"Kagome…KAGOME?!"
There he stood, his eyes never leaving Kagome who was now...gone. He tilted his head down, gripping on her shoulders tightly, his silver bangs covering his face. He was now the one shaking. He slowly stood himself up; his bangs still covering his eyes as her heard Naraku's sinister laugh. All memories of Kagome flooded his mind. Her voice...her laughter...her smile...her warmth...his Kagome. He clenched his fists by his sides, his claws digging deep in his skin causing blood to know drip down them. He raised his face to meet the eyes of his enemies; a single tear flowed down his cheek.
"You...you heartless bastard. Damn you to hell. You've taken away someone that can never be replaced...someone that I deeply cared and loved. Now...you, Naraku, are going to wish I would've killed you long ago..."
His eyes began to turn blood red as her let out a demonic roar, loud and veracious. Purple scars now tore through his cheeks, his hair flowing through the air, growling out loudly. From that point...his full youkai form took over him, and there was nothing left but blood and death. His mind blindly seeking on thing, death of Naraku.
'Inu...yasha...'
******
Inuyasha's anger came to seize for one moment when he clenched his eyes tightly and reopened them.
'Blood....'
He looked with horror as he saw the ground pooled in blood. The stench of it was everywhere, it was posioning his mind. It was his blood...Naraku's...he was now dead. He found his body in shreds, the sight was horrible. He brought his claws to where he could see them, stained of blood. He snarled at himself but then remembered.
"KAGOME!"
He rushed over to where she laid no caring about anything around him. He kneeled down and wrapped his arms around her limp form. He led to of his clawed fingers to her neck, pressing them against them, feeling a very faint pulse. She was hanging by the end of a thread to survive. This was his fault...he should've never left her side.
'Damnit!'
"Kagome...just hang in there, please. I'll get you to Kaede's as fast as possible. Please, just hold on..."
He softly whispered to her. He then clenched on to her tightly and carried her bridal-style.
"Inuyasha..."
His eyes widen as he turned around quickly, holding Kagome even tighter than before the meet his eyes with much familiar ones. That cold, empty voice.
"...Kikyo..."
"She will not make it if you try to take her to Kaede's."
She said sternly. He growled at her response.
"Put her down..."
"Nani?"
"Inuyasha...if you want her to live...put her back down."
He looked at her, his eyes filled with confusion. But...if it is the only way to save her, then he had no choice. He then kneeled back down, resting her back to the ground. Kikyo slowly walked over to her side and kneeled down, looking at her pale form. She rested her hand on her chest, feeling nothing but the chills from her almost lifeless body.
'Her warmth, I can't feel it anymore....'
She then took the same hand, searching something inside her top, bringing it back out something glowing from her hand. Inuyasha looked for a second then realized...
"A shikon shard!"
"Inuyasha...please...be silent..."
Kikyo then with both hands took hold of Kagome's hands, resting the shard in between them then resting hers on top of them, holding them closely together. She then closed her eyes going into a deep concentration.
'Kagome...hear my call...hear my prayer...'
The shard the glowed through both their hands brightly, almost blindly as Inuyasha watched in amazement what was happening. He shut his eyes tightly from its brightness. He could feel the shard's shine all over him, it feel...warm and somewhat enchanting. He could hear a faint sharp noise, then opened his eyes instantly, looking all around him. It was a flower field...with the sun in the sky shining boldly down at him as he squinted his eyes from.
'W-Where am I...?'
'Inuyasha...'
"Nani?"
He turned her head, looking all around him to find nothing.
'You are the only one who can save her...go find her...'
"Kikyo..."
'There isn't much time! Go now!'
He was in shock that he was helping...both Kagome and himself. From all the times he can remember her trying to hurt Kagome, what made her try to save her? This was all so confusing to him...but now he had to find her...Kagome. He walked through the flower field, closing his eyes and taking a breath of the aura around him. It smelled...so much of Kagome. It soothed him somewhat.
"Inuyasha..."
He then opened his eyes to find Kagome standing there in front of him, her hands held behind her back, her raven-black hair swaying by the wind, her deep eyes drowning into his.
"Kagome..."
"I can...feel all the life in me slipping away InuYasha...it's hard...to live..."
The world around him started to grow into darkness. He then grabbed her shoulders, clenching on them tightly shaking her a bit. He looked at her, then raising his hands from her shoulders up to her cheeks, caressing them gently. He then leaned his head foreword, resting his forehead against hers closing his eyes and breathing in her scent. It felt so much better to feel her warmth, the hear her voice, to look into her eyes rather then holding on to her lifeless form. He almost felt like he was dreaming, was he?
"Inuyasha...help me...to breathe again..."
He looked at her, his eyes sadden once more as they began to get somewhat watery. He could he save her? What was he suppose to do...he promised to himself that no matter what he would always protect her and save her in whatever way he could. But he didn't know what to do...
"Kagome...."
He did the first thing that came to mind. He leaned his face down gently brushing his lips over hers. He then felt Kagome's arms snake around his neck, bring herself closer to him. He savored the taste of her lips, how he yearned for them. The kiss was sweet and gentle, just like her. He felt something burn inside him, something as if it were reaching out to her. He didn't understand, and he didn't care if he did. He just wanted to save her.
'Kagome....'
******
He then opened his eyes looking down at Kagome, her eyelids half opened looking back into his. He backed away a bit to see his hand resting on top of both Kikyo's and Kagome's.
"K-Kagome...?"
He moved his hand away in disbelief as Kikyo did the same, slowly rising to her feet and backing of a bit as she watch Kagome sit herself slowly up. She slight smiled appeared on her face, she could even from where she stood feel the warmth and compassion of Kagome's soul. Inuyasha quickly wrapped her arms around Kagome, holding her tightly against his chest, resting her head under his chin. He then looked up at Kikyo.
"Arigato...Kikyo..."
"There is no need to thank me. She saved me once, now I saved her...so we are even..."
She then turned around and began walking away.
"Why...Kikyo...why did you save her...?"
She then stopped in her place and turned herself to face him.
"Like she said to me before…there are people would be sad...if she weren't around..."
Once more, she turned around and walked off, away from the two and into the shadows of the night.
