Chapter 5 – Heartbeat

" Kagome!" Shippo cried, "Kagome! Wake up!" Miroku and Kirara went to Sango to comfort her.

"Ka? Ka? Ka…go…me?" Inuyasha looked back and ran towards her. He took her head and hugged her with his head down. "Kagome? Kagome?" he repeated as he let her go. Tears dropped to his face. He was crying…Inuyasha. Kikyo watched them crying, suffering and miserable. She wanted to see Inuyasha suffer just like that but she couldn't help to think that he was crying for a girl. A girl know as her reincarnation. She couldn't stand it. "She's dead! Why cry for her Inuyasha! When I killed you and you saw me about to die…you hated me but did you cry!" Kikyo left. "I don't need to see this nonsense!" Inuyasha was struck by her words and he felt his heart beat…..one……two…. three……'She's not dead! She can't die! Not now!' "Kagome breathe…" Inuyasha whispered…then his heart beat. "KAGOME!"

'BEAT…BEAT….BEAT' "I...nu…..ya..sha" Inuyasha heard her soft voice whispered his name. He looked at her face…then he saw a pair of stunning brown eyes looking back at him. "Kagome!" Shippo, Sango and Kouga cried. "Kagome-sama! We were very worried!" Miroku added. "Kagome looked at Inuyasha then looked back, "I'm so….sorry…"

Kouga on the other hand wanted to talk to Kagome but he had to leave. He needed to check his group as he heard them howling in the night calling for his name and before he left he arrogantly asked for a challenge from Inuyasha the next time they see each other and told Miroku to tell Kagome to take care.

'Her eyes…why is it so sad?' Inuyasha thought as she looked down on her. "What were you thinking!" Inuyasha suddenly asked her loudly. She didn't look at him as if something was in his face that made her look scared but then she felt arms around her, embracing tightly. She felt safe, warm and she could feel his heart beat next to her. She cried. Inuyasha felt her tears in his arms and smelled its salty scent then he lets go of her. She tried with effort to stand up with Sango's help but when she was able to she got dizzy being underwater for so long and fell. Inuyasha was able to catch her just in time. He carried her at his back and Sango, Shippo and Miroku rode on Kirara. They decided to go back to Kaede's village to stay there for a while until Kagome recovers. He was still worried about her but his mind drifted away when he thought of Kikyo's words and had a notion to look for her, 'Kikyo…'

­Kikyo

"Inuyasha how could you? Hmm…..Don't you worry…the time will come and we'll be together," Kikyo said to herself as she walked. Her eyes were burning hatred and then she smiled, a little yet unpleasant smile, "Kagome we'll meet again."
