Chapter 7: In Your Arms Again At Last
Inuyasha walked into the plains, not knowing which direction to go when he heard, sniffling over to the left of him, he walked that way. Walking over top of a hill, he saw the village where everyone stayed, only a cold gray version. He also noticed how the village was entirely empty. Instead of lush, green fields, there was mud everywhere, the lakes and crops were dried out. The houses were rotting off their frames and there were no animals anywhere.
He came upon Kaede's home and when he looked inside his heart jumped. Inside was his precious Kagome. "Kagome!!!" He ran inside and held onto her like he would never let her go. She shoved him off of her. "I don't know you, leave me alone!!!" "Kagome," Inuyasha said, "please it's me Inuyasha, I came to bring you back home."
"I don't have a home. Nobody wants me. I'm happy alone here, no more pain, no more crying. Though I wonder where everyone is. But maybe it's better that I'm alone, no can break my heart. It's so dark and I get scared sometimes, sometimes, I remember someone, always there for me, but he's gone now."
As Inuyasha heard this, he felt his entire chest clench up in guilt. "Kagome, I'm sorry. I'll never hurt you like I did again. Please just remember and come home!!!" "I sorry, I can't, this is where I belong now. And why do you keep apologizing!!!! I don't know you and I don't know what home you're talking about. Now just leave me alone!!!!", Kagome yelled back at him. She proceeded to get up and walk off. As Inuyasha got up to grab Kagome again, Midori appeared in front of him. "Inuyasha the gate is closing, this is your last chance to return to the surface world!!!!"
Inuyasha looked at Kagome's retreating figure. He shook his head, "I can't Midori, I can't leave her here alone. Even if she never remembers me, I'll stay here with her and watch over her. Tell Sango, Mroku, and Shippo I'm sorry." He ran off to catch Kagome. Midori shook her head and left, feeling sorry for the Inuyasha and Kagome. Inuyasha caught up to Kagome and hugged her from behind. "Even if you never remember, I'll always be by your side. I'll stay here, just don't leave me again. Just don't leave me alone again. I never wanted to hurt you, you don't know how many times I just wanted to take you in my arms and hold you. I watched you sleep, wishing I could be by your side and hold you. I wanted to protect in your sleep. Just let me stay here with you, please. I read your song, I wish I could have told how I felt before all of this. I figured you would never want me like this. A weak half-demon like me...you deserve better. I knew with me, you'd always be running, something would always be after you, because of me. And I knew you would grow to hate me because of it. Enough people have been hurt because of me. Everyone's pain is connected to me. If it hadn't been for me falling for Kikyo all those years ago, Naraku, never would have been created. Sango would have her family. Miroku wouldn't have a hole in his hand. It's all because of me.
Kagome felt a slide down her cheek and as she heard Inuyasha's words, her life came flooding back to her. All her memories of home and family, but most of all, how much she loved Inuyasha. She whirled around and faced Inuyasha, "It's not your fault Inuyasha, you had no control over fate. And I could never hate you. I love you too much. Don't ever feel that way again."
Inuyasha looked at Kagome and held for what seemed like and eternity. "Inuyasha, Kagome asked, where are we?" What happened after Kikyo's arrow struck me? Inuyasha told her everything that had happened, including how they were now stuck there.
Okay okay, maybe a tad Ooc, but I'm sure that's what Inuyasha would say If it came down it it!!!! Can't we just have a romantic scene!!! Full of love!!!! Is that so much!!! Ok, I'm through, enjoy the rest!!!
