Disclaimer: I don't own inuyasha...blah blah blah...i do, however, in a way own my story line though, so please don't steal it. This is one of the most origional things i've written, and i actually think this one is kinda good. wow, long disclaimer.
Give me the jewel shards and I will consider letting you live." She said in a voice that was very much unlike her own.
"Never!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Or perhaps," Maya walked over to Kagome's body. "You would prefer it Inuyasha, if I released this girl you care so much about?"
"Wh-what did you do to her?" Inuyasha curse to himself for trusting these people. When Maya only smirked, his temper flared up again. "What did you do to Kagome!"
"It's quite simple really." Maya reached in her hand and pulled out a few of the remaining red berries. "These can do great things for mortals, but if mixed with the wrong things, they can do far worse." Maya let the berries fall from her hand to the ground slowly one by one.
Maya's mother's face was now sheet white. She recognized the berries, and knew full well what they would do but...she didn't understand... This wasn't her daughter. Her Maya would never do a thing like this. And who was this Naraku they spoke of?
Still Dreaming
By Endless Moonlight
Kagome sighed as she sank down to to her knees on the floor. If it even was a floor anyway. It was the same black as everything surrounding her. She could hardly even see her hand in front of her face. The only light given off was from the swirling portals.
okay, she'd just clear her mind and concentrate. Maybe then she could feel this pulling force she was supposed to be feeling right about now. Kagome closed her eyes and tried to empty her mind, though she wasn't exactly sure how she was supposed to go about doing it. Suddenly the image she had seen in the last dimension popped in her head.
She had seen herself and Inuyasha...they were alone in the clearing. Well, as alone as you can be with your own soul watching you, if that made any sense at all. Inuyasha was holding her in his arms. Then their eyes locked, and they leaned closer and closer untill...
Kagome turned around, face as red as ever, and left. She remembered being in that dimensions more than once in her dreams, and since she had always woken up at about that point, she decided she wouldn't spoil the ending...but then again, if all these dimensions were going to dissapear once she found the real one...
Kagome shook her head. She needed to get her mind out of the gutter. Alright, concentrate. She sat straght up and focused only on her stead breathing, until she was calmed. Focus...she thought over and over to herself. She could feel her mind clearing. It was relaxing... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- "That's right hitomo. You know what they do." Maya said with a slight laugh. It sent a chill down her mother's spine. "Why don't you share what they do with the half-breed." Inuyasha turned to look at Hitomo worridly, and waited what he hoped was an explination. Hitomo who seemed to still be in shock sttod there for a moment, before saying anything.
"When the berries are mixed with the potion, they change it. The result is the person who drinks it can go to whichever dimension they choose without feeling the pull towards the one which their soul most desires to be in. So unless Kagome manages to find this dimension on her own, she's going to remain there until she chooses one. The chances of her finding this one without being led there arn't very good..." Hitomo let out a sympathetic sigh. "I'm so sorry."
The expression on Inuyasha's face was almost unreadable. There were too many emotions running through him for him to comprehend. "S-so, she can't some back?" He said in a low voice. Hitomo only kept the same sympathetic look in her eyes. Of all the emotions that ran through him, one took over. It was the same one that always did. anger.
He lunged after Maya, claws flexed. Miroku and Hitomo had to rush after him to stop him from hitting the girl, who made no more to get out of the way.
"Inuyasha!" Miroku yelled in his ear. "We cannot strike her! You need to calm down. As much as I hate to admmit it, there is nothing we can do to help Lady Kagome at the moment."
"Well then what the hell are we supposed to do!" Inuyasha turned around to face Miroku who had since released him.
Unfortunetly when he turned around, he also turned his back to their attacker, who was now gathering a rather large orb of energy in on of her hands. The other held tightly to her necklace. "Inuyasha!" Shippo yelled. "Look-"
Shippo stopped when Maya suddenly fell limp into Sango's awaiting arms, the ball of energy dissapaited. Everyone just stared at Sango blankly.
"Ohh," She said once she realized they were waiting for and explination. "Pressure point. She was so fucused on attacking Inuyasha that she didn't notice me sneak behind her." Sango then laid Maya on the ground and slipped off her necklace handing it to Hitomo. "This controls her powers right?"
Hitomo nodded. "She can still use some without it, but nothing dangerous."
"But what about Kagome!" Shippo wailed. He was near tears and clinging to Inuyasha, who made no move to remove the distressed kitsune. Hitomo let out a sigh and sat down to think.
"I know you're upset about your daughter." Miroku said understandingly. "but if we can somehow get Lady Kagome back here, she can help her. Kagome is one of the few people in existance who can purify the jewel."
"Miroku is right." Sango agreed. "I'm sure it is a tainted jewel shard Naraku is using to control Maya. If Kagome can purify it, she sould be released and we can remove it."
"Alright...I understand." Hitomo sighed. "There is one way that might work."
"What is it?" Shippo asked attempting to whip away the tears that had never fallen.
"Someone must go after her. It can't be anyone though, it must be someone she's very close with." She explained.
"I nominate Inuyasha!" Sango said almost instantly, causing the hanyou's cheecks to tint pink.
"Wh-why me?" Sango seemed to get very irritated by this comment.
"What do you mean 'why me?', your the closest with her out of any of us!" Sango let out a stressful sigh. "Besides, we all know how you feel about her anyway. SO now isn't the time to deny it. She need you to help her."
"Sango's right Inuyasha." Shippo said from his shoulder. His reward for this comment was to be tossed halfway across the room. Inuyasha turned and sat cross-legged in front of Hitomo.
"OKay, what do I need to do?"
