Kagome, No More

Chapter 7

Kagome had been engulfed in darkness by herself. She lay there curled up in a tight little ball crying. The images in her mind where new and she had no idea what they meant. Images of Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku and her slaying monsters like warriors, and her with a jewel, missing a large piece, around her neck. She saw these images but they were all black and white to her, yet no matter how many images entered her mind it would always trail back to Inuyasha. Ever since she had seen Inuyasha for the first time she had felt this attraction in her heart and mind; it was almost as if she was longing for his closeness...his embrace. As she thought of him more images of Inuyasha engulfed her mind, some of him angry, smiling, and some with a look of longing.

Even though those images were good, they all made Kagome cry out in pain. She had no idea where they were from, and what had caused them. As she sobbed loudly, it hit her, her mind went back to about a week ago.

(Flashback)

The classroom was still stuffy from being locked up all weekend and the usual gossip time was underway while they were waiting for the teacher to arrive and Kagome couldn't breathe so she went to the open window in the right corner of the back of the room. As she stood there taking in the sweet smell of the new day she saw something flash in the corner of her eye. She was unable to see it, but when she turned her head back to where she had been staring at prior there was a boy occupying a tree branch.

The boy was odd looking with a fire red robe on, silver hair, dog ears, golden orb eyes and a sword hanging from his side. Even when she saw the she smiled and waved but when she did, it looked as if it had pained him to see her do so. Kagome then frowned and returned to her seat.

(End of Flashback)

The boy looked just like Inuyasha, and then it hit her. The boy was Inuyasha. In all the images Inuyasha looked just like he had that day in the tree. The boy was Inuyasha, that would explain why Inuyasha wore a hat or something on his head and that was to cover up his ears, Everything made sense to her now but one thing. What were all these memories? Kagome didn't know, but she wondered as she laid in the darkness of her mind. She then fell asleep. When opened her eyes again she saw she was in her room. As she stirred, she looked to the right of her bed and saw Inuyasha, asleep laying on the edge of her bed. He looked so peaceful and adorable when he slept. She slightly brushed his bangs out of his closed eyes. As she lightly touched his hair, his eyes opened. She smiled sweetly and slightly patted his head. He smiled in return and then sat up to speak.

"Are you alright, Kagome? What happened to you earlier?" asked Inuyasha concerned.

"I'm not sure...Inuyasha, can I ask you something?" inquired Kagome.

Inuyasha didn't know what she was getting at but he nodded and said "anything."

Kagome took a deep breath then sighed and smiled.

"But before I ask you...can you take your hat off." said Kagome.

Inuyasha's eyes grew big and he started to but hesitated.

Kagome smiled and giggled.

"It's okay Inuyasha. I know you have dog ears." said said softly.

Inuyasha's heart stopped at that moment as he raised his eyes to meet hers. How did she know? Did she remember him? There were so many questions running through his head at a mile a second.

"How did you..."

"Don't you remember when I saw you a week ago before you attended the school? You jumped in the tree."

"Oh..." said Inuyasha saddened, thinking she might have remembered something.

But as she asked, Inuyasha removed his hat. She stared at his ears for a while and felt over come with an urge to touch them. She softly grabbed them and rubbed them even more softly. Inuyasha couldn't believe how good it felt. Normally, he would never let anyone touch his ears but Kagome was special to him, so he allowed her to. She smiled softly but then yet another image entered her mind. This time Inuyasha was pinned to the sacred tree by an arrow covered with vines.

Kagome took in a sharp breath and grabbed her head in pain.

"Kagome, what's wrong?!" demanded Inuyasha.

She just shook her head from side to side in return.

"I have no idea." said Kagome

Inuuyasha was pained to see Kagome suffering.

"Kagome, no matter what happens I just want you to know you will always be the number one in my heart." said Inuyasha grabbing her hand and snuzzeling it.

Kagome was filled with a rush of emotions, she then decided that she had to tell Inuyasha of all these images she had been getting.

(Outside Kagome's Room)

"Yes, tell him Miko!" said Naraku while thinking he could now completely take over Sota's body.

"Never." said Sota focusing all the energy he could muster up.

(Inside of Kagome's room)

"Inuyasha, laltely I've been having these images flowing through my mind of you, Sango, Miroku and I slaying monsters. And all the time I'm thinking of you in some way or form, I've even had a dream I saved your life." said Kagome.

Inuyasha couldn't speak. Was what he hoped for finally happening? Was his Kagome finally coming back to him?

"Kagome, those aren't dreams or images...those are memories. Your...no...OUR memories." said Inuyasha.

"Our memories? So you're saying that all these things really happened?" asked Kagome uneasily.

Just as the words escaped her lips yet another image entered her mind. Only in this one Inuyasha was holding someone that looked just like her, only older. He held her and said, "I will protect you Kikyo." in a sweet caring voice.

Kagome screamed in agony causing her mother to rush up stairs. Inuyasha was forced to jump out the window. In the door way, he saw Sota focusing all his energy with all his might. Inuyasha had to get Sango and Miroku, who were still at school.

Inuyasha jumped from tree to tree and was gone in no time. Kagome's mother finally calmed her, but she was burning up so she left her window open for a breeze and left.

Kagome opened her eyes and probed her room for Inuyasha but he was gone, he must have left when her mother came in.

"I must be with Inuyasha." said Kagome.

She climed out of bed and crawled for the window. She was weak and growing weaker yet she pressed forward. AS she jumped from the roof to the tree outside her window. She didn't get a good grip so she dangled, thinking she would fall to her death. She held on tight but then her mind began to race with thoughts.

"No, I'm not dying yet, not till I'm with Inuyasha again."

She held on tighter and got a good grip, as she grabbed the trunk of the tree and slid down. She began to stumble down the stairs and to the street. She didn't know where he was physically, but it was like she could feel him with every part of her being.

(At the School)

Inuyasha had already gotten to school and told Sango and Miroku about what Kagome had said to him. Kagome was in pain, he could feel it in every bone in his demon-like body. Everything was confusing for Inuyasha all he knew was that he needed to be with his beloved. Just as they rounded the corner to Kagome's house, Kagome's smell ran deep into his nose.

(Bottom of the stairs)

Kagome had just made it to the bottom of the stairs when she feel to the ground. Something was wrong. Some was coming...something unhabitable.

(Kagome's house)

Sota had been focusing for a very long time on keeping Kagome's life force from wavering too much was becoming very weak. Weaker by the minute, just as Sota fainted.

(Outside, Bottom of the stairs)

Kagome began to breathe sharply. She was experiencing an unbearable pain, she looked down at her body and found that it was glowing. Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku had just ran up to her side when she started to panic.

"Inuyasha, why am I in so much pain?" moaned Kagome through half parted lips.

"I don't know!" said Inuyasha wishing he knew.

Then Kagome grew silent. Everything was clear, all her memories, their memories, even her love for Inuyasha. Her skin glowed a dark purple and blood started to seep through her pale skin. Sango screamed and Miroku gasped in horrow while Inuyasha started crying wildly.

"Kagome, what's happening to you?" asked Inuyasha through the pain filled tears.

Kagome was screaming as her precious life liquid flowed out of her weak and helpless body. Then she felt nothing but the blood was seeping out faster than before. She knew she had died saving Inuyasha, and Naraku had brought her back. She looked over at Inuyasha and smiled an awkward smile.

"Don't cry Inuyasha. I can't feel it anymore." she said as she smiled a warm smile that caressed her features.

Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango were all in tears and unsure of what to do.

"I'm glad I remembered all of my memories. I could never fully rest in peace without them. I'll be alright, Inuyasha. Just please know that I loved you in return." said Kagome taking another sharp breath.

"Please Inuyasha grant me my last wish...please kiss me." said Kagome starting to fill the pain all over again.

Inuyasha nodded through the tears and leaned down and kissed Kagome lovely with all the passion he had ever wanted to release upon her. He could hear her thoughts.

"Wait for me!" they screamed fading.

He felt her life fading as he broke away from her lips and then she was gone. Just like before. Inuyasha had lost the the one woman who truely meant something to him, twice. Kagome had made him whole.

"I went out looking to find the missing peice of my soul...only to find it laid within you. But I found out too late..." muttered Inuyasha to himself shaking all over with anger and pain.

Inuyasha was infuriated as he heard the laugh of the one who had caused him pain one too many times. Inuyasha still held onto Kagome's lifeless body like he had before and mumbled.

"You WILL pay, YOU BASTARD!"
