Chapter 5: Dream confession
Kagome was dreaming.
She was in the feudal era and was walking in the InuYasha forest when she saw soul collectors. Kikyo… thought Kagome. She quickly followed. Upon her arrival she saw InuYasha and Kikyo in a deep embrace.
"Come with me," said Kikyo.
He nodded and kissed her deeply. Kagome tried to yell for him but he felt still very far away. The ground opened below them but InuYasha just smiled. Kagome ran to them and grabbed InuYasha's shoulders and force him away from Kikyo.
He turned and looked at her while slowly sinking. "Why do you do this? Why do try to force me to leave the one I love?" A tear welled in each eye…
Something's off, thought Kagome, InuYasha never cries…
Just then he looked at Kikyo and frowned. Then looked back at Kagome. He then heard him say what she had hoped he would never say to her. "Why would I settle for a copy, when I could have the original?"
She shut down and dropped to her knees, "Why? Why would you do this to me now?"
"Because it's true," she heard Kikyo say.
InuYasha then placed his hand on her chest, right where her heart was, and gave a good shove. Not only did it hurt physically but it was like her heart had shattered. She slammed against a tree.
At that point, long familiar tentacles wrapped around her and held her to the tree. InuYasha turned and looked at her with an evil grin. Then she knew it wasn't InuYasha, nor was that Kikyo. The faces shifted and Naraku became present… but… Naraku is dead…
The tentacles squeezed tighter and tighter but she didn't scream from that, the pain in her chest and torso hurt too much to even pay attention to that. Naraku laughed, "I won't kill you," he said with a chuckle, "but I'm very sure that he will." He gestured to his left and from behind a tree a demon came out.
It was InuYasha… but it also wasn't. Not to her.
"InuYasha," she whispered.
He growled.
"I love you."
InuYasha was nearing the "hospital" and he only hoped that she was alright…
