Life as it Once Was
(Chapter 3)
(Lies of a Lost Soul)
Kagome packed all of her belongings. She didn't bother telling anyone, it would be to painful for them. She didn't want anymore stress on her shoulders. So eventually she headed out for the big world. She opened the Hirugrashi shrine that she had closed. She looked down the well, and with out any regrets she jumped. As she fell into the blue light, she noticed the opening close, and it would stay shut for eternity. Kagome pictured everyone back at her house. Her mother, her grandfather, and Sota. Never to be seen again. As she climbed out of the well, no one was there. Kagome was always used to InuYasha, Sango or even Miroku giving her a warm welcoming. Yet, not even Shippo was to be seen. As she walked around, she fealt so lonely. She walked in the cold night all by herself, for the first time in her life, she suffered fear and pain. That was the first time she had ever been scared. No one was there, Kagome began to regret everything she did in the past. Hojo was right there, but she ignored him, and InuYasha didn't even care. Even though he was there, she was all alone...all along. No one cared. She should have stayed with her family. She began to cry and jumped back down the well. She landed on the hard ground and cried even louder. She began to pound the ground. Her mind was full of emotions, anger, hatred, confusion, depression. Every one who was there, was now gone. She climbed back up the wall, still in the Fuetal era. Kagome began to walk off on her own. She walked to where her heart lead her, no one beside her. Or even to guide her. As she walked, she couldn't stop thinking of InuYasha. Why was he not there? Why wasn't Miroku even there? She just didn't want to be alone in the dark cold night. She even wished that Koga would find her, but sadly, he didn't even come. That was when she began to hear strange noises coming from the forest right next to her. InuYasha wouldn't be there to save her this time. A dark shadow walked through a shining light coming from the forest. Kagome couldn't see who it was since it was so dark out. She took out one of her arrows and pointed it at the persons direction. She shot it, but the shadowy figure simply summoned a powerful spell that blocked her attack. The figure continued to walk. Kagome could only make it out to be a man with long dark hair. As she looked carefully, her eyes widened when she realized it was none other than the half demon Naraku. Kagome looked at herself in disbelief, she ran back to the fuetal era for this? To be standing right in front of her most hated enemy. Yet, he didn't look so evil. He was very calm and looked as if he wanted to help her. "Kagome." He said in a very calm tone. Kagome stared at him in confusion. "What the hell do you want! You've put the hanyou through enough! Just go away!!!" Naraku shook off the words and walked closer. Kagome ran back to the well and jumped. Once again she hit the hard pavement. She got up and began to pound the ground again in frustration. Naraku slowly floated down and stood there watching her cry. "Just leave me alone!" She cried and climbed up the well. As he followed she ran as fast as she could. Naraku was getting tired of putting up a chase. He simply blocked her way by stepping in front. "InuYasha went back to Kikyo, he lost your sent as well as many of the other demons. You have been away to long, so InuYasha gave up hope. You and InuYasha blame me for screwing up love relationships, and yet you fall in love with InuYasha, Kikyo's love and then leave another person standing alone. Kikyo just couldn't stand Hojo living that fate." Naraku replied in a calm manner. "How do you know about Hojo?" Kagome asked in fear. "Because the mortal spirit inside of me is dead...Onigumo lies in the past, present and future. Unlike you, he does not have a reincarnation because he sold his life to demons, so his spirit will slowly die in the person who suffers the most pain...which would be Mr. Neglected Hojo." Kagome looked at him in anger and ran. He simply blocked her again. "Kagome, do you not understand? If you go back to InuYasha, you will find him with Kikyo, then you will suffer and Hojo will be released from the suffering, but you will have the worst fate!" Kagome looked up at him in anger. "Why do you care about it so much? Because I look like Kikyo? Just go away!" Naraku looked at her and tried to be even calmer. "No because, the heart of Onigumo still rests inside of me, and without Onigumo's heart I would have killed everyone by now. I am not asking something impossible, you just have to stop seeing InuYasha. He's taken. Whether you like it or not, Kikyo was there for him before you were." Kagome walked away. She thought to herself "He's lying, I don't believe a word he is saying. None of it's true...none. InuYasha would never want Kagome to leave, but all those times he chased Kikyo asking for forgiveness." Naraku stood there and waited for a reaction. All Naraku wanted was to collect the jewel fragments, so he could become more powerful then InuYasha. Naraku's best qualities were lying to his victims. Kagome couldn't believe him, she didn't have it in her heart to believe him. Why would she take the side of her most hated enemy. Naraku walked up to her and hugged her. She pulled away and pointed an arrow at him. He simply grabbed the bow and arrow and through it far off in the distance. She began to cry and Naraku then hugged her, trying to comfort her. She slowly began to gain his trust. Yet the more she trusted him, the more she fealt heart broken. Something was up, InuYasha would never want her to go away, would he? Was being with Naraku the best idea she ever made. Kagome began to consider it a mistake. Even though she had gained trust for him, she refused to go back to his castle. She would never go anywhere alone with that creep. "Fine, if you get into trouble just yell my name and I will send help." Naraku said as he left. kagome silently whipered to herself "yeah like I need you to fight my battles." Naraku somply smiled when he over heard that remark. That was why Naraku was going to put Kagome in danger so that she would call out for him. She sent Kagura to find a powerfull full fledged demon. As Kagome walked amongst the dark cold night, she couldn't help but realise loud foot steps coming from behind her, she turned around to find Goshinki, the powerful demon that broke InuYasha's Tetsiega in half. She paniced and ran. Goshinki followed ready to catch his dinner. "NARAKU!!!!!" With in seconds Kagura swept right passed the demon and grabbed Kagome. Kagura headed for the castle. Kagome thought to her self 'perhaps she would be safer at the castle...then again maybe not.' Kagome decided to give InuYasha one last chance before she gave up on him for good. Only if Naraku was planning on letting her out of the castle. As she arrived, Naraku looked back at her. "Just to let you know, you fell right into my trap, everything I just said was lie. InuYasha does still love you, but if he did tell me this, why did he not show up when you arrived here in the first place?" "SHUT UP, JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!"Kagome screamed in anger. Naraku simply gave a smirk and laughed. "You will be here for a long time, so don't get your heart on InuYasha saving you. He can not find the castle because he does not know the sent. Good night wench, dream about your family at home, you won't see them ever again.
