Recap:
A bright light glowed around Kagome. The Shikon no Tama appeared in front of her. Kagome's eyes became blurry, and she fell into a trance. She pointed her finger at the rope binding Inuyasha to the rock. A jet of light beamed from Kagome's finger to the rope, and the rope disappeared. Before she fell, she saw Sesshoumaru and Rin enter, and heard Sesshoumaru mutter "Foolish girl." And Kagome whispered, "Good luck, Inuyasha. Thank you." Sesshoumaru summoned the messengers from hell, and everything went black.
Inuyasha stirred. He opened his eyes and sat up. Or at least, he tried to. As soon as he tried to sit up, white-hot pain shot through his entire body. "What the...? Where am I? What happened? And—Oh my god KAGOME!" The hanyou didn't need to check her heartbeat or her breathing. She reeked of death. But that didn't stop him from doing what he did next. Inuyasha shook her. Hard. "Wake up Kagome! Wake up! Oh god this can't be happening come on Kagome WAKE UP!" Tears started to form in his amber eyes.
"She won't wake." A cold voice said. "I thought you would know that by now." Inuyasha spun around. "Sesshoumaru! What have you done to her?" Inuyasha snarled, unsheathing Testuaiga. "I haven't done anything to her." Sesshoumaru replied calmly, "On the contrary, she was the one that did it. Yes little brother, she killed herself. But I guess it wasn't in vain, now was it?"
"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha growled.
"I merely said to her that if she saved herself, she would have betrayed you and left for you to die. But if she saved you, she would have to pay the ultimate price---her life. I must say, I really thought she would escape and save herself, instead of losing her life to yours. But I guess since she's human, those stupid sentimental feelings got the better of her. Worthless human."
"She's not." Inuyasha said quietly.
"Excuse me?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"She's not worthless!" Suddenly, all this anger he had held up inside of him had given him new power. Power he had never felt before. Not even when he protected Kikyo. Was it possible that he loved Kagome more than Kikyo? Kikyo was always serious. But Kagome was so carefree. She always made him feel better. Kikyo may have taught him how to love, but he didn't love Kikyo. No, heloved Kagome, and that was that. This power. It was anger. Anger and sorrow. He felt sorrow for the loved one he had lost. And anger towards the one who had pushed Kagome and him against one another.
Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore. He had to let go. For a temporary moment, Inuyasha lost control of his mind. Anger and sorrow reeled his mind. Those feelings were controlling his entire body. Inuyasha slashed the Testuaiga at Sesshoumaru. But Sesshoumaru unleashed the power of Tenseiga, and his life was spared. "Foolish brother. Have you forgotten the sword Father gave me? The healing sword? I guess I didn't give it enough credit." Sesshoumaru smirked at the sight of Inuyasha. His clothes were dirty, and he was sweaty and panting heavily. Sesshoumaru lifted the illusion he had placed on that room. The room was filled with light for a blind second. Then, four walls appeared on either side of him, and Inuyasha found that he was in a bare room inside Sesshoumaru's castle. His half-brother got up and left, leaving Inuyasha to his thoughts.
Inuyasha felt so stupid. How could he have let this happen twice? First with Kikyo and now with Kagome. Was the whole world against him!? It took all of Inuyasha's self-control to not go crazy. He picked up Kagome's body and cried. "Kagome. I'm so sorry." Inuyasha sobbed, "It wasn't your fault that Sesshoumaru wanted to take my life. It's not fair!" With that, he stood up, Kagome's body in his arms, and left for Kaede's village, dreading what would happen to him when he told Sango and the others, not to mention Kagome's family. Hopefully, they wouldn't kill him. But only time will tell.
