Chapter 4: Promise of Death

The gang couldn't believe their eyes. Kagome was standing before them with a bow and arrows prepared to fight. They were knocked out of their stupor when another arrow was shot at them.

"Kagome! Whats wrong with you?" Inuyasha shouted. But she merely shot another arrow at him, which he dodged. The group was standing together when Kohaku asked,

"Is that what i was like under Naraku's control?"

Sango winced but forcefully said,

"It wasn't you and this isn't Kagome! Narakus manipulating her. Just as he did, you."

"She also has a jewel shard embedded in her chest." Came a cold, dead voice.

Everyone turned to see Kikyo.

"What?" Inuyasha demanded turning back to Kagome.

"She's being controlled by Naraku with a sacred jewel shard. It's in her chest."

"And, most likely her memories have been erased," Kohaku added, "that was one of Narakus favorites." Just then Kagura swooped in on her feather and used her dance of blades and that distracted the group long enough for Kagome to come right up behind Inuyasha, who was currently a few yards away from the rest of the group.

"Pay attention." she stated piercing a knife in inuyasha back.

"Kagome why are you doing this?" Inuyasha grunted. Kagome started shaking. Her breathing increased and she grabbed her head.

"Inu...Ya..sha?"she strained.

"Kagome, resist Naraku."

"Shut up!" Just then Kagura came up beside her and snatched Kagome onto her feather and they both returned to Naraku.

(W/ INUYASHA)

"We need to get him to Keade."

"Yes, he's still alive but that got very close to his heart."

"We must hurry."

That was all Inuyasha heard before he passed out. While unconscious he could hear a voice. But whose was it? 'Kagome.' he thought.

"Inuyasha."

"Kagome is that you?"

"Inuyasha please help me. I'm so sorry I never wanted anyone to get hurt."

"Kagome were are you?"

"I'm so sorry."

"Kagome you didn't do anything! you were trying to resist Naraku but,"

"But it's my fault I'm under his control."

"Kagome just tell me were you are we can get you away from him?"

"I don't deserve your help... Inuyasha do you really want to help me?"

"Of course! Come on Kagome tell me were you are dammit!"

"Promise me."

"Promise what?"

"You have to promise before I tell you."

"Kagome?"

"Just promise me!"

"NO! Kagome just tell me were you are!"

"I can't."

"Why?" silence. "Kagome!"

"Inuyasha...WAKE UP!"

Inuyasha's eyes flashed open as he regained consciousness.

"Inuyasha, are you okay?" came a small voice. He turned to she Shippo.

"This is nothing," he stated. "where's Miroku and Sango?" and as if on cue they entered the hut.

"Inuyasha you really shouldn't try to move yet." Miroku advised.

"Whats wrong Shippo?" Sango asked. The little kit jumped on Sango's shoulder and whispered that Inuyasha had been calling out to Kagome.

"Okay, why don't you go train with Kohaku."

" 'Kay." he stated running out of the hut.

"I heard her." Inuyasha informed.

"I heard Kagome."

"What do you mean?" Sango asked.

"While I was unconscious... I could hear her voice."

"What did she say?" Miroku asked.

"She kept sayin' she was sorry. and she wanted me to promise her something. but she wouldn't tell me what." There was silence.

"We need to get her away from Naraku as soon as possible."

"But how?" Sango asked.

"I don't know. But we need to get her away from him before he sends her on killing sprees."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"First, however. You need to rest and give you injuries time to heal. If we are to face Kagome or Naraku again." Miroku stated. Inuyasha was about to argue but Miroku cut him off,

"Inuyasha don't make us seal the hut again. Because we will if we need to."

Inuyasha remembered the incident with Royorkan. How they had sealed him in the hut with sutras. However that was also when he had pushed Kagome back to her era so nothing like this would happen to her. Inuyasha laid back down and fell into a light sleep, then he heard Kagome again.

"Inuyasha."

"Kagome."

"Are you okay."

"I'm fine but how are we able to communicate like this?"

"I'm still under Naraku's control but I can regain consciousness when he heaves me alone. I using my miko powers to talk to you. I'm so sorry."

"Kagome is there anyway to get you away from Naraku?"

"Kagura and I are still trying to find a way to leave with our lives."

"There is something I still don't understand."

"What?"

"Why? Why did you give yourself to Naraku?"

"..."

"Answer me Kagome!"

"..."

"KAGOME!"

"he lied to me."

"Huh?"

"Naraku said he would kill me once he did what i asked him to do."

"Why did you want to die?" a pause.

"I felt so worthless. Like I was burdening you all. I guess when I think about it what Naraku said was correct."

"What did he say to you?"

"It doesn't matter anymore."

"It matters to ME!"

"Oh, no! Inuyasha I don't have much time. Naraku is planing on sending me to kill all of the villagers."

"What?"

"Inuyasha I won't know who I am when I wake up. So I need you to promise me something, RIGHT NOW INUYASHA! I barley have any time left." she was panicking.

"What?"

"Kill me."

"WHAT! NO!"

"You have to!"

"NO!"

"WHY!"

"Becuase, I LOVE YOU!" Thats when he woke up.

"Damn. SANGO! MIROKU!"

"Whats wrong Inuyasha?" they asked.

"Prepare for battle. Kagome's comin'

"How do you..."

"Just hurry!" Inuyasha demanded.

They grabbed their weapons and when they were at the edge of the village, she was there. Kagome was there.
