~CHAPTER 22~

Escape

 

Inuyasha leaped through air. Sango, Miroku and Shippo were about ten or twenty feet behind him on Kilala. He landed on the ground and pushed off again. Halfway in the air, Inuyasha got a strange feeling.

 

Suddenly a blew him back. Inuyasha flipped back and landed on the ground.

 

“Kagura,” he growled out.

 

The wind sorceress stood before him, fan drawn. “Hello, Inuyasha.”

 

“Now is not the time for this!”

 

Kagura smiled. “I know. Naraku has sent me to hinder your quest.”

 

Inuyasha wrapped his fingers around the Tetsusaiga. He unsheathed the sword and pointed at Kagura. “So Naraku is involved in this.”

 

Kagura held her fan up to her face. “No, he isn't but he figures why not take advantage of a rare opportunity.”

 

“Inuyasha!” Sango yelled out as Kilala approached the scene. She tossed her Hiraikotsu at Kagura, who blew it away with a flick of her fan.

 

Inuyasha gripped the hilt of his sword, his knuckles turned white. “I am warning you Kagura. Anyone or anything that gets in my way will be destroyed.” Kagura laughed mockingly. “Fine.” Inuyasha rushed at Kagura, his sword resting on his shoulder.

 

Kagura waved her fan, emitting blades of air. The blades tore through the ground as they headed for Inuyasha.

 

“A waste of my time!” Inuyasha yelled. He swung his sword forward, cutting through Kagura's attack.

 

Kagura looked at him surprised. “He's too strong for me,” she mumbled to herself. She snapped her fan shut and pulled her feather from her hair. With tornado, the feather grew and Kagura flew off in it, leaving behind numerous low-level demons.

 

Inuyasha roared out. “Get the hell out of my way! WIND SCAR!” Inuyasha swung his sword. Demon remains dropped to the ground. Inuyasha sheathed his sword and continued running with the others behind him.

 

'I have to find Kagome. I will not rest until she's by my side. I will not stop until she's safe in my arms. I don't care what happens to me as long as she's all right.'

Kagome walked into the bathroom. She washed her hands and looked into the mirror. “What's wrong with me?” she asked herself. 'Why am I so tired? I haven't even did anything strenuous.'

 

Kagome stared at herself in the mirror. For a second, her eyes changed to golden color. She closed her eyes and rubbed them. When she opened them again, her eyes were the same color they always were. Kagome sighed. For some reason she felt extremely tired, not to mention desperate, worried and very afraid. Why? She had no idea. She had nothing to affect her like this. She was just a normal girl.

 

Kagome looked into the mirror again and gasped. Her eyes were still their normal color but her hair was now silver and she had two dog-like ears sticking out from her hair. “What the hell,” She whispered. Kagome blinked once and her reflection was back to normal. “I'm going crazy.”

 

“No, you're not.” Her reflection said.

 

Kagome's eyes widened when the lips of her reflection moved. The voice of her mirror wasn't hers but it did sound familiar. Slowly the reflection began to change. The eyes changed to a golden-yellow color. Silver spread through the raven colored hair and two silver ears stuck out at the top of the head, while the ears on the each side of the head disappeared. Her reflection had turned into the dog-eared boy from her dreams.

 

“Remember, Kagome.” he commanded.

 

“Inuyasha?” she whisper. He nodded. “Remember what?”

 

“Remember who you really are. Remember where you belong. Remember that I love you.” Inuyasha said.

 

Kagome shook her head. “I can't. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just a normal, average girl.”

 

Inuyasha smiled. “You're wrong. There is absolutely nothing normal about you. You are the reincarnation of a priestess that died over 500 years ago. You are a miko. You fell down a well and into the past. You saved me from a deathless death. You taught me how to love again and you loved me back. You are my mate and you are my soul.”

 

Kagome listened. A sharp pain came from the right side of her neck. She ran her fingers across the spot where the pain coming from. She felt two small bumps. She was suddenly overcome by a headache as images flashed through her mind.

 

“I remember,” Kagome whispered. “I remember who I am. Thank you, Inuyasha. I love you.”

The inanimate body of Kagome Higurashi was suddenly brought back to life. Her slumped head suddenly popped up and her eyes sprung open.

 

A shocked Kikyo looked at her. “How? You should have never been able escape.” Kagome struggled against the vines that tied her to the tree. Kikyo laughed. “No matter, the vines of that demon tree would never allow you to get free.”

 

Kagome looked at Kikyo defiantly. “I'm just full of surprises and it helps to be the mate of a certain hanyou.”

 

Kikyo look turned sour. Her whole aura gave off hatred. “How dare you mention that to me!” she yelled.

 

Kagome smirked. “What's wrong? Are you jealous?”

 

“I have no reason to be jealous of you because you will soon be dead.”

 

“I don't think so. I told you I'm full of surprises.” With those words Kagome's flashed pink. Her aura began to swirl, suddenly she broke the vines around her wrists. Kagome dropped, lightly to the ground and stood before a shocked Kikyo.

 

“You will not leave her alive,” Kikyo said menacingly.

 

Kagome smiled. “I disagree,” she said defiantly.

 

.:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:.

 

Inuyasha gasped and grabbed for his heart as an excruciating pain shot through his body. He landed on the ground clutching the clothing that covered his body. “Kagome,” he gasped out.

 

The others landed next to him. “What's wrong Inuyasha?” Shippo asked.

 

Inuyasha looked at up at them causing them to gasp. His eyes had turned red but they quickly turned back to their normal gold. “Let's go,” Inuyasha said calmly. With that he was off moving even faster than before. The others looked at each other for a moment then quickly got back on Kilala.
