Chapter 18: Kagome's choice, Inuyasha's tears (Revised)

 

 

 

Kagome heard the rhythmic splashing of the waves as they pounding against the jagged rocks. She smelt the tangy sea air as it filled her nose. She could feel the sun's rays beating down on her as she slowly rose from the darkness of unconsciousness.

Opening her eyes she looked at her surroundings, seeing the open sea to her right and a forest full of green old trees to her left. She blinked trying to remember where she was and how she had gotten there.

`Where am I…is this a dream?'

“Yes it is a dream daughter, you called for me and I am here.”

Kagome heard her mother's soft gentle voice say behind her.

She quickly got to her unsteady feet and turned around. She saw her mother standing at the edge of the forest in an all white kimono.

“Mother you look beautiful…” Kagome said in awe.

Kagome's mother chuckled, and then turned around and headed back into the forest.

Kagome started to follow but stopped when something caught her eye. She turned her gaze back towards the beach she had woken up on and stared at the horizon.

“Isn't it beautiful?” her mother said suddenly appearing beside her.

“Yes it is but where is it?”

“You tell me it is your dream.”

Kagome's brows furrowed in confusion.

“How can I think up this place in my dreams when I have never seen an ocean?”

“Maybe you haven't but your demon side has…”

Kagome tore her gaze from the ocean and stared at her mother in shock.

“Mother how do you know all of this?”

“Follow me Kagome, I want to show you something.”

With that she gracefully turned around and walked back into the shadows of the forest. Kagome followed her as they walked quite some distance. After about twenty minutes Kagome just couldn't keep quiet anymore.

“Mother, where are we going?”

Kagome's mother turned her head slightly and looked back at Kagome.

“Where you first met.”

“What? First met who?”

“You will see when you get there, please keep quiet until then, this forest is very dangerous.”

Kagome closed her mouth, forcing her self not to ask any more questions. Instead she started to study the land around her.

There was an assortment of white, brown, green, red, and yellow trees and leaves and she caught sight of a few flowers here and there.

`This place is beautiful…but I sense an evil looming here.'

Suddenly the forest stopped and she stepped into a huge circular field.

“What is this place?”

“This is where you first met.” her mother said again.

Kagome scanned the field again but this time her eyes fell upon a huge tree at the very edge of the field.

`Something about that tree looks very familiar to me.'

“It should look familiar to you this is where you first met your soul mate, and this is were you will last see him.” Kagome's mother whispered.

Kagome's head snapped around and she stared at her mother in astonishment.

“What are you talking about I have never been here before, I don't even know where we are.”

“This is the forest you walk through every time you travel through the worlds, that tree you pass on your way to the village…” Kagome's mother started.

“This…this is Inuyasha's forest?”

“Yes”

“It can't be there was never an ocean so close, these woods never felt so evil.” Kagome said in disbelief.

“This is what has become of the forest after the destruction of the gin miko senshi”

“The silver priestess warrior? Are you talking about me?”

“Yes Kagome.”

“So I will die at the end…I will fail…my father will kill me?”

“I cannot tell you how the future will come to pass, but I can tell you the road you are leading now, will lead to this.” She said as she waved her arm in the direction of the tree.

“My path?” Kagome asked confused.

“You have distrust in your heart Kagome…that seed of doubt will taint your soul, your demon side will over take you, you will not be able to control it and you will kill the ones you love the most.”

Kagome's silver eyes widened in shock.

“I will kill…”

Kagome's mother turned her back to the astonished Kagome and walked towards the tree.

“Kagome come here please.”
Kagome snapped out of her stupor and, slightly dazed, did as she was told.

She walked up behind her mother, gazing at the enormous tree looming over there heads.

“Put your hand on the trunk.” Kagome's mother ordered.

Kagome looked at her mother in confusion but she placed her hand on the cool bark of the tree. Just as her hand touched the bark the tree came alive with a silver glow.

Startled, she quickly pulled her hand back.

“What just happened?”

“Just as I thought it would, this tree still responds to your touch.” Kagome's mother said more to herself then to her.

“But why?”

“Place your hand on it once more and you will see.”

Kagome walked closer to the tree and put both of her hands on the bark. Just as before the tree came alive, the silver glow pulsing around it.

Then the middle of the trunk started to fade and, something started to come into view.

Kagome's eyes widened as she saw a human Inuyasha in an eternal sleeplike state.

`He is human.'

“Kagome as you probably already guessed this is Inuyasha in his human form. He was sealed here for all eternity by a powerful miko.”

“But why and who? Kikyou?”

“No not Kikyou, it was you…”

Kagome stared in disbelief at the sleeping Inuyasha.

“But why would I do something like this, especially when he is in his human form, would I really take advantage of his weakness?”

“Kagome do you remember that night, when he became full demon?”

Kagome lowered her eyes as the memories of that night came back to hunt her.

“ Yes it still haunts me.” She replied quietly.

“That is the day that started the events that will lead up to this point.”

“Mother please tell me, did I betray him?”

“Yes, you did, you betrayed him in the worst possible way you could.”

“No!” Kagome said as she fell to her knees. “He trusted me.”

Kagome's mother laid gentle hand on her shoulder and continued.

“You do not trust him now do you?”

Kagome didn't answer, she started to rock in an effort to comfort herself.

“Your mistrust in him will lead you to leave his side forever, even though you told him otherwise.”

Kagome looked back up at Inuyasha, studying closely. He was wearing pure white clothes instead of his usual red, his face was frozen in an expression of eternal anguish, and there were crystalline tears still flowing down his cheeks to disappear as they fell from his chin.

`I did this to him…I condemned him to this prison and I gave him the pain he still has as he sleeps.'

Kagome looked away from the weeping figure in the tree.

Kagome's mother sat next to her daughter and closed her eyes, reading herself for the news she would have to give her daughter next.

“Mother there is something else isn't there?”

Kagome's mother slowly slid her eyelids open and fixed her gaze on her daughter.

“Yes there is…do you remember seeing the Shikon jewel in your hands before you went to sleep?”

Kagome lowered her head trying to remember.

“Yeah I think so, why? What does that have to do with anything?”

“The Shikon Jewel has everything to do with all of this.”

“It does?”

Kagome's mother sighed and turned her head towards the tree again.

“Kagome, your powers are now at full power, but this is a very dangerous time because you do not know how to use all of that power. With that power you called the pieces of the Shikon Jewel to you, but in doing this you have also given an advantage in knowing that there is someone with as much or even more power then him in the world, so he will be coming after you, especially since you have both the Inu brothers with you. I warn you now: when you wake from this dream you have to learn to suppress your power and control it, and you need to move to another place it is dangerous to stay where u are.”

“Wait how do I control my powers?”

“You will have to figure that out, it is time for you to go…I will be here when you need me.”

“Mama wait don't leave yet, you still haven't answered my questions…what about Inuyasha?”

“Follow you heart Kagome.”

 

 

Kagome suddenly jolted awake, she opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling above her for several minutes, not moving an inch. She could feel the warm weight of the Shikon Jewel in her fisted hand, but she couldn't believe it.

`How am I supposed to explain this to my friends if I don't even understand it myself.'

She turned her head to the side to see Sesshoumaru still sleeping on the mat she had left him on. Her eyes were drawn to the wall near the door, were a sleeping Inuyasha sat.

`Inuyasha, how can I stop myself from hurting you, follow my heart…my heart cries out for you…for your touch…for your voice…everything about you, but I cannot let go of my fear.'

Just then Inuyasha's eyes opened to reveal two dazzling molten amber eyes.

Kagome tensed up as those beautiful eyes landed on her.

Then Inuyasha got up and started walking towards her.

Once Inuyasha reached Kagome he knelt down and looked her over.

“So you're up.”

“Yeah.”

“Why do you have the Shikon Jewel?”

Kagome sighed.

Kagome turned her gaze back to Inuyasha, she saw hurt in them, and not for the first time either.

`I just wish he knew what happened that night then he would under stand.'

Kagome started to get up, but when she tried to stand up her legs gave out, and Inuyasha caught her.

Just then she felt Inuyasha tense up. She looked up and saw horror and disbelief in his eyes.

“ What have I done…I …I understand now why you don't trust me…I remember everything now.” Inuyasha said as anguish filled his beautiful eyes.
