---The Prophecy That Was Destined To Join---
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho.
Before I start, I just want to tell you that Yabureta means broken or torn. I'm sorry that this chapter is pretty short.
No one's reviewing…
Am I really loosing readers?
Chapter 22: A Spark of Happiness
Genkai's Temple…
He watched as the desperate cousin shook her shoulders in agony. Seconds passed, as it seemed like long, dreadful hours.
And then it came, her last intake of breath.
At that moment, all the Reikai people and demons felt a pull at their soul and their energy slowly started to fade. All of them had faces of terror, not knowing what was happening.
Botan, Yukina, Yusuke, ((half-demon, remember?)) Hiei, Kirara, and Shippo ((Sorry! I keep on forgetting them!)) Sagged against the wall for support. Kurama leaned over the bedpost.
He was desperate now. Kurama then did the first thing that came to his mind as a last effort to save her.
He kissed her.
In Kagome's Mind…
She felt like she was drowning, suffocating in a sea of black void.
Going into a slight hysterics, Kagome reached out and tried to grab hold of something, anything. It was eerie being in the position she was in. It felt as if she was sinking and floating at the same time. A black, sticky substance seemed to coat Kagome's skin as she closed her eyes.
No one was there.
As I lie here, I can't help but wonder why the world feels so isolated? Maybe it's the many deceiving times to feel and watch. Or maybe it is just the inky darkness that surrounds my heart and soul, encasing it in a cage of despair.
Through the minutes, I ask myself, what have we done? Groups led to the sole purpose of power and money, filled with ignorance and betrayal. Only the aware and the fit were meant to live. But I guess it really wasn't meant to be. Fate is cruel.
You could drown in your sorrows and talk it out. Others would turn to sake. Maybe this was just the bleary truth. The world is turning dark. Or maybe it's just the dormant way I feel right now. Helpless…
I would atone for my past sins, but I think, what have I done to deserve this? Was the demon realm really meant in the end to disappear without a trace, as if it never existed in the first place? Regret seems to shine the most out of my thoughts. But what have I ever regretted before? My decisions are always made quickly, so I don't think much about it. That is the way I don't regret. Yet I regret…
Torn between life and death, the essence of your soul, decisions made quick, hesitating, to yield.
Broken by spirit, dull eyes closed up, no more spark, torturing mind and body, meaningless, clouded by sorrow.
Yabureta…
Kagome felt weaker by the second. Her life force was beginning to drain from her. Alone. She felt sorely alone…
What was that? Her lips felt warm all of a sudden and Kagome felt her life moving back into her. Roses…it smelt like roses. It was a familiar scent, but from where…?
Kurama…it was Kurama…
Genkai's Temple…
All the people in the room startlingly felt better all of a sudden. They turned their head to see Kagome shoot straight up in the bed in shock, a surprised Kurama tumbling to the ground. He bolted back up as soon as the realization came to him that Kagome was now ok.
"Kagome!" he whispered, hugging her gently.
Kagome hugged him tighter; "Kurama, I thought something bad happened to you!" she started crying.
"Something did, but I'm ok now" he comforted her, cradling her in his arms.
"KAGOME!" Everyone else in the room yelled. ((Most…ahem…Hiei…))
She became overwhelmed by all the hugs she received and got plowed over by relieved people.
Kurama chuckled quietly, "Guys, I believe that Kagome needs air in order to survive" he noted out.
"Oh yeah…" was their smart reply.
"It's good to have you back, Kagome" Miroku told her, hugging Botan lightly.
There were murmurs of agreement.
Everyone and everything was safe now. All was left was the battle with Karasu as soon as he finds out that Kurama was gone. Karasu had gotten stronger, and more overconfident…
But for now, they would have to enjoy the rest of the time left with each other.
