When the little girl disappeared from view, refusing to answer any of Kagome's desperate cries, a sudden anger coursed through Kagome – a feeling covering up a sense of failure. Failure for what exactly – Kagome didn't know.

All she knew was that this whole haunting thing was started to take its toll and her and she just wanted it to fucking end.

One by one the flicker of lights died out, and with it, the symbolism of the climbing of Kagome's anger and that sense of failure – neither did anything to please her.

Inuyasha gingerly touched the wound across his chest, his gaze moving from the form on the ground to his wound in disbelief. He knew the moment he heard 'yashie-poo' that it was Kikyou, and for a fraction of a moment, he even forgot that she wasn't of this world. But now…?

Now he was a believer.

Now he wondered what the fuck happened to Kagome. Now he wondered if she'll be alright.

Quickly pulling on his pants, his attention was snapped back to Kagome's rousing form. A soft moan escaped her lips as he buckled his pants, distancing himself more from her. Not knowing exactly what to expect, his curiosity was diminished as she began shaking uncontrollably, her mouth opening in a wide silent scream as her eyes flutter rapidly.

Without thinking, Inuyasha rushed to her form, reaching out to touch her but stopped when she gurgled painfully, as if his touch set her on fire. "Kags!" He hissed, his hands hovering over her form. "Are you there…?!"

Her response was more shaking, then her form arched sharply, froze for a few seconds before she went limp. Inuyasha watched in horror as bruises formed all over her body as if liquid was spilling over on something. "What the…" He eased back on his hunches, looking on with complete horror and helplessness.

When a couple seconds ticked on like minutes, a loud inhale of air rushed to fill Kagome's lungs as she arched once more off of the ground, her eyes rolling to the back of her head.

"That restless bitch…!" Kagome screamed, her blue orbs tearing quickly, clouding her vision as she once again allowed her body to lay limp on the ground – not even caring about her current nudeness.

Groaning as the pain assaulted her with one powerful force, Kagome's palm fisted, her tears falling freely as soft sobs escaped her lips. She didn't know why she was so moody, especially since all she could pinpoint was the new found hatred she had for Kikyou.

"Are you alright Kags?" Sweeping her up into his arms, he ignored her soft cry of pain and discomfort as his worry drowned him. "Oh gosh Kags – you had me worried and then… I saw Kikyou – you were Kikyou… and and…"

His rambling went on in stupor but Kagome understood him, and a part of her was glad that he finally accepted the impossible… Even though it took a firsthand encounter for such acceptance to approach him.

"She's still inside me…" Kagome whispered, her gaze misting over with more tears. "She's… She's still…" A soft cry broke her sentence, and she winched more in pain.

"It's okay – we can get through this…" Inuyasha whispered, rocking her slightly as her crying shook her very form. "There has to be a way to send her to wherever she's supposed to be," He gritted out, noticing that Kagome's lids fell closed with negative jerk of the head.

"She won't stop…" Sniffling loudly, she gripped Inuyasha's arm in desperation. "She's never going to stop."

"We'll definitely find a way!"

Inuyasha knew he had to find a way, he feared whatever idea Kagome had wouldn't do either of them any good, and he didn't think he could take such actions – not when it involved Kagome.

"I have to do something,"

It was like his heart was suddenly turned to glass and shattered against the wall. "No…" He hissed. "We'll look for a preacher and –…"

"It's my choice Inuyasha." Sniffling loudly one last time, she looked into his pained orbs. "My choice."
