See I told you I'd update! It's just a little later that I said! I was good this weekend so no yelling! Well guys this officially my shortest story ever! I hate to say this, but this is the last chapter. I wasn't all that thrilled w/this story and decided to end it now! And yes it is over and I will not be writing more. I hope the endings not too disappointing.
Kagome eye's looked over to the door and said,"Come in."
A girl walked in. She was dressed in the stereotypical nurse outfit. "Hello Kagome. My names is Kagura. Me and my sister Kanna will be your nurses. How about we get you cleaned up and then you can go see Dr. Naraku." She smiled in an uncharacteristic way for her. Kagome shuddered but knew she didn't have a choice so she blindly followed the girl.
She was lead into a bathroom. Then the nurse turned to her and said,"Kagome since your only suffering from a slight case of delusions you are trusted to bathe by yourself. Do anything to break this trust and you will be taking supervised group showers." Kagome shuddered when she heard that. There was no way that she would let herself be put into that situation. That would be way too embarrassing.
Kagome turned to Kagura and said,"Um how am I supposed to take a shower?"
"What do you mean dear?" Kagome pointed to her leg and then Kagura realized that she couldn't take a shower with the cast on. "Hold on I'll go get a waterproof bag." It took her a matter of seconds. There was a closet conveniently located at the back of the room. Kagome sat down on the toilet lid and Kagura placed the bag over her cast. Then she left Kagome so she could shower in privacy.
She started the water and pulled off the gown that the home had provided her with. As she stepped into the water, the thoughts of what happened the night before popped into her head. She placed a hand on her lips, remembering the burning feeling his lips left on hers. Kagome smiled and let the warm waters get rid of her trouble.
After her shower Kagome got dressed into her jeans a t-shirt. She though it was a little unusual that the people where allowed to wear normal clothes, but then she remembered what Inuyasha told her. None of this was real. This was just another attempt by Naraku to get her to forget, but there was no way she'd forget Inuyasha. She cared for him far too much for that.
After doing her hair she walked down to the end of the hallway that contained Narkau's office. She knocked on the door and heard a muffled,"Come in." Kagome pushed open the door. Then she took a seat in front of Naraku.
"Hello Kagome. How are you this morning?"
"Well I'm ok, I guess."
"What's got you down?"
"Well, just the fact that I've got realize that Inuyasha isn't real. The whole thing makes me feel like a freak. I mean it all seemed so real to me, but it wasn't true at all. I truly am crazy aren't I?" Kagome was laying it on thick. Maybe if he thought that she was truthfully thinking this then he would let her go home sooner. She didn't want to stay her much longer.
"Wow Kagome. You are going to be a fast cure. It usually takes me months to get the patients to even begin to understand what they're going through. What brought on this discovery?"
"Well as you said before I'm not completely crazy, but rather suffering from a slight case of delusion. I know just from the fact of simple reasoning that I wouldn't be here for no reason. My mom, the doctors, you, none of you would be trying to help me if there was no problem."
"That's very smart of you to figure out Kagome. Tell me, did you dream of Inuyasha last night?"
"No, I didn't. I sat there thinking last night. Last night was when I made the deduction that Inuyasha wasn't real. I think that since I finally got it through my brain that he wasn't real then I wouldn't have to use him to cope so he won't be around anymore. I only needed Inuyasha because I was too out of it to realize fact from fiction. Now that I'm better it is easier to distinguish what is real from what's not."
"Well Kagome I think that we can call this session over early." His eyes then moved to her neck. "What a lovely necklace Kagome where did get it?"
Kagome looked down on her neck. There was half of the Shikon No Tama. She didn't know how it got there, but tears welled up in her eyes. She grabbed the jewel and wrapped her hands around it. "My father gave it to me before he died."
"Oh so it's precious to you then?"
"Yes I do. Well thanks for everything Dr. Naraku." She shot a smile at the idiotic man sitting in front of her. This was too easy. She was escorted to her room by a nurse. She suddenly felt tired and fell back asleep. It wasn't long before she heard Inuyasha's voice.
"You sure did find it easy to dismiss us, huh?" He teased.
"You heard us?"
"No it's just that I can hear everything you say."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"So was I convincing?"
"Very."
"Inuyasha we need to find a way to defeat him. I can't take this. It sucks to be locked up like an animal. I don't like this. Please help." She lowered her head as tears fell down her cheeks. Then she felt a hand on her shoulder.
Her eyes shifter to Inuyasha. His face was full of concern. "Kagome don't worry. I'm here with you. I promise to be here always. Just don't forget that's what Naraku wants."
"I won't forget you Inu not ever." Kagome felt his hand on hers.
"Kagome I want to test something. Please follow me." Inuyasha pulled her forward. She could only see him running through the darkness. She couldn't see anything else except for him and the dankness. It was kinda of peaceful, the two of them running in silence.
Suddenly he stopped and said,"We'll get there faster if you get on my back." Kagome complied and jumped on his back. She felt safe in his arms. Her head found its way to his shoulder as she snuggled up to him. Inuyasha smiled when he felt her relax.
When Inuyasha stopped the second time Kagome looked up. She could see the bone eaters well. "Inuyasha I see the bone eater's well."
"Kagome I know that this may seem a little extraordinary, but I want you to jump into the well."
Kagome looked at the well. Then she looked at her leg. It looked fine now. She was no longer wearing a cast. Inuyasha noticed this reaction and said,"KAgome just try. This is only a dream, right? If it doesn't work you won't get hurt."
Kagome smiled at him. Then the realization hit her. Inuyasha was right and she trusted his judgement completely. "Ok Inuyasha. I'll try!" She jumped into the well without any further hesitation.
Kagome jumped into the well. That was when she felt the familiar sensation of falling and the blue, eerie light enveloped her. She hoped that this was what was supposed to happen. When she landed Kagome was at the bottom of the well. She looked up and saw the blue sky. Inuyasha jumped down into the well and pulled her up in a hug. "Kagome I knew you could do it!"
"What do you mean Inuyasha? I thought that this was only an experiment."
"Kagome it was. Don't you see? The test was of your trust. To break the spell you had to trust me completely. I didn't know how long, if ever, it would take you to trust me."
"Inuyasha, of course I trust you. I love you." Inuyasha smiled and put his hands on her shoulder. It wasn't long before he leaned down to a kiss. Kagome happily responded by kissing him back. She hadn't been this happy in a long time.
When they broke the kiss Inuyasha said,"I think we should be getting back to the other."
"You're right Inuyasha. I miss them. I only have one question though."
"What's that?"
"If my body was with you, how did it end up in the well?"
"Well..um..I guess that's one thing we'll have to figure out together."
Kagome smiled. She liked how he said together. She knew that meant that he was considering the two of them being together forever. This made her more happy than anything ever could've. "I'm so happy Inuyasha. It was so weird and hard. I felt insane, even though I was convinced I wasn't. There was that little voice in the back of my mind telling that I was crazy for even thinking that you were real. The other part of me, the stronger part, told me to keep holding on to you. I'm glad I listened to it over my weak part that wanted to give in."
"I know Kagome. It was hard on me too. If I had been watching you like I should have Naraku never would've gotten the chance to place the spell on you. The whole thing was so strange Kagome. I'm so sorry for everything."
"It's alright Inuyasha." Then Kagome turned to him and said,"And Inuyasha."
"Yeah?"
"This whole thing wasn't strange, it was unreal."
Yeah yeah I know very cliche ending. I'm sorry that it sucked. Look for next longer, better story coming ut soon. It's going to be called Guardian Angel. It will feature Sango and Miroku! Plz tell me what ya though about this story, even if u were disappointed!
ja ne,
Dani
