Changing Memories

Chapter 9- Back to Earth

Inuyasha opened his eyes. He knew where he was. He looked around and saw Kiade.

'So I'm really back? Wait! Kagome!' He looked around and felt a hand in his. He turned his head to the side and saw Kagome. She was still in the robe he had dressed her in before he killed himself. He too had on a robe similar to hers. 'She hasn't opened her eyes yet. Did she not come back with me?!'

"Inuyasha you're alive!" Kiade said as she slowly walked up to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha tried to sit up to check if Kagome was alive. He winced when he attempted. His body was really heavy and since he was dead the whole time his body was still injured from the tetsiaga. It wasn't as bad as before though his body had already begun to heal.

"Inuyasha ye mustn't move. Your injuries still need time to heal themselves."

"Feh." Inuyasha gave up and decided to listen to Kiade. "Kiade,...... can you see if Kagome is alive too? I would do it myself, but I can't move."

Kiade smiled, knowing that he was more concerned for her than himself. "Hai Inuyasha, hai."

Kiade knelt next to Kagome and checked her pulse. She had one! It was faint, but she had one.

"So. Is she?"

"Inuyasha, Kagome will need much rest. Her body is not like yours. Hai, she is alive, but she is very weak."

"Good." Inuyasha said and decided to take a nap and regain his strength.

Kiade walked out of the hut to go gather herbs to make medicine for the two.

*******************************About an hour or two later******************************************

Inuyasha awoke to find a soul collector in front of him.

'Kikyo.' Inuyasha tried to move, but he was still weak. He could move his arms, but couldn't stand up.

Kikyo walked into the hut.

"I heard you came back Inuyasha. Why did you die without me Inuyasha?" Kikyo said trying to sound hurt.

"Kikyo..." Inuyasha didn't know what to say.

Kikyo looked over at Kagome, who was having a little difficulty breathing. "I see. It is because of this girl. Well, I will have to do something about that won't I?"

"Kikyo, you leave her alone! Don't touch her!"

Kikyo wasn't listening to him.

Hiroto was in his office witnessing the whole thing. He smirked when he saw Kikyo go to reach for Kagome to kill her.

'She is making my job easier.'

Kikyo reached her hand over to Kagome, in hopes of strangling her. As soon as Kikyo's hand made contact with Kagome's skin there was a bright flash of light.

"What?!" 'What is going on I......' The souls of the dead started to leave her body. Once they were all gone she collapsed to the ground extremely weak.

"Kikyo!"

"What's happening?"

Kagome was still unconscious so Spirit world was still able to use her. Hiroto has been trying to get Kikyo since that witch brought her back and this was the perfect opportunity.

Inuyasha was still holding Kagome's hand. Kagome's eyes snapped open wide. Her eyes were glowing a pinkish-purple. There was a strong wind inside the hut that surrounded Kagome. It lifted her off the ground and into an upright position, causing her to let go of Inuyasha's hand. She was standing, but her feet did not touch the ground.

"Kikyo. I have come to take you back to where you belong. I need the piece of my soul back so I may be whole again. Kikyo." Kagome said not moving until the end.

Kagome reached out her hand toward Kikyo. Kikyo was also raised in to the air like Kagome, but couldn't move. Kagome's hand went through Kikyo like she was a ghost. Kikyo screamed. Inuyasha couldn't move, nor could he say anything. He watched all this happen in shock and in understanding. He understood why Kagome was doing this. She needed to be whole.
