Just A Little Invisible

Part 2

Living in the shadow

Of someone else's dream

Trying to find a hand to hold

All I've really been doing, Kagome thought as she entered the well house, is following Kikyo. Sango and Miroku are always there for me, always reaching out to help me when I fall. She jumped in the well and came out in the Feudal Era seconds later. But somehow, my hands never seem to reach theirs.

Kagome sat astride her bike, gripping the handlebars tightly. Kikyo's life was, is, simply to big for just one reincarnation to relive, let alone repiece the Shikon jewel. To Kagome, it felt like her life was falling slowly falling apart, taking her with it.

But every touch felt cold to me

Wind blew through Kagome's hair as it shimmered in the sunlight.

I guess some hands weren't meant to be held. She slowly pedaled her way to Kaede's village where she knew her friends would be waiting.

Living in a nightmare

A never ending sleep

But now that I am wide awake

My chains are finally free

"Where's Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as she hopped off her bike happily, as if nothing were wrong.

Miroku sighed. "He went off after Kikyo."

"Again," Sango added. Kagome's heart started pounding.

This can't be happening! Kagome cried out in her head. He can't go with her, not yet! "Which way did he go?" she asked. Miroku pointed in the direction of the God Tree. But I was just there. Kagome was utterly distressed, but she started running in that direction.

"Kagome! Kagome wait! What's wrong?" Sango called after the fleeting teen. Kagome had let go of all her remorse, her anger; instead she was taken over by fear, determination, and above all, love for that white haired hanyou.

She ran, ran but it felt like she would never reach the God Tree, like she was running in a horrible dream. She reached the God Tree panting and on the verge of fainting.

"Oh. Thank. God." Kagome breathed when she saw Inuyasha alone. Leaning against the trunk.

Don't feel sorry for me

Suddenly, Kagome thought as she tried to recompose herself. Kikyo becomes a minor problem, part of me.

All the days collided

One less perfect than the next

Kagome made her way to the God Tree and sat on the other side of the trunk, her back to Inuyasha. She figured he needed some time alone.

I'm a mess, I admit. Kagome closed her eyes. I'm failing grade nine, stressing out about Kikyo, about Inuyasha, about everything! And my friends tell me I'm perfect. I'm anything but that.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome said softly, just to see if he was ready to talk. No reply came. She shrugged. Poor guy, he must really feel horrible.

I was stuck inside someone else's life

For some reason, Kagome thought of Kikyo. But she didn't know why. They weren't hate thoughts, but they weren't pity thoughts either. Soon enough, sleep took her.

Kagome's Dream
Kagome was running happily along a beach all by herself. The sun was shining and her dark hair was flailing out behind her. Suddenly, she noticed a second set of footprints that matched her size exactly her size and stretched out ahead of her. Kagome looked up to see Kikyo walking ahead a fair bit.

"Kikyo!" she called. The miko turned around and Kagome looked at her expressionless face.

"You're nothing but a follower. Go home. You know you don't belong here! You only come back to finish what you started and because you want Inuyasha to tell you he loves you." Kikyo said to Kagome. Then as fast as she appeared, the undead miko vanished.
End of Kagome's Dream

Kagome snapped awake, like someone had poured cold water on her. That dream was a major case of déjà vu.

That was like that time with Menomaru… when he made me hurt Inuyasha. A tear slid down her cheek. Kikyo had yelled at me. Yelled at me to go home.

And always second best

"Inuyasha, I know you don't love me like you love Kikyo, but as long as you have me somewhere in your heart, I'm happy. I'm used to being second… in everything." There was still no reply. "Inuyasha, how much alone time do you need?" Silence. "Inuyasha?" Kagome was growing worried. Inuyasha was never this quiet. She could hear him breathing but why wasn't he answering? She crawled over to where Inuyasha was sitting.

"OH. MY. GOD!" Inuyasha was slumped against the trunk, an arrow pierced through his chest. Undoubtedly Kikyo's work.

Muahahaha... Here i leave you.... this is the end of the second part.... and just so you, the dear readers (and hopefully reviewers) or mine know, the third and final part will be really really short... so ta ta... xox
