Chapter 5: May angels lead you in
Kagome's mother continued to embrace her crying, depressed daughter.
"Dear has something happened to Inuyasha?" asked Mrs. Higurashi.
"No." Was all Kagome could say as she continued whaling.
"You can stay home from school today and I'll make you some soup. Get some rest." Mrs. H said as she rubbed Kagome's back. Kagome didn't reply and just whimpered. "I'll go drive Sota to school. When I come back I expect to see you in bed." She got up and left. 'Oh Inuyasha, what have I done?' Kagome thought sadly.
She suddenly had a horrible feeling in her gut. It was as if something was wrong with Inuyasha.
Kagome stood up. 'Please, No.' She thought panicking. She ran downstairs - past her mother and out the door to the well house.
Her mother's eyes followed Kagome out the door in surprise.
"Now where could she be going?"
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed as she jumped into the well, but hit the hard bottom floor. Tears fell faster from her eyes now as she banged on the well out of frustration and in a manner as if it would get her to the feudal era.
The horrible feeling in her gut wouldn't go away. Inuyasha was suffering.
"INUYASHA! NO!" Kagome screamed with all her might in a screechy voice. 'Don't die on me now!' Her fist became bloody and started to swell.
"Kagome!" Kagome looked up and saw her brother looking down at her in worry. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Kagome mumbled leaning her back against the wall of the well. "Just go away." Her eyes hid beneath her bangs.
Sota didn't respond and left his sister alone in the dark well house. 'Baka-Inuyasha. You're always going and getting yourself hurt or in trouble.' Kagome thought pitifully.
Meanwhile
"Sango!" Miroku called as he ran through the door. Sango was sitting petting Kirara. She looked up at him.
"What's wrong?" Sango asked.
"It's a demon. There is word one had been slaughtering random villagers."
"What kind of demon?"
Meanwhile
He slashed another innocent begging family without care. 'No, stop!' He thought. He still had no control over his body.
Suddenly he stopped and sniffed the air. 'What the... it's tears and blood, but... why is Kagome's mixed in?'
Inuyasha wanted desperately to go and check on Kagome and he knew his demon side cared about Kagome, just as much as his hanyou and human side did.
Although his body was to busy spreading blood to save the woman he loved. He mentally cursed his body.
He continued his way towards the next village.
He was running full speed when he was suddenly stopped by two people and large, fire cat demon. He growled. 'Sango, Miroku, Kirara. Get away from me.' He thought but couldn't say.
"Inuyasha?" Miroku questioned.
"He's not himself. He's a demon." Sango inferred fearfully.
"We need to get Kagome."
"Miroku look. He has Tetsusiaga!"
"Than how?"
"... The jewel! He must have it." Sango said.
"Run." mumbled the demon Inuyasha. It was all he could get out.
"What?" Sango asked.
"He told us to run."
"We have to get Kagome." Sango looked at Miroku. 'No!' Inuyasha thought. 'I don't want to hurt her!' "We have to stop him!"
"Get out of my way!" An angry demon screamed and jumped towards them. They dodged and Inuyasha continued on his way.
Meanwhile
Kagome sat in the well.
"What should I do? How do I help him. He thinks I hate him and I can't get through the well." Kagome said to herself, quietly examining her bloody knuckles.
It was than she felt it. The sacred jewel! It was somewhere in her house, or at least a shard of it was.
Kagome jumped up and began climbing out of the well, because of her haste she fell on her bottom once, but got back up and got out.
She quickly ran back into the house and into her room slamming the door behind her.
"It's here, somewhere." She spoke silently and half out of breath. She began to rummage through her things, until she came to her desk drawer. "Here?" She opened it to reveal a finely chipped sacred jewel shard. "Inuyasha must have done this." She picked it up with joy.
She wasted no time and ran down the steps, out the door, to the well house, and once again into the well. She was overjoyed when she was greeted by a blue light and the feeling of flying.
She came to the ground and looked up to see the clouded sky, signaling it was going to ran. She already felt drizzles on her face, as she looked up.
She climbed out of the well and looked around in sorrow. There were some trees chopped down in a path, she assumed Inuyasha had done it. She also noticed something else that mad her sad. The area was sullen. The forest cried and the wind blew a warning. The feudal era didn't feel at peace like it usually did. No. Instead it was crying for help. Something was desperately wrong.
"What could be happening?" Kagome wondered out loud as she made her way towards the path and came to a clearing. She felt a dark presence there, but it wasn't all dark, it was struggling. "Inuyasha?" Kagome continued to follow the path as it now poured. She was alone in a forest with demons and had no weapons. She knew though that even the demons were hiding.
She walked in the cold of the rain and came to a village. Her eyes widened and she gasped as she saw it completely slaughtered. Men, Women, and even children lay on the ground lifeless. 'Has Inuyasha done all of this?' She thought feeling tears coming. 'So... than he's become his demon self?' She knelt down on the ground and cried. 'It's all my fault. I was to late!'
Meanwhile
Inuyasha ran and slaughtered another completely innocent village. 'Why can't I control my body? Why are things like this. This isn't how things are supposed to be.' He watched in horror as he killed another poor family.
He suddenly stopped smelling the air. He growled and turned to the side to see a bored looking Sesshomaru looking his way.
Sesshomaru had finally cleaned his lands with some help from his servants and he didn't need Inuyasha going and ruining it again. After all Inuyasha was currently on the border line of entering the western lands.
"Fool. So you ended up using the jewel which your miko gave to you than. Funny I was under the impression you cared for the girl, yet you go against all her wishes and turn yourself into a mindless killing beast."
"She... hates me." The full demon said in a frown. Inuyasha was surprised that this saddened even his demon side and his demon side was speaking for itself. Sesshomaru was a little surprised that Inuyasha's demon form had any sense at all.
"I see." He understood completely now. "So the girl has told you she hates you and you became a demon because it was all you had to do with your life." Sesshomaru stood completely still feeling a little anger at the stupidity of his brother. "You know nothing. That girl cares for you like no other. Otherwise she wouldn't risk herself for you so much and she wouldn't hang around a half breed like yourself."
"Leave." His demon side growled, not really believing his older brother.
"You are the one trespassing on my lands." Sesshomaru said with a bit of annoyance.
Meanwhile
(A/N: The song 'Hear you me' By. Jimmy Eat World begins playing in the background. You should go and download it before reading the next part, because it makes things so much more dramatic and awesome.) Kagome was still on her knees crying in the rain. She heard something and turned around to see a demon coming her way.
She stood up and slowly stepped back.
"What... do you want?" She asked.
"Foolish girl. I want your life and your shard of the sacred jewel." The demon came closer. Kagome gripped the jewel tighter to her hand.
There's no one in town
I know... You gave us some place to go
I never said thank you for that
Inuyasha stood face to face with Sesshomaru.
I thought I might get One more chance
What would you Think of me now
So lucky, so strong, so proud?
Kagome's fear rose as she knew her fate to be. The demon was going to kill her and steal the sacred jewel shard.
I never said thank you for that now I'll never have a chance May angels lead you in Hear you me my friends On sleepless roads The sleepless go May angels lead you in
Inuyasha's demons self was prepared to fight and kill his brother, but his instincts were telling him someone was in need of him. Although he made no attempts to turn around.
Sesshomaru had no fear of his brother, although in a sense he felt sorry for the miko.
"Inuyasha. I will kill you now if you do not leave." Inuyasha only stood his ground.
So what would you Think of me now
Kagome stood her ground and knew there was no hope in running.
So lucky, so strong, so proud?
Inuyasha lunged at Sesshomaru and their battle began. (A/N: The song continues playing.)
I never said thank you for that now I'll never have a chance May angels lead you in Hear you me my friends
"I wont hand over the shard to the likes of you." Kagome said bravely.
"Such a stupid human girl. I will just have to kill you." The demon looked like a panther demon. She was all black and had red eyes. The cat demon jumped at Kagome and began mindlessly slashing her.
Kagome screamed in pain as she flew into the air from a blow to the gut and fell to the ground with a thud and rolled a little.
The panther demon didn't stop and continued attacking Kagome giving the girl no mercy.
Kagome slowly felt her life fading away. She closed her eyes and allowed herself eternal sleep.
On sleepless roads The sleepless go May angels lead you in May angels lead you in May angels lead you in
Inuyasha stopped his attack and knelt to the ground clutching his heart. Something was severely wrong. he had never had this horrible feeling before. 'What's going on?' He thought as the pain consumed him.
Sesshomaru looked at him a little surprised. He hadn't even attacked Inuyasha yet and had no idea what was causing this pain in his brother.
"No. It can't be." The demon mumbled as he jumped up and heading in the direction in which he had come form earlier.
Inuyasha ran as fast as he could toward where he smelt the blood of the woman he loved. His demon side was furious that anyone would dare spill the blood of the woman he cared so dearly for.
He arrived and noticed a grinning panther demon standing over an almost dead girl, holding the sacred jewel.
Inuyasha's red eyes went wide. 'Kagome! No!' Inuyasha stepped forward and the panther demon looked up at him with a smirk.
"What do you want?" She asked with anger in her eyes, because of the way the demon was glaring at her. "This shard is mine."
"How dare you hurt her!" Inuyasha jumped forward and slashed the demons to bits.
He ran to the side of the unconscious girl and looked over her body. His demon side was confused on why he didn't seek the blood of this girl and only sought her love, but the real Inuyasha knew that it was because he loved her.
The demons hand slowly and reluctantly reached down and stroked hair from the girls forehead as rain continued pouring.
And if you were With me tonight I'd sing to you just One more time A song for a heart so big god wouldn't let it live
"Kagome..." His demon form recognized the girl as.
May angels lead you in Hear you me my friends On sleepless roads The sleepless go May angels lead you in May angels lead you in Hear you me my friends On sleepless roads The sleepless go May angels lead you in May angels lead you in
Well what do you think? I loved the drama here!
