A/N: Yet another song in this chappy-I love songs! I don't own Evanescence : Haunted
Chapter 12
'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.
"Yes...but don't look so suprised...you know I have been dead for quite sometime now..." Kikyo gave a confident smirk."I watched you die beside Inuyasha...your body's dust return to the earth like ashes...it's impossible-how are you...." Kagome backed off, letting the darkest places of her heart reflect in her eyes-now cold and lonely as she stared at Kikyo's form. "I don't know where I am or why I came back here...but you would be smart to stay away from me..." Kikyo's smiled fell into anger and confusion. "I am fine..but...Your countenance has changed, has it not? You are altered in some way...."
Kagome walked righ passed Kikyo, pausing side by side with her, but never breaking her gaze ahead. "You heard what I said...Unless you wish to be layed to rest...do not cross me..." Kikyo was stunned in the girl's sudden confident bitterness. Anger boiled within her and Kagome was overwhelmed with pleasure and pain for seeing her dead counterpart. 'Now...to deal with more important matters...how do I get out of here?' Kagome kept running, until she found herself in a familiar spot- under a certain tree.
She looked around, then her vision blurred, or so she thought, but after a moment she realized that the scenery was blurring, from day to night. Two scenes collided in and out with each other, every second changing from one to another. The first being the one Kagome had come up on-the clear summer area under the Goshimboku tree, sun pouring through the trees. The second, being the one she had known for a year now. Inuyasha's grave erected with trinkets around a large stone next to the tree, the stars twinkling above her.
'Am I going crazy...or just waking up from a dream?" Kagome reached back instictively to her scars. "Hai, my scars are still there...so this past year...it really did happen..." Suddenly, Kagome heard an all-too familiar voice around her-echoing in the summery forest as the scene stabilized. "Kagome...How nice of you to come to my world..." Kagome's eyes went wide. "Naraku...." She looked around frantically, finally seeing his figure appear in the shadows of the forest. "Hai...I was stuck inside that jewel for a year...but now you have released me." His cold voice held a tinge of pleasure that sent chills up Kagome's spine. "What are you talking about....We destroyed you!" Naraku chuckled slightly in his ominous way. "No my dear...you destroyed the heart, but not the soul...my essence transferred into your body..I planned to put you to good use.."
"This place...where have you taken me? How did you change everyone!?" Kagome stared angrily at him for sometime. "Kagome...I have taken you nowhere-You are simply trapped in your own mind, in a world I created from your memories...Do you like it here?" "No! You will die Naraku...I will destroy you..." Kagome flared with a passionate miko energy. A firery blueish aura surrounded her, Naraku watched as he uniform turn into her new outfit of a slayer, her hand instictively went to her hilt, where Kinjai appeared at her sash.
"Prepare yourself!" But before Kagome could do anything more, she found herself transerred into another memory, almost as if she were coming out of a daydream and into a nightmare. She was surrounded by the one memory she had truly suppressed. She watched as Inuyasha rushed toward Naraku, and as he began to gain the upperhand, the tables turned. Kikyo appeared from the shadows just as she remembered-she heard him call her name...taking his attention from the battle for only a moment, but a moment too long. She screamed his name several times, tears burning in her throat as she watched her love die again. But Naraku was not defeated...this was the real Naraku unside her body. "You ruined my life...it was all your fault!" Kagome lifted the arrow that appeared from the memory, shooting toward Naraku-who easily evaded it. "Come now Kagome...I will not fall for the same trick twice..."
Soon the memory faded away, all Kagome saw was darkness. She soon made out two figure's in the dark, hearing their words. Kikyo's body crawled toward Inuyasha's form. "Inuyasha...now we will be together..." Her body went to dust, but Kagome kept gazing at Inuyasha, holding back tears that blurred her image. "Kagome..." Kagome heard Inuyasha call her name and there was nothing she oculd do, the tears toppled from her eyes despite her best efforts to hold them in. "Inuyasha..."
Now Kagome felt it, everything flowed to the surface and she lost herself within it. Her powers seeped through every piece of her mind-every memory Naraku had tainted, erasing his effects...ultimately erasing him. "I told you Naraku...I would destroy you..." Naraku's last laughs could be heard echoing in the distance. "Hai... miko...you destroyed me-but at what cost to yourself..." Kagome fell to her knees, her hands immediately caught her against the ground, her blood was dripping from her ripped clothing in the front. She bit her lip against the pain, letting tears caress her cheeks smoothly as she fell victim to the exhaustion.
--Evanescence : Haunted --
long lost words whisper slowly to me
still can't find what keeps me here
when all this time i've been so hollow inside
i know you're still there
watching me wanting me
i can feel you pull me down
fearing you loving you
i won't let you pull me down
hunting you i can smell you - alive
your heart pounding in my head
watching me wanting me
i can feel you pull me down
saving me raping me
watching me
watching me wanting me
i can feel you pull me down
fearing you loving you
i won't let you pull me down

Welps...i could have gone a number of good ways with this...but i just went like this...I hope it clears some things up-believe me, if its still a bit foggy, the next chappy will have everything much clearer! R&R!
