Dreams or Memories?
------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
"Why should I always be lonesome,
when sunny and blue are the skies? "
--------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
Kagome heard the door open but didn't bother to look. Although she didn't know why Sango had come again, she didn't really care.
"Kagome?" a voice called from the doorway and Kagome felt her heart turn to ice.
No, I'm dreaming. It's not really him.
"Kagome?" the voice called again and as hard as she tried not to respond, it was impossible not to. His voice was just too real and too close, slowly she let her head turn and raise to look at him.
Inuyasha's breath hitched when he saw her face. There were huge shadows under her eyes and a newly acquired cut on her cheek. But what scared him the most were her eyes. Kagome had always had those lovely blue eyes filled with laughter and life. Even when she was sad, her eyes contained joy. But now...
While, her right eye was its originally blue-gray tint, her other eye was pure black. And as he looked into that black eye, depression, betrayal, and loneliness began to wash over his soul.
It was really him. She knew those eyes from anywhere. Those were the eyes she had followed everywhere. They were the eyes she'd even risked her life for, she could never forget them. It seemed the longer she looked into his eyes, the more she remembered.
"I don't want to," was the last thing she whispered before the events of two weeks ago flashed in her mind.
When Kagome opened her eyes the first thing she wondered was: Where was she?
As her vision cleared she could make out that she was on a platform of some sort and that she was tied to some sort of cross. As she turned her head to the left she could make out someone else tied to one of these cross like things. 'Kikyo!' her mind screamed as she noticed the miko clothes these person was wearing. Why was Kikyo here? And that wasn't all of it.
Shippo was tied to herself as well. Not a good position to be in. considering the giant pot of dark jaki below them. But still, something felt wrong, like she was losing something and didn't know what. So, she looked the direction she hadn't yet, up. Then it all made sense.
Above them was a giant mirror, easily ten times the size of Kanna's. Into its glass were odd carvings of different shapes and letters. What's more, it was pulling white mist out of the two mikos. In other words, it was taking out their souls.
Kagome didn't like the looks of things. Her instinct was shouting that something horrible was about to happen, and her heart was beating quicker than a mouse. She wanted to leave this place, she wanted someone to help her escape. Anyone, just as long as she could get out of here. She didn't have to wait long.
Inuyasha came running and stopped right in front of the platform.
"Kagome!" he yelled, glad to see she wasn't hurt yet.
"Inuyasha!" she screamed back but he didn't respond.
Kagome felt her twinge of pain in her heart as she saw Inuyasha looking at Kikyo. It was always that same longing look, as if nothing else in the world mattered: including Kagome. He was so absorbed in staring at her that he'd completely forgotten the fact she was tied to a pole, and above a giant pot of jaki.
As soon as the giant black mist began to materialize between her and Kikyo, she knew who was responsible for this. And her guess was confirmed when Naraku walked out of the mist and began to laugh his evil chuckle
"Ah, Inuyasha," he said smoothly, "What a surprise it is to see you here?"
"What do you what bastard?" Inuyasha barked.
Kagome watched the confrontation, but the butterflies in her stomach continued to bother her. Something was telling her that this wasn't going to end well: that her life was in real jeopardy. But she didn't listen to her instincts. After all, how many times had her life been in real danger? At least a few hundred.
She was brought back to reality when Inuyasha came towards her.
"I'm really glad you're okay," he said quietly, coming closer.
'No!' her brain shouted. This was the man that tried to kill her.
"Go away," she whimpered backing up further into the corner, and Inuyasha finally noticed Shippo sitting on her shoulder.
"H-How?" he stammered, the image of the young kitsune haunting his conscience, "Shippo's dead."
"No!" Kagome screamed, "I brought him back, he's alive!"
"I brought him back!" the words hit Inuyasha, and his expression softened.
"Kagome," he said fighting back his guilt, "It's cruel to keep him in this world. I- I cared about the brat too, but this isn't the way to remember him."
"So why isn't it cruel to keep Kikyo in this world?" Kagome asked. There was no anger or malice in her voice only a need for an answer, "You're doing the same thing I am."
"I," Inuyasha began but he was stumped for an answer.
Kagome knew the confused look in his eyes. It was that look that had constantly made itself shown in her mind. It was that look he had when deciding that she should die.

"While shadows and loneliness linger,
I'm dreaming with tears in my eyes."
