The Dreams Of Sorrows

Chapter 4 Crimson Tears Of Sorrow

By Inuyashas Youkai

In the vast distance within the midst of the gates holding the forgotten souls in the ma yo-tta ta ma shii ajiro(Lost Soul's Gates), prison located in the Kurai kokudo no naka de Yamato Damashii – (Japanese Fighting Spirit Granted No Surrender Within Darker Realms) .This realm where this impenetrable cell guarded by demons ,housing lost souls on this plane,separates between the one of the living ,and the one of the dead. Kagome was centered in the middle of it all ,spirits drawn to her fading warm light,and this would be only for a time until her soul would be devoured. Consumed by the souls gathered around her ,telling her lies,easing her towards the darkness, in hopes to gain being lead away from this place when they swallow her soul.

Still Inside the room with Sesshomeru from where Inuyasha was first called to discuss Kagome's fate. The hanyou was now at a stand still, knowing that becoming her mate was something he wanted but didn't know if she wanted the same . Over time Kagome had become distant with him and finding some parts of the miko closed off from him,and granted he knew why. There was a time that Inuyasha out of obligation to his past affections towards Kikyo, the hanyou would've left in death with her but ,no longer. Although that was one of the many things that were failed to be passed to Kagome as it should have long ago . Since then Kagome had pulled back away from the hanyou and sought time with their friends that in Inuyasha's eyes made up their pack. At one time he knew Kagome's feelings towards him but know Inuyasha simply didn't have a clue,and the others didn't either.

In the end Inuyasha agreed accepting the consequences fully ,not wanting his brother Sesshomeru to step in and take her as his mate,because if anyone was going to have Kagome as a mate it would be him ,though for Inu's it would be his last. Now decided ,Sesshomeru would have to prepare Inuyasha in the way in taking his mate , to set out in the path of the spirit realm to find his mate,and all before time ran out. The eldest of the two began to explain what would have to be done and in the end alerting him what would happen if Inuyasha should fail. After taking Kagome not only if the hanyou loses her would they lose the battle with Naraku but in severe grief that Inuyasha would be burdened with loss for his lost mate,Inuyasha would in the end die a painful death,and follow his mate.

One everything was understood Inuyasha went to return to his room ,the hanyou sat on the bed holding his 'to be mate 'in his arms,and began to allow his transformation to overcome him. Turning her head so her neck was deliciously barred to him, and quickly sunk his teeth into her supple flesh . After sealing the would with his tongue ,Inuyasha laid her back down before saying his farewell until they would meet again soon when he brought her back to him, and that he loved her . The hanyou then rose from the bed once Sesshomeru entered to watch over the girl while Inuyashas left her body to save her soul.

Lifting his sword summoning the Meido Zangetsuha ,so Inuyasha could enter the gates leading to the spirit real for lost souls. Upon facing the guards in the shape of the the Sankai Ibutsu (山海異物), a baku with the form Chinese mythical chimera with an elephant's trunk, rhinoceros eyes, an ox tail, and tiger paws, which in belief protected against pestilence and evil,that devour dreams and nightmares . at either sides of the gates there was a alter where a blood sacrifice ,as his brother Sesshomeru told him was where Inuyasha needed to with the use of the blade, musabori kuu chishio ( chishio 血汐 = blood spilt from body Devour: eat musabori kuu ),and slice open across where the pulse point was on his arm to spill blood to enter the gates. Walking towards the alter next to the two guards with the intricate four pillars representing the four elements and gripping the blade within his left hand. With one swipe across his right arm, the river of blood ran down the blade tip to puddle on the floor,and soon sending the hanyou to his kness to meet his awaiting unconsciousness as he fell to the ground ,and with one thought chanting within his mind.

~'I am Coming for you love , wait for me. " ~

Awoken once again on the other side surrounded in darkness ,the only light was slowly fading , Inuyashas soul rushes towards it knowing who it was and what it meant. It was Kagome and her time was running out,and it was confirmed when Inuyasha entered where the dying light was centered. Held tightly against her will ,the souls surrounding her were in a tight circle and their mouths were held agape . Kagome's eyes were now crimson bleeding with rouge tears but were unseeing while the souls were sucking her soul into themselves to consume her from within. Taking ahold of Kagome 's soul and removing themselves from their sight before they'd consumed her entirely ,until Kagome's soul disappeared from sight,and Inuyasha was now alone. Soon following Kagome his soul faded away from their reach just before they turned ,to finish their intent on him,with tears matching his mates.

In the end ,it wasn't a lot of time that passed before Sesshomeru used his granting pulse of Tenseiga to bring them both back from within the spirit realm where everything seemed to be in slow motion. So every movement appeared like it took forever when it actually took less than a hour for the hanyou to reach his mate, combining with the connection through their bond ,and that with the summon of Tenseiga . Sesshomeru and Inuyasha were able to bring her back from the dead ,and tying her lifespan to that of his brother Inuyasha.
