Chapter 4
'InuYasha... Where are you...? Whats going on...?'
All Kagome could see was darkness.
'Sango...? Miroku...?'
No one was there.
'Shippo...!'
No one answered besides Kagome's own voice being echoed. Kagome was all alone in the darkness.
'Kirara! Somebody answer me!'
"So it's you..."
Kagome jerked her head to see whothe voice had come from. No one was there.
Yet the voice seemed familiar...
'...Kikyo...?'
Kikyo appeared before her with a dark green aura surrounding her.
'Kikyo, where in the world are we?'
'Where are the others? Where are Sango and Miroku?'
'And Shippo and Kirara? And InuYasha too--?'
"InuYasha is not of your concern anymore."
Kagome turned her head to face her.'What do you mean...?'
Kikyo smirked at her reincarnation,"You don't belong in this time. You never have and you never will. InuYasha is not yours. He's mine."
Kagome could'nt believe what she was hearing. But she wasn't about to let Kikyo make a fool out of her.
'There is no way I'll let you diss me like you own the world! I will not let you let you standhere like you own InuYasha!He's not your property!'
"... We'll see..." Kikyo's soul stealers appeared from no where and picked up Kagome. Kagome tried to scream but couldn't.
'Kikyos' back to her own tricks again.' Thought Kagome bitterly.
Kagome thought she heard her name. Kikyo turned as if she had heard it too.
"We shall see who he chooses." She turned to her eyes to Kagome as she snickered.
"He...? No, not InuYasha...!" Kagome's mouth was moving but as she knew the only person wh could hear her was Kikyo, and she didn't give a damn about Kagome.
"Kagome!"
'That's InuYasha!' Kagome knew he wouldn't be able to see her but...
"InuYash-!" Kagome looked around as she saw senary appearing.
'It looks just like that one time...' Kagome's thoughts trailed off. 'Am I dreaming of the past...? Is this going to turn out the same wayas last time...?'
InuYasha appeared out of the brush and saw what Kagome willed not to ever happen again.
"...Kikyo..." InuYasha stared right at Kikyo as she put on her innocent little act which pissed Kagome off. BIG TIME.
"No! I don't want this!" Kagome was going through the same tourment that had tourchered her thoughts and her heart ever since that day. "I hate this! I don't want to remember!"
Kikyo ignored her as she stepped closer to InuYasha.
"Kikyo stop it!" Kagome felt the first tear of tourment comming forward. And she felt every single emotion come back to her all over again. "You can stop this! I know you can!"
Then it hit her.
'Kikyo is already dead. She's just an illusion.'
Everything started to fade as Kagome's eyes started to close. Evrything was fadding, except for the heartbreaking memory.
Don't leave me InuYasha. I need you.
Kagome's eyes flickered open as she saw her friends' worried faces.
"Kagome are you alright?" asked the panicking Shippo who was getting on InuYasha's nerves. Kagome had been given a minor concussion from hitting her head on the well.
'They're all here... they're all ok...' Kagome sighed deeply and replied to Shippo's question.
"I'm alright Shippo," she smiled sweetly at the conserned fox demon.
"Here." Sango handed Kagome a wet towel.
"So what exacally happened?" asked Miroku, as Kagome put the wet cloth on her forehead,"I sensed a strong demonic aura."
"It was a damn cat demon."said InuYashawith a disgusted face, as he stared out the door.
"Do you think this demon is after our jewel shards?" Miroku asked, "Or do you suppose it has the last jewel shard?"
InuYasha turned his head to look at the monk, "It doesn't have the jewel shard."
"How would you know?" Asked Sango, eyeing the hanyu.
"Because Kagome would have sensed it." He snapped.
Kagome felt her blood turn cold, she was filled with guilt and it was a terrible feeling. She felt so bad that she felt she had to lie... especially to InuYasha...
