Final Breakdowns and Still Doubting

Chapter 2

After a couple of hours Inuyasha, understood a LITTLE of the game.

*Geez! I'm getting bored around here…*

Something else bugging him too…

*Stupid Miroku! How does HE know about this game anyway…Lechery roots or something?! It isn't like him, more something for Kagome to think of…By the way…what's the wench doing right now? Let's go check upon her…dating with boyfriends…*

He added actions to his thoughts and jumped out of his tree. He went to the well and, as he jumped in, he disappeared out of the Sengoku Jidai.

Meanwhile, Kagome was studying for a history test. Not something very special…but there was something quite interesting. The test was about the period Inuyasha lived. There were things excavated. Those things looked terribly the same as Sango's Hiraikotsu and Miroku's staff. Also there was a piece of baboon-fur found, like the one from Naraku…The real Naraku. But…there were skeletons found at that place. It freaked her out. What in the world happened there? It certainly were the remains of the final battle against Naraku. If it was a puppet again, the whole baboon stuff would've faded. But why were those skeletons there if they had beaten Naraku…A scary story of betrayal crossed her mind…

Kagome woke up suddenly, when she heard the window open. Inuyasha came in, she saw that, but she just acted like she was still asleep.

"Kagome! Show me what's so impor…" he started, but then he saw her asleep, next to her book.

*Kawaii…*

"Huh, what's this?" he said as his eyes focussed on the history book, especially at the pictures in it. He gazed at the pictures but couldn't figure the scene.

"What the…" Inuyasha really wanted to know what happened. The more he looked at the book, the more he got confused. What does this mean?

Kagome had seen (heard) it all. She had to do her best to hold in her laugh. Inuyasha really could make strange faces…

Now Inuyasha wanted to know some answers. He gently tried to wake Kagome, by brushing her face gently with his fingers.

*I'm glad you're not awake now…I can feel the latest sits as if it were just a minute ago…*

Kagome mumbled something like: "Mom…is it…morning…already? Lemme sleeeeeeeep!" and thought she was a very good actress.

"Kagome! Wake up already!" Inuyasha said, while laying the book on the ground and he gently shook her. Kagome mumbled something again: "Inuyasha? Do you…love…me?"

Inuyasha stiffened. WHAT did she just say?

"But…No! Don't! Stop it! Please…Kikyo…Kikyo…NO!" and with that Kagome opened her eyes in shock. She looked around her, as if she knew nothing about her sleepy talk.

"Eh? WHA! Inuyasha! Don't sneak upon me like that! You scared me to death!"

*You scared ME to death with your screaming! What were you thinking?*

Inuyasha still stood frozen by what she had said before.

"I found something interesting in my history book…HEY! Where has it gone to?"

"I've seen it already! It doesn't make any sense!" he said, while pointing at the history book.

"Ah…There it is! But Inuyasha, you can't read, can you? There's all whole story connected to the pictures!"

"Tell me, then!"

"Inuyasha, pay attention, okay? This is important stuff."

"Yeah, yeah!"

"Okay, it says that the giant boomerang is made from the bones of strange creatures, not known to any of the scientists that…"

"Boring…Already knew that!"

"But it's important!"

"I don't see what's important in Sango's Hiraikotsu!"

"It IS important! Why are you here, by the way!"

"I ehm…got lost and fell into the well…"

*Yeah right! That's a really CHEEP lie!*

"So the Great Inuyasha got lost… and FELL into the well… sure…"

"It's the truth…"

"Alright, just forget it! My history book says a lot of boring stuff, but there is something important. It says there were found skeletons with all the stuff."

"But who's gonna beat Naraku if we all die?"

"That's what I thought. But then I took a look at the NUMBER of skeletons, and…"

"Yeah? If there's something you gotta tell me!"

"My guess is…" Kagome swallowed her words. This wasn't gonna be easy.

*Shit! I know it already, Kagome. You think I'd beat Naraku, but you all die. But I could never let all of you just die! I couldn't!*

"Naraku vanishes if you defeat him, right, because he's a youkai."

Inuyasha just nodded. He still couldn't think of himself letting them die.

"So that means…If I count the skeletons, there are only four skeletons. Only four. Someone didn't die. I think I know who that someone is…but…Why do the rest of us all die?"

"Kagome! I couldn't let you all die! I can't do that! I would protect you and the others just as normal! Just as normal in a battle!"

"But are you in a battle, Inuyasha? Are you in the battle…or do you come too late, when we all are dead?"

"Look, maybe I'm dead too! Why is it you're so sure I'm the one that lives? Maybe I vanished just like Naraku! After all, I'm half demon! You never saw me die, did you?

"But then your fur should be found, Inuyasha! It doesn't make any sense! I think we should be aware of Naraku's schemes, this is valuable information! We should get profit from it!"

*But wait a minute…What if…Shit!*

"Kagome, are you sure about who dies? Maybe…maybe I got you angry again and I come to get you…and the ones that die are Miroku, Sango, Shippo and…Kaede? If Naraku attacks when I'm at your time…"

"I didn't think about that before! I guess you're not as simple minded as we all think you are!"

Kagome flew at him and smiled.

*What the…Well, she is really cute like this…*

"Eh! But then we should get back to the village as soon as possible! Come on, we don't have time to lose!"

*I thought you had TESTS tomorrow…And what about your friend?*

They ran to the well and jumped in as fast as they could.
