The search for Kagome seemed endless, to Inuyasha the longer she was sought
for, the more realistic her death was becoming. This terrible, awful idea
becoming reality, felt like an arrow piercing his heart, with only a mental
wound to remind him of this possible loss.
The emotion felt as if someone had shot him first, and then churned the arrow; painfully digging it deeper into his soul, breaking his heart that should have been given to Kagome.
"Inuyasha," Miroku whispered, watching the hanyou sniffing the nearest tree desperately, and then finding him on the ground; looking for a clue as to wear someone might reveal his Kagome to him.
"What?!" Inuyasha growled at the distraction in his search.
"We've been searching for hours. Perhaps we should rest and think our plans out, before searching mindlessly." Inuyasha was off his hands and feet in a matter of seconds, showing the world his true worry and fear for this girl he thought he hated.
"WHAT!?" he exclaimed, glaring at the monk. "If you want to take a damn break, then go ahead and be a coward!" he paused his own anger, gathering the right words together before saying them; "But there is no way I'm leaving Kagome alone with a bastard like Naraku! Do you hear me!"
Miroku didn't answer, but he felt the hanyou's eyes burning into his with an incredible size of emotion.
"If you think I'm going to just stop for a break, you've got another thing coming! I care too much for that wench to allow anyone to take her away from me! You got that?!" Inuyasha continued raving on, and in the end sputtered out a truth he had never mentioned out of the comforts of his thoughts.
Noticing the sudden attention placed upon him, Inuyasha was on his hands and knees again, sniffing the soft earth. He had to find Kagome, and the sudden truth revealing whether she was still-alive.
"Kagura!" Naraku ordered, as he watched Kanna turn and turn her mirror, but with no success of a soul stolen. Kagome was actually beginning to believe Naraku's plan had failed; but wished she weren't so terribly wrong.
Kagura appeared at the doorway, and slowly entered; not a word spoken. She walked toward Kagome, with a slight menacing grin curling up her lips; her dark red eyes piercing into Kagome's, almost with silent laughter. "Do you really think my little experiment will work?" Kagura asked, her grin forming quite evenly now.
"We'll find out soon, won't we," Naraku said calmly, watching everything from a dark corner. Kagura nodded, and began to approach Kagome, who began to struggle more; her wrists beginning to bleed from the rope sliding across them with more strength and pressure.
Now, Kagura stood inches from her, and showed Kagome a purple sliver of something that resembled a very small seashell. "You won't be able to stop yourself from killing Inuyasha, even if your soul does remain."
With these words echoing deep inside her heart, Kagome began to panic; but the struggle was hopeless, because the shell was placed upon her forehead, causing her to lose control over her body completely.
No longer did she thrash around wildly for an escape. No longer did she fight to keep the pressure of the ropes off her wrists. But now she fell limp, just hanging by the ropes.
The feeling of having no movement at all terrified her; all she seemed to have and usable of her own, was her mind. She was still very easily thinking, looking through eyes that stared at the ground, and could make out shadows of Kanna coming back in front of her. Mirror in hand.
No! I've lost my body. I don't want to loose my thoughts, memory, and soul too! Kanna began to chant something, but the words were barely audible in her situation. Then, slowly, as if watching more of a nightmare finish its job; she felt a strange sensation, feeling parts of her leaving.
Her childhood memory seemed to vanish in thin air, leaving her as if she never even existed. Then, she felt something else leave her; taking more of her away. Then, her feelings and thoughts, was last. No! she fought desperately, anything but my emotions and thoughts! NO!
An eternity must have past, while Kagome dangled in her lifeless body, waiting for what's left of her soul to vanish; For her thoughts to just clear away, making her hollow and empty.
It never came; then, with her barely audible ears, she heard the sound of Kanna shaking the mirror, it wasn't working!
"Is done?" Naraku asked, still a dark shadow in the corner, when Kanna did not answer, his looming dark figure walked in front of Kagome. Gently, he placed a hand under her chin, and brought it up. She saw into his eyes, deep into his dark eyes. Although she could not use her body, her eyes were still able to stare into Naraku's self.
He stared back, only before dropped her head swiftly, where it dangled lifeless again. "Not all of her soul is gone!" he asked, but barely made it a question.
"I will get it," Kanna whispered, "She cannot fight forever."
