Chapter 5: Black Hole Inside
By Tainted InuShemeeko

There was no hiding the look of pure pleasure in Naraku's eyes, as he watched the scene that played inside Kanna's mirror.

"This is even better then I planned it. Once the girl Kagome is away from InuYasha, it will be easier to poison her mind against her friends."

He laughed coldly before he continued.

"Ayako will not fail me, for she has already started to destroy Kagome's mind. Never does she remember the terrible things she has done; soon Kagome Higurashi will be nothing more than a memory, for she will be under my control."

Naraku was startled by the sound of Kanna's soft voice.

"He will try and save her will he not?"

Naraku's maroon eyes narrowed as he looked over at Kanna.

"He will try, but the girl is already slipping out of his reach. She is afraid of hurting him so she flees from him. If only Kikyo realized how helpful she has been once again, destroying someone who was once more in my way."

Inuyasha dashed after Kagome, he couldn't let her leave he just couldn't when she was so upset.

'Don't worry Kagome, I'm here for you. I won't let you go through what ever you're going through alone.'

Inuyasha reached out and grabbed Kagome by the arm he then turned her so then she was facing him. He couldn't help the coldness that now shone in his usually bright amber eyes.

"Look at me Kagome, first you ask me for help and then you run away. That's not how it works, I'll help you if you want me to, but first I need to know how to help you."

Kagome turned her stormy eyes away from him. When two more voices of her friends broke through the silence. Her eyes locked with Sango's as she spoke.

"Inuyasha is right Kagome, we're your friends we'll help you in any way we can."

Miroku nodded in response.

"Sango, is right Kagome, you're our friend we shall all ways be there for you."

Kagome smiled weakly over at her friends.

"Thanks guys you're the best."

'That's right Kagome stay with your friends.'

Kagome shook her head trying to get rid of the voice inside of her head. It seemed like it didn't there in her head. Inuyasha's voice brought her out of her trance.

"Hey, you all right there Kagome?"

She nodded her head yes as she followed her friends back to Kaede's hut. All she really wanted to do was get some sleep.

Naraku smiled to himself as he watched Kagome and the others settle down for the night.

"This is prefect all the pieces of my plan are falling together perfectly. Soon the girl will no longer exist and I will have her at my disposal."

He laughed cruelly as he continued to watch them through Kanna's mirror.

Miroku looked thoughtfully at Kagome as he spoke.

"Do you think you could explain to us what it feels like after you come out of these strange black outs if you will?"

Kagome thought about the best words that would fit with what was happening to her.

"I don't know it's like these blank spot in my head, almost like black holes I guess. When it happens I kind of just felt empty inside."

Inuyasha's arms were crossed over his chest as he listened to Kagome talk.

"Yeah and what about the times you tried to kill me, what'cha ya feel then huh? I mean come on if you ask me something sinks about all this."

Miroku sighed as he looked over at Inuyasha.

"Yes, I agree Inuyasha, however yelling at her isn't going to help."

Inuyasha's eyebrow twitched as he looked at Miroku.

"I wasn't yelling at her ok...I'm just pissed ok."

Kaede's old voice broke through the tension that was swarming in the air.

"I believe all of ye should get some sleep. We shall look into this matter in the morning. Kagome as already fallen asleep as has Shippo, ye all be tried be ye not?"

Inuyasha's answer was simple.

"Keh, whatever old woman, but I ain't tired."

 Later that night while everyone was sleeping soundly including Inuyasha. A soft blue light blinked from Kagome's body as her stirred in her sleep,

Kagome's Dream

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

The sun was warm and shining down on Kagome and her friends as they enjoyed the warm weather and cool water. Their happy laughter filled the air, when suddenly everything became dark, causing her to look over at Inuyasha.

"What's going on Sango, Sango?"

Kagome walk over to Sango's stiff and unmoving form. The minute she touched her, Sango's body fell over and shatter into pieces.

"Noooo, Sango!"

A soft voice spoke to her in the shadows.

"You don't need them; you have me I'll always be there for you. Those so called friends of yours speak of lies. They are lying to you Kagome they care nothing of you, they only wish to use you."

Kagome started to shake as her anger started to build inside of her.

"No you're lying, they are my friends. Who are you?"

The voice in the shadows answered her.

"Why I'm you. So who are you, if I'm you?"

Kagome head was starting to hurt and she was starting to become confused, she grabbed her chest as sheering hot pain hit her. The voice continued to speak to her in her confused condition.

"You wish for the pain to stop do you not, all you have to do is destroy them all. Then there will be no more pain."

Kagome didn't like what she was hearing.

"No I won't do it, they're my friends."

The voice continued to speak to her, only this time it became colder then before.

"Why not you've already killed one why not the other three, they are standing in the way. Do it, destroy them, do it now."

Now the voice was starting to scare her.

"No, I won't do it I won't hurt them."

The strange female voice in the shadows was now filled with hatred.

"Kill the monk and young fox."

 The pain in Kagome's chest continued to rip through her. Trying to support herself she put a hand to her chest. When she brought it back it was covered in blood.

"You will die if you continue to fight me. Give in to the pain become one with it and it will all stop. However since you refused to obey me I will have to teach you a lesson. I shall start with the one closest to you."

Kagome scream as a blindly blue light was hurled toward Inuyasha's frozen form.

"Noooo, Inuyasha."

Crystalline tears fell from her stormy eyes as she watched as Inuyasha's body shattered in the same way as Sango's.

"Inu...yasha, NOOOOO INUYASHA!"

End of Dream

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

 Inuyasha was awaken by the sound of Kagome screaming his name in her sleep, making him to run to her side followed by Sango, Shippo, Miroku, and Kaede. Inuyasha growled when he saw the sweat beading across her forehead; however it was the fresh blood that was pooling from her wounds that was the real cause of his growl.

Kaede's face was grim as she placed a shaking hand on Kagome's forehead.

"That is strange she has a fever, and her wounds have reopened.
It is the one near her shoulder that worries me. It was healing
and now it looks as if it is a brand new wound."

Pain and concern flickered in Inuyasha's amber orbs as he watched Kagome struggle in her sleep. He then gasped as he saw the strange blue aura surround her body. His nose twitched at the smell of her tears and blood. Someone one was hurting her and he couldn't help her.

"I'm right here Kagome, I'd never leave you. Now come on you have to wake up you have to come back to us. Wake up Kagome."

Her body lurched up and forward as she slammed into Inuyasha's body. Kagome grabbed tight onto Inuyasha's haori as she then cried harder into his shoulder.

'She's shaking, what could have happened in her dream to scare her so much?'

Inuyasha's grip tightened a little as he continued to comfort her. After a few minutes he tried to get her to release her grip on him and failed.

"Inuyasha, I just want to stay here with you. I'm afraid..."

His voice became soft as he spoke to her.

"What are you afraid of Kagome?"

She took in a shaky breath before she spoke.

"I'm afraid if I let you go, you'll die like you did in my nightmare and then I'll be alone, like I was in my nightmare."

This confused Inuyasha why would she be alone if he died wouldn't she have Miroku and the others.

"Kagome I think you're worry to much over a dream, I mean that's all it was."

Kagome shook her head.

"No, no you're wrong it was real. I saw it, I saw her killing you. I wouldn't obey her, she wanted me to obey her and do what she said and I wouldn't listen to her. So she turned you all into stone or ice and she shattered you."

Miroku's gentle voice spoke to Kagome next.

"Who is the woman you speak of Kagome, did she tell you her name in your dream?"

Kagome sniffed back a tear as she answered Miroku.

"No she didn't, no wait I know her name her name is...Ayako."

Miroku was about to question her more when Inuyasha stopped him.

"Don't bother Miroku. She's asleep again; whatever the hell is going on with her it sure as hell is taking a lot out of her. There's something off about the fever she's got. Something about all this stinks of Naraku if you ask me."

"I would appear that Inuyasha is smarter then I first thought. Kagura go and pay Inuyasha and his friends a visit. Ayako's transformation is almost complete, and once it is nothing will stop me from completing the jewel. Not even Inuyasha will dare to go against me."
