Chapter 6- living a Lie

 

“Why did Kagome want us to leave her for dead?” Sango asked while grooming Kirara.

 

“Well, we can tell there is something that there not telling us. I hope to god Kagome is alright.” Miroku replied.

 

“Uh… Sango, Kagome went back to her own time. She is very upset. That child feels like everybody hates her.” Kaede came over and spoke with them.

 

 

 

`Damn them, damn them all they weren't supposed to save me. They just want to put me through even more torture. They want me to suffer. They want me to suffer for that I'm not from their time.' Kagome thought. `I'm just that jewel detector. Everybody just wants the jewel, well they have it now.'

 

She hopped out of the well and opened the door, to find flames consuming her home. “No… No… No!” Tears swelled up in her eyes. She darted towards her house, fire alarms rushing to her house. They tell her not to go in. They tell her it's unsafe. She still runs on, trying to get her family. Bursting through the window. She wanders through her once a home to her.

 

“Ma, Souta, Gramps? Where are you guys?” She screams. Tears blurred her vision. She runs upstairs. The steps crackle from the flames she's trap upstairs. Searching through the bedrooms not finding anyone.

 

Closing in on her, the flames guiding her to her bedroom. Touching her doorknob, burning her hand. She jumps back in a shock. Smoke covers the walls, she trap; she's going to die along with her family. Placing her hand over the knob again.

 

A face comes through the door. “Are you ready to see your dead family?” It speaks. She screams back. “They're not dead!” Pushing the door harder, falling through the opening. She looks up and finds her family screaming in agony, as the flames catch on they're hair. The smell, she couldn't stand the smell, Screaming she runs towards them, but is pushed back by a force, “No… They can't die like this…”

 

Watching her family scream over and over again. Her family burns and they're faces still burn through her mind. They're screaming for her help, still haunts her mind. She doesn't move from the spot but the fire doesn't seem to touch her she trapped in her room, not moving but watching the flames dance through her mind.

 

“I'm sorry, I couldn't save you, Ma, Souta, Gramps, come back to me…”

She whimpers. Pulling herself to her feet. Dragging her across he room to where her family lays. They're faces in an agony. She places they're heads into her lap. And just sits there in a daze.

 

 

“Where did that girl go?” One of the chief asked. Her searched everywhere, but couldn't seem to find her.

 

“Demon!” One of his men screamed in terror.

 

A demon jumps out of the well. “Where is she?” He yells pouncing on his men.

 

“ I don't know what you're talking about. Please don't kill me.” His men begged.

 

“Demon let my men go. Are you looking for a girl in a green skirt?”

 

He growled at the man but let the man he was holding go. “Where is she?”

 

“I think she ran off into the fire…” He jumped off into the house without even a thank you.

 

“Damn it Kagome. Why did you go into the house? You could be dead.” Inuyasha mumbled to himself.

 

 

~*INU POV*~

 

`I found her in her room crying. She had her family on her lap. She stared at me lifeless. She didn't even acknowledge I was standing in front of her. I picked her up and carried her out of the room. She started to scream once I got her out of the house.'

 

`I placed her on the ground she kept screaming `Ma, Souta, Gramps, don't leave me' I went back in the house and grab her family's corpses. She and I buried them under Goshinboku. Her face was still in a daze; five hours have past since we buried her family. She sits at their graves, and stares at the tree.'

 

 

`I walked over to her. She look up at me with her lifeless eyes, just staring not even knowing I was there until she cried, and sank into my arms.'

 

“Inuyasha… Are you really here?” She asked.

 

“Kagome…”

 

“Why did you have to follow me? Why couldn't you leave me in peace? Inuyasha please don't torment me anymore.”

 

“Kagome please listen to me. I have no idea what you're speaking about torment and betrayal. I did nothing of such. Please believe me, I wouldn't of saved you if I hated you, now would I?”

 

“Inuyasha… I can't speak about this right now. Please… Please just hold on to me.”

 

`I sat there with her until the day drew to an end. She stayed in my arms weeping over and over again, about how she could of save her family.'

 

 

~*KAG POV*~

 

`He came for me, even though I told him not to. Was it all a lie? Was I hallucinating what he did?'

 

He and I buried my family. I sat underneath Goshinboku crying over and over, trying not to believe that they were gone. I finally stayed with him underneath the tree without words he understood why I was so upset. I feel even more of a fool, telling him to go away, and the he was lying there, me under his arms. I'm just getting more hopeless by the second.

 

I feel safe and wanted underneath he's arms. While I was chained I felt so cold and alone. But once Inuyasha was by my side my soul was complete, I'm just so lost about a lot of things.

 

I have no life back in my time. But in Inuyasha's time I have friends, and a child waiting for me. But do I really want to return to the friends I mistook for despising me? Do I want to return? Do I want to speak to Inuyasha about… what I saw? Right now, time is my only friend.

 

 

She fell asleep in his arms, crying what seemed forever, he placed her on his back and wandered into the well.

 

A shadowy blanket fell over the sky, covering the earth in its darkness. They wandered into the forest, just walking, no destination, but they kept on walking. Coming upon a cave, nearing it, her placed her on the ground he grabbed his fire rat robe and covered her from the cold. He sat amongst the caves wall; letting the darkness devour him he fell into a slumber.

 

 

 

~Kagome's Dream~

 

He was lying in front of me, lifeless, cold and unforgotten he placed his death upon her own. He saved her from the cold, and being alone, she rejecting him, but he still followed.

 

I wandered into the forest, not forgetting his face, it was in agony, just like her own, just like everybody's else, they all died, fire scorching they're skin, I watch them die, one by one, they left me alone.

 

Deeper into the forest, Goshinboku lies ahead, trapped in a daze; I'm pushed towards the tree. I just sit there looking up at the sky, a face appears in front of me, and then another, they're faces of my friends, and family, the faces of the dead come to haunt me, saying that I could of saved them. I scream telling them that I couldn't, but they keep saying that I betrayed them, by watching them die. I scream over and over again, `I didn't want you to die!'

 

My voice is drowned out by they're chanting `You betrayed us!' `You lied to us!' `You watched us die!' `You let us die!'

 

Like a broken record, I watch them die over and over again, I watch them boil in front of me, I could smell their burned hair, they're tortured faces, haunted me…
