Kagura and Kanna had just finished rebuilding the castle. Now they were setting up the materials needed for Naraku's come back to the living world. (You know, like how Kikyo was resurrected? ...Well less of the clay part)
As they finished, they stepped back and waited for the magical herbs to brew.
"We are almost ready Master" Kagura and Kanna said. (In unison)
Inuyasha and Kagome
Kagome had stopped crying a while ago and they were all back in the hut eating ramen.
Everyone had kept quiet because of the previous events. But Shippo decided to end the silence. "So, why were you leaving us again Kagome?" Shippo asked putting his bowl down to look at Kagome.
"Uhh...I just thought that it would be better that I left now that you guys have completed the jewel and defeated Naraku." Kagome said on the verge of tears again.
"Umm...Kagome? Will you see me outside please?" Inuyasha said cutting off whatever Shippo was about to say.
Kagome said yes and they trudged outside the hut to "talk". Once they went far enough into the forest, Inuyasha pulled Kagome closer to him and asked the question that had been lingering and bothering him the most.
At Naraku's New Castle
"We are finally ready for your revival Lord Naraku." Kagura and Kanna said.
They both dropped a piece of the last herb and a huge gust of smoke covered the new castle. A figure began to appear in the cauldron.
"Lord Naraku, we greet you back to the living world."
The figure stepped out of the cauldron (fully clothed for you perverted minds!).
"Haha...thank you both. I assume that Inuyasha is still living and is awaiting his defeat?" Naraku said in his new but still pure evil voice.
Inuyasha and Kagome
"Why do you really want to leave Kagome?" Inuyasha asked her with such concern.
"Why do you care Inuyasha? Once I'm gone, there won't be anyone who you need to worry about or to be concerned about, isn't that right?" Kagome said, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"I already told you Kagome.... I love you." Inuyasha said.
"Wha..." Kagome said startled by what he said.
Inuyasha gasped at what he said. 'Oh CRAP! That was in my dream! Oh well...I guess I would've told her anyway' "uhhh...yea. I love you."
"Inuyasha..." Kagome started, wanting nothing more than to run into him arms and tell him that she loved him too...but she couldn't, if she did, then that would just mean more times of sadness because he 'accidentally' ran into Kikyo. 'No, I can't... I can't bear to...to...to see them together after we've confessed like this! I would never forgive him...and then we would hate each other. I can't. It's probably not even true. That's why I need to leave...'
"No, Inuyasha...I cant." Kagome started, now letting her tears roll down her flushed cheeks. "I do love you...but I can't stand to stay here...I wish it were possible, but under the circumstances with Kikyo...I don't know if I could keep myself from committing suicide..." Kagome said with a weak smile. She knew it was true too, if she did see Inuyasha with her, who would know what she'd do to herself.
"Kagome..."
"Umm...if you don't mind right now...I'd like to be alone." Kagome said while turning her back to our favorite hanyou, walking to her beloved sacred tree...the place where they first met.
'Inuyasha, it's been almost a year since I've met you...and since then, we've gotten so much done together over the time.' Kagome smiled as she recalled some of her favorite memories. 'Like the first time I saw you fight with your older brother, Sesshomaru. You told me to shut up and let you protect me...' Kagome smiled at the memory. 'Or the times when we first met Shippo, Sango, and Miroku...' Kagome sat down on one of the logs on the cold forest floor. 'And there's always the time when Kikyo was reborn, and the times when you snuck behind my back to see her ya know...those will always be there to rot in my mind...'
Kagome sighed at the many thoughts going through her head. Sure there was many good times she had spent here in feudal Japan, but as always, there will always be the time when she would recall the time when Inuyasha went to see Kikyo.
"She's always in his mind...unlike me, I'm only a copy to be tossed around and damaged while Inuyasha enjoys the original."
She looked up at the dark, navy blue sky... 'Inuyasha will be turning human soon, I better get back to the hut before he gets worried.'
Kagome got up and walked back to the hut mopping about her new thoughts... 'Oh how I will miss you all...I will promise though, that I will come back to see you all... you can bet on it.' Kagome smiled at the thought that she would see her friends again, after she departed. It was something to look forward to.
Kagome walked into the hut with a smile plastered onto her face. Every one looked up to welcome her back from her "walk".
To her surprise, Inuyasha had already transformed into his human form. 'Damn, human bodies are so weak, and they give me too many human emotions to deal with...and I don't need them...especially right now.' Inuyasha thought as he saw Kagome walk into the room.
Kikyo, who had been brought back to the living world once again, had been watching Kagome's every move. Everyone knew of Kikyo's revival a couple days after Naraku's final battle. (I'm sorry for making all the old bad guys coming back to life!) Something about her wanting to take Inuyasha to hell with her caught their attention.
'Inuyasha is starting to develop feelings for my reincarnation...I'll just have to change that.' Kikyo thought... 'If I kill her, Inuyasha will Want to come with me because he'd want to forget about her and all his memories...' and with that in her mind, an evil grin crept its way onto her pale face.
