Chapter 22

InuYasha ran as fast as he can remember himself running before. Now that he had suddenly become angered and turned full demon, he could leap above the trees without any trouble at all. He raced after the pink light in the sky, still faintly visible above some nearby mountains. He looked down at Kagome, who by now had lost all color in her face and was terribly pale. Her heartbeat continued to not exist as InuYasha finally reached the mountain the pink light had disappeared into. Before he continued to venture up the mountain, he sniffed the air. He recognized that scent; Sesshomaru. He reached for the hilt of Tetsaiga, but before he could say anything, his brother stepped up behind him.

"InuYasha." He said as a small greeting.

"What are you here for?" InuYasha snapped sharply, not wanting to be interrupted at that moment. He turned around to look at his brother, still resting his hand on his hilt.

Sesshomaru looked InuYasha in the face, taking in the demon marks on his face. "I see you must be very angered at the moment." He paused to glance down at Kagome, still in his arms. "I suppose it must have something to do with your woman. She is dead, is she not?"

"Shutup! I'm too busy to talk right now." InuYasha said back, as he turned around and starting up the mountain.

"You are chasing the pink light?" Sesshomaru asked calmly, causing InuYasha to pause and look around at him.

"Its mine! Don't you dare try and get it!" He yelled, knowing he would fight his brother if he had to.

"Fine; I simply wish to know what it was." He answered, both Jaken and Rin coming up behind him. "Lord Sesshomaru! It's InuYasha; he's got demon marks on his face!" Jaken yelled in alarm, only to be ignored by all of them but Rin, who gave him a hard stomp on the foot.

InuYasha, pausing before answering, reluctant to say what it was but finally answered, "It's the sacred jewel."

There was a pause as Sesshomaru took in what was just said. "I believe I have missed something important. Seeing you are in a rush though, I will wish to speak with you after your task is finished." And with that, Sesshomaru turned and went back down the mountain side and disappeared into the trees with Rin and Jaken following as usual.

Not having time to think, InuYasha quickly turned back around and ran up the mountainside in search of the where the light had disappeared to. When he got to the top of the mountain and still hadn't found the jewel, he laid Kagome down on a ridge and sat down. "Kagome; I'm sorry…I'm trying, Kagome, but I can't find it! You died all because of me…I wish so much I hadn't wished off that damn jewel in the first place." He banged his fist on the ground in anger.

He sat there for a minute, trying to think of what to do then, when he saw something bright out of the corner of his eye. He turned to see the jewel, glowing its brilliant bright pink, lying on the ground next to him. "Is that truly what you wish for?" It said, in the same echoing voice.

InuYasha was about to scream, "Yes!" when he remembered last time. He didn't want to end up with the same mess as last time. "No. I have a different wish."

There was a pause and finally the jewel replied, "What is your wish, InuYasha?"

InuYasha's eyes widened when he heard the jewel speak his named but remembered to not get off task. He thought carefully, making sure there wouldn't be any flaw in his wish this time, before finally replying, "I wish Kagome was alive."

"Is that truly what you wish for?"

Without having to pause and think about it at all, he replied, "Yes." He shut his eyes tight, afraid that there was something in his wish that went wrong again.

It was silent all around him for a while when he finally opened his eyes. He looked around and saw no jewel. He also saw Kagome, still lying next to him. InuYasha held a sad expression on his face, still devastated and confused why Kagome wasn't alive. He bent over her and laid his head next to her body.

Suddenly, he heard a rustling next to him and what sounded like a faint heartbeat. Without looking up, he felt something touch his ears. "Your….ears are doing…a dance up here."

well, that was the chapy!the second to last chapy!woO0t!well, you all should be happy now, if you remember back to who says that line in the story. well, next chapy will prob not be tommorrow so I can build up suspense, so it may be two days from now...see you then: )
