InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sleeping Mistake ❯ Come Back ( Chapter 9 )

Look at me go. It's another chapter, and it's really early too. Does this make up for things? Thanks for all of the reviews . I love to learn what you all think.

I don't own Inuyasha.

Come Back

"Of course, Naraku might not have meant that you would die physically," Sesshomaru stated before he turned and left the cave.

The fear in her eyes told me everything. I scared her. I took a step towards her, "Kagome,"

She whimpered and stepped back, "Do-don't,"

I continued walking towards her.

"Don't; don't come near me," Kagome quickened her pace away from me.

"Kagome, wait, stop," I reached out to her. What did I do?

"No!! Don't touch me!" She screamed in fear.

I stopped, my arm frozen in its outstretched position. I-I scared her. She hates me now. My eyes blurred and refocused. What did I do? I can only remember Sesshomaru entering the cave, and then everything goes black. Did my demon blood fully take over? What ever it is that happened I won't let myself hurt her anymore. I can't hurt her anymore.

I retreated into my mind.

He killed him. He shoved his arm through Koga like he was nothing. Like his life didn't matter at all. I begged him not to, and he turned away and killed him. Why? Why have I lost him?

Inuyasha stood frozen in front of me with his blood soaked arm reached towards me. I can see the internal struggle in his eyes. Then he dropped his arm, and a smile appeared on his face.

He breathed deep, "It's good to be free,"

I tilted my head to the side in confusion. What is he talking about?

"Thank you for freeing me," Inuyasha had turned his head towards Koga's limp body. His gaze then returned to me.

"In-Inuyasha?" I stammered.

"He gave up. He thinks that you hate him now, although, he does not know what for," He smiled.

"What?"

"The dagger Koga stabbed him with was no ordinary weapon," He touched the spot on his shoulder where he was stabbed, "It woke me, and, while Inuyasha was distracted by voices he thought belonged to his parents, I began to take over. I, of course let him think he was in control, but I gave him the power to enjoy fear. Then you, the only person he truly cares for, showed him your fear, and you forced him to retreat into his mind. I thank you for that,"

I stared at Inuyasha. All he just said taking time to register, "Then who are you?"

"I am Katana. My soul was cursed to dwell in that dagger. When your wolf friend plunged the dagger into Inuyasha I was able to escape,"

"Why Inuyasha?"

"Why not? Besides, I don't decide who I inhabit; it is the one who controls the dagger that decides,"

Then if that's true, Naraku must have known what would happen, "Why were you cursed?"

"I murdered a goddess," He stated casually, "Of course I was much stronger then, and being trapped in a dagger for a millennium can have an effect on a demon. Although, it won't take long to get back up to par. Just a little training is all," He looked back towards Koga, "And now it's time to take what I made available to myself. How could I pass up the chance to own a body that comes equipped with shards of the Shikon no Tama?" He turned and walked towards Koga's body, but spoke over his shoulder to me, "Oh, so you're the one that broke it. Tisk, tisk, very reckless," He shook his head from side to side.

"Wait, what?" I stepped forward.

"I'm in control of his body, which includes access to his memories, and everything else. There are some very interesting things in here. You might be interested,"

I arched an eyebrow at him, "Then why leave his body?"

"Did you think I, a demon of legend, would want to stay in a half demon? You're kidding right?" he snickered, "The one who welds the dagger may choose what body I enter at first, but from then on I'm free," he continued his path to Koga.

"Then what will you do?"

"I'm taking this body, although, I think he's still alive. Well, no matter, I'll just make him think he's dead," After Katana's words exited his mouth a white light surrounded Inuyasha. The light dulled, and then disappeared.

Is it over?

Just then Inuyasha's head fell backwards and the white light shot from his mouth, and entered Koga's mouth. Once the cave fell dark, Inuyasha collapsed on the ground. I ran to his side, and lifted his head onto my lap, "Inuyasha can you hear me?"

"He cannot," Koga's body rose from the ground, and his red eyes looked down at me, "I told you; Inuyasha has given up. He has retreated into the dark corners in his mind. The thought of you being terrified of him was what sent him there,"

"But I know it wasn't Inuyasha that did it. It was you; you were the one that killed Koga," I looked into Katana's red eyes.

"Ha. No, I did no such thing. Koga is still alive. Just he is indisposed," He arched an eyebrow, "Why do you care? Which one of these men do you love? It is not good to play with hearts," He shook his head with disapproval.

"Play with hearts! I would never," I held a hand to my chest.

"Tisk, tisk. You forget. I have seen his memories,"

"I have never played with his heart!" I looked down to Inuyasha's peaceful face, "Never; not the way he has played with mine,"

"Do you forget so quickly? Just two nights ago you plunged an arrow through his heart, and then in the morning you were all over him,"

"You don't understand! I wasn't in control of myself,"

"Then what about just now? You told him not to kill this wolf, and if he did not then he would have surely died,"

"I don't want Koga to die either!"

"Well, like he said, you can't have it both ways," Katana struck a cord. What does that mean? Do I have to choose between Inuyasha and Koga? Why can't I be friends with both of them?

I stared at Inuyasha's face for what felt like a century, but a clawed hand on my shoulder brought me back out of my thoughts, "You seem very tired. Maybe I should bring you back to your village,"

"Why won't he wake up?" I held Inuyasha closer to my heart.

"He has lost faith in himself. Give him time and I'm sure he'll pull through," With that said, Katana picked Inuyasha and I both up, and then raced off towards Keade's village.

She fears me. Her tears were my fault. What happened? Something must have gone horribly wrong.

I thought back to the cave. What could it have been? I had blood all over my arm. Did I kill someone? What is it?

I racked the memory for anything that could tell me what happened. A figure had lain at the base of the cave wall. It was, it was Koga, and he was bleeding profusely. That's what it was. I attacked Koga, and killed him. That's why Kagome hates me now.

She hates me.

The darkness closed in around me, and I welcomed the escape from my memories.

Aren't you guys proud of me? I wrote two whole chapters in two days. Although, it most likely won't last. I don't think I have time to write another tomorrow. I have to study for an IB test. It can determine if I get my diploma, so I guess I should study. Well, till next time. Oh, yeah, and what do you guys think of Katana? He's an original character of mine. He's gonna make an appearance in the next chappy of Turning Point as well. Tell me what you think of him. I really want to know. TTFN
