InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Decision from the Heart ❯ The Moment of Truth ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter 5: The Moment of Truth

 

Inuyasha stared at the small piece of pink glass in his hand. `This little jewel will determine the fate of my future.'

 

“Go on, Inuyasha,” he heard Kagome call out. “Go ahead and make your wish.”

 

He looked up from the jewel. Kagome stood in front of him, trying to fight back the emotion filling up in her. She had never looked more beautiful. Light emanated from her body. All he could see was her, and only her.

 

“Kagome.”

 

Kagome smiled. Just knowing that he was thinking of her made her heart leap with joy. `I trust you, Inuyasha. Everything will turn out exactly the way it's supposed to,' she thought to herself.

 

Inuyasha looked back down at the jewel and raised it up to his mouth. He closed his eyes and placed the jewel into his mouth. All it took was one large swallow to get the jewel down. Inuyasha opened his eyes and looked at himself and the others.

 

“Well, what happened?” he asked the group.

 

All of a sudden, a sharp pain erupted in Inuyasha's stomach. He wraped his arms around his waist and crunched down.

 

“What…is…this,” Inuyasha stammered out loud. His insides were being twisted in several ways, ways that should not be allowed. He finally fell to the ground, squirming, trying to relieve himself of the pain.

 

Kagome could not believe what was happening. She wanted to stop it somehow; if there was just some way…

 

Blue and violet light began to engulf Inuyasha's form. The sky turned to a malicious gray. It was just like her dream. Everything was began to fall apart, right in front of her.

 

`I can't let this happen! There must be some way! I will not stand by and watch Inuyasha be taken away from me.'

 

She ran over to where the light was forming, knowing that Inuyasha was somewhere within the cloud of light. `If I can get to him, maybe I can…'

 

A sudden source of power interrupted her thought, sending her flying back to the spot where her friends stand. Sango stretched her arms out and caught Kagome.

 

“Kagome?! Are you alright?!” Sango questioned Kagome.

 

“I'm fine! Just what is going on?”

 

“I don't know,' Miroku answered. “It looks like the jewel is having a hard time trying to figure out what to do with Inuyasha.”

 

“Oh, Inuyasha. Hang in there,” Kagome pleaded. She suddenly began to feel weak. Her head began to throb. She lifted her hands and felt the back of her head. She slowly brought her hands back to the front and noticed that a tiny drop of blood was on her finger tips. `I…I must have hit my head on something,' she thought before blacking out.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

When at last Kagome woke up, she realized that she was back at the village. `What happened? Where's Inuyasha? How did it all work out,' were the thoughts that raced in her mind.

 

She looked around the hut. Everything seemed to be back to normal, everything except… She looked up and there above her was Inuyasha. Kagome sat up abruptly and stared in amazement at the hanyou sitting in front of her.

 

Inuyasha's ears perked up and he jerked back when Kagome suddenly flung herself from his arms.

 

“Kagome? Are you okay?”

 

Kagome couldn't bring herself to utter a word. The last thing she remembered was Inuyasha wriggling on the ground, on the verge of becoming a demon. This couldn't be real! This had to be a dream!

 

Noticing the surprise and confused look in her countenance, Inuyasha began to understand the whole situation. `She passed out during the whole ordeal. That's why she's so confused.'

 

“It's okay, Kagome,” Inuyasha tried to reassure her. “Everything's okay. What you're seeing is not a dream. This is what I have chosen. This is how I want to spend the rest of my life.”

 

Kagome didn't believe him. How could he choose this life over the life that he's always wanted. Most importantly, how could he just give away the chance to be accepted?

 

“Inuyasha, I…I just don't understand? How…why?”

 

“Kagome, because of you.”

 

Her mouth dropped. Did she really mean that much to him? This could not be happening.

 

“Before I go into the reason, let me tell you exactly what happened.”

 

 

I decided that I won't go into everything right now. I just wanted ya'll to know what his decision was. The next chapter will explain exactly what happened and exactly what is wish was. Sorry I keep doing this to ya'll, but I love to leave people wondering. I guess I'm just evil like that. ^^
