Chapter 3 – Reversal and a Favor
Kagome clenched her fists over her face in defense until she felt herself moving. She removed her hands from her face to see...a half demon! Kagome still had a little bit of fear rush through her and the half demon noticed this and set her down. "Kagome it's me...Inu-Yasha!" He yelled. Kagome began to slowly lose consciousness. Once Kagome blacked out she noticed that no one was there. She was all alone...and freezing. Why was she like this? That was then when she saw a light. (A/N: Oh no the light at the end of the tunnel!) Kagome began to approach it and she was getting warmer. A bright smile began to creep across her face but then vanished...something didn't feel right.
-Meanwhile-
"Kagome? Kagome!?" Inu-Yasha shouted. "Why won't you wake up?" He asked but was answered by silence. "I don't want to lose you!" Inu-Yasha finally yelled as a tear gently rolled down. He then heard something. Inu-Yasha turned around and there she was. "Ki...kyo..." Inu-Yasha slowly said.
"I can help you." Kikyou began before Inu-Yasha interrupted.
"I don't want your help!" Inu-Yasha yelled at her coldly.
"But if you don't then the girl will be in Naraku's grasp!" Kikyou yelled almost in tears. Inu-Yasha was a little shocked at that statement but then he trusted her. He nodded and Kikyou approached the small, motionless body that Inu-Yasha held. Kikyou closed her eyes and focused all of her miko energy and that's when Kagome turned back to her normal self.
-Meanwhile-
Kagome continued to slowly approach the light until she sensed something. Kagome slowly turned her head to see...
-Meanwhile-
"That wench!" Naraku yelled watching Kikyou turn Kagome back. "She's ruining everything!"
"What about the light?" Kanna asked showing Naraku what was happening in Kagome's unconscious state of mind.
"Yes...if the girl chooses to go into the light then her soul is mine!" Naraku yelled and began to laugh maniacally.
-Meanwhile-
Kikyou finished but Kagome was still unconscious. "I thought you said that you'd help her!" Inu-Yasha yelled.
"I did but...her soul must decide where it wants to go..." Kikyou started, "but now that I have helped my reincarnation I have a favor to ask of you."
"What do you want?" Inu-Yasha asked sounding unusually calm.
"Destroy this body of grave soil and bone!" Kikyou seemed to have more commanded than asked.
"W-what?" Inu-Yasha responded a little bit shocked.
"Please Inu-Yasha! I no longer wish to live a life forced back from death. I was to always remain in the death that I never wished to leave," Kikyou at that moment fell to her knees and broke into tears. Inu-Yasha was hesitant at first to fulfill Kikyou's wishes but then he did and he attacked her using the windscar. Inu-Yasha stabbed his sword into the ground, wondering why he did that. That kept on going through his mind, searching for an answer, until he noticed Kagome tossing and turning.
"Kagome?!" Inu-Yasha said in a slight whisper.
-Meanwhile-
Kagome still couldn't decide which way to go. Into the light or into the older version of herself. She was about to go crazy until she saw a light at the corner of her eye. It looked like a miko wearing red and white. She had long, silky black hair. She just stood there and looked at Kagome sweetly. "Who are you?" Kagome asked.
"I am Kikyou...and you need to go back to Inu-Yasha." The miko told the child.
"The half demon?" Kagome asked.
"Yes...he needs you."
"But I'm a ..."
"He doesn't care if you're a half demon!"
"No! It's not that! I'm a full fledge demon!" Kagome cried out.
"Then why are you a half demon?" Kikyou asked the girl confused.
"Because I have this curse on me that makes me a half-breed during the night and a full demon during the day time." Kagome explained and started to cry. Kikyou went over to the currently crying girl and hugged her.
"It doesn't matter...just go back to Inu-Yasha. He loves you..." was the last that Kikyou said and disappeared. Kagome then knew where to go and went into her body.
-Meanwhile-
Inu-Yasha held Kagome close hoping that she wouldn't leave him. Finally after a couple of minutes she woke up and blushed a deep red. Kagome didn't expect waking up with Inu-Yasha being that close to her. "Uh...Inu-Yasha?" Kagome asked but didn't answer or move. Kagome continuously said his name until she noticed that he was asleep. Kagome's eyes at that moment began to water...she really thought that he didn't care. Inu-Yasha woke up and looked down. He smelt her tears and wondered why she was crying.
He hugged her tighter which surprised her and asked, "what's wrong?" He had that soft, sad, caring look that she couldn't resist. Kagome just buried her head in his chest and sobbed harder.
"I'm sorry Inu-Yasha." Her statement of course confused him.
"What?"
She was still sobbing, "I'm sorry that I never told you the truth." Inu-Yasha didn't care about that anymore he just didn't want to see her this way. So that was it! He couldn't take it so he decided to do the first thing he could think of to make her stop. That was when he did the unthinkable and gently pressed his lips against hers. Kagome was shocked by the action but didn't pull away. It lasted for what seemed like a lifetime until Inu-Yasha caught a whiff of Naraku's scent.
Inu-Yasha broke away and said, "Naraku." The two of them turned their heads to face him.
