Chapter 20: She wasn't strong enough
Sango walked into the Main hall and looked around curiously. She could have sworn she heard sounds. But no one but Inuyasha was there.
A cold chill ran over Sango's spine as she decided that she had probably been hearing things.
Looking around once more just in case, Sango's eyes landed on Inuyasha and lingered there for a moment. Tears brimming at her eyes she shook her head and made her way out of the main hall.
Walking down another hall Sango headed for Kagome's room. Stopping at her door Sango knocked and waited for a response. When none came the first thing that flashed into her mind was that Kagome was trying to commit suicide again.
"Kagome!" Sango yelled as she pushed open the door and ran in. "Wha? Huh?" Kagome replied sitting up lazily and rubbing her eyes as if she had just woken.
Even though in reality, Kagome had barely gotten to her room and into bed before Sango arrived. Sango sighed in relief "Oh, it's nothing. I just want to talk to you for a second."
Kagome nodded and Sango walked over to the bed and sat down. "I know that lately you really haven't.. had an appetite for food." Sango said fidgeting a bit. "But you haven't eaten since we got back, and I know you must be hungry by now."
Sango paused and took a breath. "So I just came up to ask you if you'd like to come down and eat breakfast with the rest of us.".
It was true… Kagome was starving. But she had more important things on her mind right now, and they didn't involve eating. Shaking her head Kagome politely declined.
"Are you sure?" Sango asked with a hint of hope in her voice. "Yes" Kagome replied nodding.
Sango sighed "Well ok Kagome. But, if you do get hungry, don't hesitate to come down and join us ok?". "Of coarse" Kagome replied as she watched Sango exit the room.
:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:
Waiting until she was absolutely positive that Sango wasn't near anymore, Kagome hastily slipped out of bed.
After that dream she realized something. She should have never given up hope on Inuyasha in the first place. He was coming back, he said it in the dream. And she new he meant it. Now all she needed to do was figure how.
Not bothering to change out of the dirty Kimono that she had went to bed in last night Kagome exited her room and crept down the hall ways until she reached the library.
If there were one place that held the answer to bringing Inuyasha back, it was the library. Sure, it was partly responsible for when she was kidnapped, because she had read some of InuTaisho's books on war strategy… But, it had also helped Inuyasha and the rest find her!
So there HAD to be something in there in resurrection. Walking in and shutting the door behind her Kagome sighed. Yes, she had a good reason for not going to breakfast…
"Now" Kagome said as she began looking around. "If I were a book on resurrection, where would I be?" She asked herself as she peered around the library.
Resurrection was something that was not practiced often, because most didn't succeed at it, so there probably weren't more than a few books on it.
Running her hand along the bridges of books as she past them by she stopped as she came across a few that looked like what she needed.
'Let's see…. How to bring a being back as a zombie… no. " Kagome shook her head, somehow the title of that book reminded her of something the twins would do.
'Ok…Surviving on souls…. Definitely not. And… Life energy transfer… that'd have to do' Kagome decided as she pulled the book from the shelf, sat down on the floor, and read.
"Life energy Transfer. The dead can be brought back to the living by performing the simple task of a life energy transfer. To perform, First: simply place both of your hands of the corpse's heart, Second: gather up all of your strongest emotions (this helps give an extra boost to ensure the transfer works correctly) Third: Chant the following- Life to life, soul to Soul, Energy to energy, Heart to heart, you were lost (Insert corpse's name) and now you must come forth, and find yourself found. Fourth: And then voila, a portion of your life energy will transfer to the previously deceased being, who will then once again be living. Warning: The being whom performs this transfer must be pure of heart. All whom have attempted this without a pure heart, have died in the process (due to their life energy being completely sucked out of them, and never reaching the corpse). Perform with caution."
OO"Well… let's hope I have a pure heart?" Kagome squeaked as she stood up and headed for the dining hall.
:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:
Everyone sat in silence eating their breakfast as Sango entered the dining hall. Looking up Mio sighed "No Kagome?" she asked, even though the answer was obvious.
Sango shook her head sadly. Mio looked back down at her breakfast, and began eating again.
Walking over Sango took her place at the table and served herself some breakfast. "This is ridiculous! If she doesn't eat she's going to get sick!" Keita said out of the blue.
Mio looked at him with compassion. That was Keita for you… He dealt with his sorrow, by occupying his mind with other things, worrying about other people rather than himself…
InuTaisho looked around the table. Death was such a horrible thing… Mio was always quite now. Sesshoumaru would come, eat, and then leave like he was never there in the first place, Sango was going to eat herself to death.
Keita was worrying about everyone, Miroku, well he was just turning into even more of a basket case, how many closets had he tried to burn down again. Oh ya.. all of them…
And Ryuichi and Ryohei.. Well he had the feeling they were up to something. But he'd deal with it later…
And then there was himself… Lately he was finding it hard to concentrate, or even think about anything besides Inuyasha. Trying to pinpoint what went wrong… Where he went right…
Sighing InuTaisho looked into his porridge and saw the murky image of himself staring back.
But the he looked up as he heard the dining hall door open. "Kagome, you've decided to eat!" Mio said happily as she stood up.
Kagome just shook her head no in response and made her way over to InuTaisho holding the book.
"What is this?" He asked taking the book from her arms. "No" was the simple, one syllable word that exited his mouth after he read the cover title.
Kagome stared dumfounded for a second. "What!? What do you mean know!? This could bring him back!" Kagome insisted.
InuTaisho shook his head "No, Kagome. The process of transferring life energy is very dangerous, and more often than not deadly." He replied holding the book in a tight grip.
"I do not doubt that you are a good person Kagome. But pure? People with pure hearts are as hard to find as four leaf clovers, if not harder. I will not have another person die on us, and that's final!" InuTaisho spoke as he stood up and left, the book in hand.
Everyone just stared in shock, having absolutely no Idea what was going on. Tears brimmed in Kagome's angry eyes as she clenched her first. 'Fine then. Tell me no all you want to. I don't need your approval!' and with that Kagome stormed off towards the Main hall.
Bursting in she marched towards Inuyasha, determination in her eyes. She didn't need InuTaisho's consent, or any one else's for that matter. Weather or weather not they only had her own safety in mind, she didn't care!
Now at Inuyasha's side Kagome dropped to her knee's and pressed both of her hands over his heart.
So what if InuTaisho took the book, which had the spell in it. She had already memorized it.
Gathering up all of the strongest emotions she had at the moment, Kagome concentrated on them.
"Kagome. No!" InuTaisho yelled as he came into the room, followed closely by everyone else. He couldn't have her die too. She was like a daughter too him.
But when InuTaisho took a step forward to stop her, blue and purple swirls surrounded her body, making it impossible for him to even get near her. All he could do was stand there and watch.
Kagome squeezed her eyes shut tight, concentrating on her feelings. The anger she held when InuTaisho said she couldn't try this.
The hurt she felt when Izumo told her Inuyasha wasn't going to come for her. The fear that washed over her when she had dreamt of Inuyasha literally handing her his heart, and then waking up to find him how he was.
And the love… The love she felt for him, constantly, the entire time. Soon Kagome and Inuyasha were both entirely engulfed in the purple-blue lights, swirling around them rapidly. Now was the time to do it!
"Life to life!" Kagome shouted out, and soon the blue sparks started darting around only Inuyasha, and the purple only around Kagome.
"Soul to soul!" she said. And then the blue and purple lights merged, blending into a beautiful amethyst color.
"Energy to energy, Heart to heart" Kagome continued concentrating as hard as she could. And soon a white-is colored light started flowing from Kagome's body to Inuyasha's.
"You were lost, Inuyasha. And now you must come forth," Kagome went on, as the lights swirling around them began to dim.
"And find yourself found." She finished as the Amethyst completely disappeared. But Kagome's world continued swirling as everything around her was blurry, and then it all went black…
:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:
Everything was so bright. Everywhere she looked, nothing but bright white. Kagome stumbled around, almost blindly, since all she saw was white.
'A-am I blind?' she thought to herself, feeling around frantically. But, if she was blind, then she wouldn't be able to see her own body, right?
Kagome looked down, and to her joy found she could see herself. Heaving a sigh of relief that she wasn't blind, Kagome continued walking around
After a while it just got annoying and Kagome stopped. "Where am I?" She mused to herself out loud.
"Limbo." Came a voice from behind her. Spinning around Kagome saw Inuyasha, standing there.
"Inuyasha!" running up to him. But he backed away… "What? Inuyasha? What's wrong?" Kagome asked reaching out her hand. But he just stepped back even further.
"We don't have much time" he said eyeing her. "You failed." He said in a serious tone.
"What?" Kagome asked in confusion.
"You failed Kagome, you're heart wasn't pure." Inuyasha said, his face holding a little remorse. Kagome just stared for a moment. "Oh.." She replied looking at the ground.
But then she realized something. "Hey, but I still get to be with you!" She said a hint of hope in her voice.
Inuyasha shook his head "no.". Kagome stared at him like he was crazy "No?"
Inuyasha nodded "That's right, No. You knew full and well that when you tried to perform the life energy transfer, that if you weren't pure, you'd die. That's the same as committing suicide." Inuyasha stated bluntly.
"Well, what does that mean?" Kagome asked, worry evident in her voice. "Murder is when you kill some one who is innocent. Suicide is the same thing as murder, and you were innocent, Kagome. But, by murdering yourself you commited a terrible crime. So, you were innocent, yet guilty of murder. Making you both good, and evil, fit for heaven, but also for hell. And, when some one falls into both categories, they become trapped in limbo Forever." Inuyasha explained.
"And now, I must go, I can't linger here any longer" he stated as he began walking off.
Kagome looked at his retreating figure with tears in her eyes. "No" she said hoarsely."
"No! Don't leave me!" Kagome yelled as she began running after him. But he just faded off into the white nothingness, with out a trace.
"Inuyasha!!!"
