Hey, don't thank me for updating, thank Captain Applesauce and Babypoo for cheering me up with great reviews! I thought no one liked me anymore! I felt so . . . betrayed!
This chappy will be like a song but its part of my story. Its called 'Heaven's a Lie' from Lacuna Coil. If you know this song, then you'll love this chappy!
Well, anyways, thank you Capt. Applesauce and Babypoo. This ones for you both:
"So, where are we going again?" Inu-yasha asked for the second time as he trotted behind the girl, Kagome still in his arms.
"Since you agree to this, were heading to a clearing to perform the ritual."
"R-Right . . ."
When Inu-yasha had agreed to trust her, she later mentioned that it was a ritual in an attempt to revive ones who's souls were incomplete, Kagome being the example. It had to do with Kagome's will to live. Depending as to how strong her soul is, she will succeed. The girl said that the soul could be unsure and may need some encouragement. That is where Inu-yasha comes in. He could help her if it is necessary.
How, though, remains a mystery.
"Speaking of the unknown . . ." Inu-yasha thought as he remembered something.
"Hey!" He called out to her. "You still haven't told me your name yet!"
She stopped and stayed quiet for a moment till she finally spoke. "Well I suppose I should tell you," She turned to him and smiled.
"My name is Sega," she said. "And I am here by accident to help you."
"Accident?"
"I can't tell you yet . . . but I will soon. I promise."
Inu-yasha blinked in surprise. The look on her face looked just like Kagome's when she promised something. And Kagome always kept her promises. Maybe she will keep her's. Inu-yasha came to a conclusion. "I can trust her."
He eyed the glowing Soul Sphere floating in her empty palm. He realized that it seemed to be the size of the Shikon Jewel, but its color was white. Part of him couldn't believe that there was such a thing and that it was part of Kagome! But it felt like it was her. Even from a distance it felt like Kagome's warmth. It even had a scent (which shocked Inu-yasha beyond belief), and it smelled just like Kagome. He couldn't help but be drawn to it. When Kagome's scent faded, he thought he would never smell her wonderful smell again. But that sphere brought him hope somehow. It filled his nose with her scent again. That's enough proof for him to believe.
"Were here."
He looked around. It was just a field of grass. No trees in sight for miles. To him it seemed the perfect clearing for a battle field.
"Are you ready?"
He was hesitant. "Y-Yeah."
"Are you sure?"
". . . No. But if it means to bring back Kagome . . . then I'll do anything."
"Very well. Place her on the ground and stand back a couple feet away."
He did so, placing Kagome on the ground so slowly, as if she were to break, and stood back.
"Maybe you should stand back a yard or two more back."
"Yard?!"
"Yes, a yard now BACK UP!"
At first he wanted to stay put, but one look from Sega sent him farther than a yard.
He watched as the Soul Sphere was slowly floating down to Kagome. As the sphere entered, its light faded as it disappeared into Kagome, right over her heart everything remained quiet. No sound was heard. Kagome was still on the ground, not even a twitch from her. He was confused. Did it work?
A thump beside him shook him from his thoughts. It was Sega, looking expectantly at Kagome. "Now we wait."
Inu-yasha suddenly twitched his ears as he heard a sound. It sounded like music, but he didn't recognize it. It sounded like a rise in energy, but it felt spiritual as well. As the sound started to rise, he reverted his eyes to Kagome . . . and she started to move! Then suddenly, as if someone was lifting her back, she started to rise. Then she started to float, but she looked like she was flying. At that same moment, she circled her arms around herself, her head bent down with her bangs shading her eyes, her feet dangling from where she floated. She shook.
Suddenly the music became strong, and light shot up under Kagome, leaving her in a beam of light from below. It came out like a guiser, shooting to the heavens like running water. The light was so strong it practically burned the grass around it. Kagome in it had her mouth open as if the strong music was coming from her voice. She seemed to be screaming with the music.
Then, her head shot up and seemed to glare at both of them. Words appeared from her mouth, but it wasn't her voice.
Oh, no . . .
Here it is . . . again
I . . need to know . . .
When I will fall in de-cay
It was colder . . .
Something wrong . . .
With every plan . . . of my life
I didn't really . . . notice that you've been here
But Kagome looked so sorrowful . . .
Dole-fully desired . . .
Des-tiny of a lie . . .
The force suddenly became stronger and faster.
Set me free—
Your—heaven's a lie.
Her eyes directed to Inu-yasha.
Set me free with your love.
Set me free.
He was taken aback.
Set me free—
Your—heaven's a lie.
Set me free with your love
Set me free.
The music lowered a bit, as the glow started to slowly change. She still looked at him with a need of help. Inu-yasha growled in frustration, knowing there was nothing to ease her pain. He had to wait.
The voice returned, still the same as before
Oh, no . . .
Here it is . . . again . . .
I need . . . to know . . .
Why did I choose . . . to be-tray you
Something wrong . . .
With all the plans . . . of my life . . .
I didn't re-alize . . . that you've been here
Kagome looked at him so sorrowfully.
Dole-fully desired . . .
She reached a hand out to him.
Des-tiny of a lie . . .
He saw a tear fall from her eyes.
Set me free—
Your—heaven's a lie.
Set me free with your love
Set me free.
She struggled with every word
Set me free—
Your—heaven's a lie.
Set me free with your love
Set me free.
The light seemed to go wild as Kagome started struggling. Its force becoming stronger.
"Now!!" Sega screamed at him.
"Wha-?!"
"Go and reach for her hand! She's loosing control! She needs reassurance!"
He wasted no time and bounded off towards the light, reaching for Kagome. He jumped easily through the wall of light and reached for her outstretched hand. She cried harder and tried to reach his hand as she spoke the words.
Dole-fully desired . . .
Their hands clasped each others. The music slowed and time seemed to stop.
Set me free—
Your—heaven's a lie
Kagome smiled at him.
Set me free with your love
Set me free
The sound strengthened . . .
Set me free—
Your—heaven's a lie
. . . The force powerful . . .
Set me free with your love
Set me free.
. . . But Inu-yasha refused to let go.
Set me free—
Your—heaven's a lie.
Set me free with your love,
Set me free.
Everything stopped. The sound starting to fade, as the light slowly disappeared. Inu-yasha opened his eyes to find himself still gripping Kagome's wrist tightly. But, when he realized that he didn't feel anything below him, he looked down to find that he was floating in mid air! He panicked, but suddenly stopped when he felt a light grip from the hand holding Kagome. He turned to her to see her smiling face beaming at him.
"Inu-yasha . . ."
Inu-yasha just smiled right back, a smile wider than hers.
"KAGOME!!"
He pulled her to him, embracing her with all his might. With such a force, he started spinning in the air with her. Inu-yasha felt Kagome returning the embrace with just as much force as he. He practically buried himself in her hair and scent, reassuring himself that she was there. He was so distracted with the girl in his arms, that he never realized that he was slowly being lowered to the ground, until he felt his knees touch the ground.
Inu-yasha pulled back slightly to see Kagome, his face now filled with worry.
"Are you alright, Kagome?!"
Kagome looked at him with tired eyes. Her eyes widen a bit, as if she discovered something. "Oh, Inu-yasha, look at you . . ." she lifted her hand to his cheek and rubbed it softly. "You're a mess."
He smiled at the irony, yet he said nothing. He just leaned his head in her palm, asking for more.
"Inu-yasha . . ." Kagome said. "Are you . . were you crying . . . before-?"
She was interrupted as she was once again pulled into Inu-yasha's embrace, leaving no room between them. "I . . I was." He said shakily. "I-I thought you were dead, Kagome. I . . . I couldn't feel any warmth from you. You felt so . . . so lifeless that . . . that I thought---"
He stopped as he felt some thing on his ear. Kagome was petting both ears! He couldn't believe it. No one, not even Kikyo, ever petted his ears. He never let anyone near them, yet here was Kagome, petting them ever so slowly. He did nothing but quietly lean his head on Kagome's shoulder, letting her do what she wanted.
"It's okay, Inu-yasha." She quietly whispered to him. I'm right here . . .and I'm not . . . ever . . . going to leave you . ."
Inu-yasha noticed that she wasn't going to stay up that long. "She must be exausted." He thought. He pulled back, letting Kagome rest her head on his shoulder. She looked at him confused.
"Go ahead and sleep," he reassured her. "I'll be right here."
She smiled at him. "Thanks . . ." She was asleep in an instant.
Inu-yasha smiled. He lifted Kagome in his arms and shifted her into a more comfortable position. Suddenly, he stiffened as he heard something shift in front of him. He looked up, but relaxed when it was only Sega.
"She alright?" She asked.
"Yeah," he answered.
She smiled. "Good." She turned and, to Inu-yasha's surprise, started walking away.
"Hey!" He called out. "Where are you going?!"
"I'll be back in the morning to explain the rest," she called back. "I promise."
"O-Okay . . .but-"
"Return to your friends before the cat demon worries and blames me." She interrupted. When they left the camp, Kirara wasn't at all happy and almost pounced on Sega until Inu-yasha reassured her that it was safe. Now, after all the noise, Kirara could be in a state panic.
As Sega walked away, Inu-yasha called out to her again. "Oh, wait!"
She stopped and turned her head to face him.
"I just . . . wanted to say . . ." He looked at her with a grateful smile and said. "Thank you."
She blinked in surprise. Then, she smiled. "Sure."

Finally, I'm finished!
