Kaoru was sitting next to Kagome for hours at a time. 'Please come back to us, my little Kagome.' She felt a hand on her shoulder that offered comfort. "I'm alright, father."
"Mrs. Higurashi?"
She looked up to see the hand belonged to that beloved hanyou of Kagome's. "Inu Yasha? You're back."
He nodded. "Keade found a way to help her, but I have to be in the room alone with just her and Kagome."
Kaoru wasn't sure about this until she saw the look in his eyes. She nodded. "I trust you to bring my daughter home, to protect her." Without any more question, she got up and left the room.
As she did, Keade came into the room. When she saw Kagome on the bed, the old woman almost broke down in tears. "We are almost out of time. Are you ready, Inu Yasha?"
"Yes."
"Sit beside her and take hold of her hand." She waited until he did as she asked. "Close your eyes and concentrate on Kagome and only Kagome. Make sure nothing breaks your concentration." She saw him nod and she began the chanting once he had his eyes closed.

Inu Yasha found himself in Darkness. He turned every which way and a small object came before him. 'Is that… a door? Where does it lead to?'
**How can you see into
my eyes
Like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb**
'Where is this taking me? It's even cold to me. Something is
missing here. Keade said something about leading her to the light. How can I do
that if I can't find her?'
**Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home**
Inu Yasha took off in one direction that seemed to be
pulling him. 'I have to find her. She's locked away somewhere, lost and alone.
I have to find her quickly. If she doesn't wake up soon…'
**[Wake me up] Wake me
up inside
[I can't wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark
[Wake me up] Bid my blood to run
[I can't wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing I've become**
'I'm her only hope. Where could she be? Maybe I'm doing more
harm than help. Should I get out now? No. Keade said I had to lead her. Come on
Kagome. Where are you hiding? I can't stay out there without you.'
**Now that I know what
I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me, and make me real (make me real)
Bring me to life**
Inu Yasha kept on running through her mind. Different images seemed to flash on either side of him, images of her past. For some reason, only bad memories played. He saw how she reacted when her father had died. She had been devastated. 'Why are there no happy memories?' He kept on running to where he felt himself be pulled.
In front of him, he thought he could see a small creature
curled up in a small ball. 'Kagome?'
**[Wake me up] Wake me
up inside
[I can't wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark
[Wake me up] Bid my blood to run
[I can't wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life**
He kept running towards her, but she seemed so far away,
locked away somehow. 'The darkness is getting thicker. It's as if it's
swallowing her up to make her empty, full of nothing. Oh no you don't! She has
a life to go back to!'
**[I've been living a
lie, there's nothing inside]
(Bring me to life)**
He could do nothing but run towards the image of her before
him. She was still curled up in a ball. The cold chill grew stronger and colder
with each step he took. It was almost as if the darkness was freezing her, and
that he was the only living thing in her mind.
**Frozen inside
without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead**
'Kagome!' Inu Yasha tried to call out to her, but his voice
was lost in the nothingness. 'Why doesn't she move at all?' Suddenly, he
tripped over something and fell onto the 'ground'. When he turned to see what
had caused him to lose his focus, he was met with a shock. 'Kagome?'
**All that's inside, I
can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me**
Inu Yasha picked her up in his arms, supporting her head.
'She's ice cold, but she has to wake up.' "Come on Kagome. You have to wake up.
If you don't wake up here, you'll never wake up out there."
**I've been sleeping a
thousand years, it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything**
As he held her, Inu Yasha could feel something pulse within
his own body. 'It seems like she's calling to me.'
**Without a thought,
without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more**
He could feel that she was fighting so hard and wanted to live. She definitely wanted to live. She was depending on him to save her.
**Bring me to life**
'What can I do to help you?'
**[Wake me up] Wake me
up inside
[I can't wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark**
Inu Yasha's eyes grew wide. 'She is calling to me. I hear
her. What do you want me to do?'
[Wake me up] Bid my
blood to run
[I can't wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life**
A nod at her said he understood. "Kagome! Make the blood run through your veins!" Slowly, she was lifted up above him and floated away a few feet. "Kagome!!!!"
**[I've been living a
lie]
(Bring me To Life)
[There's nothing inside]**
'Oh, Kami, tell me I wasn't too late.' He stood there watching as she was in the mists of darkness. "Kagome?!?"
A bright flash of light went off as a pair of brown eyes came in contact with darkness.
**Bring me to life**
~*~Is that an evil Cliffhanger? The song is Bring Me To Life by Evanescence. I want lots of reviews before I post the possibly last chapter of this fanfic.~*~
