Chapter 6- Kagome Finally Visits Inuyasha
This is between season 2 episode 42 "The Wind Scar Fails" and season 2 episode 43 "Tetsusaiga Breaks". Kagome witnessed the battle between Inuyasha and Naraku's incarnations, Kagura the Wind Sorceress and Kanna the Mirror Void. When Inuyasha was resting, Kagome had to visit him, letting Inuyasha think that it is a dream. Plus, what if her mind told her that between those two episodes beside season 2 episode 48 "Return to the Place Where We First Met"? What if Inuyasha never fought the giant soul collector that Naraku lured to steal Kikyo's souls and never met Kikyo at the Sacred Tree?
While Inuyasha was resting from his injuries, he found out that Kikyo was helping Naraku to get the remaining sacred jewel shards. He woke up, and saw a woman with raven black hair, wearing a green cloak and the hood was off on her head. The woman turned around, and Inuyasha saw Kagome's face as she saw what Naraku's incarnations did to him. She asked Inuyasha, "Did you miss me?"
Inuyasha said, "Kagome? I thought you were gone."
Kagome replied, "Yeah, I heard of that too. But here I am in here with you."
Inuyasha asked, "What happened to you?"
Kagome answered, "It's complicated Inuyasha. Really complicated. Worse than I thought you were dead from your injuries in the battle against Sesshomaru."
Inuyasha asked again drowsily, "What happened after I pushed you back home to the other side of the well? We all want to know."
Flashbacks came back from Inuyasha hugging Kagome to Inuyasha pushing Kagome. Kagome said, "You already do. You, Miroku, and Shippo combined with the girl, Sango, to join forces. You remember more about that day than you think you do."
Flashbacks came again when Inuyasha walked with Kagome to the forest and Inuyasha sealed the well with a tree. Inuyasha and Kagome heard something from outside, yet Inuyasha asked, "Where'd you go? To go somewhere safe? Away from here?"
Kagome snickered, "Away from here? Please."
Inuyasha said, "Please, just tell me the truth."
Kagome said, "It won't make any difference, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha asked, "How can you say that?"
Kagome explained, "Because I know. You think the truth is some big power shield that keeps away from any demons. Then, go ahead and try it. Be honest, see what it gets you. Telling the truth to the wrong person at the wrong time is how I ended up where I am. Take it from me… you're always better off without me before I came into this world. Now that I see how are you without me, you look worse."
Inuyasha started to get sleepy as Kagome looked at her watch and told him, "Gotta go."
As she approached to the draped door, Inuyasha asked her, "Where?"
Kagome looked at Inuyasha one last time before she heads off, "I was so scared that you were gonna die. That's why I came back. I didn't care how dangerous it was. I had to see you again. I wanted to be with you Inuyasha. I tried to forget you after you pushed me down to the well, but I can't. I hope one day when we meet again, you could let me stay as I stay with you."
Kagome said one last thing, "You know, I really should do something about Naraku. That bastard is genuinely getting on my nerves."
When Inuyasha went to sleep, Kagome stopped herself before she headed to the door. She turned around and went towards Inuyasha and kissed his lips. After she kissed him, she caressed his cheek, and ran away from the hut. She thought, "I can never break the bond between Inuyasha and Kikyo. I understand that. But there's another thing I've come to realize, Inuyasha. My meeting with you is no coincidence. It's more than that. Deep down, you must know that I want you to live."
