A/N: I'm so sorry!!! I go to year round school and these past few weeks have been our time off. My family went on vacation, and as you would know it, there wasn't a computer handy. I promise to update more often. Thanks for being so patient!

Inuyasha reached the mountains. He had been traveling non-stop. He hadn't even stopped to rest the night before.

"There it is; the mountain peak."

His legs burned from being worked so long. He ignored the pain.

"I have two days to get back to the village with Kagome's soul, or else...." He trailed off.

Inuyasha didn't want to think about Kagome being put into the ground; to have her beautiful face covered with dirt. He shuddered. The thought was just too horrible for him to bear.



He leapt up the side of the tallest mountain. The cool, smooth rock felt good to his tired feet. He kept his eyes on the summit.

"I hope the legends are true."

With one final jump he landed at the peak of the mountain. It was barren. Gray and black rocks were the only thing in sight. A heavy fog hung all around. Inuyasha fell to his knees. He was too weak and too angry to keep standing.

"Where is it?! Where are you?! Where do I have to go?! What do I have to do?! I'm her last hope! I'm the reason she died! I have to save her! Please, let me save her!" He yelled.

A tear fell from each of his eyes. As soon as they hit the ground the fog lifted. Inuyasha looked up at the sky. Something was coming towards him. He could see that it was golden the way the sun reflected off of it. He jumped up once he realized what it was. Descending from the sky was a spiral staircase, the staircase to heaven.



It was a magnificent sight. The fog came back, shielding the mountain from sight to passers by. The staircase spiraled down, giving light to the darkness. As Inuyasha looked at it he felt calmed. The staircase stopped right at his feet.

"Thank you." Inuyasha whispered.

He hesitated for a moment, but then took off running up the stairs.

"Kagome, hang on a little longer."



The stairs seemed to go on and on. Inuyasha felt like he had been running for days. Just when he thought he would collapse, he saw the top of the staircase. As he mounted the last stair, he saw a breathtaking sight. He slowly stepped off the staircase. The moment he did, it disappeared. Inuyasha looked around him. The grass he stood on was the greenest he'd ever seen. There where rivers, valleys, and flowers as far as his eyes could see. These were not what caught his attention though. A gorgeous golden gate was in front of him. The strange thing was that nothing seemed to be behind it.

"Why would Kagome ever want to come back with me?"

A voice broke Inuyasha's thoughts.

"May I help you?" It asked.



A/N: Once again, it's short. I can't seem to make it any longer. It's a curse! Oh well. As always, please review.
