Reliving the Past

Chapter Seven

Kagome's head ached as the world around her spun. She felt something deep within her heart disappearing. She screamed in hopes to make it stop. She didn't want to lose it. It was important to her and she refused to lose. Then everything disappeared. She was in a dark place. She was surrounded by nothingness. The very nothingness she was scared of. She was just there. No purpose nothing. She heard a snicker and whirled around. Her eyes widened in fear. It was him. He was back. His red eyes glowed in sheer malice. He stepped closer and she released her miko energy. He was shot back but only just. He turned around. "You are still as weak as you were then, Kagome. There is no use in trying to fight me back." He let out a laugh. When he turned once more he was out for blood, her blood. As he neared her she screamed.

With Inuyasha and Kouga

They watched helplessly as Kagome writhed around in pain. Kouga became alarmed but knew nothing of the situation. Inuyasha on the other hand was implied to study about mikos for his studies. Someone was trying to enter Kagome's mind and she wasn't allowing it. She was strong enough to hold up, but the question was for how long? He begged Kagome just this once. As an inu hanyou he should be able to almost gain contact with Kagome. She would have to allow him in from that point. He held her hand and ignored the FILTH'S protest. 'Please Kagome let me in. Let me help you.' Suddenly he felt like his heart was being tugged somewhere. Everything around him went black. 'I'm in. Don't worry Kagome I'll get you!' Poor Kouga was left outside with two unconscious bodies.

Inside of Kagome's Soul/Mind

Inuyasha walked through what seemed to be Kagome's memories. He stared at them oddly. 'These pictures, they are fading away...' He stopped abruptly when he saw the sight of the fifteen year old Kagome. She was upstairs in her room. He gasped. 'T-this is the day w-when Kagome's family and kingdom were destroyed!' Inuyasha watched helplessly as he watched Kagome run up to her room. She had been having an awful day. The fact that there been a breakout in the kingdom didn't help much either. Inuyasha watched Kagome as she began to right in her diary. He looked at her. She seemed so sad. She was writing something. He moved around to get a better look.

Dear Diary,

It has been awful lately. Mother and Grandpa have received word that there has been an invasion. That is just one of the awful things that happened. Today Kouga kept insisting to 'help' me around. I feel sorry for him. I love him...

Inuyasha's blood began to boil at this. He was so caught up that he didn't read the next sentence. After he cooled off he continued.

...I just don't know how to tell him. He doesn't know that my heart belongs to someone else.

'She likes someone else?' Inuyasha's heart sank. 'She loves someone else...' He continued reading though. He was really surprised when he found his name in there. He looked closer to the book.

...I miss Inuyasha so much. I don't think he will ever know. I...

Inuyasha's eyes widened. 'What was she going to say?' Kagome stopped writing and looked down at her diary. Suddenly, screams and several thuds could be heard in the doorway. She dropped the diary and ran downstairs. Inuyasha's mind raced. 'No...' He raced downstairs and was disgusted by the sight before him. There before him, was Kagome's family slaughtered on the floor. He saw Kagome freeze. She was about to scream when a youkai grabbed her. Inuyasha's blood boiled as he dashed over there to attack the offender. He went right through it though. 'Damn it! This is just a memory!' He watched helplessly as Kagome was beat and thrown into a cage. He turned and saw two red eyes glaring back at him. He growled at the thing. However it was of course useless. 'Damn I have to find the real Kagome.' He dashed off through the fading memories.

He ran for what seemed like hours. 'This isn't getting me anywhere!' He closed his eyes. Tears were threatening to fall. 'Please, Kagome give me some hint of where you are.' As he thought this a lone tear fell. Then he felt a light hand wipe the tear away. He looked down to see a young girl. She looked so familiar. Then it hit him. He gasped. 'It's Kagome!' She looked like this when she very first met him. Except this girl seemed to have fear in her eyes as if running from something. The young girl tilted her head to the side.

"Why are you crying?"

"I-I can't find someone very important to me."

"I can help you find them. What does this person look like?"

"She has long black hair and has brown eyes and she is very kind."

"I saw a girl over there like that. She was crying and a bad man was doing something to her. She kept screaming and crying out the name Inuyasha. I got scared so I ran to find some help and I found you. Please help her."

"Can you lead me to her?"

The young girl nodded and began to run through the darkness. Inuyasha followed her. Soon the girl began to slowly disappear. Inuyasha panicked, this girl was the only lead he had to Kagome. "Hurry she is over there!" With that she began to disappear. Inuyasha left in the direction that the girl had pointed in. There he could here torturous screams and the smell of blood. When he arrived he stared in complete horror and disgust.

Kagome was lying on a bed, naked and bloody. Her hands were shackled. She had bruises and cuts all over her body. Blood was steadily flowing out from her wounds. She was screaming. There was a man nearby her also naked. He had glowing red eyes. "INUYASHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The man chuckled. "No one is here to save you now my dear. Inside here no one will save you like last time. I will finish what I started now." Inuyasha gasped. 'She was almost raped??? Is this a memory? Or the place of a memory? Well it doesn't matter because I will kill him anyways!' As the man was about to take Kagome Inuyasha dashed through.

The man turned his eyes glowing darker now. Apparently he was either a youkai or hanyou. "HOW DARE YOU INTERFERE!!!!!!" He shot out a tentacle to Inuyasha. Inuyasha grabbed his father's sword. 'Well, it's now or never...' He grabbed the hilt of the sword. The man ran towards him. 'Kagome no matter what happens you will be okay!' He whirled the Tetsusaiga out of its sheath. "TESTSUSAIGA!!!!!" Suddenly the man was blown to pieces. If it had not been the situation that it was Inuyasha would have stared at his sword all day long wondering what had just happened.

His attention immediately turned to the girl lying on the bed. She was beginning to cough out blood. He rushed over to her. "Kagome don't you die on me!" She gave a soft smile. "Inuyasha it's okay." However the look on her face gave her all away. Inuyasha could feel his tears beginning to pour. She wiped his tears away. "Inuyasha why are you so sad?" Inuyasha looked at her in disbelief. "We will see each other again you know. Just promise me this Inuyasha. Promise me that you will NOT forget about the times that we shared. If anything happens you must teach me once again. Please promise me that Inuyasha. Please?" Inuyasha nodded. "I promise." Kagome smiled at him. Then she left.

The moment she left the place around him began to dissolve. When all had melted away all it left was a heartbroken hanyou, a dead Kagome, and a sleeping Kouga. Inuyasha stared at Kagome's now lifeless body. 'No this can't be it can't. It isn't true.' Out of sheer depression he grabbed Kagome's body and held her close against him. Tears flowed from his eyes like rivers. Then he noticed something about Kagome's body. He gasped. 'No, how could this be? That's.........impossible...'
