Lost and Alone

Chapter Eleven

Kagome awoke with a pain in her head. 'Uhg, where am I?' Everywhere she looked was complete darkness. She had this feeling as if she were being watched. Then she heard the laugh. It sent shivers up her spine. She noticeably tensed. Out of the darkness emerged Kikyo. Her eyes held sadness and regret. Her miko garb was splattered with blood and was torn. Kagome stared at her sister.

"Kagome, I am so sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"For doing this; I sent Naraku after you. For that, I am sorry."

Kagome listened and took in the words she had processed from her sister. This was not her sister. Her sister would have never apologized. Deep down inside, somewhere in her sister, she would always hate her.

'I will reach Kagome. I must. Or else, my soul will be forever imprisoned in this living hell. There she is. All I have to do is sweet talk her and I should be fine. Then perhaps I will be able to use her body to transfer my soul. Then Sesshomaru and I will finally be together just as I planned.'

"Kagome, I am so sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"For doing this; I sent Naraku after you. For that, I am sorry."

'She is not buying it. I will not stand for this. I will not lose to my sister!'

'This is not right. She must be scheming something. Her miko garb is ripped. Could she possibly be.......dead?'

"Kikyo, are you dead?"

'Drat. Might as well answer right?'

"Yes Kagome. Naraku slaughtered me not long after he captured you."

"Then where are we? How are you able to move?"

"We are in your mind. You are fighting for your memory. Outside, you have no idea who or what you are. You have no memory and you have forgotten everything. But I have to ask you for a favor."

"Depends, what is it?"

"I need you to surrender you body to my soul. Then Sesshomaru and I will finally be together."

Kagome seemed to be taken back by this comment. Then she seemed to calm down. She looked at Kikyo with pity. 'The only reason she wants my body is because of Sesshomaru. But, I can't do that. I love Sesshomaru.'

"I am sorry Kikyo. But I cannot let you do that. I will not give up Sesshomaru to you."

"HA! You? What makes you think that he would love you? He just fools you Kagome. Why on earth would he love you? He is just pretending that you are me in my absence! Fool! He would never love you. How do you know that he loves you?"

"I don't. But I do know that he would never love you."

"HA! We shall see dear sister, we shall see."

Then she vanished. 'What have you done Kikyo? And what does she mean I'm fighting for my memory?' Suddenly a road appeared in front of her. Sigh 'Maybe I should take it. There is no sense in dwelling here.' With that decided she walked down the road. As she went further down, she saw mountains of corpses. There had been a big battle. She continued her walk down the road. Scattered across her pass were youkai and humans alike.

As she continued she tried to remain calm. Something was coming up ahead, it wasn't bad. She just didn't know what it was. Her heart pained from seeing the corpses. Ahead of her were broken weapons, bones, hearts, everything. She continued and as she went further, the pain continued to grow. But she didn't stop. She couldn't, no matter how hard she tried. She had to regain those memories and come back to the real world. Finally, she neared the end of the battlefield.

She looked back at the mountains of corpses. Her brown orbs were overflowing from emotions. Anger, hatred, jealousy, greed, sadness, and mostly pain. The world was filled with those emotions. Only very lucky ones would find happiness, salvation, and love. She would be one of those lucky ones.

Suddenly, the mountains of corpses were replaced by a desert of demolished villages and homes. If this was her mind, then why was it like this? It seemed as if everywhere and everything in her mind was in ruins. Her mind was broken. Just like these places. Her memories were gone. She was hollow. Everything was shattered. She endured all the pain that welled in her heart. Every village she walked through, she closed her eyes. She did not want to see all of this pain and disaster.

Then, the desert was switched with and ocean. It was an ocean of blood. She was getting closer. She could feel it. She soon became covered in blood. The blood was everywhere. There was no way to avoid it. Some blood would just spout up at you.

She then saw something far away. She just had to reach it. She didn't know what it was. She just knew that it was bad. The aura wasn't evil. It was soothing, comforting, and warm, it was happiness. It was calling for her. HE was calling for her. She began to walk at a faster pace. Then it became a jog. It became a run. Then it turned into a sprint. Finally, she dashed over.

Then she saw a light up ahead. She ran over to that light. When she arrived she was in a room full of mirrors. She looked around. Then out of nowhere he appeared. He seemed familiar. He came to comfort her. She couldn't see who it was on account of the light. She wanted to see him. But he wouldn't let her. But whoever it was was comforting and knew her well. He wanted to help her. He wrapped his arms around her. She felt strong muscular hands snake around her waist. He pulled her close. Then finally she looked up.

She saw her silver-haired Sesshomaru. He smiled at her. His eyes showed all of his emotions. The golden orbs were threatening to overflow with sadness, despair, and love.

"Kagome, please wake up."

Again, he pulled her close. He ran his fingers threw her hair. All he ever wanted was right there. It was so close but yet so far away. He had to make her remember. He stared at her chocolate eyes and got lost in them. They embraced for what it seemed as eternity. They never wanted to let go of this feeling. Being safe with no one else to hurt them. They tightened their embrace. Unknown to Kagome that she was doing exactly the same thing outside of her mind.

Sesshomaru leaned down and kissed her. Her eyes snapped open. The calm mirrors that surrounded them shattered angrily. Everything started to fade to black. It started to fade away. Kagome looked at Sesshomaru in fear. He too was disappearing. His look gave her a comforting feeling as if to say not to be afraid. Trusting Sesshomaru she gave in. When she opened her eyes again, Sesshomaru was there smiling at her.

"You got it back, ne?" he smirked. Kagome nodded and flung herself on him. She started to cry. Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her. 'I will never let you get hurt ever again.' Kagome looked up at him. "Sesshomaru, do you love me?" He was taken back by this question. "Kikyo said that you hated me and pretended only to like me because I look like her." Sesshomaru stared at Kagome. "Why would you believe her? Ever since I first laid eyes on you I have fallen in love with you. You showed me things that no one else could. I love you Kagome." Kagome's eyes were now rimmed with tears. "I love you to Sesshomaru." He embraced her as she fell asleep. 'I will personally slaughter Naraku for hurting Kagome. I swear it.' He then too fell into a dreamless sleep.

'So, the girl has regained her memories. Oh well, she still has a great fear of me. That is good enough for now. Maybe I shall pay her a little visit soon.' A malicious laugh filled the night air sending shivers down every creature's spine. 'Soon Kagome, soon.' Then he disappeared into the shadows leaving only an ominous aura in his wake.

I'm back! Sorry about the delay. But I did say around Tuesday. Well anyways, sorry about the short chapters and the rushed story line. Here are my pathetic reasons: Number one, this is my first fan fiction and I had no idea how to develop the story line. Two, I chose the PERFECT time to right it just before my cousins came. Oh and for those of you who keep complaining about the length of my paragraphs. Then you try it. It's a lot longer then you think. I didn't know how much you had to right until I looked at mine. Just try and make your own fan fiction and you'll see. Well that's all! I hope you liked this one I tried to make it longer. R&R
