Chapter 11 Another Promise and the Return of Kagome
The fire crackled softly as everyone quieted down. No one spoke and there was a lull silence between all of them.
"What are we going to do now?" the monk finally spoke up, "we don't know what Naraku's going to do next and we don't know where the rest of the shards are."
"Everyone here might be in danger here we might as well stay and protect them unless you have other plans, Inuyasha." Sango added as her hand went over to Kirara and petted her head very softly because she didn't want to wake up her or Shippou who slept lightly next to Kirara.
Inuyasha looked down once again there was silence as Miroku and Sango both waited for his response.
"I guess you're right. We will just have to stay here only for a while." The dog demon responded coldly then he left the hut his head down as he left.
Miroku sighed and looked at Sango, "is he ever going to recover? It seems that the death of Kikyou has affected him. He wants to kill Naraku even more now."
"Maybe, he has become independent and spends more time thinking to himself." Sango paused, "if Kagome were here we wouldn't be like this. She is the only one that can get close to Inuyasha right now.Do you think he has forgotten about her?"
"No, I highly doubt it even if he doesn't want her name spoken he probably still thinks of her."
"Do you think he blames himself for Keade's death as well?"
"I don't know."
"Are you sure we shouldn't go talk to him?"
"No, just let him be. Hopefully he will return to his senses." Miroku responded as he looked into the burning fire.
-Outside in the dark-
Inuyasha finally stopped and made a fist with both of his hands, "Damn you Naraku!" he whispered to himself, "you dare to kill Kikyou again and Kaede too. What purpose did it serve? I will find you and kill you with my hands" The dog demon ran out of the village his head down and letting his feet take him wherever they were going. His eyes seemed to burn one single tear out of them and hate filled his heart once more.
He slowed down until he stopped and his golden eyes looked up. To his surprise he stood in front of the tree. The very tree Kikyou pinned him to, it brought back memories as usual. 'Kikyou.' He thought, 'you were the first person I fell in love with and I will always keep you in my heart.' He stood there and recollected his memories that was all he could do now.
Lately he had been careless, first Kaede dies because of Naraku. Then Kikyou, he remembered he face so clearly as she fell to the ground even more lifeless then she had been. He remembered her dark black hair as it fell over her face. Naraku killed her in front of him, he probably enjoyed every last minute of his suffering.
"Kikyou."
"Inuyasha."a voice echoed softly he recognized this voice almost instantly. His eyes widened at the figure in front if him. She stood tall with her regular outfit, miko clothing. She shined as if she were a ghost that was there to haunt him again. Her cold brown eyes looked into his trying to go deep inside him trying to find out something. She finally looked away.
"You know that I am dead right?" she asked him, " I will never return to this world with you ever again. This is probably that last time I will ever see you."
"Don't say that, I'll find a way to get you back and I'll avenge your death- "
"You're lying. You've said that already and you haven't done anything. And there IS NO Possible way to get me back, you out of all the people in this world should know that!"
"Kikyou."
"You love her don't you?"
"Who?"
"You know who I am talking about. That girl that looked like me, my reincarnation."
"I want to forget about her she's never coming back," Inuyasha looked away, 'why is she reminding me of Kagome in a time like this?'
"You want to but you can't. I can see it in your eyes her image always appears in your eyes when I look into them."
"Kikyou I love you and only you- "
"Stop lying!" her calm voice turned into a loud scream. Her eyes turned colder with all the hate she felt inside, "if you don't love her then join me in hell! I asked you that over and over but you never cared because you had someone in our life that you cared about, that you loved!"
"N-"
"So I am going to ask you again, do you want to go to hell with me?" There was silence.
"You still want her to come back and you believe that she will. I can't change that and I can't change what you feel," she turned so that he could see only her back.
Her head looked up, "this is the tree I pinned you too then I died right after. I remember," she turned to face him again, "If you really love me then you will kill Naraku and everyone that stands in your way then join me in hell." Kikyou started fading slowly.
"Kikyou, what's wrong?" Inuyasha sounded alert as the miko started fading into the darkness.
"Damn my time has run out. I have to go."
"No, Kikyou don't leave me!" Inuyasha ran toward her and put his arms around her before she could say anything, "don't."
"Promise me." Kikyou said her voice was also fading away it was like a soft whisper.
"I promise!" then all he held was the cold air of the forest Kikyou was gone as if she hadn't been there, "I promised her that I would go to hell. There is nothing here that is left for me now. Even she's gone, Kagome left me too." Inuyasha looked up at the stars as if searching for Kikyou before he fell asleep next the tree. He could still feel her spirit around and he wanted to stay close to it.
-Old Well-
"Finally!" Kagome pulled her body out of the well and put her feet on the ground, "it's really dark, but I think I will be able to find Keade's village." She felt like running, but she didn't she wanted to surprise her. Kaede was like a grandmother to her she wandered how she was doing and also was ready to apologize for not saying anything about the move she had to make with her family, but she knew she would understand.
She started to pass the tree until she stopped and just looked at the top of it because the was the only part visible. 'Should I?' she thought wandering if she should go to see how the tree was, but then she told herself not to and continue to the village. Every step she took felt like she was in a dream. She had finally returned to the Feudal Era. Even thought it was only about a year in a half it felt like a really long time. She missed her own secret place where her journey had started.
Not really wanting to she started to walk faster until it was practically a jog, she couldn't stop herself then she was running even though she told herself she wouldn't. The village appeared in minutes and even though she was still in the dark she could make out which hut was the one that Kaede lived in.
Kagome stopped right in front of it tears in her eyes, her shadow reflected on the 'door'. 'I'd better stop crying. I should be happy!' with her free hand she brushed the tears away and entered.
-Inuyasha's forest-
The half demon laid against the old tree where he was pinned to fifty years ago his mind thought about Kikyou and the promise he had made to her just a few minutes ago. 'I must kill Naraku and join Kikyou in Hell then we will be happy together like we were meant to be,' he paused, 'Damn. Kikyou's right even thought I try, I can't forget her.Kagome.' Inuyasha pulled out the golden locket and opened it. Kagome's smile was frozen on her face and her eyes glowed with happiness, 'I wander where you are now.' His ears twitched as he heard something. He breathed in the air to smell a familiar scent, Inuyasha moved away from the tree and headed toward the Well fast.
The human girl looked into the Well all there was, was darkness. 'SO this is how you get to this world.' She thought, 'I wonder how to get back.'
"Kikyou? Is it you?" a male voice from behind asked making the girl jump.
"Nani?!What?" She turned quickly to face a boy with golden eyes. He stood before her with the oddest clothing she had ever seen. The soft moonlight hit his long silver hair. 'He must be from this place,' She thought, 'what should I say?' He stepped closer until he could practically reach out and touch her.
"I thought you were."
'Okay, what is he talking about?' Morgan wished she could step back but if she did she would fall back into the Well. She turned her head and looked down the Well again then back to the boy.
"Kikyou."he reached out and hugged her so tight she couldn't pull away from his grip. 'What's going on?' Morgan thought full of shock, a boy she just saw had come up and hugged her, did he somehow know her?
"Um."Morgan started out unable to say anything no words were coming to her mouth as his arms stayed around her. They felt so warm she didn't really want to move away from him now.
"I wanted to save you, but it was already too late." His calm voice spoke out, "I love you and I still want to be by your side because you have my life in your hands."
'What is he saying?' Morgan thought as the words reached her heart. They were words of love and even though she didn't know the boy she felt little happiness in her wounded heart, she felt happy to be in his arms. 'Koga.'
-Keade's Hut-
"So you still haven't said anything about Kaede, where is she I thought she would be here." Kagome asked sitting back down on the floor. She saw Miroku and Sango look at each other before they said anything and there was a silence.
"What's wrong?"
"Kagome, Keade's dead." Sango said rather slowly. The words repeated in Kagome's mind like endless tape playing over and over again. 'Kagome, Keade's dead.'
"You're lying!" The human girl yelled even though she knew it was true, they way Sango said it; it had to be true, but how?
"Naraku killed her," Miroku replied. Kagome lowered her head, "and Inuyasha is he dead too?"
"No he went off somewhere I can't blame him for being so sad after what happened. He's blaming himself for Keade's death and Kikyou's-"
"Naraku killed Kikyou too?"
"Yes, while you were gone, probably a few months after you left"
"I'll go find him."
"You shouldn't go at night, take Kirara." Sango was about to wake up her cat demon until Kagome shook her head.
"No, he must be nearby I want to go alone," she said in a cold tone then left without another word.
'So she's dead.' Kagome just starred at the ground as she walked trying to hide tears of pain that were held in her heart. She didn't want to cry in front Sango and Miroku, but she wondered how Inuyasha felt. 'He's probably suffering,' She stopped, 'Kikyou's dead is this my chance? Will Inuyasha like me as much as her?------ I shouldn't think that way. She's dead and I shouldn't try to take her place in his heart even though he's already taken a place in mine.' She wiped tears from her cheeks, 'I wish I had said sayonara to Kaede when I had the chance.' She raised her head, but there was no Inuyasha she was alone all alone while everyone else slept in their houses. 'Could he be in the forest? He's not here.' She started heading to the forest without a second thought all she wanted was to be in his arms, that was what she wanted as soon as she placed a foot in the Feudal Era.
-Inuyasha's forest-
They stayed quiet for a moment until the boy placed his lips on hers suddenly. Morgan was shocked, but didn't pull away and even kissed him back a little. 'His lips feel so warm against mine. I can't pull away; I don't want to, who is he? I remember the last kiss I ever had from the boy that I loved with all my heart but in the end he broke it and went after Kagome, I still feel pain in my heart and I still hold a small grudge against Kagome, she stole him from me.if it wasn't for her.for her.I would have been so happy for the very first time in my life.' the boy pulled away from her and wiped tears that came from her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, it just that."
"Inuyasha?!" a voice from behind screamed. Both Inuyasha turned to face the person who screamed and his eyes widened.
"Kagome!" Morgan cried out and ran to her.
"Morgan, what are you doing here?"
"You asked if I was going to help you so I came." Kagome's eyes glittered with happiness.
" I can't believe it-"
"Will someone tell me what's going on?" Inuyasha asked with an annoyed face as he saw what was going on.
"Oh yea, Inuyasha this is Morgan a friend fro---"
"Morgan?"
"Yea-"
"You mean she isn't Kik-" He starred at Morgan for a while but realized that stupid mistake he had done, mistaking the girl to be Kikyou. Kagome knew what he was about to say and didn't say anything, 'I wish I could say something but there isn't anything to say. Especially not with Morgan here she doesn't know what is going on. I will have to talk to Inuyasha alone later'
Inuyasha walked right between them rudely and disappeared into the darkness heading toward the village again. Kagome looked at Morgan and smiled slightly, "C'mon let's go." then followed the dog demon. Morgan placed a hand on her heart, 'what just happened? He thought I was someone else that was why he kissed me?' Morgan thought in the dark alone, 'but that kiss.' she touched her lips, 'they still feel warm.'
"Hello." an arm came around her body and the other around her mouth fast so she couldn't scream or say anything. She tried to get free but the grip around her hands and mouth was too strong.
Then the dark voice pulled her far away past the well that she came out from and deeper into the forest, what was he going to do to her? Fear raced in her, nothing like this ever happened to her, she couldn't even fight back.
"You have something I want and you're going to give it to me."
No one heard her.
And no one would save her.
What was she going to do now?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - End of chapter.this one is long hope you enjoyed it. I am sorry that the characters are sort of weird.
-.-'
But I have to make Inuyasha a little bit cold since Naraku killed Kikyou again, but in the end Inuyasha and Kagome will be together! That is why this is an Inu/Kag fic (duh!)
