DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha.

Chapter 13- Return

Kagome almost collasped when she reached Inuyasha. He was laying in a pool of blood. A few strands of his dark hair was stuck to his face. Kagome gently whisped them away. She fell onto her knees ,beside the motionless Inuyasha. She raised her shaking hand, and felt Inuyasha's neck for a pulse,there was none. She flipped him over, his eyes were closed and his hand still gripped the Tetsugia. Kagome had forgotten Sesshomaru, and slowly raised her head to gaze at him. Anger flared through her mind, Inuyasha was dead killed by the hand of his own brother literally. Her eyes were blazing red, as she rose facing Sesshomaru. "You...I was going to leave alone, but........you.......killed Inuyasha." Kagome didn't need to walk that far, since Sesshomaru was only a few feet away. She stared into his expressionless eyes. She grabbed his shirt around the neck, and lifted him off the ground, she threw him towards a tree. Then she turned and knelt next to Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru couldn't attack the human, he hadn't even heard her approach.He felt her sorrow for Inuyasha and the anger that was directed towards him.He was in a trance when he looked into her eyes, they were glowing red. He did not expect her to throw him,nor at the strenghth behind the throw. He landed on his feet as if nothing had happened, as the trance wore off. " You think you can daunt me, human? I, Lord Sesshomaru have no time to deal with you, if you didn't notice the swords are humming."

Kagome had not noticed that they were humming. She stared at the Tetsugia, it looked like an old battered sword,humming a sad song. Kagome lifted Inuyasha's head and craddled it around her arms as the tears began to flow freely. " Even in death,Inuyasha, you look like you are ready for battle." Kagome whispered.

Sesshomaru stared at Kagome as her silver tears streamed down her face. Falling onto Inuyasha's face. One,single tear fell onto the Tetsugia. The Tetsugia began to glow as the tear absorbed into it. He noticed Tenseiga was also glowing.' Interesting, the swords seem to be mourning,but what are they mourning?' His eyes narrowed in surprise as Tenseiga unsheathed itself and hovered over Inuyasha and Tetsugia. It started to glow an unatural healing pink color. 'What, the Tenseiga is healing Inuyasha, without my consent?'

Inuyasha had been somewhere peaceful, but there was no Kagome. He found himself walking through a forest. The trees were like none he had ever seen as he looked in awe at them. They looked like they continued into the sky endlessly. A single leaf fluttered down into his hand. The leaves were a white gold color. As Inuyasha gazed down at the leaf, he saw the forest floor for the first time. He jumped into the air as he saw that the ground consisted of all the stars in the sky and the dark bluish purple night he gazed at every night. What the....? Where am I?' " Welcome, Inuyasha." A soft, soothing voice whispered. " Who said that?" Inuyasha yelled as he reached for Tetsugia.

"You know,Inuyasha, you are very stubborn." Inuyasha swung Tetsugia around searching for the one speaking. "Show yourself." Inuyasha yelled. He heard a soft chuckle, recognizing the chuckle, he sheathed Tetsugia. " Earth, where am I now?" He grumbled. His eyes widened as the leaf in his hand blew into the air and glowed a bright golden color. Earth appeared before him, dressed in a white dress intwined with golden leaves and a golden leaf circlet on her head. Her long,white blonde hair was perfectly smooth drapped over her shoulders. " I look different, don't I?" Earth asked with a twinkle in her eye.

" We are wasting time, Inuyasha. You were killed by Sesshomaru. This was never meant to be. You see......I would rather say this to both of you, then to repeat myself. So come,Inuyasha, let me take you back into the land of the living. Kagome awaits your return. I feel her heart shattering, I tried to talk to her,but she blocked all from her mind, and now that haughty flame she has yet been able to control." Earth raised her hand to him and opened it.

" How did I get here?" Inuyasha was asking. " Inuyasha, let me explain later,we must be hasty. Take my hand,it will insure your protection during the trip." Earth said with that twinkle in her eyes again. "Fine." Inuyasha grumbled as he took her hand. It was warm and started to glow. Inuyasha felt a force trying to disconnect his contact with Earth, pulling him back, this strange force yanked at his hair and skin, yet Inuyasha gripped Earth's hand and refused to release it. 'I have to get to Kagome.' Inuyasha thought determinely.

" We are here,Inuyasha." Earth said softly. Inuyasha looked at Kagome slumped over top of his body and Sesshomaru standing near, staring at his sword that was hovering in the air. "What......how can that be me, when I am right here?" Inuyasha almost yelled as he spun around to look at Earth.

" You still don't know, Inuyasha?" Earth asked patiently.

"Know what exactly?" Inuyasha asked puzzled.

Earth sighed and said, "Inuyasha, you were killed, remember? You were in your human form and Sesshomaru killed you. You were very stupid to leave Kagome's barrier.She put that up to protect you."

Inuyasha's eyes widened for a moment as the memories returned to him.He looked at his body and saw little green creatures with yellow eyes, trying to wrap him in chains, but the Tensegia was protecting him. "What Sesshomaru's sword is protecting me? How and why?"

"Inuyasha the sun shall rise any moment, you must return to your body. Take this leaf with you, and do not let go, it will insure that you will return to the world of the living, now go, so I may speak with all of you." Earth said looking towards the sky.

That was all Inuyasha needed. He ran towards his motionless human body, gripping the leaf. ' I guess I just jump in,right?' He thought while he lunged into the air and when straight into his body as the sun was rising.
