Chapter 3 – Watashi wa anata no tame ni ikite imasu
(I Live Because of You)
~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Author's "quick" Note:
This is the first chapter I had ever entitled in Japanese. If you think my Nipponggo is wrong, don't be ashamed to put it in the review, or better yet, email me!
~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*Song is still condensed from Evanescence's "Taking Over Me".
What had occurred that morning never left either Kagome or Inori's mind.
After the accident, the two students still failed to come on time and were made to stand on the corridor for some time until they finish their first subject. All the while, not one dared to open a decent conversation.
Kagome was surprised to find out she was alive and bone dry when she came to school and to realize that Inori was the stranger in her dreams. She had finally put together the pieces and came out with one conclusion: Inori Yamamoto = Inuyasha : the hanyou who killed the miko that protected the Shikon. Her mission according to Lady Kikyo: to protect the Shikon from Inuyasha. How?...
The question hang around in her head for quite sometime before it got ignored by the thought of what the teacher would do when she saw Mr. Calvert coming out of their room to scold them.
~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
{Have you forgotten all I know?}
Lunchtime. Kagome looked around for Inori, but instead found a note addressed to her. It said:
Go to the bench under the cherry blossom tree behind the building.
She did as the note said but found Inori nowhere on the bench. She searched the grounds around her and found no one.
"I thought you'd want an explanation to all of this so I think it's about time you know." He said to her surprise.
She looked up and saw him squatting on one of the lowest branches.
"What are you doing over there?! Get down there before anyone can see you or you get hurt!" she quickly scolded.
"Will you stop blabbering and listen to me for once! Who are you to care for me, anyway?" he defended.
It struck her like a sharp knife piercing her heart. She got hurt alright, but she has a feeling that it's not superficial. Something deeper inside of her got hurt.
She silenced. Inori sighed.
"... G-go...go...Gomenasai!..." he spat out.
She looked up at him and caught him looking away and avoiding her eyes. She smiled inside.
He then stepped down and sat beside her on the bench. He took hold of her arm, to Kagome's surprise.
"DON'T talk... Just trust me."
Kagome blushed when he suddenly kissed her lips and not letting hers go. He closed his eyes and for a reason she doesn't know, she followed his suit. But she suddenly felt her strength slowly draining away from her body that she tried to struggle. But she weaken every second and soon, she fell limp into his arms.
Inori held her limp body up with only one arm and he stared at her face for quite some time. He raised her up with his other free arm and brought her to the bench. He laid her there, sleeping, with her head resting snugly on his lap. He stared at her face once more, and removed a lock of her hair that had blocked little of his view.
"You really look a lot like Kikyo-san... And yet... you two are different..." he mumbled.
Slowly, his black hair was turning back to the silver it really was. His human ears disappeared and it was exchanged for a pair of dog-like ears that stuck out on the sides of his head. The black long sleeved school uniform transformed into the red haori he is fond of wearing. He grew fangs in his mouth and his nails had elongated and hardened into claws.
"Please forgive me if I had to do this... It's for the woman I love..."
"You don't know how tired I am of doing this..." he continued.
He decided that it was the right thing to do...
Holding the Shikon in one hand, he whispered his wish. The gem glowed back at him in reply. Satisfied, he released the gem back on to her chest. He took the same arm he grabbed before and placed her hand on his cheek. Her warmth flowed through out his face and he smiled at the recognition of the feeling once more. He then closed his eyes and concentrated deeply, not realizing that he had already fallen asleep...
~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Kagome!"
She turned and saw Inori, but now in his true form. As the silver haired hanyou named Inuyasha, not as the black haired student she once knew.
"Kagome!" he called out to her again, sternly this time.
"What do you want from me?" she asked in fear.
He came closer. "Your cooperation."
She gave him a puzzled look. He sighed.
Everything around her changed into the same garden she had been in her earlier dream with Lady Kikyo. They were before the Go-Shinboku, staring at the limp body pinned to its trunk, which happened to be the hanyou beside her.
"What is this?" she asked him.
"I hope this will help you clear things." He told her. "You'll need it."
"What do you mean?"
He kept silent. She then turned back to the scene and found out that Inori/Inuyasha was telling things where Lady Kikyo has left off.
~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
{And all we had?}
A figure approached the tree. A guy in a white gorilla suit hopped out of nowhere and talked to the hanyou in the tree as if he were alive.
"Inuyasha... I know what your heart wishes and I will fulfill it... But I will need the Shikon's Power... If you'll fetch it for me, I can complete the spell..."
The creature then disappeared with a gust of wind. A little while later, the hanyou on the tree cringed and opened his eyes. He took hold of the arrow that pierced his heart and crushed it with his bare hands. He wondered how he was able to do it.
He descended from the Go-Shinboku with great ease. He then looked around and searched for Kikyo. But when he arrived the village, he was thrown out with outmost rage. So he went back at night and found out that Kikyo had died in protecting the Shikon from him. Puzzled, he looked for the Shikon no Tama instead.
But Lady Kikyo was wise to remove the Shikon's spirit long before their feud. She sent the spirit to another dimension, where it got reincarnated. So Inuyasha went to the said dimension, ending up in Kagome's time. He gave her the empty jewel that night on the meteor shower so it can join its spirit once more and finally end his mission.
~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
{You saw me mourning my love for you}
"You mean... I am the Shikon no Tama?" Kagome said baffled to Inori/Inuyasha.
"Yes. The reason that I live today is because of you. I need you."
She was silent.
"I don't want that feud to happen. I don't want to lose her again. I need you to fulfill my wish..."
She kept her silence. She was thinking of what would happen if Kikyo and Inuyasha never died and lived longer that expected.
Her face saddened. "Then... What would happen if I agree?..."
"You will have to let go of everything..."
"Everything?..."
"Everything."
"If that happens then..." she quickly cut off what she was saying, in a terrifying realization of the aftermath before her.
...She would disappear...
There will be no Kagome Higurashi anymore living in the world she thought was hers.
Her okasan would lose an offspring.
Shouta would lose an onesan.
Mr. Calvert would be one student short in the coming class picture.
There would be plenty she would lose...
Her family... her friends... the people she had learned to love...
The past that she had carefully sewn together all her life...
She then realized that she would lose not only her memories but also Inori as well.
Inori Yamamoto... the only guy who believed in her and the power of her dreams...
"Every single thing about your life as a human." He cleared.
She recalled her life in one quick flashback...
Now she knows why she always felt very different from all those around her...
"In-..." she stopped, not knowing what to call him.
"What?" he snapped
She hesitated. Yes. This 'Inuyasha' is far more different to the Inori she once knew. She can't help wonder why they are the same person since both are obvious opposites.
"Will I ever... come back again?..." she asked slowly, letting the words sink into both of them.
Inuyasha was silenced.
~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
{ And touched my hand}
Before he can even respond, Darkness shot all around the dimension they were in. Inuyasha became alert, gripping onto his sword with all his strength. He inched closer to Kagome, who was terrified and inched towards him too.
"Don't wander far from me... He is here..." he hissed
"Who?" she asked.
"Naraku."
Inuyasha drew out his sword and held it before him, ready to attack. Kagome held unto his shoulders, depending her life to him.
A dense fog rose from beneath them so slowly that they barely noticed it. The dark fog grew thicker and larger. Kagome covered her nose from the foul smelling fumes with her hands, letting go of Inuyasha. He kept her in sight while searching for Naraku...
A thick fog started to come between Inuyasha and Kagome, making them hard to see each other.
"KAGOME!"
He reached out and grabbed her hand. "DON'T LET GO!"
The fog thickened into a dark void that they could not see each other anymore except their hands that were entwined with a death grip.
On the other side, Kagome felt being pulled away from him and was losing her grip! As for Inuyasha, he was having a hard time with his sword and Kagome's hand.
"DON'T LET GO YOU BAKA!" he screamed
"Then how do you expect to fight me, Inuyasha? With only one hand?" A loud voice laughed out.
"Naraku!!!!" he said angrily.
Naraku appeared before Inuyasha. "You humans are so gullible... Oppss! I forgot! You're only Half- Human which makes you Half- Dumb!" he laughed again
"Don't mess with me, Naraku!"
"I already did! Did you think I would return you a favor by granting your wish after I get the Shikon back? You should have thought twice before falling into my trap!"
"THAT'S IT!" he yelled. Taking the sword in both hands, he got ready to attack Naraku!
"Oh dear... Seems like you forgot somebody!..."
"INUYASHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kagome screamed beyond the void.
He had turned towards her way too late. Kagome was already swallowed whole by the dark void.
"KAGOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Naraku's laughter rang all over along with Kagome's scream.

Yay! I got good reviews last time! So I'm taking the liberty to say what I want now! Thank you so much for all those who took time to read Ch 1 and 2 and got interested enough to read Ch 3!
Please review this chapter cause I want to know what others think. This was originally planned for an original story that I wrote in my sophomore years back in high school. It was that time when my friend and I first got acquainted so this story means to me very much. (Hope that explains the dedication.) But I had altered so much from the original outline that it became a separate fanfic instead.
So till the next chappie! As I said before, in your hands lies the future of this story...
