Chapter 5 – Deception in the Truth

*Song is still condensed from Evanescence's "Taking Over Me".

{I look in the mirror and see your face}

Inuyasha flinched for sometime when he felt something bite him on the face. He opened his eyes and stared in shock at the surroundings that are familiar to his memory.

He was back in his own dimension. Feudal Japan.

He was back to old familiar surroundings. The scent of the surrounding trees tickled his nose. The bubbling of the nearby lake awakened his senses.

And the Go- Shinboku before him stimulated an old painful memory.

"You're back." A haunting voice behind him said.

He turned to see her and realized that she was not the girl he was expecting.

"Kikyo." He mumbled.

The miko started to walk up to him but Inuyasha held her back with his hands wrapped around her arms.

"Am I dreaming?" he asked her. He wasn't sure if hanyous like him could dream. But he is sure that the things he see before him are too impossible to happen.

"No. You aren't dreaming, Inuyasha. You are back. And everything here is real." Kikyo replied to him.

He took a step back. "But that's impossible! You're already dead! I was there when they burned your body! You're already dead!"

He took the Tetsaiga from his hilt. "Who are you?!"

Lady Kikyo held the Tetsaiga and pushed it away with little care. "I am Kikyo, Inuyasha-sama. And I am alive. Naraku has given me another chance. Now we can be together forever."

"Tell me the truth! WHO ARE YOU?!"

Kikyo's face crumpled into an angry frown. "Why don't you believe me anymore? Is it because of that girl who looks like me?!"

"I don't believe you because you are lying to me! I know that Naraku is only using you to stall me from saving Kagome! I WILL revive the REAL Kikyo. The one I truly loved and not some soulless zombie like the one before me!"

This angered the undead miko. "Then go after that girl! You don't care about me anymore and nothing matters! It doesn't even matter if you love her! By now she's no more different than I am! Naraku has erased her memory and she will now be returned to what she really is! A Shikon no Tama! And the only thing that will be left is a hollow, soulless zombie like what you see before you!"

"WHAT?!"

Inuyasha fled from where he stood and headed for Naraku's castle leaving the poor girl behind.

But wherever he turn to, he keeps on returning to the same spot.

He stared at Kikyo with fuming eyes. "Tell your companion to let me out of this damned place NOW!"

She grinned. "I don't think that Kana would obey an enemy."

Suddenly, Kikyo's image disappeared and in a blink of an eye, she transformed back to her rightful form. Kagura.

"We follow our maker and no one else. And the only thing he wishes is that you DIE!"

At that, she unfolded her large fan and in one swift move, commanded the wind against Inuyasha.

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"KAGOME!!!!!!!!!!"

'Who are you? ... Why do you call me that?...' she thought.

"KAGOME!!!!!!!!!!"

From the dark void that she was wrapped in, she saw a tunnel of light. The tunnel revealed a familiar silhouette which starts to get bigger and bigger every second. No matter how hard she tries, she can't see his face and his identity remained blank.

'Who are you?!'

~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Naraku grinned at how things are coming along. Only a few memories yet to go, and the Shikon was near to reaching it's fullest power. Only a few minutes longer, and he will finally be the strongest youkai and rule the Past, Present and Future.

When suddenly, he saw her lips move, and it alarmed him at the name she was trying to remember...

"KAGOME!!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha screamed as he bolted through the door.

"WHAT? YOU'RE STILL ALIVE!" Naraku exclaimed in disbelief.

"Feh! Your minions were nothing." He grinned. "And that Kikyo was one freaking fake."

"To hell with you INUYASHA!!!!" Naraku screamed as he attacked him.

Inuyasha held tightly on the Tetsaiga and roared his attack...

~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

{If I look deep enough}

"KAGOME!!!!!!!!!!"

He reached out his hand.

For a few seconds, she drifted farther and farther. But the silhouette came closer with the outstretched hand. She raised her hand towards him and reached out to his hand...

He took hold of her hand and gripped it tightly.

"DON'T LET GO YOU BAKA!" he screamed

'I won't... I trust you...'

~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inuyasha failed to see a counterattack that Naraku made and he fell limp on the ground. He was too weak form all his attacks and counter attacks that he could barely stand. Naraku inched closer and closer to him, a projectile slowly growing in his hand.

"I know that you have been waiting to join your love in the afterlife..." he grinned.

~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

{So many things inside that are just like you }

'I know I can trust you...'

The light he bore conquered the darkness. And the image slowly took shape and became clear. 'I remember you now...'

The vague figure slowly cleared. And it became recognizable...

'You're him... You're...'

~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

He aimed the projectile to his face and screamed.

"DIE INUYASHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!"

The projectile neared him and Inuyasha closed his eyes to accept his fate when suddenly, there was a scream, and the projectile was thwarted.

~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"INUYASHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kagome screamed.

~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

There was a bright white light that emanated from Kagome and the Shikon no Tama. It scattered to the wholeness of the castle and swallowed everything whole in it's brightness.

There could be nothing to be seen... except her light...

~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

{Are taking over}

"Inuyasha..."

He turned and saw Kagome.

She held out her hand to him. He took it. "Kagome?"

He felt the warmth from her hand once more. However, for some unknown reason, it warmed up not only his hand but his entire being also. And it felt so good that he did not want to let go.

She smiled at him. "Arigato Gozaimasu..."

Wonder filled his mind as he thought whatever was she thanking him for. When he suddenly had an immediate realization of what was happening.

"KAGOME!!!! DON'T!!!!!"

She smiled at him her sweetest. "This is my Destiny, Inuyasha. Sayonara..."

"NO!!! You're not going to disappear! Don't you dare let go!"

The last thing he saw of her was her sweet smile. And then there were no more, for the light had swallowed both of them whole...

"KAGOME!!!!!!!!!!"
