Kagome, No More
Chapter 3
Kagome couldn't help but think of the boy she had seen earlier. He was out of this world with the outfit he had on, along with his facial features and eyes. Most people would be screaming their heads off when they saw him but she wasn't scared of him. The boy looked so kind and sweet but he was gone. She would probably never see him again and she accepted that fact just as the bell rang to go home.
Inuyasha had popped out of the well a while ago, but he just sat on the edge of it deep in thought.
"Kagome gave her life up so willingly just so I could life…She said that she loved me." said Inuyasha to no one but someone was listening.
"So my reincarnation is dead?" asked a voice who was now identified as Kikyo.
"Yes," he said not making eye contact with her.
Kikyo walked over to Inuyasha and sat down beside him.
"Maybe this will help ease the pain some." she said handing him two shards of the jewel.
Inuyasha looked at Kikyo and smiled.
"I tired to retrieve my soul but couldn't, it's already been taken." muttered Kikyo.
"I know, Naraku took her soul and made her into a clay doll but she doesn't have to feed off souls, she feeds off Naraku's magic and power." said Inuyasha cursing softly.
Kikyo said nothing and the time passed slowly in silence.
"She ended up suffering the same fate as I. Only her death was more noble and she died loving you instead of hating you like I." said Kikyo smirking barely.
"Yeah, she jumped infront of the attack she and I combined to defeat Naraku but he is still alive…even worse his spirit escaped into Kagome's time some how." said Inuyasha bitterly.
"Her death was in vain but at least she's alive." said Kikyo.
"Naraku erased her memories and if I try to tell her of our time together she will die." spoke Inuyasha sadly.
In the corner of his eye, he imagined Kagome. She had so many times caught him with Kikyo and every time he always saw more pain in her eyes than the last time. He felt guilty about it, but he was just talking, unlike what he had always done before,
"Kikyo, it really does feel good to talk to you like I used to 50 years ago and I thank you for the shards as well but I must be heading to the village now." said Inuyasha hugging Kikyo.
She smiled with a fait blush on her cheeks, nodded and then they departed.
Inuyasha entered the village just as the sun was setting. He saw his group of familiar friends under a tree just outside of Kaede's hut.
"Guys, I've got news for you." said Inuyasha as he sat down beside them like he did so many times before with Kagome.
"Umm…Kagome's family is displeased with us for laying Kagome's body to rest here instead of in her time?" asked Miroku.
"No, but before I explain we need to dig up Kagome's grave." said Inuyasha.
"Are you crazing Inuyasha? Have some respect for the dead!" said Sango.
"Please, do this for me. I have a point to make." said Inuyasha again.
The sighed and all nodded.
The reached the grave site, pink cherry blossoms had been placed around it neatly in a circle. Inuyasha looked the cherry blossoms, Kagome smelt just like them. Miroku and Inuyasha started digging up the grave at a steady pace, finally they reached the wood-casket they had made for her. Inuyasha grabbed the side of the lid and swung it open, only to be face to face with an empty boc.
The group was surprised and grasped but Inuyasha did not.
"This is my point." said Inuyasha.
"What is going on?" said the others all in unison.
"Inuyasha, explain now!" screamed Sango above the others.
"I went to Kagome's time this morning and, well…" paused Inuyasha wanting to leave out the fact that he had gone to see Kagome's room before hand.
"I went to her room and I got so caught up in her sent and then there was a noise and jumped back and hide and there was Kagome, smiling like always." said Inuyasha trailing off but slowly starting again.
"I found out that Naraku is behind it. His spirit escaped into Kagome's time and he now had possessed Souta, Kagome's kid brother, and he turned Kagome into a clay doll but she doesn't feed off souls; she feeds off Naraku's power and magic. What's worse is Naraku has erased her memories and we can not tell her of our history or she will die."
"But why is her body gone?" asked Sango as tears welt up in her eyes.
"Naraku needed her body to retrieve her soul, that's just common sense." said Inuyasha yet again.
"Then we must go to Kagome's time and protect her from Naraku." said Shippo.
"Miroku and I will go and enroll in her school so we can protect her more in the day and Inuyasha and Shippo will watch over us unseen." said Sango pitching her idea at the whole group.
"Then it's settled, let us be on our way then." said Miroku going into the hut to retrieve their things.
"But where will we stay? We know nothing about Kagome's time." said Shippo, making a point.
"We will stay in the well house. It is just outside of Kagome's home. We will use what little I know about her world to surive but I warn you all there are many new demons there but you must not attack them. Some of them do not harm humans. They are what Kagome calls Machines" said Inuyasha clearing every one's doubts as they headed towards the well.
Meanwhile In Kagome's Room
Kagome sat at the desk in her room studying.
"I hate Math, it's one of my worst subjects." whined Kagome.
"I just wish I could sit…" started Kagome but was cut off when she heard a very loud thud.
"Grandpa must be up to something again." said Kagome, sheepishly, forgetting the thud.
Meanwhile Outside Of Kagome's House
"Inuyasha, I think Kagome said the "S" word." said Miroku.
Inuyasha shuttered in fear, "Yeah, No shit."
"We need to get some rest because we need to leave before Kagome." said Sango.
The others nodded and laid down on the floor of the well house, Inuyasha however, laid awake thinking of Kagome. He crept out of the well house and soundlessly jumped into the tree outside of Kagome's window.
Her window was open yet again, and she was fast asleep at her desk. He jumped into her room and felt so happy to be close to her again. He walked over to her and brushed a stray hair out of her goddess like face. Her face was so much happier than Kikyo's had ever been when she was alive and with Inuyasha. He didn't dare to compare her youthful angel face to Kikyo's ever again. She sighed in her sleep and he could do nothing but smile at her cuteness. She gently scooped her up and placed her on her bed softly, then smiled, closed the window behind him and sat in the tree out of sight but in perfect view of his beloved.
Kagome smiled in her sleep and rolled over. Inuyasha fell asleep in the tree outside of her window. The morning came sooner than Inuyasha would have thought. He got up just as the sun rose and slowly jumped down from the tree. He walked into the well house and met the eyes of his friends that still had touches of sleep in them. Miroku and Sango were cuddled up in the corner together and Shippo and Kirara were laying on one another.
"I've decided that I'm going to go with both of you to school." said Inuyasha as he started to search Kagome's huge yellow bag that she had carried with her on so many of their adventures and journeys and pulled out a black hat she had bought him to wear when he came to get her in her time.
"I want to see her, talk to her, and protect at the same time and there is nothing any of you can do or say to stop me." said Inuyasha placing his hand on his sword, making his decision final to the others.
They all sweat dropped and nodded in agreement.
