Chapter Six: From a vision to a harsh reality.

Sango and Kagome rode on Kirara's back in silence for a moment.They weren't sure what to say to each other, no doubt over the short period apart they'd grown apart, distanced from one another and it was awkward, very awkward.

"Has InuYasha really gone crazy because he's lonely?" Kagome whispered unsure about herself.

"I believe he has Kagome," Sango replied uneasily as she glanced around.

Kagome sighed to herself as she wiped her nose, the blood beginning to congeal. Somehow Kikyo had given her some type of power, miko powers as some had put it. But how was she going to use it? She was now heading back to the well, Kagome had failed; Koga, Kikyo, and herself. How was she going to face the young police officer once she was back in her own time?

A pang of guilt made itself present as the well came into view. Taking one last good look at the scenery around her, Kagome gasped as an energy absorbed katana flew through the air heading straight for Sango. It had been the katana that killed the young female youkai in Kaede's village.

"Sango! Watch out!" Kagome screamed as she pushed her friend off the neko youkai's back, and falling off too.

Oo Since then I never feel helpless, recess, this mess if you do And I find that even time well spent gets bentif you need it to And we do Well by now I've showed you how much I believe in the here and now and I wish that you knew.oO

Hidden by the foliage of the surrounding forest, she could feel the pure aura of "Kikyo" nearing the old bone eater's well with another person and a demon. This was the perfect time for a surprised attack, a quick one at that because she could also feel her lovely silver hair experiment coming towards them; probably to embrace his "love".

Tsubaki scoffed at the disgusting thought of happiness as she withdrew her katana, it immediately began to flare with an evil and malicious filled energy. Naraku had explained to her that the weapon she held in her hand was one of two swords that could protect its wielder from the legendary sword Tetsusaiga. The other had to have been either Tokijin or Tenseiga; both of which were currently in the possession of the Inu-youkai known as Lord Sesshomaru of the western lands, half brother to that of InuYasha; the filthy half-breed mongrel.

Pointing her katana in the direction of the "priestess Kikyo" and her companion, Tsubaki whispered something that would be now known as Italian and the weapon flew off soon to impale itself into the flesh of her foes. Smiling maliciously, the evil priestess silently hid in the thick foliage, she was waiting for the arrival of a certain hanyou, while a few of her minions helped deal with her "Kikyo" problem.

Oo Lay all you want on me Lay all you want on me Lay all you want on me I'll be your whipping boy. You spilled your purse onto my bed Searching for something for your head Since then you never come clean I mean You wish you only could. oO

Kagome landed on the ground with a thud. She groaned as she slowly rolled onto her back and stared up at the sky. 'How many times have I found myself like this?' She asked herself as she found her way to her feet. Sango was climbing onto her feet as well and Kirara landed on the ground, her fur standing on end as her bared fangs glistened in the light. A threatening growl almost too low for both Kagome and Sango to hear emitting from her throat.

"What is it Kirara?" Sango asked, her voice filled with worry.

The enormous neko youkai growled louder and jumped into the air just as a swarm of what appeared to be Naraku's winged hornets only the color of them wasn't a mustard yellow, but that of a putrid green and brown. Their wings were longer along with their poisonous stingers. The hornets had some how evolved without Naraku's malice, or so the demon slayer had thought at the time.

Pulling the enlarged boomerang from her back, Sango quickly glanced over at Kagome. Her eyes filled with concern for her friend before she jumped into the air, throwing her weapon at the bug youkai; immediately taking out a good ten or fifteen only to have them pull their bodies together and resume the attack.

"Kagome!" Sango yelled catching her boomerang only to throw it once more, "Get out of her while you still can! Kirara and I can hold these off, but you have to get back to the well!"

"But Sango!" Kagome called out.

"JUST GO!" Sango yelled unsheathing her sword to attack the insects that had drawn too close for comfort.

Stealing one last look at Sango, Kagome reluctantly fled towards the well. All of this was so familiar, she was always running from somebody; running to stay safe, to stay shelter, always to remain along and completely lost. Unnecessary tears steamed down her face, 'I'm such a coward!' She thought, 'I'm always running away from trouble or accidentally causing itWhy can't I be brave enough and stand up to my enemies?'

Reaching the well almost a few moments later, Kagome could feel the pounding of her heart in her chest. Her throat was parched, she felt a bright light, a type of warmth surround her and she seemed to be standing in front of the Goshinboku (sacred tree). An early ray of sunshine lay next to he as a small breeze blew by. She could see something on the tree. It was deathly still. Moving her gaze to the figure, she gasped with utter surprise, her hands quickly covering her mouth as her eyes widened brimming with more unshed tears.

InuYasha hung lifelessly from the tree, held by a spear engulfed in a red aura, an evil presence. His eyes were closed and it looked only as if he was asleep. The silver triangular ears on his head didn't even move. A gust of wind blew passed, sending his long locks of silver hair fluttering, some strands covering his semi-tanned face. He looked angelic.

"InuYasha" She whispered into the air.

She jumped slightly when his body pulsed, it seemed as though something was trying to awaken him. His face frowned and Kagome could see him struggling to open his eyes, but before he could the spear pulsed in its evil aura and the red presence around the fighting weapon expanded, covering over half of InuYasha's body.

Taking a step back, Kagome's calves hit an invisible object; whatever that red aura type thing that was around InuYasha brought an immense fear into her heart. Somehow she could feel the destruction that was being emitted off in the hanyou's own aura. Whatever it was, it was successfully corrupting him, killing off the human side of his soul.

That's when his eyes suddenly shot open and all Kagome could see in his once golden eyes was red. The image seemed to fade and she could feel the hot tears streaming down her cheeks. She was staring at the huge trees in front of her a ways off, she was back at the well, her legs touching the side of the rough wood. What she had seen was just a dream, nothing but a dream; or was it a vision of the future?

"Kagome!" Sango screamed trying to get to her defenseless friend only to be distracted by more of the winged hornets, "LOOK OUT!"

But it was too late, the katana that had knocked them from Kirara's back came hurdling towards Kagome. She was too slow to react and the blade barely missed her neck, but sliced open her shoulder somewhat. Kagome cried out in pain as she lost her balance. She fell backwards into the darkness in what seemed to have been in slow motion. Before the deep blue light engulfed her body she heard somebody call out for her, it was him.

It had to have been

Oo Lay all you you want on me Lay all you want on me Lay all you want on me I'll be your whipping boy I can get up:: And I find that even time well spent gets bent if you need it to... And we do... And we do.. Oo

The cold air felt good on his face as he drew near the village. He could smell death in the air, along with Tsubaki; the supposedly dead priestess, and that of Kagome. She was there! He had to find her, no matter the cost, he had to protect her.. Leaping on the tree tops he neared the Goshinboku, it wasn't far off from the bone eater's well and her scent became stronger as well as Sango's, Kirara's and one that must have been a mixture because he couldn't quite tell what or who it was.

Landing roughly on the ground a few feet from the Goshinboku, he sniffed the air cautiously; it reeked of youkai and blood. 'Where are you Kagome? Tell me where you are!' His mind screamed.

"Kagome!" He heard Sango scream, it made his blood run cold from the fear in the demon slayer's voice. "Look out!"

"You can't reach her in time," A voice cooed from every direction around him, "Give up InuYasha, Kikyo's gone for good this time.."

"KAGOME!" InuYasha cried out as his ears caught her scream, "KAGOME HOLD ON!"

He jumped into the air, planning on diving towards the well, but fat chance. From the corner of his eyes he saw something coming straight at him. Dodging it, he missed the second object that flew at him. It impaled itself directly into the left side of his chest, and latched onto something hard, roughthe bark of a tree.

InuYasha glanced to his side and saw the long wooden spear that stuck out from his body. His feet couldn't reach the ground and his body was slowly growing numb. The hanyou's sensitive ears could pick up a woman's cackling voice as well as Kirara's roar.

'I should be dead' He told himself, 'Why can't I feel the pain of the spear?'

He could hear the voice of somebody and as the fatigue settled in, he closed his golden eyes tiredly.

"It's not a spear InuYasha" A woman's voice said, "An illusion, but it's an arrow and a powerful one at that.. Open your eyes! For you mustn't let the circle of your love break or you'll be doomed" He recognized the voice, it was Kikyo.

Opening his eyes just a crack he turned his head and looked at the arrow that was currently embedded in his chest. Sleep seemed like the best thing until his eye caught the reflection of light. Staring at the arrow, InuYasha finally saw the ring, Kagome's ring. It must have gotten trapped on the arrow as it hit him and now it was beginning to crack.

"No" He whispered, "Don'tpleasedon't leave me all alone KagomeI'm scaredI'mso..sc-"

The ring split in half as the arrow pulsed, sending a horrific wave of blinding pain throughout his body. InuYasha lost consciousness as the two pieces of the ring hit the ground, the circle of his love had broken

Oo Lay all you want on me...Lay all you want on me...Lay all you want on me...I'll be your whipping boy... Lay all you want on me...Lay all you want on me...Lay all you want on me....I'll be your whipping boy...I'll be your whipping boy....I'll be your whipping boy...Oo
