Yet another chappy-I'm not sure whether Kagome will come back completely the way she was, but her and Inu will definately get back together by the end! ENJOY!
Chapter 10
"There is none-If I were to purify the jewel with everything I had, both I and the jewel would be destroyed-this is a cost I would willingly pay to have peace again..."
"Shut up miko...you may be willing to pay such a price, but no one else is-your soul would be locked in yet another shikon jewel and there would be two of those horrid things in exisence. Demons would run rampid over he country and we would be submerged into chaos with no miko to purify either. We will destroy the heart my way..." The lord of the western lands stepped into the moonless clearing with digust plastered on his face-staring at the girl with cold eyes.
"I brought back Inuyasha in hopes you would forget your own selfish ambitions and return to your peaceful ways, but it seems you have not surcome to your own feelings as of yet and I grow impatient." Kagome's glance shifted between the three, none of which she thought to be loyal allies. "What do you want with Naraku's heart? I must know it will not fall into destructive hands-he was a vile thing and must never reclaim his soul." "Give me the heart and I give you my word that it will be destroyed this night." Kagura looked a little confused and suspicious. "If this miko cannot purify it, how do you contain the power to do so?" Sesshomaru arched a brow at the question. "I will use my sword to weaken the heart, then the miko can subdue the evil with her own."
"Alright-Kanna, Kagura...you must keep Kouga or any intruders occupied-we cannot afford interruptions. Sesshomaru..." Kagome gestured a moment as she gave orders, then pulled out her small pouch and spilled the jar into her hand. "You and I will end this here." Kagome quickly set up a barrier around the two-much more powerful than any barrier Kagura had ever seen. Kanna and Kagura then kept watch over the barriered area form outside it's blueish walls.
"Ready yourself." Kagome pulled out her sword, the engravings glowed with her essence as she fed her own energy into it's blade-the flow around it getting stronger as she forced everything she had into it. Sesshomaru drew out his Toukijin, watching as Kagome threw the bottle onto the ground. The heart pulsed massively, breaking open the jar.

Inuyasha ran to the edge of the village with Miroku and Kirara. Sango watched from the door of the hut. Everyone sensed it. "What is that? It feels so strongly-many great energies combining-I have never felt such a power!" Miroku clenched his fists in fear for Kagome's safety. Everyone had her on their minds-they knew what ever was happening-she was a part of it. "Stupid girl! I told her not to go out tonight!" Inuyasha began to race into the deep shadows of the forest alongside Miroku, his demon speeds left him wishing to go faster toward the energies that even his human form could sense easily.
Kouga was already at the barrier, looking past Kagura and Kanna toward Kagome and Sesshomaru. "KAGOME! What do you think you are doing!? I told you to stop being so wreckless! DO YOU EVEN LISTEN ANYMORE!" "Shut up foolish wolf! You will deal with me now-milady has other matters to attend to." Kagura smiled, whipping open her fan between her fingers. "Kagome is none of your concern right now!"
"KAGURA!?" Inuyasha stopped short as he looked angrily over his enemies face. Kagome heard Inuyasha's voice in the background-she didn't want to look, but her head snapped to meet his eyes attentitively. Sesshomaru looked at his brother's human form with a slight smirk, then called Kagome back to his attention. "Kagome...stay focused..." Kagome pried her eyes away-pouring more of herself into her sword than she thought possible until she felt as if she would surely die of exhausted spirits. "This is it."
Sesshomaru brought his sword down to meet the jewel precisely, touching it in a moment and it began to crack, evil black aura simply poured from the crevices and Kagome took only a breathe before Sesshomaru was thrust back in a rush of power and Kagome was sinking her sword into the black hollows of the jewel. No shattering could be seen or heard, only a blinding light that blanketed the area. Kagome lost herself a moment, hearing Inuyasha call her name in the exact way he called Kikyo back to life-and it broke her down completely.
"Ka-KAGOME?!" Kagome looked around her feet, which had somehow left the ground. Now she was held in Sesshomaru's arms far above the forest. "The jewel?! Was it?" She searched his eyes a moment and he nodded in confirmation. "Hai young miko-you destroyed it gracefully." Kagome smiled in satisfaction. "Good..." Kagome let herself drist off into a deep sleep. Sesshomaru let his body slip down to the earth again, standing amid the companions of the woman in his arms. Inuyasha and the rest were momentarily blinded by the rush of power and light, but they shook their eyes clear and gazed at the limp kagome in the demon lord's arms. "Is she-- NO..." Miroku stepped forward in disbelief. The sun rising in the background phased no one but Inuyasha, who felt his youkai strengths returning as he clenched his teeth in disgust at the sight before him.
"She is alive-barely..." Inuyasha's fists clutched tighter. "Give her to me Sesshomaru..." Sesshomaru wasn't waved by Inuyasha's persuasion, he merely passed the miko body off to Kagura who stood by his side. "Take her." Sesshomaru began to walk off into the shadows, as everyone eagerly watched Kagome. "Kagura! Give her back now!" All the men were staring daggers at the youkai woman. "Of course..." Kagura walked up casually to Inuyasha, passing her off into his arms while his face bcame a blank confusion. 'Was it really this easy?' "Kagura! One more thing...what were you all doing out here?" Kagura pulled her feather forth, hopping on it with her sister. "We were destroying what little remained of Naraku...now he is nonexistent..." Kagura smiled, laughing slightly as she was carried off.
Inuyasha and the rest rushed Kagome back to the village, keeping watch over her in Kaede's hut. "I don't understand Kaede...I thought you said she should have woken up already..." Shippo pleaded for answers as he rested beside Kagome's lifeless body. "Aye child...she seems to be dwindling between life and death-but she has no serious wounds or poison..." Kaede shook her head in dismay. "I fear...the poor child's soul may be no longer willing to stay with us..." Shippo stared at Kagome in disbelief. "NO Kagome! You can't leave me! Don't go!" Inuyasha layed in the corner of the hut, remembering the day he had died.
'I remember...I didn't want to stay here either-I wanted to be at peace...but-Kagome called to me, she was more important to me than death... and I wanted to stay but I was pulled back and...Kagome you can't leave me...' Inuyasha was pulled ino an unwilling sleep. He stood at the very place Kagome had been. He was standing in the snow, looking out over a lake at Kagome-she was so beautiful in a long flowing gown. "Kagome..." Kagome stood in the middle of the lake, her feet touching the water silently, making small ripples that extended out to both sides. She looked at the sky, just as she had been doing for the longest time now.
She heard her name called out and her eyes fell upon Inuyasha. She smiled, her disposition returning to her own peaceful and kind nature, while her bitterness still dragged within. "Inuyasha...I understand now...but I..." Inuyasha shook his head. "No Kagome! I will come with you! Don't leave me-please..." Kagome's weak smile sighed. "Hai...I remember-I am so selfish...I wanted you to stay with me...but I never could have gone with you...I wasn't willing to follow you into death-I had things holding me down...they still are..." Inuyasha looked confused and kept staring at Kagome. "I stood there Inuyasha...in that spot...see the blood and tears at your feet? I cried there-for you...and I died there-for you..." Kagome looked at the water beneath her feet, every few seconds, the reflection changed-showing her the life she once knew.
"Kagome..but I-" Kagome looked at him solemnly now, cutting his words off in the back of his throat. "You have to go now Inuyasha..." Kagome's head tilted back to the water beneath her as Inuyasha watched his vision blur. "But I don't want to leave you!" Inuyasha's hands went instictively reaching for Kagome, but it was no use, he was sitting up in the hut again-pulled back to reality.

Welps-guess you have to wait for the next chappy to find out if Kagome survived. WHAT IF SHE DIDN'T! Well, Inuyasha will probly kill himself to be with her...but then again...she could be alive! R&R!
