Chapter Fifteen- Death is a Funny Thing
"Naraku." InuYasha spat. "What game are you playing at?" Naraku laughed.
"How do you think I revived Kikyo, InuYasha?" There was silence, so Naraku continued talking. "The tainted jewel shard that you found, InuYasha, that's what took Kagome's memories. Using that, I transported her memories, and a part of her soul to me, and Kikyo was reborn." Kagome was now breathing unevenly.
"In other words…" Naraku said, grinning evilly. "If you want to get Kagome's memories, I'm afraid you'll have to kill Kikyo again." InuYasha lowered his sword, but clenched it harder.
"I have to what?" InuYasha asked. Naraku grinned. InuYasha gritted his teeth, and Kagome went to Sango and Miroku.
"Who's Kikyo?" Kagome asked.
"She's that woman there." Sango replied, pointing. Miroku nodded.
"You are her reincarnation." He explained. Kagome's eyes widened.
"Why… why do I feel… sad around her?" She asked. Miroku and Sango exchanged looks.
"You want to explain this, Miroku?"
"It's alright, Sango koishii. Be my guest." Sango sighed and went up to Kagome.
"InuYasha loved Kikyo, but she died. You were the one that found InuYasha again, but when Kikyo revived, he didn't know who to choose. In the end, he chose you, and Kikyo was put to rest." There was a pause before Sango continued. "But… Kikyo revived again, this time by Naraku, the one who killed her first… by your memories and soul." Kagome's eyes softened, and it glistened with the sunlight. She was going to cry. Kagome went up to InuYasha, and put a hand on his shoulder.
"InuYasha?"
"Stay back, Kagome. I don't want you getting hurt again." Kagome bit her lower lip.
"No, InuYasha."
"Kagome, what are you doing?" Miroku interrupted.
"InuYasha… go to Kikyo." InuYasha's heart sank, and his sword sank to the ground with it.
"WHAT?" Kagome looked like she was on the verge of tears.
"InuYasha… I don't belong here… I belong with the other InuYasha in my time… you go to Kikyo… you love her, don't you?" InuYasha growled.
"Stop talking about nonsense wench! I'm not giving you to that replica of me!" InuYasha retorted, and then faced Naraku again.
"InuYasha…"
"I don't care what you think, Kagome. I swore on my Tetsusaiga that I'd protect you forever, and I'm going to stick by that." With that, InuYasha ran up to Naraku, leaving Kagome behind. Kagura went in front of InuYasha.
"Ryuujin no Mai." InuYasha lifted his sword.
"Bakurayuuha." A gust of wind formed, and went toward Kagura, Kanna, and Naraku. When it disappeared, the three disappeared with it.
"Damn. They escaped." InuYasha growled.
"I'm still here, InuYasha." Kikyo called out. InuYasha turned back, and saw Kikyo aiming an arrow at him.
"Kikyo…"
"InuYasha. You killed me with hatred, and I shall do the same."
"Kikyo! It's not like that!"
"It's not like what, InuYasha? You killed me because you love my replica. My reincarnation. The second me. What is left after all the love, but hatred?" InuYasha growled.
"Will you just listen to me? I killed you so you can move on. You don't belong here, Kikyo." Kikyo pulled her arrow farther back.
"Neither does Kagome, InuYasha. She is not from this world, so I will not give back her memories." InuYasha lifted his sword.
"If I have to kill you again to make Kagome happy, then so be it. You've died once because you did not trust me. You died a second time by me, and I'll do it again if Kagome will say that she loves me." InuYasha spat out. Kikyo glared at him.
InuYasha…
The sword stood still in InuYasha's clenched hands.
This is for you, Kagome…I want you to remember me…
"InuYasha!"
"My name is Kagome! Ka-Go-Me!"
"Osuwari."
"InuYasha… why do you want to be a full demon? You're strong enough as it is…"
"InuYasha… I like you just the way you are."
"You like this? It's ramen."
Remember… Kagome… InuYasha sensed something. His demon blood knew it was something bad. In a split second, something pierced his chest.
Kikyo…Kagome…
"Inu…Yasha…" Kikyo panted. InuYasha was standing there, blood dripping from his chest, and glowing pink. But Kagome noticed something was missing.
Where is his Tetsusaiga? Kagome turned, and saw Tetsusaiga, pierced Kikyo's chest. She dropped her bow.
"InuYasha… I shall finally meet you in hell…" Slowly, she dissipated, and something white was in the air. It came together, and went into Kagome. For once, Kagome felt… complete. All her memories were coming back to her.
---Flashback-----
"Kikyo… playing with bugs now, are we?"
"Huh?"
"What's the matter Kikyo? You look pretty dumb just sitting there. The Kikyo I know how have wasted no time killing it off. Just do it like you did me."
"That's it! Kikyo, Kikyo, Kikyo. Whoever she is, she's not me, because I'm Kagome!"
((Episode 1))
----------
"Me, I'm a half demon, I'll live. You… you ain't got a chance."
"So… I should just give up hope?"
"No… hey, what are you doing? You're not crying are you? NO CRYING!"
"Oh, then should I laugh?"
"NO. You should SHUT UP and let me PROTECT YOU!"
((Episode 7))
----------
"Why were you crying back there?"
"I thought I would loose you…"
"Did I ever tell you that you smell nice?"
"I thought you said that you couldn't stand my smell…"
"I lied."
((Episode 13))
----------
"Give up your jewel shards if you ever want to see your lover alive again!"
"See my lover? Uh… there must be some misunderstanding… let me get this straight. We're supposed to be lovers?"
"I knew you were lying."
"You actually think that I'd hand over the jewel shards as a ransom to get you back?"
"Of course you would, cause that's what a lover would do!"
"But we ain't lovers! And with out love, the whole thing kinda falls apart."
((Episode 9))
----------
"Hey InuYasha. I'm sorry I worried you. Thank you for saving me."
"I think you'd have preferred it if I didn't come. You were all nice to him just cause he said things."
"Things? You mean when Koga said he was in love with me? You were worried about that?"
"I'm not worried at all!"
"For the record, Koga's not my type, okay?"
"Keh. I wasn't asking, so just forget about it."
"-sigh-."
"Hey. So… what exactly happened between you two?"
"InuYasha… What do you take me for anyways? I have some self-respect! I can't believe you'd even ask me that!"
"You don't have to bite my head off! I was just wondering!"
"You jerk, don't you get anything?"
"If I'm such a jerk, then stop tagging along and getting in the way! I'm tired wasting my time rescuing you!"
"I see…"
((Episode 37))
-----------
"Kagome!"
"I'll take care of the girl first."
"Kagome! … Oh no…"
"InuYasha… InuYasha! InuYasha, are you alright?"
"Hmm?"
"You're okay?"
((Episode 69))
----------
"Getting better is more important. Put the books away and get to bed!"
"No!"
"Kagome!"
"I want to go to school you know!"
"Huh?"
"Go away and quit interfering with my studies!"
"What?"
((Episode 89))
----------
"InuYasha…"
"Here. It's a medicine. Drink up."
"Medicine? It stinks."
"I'll promise you'll get better if you drink. You'll get better in an instant."
"Eww!"
"So what? It might taste bad, but it'll definitely work."
"Wow… did you make this yourself?"
"Sure did."
"Well, if you're sure it'll work, I guess I could choke it down."
((Episode 89))
----------
"InuYasha…"
"Osuwari!"
"InuYasha! Are you alright?"
"Want to come down and share this food with me?"
"You went to see Kikyo, didn't you?"
"InuYasha. I missed you so much."
"InuYasha… why do you want to be a full demon? You're strong enough as it is…"
"InuYasha… I like you just the way you are."
---End Flashback-----
Kagome took a breath.
My soul… I feel whole again…InuYasha… InuYasha!
"InuYasha!" Kagome shouted. InuYasha was kneeling on the ground, his hair turned black. He was turning human.
"Ka…gome…" He forced a smile. Kagome quickly rushed to his side.
"InuYasha! The arrow… it's purifying you!" Kagome shouted. She tried to pull the arrow out, but it disappeared instead.
"Heh… just like how we first met… eh Kagome?" InuYasha smiled. Kagome felt tears falling down.
"InuYasha… InuYasha! You…"
"You remember… are you alright?" InuYasha said. Kagome nodded and hugged him tightly. InuYasha forced out a smile as his vision blurred.
"Then I have no regrets Kagome. I love you." Kagome gasped. He loves me…
"I love you too, InuYasha." But InuYasha already went slump.
"InuYasha?" No reply.
"InuYasha… InuYasha! InuYasha! INUYASHA!" Kagome let free tears fall down. She sobbed in his chest.
"InuYasha… I'm sorry. I was too late… I should never have gone back. I should have listened to you… InuYasha…"
"Kagome…" a voice came from behind. Kagome forgot that everyone else was still there.
"Sango… Miroku… InuYasha… Inu… Yasha… he's dead…" Miroku and Sango exchanged looks.
"Dead? Kagome… are you sure? He's a demon…" Miroku suggested. Kagome cried harder.
"His… heart… it… it's… it stopped." She choked in between her words.
InuYasha…

Angry, mad, upset, and everything else that's negative... that's how Kagome feels now. So she sets out for Naraku. Herself. Will she die trying, or will she get the Shikon Jewel, and revive InuYasha?
Ja
