Chapter 2

..............................

Kagome felt like a prisoner in her own body. She was trapped behind the other side of a mirror, the mirror of her own image.

She was imprisoned in a dark room in the far back of her mind. She was striped of her bodies control and all of her emotions.

Each arm and leg was chained to a black wall of nothingness.

She was watching everything in front of her, yet she was powerless to stop it.

Tears fell from her eyes as she watched Inuyasha awake and find himself still trapped in his human form.

Yet her body laughed at the situation. The evil cackle echoed within her soul and it slowly devoured her.

"Why are you doing this?" She screamed into the darkness she was confined to.

Nothing answered her.

"Answer me!" Kagome yelled, "I deserve to know!"

"You hold no power human." A female voice answered her.

"You will not win!" Kagome shouted. "Let me out!"

"I could not do that even if I tried." The voice answered.

"Liar!" Kagome screamed.

"Stop resisting. It makes things harder in the long run." The voice echoed.

"But why me?!?" Kagome demanded.

"Because you were closest." The voice answered.

"Uh!" Kagome cried. "You're sick!"

This only ensued another echoed laugh.

............................

Outside Kagome's body, the others surrounded Inuyasha who was almost on the brink of tears.

"This is impossible...impossible...impossible..." Inuyasha kept repeating.

Sango and Miroku exchanged glances.

"I don't understand this." Miroku said.

"You don't understand this!!" Inuyasha roared.

"Inuyasha, please remain calm." Sango tried.

"Remain calm!" Inuyasha cried, "How can I remain calm when I'm human!!"

Miroku gazed up at the sky, "Perhaps it has something to do with the sun?"

Sango shrugged her shoulders.

Shippo scampered up onto Inuyasha's shoulder and sniffed him, "Yep, he's still human alright."

Inuyasha turned his eyes to the kit, "Naw really? What ever gave you that idea?!?" He whacked Shippo off of his shoulder.

Shippo began to cry and he ran over to Kagome and jumped into her arms. He pushed his teary face close to her shirt and cried, "Kagome, Inuyasha's being mean!"

Kagome didn't answer.

Shippo raised his lead and looked at her face, which was stern and held no emotion. "Kagome?!?" Shippo said in a whining voice.

Kagome's head and eyes slowly moved and looked down at Shippo, then a smile slowly slipped to her lips, "Oh Shippo, don't worry, Inuyasha just needs someone to take his anger out on."

"Feh." Inuyasha replied. Kagome redirected her eyes to him, and her face froze again.

"I wonder if this has happened to all half breeds." Sango wondered aloud.

Miroku shrugged, "Or else Inuyasha is just special."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"Perhaps we should go talk to Keade?" Kagome mentioned.

Inuyasha turned to her, "And what good would that do?"

Kagome's gaze lowered on Inuyasha, and her face looked fierce.

Inuyasha stood up and faced her; he cocked his head to the side and gazed at her. "Kagome?"

Kagome blinked once, but still continued to stare with anger.

Now both Sango and Miroku noticed Kagome's change in emotion. Sango took a step towards her, "Kagome?" she asked, "You ok?"

"Fine." Kagome answered shortly.

...............................

Inside Kagome's mind she was screaming to her friends.

"Guys! Help me! Inuyasha! Sango! That's not me!" Kagome screamed.

"They can't hear you dearie..." the voice answered.

"I don't care if they can't hear me... I'll keep shouting forever!!" Kagome yelled to the shadows.

The voice didn't answer. Kagome thought she had scared it, "You'll never win! They'll figure out what's going on! You'll see! You'll never master my personality! And they'll see through that!"

"Then maybe I need to dig a little deeper into your mind..." the voice answered.

Kagome drew back, and began to tremble.

Suddenly, a long fingered hand emitted from the darkness of her prison. It rushed towards her and clasped itself onto the top of her head.

Kagome screamed as its grip tightened on her skull. She shook her head violently to try and throw the hand off, but it didn't work.

Kagome found herself being overcome with a feeling of calmness. She grew tired and weak...yet serene.

Her mind was being drained. Her memories and thoughts fell through and became able to be read. Like reading the pages of an open book.

She couldn't keep her eyes open, as her mind turned to jelly.

.........................

A woman stood in the center of a large room, which resembled a grand ball room.

Except the windows were dark, as well as the atmosphere of the room. The chandeliers shinned no light, and seemed to be made of black crystal.

The only color was a deep crimson rug that stretched in a strait line from one end of the room to another.

The woman stood in the center of the room, on this rug. Her long gray robes spread around her form, a few draped onto the floor behind her.

She wares the gray clothing loosely, showing her lustrous figure. Her breasts are barely covered.

The only item worn on her chest is a white shell that hangs from a small, thin string. The shell lies just above her navel.

Her deep blue hair was done up in two braids that hang long at her side. Wisps of blue hair hang in her face, and cover her eyes.

Her skin seemed almost transparent. With a haunting ghost-like quality.

Her might arm is extended and is visible, all the way until her wrist. Where the rest of her hand and fingers are missing.

Then, they slowly return. Faint at first, but then gaining color.

She pulls her arm back towards her chest, turning her wrist slightly.

Somewhere in the room, a breeze picks up and it strikes her body. Her clothing flaps in the breeze and her hair is moved from around her face.

Her eyes are revealed. They are a deep silver color, with accents of white. Almost as if she was blind.

The woman holds a pondering look on her face. She is thinking.

Then, her thin lips turn into a smile. Her tongue jets out and runs over her top lip, then slithers back in. Her smile grows brighter.

Her name is Akagai.

.....................................

"Fine...I'm just fine... It's just..." Kagome answers, turning her eyes to Inuyasha, she begins to cry. "I don't understand...what has happened to you Inuyasha?!?"

She throws her body forward and falls into Inuyasha's embrace.

"Kagome..." he whispers.

The others hang their heads. This was a tragic situation. Inuyasha is now unable to help them. Tetsugaiga is unable to transform. Their strongest weapon, gone.

"Kagome...please stop crying..." Inuyasha whispers to her.

Kagome looks up at him, from her place on his chest, "How did this happen to you Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha's eyes only glittered back.

"We'd all like to know that..." Miroku answered.

Kagome pulled herself together and stepped back from Inuyasha, wiping her eyes and nose.

"I'm sorry... I'm just...scared..." Kagome whimpers.

"I believe we all are..." Miroku said.

"What do we do?" Sango asked.

"What can we do?" Miroku answered.

"Perhaps we should return to the village?" Kagome suggested.

"You already suggested that Kagome." Inuyasha reminded her, "I don't think Keade has any kind of herbs to heal this kind of a situation."

Kagome's eyes flashed at Inuyasha, "I'm only trying to help, Inuyasha!" she cried.

"Well you're suggesting all the wrong kind of help!" Inuyasha shouted back.

"Watch it Inuyasha..." Shippo told him, from behind Sango's right leg, "Or Kagome will 'sit' you!"

Inuyasha growled, but he drew back slightly.

.........................................

Akagai's gaze narrowed slightly.

'Sit? What is this 'sit'?' she wondered.

She redirected her thoughts to the portion where she kept the real Kagome imprisoned.

....................................

Kagome felt her mind being reached into again. She opened her eyes, as if being forced to.

Her head was throbbing...she felt like she had been mentally violated.

This evil presence had stolen her thoughts, her memories. She had tapped into Kagome's emotions, her motor skills, her abilities.

Kagome lifted her head, to stare at a woman, dressed in gray with long navy hair and white eyes.

"You..." Kagome practically whispered.

"Akagai..." the woman answered. "Goddess of the Moon and its Phases, soon to be, Empress of Demons."

Kagome could not show her emotion. But inside she was screaming.

Akagai moved closer to Kagome, and reached up with a transparent hand, cupping Kagome's cheek.

"You are not an ordinary little miko, are you?" she spoke to Kagome.

Kagome didn't answer, or didn't have the strength to answer.

"Tell me, what is this power you have over the hanyou called Inuyasha?" Akagai asked.

"Inuyasha..." Kagome breathed. Suddenly, her eyes began to sparkle and she felt a bit of strength returning.

Akagai, turned to see the chains that bound Kagome seemed to be shaking, about to split and break.

Akagai grabbed the shell around her neck, she grasped it in her hands, as it began to glow its ruby color. Her eyes flashed to her skin, which seemed to be disappearing!

Kagome lifted her head, she was fully awake again, "INUYASHA!!" she cried. The chains began to crack at the ends.

"No! How can you have this power?!?" the woman cried.

............................

Outside Kagome's body, she began to scream.

Inuyasha and the others ran to her.

Kagome's knees bent as she fell to the ground. She clasped her hands on her hand and shook violently.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled to her. As she lay in his lap, still screaming.

...............................

Akagai thrusted out her hand and clasped Kagome's head. She concentrated and her silver/white eyes began to glow the same red color as the shell.

Suddenly, a soon as Kagome's strength was returning, she felt it disappear. The woman was stealing it.

The chains that bound Kagome began to reform back together, their bindings strengthened. Kagome, again, lost control.

Akagai let out an evil laugh, as she slowly removed her hand from Kagome's head.

Her skin was no longer in its transparent like state. It now held more substance, more rich normal coloring.

Akagai wound her fingers into fists and laughed louder.

Kagome's outburst of emotion, had fed her more energy. She now knew exactly why this little miko had so much hidden power.

"A reincarnation... a reincarnation!" she cried under her laughter.

Akagai let her laughter hang in the air. She reached out towards Kagome again and grabbed a fistful of her hair, bringing her face up to hers.

Kagome let out a slight whine, and she opened her eyes a slit.

"I thank you little one. You have helped seal the fate of every living demon...and you have provided me with the most amusing situation that I will surly use to my advantage!"

She dropped Kagome's hair, making her hand fall forward. Akagai disappeared into the darkness.

Kagome hung against the wall, she couldn't cry... but if she could, she would be.

That evil witch, she now knew everything. Everything about Inuyasha, Kikyo, Sango, Miroku, Sesshomaru, Naraku, the Jewel shards.

Kagome's sudden outbreak of power also let her into Akagai's mind.

Kagome now knew of Akagai's true purpose.

She was no Moon Goddess; she had killed the true Moon Goddess ages ago and taken her powers. She now had the knowledge of the phases of the moon and knows how to control them.

However, centuries ago, Kikyo had trapped her in the white shell; imprisoning her forever.

All until now, with Kagome, who was Kikyo's reincarnation...

Kagome had the same power that Kikyo had, that's why she was able to pull the arrow out of Inuyasha when he had been pined to the tree.

So now Kagome had released Akagai back into the feudal world.

Akagai had the moon trapped in its "new" form. All half-breeds were now rendered useless.

She meant to control all demons. Enslave them; use them to wreak havoc on the entire world.

The only way to do this was to go after an ancient secret of the feudal Solaris.

This mythical scroll will give her control over all demons who's lives are dependant of the phases of the moon.

Kikyo entrusted the secret of the scroll's whereabouts to only one person before she died...her younger sister...Keade.

Kagome shivered, Keade was in trouble. Akagai would use Kagome's body to hurt Keade.

No one could stop her, not even a human Inuyasha. For now, Akagai knew what it was to "sit" him.
