Ch. 41
Decision of the Soul
---------------------------------------
“Revive InuYasha!”, Kikyo repeats.
The soul hovers over their heads, not obeying Kikyo’s order.
Kagome runs to InuYasha’s slumped form, she cradles his body, “No…!”, she cries, tears streaming down her cheeks, ‘This can’t be happening’, she thinks, stroking his hair.
His eyes were closed, and his face held a very peaceful look, but the color was draining from his skin.
“Soul! I demand you return to your proper body!”, Kikyo screams, stomping her foot.
The soul seemed to look between the hollow shell created by Kikyo and the body in Kagome’s arms.
Suddenly, the soul dives into the body, it had come out of.
The color returns to InuYasha’s flesh, he starts to stir in Kagome’s arms, his violet eyes fluttering open.
“Ka…gome…”, he whispers.
“Yes, my love?”, she asks.
“What…happened?”
“Kikyo removed your soul from your body for a few moments, but it quickly returned to you”, she replies, brushing a stray hair from his face.
“Good…that my soul…returned to me”, he sighs, “Could you…help me stand?”
“Sure”, she nods.
Kikyo stares at the couple in disbelief, as Kagome helps her fiancé to his feet.
“How?”, Kikyo questions.
“Hm? What’s your problem?”, InuYasha retorts.
“How is it, my plan failed? Why wasn’t InuYasha revived?”
The sun rises over the horizon behind the young couple.
“Kikyo…”, he says, grabbing hold of his pendent, “…you can’t bring back…”, he yanks the pendent from around his neck, allowing his demonic features to show, “…someone who isn’t dead!”, he smirks, flashing his fangs at her.
“Inu…Yasha…”, Kikyo gasps, her eyes widening in shock.
“That’s my name, don’t wear it out”, he sarcastically retorts, “Thought your curse killed me, huh? Well, I won’t die so easily!”
“You filthy hanyou! I’ll make sure you die this time!”, Kikyo screams, a dagger raised above her head, charging towards him.
InuYasha just stares her down, as she quickly closes the gap between them.
Suddenly, the sound of the dagger clattering on the floor rings through the cavern, Kagome peeks open her eyes; having closed them during Kikyo’s charge, and sees Karin restraining Kikyo in a headlock.
Karin was wearing a white knee-length kimono with long flowing sleeves, two white feathered wings sticking from her back, and her shoulder-length brown hair swayed as Kikyo fought against her hold.
“Who ever you are! Release me!”, Kikyo demands, struggling.
“I’m an Angel of Fate! And, no! I will not release you!”, Karin retorts, tightening her grip.
“An Angel of Fate? Never heard of you!”
“I’m the guardian of destiny!”, she simply says, “And you Kikyo, isn’t fated to be in the world of the living anymore!”
“No…my plan…!”, Kikyo drifts off, as she passes out when Karin pinches a nerve, to knock her out.
“Hey Karin”, InuYasha says.
“Oh, hey InuYasha! What are you doing here?”
“Trying to trap Kikyo!”, he huffs.
“Well, I’ll take care of her, you return to Kaede’s village and get some rest”, Karin states, “Having your soul removed from your body can tire you out”.
His body twitches as his eye-lids start to droop, he fights to remain conscious, “I’m not…”, a badly timed yawn, “…tired”.
“Liar”, Kagome scorns, smiling.
He could only glare at her coldly.
“Come here, Kirara!”, she calls.
She comes scampering in, then transforms into her lager state.
“Thank you Kirara, for playing your part in my plan”, he says, patting the cat demon on the head.
She purrs as she nuzzles his cheek.
He weakly climbs onto Kirara’s back, then helps Kagome climb up and sit behind him.
“Let’s head back to the village!”, he states, before his eyes close and he falls backwards against Kagome; his head resting on her breasts, and starts lightly snoring.
“Oh InuYasha…”, Kagome sighs, hugging him across the shoulders to prevent him from falling off Kirara’s back, “Let’s go back to Kaede’s village, Kirara”, she repeats.
Kirara takes off to the skies, carrying her cargo.
