First of all I would just like to say, HOLY CRAP WOW! I had no idea that this story would become this popular on the first try. This was really a one shot deal and all the responses encouraged me so much! I luckily had written the next chapter and so here it is! I hope you all enjoy it and thank you so so much for your reviews! I LOVE REVIEWS! -- Happy Serenita ^_^ Anyways, this is my first Inuyasha fanfic so depending on how popular this one is will determine if I write more in the future. Thank you all so much and enjoy!
PS: I realized too late that I was disclaimerless soooo.....: I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA! (Although I really wish I did, that sexy little dog demon) But, I do however own Kijinyoko (just a reminder to ya all)
Okay enough jibber jabber, here it is! (finally!)
Chapter Two: The Second
Inuyasha ran, he ran towards where his heart carried him so swiftly. Kagome was injured, there was so much blood in the air, too much blood. He moved faster. How could it have happened? How could she have been hurt? The world around him was a blur of colors that were darkened by night. He barely knew where he was, where exactly he was going. But that didn't matter, all he knew, all he thought was that Kagome was in danger, and he had to get to her.
He entered a clearing and stopped suddenly. He felt his breath freeze in his chest, his heart stop, and his body shiver in shock. There on the ground lied Kagome, her blood spilled everywhere around her. Deep gashes could be seen across her chest, her cheek, her legs, and across her stomach. He then realized that she had a deep gaping hole in her abdomen. It was then that he finally found himself and ran towards her side.
"KAGOME!" He dropped to her side and held her limp, frail body in his arms. Her hair, sticky with her blood, clung to his body as he held her close. He shook her trying to wake her up. "KAGOME? KAGOME!? WAKE UP! Damn it...KAGOME! KAGOME!"
"...Inu...ya...sha..." He heard a voice whisper softly. He lifted his head, his eyes meeting her dull, fading ones. She was dying, he could feel it.
"KAGOME! No, please...I'm here! I'm right here! Don't leave! Hang on, Kagome! Please! You got to..." Inuyasha felt himself shaking, his voice showed it. Although tears had formed in his eyes, he did not notice. Kagome took in a deep, ragged breath.
"...I...lo..ve...you...Inu..ya..sh-" It was then her chest fell and didn't rise again. Her eyes went completely blank and lifeless before they shut. Her body went completely limp in his arms. She was gone.
Inuyasha felt the salty tears start to fall. His body froze, his mind unable to accept the fact that she had died. He shook his head as his stared at her body in his arms. It was a sick joke, it had to be. There was no way it was possible. But, it was so real. Everything was so real. "...how did...how could..."
"DON'T TOUCH HER, YOU MONSTER!" He heard a familiar male voice yell gruffly. He lifted his head with effort to meet the glaring eyes of Miroku. Inuyasha looked at him in shock.
"Mi...Miroku...what?"
"I SAID NOT TO TOUCH HER!" Miroku yelled at Inuyasha, pointing his staff at him. Inuyasha recoiled slightly, not letting go of Kagome.
"What happened here, Miroku? How did Kagome..." Inuyasha started but stopped when he heard Miroku's bitter chuckle.
"Don't act so innocent and unknowing! You can't tell me you don't even know what it is that you willingly did!" Inuyasha froze. He felt everything stop in that instant. He...he did this...to Kagome? He shook his head.
"...no...No! I couldn't have! I would never..."
"But you did, you did it mercilessly." Inuyasha felt his body start to shake almost uncontrollably. He...he killed Kagome? Willingly!? No...no...he...he... Everything then suddenly fell away and he was surrounded by darkness. Kagome disappeared from his arms leaving them empty, leaving him empty. His tears fell as he screamed heart-wrenchingly into the cold darkness...
"NO...KAGOME!!!!"
"....no....Kagome...no..." Kagome opened her eyes slowly, awoken by someone speaking softly in the night. She sat up, somewhat disoriented from being half asleep. She turned, trying to locate the speaker. She turned to Shippo, thinking it was him, but he was sound asleep beside her. She turned to Miroku and Sango who were both also sleeping soundly, Kirara in Sango's arms. Kagome then turned to Inuyasha, and what she saw made her heart twinge in pain. Inuyasha...she had never seen such a pained look on his face. He was sweating so much it was practically dripping off of him, his fists were clenched at his side in...anguish? Anger? Fear? She didn't know. She crawled over to his side. He was moaning painfully in his sleep.
"no...please...Kagome..." He must be having an awful nightmare, but... about her? She noticed his breathing quicken suddenly. Something was wrong. Kagome placed her hands on his broad shoulders shaking them in attempt to awake him from whatever was torturing him.
"...Inuyasha...Inuyasha...wake up..." She whispered softly. Kagome then suddenly felt Inuyasha's whole body tense up, something that he didn't usually do. "...Inuyasha...?" She whispered, her voice concerned. She then noticed the tears that were falling from his eyes. "...Inuyasha!...Inuyasha!?" She shook him harder, desperate to wake him up. Inuyasha was crying. Inuyasha never cried, and the fact that he was, scared her beyond description. He then took a deep, sharp breath before letting out the most horribly painful yell that she had ever heard.
"NO...KAGOME!!!!"
Kagome's hands flew to her face, tears that had welled up in them falling unchecked. She shook, utterly frightened, not knowing what to do. He was having a horrible vision, that was obvious. It was about her, and whatever was happening to her was causing him such pain. She hated the look on his face, she hated the sound of the pain in his voice. She sobbed harder as she placed her hands on his shoulders and shook him harder.
"Inuyasha? INUYASHA! WAKE UP! WAKE UP, INUYASHA! I'M HERE! I'M HE-HERE!" She shouted to him, stuttering on her last word because of the large lump that had formed in the back of her throat from her tears.
"Kagome-sama? What is wrong with Inuyasha?" Kagome heard Miroku say worriedly as he kneeled beside her. She sniffed, choking on her tears.
"I don't... I do-don't know. He...He just... He won't wake up...he..." Kagome continued, stuttering, but was cut off by Inuyasha's voice softly speaking.
"But...no...wait...Kagome...I love you..."
