Chapter 3
"Ka-gome?" she didn't waver, the arrow was still aimed right at his heart. "Kagome! What are you doing?" Inuyasha was worried, why was she aiming an arrow at him? "Oh it's hopeless to try to talk to her, she can't hear you." A man stepped out of the shadows. He had grayish silver hair, blue eyes, and red triangles painted underneath his eyes.
"Who are you! And what have you done to Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled. "No, I think the more appropriate question is what did you do to Kagome? You are the whole reason she did this." "What do you mean?" Inuyasha growled. "You see, she thought that you would be more happy if Kikyo was alive than if she were alive, so she traded her existence for Kikyo's. Although, I highly doubt that she knew that she would become my slave. She probably thought that she would die instead, but I have no use for a dead girl." "You bastard!" "Now now Inuyasha, you know whose life I hold right now, so I suggest you be polite and let her kill all of you." With that the man disappeared.
"Kagome snap out of it!" Inuyasha yelled, he ran up to her and started shaking her. "Come on Kagome, what will it take to get you back?!" "Stop Inuyasha, your tactic is clearly not working." Miroku put his hand on Inuyasha's shoulder. "No I can't stop! She has to snap out of this!" he yelled, then he stopped. When he spoke again, it was a mere whisper filled with sorrow and despair, "I can't stop, she has to snap out of this. I need her to snap out of this." His head was bent towards the ground, "I know you need her, but we have to think rationally." Miroku comforted him. "I have to agree with the monk Inuyasha, we have to find a different way." Sango agreed. Shippo nodded his head. Inuyasha didn't know what came over him, but all of a sudden, he pulled her close. He had one arm around her waist, and the other on her neck, holding her to him tightly.
"Inu-yasha?" it was barely a whisper, but she still said something. He loosened his grip on her. She then pulled back, losing his grip on her. She was holding her head, she seemed like she was in pain. Then, she jumped onto a tree, and disappeared into the shadows. "Kagome!" Inuyasha fell to the ground. "Damn it, damn it damn it!" he pounded his fist into the ground.
