PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU ARE HORRIBLY CONFUSED!!! Okay, now that I got your attention, if you are lost I will explain the last two chapters to you. The chapters Flashback and Sorrow are FLASHBACK chapters. They were set before Kagome went to hell, ment to explain what went on before she went to hell and how she ended up there in the first place.

Thank you for listening and on with the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha! .


Chapter 7

~*Present*~

Memorys flashed through her brain at top speed, almost in a blur.

The golden orbs she thought she lost forever, gazed at her through tears. Why was he crying? She was crying in joy. She finally got to see her beloved again.

Her name had fallen from his lips again, almost in a choke.

Kagome.

Wasn't he happy to see her? Her beloved? Why was he looking at her with those eyes so full of saddness. Kikyo looked at her in disbelief, staring intently at her form.

A strange question hit her. How could the same soul exist in the same place, when it was in different people. Down here...she and Kikyo couldn't exist at the same time...it was impossible, unheard of.

Her eyes flicked back to Inuyasha, why couldn't she read his eyes? He took a step closer to her.

What have you done? The words breathed out softly. He walked towards her faster. What have you DONE? His voice loud as he grabbed her arms, not noticing as the her miko energy burned his hands.
He begain to shake her, her head snapping back and forth. Why was he doing this? He was suppose to be happy, he said he loved her.

He suddenly jerked her tightly to his body, she saw Kikyo watching them over his shoulder. What was the miko thinking? Her thoughts were quickly drawn back to the hanyou holding her.

Why Kagome? his whisper was broken.
Why did you come to this place? He gazed into her eyes, she saw the tears leaking slowly down his eyes.

Why do you cry, beloved? I am here with you... She murmered softly, wanting to brush his tears away. He had been through so much more pain then her, he didn't deserve to cry. A sudden sharp pain shot up her arm and leg.

She wrenched herself out of his grip, looking down in horror as bruises begain to form from nothing along her arm, her wrist snapped sideways. She fell to one knee as a long ugly gash ripped up her leg. She howled in pain as fresh blood begain to leak out.

Inuyasha looked at her in horror, what was wrong with her? He quickly rushed forward to wrap her up in his arms. His arms which were burned consiterably.

She felt warm arms scoop her up bridal style. But it wasn't her beloved's arms, it was his. Lucifer. He gazed down at her, his bloody eyes showing concern. He was the prince of darkness, why was he concerned for her. Where was Inuyasha? Where was her heart?

He stroked her forhead, his flesh shriveling as it burned, then came back, completely healed.

Shhh, calm down kitten, I'll make it better. He kissed her wrist, licking the bruises like a cat drinks milk. She could feel Inuyasha's stare almost burning a hole in her head. Her wounds didn't feel so bad now, just a dull ache.

Her head fell back as she begain to drown in slumber. Lucifers eyes snapped up to glare at Inuyasha. Inuyasha glared right back.

Shes mine, my pet, my kitten. He hissed out, the angles of his face seeming to get sharper in anger. Inuyasha growled in his throat. Waves of hate floating off him, no-one touched his Kagome and got away with it.

You! You were the one to bring her here! Weren't you, you bastard. He snarled in rage, face contorting in unconsealed fury. Lucifer tipped his head back and laughed. This silly hanyou...honestly. His chuckles died down, his eyes sparkling in humor.

No, you worthless mutt, it was you. His red eyes glinting as he watched his words take affect on the other.

Liar.

He smiled, like a cat smiling at his prey.

I assure you, I am no such thing. You brough her here, and for that I must thank you. She let you go to hell with Kikyo, his eyes brefly flicking to the miko. Even though it torn at her heart to watch you go, He grinned in pure glee as he watched the hanyou's broken hearted expression. But, she knew she would never be able to live without you, he tenderly stroked her bangs from her sweatly forehead. So she killed herself. He let out a bark of laughter at Inuyasha sharp intake of breath.

Do you want to know how she did it? I can tell you, if you want. You see there are many ways to to it back on Earth. You can hang yourself, slit you throat, my favorite, of sliting your wrists of course, mmm thats painful, you can jump off a tall building of bridge, oh, you and drown yourself, overdose on pills...do you want me to tell you which one of these she did? Or do you want to make a guessing game out of it? Hmmm?

Inuyasha felt like he was going to be sick. Kagome. His light. Resorted to these measures because of him? She had taken her own life. All because of his promise to Kikyo. She had stood aside and let him be happy, let him choose.

His stomach heaved at the thought of Kagome killing herself in any of these grusome ways.

Lucifer laughed as he watched the hanyou be sick. He turned his gaze to the silent miko (A/N Kikyo that is) she had stood in silence the whole time. Ahh, so this was what Kagome was reincarnated after. He barely consealed his discust. How could a flower like Kagome come from a weed like that? (A/N No I don't really HATE kikyo...she's more of a constant irritaion to me...)

Kagome lay still in his arms. Groggly waking up, how could he have know she killed herself? She had to ask him for a favor. She swallowed at the resentment she felt towards him for treating Inuyasha like that. It caused her pain to think of her heart hurting.

Luci--fer, may...may I please speak with my he--Inuyasha alone...even just for a minute...please? Her voice held a desperate edge to it.

How could I refuse you anything kitten? He swooped down and placed a kiss on both of her eyes. Giving Inuyasha one last heated glare as he snapped his fingers.

She was suddenly in a different place, just her and Inuyasha.

Is it true? His voice was filled with such pain. Pain she had been the root of. It was always her wasn't it? In both lives she was always the cause of his pain.

Not noticing her arm of her leg she flung herself at him, crouching at his legs her arms wrapped around his calves, her cheek pressed against his thigh.

I'm so sorry Inuyasha! I'm sorry I'm sorry. I didn't think my choice would cause you pain! I wasn't thinking! I'm so sorry, I was being selfish! He could feel her tears soaking through his pants. His heart practically lerched to a stop. His Kagome was so kind...so selfless. Even in death, she held no bitter thoughts towards him. She was the purer miko, how did someone so pure end up in hell?

He bent his knees slightly, picking her up from under her arms, he wrapped a hand around her thighs getting himself into a sitting position. He nestled her into his lap, like before.

Kagome was a little shocked at his actions. But she wrapped her arms around his torso, nuzzing her face into his sholder. Her words came out muffled.

If this is all the time in the world we have together, just to touch you one last time...never being able to again, it would kill me.

Inuyasha buried his face in her sweet smelling hair. His claws running lightly up and down her back.

My heart beats for only you. she looked into his eyes and cupped his face in her hands, kissing him lightly on the lips. Then kissing his nose, cheeks, and resting her forehead against his. His eyes begain to water.

I never ment to hurt you Kagome...never...if I knew this would happen...I would take it all back. His lips brushing hers as he talked.



* * *

Kagome was sitting infront of Lucifer. Her eyes boring into his. He cupped her cheek gently.

I have something to tell you Kagome. his voice was so soft...so gentle. She looked at him curiously. His expression one she couldn't place.

I'm going to send you back, back before you killed yourself, back before Inuyasha and Kikyo went to hell. I'm going to give you a chance to be happy. You must make Inuyasha fall so deeply in love with you...that he would even think of leaving you side to be with Kikyo. I know he feels that way now, and he did when he was living...but his sence of honor his high, her eyes widened mouth slightly open.

However...if you fail, you have to come back here...and spend the rest of eternity by my side.

She felt a sudden weightlessness. The room was spinning, the only thing that stayed constant was his glowing red eyes they reminded her now of boiling blood.

No, wait! but it was to late, she was falling fast. Falling into darkness and light, the shades swirling around her.


* * *


Her scream echoed through the camp where the group was sleeping for the night. She sat straight up in her...sleeping bag?

Oi! Wench! What the hell are you yelling about?! Inuyasha was crouched beside her, trying to look irritated, but she could see concern ing his golden eyes.
