Hey! Are you ready for part 2? I'm so excited to be writing it for you. And for those who keep saying it, Kagome's promise might come out in this chapter. We'll just have to see if I want to reveal it or not . Alright, enough of my talking, lets get started!
Previously on Do I Love Her?
As Inuyasha ran, everything was a blur. He only had his eyes set on one place. He could sense something was wrong! He knew something was happening. Soon he saw the shrine, and that the front door was open. But he didn't even bother with the door, he went strait for Kagome's window, and crashed through the window to see...
Chapter 10: The Race to Save Kagome! Part 2
Inuyasha only stared at the strange sight in the room. Kikiyo was passed out on the floor, and Kagome was slumped against the wall in her room, and they were both surrounded by several Demons Inuyasha knew were Soul collectors. Inuyasha walked forward, but a soul collector blocked him back. Suddenly Sango busted into the room, her face flush from running. She was breathing hard, but stopped at what she saw. "What's wrong with her?" Sango asked walking forward. The two of them squatted down and looked at Kagome from a distance. Her eyes were open, but they had no expression in them, and her face was blank.
As Sango looked at her, she became angry. She dived for Kikiyo, planning to choke the life out of her, but a soul collector blocked her back. "Kikiyo is doing something to Kagome from the inside." Inuyasha stated as he looked at her. "Well, how do we get her out?" Sango asked in desperation. "WE can't. This is in Kagome's hands now." Inuyasha answered, looking worried. Can Kagome beat Kikiyo? He thought in worry.
Kagome was numb. All her senses had left her. She liked it. She could just lay here forever, and never feel pain or misery, and never had to remember the past. But Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha would also be lost. She had started over. She had began a new, but once again let her past come into play. But she wanted to remember Inuyasha. She would lose the pain, but she would also lose the love. That was something she couldn't afford to lose!
The warmth in her body came back as she remembered her friends smiling faces. Slowly she opened her tired eyes, and saw a bright light shining down on her. Slowly she sat up and saw nothing but blackness. She slowly got to her feet and looked around to see nothing. "I thought you would welcome the blackness. The painlessness." A voice rang out in the dark. Suddenly a beam of light shone down to reveal Kikiyo.
"I was ready to, but I knew I had a reason to still have feelings!" Kagome answered. "You know, I've been looking around, and you know, Your soul is so empty. But I can't blame it, with that nasty past of yours and all." Kikiyo said with a smirk. "Where are we!" Kagome demanded in anger. "I just said your soul." Kikiyo answered in an annoyed tone. "I've been looking through your memories while I waited, and I must say, your very interesting. I never would have guessed your mom to be a hooker." Kikiyo taunted with a smirk.
"Shut the hell up!" Kagome yelled. She started running at Kikiyo so she could go hit her, but she didn't get anywhere. "What would Inuyasha think? I mean, who wants to know a girl who has a mom as a hooker! My only question is, do you know who your dad is or were you some bastered child from a day at work gone bad?" Kikyo laughed. Kagome's heart started to hurt so bad. Fresh pain came to the surface as Kikiyo laughed at her pain. "Shut up about my dad!" Kagome screamed. "Yes, your father. Victim of a gang drive by. And then you disgrace his memory by starting your own gang. Very interesting." Kikiyo continued. "Shut...up." she cried, falling to her knees. Slowly Kikiyo walked over to her and touched her shoulder. "Just go to sleep and forget. You don't have to live with this pain." Kikiyo offered.
Kagome looked up into the uncaring eyes and became angered. Kagome quickly kicked Kikiyo's feet out from underneath of her, then kicked her outward while in mid-fall. "Don't every touch me again Bitch!" Kagome yelled at her, getting to her feet. Kikiyo got to her feet and glared at the now angered Kagome. "The blood-spillers I believe it was called. You were the leader of the gang, and you were also the most feared. You didn't spare anyone. If they gave you a wrong look, they didn't see the next day. How could you sleep at night?" Kikiyo said, picking up where she left off. "I-I had to! It was either kill or be killed!" Kagome defended. "Yurokia." Kikiyo said simply. Kagome stood shocked. "And then you broke the promise..."Kikiyo said, shaking her head. Kagome tried to think of what to say, but couldn't. "She looked up to you, wanted to be in the gang. You saw a little of you in her, even though she was only 10. Then what did you do to her?" Kikiyo poked with a sickening smile. Kagome only hung her head in shame. She wanted the numbness again, she was wrong. Maybe love wasn't worth it. "That's it Kagome. Fade into the darkness of your soul and let me have control." Kikiyo said, watching with delight. Kagome looked at Kikiyo and saw that she was staring at her with content. Kagome looked at her hands, and saw that you could kind of see through them.
Inuyasha sat out side the soul collector barrier, and watched. Kagome had not moved since he had gotten there, but Kikiyo had a smile on her face. Inuyasha didn't like the way things were going. Sango had gone to fetch Miroku. She had hope he could exorcize Kikiyo from Kagome's body, but Inuyasha knew that it was up to Kagome. She had to get Kikiyo out, and she had to do it soon.
Kagome was now sitting down hugging her legs. Kikiyo hadn't said anything to her in a while and the emptiness was deafening. "You know, I can see your fears, dreams and deep desires here as well. Do you want to kill some time?" Kikiyo said with a smile. Kagome buried her face into her knees, but she noticed the were starting to become clear. "We can also control what happens outside. Like I can make you say things, and you would have no control." Kikiyo threatened. Kagome looked up at her and saw she was totally serious. With a wave of her hand, what looked like a screen formed in mid air. And on the screen was Inuyasha sitting down on her bedroom floor with a worried look on her face. "Maybe Inuyasha would like a little history lesson. What do you think?" Kikiyo laughed.
Kagome jumped to her feet and ran at Kikiyo, but unlike last time, she reached her and punched her right in the jaw, sending her back. Using the time while kikiyo was down Kagome yelled into the screen "Inuyasha! Help Me!", which she heard echo. Inuyasha stared confused and answered back, "Only you can get Kikiyo out!" At that moment, Kagome felt a fist go right into her stomach and knocked her back.
Sango was now dragging Miroku up the shrine steps. He was asleep when she went over, and she had to drag him over. As they got into Kagome's room, Sango saw that Inuyasha was examining the barrier again. "What the hell?" Miroku asked, blinking at the weird sight. "Can you get rid of the soul collectors?" Sango asked in desperation. Miroku stared for a second, then shook his head. "I can't get rid of them." He told her with sadness.
Kagome stood up and looked down to see she didn't have legs. Shit! Kagome thought. "I can't wait to take over your body Kagome. Inuyasha will never know who is what. For all he knows, I was killed while in you, and now your back to normal." Kikiyo said with a sinister smile.
A pure hatred filled her as she looked upon the girl who had caused her so much turmoil. "Get out!" she ordered. "I'll confess all your little secrets to him. And then My sister will resurrect me as she was told. And me and Inuyasha will walk into the sunset together. Forgetting all about our little wench." Kikiyo thought aloud. Kagome buried inside. She wanted Kikiyo out, and gone! She didn't care where that bitch went, just away from her! "What are you doing!" Kikiyo yelled. Suddenly, Kagome became solid again, and she was glowing purple. Kagome looked up, and Kikiyo saw that her browns eyes were now pure white. "I said...get out!" Kagome ordered through gritted teeth. "No! My plan will not fail!" Kikiyo yelled, starting to glow blue. Kagome sent out a wave of purple, but Kikiyo but put up a barrier, blocking the attack. "Your not going to get rid of me Wench!" Kikiyo yelled. "I'm sick of your face, and I'm sick of you talking! You have caused nothing but pain and misery since day one! Well, guess what bitch! I said GET OUT!" Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs. Suddenly the purple spread out, and started to fill the darkness. Kikiyo tried to keep it back, but it was to powerful, and it broke her barrier. The last thing Kagome heard was Kikiyo's blood curdling scream.
Sango now lay in Miroku lap asleep, while He lend against the bedroom wall fighting off the urge to pass out. Inuyasha sat upon Kagome's bed, trying to figure out how to get rid of the soul collectors. When suddenly Kagome's body glowed purple, and a small bright ball came out of her chest. It then flew into Kikiyo's chest, but she didn't move. But the soul collectors surrounding Kagome and Kikiyo, rapped around Kikiyo and lifted her off the ground, And before Inuyasha could do anything, they flew her out of the room through the broken window.
Kagome felt like she was falling. Falling downward in a never ending abbess. When she opened her eyes, she saw noting but white. The pure color hurt her eyes, making her want to close her eyes. But she then felt her self land softly, as if on a cloud. Kagome sat up, and looked around, but saw no sign of life. A she climbed to her feet, she heard a little giggle. "Hello?" she asked. But her voice only echoed. As she walked, her footsteps echoed through the white place. "Where are you going?" A voice asked. Kagome turned around to see a little girl. She had straight white hair, with a white flower in her hair. Her robes were also white and her skin was very pale. At first Kagome didn't see her because she blended in so well. "Who are you?" Kagome asked, walking over. "Does it matter?" She asked back, her face blank of emotion.
Kagome could only stare blankly at the girls question. "Where am I? Am I in Heaven?" Kagome asked with fear. "Does it matter?" She asked again. "Yes!" Kagome said, getting annoyed. "Why? Why do you have to know these things?" She asked, still blank of emotion. Kagome only glared at the girl. What is with this girl? She thought. "Look, if you can't help me, then I'm going." Kagome said, starting to walk off. "Which brings us back to, where are you going?" The girl asked. "I don't know!" she yelled. The girl only stared at her, which was making Kagome very angry. "What is your deal?" Kagome yelled, wanting to get out of there. "What is yours?" she asked. "Ahhhhhhh!" Kagome screamed, grabbing her head.
Why is this happening to me? Kagome asked, tears of aggravation coming to her eyes. But she then felt a hand upon her arm, and she looked down. "You did not answer." The girl said. "Neither did you." Kagome shot back. Kagome then saw a small smile come to her face. "My name is Kana. And no you are not in Heaven. You are in the after plain. A place were people are separated from their bodies, but not dead." She answered. Kagome smiled softly at her, calming down. "Why do you not die?" Kana asked her. "Because I have a reason to stay." She said to her, thinking of Inuyasha and the others. "You better get back soon." Kana told her, starting to walk off. "How!" Kagome yelled after her. "You must have a true reason to stay behind." She yelled over her shoulder. "What will happen if I can't?" Kagome yelled. "I'll come for you." She said, vanishing in the white.
Inuyasha had taken Sango and Miroku back to their houses. They had been so tired, they couldn't be any help. He now sat next to Kagome's bed, holding her hand as she lay still. Her eyes were still wide and had no sign of emotion, and she hadn't moved since the power ball had left her chest. "Kagome..." He whispered, squeezing her hand. Maybe he was wrong, maybe he could've helped her. He could only stare at her emotionless eyes with sadness.
As Kagome stood there, staring at where Kana had just been, The whiteness started to fade. It went completely black before it started to light up again. But instead of being in the white world, she was in her room. As she looked around, She saw Inuyasha leaning over her bed. "Inuyasha!" she cried with happiness, but when she went to hug him, her arms just went through him. And he did not respond to her voice. "Inuyasha?" she asked with confusion. She then looked over in front of him, and saw her motionless body laying on the body.
Oh no...how am I going to find a true reason to stay behind? Kagome thought, with shock. With a sigh, she flopped onto the bed, knowing that her motion had gone unnoticed. "Kagome?" Inuyasha asked. "Yes!" Kagome answered with excitement. "You have to wake up." He said to the motionless body. "Oh..." She said, losing hope again. "I never told you, but I know how you feel about losing your dad." He continued. Kagome looked up to him in interest. "I mean, at least you know your dad. Mine was killed before I got to know him. And I sometimes wish I had known him." He said with sorrow. Kagome reached over to comfort him, but once again, her hand went through his shoulder.
"And I know I haven't been showing it, but I do really like our time together. And I'm going to miss you Kagome, if you don't pull through this. "Oh Inuyasha!" Kagome cried, tears going down her cheeks. "Its time Kagome." a voice said. Kagome looked up, and saw Kana in the corner. "I just got here! You can't!" Kagome cried. Kana silently pulled out a mirror, and aimed it at her. Suddenly Kagome saw white smoke form around her, and start going into the mirror. Slowly she felt her strength being taken away from her. "Inuyasha..." she whispered in desperation. She looked into his eyes and saw a tear fall from them. "I need you Kagome. There is just something about you. I don't know why. When I see you, I just feel right. I don't know how to describe it. You help me feel better when I'm depressed." He said, sorrow in his voice. "I need you too Inuyasha." Kagome cried.
Suddenly, Kagome felt her power returning. Kagome turned to look at Kana, and saw that she had put away the mirror. "Return." she said simply. She then turned and walked through her bedroom wall, leaving her. Slowly Kagome got to her feet, and walked over to her body. She reached down and touched her hand. She then felt a force lift her off the ground and above her body. Then slowly she fell into her body and everything went black.
Inuyasha watch as Kagome closed her eyes, and then gasped for air, sitting strait up. The first thing he saw was that her eyes were bright with emotion. "Kagome?" he asked with shock. "Inuyasha!" She cried, throwing her arms around him. She felt Inuyasha pull her away and look at her with shock. "You care for me." she stated with happiness. "Of coarse I do stupid! You're my friend!" He yelled, letting go. He then got to his feet, and went to then door. "Umm...see you later." She said, not looking back at her. He then opened her door and walked out. But Kagome only smiled at him with happiness. She was going to be here for him.
