Chapter 2: Letting go


Inuyasha awoke from a bad dream. A dream he didn’t like one bit! It wasn’t any dream he ever had.....it was a nightmare. Kinda like my life.... he thought bitterly as he jumped down from the tree he slumbered in for the last couple of nights.

That same dream.....nightmare... a grim look overtook him as he thought back to that nightmare that awoke him every single night since his fight with Kagome.


~~~DREAM~~~


“Kagome....” he said slowly. “Kagome!” he now yelled openly.

She was falling into darkness. Complete and utter darkness. He was running after her as fast as he could, but her falling body was always unreachable no matter how fast or how far he got he always lost her. That’s when his heart felt broken. Literally split in two. No, not just split in two, but shattered in many peices. Like something was missing. Something was missing. He could feel it. Now he felt unbearable pain.

Inuyasha....


~~~DREAM OVER~~~


And that’s where he would always wake up, drenched in sweat, heart aching, head pounding.

His name.

She called his name.

I need to get Kagome....... he thought; guilt weighing on him. He looked off into the far corner of the forest where a part of the sky was shown through the blanket of trees. The sun was to rise with in the next couple of hours. Maybe I could wait till the sun is actually up.

He hopped back in the tree that was his bed.


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Kagome opened her eyes. Bright light. It blinded her at first. Where am I? Am I.......D.....DEAD? No, I can’t be......is this....heaven?

She looked down and saw her own body lying on what seemed to be an operating table. Blood covered. Dirty with dried, crusty mud. She was in the rain, you could tell. She felt shock.

Is this a dream, or is that really me?

Her mom stood near the door. She looked in the window; teary eyed. She sniffed and you could almost feel the pain vibrate off of her body.

“Bless’od, gods. I pray you look over my daughters soul....” the tears were unattainable now. They spilled freely onto her already soaked face.

“Mom......” Kagome said; her voice already sounding ghostly.....airy... her breathe was uneven and rigged, she gulped, attempting to swallow the lump in her throat.

Kagome’s mom bit her lip; the handkerchief close to her mouth, held delicately by one trembling hand.

“Come, we must explain this to Souta.” Kagome’s grandfather laid a hand on her shoulder.

“Grandpa!” this time Kagome screamed it, making sure he would hear her. But he didn’t respond. He only looked in through the same door’s window, to see Kagome’s body being covered by a white blanket like covering.

“What are you doing?! Stop! STOP!” Kagome screeched, pleaded, to the paramedics.

Her grandfather started weeping, his elderly voice sounded through the hallway. He crackled out her name. “K-Kagome....”

“I’m right here! I’M RIGHT HERE!” she now too wept uncontrollably. What’s wrong with me...with them? I need them.... she thought as her body was slowly rolled away. She looked up and watched her body being taken. Souta walked over with their aunt by his side. Her family was leaving!

“Wait.....don’t leave me here!” she reached out for her mother whom lingered at the door’s window. Familiar. The feeling she felt and her actions were familiar. She had felt alone not to long ago. And in letting go she held out her hand, she REACHED out for someone....anyone....but no one helped her. She died. And now she knew this; it sunk in.

She withdrew her hand. She felt hurt. Once again she was reaching out and no one was helping her. She moved quickly toward the glass that her mother stared through.

Raising one hand, she touched the opposite side of where her mother’s hand was. Her mom’s eyes still tear-filled, she looked up....distant. Kagome returned her gaze with the same tears, the same sorrow.

Then she thought about what she vowed before she....died.


~~~FLASHBACK~~~



Mom......S outa....grandpa.....I’m sorry, I can’t move. I wish I could, but it hurts. It always hurts. Inuaysha, I forgive you.....and I love you...... Kagome wanted to say all of this but all she could manage to do was to murmur it in the corners of her mind. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kerara....and yes, even Koga. To everyone, all of my friends in my own time and Hojo as well....I will miss you and I will watch over you....I........s-swear.......


~~~FLASHBACK OVER~~~


Her mom moved her hand from the glass and turned. Giving one last glance back to the ER.

“It was a mistake.....” she said. “Your death, Kagome.......”

Kagome looked up at her mother, her back facing her. Her head slightly turned. Kagome’s face filled with pain and surprise.

“It was a mistake.” she finished. She walked away, finally.

“Heh....” Kagome started. “I think so too, mom.” she sniffed. “I think so too...”

She stood there as her family left. She smirked ever so slightly, more inwardly than anything else.

“I really thought if I ever died this young.....it would be at the hands of Naraku......or at least a demon in general. But no.......” she sighed. “I died from a car........A CAR!” she was a little angry now.

“How could I of been so weak.....I’ve survived so much more than a measly old car crash! Boy, Inuyasha would be so disappointed.” She thought for a moment. “Inuyasha....” she had to get her head on straight. She was acting like this when she had just died. And then there was Inuyasha. How would he react to this. Kagome deeply feared his reaction. What she feared more was that he didn’t care at all.

Hopefully that wouldn’t be the case. She wondered if anyone would even tell him, and who would it be? How would they say it?

“Damn, Inuyasha could be stubborn at times but I Know deep down he is as defenseless as a fluffy little puppy.” Kagome spoke as she felt a tingle go through her ghostly body.
A nurse passed through her!

“I should get out of here before half the staff passes through me.” She moved to leave through the front. She wondered how she had such a good sense of humor when she had just gone through death. She walked out of the hospital and everything was so different. So much more...gloomy.

“I guess things aren’t as greener as they say it is on the other side...”

Kagome walked around for sometime, trying to find the good side of things; the bright side. But nothing. She felt so sad when she noticed that her vision came in grey. No color. That the noises came to her horrid and course. The air tasted sour and metallic; and smelt just as bad with the stench of over pollution.

She lost track of time, of her train of thought, of her sense of direction. She lost everything.

She soon found herself in front of her home, then at the shrine; then in front of the well.

Am I able to travel back? Or will I be stopped... she wondered. But she dear not jump, for there was no telling what the leap would do when she was in this body structure. How the bone eaters well would react to her bodyless spirit was beyond her. It was better to be safe than sorry, even when you really no longer had anything to lose.

She suddenly gripped the edge of the well.

“God! It’s so hard letting go!” Kagome pounded her fist down on the well. Tears streamed down from her closed eyes. She opened them abruptly. Thonk. She heard something. Someone was coming through the well!


~~~FEUDAL ERA~~~


“Kagome, I’m coming.” Inuyasha stated to himself with a smile. He looked down to the bottom of the well and closed his hand around a shard. He then leapt over the edge, hoping this would work like the other times.

“He cares....” Sango stated.

“Yeah, he just doesn’t show it enough...” Miroku said. “Sango, may I ask you a question?”

“Ugh! Miroku for the final time, no; I will NOT bare your children! Not a single one! Do you hear me?!”

“Sango, my dear Sango. I wish not to ask you that question but a different one....”

“Errr” she sighed. “Okay...go ahead.”

“I wonder...” he started. “Did it hurt?”

“Did what hurt?”

“When you fell from the heavens above.” he looked up at the sky dreamily.

“Miroku....” Sango said nervously. “Where did you get that?”

“Um....”

“Just tell me already!”

“Okay, okay.....I got it from this magazine I found in Kagome’s bag....it said on top ‘pick up lines for pervs’” he said encouragingly.

“Your hopeless.”


~~~MODERN ERA~~~


Kagome stood in wonder.

“Could that really be Inuyasha?”


AN:Okay, so the plot should thicken in chapter 3 and trust me it gets ALOT better as the chapters go on. I already have it all planned out ^_^ and I think I wanna spoil a lil bit of it by saying there is going to be an alternate ending. Review!
