Chapter 11
Inuyasha was alone in the hut with Kagome's limp form before him. Night had fallen-he supposed the others were talking in Sango and Miroku's hut now, but he didn't care-his dreams disturbed him and he couldn't imagine leaving Kagome's side for even a moment. "Stupid girl...you can't leave us-I won't allow it..." Inuyasha's eyes softened, a sliver of the moon hung in the humid night skies, surrounded by a million stars. Inuyasha watched the burning orbs through a window, where small tinges of light poured in.
He layed beside Kagome, tracing each feature on her face over and over. "Kagome...you can't leave before I can apologize...I want to tell you-tell you about all those things I never said before...please come back to me..." Inuyasha sat in the shadows now-awaiting the time when she would awake.
But Kagome wasn't sure how to wake up. She stood in the middle of that lake for what seemed like days, watching her skies reflected at her feet. She wasn't sure which path to choose, one step toward a warm inviting summer would mean leaving all her pain and bitterness for something better, but she would also be choosing to leave her friends behind. "Inuyasha...if only..." Kagome let her voice trail off, then looked back to the wintery life of the person she had become. "Choosing life means choosing to die a little everyday...but at least I would be with my family...and Inuyasha....How could I leave all of them behind..." Kagome smiled; her eyes glassed lightly. "I suppose I couldn't...."

It doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I've left behind me
is a cold room
I've crossed the last line
from where I can't return
where every step I took in faith
betrayed me
and led me from my home
And sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give
You take me in
no questions asked
you strip away the ugliness
that surrounds me
are you an angel
am I already that gone
I only hope
that I won't disappoint you
when I'm here
on my knees
And sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give
Sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give
And I don't understand
by the touch of your hand
I would be the one to fall
I miss the little things
I miss everything about you
It doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I left behind me
is a cold room
And sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give
A tear eascaped Kagome's brown hues, tenderly flowing down her face as she watched it hit the waters, creating a series of ripples.Just as she was about to take a step and choose her path, she felt the waters beneath her diminish. She watched confused as a deep black hole cracked open from the place her tear had fallen. She wasn't sure what to do, and by the time she could even think of fear-she was swallowed up by the consuming nothingness.
At first she thought she was falling, but then on further examination, she wasn't sure what was happening-and now all she wanted was to return to Inuyasha and the life she once knew-were her security layed within herself and she relied on no one. She felt herself becoming weak-her vision and conciousness leaving her and she fell victim to it.
Kagome found herself waking up-her eyes fluttered opened slowly and she sought out the presences within the hut-but to her disbelief, she wasn't in a hut...she was outside, in a sleeping bag. 'Where am I....how did I get out here...' She looked around, and shocked to see a small Shippo curled in her lap, Miroku and Sango on the other side of the fire and Inuyasha in a tree-just like old times. Her brow furrowed in confusion and her head ached with groggy pain-she thought she was decieved-perhaps she was having another cruel dream, one that taunted her of her happier days; but she knew she wasn't dreaming. "Inuyasha? Whats going on?" She looked down, almost frightened by what she was wearing. "MY UNIFORM! WHERE DID I- WHAT THE!!" Kagome stumbled to her feet, startling everyone from their sleep with her frightened outbursts. "Kagome...what's wrong!?" Shippo rubbed his eyes in concern as he rolled up from the ground.
"WHATS WRONG!? Why am I wearing this! MY SWORD! Where is my Kinjai?!" Kagome looked around frantically, backing away from the camp with true fear replacing her warm eyes. "Kagome? Calm down! What are you talking about? I'm sure you were just having a nightmare..." Sango inched toward her, trying to soothe her fears in vain. Kagome was almost trembling-her memories were so confused. "But I...no...what's going on..." She searched her memories. She found them all intact-but this wasn't right. 'How can I be here? And where is here? I'm not dreaming...I can't be! But then..how....' Her friends were passing concerned glances back and forth. Inuyasha was especially concerned. "Kagome...are you ok? What's going on with you?"
"Sango-Miroku? What are you doing out here? Where is Kasaku? Did you leave him with Kaede??" Kagome tried rationalizing within herself, but found it uncontrollably frustrating as everyone gave her strange looks. Sango stepped forward to convey everyone's thoughts. "Kagome...who is Kasaku?" Kagome bit her lip. "You don't remember...he is your son!" Sango and Miroku were taken back with confused looks. Shippo regained the humor-"Is there something you guys want to tell us?"- giving them a sly and innocent look. Sango and Miroku blushed to brilliant shades of red while assuring everyone that nothing was going on.
Kagome's hues searched the ground, fear falling into the corners of her heart, as her cold countenance once again took over. Her eyes glazed with bitter feelings she locked away and her voice sank with deep regret and she began to walk away from the group. "Kagome! Where are you going!? Get back here!" Kagome turned-flashing looks over the group of which they had never seen from Kagome. They all felt that something had changed-but they didn't know what. They were very suprised when Kagome turned, taking off at a run with speeds that could almost compare to Inuyasha.
'At least I have retained my power and strength...but this uniform-I can't stand it now...' Kagome rushed through the forest, heading for Kouga's cave to see if he was changed as well, but who she ran into along the way-would destroy her trust in this world for good. "Kikyo?! What are YOU doing here?! You are dead!" Kagome looked over the clay miko in disgust.
