Chapter 33

Taking her soul

Why did it feel like she was being dragged into the mirror?

"Kagome! Get away!" She vaguely heard Inuyasha yelling to her but he sounded so far away. Her mind was yelling at her to move, get away, but her body just wouldn't comprehend.

Her feet didn't listen and took one tiny step closer.

'What's happening? Why can't I move away?' She thought.

"Kagome! Snap out of it! Get aw-" Inuyashas voice cut off and she tried to turn her head to see what happen.

'Inuyasha!' She yelled in her mind. Why did he stop yelling? Was he okay? Finally with all the force she had, her head turned to see Inuyasha and her eyes widen as he stood there with three guys holding him. His eyes burned with rage and his fist were clenched. One of the guys had a gun to the side of his head and she realized he had no choice but to keep quiet. Their eyes locked for a little bit and his eyes softened.

"Get away." He mouthed to her.

Kagome bit her lip to keep back her tears.

"Kagome." She heard Kanna say. She closed her eyes and tried not to turn her head back towards the mirror. It didn't work and the next time her eyes opened she was staring straight into the white mirror the girl was holding. Her eyes glazed over as she stared at the black tunnel like void in the mirror.

'What's happening?' She thought.

Kanna grinned evily as she started chanting some spell.

"Basterds!" She stopped chanting and jumped at the sudden yell. She look around and saw Inuyasha trying to fight off the three guys holding him.

Not threatend from it she turned back to Kagome and returned to chanting her spell. A couple seconds later she was interrupted again from the sudden bang and the yell from another girl and a yell from another guy. She paused in her excercise and looked back again. Inuyasha was now laying on the ground, a pool of blood surrounding him. Sango and Miroku were the ones who yelled as they stood there with shock on their faces. She would've shook her head if she didn't feel Kagome forcing away from her.

Kikyo was going to be mad. She wanted Kagome to be the one to get hurt, not Inuyasha.

She resumed in her spell and concentrated really hard. Kagomes eyes glazed over again and her body went limp. She fell to her hands and knees still trying to look away. Kanna had to admit. This girl was strong. Suddenly Kagome started to glow a bright pink and the mirror started to shake.

Her eyes widend for a moment before she narrowed her eyes. Gripping the mirror tightly to keep it from shaking she chanted louder as her knuckles turned white.

Kagomes hands clenched tighter trying with all her might to call for her miko powers. She was scared. She had heard the gun shot just seconds ago but didn't have the strength to move. Kanna's mirror was too strong and held her in place. The mirror grew stronger when she saw Kanna narrow her eyes and start saying something. Was she trying to kill her?

Kagome heard sirens. She forced her eyes up when the mirror lost some of its hold on her. Seconds went by and Kanna stopped chanting. The last few seconds she felt something from inside her being pulled into the mirror right before Kanna dragged her mirror away and turned around.

Kagome forced her eyes to the little girl and she saw her. Kikyo was pulling Kanna's hands and dragging her away. They both got into a black car and sped off just as she saw police cars pull in after them. She closed her eyes and let unconsiousness overwelm her.

-Kikyo, Naraku, and Kanna-

"Did you get it?"

"I didn't get all of it. She is really strong. I was only able to get half of her soul before you pulled me away." Kanna said.

"The cops were right there! We could've been caught you know! Urgh! I thought you said she was ready Naraku!" Kikyo glared at the driver.

Naraku sped down the road making sure that no police were on his tail. He glared right back at Kikyo with ice cold eyes. "She was ready Kikyo. It takes time to get someones soul. You can't do it in seconds. Just be happy she has half of her soul. Without half of it, she's nothing. We can plan for the next time to take her other half."

Kikyo let out an exasperated breath and leaned back against the car seat. Her eyes widend as she remembered something. "What happen to Inuyasha? I saw him on the floor when I got there and blood around him! He aint dead right?" She yelled.

"I don't know what Hiten and Manten did to him but I will talk to them about it later." Naraku said.

"He better had not be dead!'' No one answered her as they drove back to their hideout.

-Hospital-

Sango and Miroku sat in the waiting room of the hospital. Sango sat next to Miroku holding his hand tightly. Her eyes were red from crying and her hair a mess from running her hands through it all night. They arrived at the hospital three hours ago after the incident in the park.

Inuyasha had been in surgery ever since and Kagome was in a hospital room. The doctors had told her that nothing was wrong with her but she wouldn't wake up. They assumed that the mirror Sango and Miroku told them about had something to do with it. A doctor came out with a clipboard and told them that Kagome was awake and expecting them. Miroku nodded and followed Sango to Kagomes room.

"Kagome? Are you alright?" Sango asked sitting next to her bed.

Kagome nodded that she was despite the killer migraine she had right now. "What happen?" She asked softly.

"We don't know. That little girl in the park did something to you with her mirror. We don't know what though."

"Kikyo. She did it. I saw her drag the girl away right before I fainted. She was in it too." Kagome said. She couldn't shake the feeling of emptiness inside her but ignored it anyways.

Sango sat back and glared at the wall. "Damn. Bitch doesn't know when to drop this shit." She said angrily. "Really Kagome. It's time that we stop this. She can't keep coming out of nowhere trying to hurt you. And you know what? I bet that scuba accident was no accident." Kagome turned her head to look at her with mild shock. "I bet she was in that too. This has got to stop. We gotta find her and beat her fucking ass."

Miroku gaped at Sango. He had never seen her so mad before. Her eyes were on fire and her hands clenched in fist. All he could do was nod.

"Where's Inuyasha?" Kagome asked trying to change the subject.

Sangos firey eyes softend and her clenched hands relaxed. She sighed and looked at Kagome.

Kagome swallowed the lump in her throat. "Is...Is he okay?"

Sango shruged. "We don't know. Um...When you were hypnotized or whatever by the little girl. I don't know if you saw him...but..."

"What? He's okay right?"

"He's in surgery. One of the guys shot him in the chest. It's really close to his lung. He's been in surgery for three hours."

Kagome felt tears prick the back of her eyes. She leaned back against the pillows and closed her eyes. "What about the police? Do they know that Kikyo was in this? Did they find her?"

"I don't think so. They left before the police could catch them. They were too busy bringing you guys here to the hospital. And tomarrow they want to ask questions. You could tell them about Kikyo tomarrow."

"Sure."

-Naraku and Kikyo-

"Why the hell did you shoot him?" Kikyo yelled glaring angrily at Hiten, Manten, and Muso - the three guys holding down Inuyasha earlier.

"He was trying to escape. It was the only way to get him down. Otherwise he would've stopped Kanna." Hiten said irritably.

"You didn't have to shoot him! He could be dead right now and it'll be all your fault! What if you killed him?"

"Kikyo. Calm down and sit." Naraku said.

Kikyo opened her mouth to yell at him too but the glare he shot her stopped anything from coming out of her mouth and made her sit.

"I told you three plenty of times not to hurt the hanyou. You disobeyed my request."

"We are sorry Naraku. It was the only choice we had." Manten said suddenly scared at what Naraku would do to him.

"Bull shit!" Kikyo yelled. Naraku glared at her.

"You guys should leave before I decide to kill you." Naraku said coldly. Manten stood up and walked away. Hiten and Muso sat there for a little while longer glaring at Naraku before standing up and leaving also.

-Hospital-

The rest of thenight they talked about things mostly waiting for the doctor to come in and inform them on Inuyashas situation. It was noon - nine hours after surgery - when a doctor came into Kagomes room. She and Miroku were the only ones awake. Sango had fallen asleep around seven that morning on Mirokus lap. Kagome immediatly sat up when the doctor came in. His face was blank so you couldn't tell if he had good news or bad news.

"Higurashi, Kagome?" He asked looking down at his clip board.

"Yes. That's me." Kagome said.

"And you are Takahashi, Inuyasha's girlfriend, right?"

"Yes I am."

"Where is his legal guardian?"

"Um...His older brother isn't here. He doesn't have parents."

"Alright. The surgery went well. The bullet was really close to his lungs and it did cause some damage so he wont be able to breath normally for a few days. He's stable right now but we need to keep a watchful eye on him. He should be waking up in a few minutes. The anesthesia will cause some drowsiness and he'll be tired and wousy. You may go to his room if you'd like."

Kagome started to get up. She clutched the bedside when she felt lightheaded.

"You should be careful. We don't know yet what happen to you. Later on we might have to take some blood test to make sure everything is normal. For now though for your safety you should use a wheelchair to get around." The doctor brought over a wheelchair for Kagome to sit on and helped her with the IV. Kagome winced at the large needle in her arm. Miroku gently shook Sango to wake her up. He told her that they were gonna go see Inuyasha. She stood up and rubbed the sleepiness from her eyes. Miroku wheeled Kagome to Inuyashas room with Sango beside him.

Kagome cringed as she entered the room. He had an IV sticking out of his arm also but he also had several more wire connected to his body. His chest was wrapped in bandages and there were a lot of cuts and scrapes on his arms and hands. There was a breathing tube in his nose helping him breath right. Kagome got up and sat in the chair next to his bed. She blinked back tears and held his hand gently. Miroku and Sango sat in the chairs across from his bed.

No one said anything for a while waiting for Inuyasha to awake. Finally he stirred and his eyes opened slowly. He blinked a few times waiting for his eyes to adjust to the brightness.

"Inuyasha?" He turned and looked at Kagome.

"Kagome?"

"Are you alright? Do you need anything?" Kagome asked.

"Where am I? What happend?" He asked. He remembered bits and pieces of the night before but it took too much energy to put it all together and he didn't have that energy right now.

"Remember last night when we were walking home in the park?" Kagome asked him.

"Yeah." Things were slowly coming back to him and he had to close his eyes to keep the room from spinning.

"Well...that little girl, the one who was lost, she did something to me. I don't know what but she used the mirror."

"I remember her." Inuyasha said now opening his eyes.

"Yeah." Kagome looked to Sango and Miroku for help.

Inuyasha turned to them too.

"Hey man." Miroku said. Inuyasha nodded.

"Hey. We don't know what the girl did to Kagome. But when you tried to protect her and tried to escape from them guys, one of them shot you. You just got out of surgery and the doctor said your stable but the bullet graced your lung and it'll be hard for you to breath for a few days."

"Who the hell was behind this?" He asked gripping Kagomes hand tightly but not realizing it.

"Inuyasha. My hand." Kagome said.

He looked down at their hands and loosend his grip. Kagome let go and flexed her muscles. After she was done he grabbed her hand again and held it gently as Kagome smiled.

"I think I know who's behind it." Kagome started. Inuyasha looked at her expectantly and she squirmed under his gaze. "Before I fainted, I saw Kikyo drag away the little girl. They got in a car but I didn't see the driver. I think she is behind this."

Inuyasha growled and looked around. Sango looked pretty mad right about now. He shut his eyes and gritted his teeth. "Damn bitch."

"Inuyasha, you need to rest. After your better...Sango said that we should do something about this. I agree. I'm tired of Kikyo trying to destroy out lives."

"Damn right we're going to do something about this. Fucking bitch ain't getting away with it." Inuyasha growled and then realized something. His eyes softened and he looked at Kagome. "You're okay right? She didn't do anything to do?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." She lied. She still had that huge migraine. She kept to herself the empty feeling she had. "Come on. You should rest."

"We're gonna stop by Sesshomaru's place to let him know. He should know about this. See you guys later?" Miroku said.

Inuyasha and Kagome nodded. "Thanks. See you later." Kagome said. Sango and Miroku left to Sesshomaru and Rin's house. Inuyasha glared at the door after they left. Kagome frowned and kissed his cheek. That brought him out of his state of transe and he smiled softly at her. His breathing was harsh and heavy and she was concerned about him. "You're going to be okay?" Kagome asked.

He nodded. "Yeah. I'm fine." Inuyasha scooted over on his bed and patted the spot next to him. "C'mere."

Kagome looked around. "I don't think you're allowed to have other people on your bed."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "I don't care. I ain't that sick. Get over here."

Kagome smiled and carefully climbed in bed next to him. She kept the wheelchair next to her with her IV stand. Inuyasha kissed her forehead and brought her closer. She hugged him around his waist careful to keep away from his injury and sighed happily.
