Chapter 26

Kagome woke up the next morning naked and Inu-yasha not there. She started to freak a little but stopped when Inu-yasha entered the room.

"Finally you're awake" he said sighing in relief. "I thought you would slip into a never waking sleep" he joked. Kagome sat up and hit him in the back of the head shaking her head. He chuckled a bit and threw Kagome some clothes. Kagome got dressed and sat beside Inu-yasha.

"What's up Inu?" she asked. He looked at her and said "Don't freak out on me when I tell you this alright?" Kagome just nodded. "Well some of the doctors here checked you and we got the results. Naraku has put some sort of spell on you and we have the antidote but it won't work unless you are willing to take it" he looked at a shocked Kagome. It looked like she would burst into tears. Inu-yasha took her hand and pulled her into his lap, cradling her and caressing her soft flesh. "I will take the antidote as long as the stupid spell will go away" she said through tears. He looked at her and smiled a little. He gave her a purple bottle. She looked into his eyes and drank it.

Her world became dizzy and she fainted. Inu-yasha smiled and turned into Naraku. "That was too easy" he said. Naraku looked at the unconscious Kagome on the bed. He laughed a high pitched cruel laugh. He turned back into Inu-yasha and picked up Kagome. He carried her into the hall and told Elder Manno she had died.

Elder Manno shook his head not believing what "Inu-yasha" told him. He picked up Kagome and they did a ceremony.

The real Inu-yasha was at Kaeda's village helping them out with a demon problem. "Kaeda are you sure there is a demon round here?" Kaeda nodded. Kaeda looked around trying to find the demon when Kagura came up. "That's it" Kaeda yelled.

"Kagura" Inu-yasha growled but Kagura stood there and laughed. "Inu-yasha did you think that, that was Kaeda?" Kagura asked a confused Hanyou. He looks over at where Kaeda was standing but in her place was Kanna. "What have you done with Kaeda?" he said through gritted teeth. "The question really is what we did to Kagome" Kagura laughed as Inu-yasha came to realization that it was all a trap. "Crap" he whispered and ran off towards Kagome's pack.

Inu-yasha made it to the pack and went up to Manno. "What happened to Kagome?" he asked. Elder Manno looked confused at him. "You know what happened" he spat. Inu-yasha looked at him then realized 'someone must have disguised themselves and made them look like me' "Elder Manno this is all just a misunderstanding. Naraku disguised himself as me" Elder Manno thought on it for a little while then looked up at him and said "No wonder it didn't seem like you" Then he looked down at his feet.

"What happened to Kagome?" Inu-yasha asked. Manno looked at Inu-yasha and pointed at a grave stone. Inu-yasha looked at it and saw Kagome imprinted on it. He fell to his knees and shook his head. He wasn't willing to believe it. 'No, Kagome don't leave me' he thought desperately.

Kagome woke up and found herself in a coffin. "What is going on?" she asked herself. Then she remembered Inu-yasha had given her a potion but before she passed out she heard Naraku's voice. "Great, now I have to dig my way out of here" she said, hear the sarcasm. "Might as well start now" and she opened the coffin with difficulty and started digging her way out.

Her hand made it to the top and she pulled herself out. Once her head was out she gasped for air. She looked around and pulled the rest of herself out.

Once out Kagome crawled over to a tree and fell asleep.

Dream

Kagome was walking in a fancy mansion. She looked around and saw Glory. Glory looked like she was preparing for a battle for her life. "I know who the key is and I will destroy it" Glory said to her army of Hobbit thingies. Kagome looked around and saw millions, no, billions of them. She looked back at Glory. "Kagome is going down and I am making sure she will die. Not like Naraku"

Kagome turned around and saw Grandpa, he mom and Souta dead in her house. Tears welded up in her eyes. The tears were coming down uncontrollably. She came up to Souta and held him, crying her eyes out.

She turned around again and found a grave stone with Inu-yasha imprinted on it. She shook her head not believing what she saw. She fell to the ground and saw another grave stone beside Inu-yasha's. It was Alex's. Now Kagome was really sobbing.

She stood up and walked away, tears still fell from her eyes. She was afraid to go on. Without Inu-yasha her life meant nothing.

Kagome woke up with a start and relaxed. She stood up and walked towards the village hoping against hope that Inu-yasha was alive and well.
Inu-yasha was at a bar drinking whisky. Without Kagome his life meant nothing. He couldn't go on without her. His vision was blurry and he fell unconscious.

"And what can I do for you mistress" was what Inu-yasha heard about five minutes later. He looked up and saw a fuzzy figure of Kagome. "I'm looking for a guy by the name of Inu-yasha. Do you know where he is by any chance?" The bartender looked at a drunk Inu-yasha and said "Is that the bloke you where looking for?" he asked pointing at Inu-yasha. Kagome looked in the direction the bartender was pointing. Kagome saw a very drunk Inu-yasha but didn't care. "Inu!" she called to him and ran up to him. She hugged him and kissed him bring Inu-yasha back to his senses. "Inu-yasha" she whispered but Inu-yasha heard her. He smiled and hugged her back overwhelmed with joy. "Kagome, my Kagome has come back" He smiled at her pulling her far enough away so he could look into her gleaming emerald orbs. He kissed her, her mouth was open in surprise. Inu-yasha took that opportunity to slip his tongue in. Their kiss lasted about a minute before they needed air.

The bartender watched the whole thing and smiled. He sighed "Young love" Then he got back to his work.

Kagome looked at Inu-yasha and said "I thought you where hurt or something" Kagome looked up into Inu-yasha's dazzling golden, honey orbs. Her eyes where full of concern for him. "Well I'm fine. Almost got myself drunk but you stopped me before hand" he smiled and chuckled to himself. "As long as you back I have a meaning in life" was all he said before picking Kagome up and heading towards the castle.
