Decisions of the Heart

Chapter Fourteen:

A Stolen Soul, An Unwanted Kiss

WARNING: SHORT CHAPPIE AHEAD!

After the first few days, Inuyasha was becoming depressed. Of course Kagome had left longer than that before, but she actually WAS there, in some sort of long unconsciousness. It was killing him to know that she could be dying and he couldn't save her. He hugged her tightly again, combing her hair from her face, frowning when she still didn't respond.

"Kagome, what's happening to you?"

~*~

"INUYASHA!" He was there, she was sure of it. It was HER Inuyasha! He would take her out of this terrifying place. Kagome was still racing through the long, white corridors at top speed, Inuyasha standing patiently at the end. But, with every step she took he seemed to be getting farther and farther away.

"Please, wait!" Taking on a final burst of speed, she reached him, clutching onto his sleeve tightly, tears running roughly down her face.

"What do you want?" he growled, fangs bared yet again.

"What do you mean? I-Inuyasha, it's ME! Kagome!" she cried, her grip tightening. She wasn't going to let go again and be alone! He glared at her, eyes filled to the brim with anger, and easily brushed her off of him. Loosing her balance, Kagome fell and hit the ground with a hard thud.

"Inuyasha. . ."

"Don't you get it! Leave me alone!"

"But. . ." She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and shakily got to her feet.

"I don't need you!"

"Inuyasha, what are you saying! At least for the shards--"

"I don't care about them anymore and neither should you!" His glare never decreased.

"You mean, you don't need me anymore?"

"I never did!" Tears pelted her cheeks. She hoped, prayed that this would soften him like it always did.

"Dry your tears! Get over it!"

"Why are you being so mean!"

"Why do you care!"

"B-b-because I l-l-love you!" He stopped for a split second, then his scowl reappeared.

"I hate you!"

~*~

Kagome stirred. He saw tears leaking from her closed eyes. Heart ripping apart, he gently, delicately brushed them away, and his breath caught in his throat when she grabbed onto his hand. Her lips moved.

"Kagome?"

"No! Please I lo--"

"Kagome, wake up!" He shook her roughly, hoping for her to open her eyes. Tears continued to crawl down her cheeks, in thick, snaking streams.

"Kagome, please! Do it for me!"

~*~

It was dark again. A gust of wind blew swirled leaves around her face.

"Inuyasha. . ." ~He really does hate me~ She sighed heavily, sweeping her hair from her face, shivering at the harsh breeze blew at her knees. "Now I really am alone." Kagome suddenly hopped to her feet, she felt a presence. It was very similar to Kikyo's but some somewhat diminished. Then, her soul collectors came floating by, and enshrouded her.

"WHAT?" She began to feel weak, cold, empty. They wouldn't stop surrounding her! Finally, with enough coaxing, her soul finally came from her parted lips. Falling to her knees, she saw it fly to Kikyo as a soul collector dropped it in her pale skin once again became vibrant. Inuyasha was suddenly next to her, and they kissed.

"Kikyo. You're back, I'm glad!" He brought her into a fierce hug. She couldn't run, she couldn't seem to close her eyes, and then she fainted.

Inuyasha froze when Kagome went limp in his arms.

"What'll I do?" Kaede was off into the village with the monk to help a with a wave of sickness, and Sango and a reluctant Shippo followed. A sudden idea came to him. He bent down, and nuzzled her cheek.

~*Sorry for the short chapter guys, I really don't have the time to extend it! I really need to study! I didn't make them kiss cause that's for later! Later days!*~
