Getting the Curse Once Again
-Chapter 4-
Time Travel
"This is just GREAT!!" Inuyasha punched the table in the middle of the living room, causing it to break into two pieces and let the little pieces of wood fall to the floor. He was really angry, not just because Naraku is back, because of having this curse again. And this time, there's more chances of him dying. That's not going to make Kagome happy at all. Just when he wanted to propose to her today! Or maybe tomorrow!
"Inuyasha, calm down!" Said Kagome.
"How can I calm down when that bastard has come back to life!? I thought we killed him a year ago!!"
"Inuyasha! You're yelling at poor Kagome!!" Said Miroku.
"I'm not yelling!! I'm SHOUTING!!"
"Isn't that the same?" Asked Shippo.
"SHUT UP!!" He went to the wall and punched that too, creating a hole in it. But Kagome didn't care because of what Inuyasha is feeling right now. He's really angry and he doesn't know what to do at all. Inuyasha pulled his arm out of the wall and faced Miroku. "Miroku! Let's go!!"
"Go where?" Asked Miroku.
"You'll see! Just come with me!!" He grabbed Miroku's arm and pulled him out of the house. He's just angry enough to do something stupid enough to probably get him trouble.
(On top of a building)
On top of a building, a guy with black braided, a purple cross on his forehead, a sword called Banryuu, and blue eyes was looking down on the city. He was smiling to himself when he feels the power of the Shikon no Tama near by. He can't wait until the Shikon no Tama is in his hands and do the thing he wants to do. Not to give it to Naraku, he doesn't want to give it to him; he wants to revive more people.
"The Shikon no Tama is coming ever closer....it'll soon be mine!!" Said Bankotsu.
(In the city)
"Are you sure you wanna do this right now?" Asked Miroku. They were just looking at a couple of rings.
"Yes, I wanna ask her now before I die. It'll at least make me and her happy!" Answered Inuyasha.
"But do I really have to pay for it? I'm on a tight budget!"
"The last thing I want to do before I die is to marry Kagome!! You heard Naraku! I have more chances of dying then you! And now you have the Wind Tunnel back so there!"
"Yeah, I somehow had a feeling he would be back so I kept the prayer beads on just in case."
"Smart thinking, but I'm not. I can't do anything to defend myself against the curse."
"We'll take this one!" Miroku told the salesperson what they want to buy. And they have paid for it. But now the question is, will it fit her finger?
(Kagome's house.)
Sango and Shippo went outside in the backyard to maybe do a little bit of some training with Kirara. Kagome was inside thinking about Inuyasha. She can't believe Inuyasha has the curse again, the one he never told her when he first met her. Why Naraku did come back? Didn't they finish him off a year ago? Actually, Inuyasha finish him off but how did he come back?
Why Inuyasha...?
"Why not let me get the curse instead?" Said Kagome.
But that's when she heard a knock on the door. That's strange, the only people who knock on the door is Miroku and Sango. Does it matter? She got up, and walked to door. She wasn't really thinking. So she just opened the door, she saw a guy with long black braided hair with a purple cross on his forehead. And a sword with him...
"Are you the one who fought against Naraku a year ago?" Asked the Man.
"Well, I helped defeated him," answered Kagome.
"With what?"
"The Shikon no Tama, why?"
All of a sudden, his hand grasp her neck, gripping it hard. Kagome put her hands on his wrists to try and pull them away from her neck, but he had a strong grip on her neck she almost couldn't breathe! What was this guy doing? Trying to rape her or something?
"Listen, I have been revived and I need something to revive something else. So I need the Shikon no Tama from you! Where is it!?"
"I'm-not-telling you!"
He gripped her neck more. "You either tell me or die!"
"N-No!"
"Fine, I'll get it myself!" He took his hand and put it on her chest, between her breasts, and it went inside. Kagome felt his hand going inside her chest. She felt his fingers grabbing something inside of her chest, and was taken out. She saw the Shikon no Tama out of her body. The man let go of her neck and she fell backwards.
"KAGOME!!" The man looked in front of him and saw Sango and Shippo with angry faces.
"Well, well! There is some people here after all. Well, you're too late now, because now I got her soul and the Shikon no Tama!" Said the Man.
"Put it back in her body now!!!" Said Shippo.
"Or die young, scumbag!!" Said Sango.
"Sorry, I need this," said the man.
"KAGOME!!"
The man turned around and saw Inuyasha and Miroku at the door. Inuyasha has a shocked expression, but then his expression turned to rage. Miroku's face was already like that.
"YOU BASTARD!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO KAGOME!?" Asked Inuyasha.
"I only took the Shikon no Tama out of her body," answered the man with a smile.
"Idiot! That's her soul!!!"
"I know, that's why I took it out. Now if you'll excuse me, I have somewhere to go. To the well if you want to watch!" He swung his sword and Inuyasha for him to get out of the way, that's when the guy ran out of the house. Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara followed him.
"What happened?" Inuyasha saw Mrs. Higurashi shocked to see Kagome on the floor.
"Mrs. H! Look after Kagome for me. We have some unfinished business to attend to. There might be a chance for us to go back in time!" Said Inuyasha.
"What do you mean by that?"
"As to defeat Naraku! So take care of Kagome!" He turned to the door and ran out of the house. He stopped before he went any further. Where did he went? He calmed down for a minute and tried to sniff for the other's instead. He can tell all of them are in one place. But where...?
"AAH!!"
He heard Miroku's voice. What was happening? He sniffed the scent and it was coming from the well house. He ran to it and break down the sliding doors. He saw the man standing right in front of the well, and the others in front of himself. He saw Miroku kneeling down, holding onto his hand. Inuyasha felt cold and some darkness coming from it.
"What happened?" Asked Inuyasha.
"Miroku got the Kazaana again!" Said Shippo.
"What!?"
"And it's thanks to Naraku..." said the man.
They all looked at him. "Who are you!?" Asked Sango.
"Bankotsu....leader of the Shichinin-tai. You must be the Inu gang Naraku told me about," said Bankotsu.
"What are you going to do with the Shikon no Tama!?" Asked Inuyasha.
"It's very simple. I'm going to use this to revive the rest of my crew. The seven of us will reunite and destroy all life. Thanks to Naraku, I'm revived and I won't give him the Shikon no Tama, it's mine now." Bankotsu lifted his hand above the well, which the Shikon no Tama is in. "Once I drop this in the well, it'll give life into the ground, bringing back six of my brothers. I hope you enjoy the show, cause you won't live that long..." He dropped the Shikon no Tama in the well, the others watched it disappeared into the well. "In a few minutes, they will be revived. So if I were you, I would start praying now."
"You bastard! I'LL KILL YOU!!!" Shouted Inuyasha.
(Dark place...)
Deep down inside the well, is a dark place with a little pink, round object. It started to glow in its bright pink form, filling the well with a little light at the bottom. But it wasn't doing anything. It was calling someone...calling to come to the well. But for what? Wasn't it supposed to revive someone? Is this part of Bankotsu's plan? Whatever it is...it's not pretty as it starts to glow a little lighter.
(Back at the house)
Kagome was laying on the couch with a blanket over her and not breathing, Mrs. Higurashi, Grandpa and Souta was really getting worried. They have no idea what to do, Mrs. Higurashi was crying and Grandpa was trying to comfort her. Souta was squeezing Kagome's hand really hard, trying to hurt her so she can wake up and get mad at him. But nothing.
But deep in Kagome's mind, she can hear something...but what? Some kind of sound is in her mind. Sounds like something beating...a heart beat? She heard the beating a little clear each time she tries to concentrate. She heard the heart beat echoing in her body, all over her body. Something is calling her...what should she do? Wake up and leave? All she hears is something calling for her. She doesn't hear anything else.
Souta was watching her older sister rest there for a minute, until he saw something that surprised him. Kagome's eyes shot open wide, Souta gasped when he saw that.
"Mom! Kagome is awake!!" Said Souta.
Mrs. Higurashi stopped crying and looked at Kagome, but something wasn't right. Kagome sat up slowly, she slowly removed the blanket from her and stood up, only her feet weren't touching the ground. They couldn't believe what was happening. Kagome's body slowly floats to the door and out the door. What is going on here?
(Back at the well house)
"What they heck are you two doing here anyway!?" Asked Inuyasha. Koga and Sesshomaru just came into the action. Jaken was by Sesshomaru's side, with a little girl. Koga was standing with his arms crossed, looking angrily at Inuyasha for yelling at him when he just came.
"I'm here because I smelled Naraku near by!!" Said Koga.
"Same here..." said Sesshomaru.
Inuyasha was too busy growling at them instead of being angry at Bankotsu. He heard Bankotsu laughed and he turned to face him. He growled even more at him.
"What's so funny!?" Asked Inuyasha.
"Naraku and Kanna are here..." He pointed up, and they looked. They saw a mirror floating above them. Kirara, who was on Sango's shoulder, was growling and hissing at the mirror. They all saw two body figures in there...they could tell it was Naraku and Kanna. "You should prepare for the worse now...Heh-Heh....huh?" They also turned and saw someone at the entrance of the well house.
"K-Kagome..." whispered Inuyasha. Kagome wasn't herself. She didn't had those white pupils (whatever you call them), they can't see her breathing. She slowly floated past Sesshomaru and Koga and then past Inuyasha. Then she past Miroku, Sango, Shippo and stopped next to Bankotsu. She just stared blankly at the well. It was like she was waiting for something to come out of it.
"[Strange...the Shikon no Tama should've revived the others right about now...what is going on?]" Said Bankotsu. He looked at Kagome and noticed a little pink aura surrounding her body. "[Maybe the girl has something to do with it...]"
"Hey, do you see that!?" Asked Shippo.
"Yeah, what's that pink aura doing around her..." said Sango.
"I think the Shikon no Tama is calling her..." said Miroku weakly.
"What do you mean?" Asked Inuyasha.
"The Shikon no Tama is also her soul, if it stays out of the body too long....it rots and then Kagome dies...so it's calling her before it's too late..." Miroku looked at Kagome, seeing the aura getting stronger and bigger. "Look..."
They all looked at Kagome and saw the Shikon no Tama floating out of the well, going above everybody. "What the hell is going on here!?" Said Bankotsu.
"I thought you knew!!" Said Inuyasha.
"No! It wasn't suppose to happen this way!!"
"Inuyasha-sama!" Inuyasha looked at his shoulder and saw Myoga. He kept hoping up and down.
"Myoga! Do you know what's happening here!?" Asked Inuyasha.
"I don't know anything! But I can tell you this, Kagome is not doing all of this, the Shikon no Tama is doing it itself. Kagome is just helping the Shikon no Tama with her miko powers."
"So what's going to happen?"
"That is something I can't answer..."
"I have a feeling that Kagome-sama is losing some of her life energy..." said Miroku.
"Huh?" Inuyasha was very confused.
"Kagome-sama's body doesn't have a soul, so she's getting close to death."
Kagome's body started to float more above the ground, her feet were above the well, the Shikon no Tama floated to her chest, but not going in it. Her body turned around to face everybody, the Shikon no Tama right in front of her chest. Bankotsu was watching with wide open eyes. He had no idea this would happen. It was suppose to revive his brothers.
Kagome lifted her hands around the Shikon no Tama, just like a fortune teller would do the same around the crystal ball. The aura around her now was getting bigger and stronger, so was the Shikon no Tama.
"Inochi...." Whispered Kagome. (Which means life not memories. I'm Japanese.) "Youkai...hanyou....human...wars..." Kagome closed her eyes, as the well house started to change a little.
"Kagome! Stop it right now; you're going to die if you keep this up!" Said Inuyasha.
"Uruse...hanyou..." (Uruse means shut up...) Kagome's hair started to float, spread apart.
"What's happening!?" Asked Shippo.
"Don't ask me!!" Said Inuyasha.
Then, a burst of light came out of the well. This blinded everybody in the room except for Kagome. After that, the area around them started to turn blue. The ground started to disappeared, and their foot slipped and they all started to fall, same thing with Kagome. Except that the Shikon no Tama is still right in front of her chest. What's going to happen next? Where are they falling to? Sesshomaru, Koga, Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, Myoga, Bankotsu, Naraku, Kanna and Kagome will get that answer soon...
