Chapter 5: The Mistake And The Stolen Memories
"Do you think we will be able to fix Kagome?" Shippo asked, worried about Kagome.
"Of course we will, we will save Kagome!" Inuyasha scoffed as her scent caught his nose. Kagome! His thoughts screamed.
"Inuyasha, did you catch their trail?" Miroku asked as he Sango and Shippo followed on Kirara.
"Yes, their very close actually." Mitsuki, what are you planning?
"Miss Kagura?" I asked. She looked at me, startled.
"What do you want?" She said in a cocky tone.
"Could you please tell me what we're doing?" I could see her contemplating my question.
"We have been ordered to dispose of something." Mitsuki answered. I looked over at her, holding a tiny mirror protectively.
"The mirror?" I asked. She covered it up.
"Yes."
"But why? What is it?"
"It's none of your business!" She yelled at me. I backed off, it wasn't my place to say anything. It was her mirror. But I still felt myself intrigued by it, almost as if it involved me somehow.
"Why are we staying in this spot?" I asked.
"Because we are waiting on someone and once they show we will dispose of both him and this mirror!" She shouted. "Now stop with the questions!" My eyes widened in horror.
"Why do we have to kill that guy? What has he done to you?" For some reason I had this urge to protect him, it was crazy, I know. But my gut told me that he was…good.
"Because it is our job, your job actually!"
"Mitsuki, that's enough!" Kagura stepped in. "Kagome, you just need to calm down and shut up."
"So my name is Kagome! He did know me! But how? HOW?" I could feel my head throbbing in pain as I tried to remember.
"The mirror!" Mitsuki exclaimed. "She's trying to call back her soul!" She held the mirror tightly and fought against me. But just as I was about to remember anything that guy entered the clearing.
"Kagome!" He yelled out and ran towards me.
"Who are you?" I yelled back. "Why can't I remember anything? Why?" I bursted out into tears.
"Kagome…" He said softly as he stood in front of me.
"Step away from Kagome, Inuyasha!" Kagura yelled as she unleashed her winds on him, forcing him to retreat.
"Argh!" He screamed out. Upon seeing Mitsuki's guard down, he decided that now would be the best time to unleash his Wind Scar.
"Wind Scar!" He yelled as he pulled out Tetsusaiga and unleashed his attack.
"Now!" Kagura yelled as Mitsuki laid one last kiss upon her mirror and threw it at his attack.
"What?" He exclaimed as a bright light engulfed the area.
"Inuyasha!" Sango screamed as they landed shortly after the blast. He plunged Tetsusaiga into the ground to support himself.
"What was that?" Miroku asked. They all looked on the ground to see Mitsuki's Mirror, shattered.
"Kagome!" Kagura yelled as I fainted to the ground.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as well.
"Don't worry Kagura. Soon the tainted shard will take over what little soul she has left and she will become a totally different person. No memories of any of this." Mitsuki said. Inuyasha's eyes widened with panic.
"What did you say?" He screamed hysterically.
"In theory, Kagome is dead. And she died by your sword, Inuyasha." Mitsuki said to him. "Her soul was in that mirror, the Kagome you knew is gone forever."
Inuyasha's mind went blank. Everything around him just seemed like noise. That couldn't be true, he would have noticed the mirror. His eyes went toward me.
"Kagome…" He whispered before he became enraged. "Kagome!" He screamed and ran over to the shell of what Kagome once was.
(Kagome's Dream)
I could see nothing but darkness. Something's wrong! I thought as I tried to find an exit, but none existed.
"What's going on?" I screamed aloud. Then I could see him, his brilliant light shining through the darkness just before fading.
"Inuyasha!" I yelled but he was gone before I could even come close to reaching him.
"Please, help me!" I cried. I could feel my tears streaming down my cheeks. "Am I dead?" I whispered, falling into the darkness.
(Back to reality)
"The shard is taking affect!" Kagura said as she raised Kagome, Mitsuki and herself into the air on one of her feathers to get away from Inuyasha. "We have to return her to Naraku. We'll try for Kohaku another day." Mitsuki nodded in agreement before she started to feel strange. "Are you alright?" Kagura asked.
"I should be fine. Let's continue." She said back. Without the mirror, I don't know if I can survive! I have finally broken the hold Naraku had on my own soul, but now I may die as well as this girl! She thought as she looked down at the unconscious Kagome. "You poor fool." She said."Giving your life to the devil to prolong another's. What a waste." She said as they floated off.
"We can't lose their trail!" Inuyasha shouted as Sango and Miroku followed him.
"But is there any chance that we can save Kagome now?" Sango said as she thought of when Kagome made the promise of her own soul for Inuyasha's. If you die then you will have hurt Inuyasha more than Kikyo ever did. She thought.
"Sango, you must be optimistic. Otherwise you will ultimately set yourself up for failure." Miroku answered. She bit her lower lip.
"I know, but it's just…" she stopped herself. She couldn't let Inuyasha know of what Kagome had done in order to save him.
"What did you say, Sango?" Inuyasha yelled from below.
"It…It's nothing. Never mind." She said as they traveled on.
*(Kagome's Dream-cont.)
"I'm all alone." I said to myself. I pictured everyone in my mind. When all of the sudden everything turned to color. It was a warm summer day. Everyone was enjoying a nice picnic, but I wasn't there.
"Everyone!" I screamed out, reaching my arms toward them.
"Kikyo!" Inuyasha said. My heart stopped. I watched as Kikyo took my spot in the group. They happily continued on, as if nothing was missing.
"Isn't anyone missing me, how could they forget about me?" The word slipped through my lips as I tried to get their attention.
"Inuyasha, please!" I cried as I reached and grabbed his arm.
"What are you doing here?" He demanded. "You're not wanted. Go away." I could feel my heart break as I let go. I plunged back into the darkness, letting go of everything.
(Naraku's Castle)
"Good Job, Kagura, Mitsuki. You have both done well." Naraku said as his illusionary vines surrounded my body. Then a light shot out as the tainted shard took complete control over what soul I had left.
"She is under our control completely. All she needed was a little push in the right direction." He said as his vines dropped my body, waking me.
"Uhn, my head." I said as I looked around. "Who are you?" I asked. The man smirked and let out a tiny laugh.
There you go! I hope you liked it! I know it can get confusing at times, I write like I'm drawing the manga so…yeaahhh. Lol. Don't forget to review! And this is something new I'm trying, previewing the next chapter! Tell me if you guys like this or not. Until next time!
Preview of the next chapter: Naraku's plan has gone without any hitches so far, but when Mitsuki's falling apart, literally, a wrench may be thrown into the plan! Kagura feels bad for Kagome and wants to explain everything to Kagome, but Kagome has truly lost all of her memories, now she believes that Naraku's the good guy and that Inuyasha's the bad guy! Inuyasha's beating himself up over what happened, will Sango tell him the truth?
