Chapter 3: Reflection
By Tainted InuShemeeko
Kagome sighed as she made her way out of her bathroom. She hadn't been able to take a shower but it hadn't been that bad. Changing her bloody bandages had been fun, but she had managed. Kagome had then changed into a pair of light pink sweat pants; her bandages covered her top. She then lifted her brush to her hair and started to pull the brush through it gently.
She winced at the pain that spread thought her chest.
'Stupid, you were wounded and you climbed through a window to get away from him.'
Kagome's stormy eyes caught sight of her reflection; tears suddenly sprang from her eyes. Tears of anger soon replaced her tears of sadness as Kagome backed away from her dresser.
"I'm so stupid, stupid!"
Hot tears continued to splash down the sides of her face. Kagome then turned to her desk and grabbed her paperweight from it. She screamed as she threw it at her mirror.
"I hate you! You hear me I hate you!"
Kagome crumpled to the floor of her room just as the paperweight connected with her mirror causing it to shatter. Shards of glass showered down on Kagome as she sat on the floor. She winced when she felt something sting the side of her face. Something trickled down her face.
Normally she would have done something to stop the bleeding from the wounds that the mirror glass had made.
Shippo, Miroku and Sango frowned as they watch Inuyasha pace back and forth in front of the well. They all knew that he was worried about Kagome they all were worried about her. She was wounded and she had run away from them, however it had been Inuyasha who she had been really running from.
Miroku looked over to Sango and whispered.
"I do believe Inuyasha is blaming himself for Kagome leaving us today."
Sango simply nodded at Miroku.
"Yes, I agree, but why I understand why she was anger at him. She also seemed to be afraid of him at the same time, but why?"
Miroku kneed his chin as he thought.
"Indeed. If we only knew why."
A very irritated voice broke into their discussion.
"Could the two of you knock it off? I'm trying to think. If the two of you are so worried about relationships maybe you guys can work out your own issues."
The two blushed at Inuyasha's last statement and looked away from one another. Inuyasha smirked at this and continued his pacing.
'Kagome, I didn't mean any of those things I said earlier. I was...I was just scared, I thought I was going to lose you.'
Suddenly the image of Kagome aiming an arrow at him flashed through his mind, her words now frozen into his brain.
"Don't come any close Inuyasha! I don't want to hurt you."
He had though he had dared to step closer to her trying to reach her.
"I said don't move."
The arrow landed in the ground at his feet.
Inuyasha shook his head, clearly his mind of the shaky thought.
'None of this is making sense, just what is going on in that head of yours Kagome?'
Inuyasha's eyes widened as a familiar smell drifted to his nose, causing him to turn toward the well.
'Kagome.'
Miroku and Sango both caught his sudden turn toward the well. Sango was the first one to question him.
"Inuyasha what is it?"
"I smell Kagome's blood."
This only confused Miroku and Sango more, causing Miroku to question him.
"If I'm not mistaken wasn't Kagome's wound bleeding when she left us?"
Inuyasha shook his head at Miroku.
"It's not that wound stupid, this blood smells fresh."
Without a minute's thought Inuyasha jumped into the well. In a swirl of blue and pink lights he soon found himself on the other side of the well. Once Inuyasha leapt out of the well the smell of blood became stronger.
'Kagome. I swear if someone hurt you I'll make them pay.'
Inuyasha then bound up toward Kagome's bedroom. What he saw when he reached her window horrified him. There sitting in the middle of her room was Kagome, blood was running freely from cuts on her face, small cuts graced each one of her arms. However, it was her hands that had scared him, both of them were stained with blood, which dripped onto her carpet.
He then watched as she tightened her grip on the glass that was in her hands. Which caused more crimson blood to pool from the wounds that littered her once soft and beautiful hands. His ears twitched as he heard her mumble something in between her angry sobs. Inuyasha reached to pull her window only to find that it wouldn't open for him.
'What it's locked? Kagome never locks it.'
Now he had no choice he'd have to go the long way to reach her. Within minutes Inuyasha was standing out Kagome's bedroom door. His claw hand reached out to turn the knob only to find that it was locked as well.
'Damn, it's locked. Oh well Kagome will just have to get over it. She needs me more then her door needs this knob.'
In one quick twist the lock on Kagome's door broke, allowing Inuyasha entrance to Kagome's room. As he stared into the room, the scent of Kagome's blood swarmed his sensitive nose. The girl Inuyasha had started to care for just sat on the floor her blood dripping away from her body. The longer Inuyasha stared at her the longer he thought.
'It's like she's in a trace I don't even think she knows that I'm here.'
Without a second thought Inuyasha grabbed a towel off of Kagome's bathroom door. He then bent down and slowly removed the large shard of glass out of her hand. Then wrapped the towel around her bleeding hands, trying to stop the bleeding.
Concern flickered within Inuyasha's eyes as he held tight to the towel he was wrapping around one of her arm. Then suddenly without warning, Kagome seemed to flicker to life and come around. She was like her old self again only a little confused.
"Inuyasha what are you doing here?"
Inuyasha frowned as he looked down at her as he spoke.
"Kagome, what happened here?"
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha confused.
"What are you talking about Inuyasha?"
"You're bleeding."
"Well yeah of course I am Kikyo shot me remember."
Inuyasha nodded his head.
"Yes, I remember, but I was talking about your mirror."
Kagome's eyes then noticed her shattered mirror.
"Oh well I, I...don't remember what happened to it."
Inuyasha's eyebrows came down together he didn't like this one bit. First Kikyo had shot her with an arrow and now she couldn't remember how her mirror had gotten broken.
"Let's get you cleaned up and we'll worry about where your memory went off too once we clean your wounds and see how deep they are."
An hour later Inuyasha had finished bandaging Kagome's new wounds as well as changing the one on her chest. He had then carried her out to her bed. She sat there and watched Inuyasha clean up the blood and glass fragments. He'd even gotten the strange creature out and ran it across her carpet to pick up pieces that were to small for him to see.
"Hey, Kagome I think you should try and get some rest ok."
Kagome nodded and then spoke to Inuyasha.
"Um....Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha looked up at the sad stormy eyed girl.
"Yeah Kagome, what is it?"
"I think I remember what happened to the mirror."
At the sound of this Inuyasha slowly walked over and sat beside her. Listening to every word that passed through her lips.
"I was sitting in front of my mirror brushing my hair. All of a sudden she was in my mirror and she was taunting me and laughing at me. I had to stop her from staring at me. I know it was a stupid thing to do so you don't need to tell me that. You know though you were right I am stupid."
This comment about herself only angered Inuyasha more.
"Would you stop that you're not stupid ok. I was just afraid, I don't want to lose you."
Kagome lowered her head letting her bangs fall over her eyes. In doing so preventing Inuyasha from seeing the coldness that now coated them. However he didn't miss the coldness in her voice as she spoke.
"I'm tired now, leave me so I can get some sleep. I won't sleep if you're here."
Inuyasha had become shocked at what he had just heard. What hell was going on with her?
"Yeah, sure I was just leaving anyway wench."
That's when he saw it a smoky dark blue aura start to seep from Kagome's light pink one.
'What the hell is that? Well what ever it is it explains the change in Kagome's mood. How did it happen?'
Inuyasha thoughts then when to the arrow Kikyo had shot at Kagome.
'Kikyo. She must have done something to Kagome. When I find her she'll tell me what she did to Kagome and then she'll fix it.'
Inuyasha looked over at the shards on her desk. They were still glowing a bright beautiful pink.
'Well at least I know Kagome is still in there and can purify the jewel still.'
Suddenly Kagome head jerked up. She eyes were no longer the soft eyes of the Kagome he knew. They were cold and dark.
"I thought I told you to leave me Inuyasha. NOW GO!"
A strange dark energy shot out of Kagome's hand. Inuyasha knew whatever it was meant to kill him. However it didn't, it seemed to turn a light blue as Inuyasha was shoved though Kagome's window, glass shattering as he fell to the ground.
'Kagome I know you're still in there. I'll find a way to free you, because I know now that you're not really Kagome.'
(A/N: Bam! That's all for now. Next time Kagome goes back through the well. Inuyasha still doesn't trust her. Everyone else just thinks it all in Inuyasha's head. However the clothes Kagome are wearing are quite different then what they are used to. So what's happened to Kagome?
Wow I finished it. A big thanks to all you all reviewing this story. You guys are great. Ja ne! Tainted InuShemeeko)
