*Author Note: Just to say, they never actually left the huge foom they were in. NAraku is using it as an area to hold them in.*
Chapter 25:
Love or loss?
"Inuyasha..."
A far off voice drifted to him. He groaned.
"Inuyasha!"
His eyes snapped open. He vision was assulted by a field of cherry blossum trees. Blossums floated in the wind around him. He sat up. He was beside a particulary large tree. The sun was blocked out by many blossums as they floated down from the trees.
"Inuyasha!"
He looked to see Kagome sitting on a branch of the tree. She smiled down at him.
"Kagome...?"
"Whats with the wierd look Inuyasha? Is there something wrong?"
Inuyasha shook his head slowly.
"No...I guess not...where are we?"
She hopped down from the branch.
"We're in the cresent valley, silly. Don't you remember?"
He shook his head again.
"No..."
She sat down beside him and watched the blossums fall to the ground in the wind. She seemed normal to him. But where were the others?
"Where is..."
"Kikyou? She's over there."
Kagome pointed to another tree. Inuyasha nearly gasped when he saw Kikyou walking toward him.
"Kikyou?!?"
"Why do you speak like that? Do you not like her anymore, not that it matters."
He tried to jump to his feet, but found he couldn't move at all. He strained to move even a bit but found it futile. Kikyou still walked toward them. She stopped and looked him in the eye.
"Hello Inuyasha honey. Are you finally awake now?"
Inuyasha didn't want to believe it. Why was she here?
"How...what made you...why are you here?!?!?"
Kikyou looked a bit surprised.
"Why dear, its because of you. I can't every have you leaving my side again. Kagome has so generously offered you to me as a sign of friendship."
He looked at Kagome.
"Kagome...why...?"
She just kept on smiling.
"I hate you, Inuyasha. I always have."
He stuttered.
"W..what...why...what about the others? Kenshin? Cloud? The Girls? Ashitaka?"
Kagome's smile never dropped.
"I killed them. They were bothersome pests."
Five disembodied heads fell from the tree above. It was Miroku, D.g., Erika, Brat, and Ashitaka. They fell and rolled directly in front of Inuyasha, their faces showing extreme pain and anguish.
"No....!"
"Cloud tried, but his death was imminent from the start."
A huge sword fell out of the sky with its owner impaled on it. Cloud had a look of agony on his face.
"Cloud..."
Then a new, familar voice arrived.
"And I helped them kill the rest. I always had a hate for them, and a love for Kagome."
Kenshin walked out from around the tree. He walked over to Kagome and put an arm around her waist, and she pressed up to him. She looked at him with passionate, love filled eyes. Inuyasha shook his head.
"No...no....NO!!!"
Kagome waved at Inuyasha.
"Bye now. Have fun!"
"No...."
Kenshin and Kagome walked away in each others arms. Kikyou walked up to and crouched in front of Inuyasha.
"My dear, try to get some sleep. Its been a hard day for you. Get some rest."
He tried to draw away from her, but she leaned forward and kissed him on the forehead, before walking away.
He sat there, straining to move, eyes wide with disbelief.
***
Naraku guided Inuyasha's mind to the point of collapse. He had the half-demon on a stone tablet in the control room they had been caught in.
"Hukota, he's ready."
A spark of smoke turned into a black demon wearing black armor. He could pass off as a human at night, and had better skills than one with a sword. He was also a dark mage, able to penetrate and suck out people's souls, turning them into raw power. If one was to absorb this power, they would gain the strength and skills of that person. And now this person, was Inuyasha.
"Yes, my lord. I will begin."
Hukota walked over to the stone tablet where Inuyasha was. He place both hands above Inuyasha's face, and started to concentrate. A purplish energy came out of his hands and wavered. Inuyasha's body started to glow blue. There was a cackle of energy, and an energy link forned between Hukota's hand and Inuyasha's head.
"My lord, it will be easy to take him if he is weak enough. I shall be brief."
Hukota concentrated, and let his conscious flow down into Inuyasha's mind.
***
Inuyasha blinked, disbelieving what he had seen. It couldn't be. He yelled in rage and confusion and jumped up, surprised that he could move. Then he heard a step behind him.
"Kagome?"
He turned to see a black demon with glowing hands.
"No Inuyasha, not Kagome."
Inuyasha gritted his teeth.
"Who are you?"
"You don't need to know."
The creature then jumped forward at an amazing speed. He grabbed Inuyasha by the forhead with both hands. Inuyasha screamed in the pain that came into him. He tried to push the man away but found he was losing his strength. He yelled and kicked as hard as he could, freeing himself. The creature smirked at him.
"Still have strength left? How long can you last?"
Inuyasha panted. It was a grim situation.
Hukota laughed at him again. All he needed was for the stupid half-demon to loose his strength and it would be over. It shouldn't take too long.
*Author Notes: These chaps may not be the longest, but I try to keep the pace up on updating. I hope thats okay with you all.*
