Chapter three: Good-bye forever
Inuyasha watched as Kagome jumped into the well back to her time. Inuyasha started to feel really bad that he got Kagome pregnant now because he loved her a lot and he wanted her to be with her family and happy. He walked over to the well and looked down. She left and that would be the last time she would ever go through the well back to her time. Miroku and Sango just looked at each other and turned away. Miroku walked over to Inuyasha to see if he would be ok. "Inuyasha, will you be ok." Miroku looked at the miserable Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked at Miroku and walked away. Sango watched him walk away with a pain in her heart that her half demon friend was sad. Miroku just kept looking at the spot that Inuyasha had just left. "Lets go back to camp. He needs time to think. He needs to be alone." Sango and Shippou followed Miroku back to Kaede's hut.
Kagome got at the other end of the well in about 20 seconds later. She climbed out of the well and started to head to her home. She go to the top of the steps in front of her house when all of the sudden it got dark. Kagome looked up into the sky. It was turning into black. All of the sudden a dark purple hole irrupted right where the sun had been moments ago. Kagome started to run for the house as fast as she could. "Mom, Souta, Grandpa?" Kagome yelled as she came in. She looked around. It was dead quiet. Kagome started to walk to the living room when she heard a mysterious laugh. "Kukukuku, little human girl I would run if I were you because this reality you live in is dead." Kagome looked around to see where the voice was coming from. Nothing. She ran up the stairs and when she entered Souta's room she screamed. Souta was hanging by a rope tied around his neck from his ceiling. Kagome dropped to her knees and cried. "NOOO, who did this to you?!?!" Kagome screamed as she started to hit the floor. A note fell right in front of her.
Dear Mom, Kagome, or Grandpa,
I was watching the news and got really scared as the weather man reported a really weird thing happening to the sun. They said from the space cam, that they saw a tentacle thing heading straight for it. Then I looked outside the sun exploded. I decided to end my life sooner than later. I am sorry and I will always love you all. Good bye.
~Souta~
Kagome ran outside to run back to the Bone-Eaters. She suddenly felt a breeze, meaning everything was going to get sucked in real soon. Luckily the Bone-Eaters well was just straight ahead so if it got pitch black she would be able to just to run straight. She looked behind her to see how close they were to the black hole. It would take a half an hour for them to get sucked in. Kagome saw something white flying from the black hole. It was getting closer at a very fast speed. When it got close enough for Kagome to figure out what it was, Kagome gasped. It was Naraku. She started to run faster, but He was to fast for her. He threw a sword at her. It went right through her right shoulder. Kagome put her hand up instinctively to stop him from coming any closer. Just as she had done to Mistress Centipede one year ago today, she had done to him. "STOOOOOPPPPP!!!" A blast of light came from out of Kagome's hand and the Naraku doll disappeared. Kagome got up slowly. Her shoulder was bleeding violently. She started to run again. All of the sudden, right when she got to the Bone-Eaters well, her eyes closed and she fell in. She had fainted from so much blood lose.
On the other side of the well at Kaede's hut everyone was talking while eating their food. Inuyasha sat in a corner with his food untouched. "Inuyasha, aren't ye going to eat ye food? It will do no good starving ye's self." Kaede said to Inuyasha. Inuyasha replied back to her in a low mean voice. "When did you start to actually care about me?" Kaede looked at him and gave up trying to get him to eat. Inuyasha walked out of the hut to go walk around. He walked so far and so long that he didn't realize the Bone-Eaters well was right in front of him. He took a deep sigh. After he sighed he sniffed the air because he thought he could smell Kagome's scent. Inuyasha looked down into the well. No one was there. He could see a spot of blood on the well. He looked at it then noticed that there was a trail leading into the woods going back to Kaede's hut. Inuyasha started to run along the trail. Kagome's scent was getting stronger. He made a leap and down in a clearing he could see Kagome in a pool of blood. Inuyasha landed next to her. "Kagome! Are you alright? What happened?!?!" Kagome didn't move. Inuyasha fearing the worst, he picked Kagome up in his arms and carried her away back to Kaede's hut. "Kaede! Help me Quick, I think Kagome is dieing!!!" Everyone came running out of the hut. Inuyasha took Kagome in the hut and laid her down on the futon. Kaede told everyone except Sango to leave the hut so she could check Kagome. Inuyasha stood outside the hut pacing back and fourth. "Inuyasha, calm down, she will be alright." Miroku said in a comforting voice. 'At least I hope.' Miroku muttered to himself. "I heard that." Inuyasha said in an undertone. Sango came walking out with Kagome's bloody clothes. "Is she-," Inuyasha couldn't pull himself to say any more. "All we know at the moment is that she will be unconscious for a week or more." Sango said with a tear running down her face. Miroku came next to her and hugged her. Usually she would have smacked him, but she was more worried about the girl that has been like a sister to her and Miroku obviously understood her pain. Inuyasha looked at them as he thought about Kagome. He worried that she would die and he would be alone again. Unless, Inuyasha opened his eyes wide and looked at Sango. "Sango, where is the Shikon jewel." Sango looked at Inuyasha in a more, why are you thinking about being a full demon at a time like this, look. "Why?" Sango sputtered through her tears. "Just tell me. I won't do anything stupid; I promise to Kagome's life that I won't." Inuyasha's desperate eyes said everything. "It's still around her neck. Inuyasha, please don't do anything stupid. Kagome's life is on the line." "I won't, I promise." Inuyasha said in an unusual caring voice. Inuyasha walked in the hut to get the Shikon jewel. He didn't care what Kaede was going to say him. All he cared about was saving Kagome and obviously Kaede understood because she didn't say anything to him. Inuyasha looked at Kagome; she was slipping away from him. 'Don't you dare die on me, Kagome.' Inuyasha saw the Shikon jewel sitting right above her chest. Everyone left him to hut so he could be alone with Kagome. Inuyasha looked at her limp form. "Kagome, when we were, you know, having precious moments alone together, I realized that the one thing I meant to say to you was-" Inuyasha had been looking at the floor as he was speaking. He saw a shadow and turned to see who it was. It was non other than Kikyou herself. "Inuyasha, I can see you really love this girl. I know now that I can never win you back. As of now, I will die and give this pathetic excuse of a human-" Inuyasha glared at her words, "back her soul and this." Inuyasha looked into her hand and saw the other half of the Shikon jewel. "Kikyou, where did you get this?" Inuyasha said in Amazement and happiness. "I stole it from Naraku. You can put it back in her body and it will revive her. You don't have to use it at all. Just put it back where it belongs." Kikyou explained. Inuyasha looked as if he could have kissed her. When he realized what she said. "Revive? Don't you mean save?" Inuyasha looked at her body again. She had left him. "No Inuyasha. You have to cut her open at where the demon took it out of her. When you do that, the next time we meet, I shall send my souls back to her." Kikyou looked at Inuyasha and bowed a farewell to him. Inuyasha just nodded his head and got to work as fast as possible. Inuyasha lifted her shirt a bit and saw the scar where the demon had cut her. He used his claw slowly and carefully. He looked at her as he did his work wishing that she would have woken up before he had to cut her. She didn't even twitch. She really had died. Inuyasha let a tear come out of his eyes. He didn't want to lose her like he had lost his mother and Kikyou. When the work was done he put some bandages over her wound. She didn't spring to life. Inuyasha started to get worried. He came close to her mouth with his ear to see if he could hear the slightest sigh. He took off the bandages to get the Shikon jewel back out to observe it. When he pulled it out he looked at it. He gasped as he saw that there was one piece of it missing. He put the bandages back on her and called Kaede back in. He told her the story. "I am about to leave to find Kikyou. Can I trust you to watch Kagome with your life and this?" He held the Shikon jewel up to show her. She gasped as she observed it herself. "Where did ye get this? You only have one more to go." Kaede said in shock. "Look can I trust you or not?" Inuyasha started to angry. "Ye can trust me, Inuyasha." Inuyasha nodded to her and ran out the door. He was looking for Kikyou's scent so that he could ask her why the last piece wasn't there. He couldn't find her scent. All of the sudden, Inuyasha past a smell of blood. It smelt so familiar. He went down to where he smelt it. It was getting so strong that Inuyasha started to feel sick. When he got to the thing or person that was bleeding so bad. Inuyasha's stomach dropped at who he saw. Kikyou in Naraku's arms. She was almost dead and staring right at him. "Kukukuku Inuyasha, were you looking for this?" Naraku held the last piece up in his hands. Inuyasha pulled his sword out of the sheath and charged at Naraku. He missed, but and did something would have never meant to do. He hit Kikyou and sliced her in half. Inuyasha stopped dead in his tracks. He didn't dare look back to see what he had done. "Kukukuku Inuyasha, you are so weak. Its so funny to watch you fight. You killed your own woman. Kukukuku." Inuyasha would have tried to strike him down when Naraku suddenly disappeared. The souls that Kagome was supposed to receive had been the one to strike him down. They started to fly back to the Village to aid their master. Inuyasha looked around for the Shikon jewel as well as avoiding Kikyou's dead form. He found it and started to head back.
