Chapter 5- Wake up, Kagome

The mirror landed in front of Kikyo. She looked down into it and saw her reflection and her soul began to spill from her body into the mirror.

"No!" She yelled. With her last ounce of strength, Kikyo drew an arrow. She put it in her bow and shot it at the mirror. The arrow pierced the it. Souls escaped from the broken glass. Kikyo dropped to her knees. The mirror had absorbed what was left of her soul. Her bow fell out of her hand and her body lay lifeless on the floor. Cold and lifeless. As it once was. Everyone was speechless. InuYasha heard a small cough come from the girl in his arms. He hadn't noticed before but souls were re-entering Kagome's body. Others escaped out of the window to return to their rightful places as well.

InuYasha pushed past a stunned Kagura. "Hold it!" Kagura said. "Don't tell me you still think you can leave with her. InuYasha laid Kagome down gently on the hard floor. He unsheathed his sword without a second thought and brought it down as hard as he could on the wall. The stone crumbled. He put his sword away and picked up Kagome. The walls trembled and InuYasha ran as fast as he could. The walls of the castle fell down just as InuYasha escaped with Kagome in his arms.

"What was that?" Shippou asked. He heard the sound of the castle falling in the distance.

"I heard it, too." Miroku said.

"Yea," Said Sango. "Do you think we should go check it out?"

"We better. It could be InuYasha." Miroku said. The three turned around and made there way toward the sound quickly. They all gasped when they saw the crumbled castle.

"This wasn't here before." Shippou said.

"It must have been one of Naraku's barriers." Sango said. They slowly stepped through the gravel looking for their friends.

"Look over there!" Shippou exclaimed. "It's InuYasha!" He pointed. The group walked over to Inuyasha. Kagome was in his arms as he sat crossed legged on the ground.

"InuYasha . . ." Miroku said as he neared him. His head as down looking at Kagome.

"It's all my fault . . ." InuYasha whispered. "I'm sorry Kagome. I didn't mean to do this to you. Just wake up. Please, just wake up."

Miroku stopped walking and so did the others. "Please, wake up, Kagome." InuYasha let a single tear roll down his cheek. "I love you, Kagome." He said. He closed his eyes and rocked her back and forth in his arms.

Kagome slowly opened her eyes. She saw InuYasha's face. She put her hand to his face and wiped away his tear. His eyes opened. "I knew you'd save me, InuYasha." She whispered to him weakly. "I knew you'd come." More tears stung his eyes.

"Kagome!" He hugged her and let his tears flow freely.

"Is Kagome alright?" Shippou asked quietly.

"She will be, Shippou. She will be." Miroku said to him.

InuYasha quickly wiped his tears away and picked Kagome up bridal style. He began walking, holding her close to him.

"InuYasha?" Kagome said.

"Yes." He said as he peered into her eyes.

"What . . . what about Ki-"

"She's gone now." InuYasha said to her. Kagome managed a small, weak smile. Her hand opened and the stone fell to the ground. The sun rose and Kagome buried her face in InuYasha's chest for comfort. They all walked, leaving everything behind them. The castle. Naraku and his spawns. And Kikyo. Everything . . .

That's the end of the story. I know it's kinda short but I hope you all like it. I may have an update on Kagome but I'm not sure. Just keep a look out and R R PLEASE! Thank you and have a nice day )i(
