Chapter 2- Six Last Words
'So I'll have to do this alone, keh, makes no difference, it's fine by me.' Inuyasha thought as he leapt deeper and deeper into the cave. His eyes adjusted to the dark almost immediately upon entrance, so he could see perfectly.
'Damn you to hell Ketsuniku.'
* * *
The room which held Kagome captive was getting more unwelcome by the second. Every once in a while, a shiver went down Kagome's spine as an eerie wind came through.
'Oh Inuyasha, I hope you find me soon."
* * *
Inuyasha picked up Kagome's scent as he was traversing around the cave, it got stronger as he came upon a web-blocked passage-way. Without thinking twice, he slashed right through them with his claws.
Kagome was bound to a chair, he thought that she was unconscious until she saw him.
"Inuyasha! Stay back, it's a -" Kagome yelled and started.
But just as she was going to say those last words, her mouth was blocked by a hairy antennae.
"So Inuyasha, you've come to rescue this human filth, I never would have known. . ."
"Ketsunuki! I thought our fight was finished, keh, should've have killed you when I could."
"Funny, because what you should've done, is what I'm going to do to you now." Ketsunuki drew in a breath and blow out a glittering gold powder, instinctively Inuyasha jumped to dodge the poison.
But he did not land on the ground again. Kagome looked up and screamed his name in terror.
He was tangled in one of the many webs that Ketsunuki had sewn on the domed ceiling. . .!
"Hah, you're all too predictable, slowly my webs will wrap around your body, devouring the very flesh that harbors it. There is no escape, you're immobilized by the poison that seeps through the threads, and won't be able to draw that cursed sword of yours."
As the threads slowly wrapped around Inuyasha he knew that there really was no escape this time. Before he knew it, he yelled out to Kagome before they covered him entirely.
"Kagome! Somehow, someday, I promise I'll see you again!"
And he was gone, into a silky white cocoon of doom. Kagome wasn't sure to believe this was true. After all the close-encounters they had. How come this one, decided it all. And still there was one question haunting her mind completely. . .
'Is he gone because of. . .me?"
Confused by all of what she was feeling now, she looked directly at Ketsunuki, rage burning in her eyes. With a shrill scream she broke apart the threads captivating her.
She scanned the room for some weapon, to destroy Ketsunuki.
"YOU! Y-you KILLED Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled, barely believing it was her own voice, "YOU WILL DIE AT MY HANDS NOW!"
There! Her bright yellow pack suddenly shed new light upon her eyes. And upon it was her bows and arrows.
This was her chance.
Ketsunuki saw what Kagome had eyed, immediately he sent webs after her to stop her from reaching her destination.
But the threads disappeared into thin air without even reaching her, her aura was glowing and burning, not believing it was over.
Her hands grabbed the bow and arrow, she put an arrow at the ready, aiming straight at its heart.
"YOU WILL DIE NOW!" She screamed as she let it fly.
Ketsunuki tried a last attempt to shield itself, but it too disintegrated with Ketsunuki as the arrow purple arrow filled the dark room. The arrow had shot through him, killing Ketsunuki instantly. But its final destination was the cocoon that held Inuyasha.
The force of the impact drove the cocoon off the ceiling, and upon hitting the ground, it split open.
Kagome ran over, half expecting Inuyasha to have held out during her small battle.
But there was nothing but his fire-rat hatori, his sword, and the rosary that Kaede put on Inuyasha so long ago. . .
All these items, brought back the memories, the only lingering thing that Kagome had of Inuyasha.
'No that's not true, he promised me!'
She fell to her knees and sobbed into her hands. This happened too fast. No one could get over anything to this magnitude in a couple of minutes.
Suddenly she felt two hands shaking her out of her pitiful state.
"Kagome! Kagome snap out of it!" a voice said.
"S-s-Sango?" Kagome choked out between sobs, "Why didn't you go in with Inuyasha?! I-if you did, he would've h-had a-a-a-a. . .A CHANCE!!"
"What do you mean Lady Kagome? We couldn't get in, there was a barrier, preventing humans. . ." Miroku said.
As Kagome told them all that happened, all except the promise, she broke down into sobs of rage and fury.
"This. . .this is all that's left of him." Kagome said quietly as she thrust out the items that remained in the cocoon.
Miroku and Sango were also feeling the same mixed emotions that troubled Kagome. A feeling of regret for not trying to find a way to assist Inuyasha.
Miroku offered to say some sutra's to guide Inuyasha's soul in hell.
(A/n: If ya guys know anything about Buddhism, it's that everyone goes to hell to be judged by the kings of hell to go to whichever circle of hell they belong too. So there is no heaven! And even if there was, after all the people Inuyasha killed, I doubt he'd be there!!)
After all was said and done, Kagome was still feeling shifty about the whole situation.
"Perhaps you should stop shard-hunting for a while, me and Miroku could head back to Kaede's village, here you can borrow Kirara" Sango suggested as she held out Kirara to Kagome.
She gladly accepted the offer and rode off into the horizon.
