Chapter21
The Great Escape
Kagome crawled into the hole with the arrow she had made from the wooden stick Kuto had given her, as well as a piece of glass from the bowl she had broken. She crawled through the dirt, mud on her face and stuck in her hair, until she reached the end of the small tunnel. She took the arrow and shoved it into the dirt above her. There was a small light, and than the dirt above her fell onto her head.
"Ewww." Kagome cringed in disgust, but smiled with happiness as she saw stars above her.
She jumped out of the hole, and took off in a sprint in the same direction she had seen Inuyasha go days before, with her arrow still with her.
"Kagome," came a voice from behind her. Kagome stopped dead in her tracks, turning around slowly.
"That's right Kagome. Now, if you come home like a good little girl, I won't have to punish you as badly," Ukaran hissed.
"You... I'm never going anywhere with you again!" Kagome screamed. She held her arrow high above her head, Ukaran thinking she was going to shoot him with it, but instead, Kagome brought it down and pierced her own leg with it.
"You fool!" Ukaran yelled. Honestly, he didn't want to see Kagome hurt.
Kagome looked up at Ukaran with a smile, even though she was in pain.
"You're the fool."
She brought the Shikon no Tama down and jammed it into her leg.
"I'm going to see Inuyasha....... And no one's going to stop me..." Kagome whispered.
She turned around and took off in a sprint, ten times faster than before.
"Is she that desperate to see him!? Does she love him that much?!" Ukaran growled. He balled his hand into a fist. "I love her more."
(AN: I know Kagome's a little OOC (out of character) but if you love someone enough, you'll de anything to see them again.)
Kagome continued running until she was at the location of Tarantula's destroyed village. She stopped, panting loudly.
"I... Can't stop now or...... He'll get me...." Kagome panted. She stood up and took off again.
'I can't fool him anymore with my glowing eyes. He would soon find out that when my eyes glow, they don't mean anything...'
Kagome recalled the battle with Naraku, and how her eyes had glowed a bright blue.
'Well... they don't mean anything sometimes...'
Ukaran stood in front of Kaede's village with a smile.
'I'm waiting for you Kagome.'
Inuyasha lay in a tree, sleeping soundly. A familiar scent caught his nose, and his eyes shot open.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha jumped from the tree and took off toward the edge of the village. He sniffed the air again and growled.
"Ukaran!"
Kagome reached the village moments later, as did Inuyasha. Inuyasha stood feet away from Ukaran, who stood feet away from Kagome.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed.
"Inuyasha!" Ukaran growled.
"Ukaran!?" Inuyasha growled back.
"Ukaran?" Kagome said curiously.
"Enough with the greetings," Ukaran growled. He turned around to glare at Inuyasha. "It's time for this half – breed to die!"
"I defeated you once, and I'll do it again!" Inuyasha yelled.
Kagome aimed her arrow at Ukaran's back and threw it as hard as she could. Ukaran turned his head slightly.
"Hmm..." Ukaran jumped out of the way, but wasn't quick enough. The arrow hit his shoulder and he fell to the ground. "Wench! Argh, this is between me and the half – breed!"
"It is now!" Inuyasha jumped up in the air with his claws raised. He came back down and made an attempt to slash Ukaran, who dodged his attack with his hand over his shoulder. Inuyasha made a large crater in the ground.
"Quit running ya coward!" Inuyasha unsheathed Tetsuiga with a smirk. "Go hide somewhere Kagome, this is gonna get ugly!"
Kagome nodded and took off toward Kaede's hut.
"Sense when did Kagome get so fast...?" Inuyasha muttered, watching her run.
"Sense she embedded the Sacred Jewel into her leg!" Ukaran growled.
"Grrr! You lie! Kagome would never do something like that!"
"She would and she did! Just so she could see you again..." Ukaran and Inuyasha stared at each other for a moment until Inuyasha pointed his sword at Ukaran.
"You shall have no mercy. After everything you've done to Kagome, you shall have no mercy! Kaze no Kizuu!"
A large blast of wind went flying toward Ukaran, who had little time to try and dodge his attack. It hit him full in the chest. He should've died, but he was hanging on by just a strand of life.
"Kagome tricked my own henchmen into bringing her supplies she could use to escape my castle. Just so she could see you... She embedded the Shikon no Tama in her leg... Just to see you... She spent eleven days in my castle. Four days unconscious, seven digging through mud and dirt, just so she could see you..." Ukaran grasped his haori and looked at Inuyasha. "I wish I had someone who loved me like that..."
After saying those words, Ukaran fell to the ground, his body descentegrating. Inuyasha stared at the place Ukaran once was, than sheathed his Tetsuiga.
"Kagome.... Did all that for me...?" Inuyasha whispered.
"Yes, I did."
Inuyasha turned around and saw Kagome standing behind him.
"Kagome..."
"Inuyasha... I've missed you so much..." Kagome slowly walked toward Inuyasha until they were close enough to touch. Kagome stared into his golden orbs on the verge of tears.
"Kagome," Inuyasha whispered.
Kagome leaned into Inuyasha and hugged him tightly. Tears rolled down her cheeks and she sobbed quietly.
"Inuyasha. I thought you were dead! I didn't know what I was going to do. I was so scared. Please, don't ever scare me like that again. Please," Kagome sobbed.
Inuyasha just stood there with his arms around Kagome.
"I promise... Now, let's go tell the others you're back."
"No... Just... Hold me in your arms for a little bit longer..."
Inuyasha paused, but than smiled.
"Okay."
Miroku and the others all sat in Kaede's hut with saddened looks on their faces. Sango sat beside Kohaku with tears forming in her eyes.
'Please little brother... Open your eyes. I'm afraid that I've already lost Kagome... Please don't let me loose you either...' Sango thought sadly.
Sango shook her head and stood up slowly.
"Where are you going Sango?" Shippo asked.
"Just.... I'm just going out," Sango whispered. Everyone turned to watch her leave until they heard a small grunting sound come from Kohaku.
"Hmmm?"
Sango immediately turned around and stared at Kohaku.
"Brother...?"
Kohaku's eye lids slowly opened to reveal two dark brown eyes. He blinked twice before saying, "Sango?"
"Kohaku!"
Sango ran over to her brother and wrapped her arms around him tightly. Tears of joy streamed down her face.
"Kohaku! I can't believe it's really you dear brother!" Sango cried.
"Sister! I can't believe it's you either!"
Kaede smiled, as did Shippo and Miroku.
"I think we should leave these two alone," Kaede stated, getting up slowly and heading toward the door.
"Right."
Miroku stood up and Shippo jumped on his shoulder, while Kirara rubbed against Kohaku and purred. Before exiting the hut, Miroku turned around and stared at Sango.
'I'm happy for you Sango, I really am.'
YAY! All the evil is gone and Kohaku is back to normal! I can't wait to write the sequel! Well, next chapter, Kagome and Inuyasha, than Sango, Miroku, Kohaku and Kirara, than Shippo and Kaede, than everybody! Everybody dance! Lol.
