Chapter Nineteen: Giving up everything for you
Kagome’s mind screamed for any reassurance that she could think of. She didn’t want InuYasha to come and save her, she wanted him to stay as far away possible. A lot of the things that happened were her fault and she was determined to solver her own problems. She wanted to show Inuyasha that she was a strong person and that her sacrifices when she was seventeen weren’t completely in vain.
Naraku promised her pain and agony, but she already knew what he could to her and she laughed. Yes, Kagome laughed at Naraku even though she was afraid of him, in a way she wasn’t at all. She had grown up so much emotionally since she first left InuYasha, she may have had a stronger mind and body, but her heart was still so weak. All Kagome had wanted was Inuyasha’s love, but that was something she was only allowed once in her life time and she had let it go without so much as a fight. Deep down she thought of herself as the worst person in the world, sometimes even more pathetic than Naraku himself.
“You know love is something so fickle,” she told Naraku offhandedly. “No matter what you do there is always something lurking in the darkness trying to sway the lover’s bond. Always.”
“Are you trying to hint something my pet?” Naraku laughed callously.
“No,” Kagome replied sitting up. “But I noticed something that I really never thought was true. My father said it to me once and I didn’t fully understand until I watched InuYasha walk away from me.”
“And why is that?” He was irritated yet wanted to know her answer.
“The line between love and hate is so thin,” Kagome said bluntly. “Sometimes so thin that one cannot tell whether or not which one they feel. Love is hate, hate is love… It’s all the same in the end no matter what anybody says.”
~~oOo~~
InuYasha didn’t have any clue to which direction he was to go in and there were no scents that he could catch that would be able to lead him in the right direction. It was almost hopeless for him. He needed answers, yet he couldn’t figure out the questions, his mind was one enormous jumble. Thousands of thoughts raced in his head, there were a lot of loose ends to his memory and they needed to be put back into their place but how?
Time slowly passed by and before he knew it, Sango and Miroku were heading towards him. They ran side by side, Sango with her massive boomerang and Miroku with his holy staff. The two of them looked as if they’d seen a ghost and when they stopped, both of them breathing heavily, InuYasha noticed something that wasn’t there earlier. Miroku’s hand had the rosary wrapped around it again. Naraku was really alive again and the rosary proved it beyond any reasonable doubt.
“What are you doing just standing there like a fool InuYasha?” Sango demanded.
“I thought he was dead,’ InuYasha said. “you told me that I had killed him over ten years ago, but how is he still alive?”
“We don’t know,” Miroku frowned staring down at his right hand. “I watched you kill him myself InuYasha, but I think that it has something to deal with that dark priestess Tsubaki.”
“Tsubaki?” InuYasha asked confused. “How is she involved in this? I killed her back before Kikyo died! How the fuck is everyone I’ve killed coming back to life? That bastard Sesshomaru better not behind this or I’ll kick his ass!”
“I highly doubt that’s the case,” Sango said annoyed. “Tsubaki was revived by Naraku you dolt! Miroku and I think that she’s the reason why Naraku’s all of a sudden alive and kicking. Because there is just no other reason to make the once dead come back to life.”
~~oOo~~
Kagome smiled inwardly as she traced circles on the ground, she was ignoring her again. She had been ranting about every bad thing in her life, exaggerating on some things and Naraku was only able to listen. She was sure that he could have hit her or possibly killed her, but Kagome had the feeling that Naraku needed her unharmed or he wouldn’t have put up with her crap. Getting to her feet, Kagome glanced around the room, she needed to find a way to escaped the place she was in. She hoped that he wouldn’t hear her, but she wasn’t sure if she could leave unnoticed, things just weren’t that simple anymore.
Finding away out proved to be very difficult, she ws not very patient, but tried to keep herself in check. She didn’t want anything to go wrong until after she was away from the place she was in now. Holding her breath as she heard something, Kagome silently waited until it passed by her, everything was starting to look like a “James Bond” movie, but gone horribly wrong. Turning a corner, Kagome came face to face with an irritated Naraku. Her scream was loud as she threw her hands in front of herself, a burning sensation traveling throughout her body and leaving through her fingertips.
She listened to Naraku’s cry of surprise and pain, but she didn’t stick around long enough to asset the damage done. She was sure that it was horrible. The first thing she did was ran as if the devil was at her heels and she was pretty sure that he was. She could hear his laughing as she left the castle that Naraku had taken her to, she had to get out before Naraku could find her or at least hope for a miracle. She hadn’t even ran twenty feet out of the castle grounds when she tried to get through a small body of water. Something seemed to reach out from the ground and wrap around her ankle. She screamed loudly as she fell to the ground, the brown like vine was pulling her into the ground as if she was in quick sand. No matter how hard she tried to hold onto something, it pulled her deeper.
~~oOo~~
InuYasha, Sango, and Miroku had resorted to childish bicker and it was over the dumbest thing in the world, who was right and who was wrong. It would have gone on for a while later, if right as InuYasha was about to say something a strange eerie wind blew and a scent reached his nose. It was Kagome’s. His mouth immediately closed and his eyes widened, he couldn’t let anyone else try and take her from him. Taking no time to tell his friends what was going on, the hanyou darted into the forest before leaping into the sky, by her scent he knew that Kagome wasn’t too far away, but the problem was would he be able to reach her in time?
His mind was working on overdrive as he thought about the possible scenarios that he could find Kagome in. He didn’t want to think so negatively, but it was a force of habit for him. Practically flying over the tress, InuYasha could plainly see the large castle in the distance as well as hear the faint scream, Kagome was defiantly in trouble. Pushing himself harder, the hanyou glanced frantically around for her, and when he finally spotted her his blood ran cold. It looked as though she was being sucked into the ground as she struggled to get free or cling to something.
“Kagome!” He couldn’t recognize his own voice, but she did and her eyes were wide with fear, her ebony hair sticking to her face.
She was already chest deep into the ground, the water around her not helping her situation at all. She screamed for him and he was over by her side in less than the blink of an eyes, his clawed hands grabbing hers, trying to pull her from whatever seemed to have a mind of its own. Pulling Kagome harder, it didn’t want to let go. InuYasha could feel his grasp slipping and he tried his hardest to keep her head above the water.
“InuYasha look out!” Kagome cried out, her eyes wide with fear.
InuYasha turned to see what was japanning and immediately dodged the lavender haired person behind him. He didn’t know exactly where the demon had come from, but the hanyou knew that he didn’t have the time to be fooling around when Kagome needed help. Cracking his knuckles, InuYasha jumped back as the demon attacked, but the hanyou dove for his opponent and slashed at him with his razor sharp claws. The demon easily evaded InuYasha’s attack and frustrated, the hanyou unsheathed Tetsusaiga from his side and watched the battered Katana turn into a large fang pulsing with power.
“I’m going to kick your ass!” InuYasha growled as he lunged at the demon only to be thrown back.
He collided with the ground roughly, his sword flying from his hands and landing yards away, completely untransformed. Quickly getting to his feet, InuYasha glanced around for his opponent but the lavender hair demon was lo longer anywhere in sight, he had vanished without a trace.
“Pathetic half-breed,” Naraku’s voice cooed from all around. “You are like a hyper child, you can’t keep yourself focused on the true task at hand…”
His blood ran cold as he stared directly into the spot where Kagome had been. The water was still and as his feet slowly took him closer, he could plainly see her midnight black hair underneath the water. She was submerged under the water and he could see the palm of her hand sticking out of the ground. Dropping to his knees, the hanyou dug his claws into the mud, trying to pry loose her ands so he could pull her out. It didn’t take long and as soon as Sango and Miroku came to the seen did Kagome’s body come out of the now mud that had dragged her down. InuYasha was frantic as Sango administered CPR on the unconscious girl, he didn’t want her to die.
~~oOo~~
He sat silently next to the futon she was sleeping on, he was worried that she wouldn’t wake up, but scared of the fact that he had almost lost her forever. InuYasha hadn’t moved in house as he watched the motionless Kagome, it was killing him to know that it was his fault why she was in her current state. Sango had been able to get Kagome to choke up all the water she swallowed, but Kagome hadn’t stayed conscious long enough for a thorough check over. Gently running his clawed hand through her hair, the hanyou sighed, he still hadn’t regained all his memories and the ones he had tore him up inside.
There was nothing but sadness, betrayal, and the things he wished that had never happened, but he couldn’t remember anything that told him how he really felt about Kagome. Sure he had the enormous feeling in his chest that told him so and the small memories of a few kisses he and Kagome shared, but nothing concrete. He didn’t know if his mind was playing tricks on him or it was the real deal. Touching her cheek, InuYasha leaned back on his arms, he just didn’t know what to feel and it hurt him to think about all the pain he was causing Kagome.
“I don’t understand,” he whispered softly. “I Don’t understand how I’m supposed to feel about you Kagome… I don’t’ know whether I love you or hate you, but I hope that it’s the ladder. Something tells me to stay close to you, to keep you as my own, but I’m afraid of being wrong. I’m afraid that one day you’ll l3eave me and I’ll be alone… I can’t say why I feel this way, but I do and I don’t’ understand why.”
Cupping her cheek in his hand, the hanyou slowly closed the space in between them and placed a chaste kiss on Kagome’s slightly parted lisp. He hoped that he would find his answer soon because he didn’t know if he could her safe while being unsure of his own self. Pulling away, he sat up straight, he would keep watch until Kagome opened her eyes.
