Sorry, I've been making music videos for my classes "prom" thing...though its not THE Prom, anyways...heres your chapter lol
---Chapter 14: Real Thoughts---
Inuyasha treaded down the hall, waiting, wondering, and most of all, worrying over Kagome. He wasn't sure if this whole thing would actually work. Was there really a Shikon Jewel? If so, did it really bring back the dead? Course...there had to be if Kikyo went through all this trouble to make him get to it. Right?
As he fell deep into his thoughts, he noticed Kikyo stopped walking. He too stopped, snapping out of his trance. Kikyo pointed forward to the mirror wall, "In there, is your last test"
"But-" As he said this, the wall faded to the ground, and looked like a hallway. He looked down it, and saw a large, empty room. He turned to Kikyo, who showed no emotion. He shrugged and walked into the room. The walls behind him closed, trapping him again.
He looked around, empty. Nothing there at all. Just reflection after reflection. He sighed and hit one of the walls in curiousity, The wall vibrated, and the image of him changed. His outfit became blue. Since he was traveling, he had put on his haori his father gave him, but now...the mirror had it blue! He looked down, and his jaw dropped. His haori had actually turned blue. He looked around some more, not knowing what to do. He walked to another slab of mirrory rock and stared into it. Red. He looked down. Red. He blinked for awhile, and started getting quite agitated. He turned back around to face the blue one, finding an image of Kagome walking up behind the blue him and wrapping her arms around his neck and resting her head on his shoulder. He lifted an eyebrow and walked towards it. Suddenly, the slab with his and Kagome's image cracked, and the motions stopped. He turned to look at another, seeing Kagome fainted on the fall. Ok, now he was mad. He stepped again, seeing Fuyuki behind her. He clinched his fist, "Ok, this is fucking stupid! Somebody tell me what's going on!"
He crossed his arms. How confusing was this? All his reflections were doing something that made...little sense to him. He glanced at the one with Fuyuki and noticed he was gone. Kagome still lay unconscious, and the other image still was cracked, and frozen in place. He blinked a few times...then slowly spun around. He heard footsteps, but couldn't find anyone. He could smell blood. It was coming from the slab with Kagome alone. He walked over to it and put one hand on it. He felt something, and removed it...he froze...his hand was covered in blood. He shook it, but it wouldn't go away. More footsteps. He finally held his head with his other hand and screamed. The footsteps stopped. He opened his eyes.
"No..." He spoke in a barely audible whisper. Fuyuki, or well it seemed to be, stood in front of him. No reflection. This was something you could touch, and hurt. Inuyasha clenched the blood-covered hand into a tight fist, "I don't care what you really are...you're going to pay for what you did"
Fuyuki smiled, holding up his own hand. The tips had blood from where he had hit Kagome, "That disobedient wench deserved it. I hear she's gonna die soon. How sad. I won't be able to do anything else"
"You can't do anything anyway! I killed you with my bare hands!"
"Doesn't look like I'm dead now, does it?"
"You aren't real! I know you're not! You can't trick me, I'm not as stupid as you are"
Fuyuki licked his finger, "Well, I'm pretty real to you. You just can't seem to get me out of your mind..."
"Then I'll think about something else! Then I can get out of this stupid place!"
"You won't be able to"
"SHUT UP! I CAN DO IT SO JUST SHUT UP!"
Inuyasha turned away from everything and closed his eyes. Happy thoughts...um...um...let's see...hey, how about when he gets the jewel. He can finally get the hell out of here, go home with Sango, Miroku, Shippo...and save Kagome. Kagome...since when was she all that came to his mind? It didn't bother him, but it confused him. He wasn't supposed to care about anyone. But for some reason, he did. Since when...good question. He didn't really notice it until lately. He found himself always wondering about here and writing love songs he didn't understand. He shook his head, eyes still closed, smiling. He heard laughter and opened his eyes. He turned slowly, and found the cheerful laughter coming from Kagome standing in front of him. He blinked. Maybe everything he thought came to life or something. He smiled.
That was about the time all images disappeared. Kikyo entered the room, a cool smile on her face. IF you could call that a smile at all. She walked up to him and took in a breath, "I'm surprised you got the idea so easily"
"What idea?"
"In this room, all your thoughts come to life and will either haunt you, or help you. You couldn't leave until you realized that. And somehow, by thinking of that girl...it worked"
"You could see everything that was going on in here?"
"Yes"
"Oh...well...can I have the jewel now?"
Kikyo paused, and then began walking back the way they had come. He would've asked, but this cave was so confusing, it didn't matter anymore.
----------------------
"Here..."
Kikyo held out her hand, the jewel shining brightly in her palm. He reached for it, afraid to touch it. As if worried to strip it of all its beauty with his dirty half demon hand.(Not that he should be ashamed...but indeed, he is) He picked it up and looked into the sparkles and the mist that seemed to float around it. Purples, pinks, and blues floated about and he watched it purity glow.
"Inuyasha! Let's go home now!" Shippo leaped onto his shoulder and wacked him on the head. Inuyasha growled, and smacked the kit. Shippo squealed and hid on Sango's shoulder.
As quickly as they could they ran home.
----------------------
Koga paced impatiently at the outskirts of town. They needed to get back soon. He had to tell them about what happened. He had to.
He noticed they silhouettes and sniffed them out. He hung his head low. A reassuring hand rested on his shoulder...he turn to see Ayame, trying hard to smile. Which wasn't working, but...it helped.
Inuyasha showed them the jewel, Koga licked his lips, beginning to speak, "Um guys?"
"Yea?"
"Kagome.....died"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
So sorry to leave it off like this. AND DONT TRY TO KILL ME! I love Kagome as much as the next Kikyo hater, so don't go thinkin I'm ending the story now or anything...got it? GOOD! -smile- REVIEW
