Escape- a Kouga/Kagome Story
Chapter 9: Revived
Back in the Mountains
Urasue ventured far into the land, suddenly veering downwards and cutting a giant portal with her magical scythe. She plunged in, and was met with the two giant stone statues that guarded the gates to the underworld. She passed them, cutting open a secret passageway that led to the netherworld. This was where the rest of her new puppet's soul went. Since he was an incomplete soul and had not yet reincarnated, she knew the rest of the soul would wait here for something to retrieve it. Carefully Urasue collected the rather dark and beaten down soul into her youkai sack, leaving quickly after. The netherworld was known to steal still living souls and turning them into ghosts. She didn't wish to be the next one. In another three days she reached her cave, and Inuyasha's body was still in its limp, dozing state. He would sometimes awaken in the dead of night or on new moons, but then he would only be able to move his arms outwards and call out her name, wishing to be freed before he would tire out and sputter back into darkness.
Urasue took out the remaining soul and watched with glee as the soul reentered its rightful body and Inuyasha gasped back to life. His pale skin brightened with a healthy tan and his dead, rusty gold eyes exploded back to full color, wide with shock. His matted hair automatically returned to its wild yet perfect state as his body healed itself again. He stood then, naked and cold. He looked around him, glad to be freed from the bridge of life and death. Urasue smiled, her toothless gums glistening with spit. "Welcome back, Inuyasha. Since I was the one to revive you, you will repay me by being my servant!" she croaked. Inuyasha turned his head to look at her with heavy lidded eyes. With a blank face he raised his hand, powered up his claws and did away with the oni witch. "I…will not be controlled. I will find Kagome; I will wait for her and bring her back to me." He stated before putting on his clothes and walking out of the cave. He would bring her back.
With Kagome
Kagome walked silently, her eyes set straight ahead and her hand weakly clutching Kouga's. She needed the silence, and thanked Kouga for being quiet. Then, a familiar yet old aura flared to life and she jumped, placing a hand on her chest to sooth her excited heart. Kouga felt it, too, and looked around for the source. Then he smelled salt from Kagome and he turned to see tears freely cascading down her cheeks as she gasped silently, the edges of her mouth turned in a smile- albeit a sad one. "What is it Kagome?" he asked. Kagome turned to look at him with saddened gray eyes and joyful, vibrant green one. "He's back. Inuyasha has been revived." She replied simply.
