Chapter Eleven: Losing Love
Peace, peace, she cannot hear
Lyre or sonnet,
All my life's buried here,
Heap earth upon it
Requiescat by Oscar Wilde
“Hello Kagome,” a deep sweet voice came from behind her as strong arms wrapped themselves around her waist. Tears welled in Kagome's eyes. She had heard that voice so many times before, but it had all seemed so far away. She turned, very slowly, to see the man she had wanted to see for so long.
“Daddy!” she cried and jumped in his arms. She looked over his shoulder to see people everywhere looking and walking around. They were all from her time, and they had all come to the mountain.
“Kagome, you look like you've seen a ghost,” he smiled. Kagome blinked at him and stared the man straight in the face. They shared the same eyes, and hair. Kagome couldn't help it. She jumped in his arms again and let the teardrops roll down his shoulder.
“I've just missed you a lot, that's all,” she said again. Her voice was small, like a child's. She looked at her hands, they were little again. She was a child again, a child with a real father right in front of her. Daddy, we can have our second chance! her mind cried out. Inuyasha.
The name hit her like a ton of bricks. What about Inuyasha? She shook her head of the thoughts and smiled as her daddy picked her up and swung her around. As far as she was concerned, she was exactly where she needed to be.
“Kagome! Over here!” someone called out to her. She looked up to her Daddy. He was just staring in the direction of the voice. A little boy, with long silver hair and two cute puppy dog ears popped up out of no where in front of them. Hideki laughed and rubbed his hand between the boy's ears.
“Well, if it isn't Inuyasha! Where are your parents?” he laughed. Inuyasha pointed to a place where a happy couple was having a picnic. “Well, I'm going to go see Mr. Taisho. You stay here sweetie.” He bent down and kissed Kagome's forehead as he walked off. Kagome smiled. Her daddy was back, and Inuyasha was there too. They had their chance to be happy. To grow up together, to be a family, and to make her dreams come true.
“Hi,” she shyly said. He was cute for a little kid. He smiled at her and grabbed her hand. In a second she was flung on his back and they were going somewhere up the mountain. Kagome was very upset; she wanted to scream at the top of her lungs. She opened her mouth to, but Inuyasha's demanding adult voice stopped it. She opened her eyes to see herself riding on the adult Inuyasha up the same mountain, in the same time, and she was still a little girl.
“Don't even think about screaming Kagome,” he growled dangerously. Out of fear, she closed her mouth and sunk into herself. He grabbed her by her neck and flung her around. She stared at him with wide eyes as they finally came to a stop.
“Wha…”
“You left me Kagome,” he growled. His eyes turned crimson red. His fangs grew, and Kagome's world grew dark. She could barely see a faint outline of him, but she heard his voice ring out as clear as a bell.
“YOU LEFT ME KAGOME!” he yelled. Tears welled up in her eyes, demanding their freedom from the chocolate prison. “You left me. You promised me you would never leave, but you did. I was holding you in my arms and you left!”
“No, no, no, no,” she held her hands to her ears to block out the noise as she chanted. She didn't leave him. She didn't leave him. She just fell asleep. She was still in his arms.
“You ran away from me. Like I was some kind of a monster,” his voice turned soft. She could feel the pain dripping off his voice like blood drips from the end of a blade. “You promised.”
“I didn't leave you,” she cried. Then, he said five little words that tore her heart wide open. She couldn't bare it anymore.
“You are just like Kikyo.”
“NOOOO!” the cry came out like thunder across the field. Inuyasha was immediately by her side.
Ai clutched her heart. She could feel pain. Great and terrible pain. Kagome's pain. She looked at the girl with one great pink eye and gasped. There was a dark aura working around her. Whatever it was, it was succeeding in destroying Kagome.
“It's already been two and a half days Ai,” a darkly handsome voice reverberated in Ai's mind. She winced and fell into a soft slumber, leaving Inuyasha all alone.
“Death, it isn't wise of you to show your face,” she spat weakly. Death laughed. It was a part of his plan. By causing Kagome great pain by the one she loves, he could weaken Ai enough to kill her as well.
“She will be dead by nightfall,” he fiddled with a rosary in his hands. Ai cringed. Kagome's death would lead to something very terrible. “I'm afraid you won't have the privilege of witnessing it though.”
“Why not?” she asked. Her pink eyes grew to the size of saucers, blood leaked out the sides of her mouth. She slowly shifted her gaze down to where Death's hand had replaced her heart.
“You had a little accident,” he spat. Red eyes glared at the now dissipating spirit. He smirked. His work was done. With Ai out of the way, Kagome will never reawaken. She will die, thinking it by Inuyasha's hands. Best of all, the body Ai had while here will bare the same wounds he just inflicted on her spirit. Blood will spill on the ground, and on the half demon. He will be sentenced to death by the Council for killing a spirit.
“Oh what a glorious day this is.”
~Back in the Darkness of Kagome's mind~
“I am not like Kikyo,” she cried. No strong arms wrapped themselves around her, no comforting feh's. She was all alone, doomed to bare this pain in her mind. “Wait! That's right! This is only my mind, nothing more!” she thought. A small smile appeared on her lips.
The Inuyasha in her dreams appeared before her once more, his eyes as dark and unforgiving as before. “What?” he glared. Kagome looked up with teary eyes and a big smile.
“I'm not like Kikyo. You see, there's this one little thing that separates us. I'm alive. I'm in the here and now,” the dream Inuyasha's eyes widened and softened slightly, as if even in her dreams he thought of Kikyo. Kagome walked up to him, placed a hand on his cheek and stroked it. “I'm here now Inuyasha, I'm never going to leave you again. I love you.”
She leaned up and pressed her lips to his. It was passionate, full of love, and most of all real. She slowly fluttered her eyes open to see Inuyasha's face connected with hers, his lips on hers. She smiled, and deepened the kiss.
Unbeknownst to her, Ai lay just a few feet from them. Her body broken and blood pouring from it. Still, in this moment, Kagome could care less. The only thing she cared about was the fact that Inuyasha was with her now, kissing her now, loving her now, and nothing was taking that away.
