Crossing to the Other Side
By ImmortalAngel143
Last time-
" Well Yasha, it seems as though you passed. But was it that easy to control your anger? You didn't do any violence which was good." Midoriko said.
Yasha looked at the wall. "Keh, You know why I had controlled myself. By the way, do you know if Kagome will be okay?"
Midoriko smiled at Yasha. "Yes, she will be fine. If you have the courage to believe in her and that she will be okay."
Yasha looked at Midoriko and smiled a true smile he hadn't done in a long time. "Thanks Midoriko. Oh! When do I get the 8th test?"
Midoriko stared at Yasha and chuckled. " Your next test is to tell Kagome, when she wakes up, that you are..."
End-
Chapter 10: Impossible!
" Your next test is to tell Kagome, when she wakes up, that you are Inuyasha." Midoriko said.
Yasha froze. 'Tell Kagome I'm Inuyasha?' He thought. " Midoriko, If I tell her, is my test to see whether she cares or not?" He turned to where Midoriko was and found that she wasn't there. 'Sigh...'
Yasha was heading back into the room when he saw Miroku and Sango outside. " Hey guys, whats up?"
" Yasha, she's awake and has been asking for you." said Sango.
" Great." Yasha said, and went in.
" Hey Kags, how are you feeling?" said Yasha.
Kagome turned her head towards Yasha and smiled. She may have a sore head, but she feels at ease with him near. " Yasha! I'm so happy to see you."
Yasha hugged her, than sat down. " Kagome, I have to tell you something, that I think you're gonna hate me for."
" What's that, Yasha? What could I hate you for? You're perfect." Kagome smiled.
" Kagome," Yasha started, and grabbed Kagome's hands, " I'm really Inuyasha of Sengoku Jidai."
Kagome froze. She couldn't believe it. The guy that she had fallen in love with was actually her first love. ' It's not possible! Inuyasha's dead. There is just no way!' She thought.
" Kagome, I can understand if you don't love me anymore. But please, Yasha needs you." Yasha or Inuyasha said.
" Yasha, I...I, I don't think I could believe that you are Inuyasha. But I love Yasha. So I'm going to stick with you." Kagome said, smiling.
Yasha smiled at her. "Thanks Kagome. I'm not sure if you'll ever believe I'm Inuyasha, but at least I know you love Yasha."
Kagome smiled at him. She wished that she could believe he was Inuyasha. Well, he does have the looks and everything, but it's just not the same Inuyasha.
That night, Kagome layed in the hospital bed. She couldn't really sleep, all she thought of was Yasha being Inuyasha.
Kagome sighed. " I wish that I was back in the Sengoku Jidai, back before Inuyasha died."
A white light appeared in Kagome's room. Kagome sat up, frightened. ' What's that?' Kagome thought.
" Kagome Higurashi?" said the light.
" Yes? Who...who are you?" Kagome asked.
" I'm Midoriko, Keeper of Heavens. Whether you believe me or not is up to you, but I am the one giving Inuyasha another chance to live on earth. Here, in your time. All you have to do is believe that he is Inuyasha. Yasha may not be the same Inuyasha as he was then, but he's still the same in spirit. I have been giving Yasha tests so that if he passes them all he has the second chance to live. But, he is on his eighth test, if he doesn't pass this one he won't be able to live again. One wrong move, and it could be all over for Inuyasha and Yasha. I am not supposed to be telling you this, but I also want Yasha to live once more. He deserves it." Midoriko said with a smile, then just like she appeared, the light overcame her body and she disappeared.
Kagome was frozen. She was sure that hell just frozed over and heaven was begging her to just join them right now. ' Midoriko? Keeper of Heavens? I've read about her in the history books. I just didn't believe it, till now. So Yasha is really Inuyasha. If I don't believe him, I'll lose Yasha and Inuyasha all over again. I...I can't lose him again. I have to believe him, no matter what.'
She stood up from her bed and walked outside the room. Kagome looked around for Yasha. ' Well duh, he's probably back at home. It's already 9:46pm. Of course, he won't be here.' Kagome thought.
Kagome sat down on a waiting room chair. She was thinking to herself. ' How am I gonna tell Yasha that I believe him? It's almost the end of the day, and I'm sure that if I don't tell him soon, I'll lose him. I know! I'll call him.' She got up from the chair and headed towards the Nurse's desk.
" Excuse me, may I use the phone?" Kagome asked.
" Sure dear, just press nine, then the number." the nurse said, handing Kagome the phone.
Kagome punched in the numbers and waited for Yasha to pick up.
"Hello?" was heard on the other side of the phone.
" Yasha? It's me, Kagome." said Kagome.
" Kagome? Is something wrong?" said a worried Yasha.
" Would you mind coming to the Hospital? I need to tell you something." Kagome said, while twirling her hair.
"Sure Kagome, just give me about ten minutes." Yasha said, hanging up his side of the phone.
Kagome hung up her side and gave it back to the nurse. She walked towards the front of the Hospital, she stepped out saying she needed some fresh air.
Ten minutes later, a red marcedes stopped in front of the hospital. Yasha got out of the car and walked towards Kagome.
" What's wrong Kagome? What did you need to tell me?" Yasha said, holding her hand.
Kagome had her head down so her bangs were covering her eyes. " Yasha, I'm sorry. I believe you. I believe that you are Inuyasha. Please, let this be the last test for you. I don't wanna lose both of you again." Kagome cried into Yasha's chest.
Yasha's eyes widened. 'How does she know about the tests? I have to talk to Midoriko.'
" Kagome, I'm glad you believe me. But..." Yasha started off.
" But, what? Yasha?" Kagome asked.
" Well, how do you know about the tests?"
Kagome's eyes widened. She had forgotten that she had set that out loud. " Yasha, Midoriko told me about it. I well, I guess I believed you because of Midoriko."
Yasha's eyes turned from shocked to anger. " Baka! If Midoriko told you, it should have been kept between you and Midoriko. You probably ruined my chances now."
Kagome's eyes were filled with fear and sadness. " I, I'm so sorry Yasha. I didn't mean to say it out loud. It was meant for my ears only."
Yasha's face softened. "Shh, It's ok Kagome. People make mistakes. I just hope Midoriko understands this. I have to go. I'll be back tomorrow."
" Alright," said Kagome's soft voice. She walked with Yasha to her room and he kissed her goodnight.
Before Kagome went to bed, she thought to herself. 'Why couldn't I just believe Yasha the first time.'
'Because If you hadn't, then we would not have this talk. Don't worry, just you said something out loud on accident doesn't mean I'll do something bad. Don't lose hope. Good night.'
The voice spoke in Kagome's thoughts.
(Some where in the clouds...)
" My lady, you are not going to do anything?" said one of the followers of Lady Midoriko.
" No, Kagome said it on accident. Yasha will pass all his tests, I'm sure of it. Just two more tests to go." Midoriko said, looking down upon Kagome.
" Don't you think that Yasha has proven himself worthy of living?" said the follower.
" Yes, he did. But, Kagome needs to know that. That is why we are giving Yasha these tests." Midoriko said.
" I see, my lady."
A/N: So so so so sorry for the really really very very extra late chapter. I was enjoying my intersession and such. When we came back to school, I totally forgot about my fics. But, I'm back with another chappie I'll be working on my CCS fic after this. Please review :)
