Souls of the Dead
Chapter Four
But I still love you
#%#%#%
Me: EXCUUUUUSE ME if the title seems sappy, but I was kinda trying to think what I was gonna make happen. I have a feeling that you'll like this chapter – and especially the next one.
Inuyasha: I like all the chapters.
Me: =D O0O0O baby you got meeeeeeeeeee.
Yami: o.
Yugi: (sigh) true love.
Yami: Yeah....but.....do they have to do....that....in front of us?
Yugi: (turning red) Let's....leave them alone.... (leaving looking back and letting out a nervous giggle.)

Naraku turned his head, crinkling his eyebrows. His eyes looked like mere slits – he was exploding in rage.
"She couldn't have." He murmured. He ran back outside. "NO!"
He stopped himself before he moved on forward.
"No, this is a trick." He said, closing his eyes. "I know where she is. But I'll wait until she comes to me." He turned around and began walking back, his mad laughter filling the air.
"Ah soh?" murmured the little fox youkai hiding behind a tree. He eyed Naraku with an icy stare, then disappeared behind the bushes.

Naomi walked through the forest and took a long whiff. She still had no idea where she was in the forest, but she could feel that she wasn't too far away from Inuyasha.
She sat down by a small tree to rest.
She could feel the pollen in the air.
Oh uh, she thought. Naomi must be allergic to pollen. She leaned forward and sneezed which echoed through the forest.
She turned around as she heard soft footsteps. It sounded more like scurrying.
She stood up and gulped. "Who's there?" she chocked.
"Kagome?" she heard a high voice say.
She widened her eyes. She saw a little fox jumping into her arms.
"Shippo!" she cried. She opened her arms as the little youkai hopped in. He giggled.
"Everyone said you had died Kagome. I didn't believe them for one second."
He looked up and squirmed away.
"You're not Kagome!" he cried, frightened.
"Shippo, it IS me."
Shippo gasped. "Kagome must have died then." He backed away. "Who are you?"
Naomi leaned down and explained the story to Shippo.
"Oh Kagome." Shippo hopped into Naomi's arms and gave her a warm hug. "You're always such a good person."
Naomi could feel hot tears rolling down her cheeks. "Arigauto Shippo-Chan. I'm glad I'll always have friends like you."
She stood up and sniffed. She rubbed her nose and looked around. "We have to go look for Inuyasha now." She gestured her head. "Let's go."
Shippo skipped along behind Naomi.
"Inuyasha-sama?"
"Hai."
She squeezed her eyes shut and sneezed again. (stupid pollen) She lowered her head and sighed.
"What is it Kagome?" Shippo asked, jumping along side Naomi.
Naomi stopped. She kneeled down and drew in the dirt with her fingers.
"Well Shippo, it's just that, I haven't seen Inuyasha in a long time. I mean what if he doesn't like me anymore? Or, what he's mad that I'm in Naomi's body? I don't know what to expect."
Shippo puffed out his chest.
"Don't worry Kagome! If he picks on you, then he'll get a load of me."
Naomi smiled, the sneezed again.
"You have bad allergies to this pollen Kagome." Shippo said.
Naomi sniffed again. "My nose is burning. I think its red now."
"Let's go."
And they started off again, Shippo in Naomi's hands.
"Oy Kagome?"
"Hai Shippo."
"Are you going to find Inuyasha-san? What if he does go wild on you?"
Naomi stopped with a look of emptiness on her face as she sneezed again.
"Goes wild on me? I thought he'd just be mad."
"I didn't mean it like that Kagome!" cried Shippo.
Naomi gave a sheepish smile. "If he does, I'll give him one of my...." Naomi paused as she brought her hand to her face. She stopped as it appeared the sneeze went away.
"Like I was saying, if he goes I'll hive him one of my (sneeze) SIT BOY!" Naomi bent forward and wiped her nose. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a tissue, but she stopped once she heard a loud thump.
"Inuyasha!"
Naomi looked up and saw a branch waving in the air.
He must have been on that tree over there, she thought, running as fast as she could with Shippo hanging on by her ankles.
"INU-YASHA!!!!!!!!" she cried. She was almost there! She could see Inuyasha with his face planted into the ground and saw him peeling himself off of the ground.
She ran up to him and wrapped her arms around him.
"I can't believe I'm here again!" she screamed with tears. "I can't believe I'm in here in your arms! This is where I always longed to be and—"
She was cut short as she felt herself fly back onto the soft soil.
She cringed at Inuyasha as she saw his eyes stare down on her like stone.
"I-Inu-ya-yasha?" she stammered.
He crossed his arms and glared at her from a 5 foot distance.
"You still have the nerve to come see me?"
Naomi widened her eyes. "What? I don't know—"
"SHUT UP!" he screamed violently. Naomi squinted her eyes as she saw angry tears fly out of his eyes.
"YOU BITCH!" he screamed. "THIS WHOLE TIME – DID YOU BETRAY ME? THIS WHOLE TIME WE WERE TOGETHER, DID YOU GO BEHIND MY BACK AND LIE?"
"Inuyasha...." Naomi stood up and started walking over to him. She stopped in alarm as he raised his claws and wriggled his fingers.
"Don't come any closer." He warned.
Naomi started to cry and shook her head as she took one more hesitant step towards him.
"I WARNED YOU!" Inuyasha flew out at Naomi. She screamed and closed her eyes.
"OSWARI!!!!!"
Inuyasha resisted the pull. He groaned and tugged at the rosary and it stopped. He stood where he was and raised his head to Naomi. "You didn't get me that time."
"NO!" Naomi ran up to his and knocked him to the ground. "PLEASE Inuyasha! Control yourself!"
Shippo popped up from behind Naomi. "Inuyasha!" he jumped at him but Inuyasha slapped him back against a tree.
Naomi tugged at his shirt. "Stop it! Stop it right now!" she pleaded.
"WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME?" he screamed. "WHY DID YOU PUT ME THROUGH SO MUCH PAIN?"
Naomi widened her eyes. She got off of Inuyasha and stared at him while he was still on the ground, forcing back tears.
The sight of seeing him cry made her cry too.
"Inuyasha." She whispered. "I'm not Naomi."
Inuyasha gasped and stood up. He raised her chin and stared at her face. He flicked down his hand in anger.
"Yes you are, you liar!" he raised his hand again but Naomi held it back.
"Look closer." She whispered.
Inuyasha looked confused, but he pulled his face closer to hers and stared at her eyes.
That same twinkle.
The same twinkle in the eye that he was used to seeing.
He pulled Naomi's hair behind her ears.
"It's me – Kagome." She cried, her voice straining.
Inuyasha's breathing became loud and heavy.
"Wh-what?" he whispered, raising his face to hers. "Is it?"
Naomi nodded. She leaned forward and hugged him as hard as she could.
She paused and looked up at him, still hugging him.
"Do you....?"
He smiled and kissed her on her forehead.
"I always have." He said, hugging her back.
"I never doubted you for a second." She mouthed. She closed her eyes and rubbed her cheek on his chest. She never wanted to let go.

Me: So how'd you guys liked that chapter?
Inuyasha: o.O I feel a cat fight coming along.
Me: NO!!!!
Inuyasha: Heh, sureeeee.
Me: Whatever. Anyways, I'm starting a new story, but it technacly isn't a story. It might go on for a while, so I'm going to do that one as I do my other stories. I might finish this story before moving on, but I'm going to start that story – The NEW Inuyasha!
Inuyasha: The new me eh?
Me: Yup! Narrated by ME!!
Inuyasha: I don't like where this is going. .
