Chapter 11- Revival

"What's taking so long? Does it ususally take this long?"

"Be patient Bankotsu. Her spirit is hared to retrieve than most others. She must be in a different place. Not heaven or hell."

"So where would that be?"

"I can't tell you. Seeing how I've never died, I don't know where you go besides heaven and hell."

"You can do it right?"

"Yes, but let me explain this all to you. I do not do this the way others do. When Kagome is revived she will not have to use souls to keep her here on Earth. However, she will only have a month to live. After that she can never be brought back again. So you are sure you want to do this? I have heard things about Kagome and her friends. They are very good people. I am not sure Kagome would like to use other people's souls, so for her this is the only way."

"Let's do it."

"As you wish."

"What do you think is taking so long?"

"I don't know."

"Shouldn't they be out by now?"

Inuyasha didn't answer. His eyes shot open and he slowly and painfully got to his feet.

"Inuyasha?"

"Shut up, can't you smell that?"

"Yeah, but you don't think it's really him do you?"

"Yeah, I do."

There was rustling in the trees and Sesshomaru came out. Obviously he didn't want to bring anyone else with him because he was quite alone.

"What the hell do you want Sesshomaru?"

"This is a strange place to find you, Inuyasha."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"I know what this place is."

"I thought Bankotsu said on;y few people knew about this place?"

"He was right. I am one of the few."

"I'll ask you one more time, what do you want?"

"Who are you trying to bring back? That priestess by the name of Kikyo?"

"How'd you know she was dead?"

"I just know. Or are you vringing back that girl that travels with you?"

Inuyasha didn't answer. He gripped Tetsaiga until his knuckles were white. Ready should there be any need to fight.

"Don't worry I didn't come to fight. I am curious as to who wounded you? Is that Kagura's blood I smell?"

"It's none of your damn business. Get the hell away from here!"

"I don't think I will."

Inuyasha was about to draw Tetsaiga when Shippou jumped onto his shoulder.

"Don't Inuyasha, you're hurt. Let's just wait and if he makes a move then we'll fight."

"Feh, I'm not hurt. I could kill him even if I was."

Inuyasha sat back up against the tree and waited.

"Miroku, I'm tired of waiting here. I think it's time for us to go looking for them."

"I think we should wait a few more days at least. Have faith in Inuyasha."

"I do have faith in Inuyasha, but what if Naraku got to them? What if Bankotsu is secretly working for Naraku and killed Shippou and Inuyasha while they were off gaurd?"

"I do not believe Bankotsu is working with Naraku."

"Why not?"

"Because of Kagome. They were getting to be good friends I think."

"Yeah, I guess you are right. Fine if they're not back within a week we go look for them. And fi we don't find anything then we'll somehow continue the journey on our own."

Miroku gave a small bow. He could see how worried Sango was. Especially about continuing th ejourney alone. They were all a team. And each had their own important role. He hoped for their sakes nothing was wrong.

He gathered all the courage he had and kissed Sango softly on the cheek. Not wanting to do something stupid he quickly walked away after that.

Sango touched her cheek and smile.

'Maybe he does know how to make a woman happy.'

Kagome could feel herself being pulled. It didn't hurt but it was a weird sensation. Like she was being sucked into a vaccum cleaner. Her body was becoming less and less there. You could see right through her.

"Sankotsu, what's happening to me?"

Sankotsu ran towards her.

"Your soul is being taken from here. Fight it Kagome!"

"I'm trying!" It was no use. Within seconds of her last words Kagome was gone.

Bankotsu watched Kaogme's eye lids flutter. He held back his smile. Lady Morshio had already went back deeper into the cave where she lived.

Kagome arms out stretched and she shot into a sit up position. Her breathing was rapid and there was fear in here eyes.

"Kagome? Are you okay?"

Her arms dropped to her side and her breathing back to normal.

"What happened? I was with Sankotsu and then I was sucked threw a tunnel of some kind."

"Kagome your back. I brought you back."

Kagome grappeb the front of his clothes.

"Why did you do that? I told you not to do that!"

"It really was you?"

"Of course it was me! I told you not to do it!" Kagome sounded on the verge of tears. She exspected them not to come, but they did.

"Kagome, I told you I wouldn't listen."

Kagome was no longer listening. She touched the tear on her cheek.

"How is this possible? My body isn't real."

"Actually it is. I figured a new way to bring people back just as they were before. Really and truely alive. The only thing is, you only get one month to live."

"Kagome that's Lady Morshio."

"A month will have to do then. We need to get going. We have to get the remaining shards and kill Naraku."

She got up and quickly ran out of the cave. Bankotsu smiled and after thanking Morshiop ran after her.

Inuyasha stood up as quickly as he could. Kagome looked around and was almost knocked over when Shippou jumped into her arms.

"Kagome! Kagome! I'm so glad your back!"

"I'm glad to be back too Shippou." Kagome put Shippou on the ground and went over to Inuyasha and gave him a hug.

She noticed that Inuyasha was looking off to the side so she too turned and looked.

"Sesshomaru?"

"So, you brought this one back? Well, I hope you enjoy your short month."

Sesshomaru walked back into the forest.

"What the hell is he talking about?"

"I have no idea."

Bankotsu came running out just as Kagome pulled out of Inuyasha's arms.

"Come on guys. I really want to see Sango and Miroku and Kirara."

Hope you guys like this one. It's a little longer than the last few so enjoy!!!
