Chapter 8: The Connection
Inuyasha couldn't pull Kagome from her sleep this time. She didn't cry out, but her heart was racing quickly, and she was sweating. Everyone watched carefully. Not one sound came out of their mouths. It had been 3 days since she had gone to sleep, and never once did she get up, and eat, shower, or talk. It was a Cinderella cliché. Never to be awakened, until her true love's kiss. Of course, like Inuyasha was willing to kiss her anytime soon…
Kagome just rested, so still. Her normally beautiful face was beginning to fade, and odd scars were found all over her body. It was just strange…
Tell me, you love me.
'I do love you…'
Then why should I leave you?
'I must go back and he-'
Help my hanyou brother? Leave me in the bottom of your heart? Most likely you'll find a way to rid me from your body! I won't have it!
His hand slid up her chest, stopping at the mid-point, above her heart.
I am here, and I always will be here. I won't let you go until you feed my hunger. Find the real one and I will not bother you ever again…that is…until you betray me…
'I can't!'
Then I shall never leave.
He tossed her to the ground, pinning her onto the floor. She closed her eyes and tried to fight.
'INUYASHA!'
'INUYASHA!'
"Inuyasha! Wake up," Kaede said, shaking his body. He woke up with a start, not finding Kagome in his arms. "She's gone, Inuyasha!"
"Gone? What do you mean?" he asked, looking concerned. 'That bitch probably got herself into more trouble…'
"She woke up, walked past me, and disappeared. Her eyes were dilated though," Kaede explained.
"A possessing charm?" he asked.
"Most likely," she replied. "But where would she go? What is possessing her?"
"Whatever it is, it's been bothering her since I led her to Kouga's territory."
"Kouga, possessing her?"
"Not possible."
"Why not?"
"As much as I hate to admit it, he's too good of a demon." Inuyasha growled.
"Anything else?"
"Well, I remember her muttering something about Aki, demon, Jewel of the Heart, and so-."
"Wait! Jewel of the Heart?" Kaede asked. "That's a spell!"
"What?" he asked. Kaede went to her bookshelf and pulled out a piece of parchment. She looked around then tapped it.
"Here! It's a spell to warn people about the future…but Kagome's future is far ahead…."
Kaede immediately tore the parchment up. She threw it into the dirt and stomped it.
"Wait! What are you doing?" Inuyasha asked. "That might be the only way to help Kagome!"
"We aren't dealing with dark magic. We're dealing with time! Someone in Kagome's time messed it around so that the world has fallen out of order. Now the Guardians are probably trying to correct it all!"
"Guardians?"
"They guard the Gates of Time. If you ever come in contact with one, they'll try to kill you to make sure you don't disrupt the future. If you do, then one of their siblings, most likely that guardian, will die."
"So what your saying is someone is breaking the rules?" Inuyasha asked.
"Exactly," Kaede replied. Inuyasha just stared.
"Then where would Kagome go?"
"Remember when I read Kagome's fortune and she was to fall in love with a demon?" Kaede asked.
"Yeah." Inuyasha didn't exactly remember the day but he had to keep Kaede on a roll…
"Well, it was actually a dog demon, and I didn't want to disrupt time. But…it didn't necessarily mean you, I see that now. It could mean…"
Inuyasha left in a hurry, leaving Kaede talking to air. He leapt from tree to tree. He had to stop her, before something horrible happened. A demon mates for life, taking only one and protecting that one. Of course, his father broke that rule 2 times (three in the future..-winkwink-) but that didn't matter! He had to save her…
Sesshomaru brushed Kagome's hair from her face. He took a sniff of her scent, inhaling deeply, and never letting that breath to escape. It was wonderful, and he couldn't let it go.
'Let me out!' Kagome tried to bang on the walls of the darkened room but it was infinite. She couldn't feel the edges. But she knew something was wrong, her heart was beating rapidly. Every now and then she would feel something touch her shoulder or her arm, but she turned and turned and never saw what it was. She felt like it was undressing her, and when she touched her stomach, it was bare. She cried out for help, but nothing would come.
When Inuyasha arrived, he saw Sesshomaru undressing Kagome. He too was in a trans. The hanyou raised his fist in attack, and went to Sesshomaru…but then…
Kagome laid down in her heart, feeling weak and powerless…her stomach was absorbed in flames…all of her lower body…was weak…
