Yes! Another chapter! I love writing this fiction. The drama is beautiful.
Chapter 7: Returning to me
Kagome shakily stood up. There was no time for talk. Inuyasha was probably on his way to the next village.
"Go to the village and see your daughter. If you stay here your daughter will no longer have a mother or brother." Kagome took a deep breath and stumbled out of the hut. So much death. She hated seeing so much death and knowing Inuyasha did it made it hurt so much more.
"Thank you for all of your help. We shall be eternally grateful." The woman said bowing to Kagome. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Do you have a bow and arrows?"
"Why yes. My husband used to protect the village."
"Can you get me one?"
"Of course." The woman ran into the hut and pulled out a bow and arrows from a hidden spot under the floor. She handed it to Kagome.
"Thank you." Kagome said as stumbled off.
"I am the one who should be thanking you." The woman mumbled and than took her son and ran.
Kagome walked down the path of blood Inuyasha created and stopped in a field. She looked on in horror as Inuyasha stood there screaming. He was surrounded by a dark light and was being sucked into something.
Kagome's eyes widened and she began running towards the dark light.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed and jumped into the dark light. The next thing she knew she was being sucked into something with Inuyasha. Everything went dark.
Later
Kagome fluttered her weak eyes open and looked around. She was on a cold cement floor in a room. She looked around and heard noise coming from another room. She sat up and rubbed her pained head.
"So you are awake." Someone said. Kagome jumped and looked over to the owner of the deep voice. It was a man, more like demon. He was wearing formal black and blue clothing. His ears were pointed and his eyes glowed an emerald. He had sharp features and wore a grin.
"Who are you?" Kagome said taking a step back.
"I am Hayabusa(Falcon)." The demon said.
"Where am I and what am I doing here? Where's Inuyasha?"
"Calm girl. You are in my lair. You are merely here because you jumped into the entrance with Inuyasha. Inuyasha is over there." The demon pointed to an extremely large door.
"Why is he there?"
"Enough questions." The demon disappeared leaving a confused Kagome. She looked up and down her body and noticed she wasn't in so much pain as before. In fact she only had the injuries from the panther demon, any slashes from Inuyasha had disappeared. Of course even with the panther demon slashes she was still on the verge of death.
She looked around and willed herself to stand. She pushed on the door and it opened to reveal a room. She was up very high in the gray, huge room. She held her bow and arrows to her body. The feeling the place gave off was bad. She looked down and saw a crowd of people. 'The villagers? They're all alive and well!' Kagome said shocked. She looked down and saw a growling Inuyasha in front of a child at the age of about four. He was ready to kill the girl.
"No!" Some woman jumped in front of the girl and Inuyasha held his claws in the air.
"Oh god. He's going to kill them." Kagome thought. She looked down and saw the only way to get down was to climb the gray rocky walls. She began to climb down quickly with the bow in one hand and the arrows around her back.
She got down with a thud and looked over at Inuyasha. He was struggling not to hurt anymore. Kagome began to run as she saw he was losing control.
Inuyasha was prepared to slash the woman and child. His eyes glowed in anger and ferocity. He wasn't able to control himself, his anger. His insides were tearing him apart. He held his sword and was about to bring it down when...
"NOOO!" Kagome screamed as she ran in front of the woman and spread out her arms in defense as she faced Inuyasha and looked into his eyes with a sad, pleading gaze. His claws were held up and his stance stayed the same. "Please." Kagome whispered. Inuyasha's gaze changed from angry to sad. He dropped his claws to his side and backed away slowly. His eyes were flashing back to their normal color and softness. He closed them tight and held his head.
"Get away from me! Get the hell away!" He yelled at Kagome. She didn't move back, instead she moved forward. Her wide wounds were bleeding and causing her to struggle.
"Don't do this. You know you don't want to. Inuyasha come back... come back to me. I will give my life to you. Just please don't hurt them." She placed a hand on each shoulder. "I beg this of you." Inuyasha pushed her away and jumped back.
"I said stay away!" He glared at all the humans there and charged he was ready to slash at a few.
"STOP!" Kagome screamed as she released an arrow towards Inuyasha. It glowed with the light of her miko energy. It flew right between Inuyasha and the humans he was about to kill. She missed Inuyasha on purpose. It was a warning. Her eyes were spilling tears. She never wanted to hurt Inuyasha, but did she even have a choice? "Don't... please stop this."
"Don't dare tell me what I must do!" Inuyasha faced Kagome. 'Kagome please you have to run!' Inuyasha thought. He was gaining more and more control over his body. Kagome was about 30 feet from Inuyasha holding an arrow out ready to shoot.
The demon Inuyasha ignored the air and was prepared to kill anything including Kagome.
"Inuyasha... I'm sorry..." Kagome said as she prepared to release the arrow. She shut her eyes tightly trying to hold back the tears which threatened to fall, but that didn't help, her tears fell. Inuyasha watched her shed tears. The tears... they were for him? His gaze changed and his eyes were becoming normal as the memory of when she first cried came back to him. "Forgive me." Kagome said as she was about to release the arrow Inuyasha's way. His gaze was now completely normal, but Kagome hadn't noticed. He now feared for his life as the arrow was about to rush toward him. Kagome was about to let go. 'I can't hurt Inuyasha.. I don't want to hurt him. I will die for him. Please make him stop.' Her hands were to weak to hold the arrow back any longer.
"KAGOME! Stop, don't!" It was to late the arrow was freed from Kaogme's grasp. "I love you." Inuyasha said low, but Kagome heard. She jumped forward. More tears came. She tried to grab the arrow, but it was to close to him. She screamed with all her might and her body glowed blue. Inuyasha's body too glowed this blow and the arrow collided with it. It was a barrier that Kagome had created.
Everyone stared in amazement. Kagome looked at Inuyasha, totally ignoring the odd event of the barrier. She was only ten feet from his now. She looked into his sad eyes and was relieved to see them back to normal. Her eyes were heartrending, as were his.
"Inuyasha..." Kagome ran forward and launched into his arms. She kissed his warm lips for the first time and was lost in his soul. They both felt so warm like that. The kiss was nothing like either of them had ever expected. She never wanted to stop, but did. She hugged his chest tightly. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. She cried once more. "Inuyasha!" Changed to a whisper. "Inuyasha.. your back."
"I never left, I would never want to."
"I... I..."
"Don't... there is no time now. What the hell is going on? Where are we?"
"I can answer that question for you." The demon Hayabusa appeared about fifty feet from Inuyasha and Kagome. "I am Hayabusa and hear merely for the sacred jewel. I was the one who brought you here. It really is a shame your miko had to come too. She will be the first to die, especially since she has the power to revert your transformations."
"You won't touch Kagome." Inuyasha said as he used a hand you push Kagome behind him in a protective matter.
"There is no chance to stop me. The jewel in your body is still slightly black and your demon self will revert back any time now."
"What?" Inuyasha's eyes went wide. He turned to Kagome and pushed her far back. She landed on her bottom.
"Hey watch it!" She said.
"Stay away from me. If I turn back into a demon you have to run."
"She has no where to run fool. I have brought you here as well as all the people you killed."
"I killed? They're perfectly fine!"
"You really are that foolish. This is not the human world. We are in a section of hell."
Oh! What a cliff hanger!
