" He huffed grumpily. "People who love me . . . right!"
The large demon smiled.
"To be loved is not something to be ashamed of. It is something to be cherished and sought for; and though you have not searched for it, it has found you."
InuYasha pouted, "I still don't get why I'm here."
"You are right. You shouldn't be here."
InuYasha looked at his parents questioning.
"You cannot cross this bridge, InuYasha." His mother said softly, touching his cheek lightly. She smiled at him and then turned to stand by her husband's side.
"But-!"
"You cannot cross," his father began, cutting him off, "because it is not yet your time to die."
InuYasha looked confused, what were they babbling about? He was dead!
Wasn't he?
This one swift movement, his father unsheathed the Tenseiga from his left side. InuYasha tensed not sure what to expect next.
The full demon just held it in front of InuYasha, so that the blunt of the sword was facing him. With his free hand, he wrapped an arm around his wife and held her close.
"Touch the Tenseiga, my son."
The hanyou hesitated; was this some sort of a trick?
His mother smiled and nodded toward the outstretched sword.
"Put your hand on it."
Still InuYasha didn't move,
"Why should I?" he demanded, eyeing the sword suspiciously.
"You do not belong here. It is not your time. Though when you do pass on, you will surely end up here." His father finished, holding the sword out to him more.
"Now go, my little InuYasha," said his mother, clinging to her husband's robes, "Go back to the people who love you, and the people you love."
She reached out and gently took his hand.
"Take care, my boy."
With that she put InuYasha's hand down on the sword. There was a flash of light! Intense pain! His senses were kicked back into him at such a heightened volume, he thought that he would die all over again! But through all of this utter chaos, through all of the pain and confusion . . .all he could think of was one thing.
'Kagome . . .!'
~*~*~*~*~*~
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! You liked that didn't you?! I know you would!!! So, can't wait till you see how Kagome takes that he is really alive again? After it's been, oh, about a week? Hmhmhm!! *evil laugh*
