The 4 Part Episode
Part 4: Inside Inuyasha's Heart-
(After opening song, the "Last Time" dialogue with Kagome's voice-)
I'm afraid right now that Inuyasha hates me. I killed Kikyou, but he's blind to see why! He has now run away and I haven't seen him for days. I went back home to study, but I don't really know if it helped. But I'm returning today. I hope I will see Inuyasha as long as he doesn't hurt me!)
(Episode title)
Inuyasha stood by Ginshiboku. He looked at the arrow hole and touched it. "Kikyou" He whispered. Then he heard her voice behind him,
"Inuyasha..."
He turned around with a happy thought, but then he saw Kikyou aiming an arrow at him "...Die!"
Then He heard Kagome scream his name,
"Inuyashaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Then he saw an arrow pierce Kikyou. Kagome stood there with tears in her eyes holding up the bow...
"Kago..."
He woke up in a sudden jolt. He leaned back in shock and he was breathing very hard.
"Kagome"
he whispered... He still felt cold toward her and said out loud,
"I hope you are too scared to come back!"
But then a thought stopped him. He thought about really the look on Kagome's face as in the real life situation and in the dream he just had. Kagome's eyes were filled with pain and tears. She knew this would happen, but she did it anyway. To save his life. But out of the middle of nowhere, his eyes got bigger as he had a sudden flashback of the first day they saw Youkai Kikyou-
Kikyou smiled at the look of distress on Inuyasha's face. Then she walked up near to him, she saw Kagome getting ready to jump in front of him.
"Inuyasha, have you missed me again? Where you thinking about me?"
Inuyasha said,
"Of course I have"
Then she laughed loudly.
"Why are you laughing? I told you I'd always protect and...."
"Love me? She started to laugh hysterically. "What about her?" She pointed at Kagome.
Inuyasha thought,
"What am I going to say?"
Then all of a sudden Kagome said,
"I know! I know about everything!"
Kikyou looked at her,
"And you don't care? I see the look you get on your face when he talks to me. A look of sadness and heartbreak."
Kagome didn't have anything else to say. Inuyasha wanted to look at Kagome, but he couldn't bring himself too.
"Leave her out of this; this is between you and me!"
Kikyou looked at him,
"You and me?" She laughed. "My poor blind hanyou! Haven't you learnt by now? My love for you was trapped in my hatred for you! Besides, I could never love someTHING like you!" She said bitterly.
Most of it was untrue… the old Kikyou still had love for him, but she thrived on the hatred her soul had for him when she died. But after saying that, Inuyasha's face then looked like he was in great pain. Kagome looked at her with a fierce anger,
"How dare you say that!? He devoted his life to you! His love! And you are just going to..."
He looked back at her,
"Kagome", he whispered,
But Kikyou finished Kagome's sentence for her,
"... and what a fool he is too still believed in that! But from the looks of it, he looks like he's in a lot of pain..."
She said as she made a huge ball of energy. She aimed it at Inuyasha. As she was about to throw it, Kagome cried,
"Inuyashaaa!!!!!"
Then at the last second she threw it at Kagome. Inuyasha screamed her name as she flew and hit a tree so hard that it cracked. She finished her sentence,
"Now feel more, Inuyasha!"
He remembered her tone of voice. It wasn't out of jealousy, it was just cruel and cold hearted. Then he had a flash back of what Kaede told him-
"Well, Inuyasha. She (Kagome) knew what she needed to do, but she rather her soul is taken then hurt you, she refused at first because of the thought of breaking your heart!" Inuyasha's eyes got Wider..." Kikyou's plan was to kill you so it would devastate Kagome, so she wouldn't put up a fight with Kikyou taking her soul, so when she heard you come, she posed as if she were helpless. ... but she wasn't going to kill Kikyou, but the thought of you being killed took over her reason, even in pain, she went to save you and the world. Even if it meant herself." "But Kikyou's dead!" "But Kagome's alive!" Then he got up and started too walked away, "But how can I live knowing Kagome killed her!" "Inuyasha! Wait!" He turned around Kaede had almost a desperate look on her face." Kikyou was already dead! Kagome actually rescued her from being evil and causing pain and turmoil" Inuyasha's voice became angry again, "I can't take more of this! I don't care anymore! Not about anything! Not the Shikon shards or anything!" He began to turn around to walk away then he said, "Why should I stay?" Then Kaede yelled, "Because Kagome loves you deeply!" Inuyasha stopped in his tracks, "What?" Kaede said it again, "Because she's deeply in love with you...You really should talk to her, the poor child is scared to death." "Of what?" "Of you! She said that you chased her when you were angry. She said she thought you were going to kill her...."
Then he had another flashback-
"How can I stand to be around Kagome anymore? I can't stand to look at her face anymore!"
Then he cringed at the thought he had just then. He pictured the flashes of yellow strikes come acrossed Kagome's body and a silhouette of three lines of blood that gushed out from her body. He yelled and pounded on a tree.
"Why?! Why did that thought cross my mind?! Why did it?!"
Inuyasha got other flashbacks, of happy, sad, and strong times he and Kagome have shared. Times that He wasn't sure he and Kikyou could have shared. He remembered all the times Kagome comforted him, had faith in him. How once, when he was a demon, he slaughtered an entire army and their horses, but that evening, when he was angry at himself at what he'd done, and he even yelled at her, she still sat by him then kneeled behind him and leaned on him with her hands on his shoulders saying how she wouldn't leave him. Kagome taught Inuyasha trust and compassion. He remembered another flash backs. Of how even though she knew he loved Kikyou, She still wanted to be with him. Then from the few days ago when he tried to seal the well, what Sango asked him,-
"Could you really live without regretting loosing Kagome? Forever? There's no bringing Kagome back if you do this. Not EVER!"
Then once more these words entered his mind,-
"You really should talk to her. The poor child is scared to death."
"Of what?" Then these words echoed in his mind, "Of you!..."
"What am I doing?" He asked himself, "Damn, I'm so selfish! Kagome has gone through hell and back with me, and the one time she risked her life and soul, she saved my life!"
He looked down and thought of the fake Kikyou that lured him in,
"She wasn't Kikyou. Kikyou was trapped inside. The only way to release her was... To kill her"
His eyes shimmered. He remembered the night before she left how she was crying about hurting him, but she was glad for her pain.
"Am I really that cold of a person? I've hurt her so many times, but she hurts me once and I run. I'm a damn fool! I can't stand to be by myself anymore".
"Why should I stay?"
"Because Kagome loves you deeply"
"Kikyou, even when they were alive 50 years ago didn't even confess her love, but she killed me because of her broken heart. I hope she realizes the truth now"
Then he slowly looked up,
"But Kagome...Kagome loves me?!"
A new feeling raged through his heart, he though he did before, but kept his heart to Kikyou, but... His eyes got wide,
"I have to talk to her"
Kagome arrived back out of the well and headed to Kaede's house. She walked slower than usual.
"I've been gone for 4 days; I hope he has come back."
She thought in her mind. She avoided the Sacred Tree and headed into the village. As she walked into town. She heard people whisper things about her. They knew what she did, but she couldn't tell whether they were happy or mad. She walked into the house. Only Kaede was there.
"Kaede-sama? Where is everybody?"
"They went out to find some things for breakfast. They said with or without Inuyasha, they are going to continue the journey in 3 days,"
"Has Inuyasha returned?"
Kaede shook her head.
"The day you left, Sango and Miroku stopped him from destroying the well."
"What?" Kagome looked at Kaede with eyes of a broken heart.
Then she ran out of the house just passing Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and Kirara. They tried to stop her, but she wiggled from them and ran into the forest. She ran quickly through the woods until she came to the Sacred Tree. She slowly walked up to it. The bark spread in the spot he was kept for half a century. She walked up and touched it, she felt the arrow hole.
"This is where I met him."
She rubbed her cheek against the bare wood and tears ran down her face,
"Inuyasha..."
Then she saw something red in the corner of her eye. She looked over and it was gone. She then saw it from the corner of her other eye.
"Oh no, he's here" She whispered to herself.
She began to panic. Her first instinct was to run to the well. She knew he could run faster than her, but she had to try. She ran as fast as she could in the direction of the well. She heard him behind her. She felt like she was being hunted. She began to cry, which blurred her vision, but her adrenaline kept her running as fast as she could. She saw the well and ran faster, when she got up to it, she yelled in relief,
"Yes I made it!"
But she was about to jump in, She yelled
"Osuwari!" to slow him down, unaware he was right behind her, Inuyasha tumbled her to the ground.
She panicked and punched him. He pinned her down holding both of her wrists to the ground and hovered over her. She was crying and she tensed up and whence.
"Dammit! Shut up! I'm not going to hurt you!"
Kagome opened her eyes. He pushed himself up off of her and started to rub his jaw.
"Damn that hurt! You aren't that weak as I thought, are you?"
She couldn't move. He was right before her and she didn't, or couldn't say anything. He looked at her terrified face.
"Aren't you going to say anything?"
He asked her. She thought to herself,
"Why is he acting nice all of a sudden?"
She sat up and asked,
"Why didn't you hurt me?"
She asked, still with a tremble in her voice. He looked at her with a confused look, Kagome than apologized. He knew she was hurt and scared. He did try to hurt her a few days ago. She had every right to be scared.
"Inuyasha..."
Kagome got his attention, but he didn't look. There was an awkward silence for a moment till he began to talk,
"Kagome, You..."
"I'm sorry, I had too!"
"I know!"
Kagome stopped and looked at him,
"Inuyasha?"
He continued,
"I was too wrapped up in the moment and feeling that I didn't care weather it was real or not. I didn't care. I got angry that you stopped the moment that I waited for 50 years to feel..."
Kagome leaned up against the well as she listened to him as he continued.
"It was a feeling that I wanted Kikyou to give me again. I was in paradise..." And he yelled, "You ended it!" She felt the tears coming back, "I blamed you for taking it away. I knew it was fake! But I felt better than in any time of my life."
He looked like he was getting really angry again. She got scared and because he was looking to the ground, she rolled over and crawled a bit, She was to busy trying to escape to hear the "But" She was about to get up until he grabbed her ankle and pulled her back. She remained on the ground. She rolled over and looked up at his very angry face. She felt paralyzed. He pinned her down like before. He was inches from her face,
"Where are you going?"
Kagome's scared face became brave, "You were getting angry! You said you weren't going to hurt me!"
"Well I'm not going to!"
"Then why do you keep pinning me down?" "Because...Because..."
"Because you are planning something. What are you going to do! What..."
As he sat up, he pulled her up with him. But as he sat up, He grabbed her by her shoulders and looked her straight in the face with very stern eyes. They both were kneeling toward each other. She looked into his eyes. Then he pulled her into him… a strange sense of déjà vu overcame them both, but he began to rub his face into her neck, stroking her hair.
"I'm sorry I blamed you… I'm sorry I tried to hurt you…I'm sorry I scared you. You saved me and I was too dumb to realize it…but as I began to think…"
He drew her back and cupped her cheek. Her eyes widened and shimmered. Inuyasha felt her go limp. He slowly drew her in and kissed her, after she was completely against him, he held the back of her head and back. Kagome was stiff. This was nothing like their first kiss (second movie). An electric charge went threw her when .He drew back. His face was a look of shock. Her lips, her kiss... He couldn't resist another, this time Kagome did fall in to it and embraced him. They held each other tightly then their lips separated but they held each other tightly.
"Inuyasha?"
Stroking her hair, he said,
"You have saved me so many times, physical and mentally, you've always been there... And… and… I'll always be here… because..."
He looked down a second. What was keeping him from saying it? He took in her scent, looked in her eyes and whispered,
"I love you."
Her eyes shimmered. Her reaction made him smile warmly.
"…Inuyasha?"
She drew his attention. He still had a face that was in a more a state of shock then ecstasy. But his expression changed. Kagome was still a bit shy, and her chest was so tight from emotional overload. ,
"I love you" She said softly.
Then their eye contact created a bond that they both knew. They knew it was meant to be. They held each other again.
(Commercial)
Inside Kaede's hut- "Have you found her?" Sango nervously asked. Miroku said,
"No, how do we know she didn't go home?"
Shippou pointed to the corner,
"Because everything is still here!" Then he gulped, "Do you suppose that Inuyasha did find her and..."
"Shippou!" Sango snapped at him. He began to sniffle, "I hope she is okay!"
Kaede assured him,
"Everything is alright, if she doesn't return by morning, we will continue the search. She's probably out close by, needing to be alone. I'm sure she'll return soon"
In a tree outside the village, Kagome sat with Inuyasha watching the sunset. Kagome looked at all the beautiful colors of the sunset and commented,
"I love the sunset, it's so beautiful, but it's also the end of a chapter in life," Then she smiled over at Inuyasha, who looked at her with curiosity on his face, then she finished, "And after the sun rises back up, it is the start over! Another blank page! Fresh, with no mistakes!"
Inuyasha smiled back at her. She continued to look at the sunset while Inuyasha stared at her, but then he got a depressed look on his face. Kagome looked over at him,
"Inuyasha?"
He looked up at her questioning face.
"Kagome, you realize what I am... A hanyou..."
Kagome faced him, "Why would that matter?"
He looked at her, "Don't you wish for me to be human?"
Kagome looked at him with saddened eyes,
"Why would I want that?" She looked into his eyes and touched his face, "I love you for who you are. I don't care what you are, because you are not a "what" to me, you are a person."
Inuyasha looked at her and with shocked eyes and whispered,
"Kagome"
She smiled a loving as she leaned on his shoulder.
Sango and Miroku sat in their usual talking spot.
"Do you think Kagome-chan is really alright?" Sango asked while looking at the stars. Miroku smiled and said,
"I have faith in her, she's a tough girl, besides, Inuyasha may be angry, but I doubt that he'd do anything to hurt Kagome."
"How do you know?"
"We both know that Inuyasha loves her, I think he was angry, but probably he found peace with himself."
"I hope you are right..." She paused as Miroku put his hand behind her in a comforting gesture, but as always, His hand goes down further than needed. He squeezed it and said,
"Everything will be fine"
Then you hear a slap as the view pans to other side of the village.
Inuyasha and Kagome are lying down on a hill looking at the stars. One of Inuyasha's arms served as his pillow behind his head, while the other acted as Kagome's. Quietly they stared up into the stars.
"Kagome?"
Inuyasha broke the silence.
"Mmm?"
"When's the next time you have to go back?"
"Why?"
"I was wondering if I could come with you".
She got up and looked at him.
"You never ask!"
Inuyasha talked from the side of his mouth,
"That is true, but I want your permission this time."
Kagome gave him a weird look, but then she sighed with a smile,
"Well, you can, I guess, if you don't bother me at studies and stay in the house while I'm at school."
"Can't you just stay home from school?"
"I can't do that"
"Why?"
"Because school and studies are important. Where I come from, you can't get a good paying job without school. Plus it's the law that I go."
Inuyasha made a pouting face,
"But don't worry Inuyasha, You get to spend plenty of time together with me."
Then Kagome made kind of an angry face when he said,
"I can't bathe with you either, huh?"
Kagome gave him a dirty look. "Just because we are together doesn't mean you get to do perverted stuff to me!"*
Inuyasha's eyebrow twitched,
"Hey! I didn't say that!"
Kagome sighed and curled back up by his side. Inuyasha lay back down too. Then Kagome began to shiver.
"Are you cold?"
She didn't answer. He got up and took of the top of his Haori and wrapped her in it.
"Is that better?"
She sat up and literally threw herself in his arms and held him tightly. He slowly closed his eyes and hugged her back. After a few moments of embarrass, He then said,
"I love you Kagome" She closed her eyes, held him tighter and nuzzled him.
Sango woke up around dawn. Shippou too woke up.
"She's not back yet!" Sango said in a panic.
Everyone woke up quickly.
"We have to find her, fast!"
They grabbed their weapons and ran out to search for her. It took them awhile, but then Miroku spotted them. Sango was still looking high and low.
"I hope she is okay!"
Then Miroku said,
"She looks pretty safe to me!"
Sango looked over. Inuyasha was laying on his side with Kagome laying her head on his arm, facing him and curled up into his chest, wrapped in his red outfit top while he had his arm over her, embracing her. Both asleep. Kaede came up from behind Sango and Miroku and smiled,
"Finally."
Then she led everyone away,
"Let's let them be."
As they walked off, Miroku smiled.
"What is that smile for?"
"Well, do you suppose they've..."
"Don't you even say it!" Sango snapped at the perverted monk. She continued, "And no, I don't suppose!"
In the background you still hear the argument while Inuyasha holds Kagome tighter and whispers
"Mmm, Kagome", then snuggles his face in her hair at the top of her head.
(End credits)
