There was no way... This girl wanted to kill him for the jewel... A freaking jewel! This girl is just plan nuts! No way is he gunna let this girl have it! Kaede pushed me behind her trying to protect me. But what she doesn't know is that I don't need protecting! I'm the strongest person alive! Well... in my school anyway... I may not fully know Kagome but in some strange way I feel like I do... Well at least my heart does... Seeing her like this brought a strange pain to it...
'No matter what I couldn't allow this jewel to curroupt her. I know she may be a demon but I can see the good in her. I just know it... there is some good in there somewhere... And somehow I'll help her... But at the moment... I have to run for my life!'Thought a calm but now panicking Inuyasha.
Before he could think of anything else Kagome started to run after him. And of course Inuyasha ran. No way in hell was he gunna let this girl beat the crap outta him. That's just so shameful. (I may be a girl but hey, I know what's shameful to a guy and that's getting his ass whooped by a girl... sometimes growing up with 3 brothers sure do teach ya heh heh heh, anyway back to the story)
Inuyasha ran as fast as he could. He could sense Kagome coming and fast. Ok sure, he's always had this power to sense when someone was about to attack him. How? He wasn't sure. But just as Kagome swung her claws, Inuyasha dodged and rolled on the ground. When he rolled far enough, Inuyasha placed his palms on the ground by his head, pulled his legs close to his chest than pushed himself off of the ground. When he thought it was safe Inuyasha ran.
But sadly that was all in vein. For when he was close to a cliff he fell. But thankfully he landed on the ground alright, without a scratch. But the thing was, the jewel was out of his grasp. Kagome landed in front of him and said "ha! A weak human like you can't even stand up straight!" Again Inuyasha felt a small pain in his heart. He still wasn't sure what was causing it but he knew that it had something to do with Kagome. Before anything was said both Inuyasha and Kagome heard Kaede's voice. It sounded like she was chanting.
When the chanting was complete little lights appeared and formed a beaded necklace around Kagome's neck. The little beads were white and the little fangs were a crystal blue. Inuyasha just stared at Kagome as she tried to take it off. But for Kagome it wasn't working. The necklace wouldn't come off. So Kagome just walked to the jewel saying "doesn't matter! This thing can't stop me!" Kaede calmly said "hurry lad! Ye must use the word of subjugation!"
Inuyasha finally stood up and and was thinking. He was trying to think of a word to use, but nothing came to mind. That is until he saw Kagome's ears. Only one word came to mind for him "HEEL GIRL!" With that said, the beads glowed and Kagome was frozen stiff. She was standing straight and wasn't moving. The only thing that could move was her mouth. All she could say was "what the hell is this!" Inuyasha walked up to her, picked up the jewel and said "I don't know but what I do know is that you ain't gunna get this jewel. See ya" Than Inuyasha walked back with the villagers to the village.
Inuyasha held onto the jewel as he asked "why does she want it so badly? She seems pretty strong to me." Kaede kept her calming voice as she said "that's the thing, she's only half demon." When she said that Kagome punched the floor board making a hole in it. She was pissed! So Kagome said "I really am getting sick and tired of listening to some old lady talking as if she knows me!" Kaede slightly smiled as she said "I don't blame ye for not knowing who I am, I'm Kaede..."
Kagome stared wide eyed at Kaede as she said "your... your Kai's sister Kaede? How long have I been sealed?" "50 years, ye have been sealed away for 50 years." Said a calm Kaede. Kagome scratched her head as she said "if your this old, than Kai might be pushing 100 by now... Oh well, I don't have to worry about getting old... At least no for a while..." Kaede sadly said "neither did Kai, he died... after he sealed ye to the tree..."
Kagome's dog ears twitched, as her gold eyes stared at Kaede... She couldn't believe what she was hearing... Kai was dead... But Kaede than said something that confused both Inuyasha and Kagome. "But Kai came back... as ye young man... You are my brother's reincarnation... And now ye must protect the jewel." Kagome screamed "HOW CAN HE BE KAI! HE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE KAI!" Inuyasha said in a calm voice "this coming from someone who thought I was Kai..." Kagome just screamed "SHUT UP!"
With that Kagome left. Inuyasha stared at Kaede and asked "what's with her?" Kaede calmly said "Kai and Kagome had... a history..." Inuyasha sighed. Not fully knowing what was wrong, so he decided to walk around the village... he wanted to be alone right now trying to let all of this sink in. As he walked Inuyasha noticed all of the villagers staring at him. This of course was confusing him. Than again he just finds out that he's a reincarnation of a monk that once protected a jewel that was suppose to be long gone.
So he walked to a tall tree that was in the village. But when he was about a few feet away from it he saw Kagome sitting on a high branch. When Inuyasha was about to walk away he felt a jolt of pain. For some reason the look on Kagome's face... caused him great pain. But he doesn't understand why. The pain had increased. Causing him to gasp out both loudly and painfully. It was too much for him to handle.
Kagome stared at Inuyasha from her perch and saw the pained look on his face. She wondered why he was in pain. Why did this human feel pain? She wasn't sure. But than Kagome saw that Inuyasha had passed out, and his face still had that pained look. So she jumped from where she was and ran to where he was. "What's with you?" Asked a annoyed Kagome. But she didn't get a responds. Kagome picked up Inuyasha and leaned his back against the tree.
Of course Kagome stayed next to him cause 1, she didn't want a demon to just appear and take the jewel. 2, the jewel was to be hers and hers alone... and finally 3, no matter what or how she denied it she could still see Kai in this young man and could never harm him. She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard a humming. But the thing is this humming was to a song, a song she thought she'd never hear again...
"How does he know this song?"
"How am I suppose to know! Maybe he has some memories of Kai..."
It's hard to say... Well I'll ask him when he wakes up...
But what Kagome doesn't know is that Inuyasha is dreaming about the past... Not his past but their past. The past of his past life and Kagome's...
Inuyasha is walking around in a forest. Wondering why he's here. Of course he remembers this dream slightly. As he walked he heard voices. One voice was close to his own and the other sounded like... Kagome's? How it that possible? He just kept walking till he found the source of the voices. And he was right. Sitting on a fallen log was a man that looked like him, guessing that that's his past life Kai. And next to him is Kagome... But something didn't seem right... This Kagome was... was... smiling?!
Kagome smiled as she stared at Kai, she seemed so happy and at peace. She happily said "how was your day Kai?"
Kai turned to her as he said "my day was peaceful. It's always peaceful with you around Kagome."
Kagome blushed a bit as she said happily "thank you Kai... What do you think will be in store for us today?" Kai looked up in the sky as he said with a big grin "just you and me, being together... That's what's in store..."
Inuyasha just stared at the scene that was before him. Kagome when he first met her, sounded like she hated Kai... But in this memory it seems almost as if she... loves him... Did she truly love him? The look in her eyes tell him that she did. Than Inuyasha saw the strange look on Kagome's face. It almost looked as if she was upset about something. Than he heard Kai ask her with concern "Kagome what's wrong? Are you thinking of your past?"
Kagome nodded as she said "I can't help but think that... No matter what I can't get away from my past... From what I am... I'm a half demon and I never felt freedom... No matter where I go... I'll never have freedom..."
Kai smiled at Kagome as he said "Freedom is a given, Freedom Can Never Be Truly Taken Away... Everyone is And Should Be Free... And you Kagome are free..." Kagome just stared at Kai as she happily said "thank you Kai... I don't know what I did to deserve someone like you..."
Kai smiled more as he held Kagome close to his chest saying "you didn't need to do anything... You were yourself and that's why I fell in love with you..."
When Inuyasha heard that he couldn't believe it. His past life was... was in love with Kagome... And yet he pinned her to a tree! What kind of person tells someone they love and kills them the next! That makes no sense! Kagome didn't deserve to be pinned to a tree! Even if he isn't sure what she did. But what ever it was he was gunna find out! But the next thing he knew is that he heard someone humming again. But this time the humming really did sound like it was from a song. The very song that Inuyasha wrote not long ago.
How was that possible? Ok sure, he heard the song just pop up in his head that one day and made a song about it but did that mean that his past life made this song? How was that possible? He wasn't sure... Before he could figure anything else out he woke up...
Inuyasha rubbed his eyes. He couldn't help but feel a little happy that the pain in his chest was gone. It seems that every time he sees Kagome's face that would make anyone upset, he would feel deep pain. Was it his past life's pain? He wasn't sure. Than Inuyasha saw that Kagome was sitting next to him. This of course confused him. Kagome calmly asked "how did you know that song?" Inuyasha stared at her like she was crazy and asked "what are you talking about?"
Kagome glared at Inuyasha as she said "that song you were humming! How the hell did you know that song! Only Kai knew that song!" Inuyasha let out a sigh as he said "well... to be honest I'm not sure... It popped in my head one day and I wrote the words to the song... Look I understand if the song is important to you so I won't sing it." Kagome just stared at Inuyasha as if he were someone else. This confused her. Than Kagome heard one other thing being said from Inuyasha "Freedom is a given, Freedom Can Never Be Truly Taken Away... Everyone is And Should Be Free..."
This shocked Kagome. She stared at him with wide eyes as she said "what did you say?" Inuyasha stared at Kagome as he said "I heard that being said in my dream... I know that statement means a lot to you as well... But you should remember those words Kagome... Those words are close to your heart and you should never let those words go... Cause they are true. Everyone deserves freedom, even you... Never think you're nothing cause you are something, your not a thing but a living breathing person. Remember that."
Kagome just couldn't believe her ears. Inuyasha, someone she wanted to kill yesterday was trying to be nice to her. Why? She wasn't sure. So wanted to hear the words to the song that Inuyasha was humming. Even though she heard Kai hum that song a little over 50 years ago she wanted to hear the words for Kai... never put words in the song. So she calmly asked "can... can you sing the song... please..." Inuyasha smiled a bit as he said "alright. Just listen carefully alright." He took a deep breath and sang in a lovely tone
"I wake from my sleep and face the day that I have the hopes to reach you someday...
I cannot go on take other steps 'cause my ways not easy to go...
No even I do really want to see you, I need to take my time, spend some days alone being by myself will be all I do..
If doesn't exist an ever lasting love in which I could believe, I got hurt because I was very awkward no wait but I don't want, to lose you know?
Thinkin' of you made me cry, so my eyes...they were filled with tears and all I've got, is my will to be with you again...Thinkin' of you made me cry, so many times, the only thing left in this song was you and I have my will to be with you someday...
I felt like I was so independant that I kept the words I want you to know...
You were the one that made me smile, when you saw my tearful face...
I...won't waste no time and gonna take the chance, to say these things to you, when the day will come I'll be strong enough my voice will be so loud, not just a sound.
Thinkin' of you made me cry, so my eyes...they were filled with tears and all I've got, is my will to be with you again...Thinkin' of you made me cry, so many times, the only thing left in this song was you and I have my will to be with you someday...
Thinkin' of you made me cry, so my eyes...they were filled with tears and all I've got, is my will to be with you again..Thinkin' of you made me cry, so many times, the only thing left in this song was you and I have my will to be with you someday...
Thinkin' of you made me cry, so my eyes...they were filled with tears and all I've got, is my will to be with you again..Thinkin' of you made me cry, so many times, the only thing left in this song was you and I have my will to be with you someday...
So my eyes...they were filled with tears and all I've got is my will to be with you again..Thinkin' of you made me cry....ahh...the only thing left in this song was you, and I have my will to be with you someday..."
Kagome gave a small but hidden smile as she said "that... that was sang very well..." Inuyasha smiled a bit as he said "thanks... Well I thick I've been out here long enough. I'm going back to the hut, see ya Kagome." With that Inuyasha got up and left. He had a feeling that Kagome wanted to be alone. But he too, slightly wanted to be alone... He wants to know why he keeps having these strange dreams, why he feels pain in his heart once in a while...? Why does this happen to him?
No one knows. When he walked back into the hut standing there was Kaede. She calmly asked "how was your walk?" Inuyasha sighed a bit as he said "villagers staring at me, saw Kagome, felt a huge pain in my chest, passed out, had a strange dream with Kai and Kagome, woke up and talked to Kagome and she asked me to sing, I'd say that was one of the most interesting and yet strangest walks I've had in my entire life."
Kaede just stared at Inuyasha as she said "wait, ye had a dream with Kagome and Kai in it? How many or how long have ye been having these dreams?" Inuyasha looked up as he said "not long... Maybe a few years... Why?" Kaede calmly answers "ye seem to be having the memories of my older brother when he was alive... All of his best and happy memories seem to be flowing through ye mind when ye sleep... What other dream have ye had?"
Inuyasha looked away as he said "I had a dream where Kai pinned Kagome to a tree, I don't understand it... I know Kai and Kagome loved eachother... But what caused them to hate each other so much for him to pin her to a tree?" Kaede shook her head sadly as she said "I'm not sure... He died before anyone could ask. Maybe ye memories can unlock the reason someday..." Inuyasha nodded as he said "well it's late... I'm going to bed, night."
With that Inuyasha went to sleep. And for once he wasn't having any dreams of his past life. But dreams of wonder, wondering of what's going on with his family. It's been two days since he's been here and yet he hasn't returned home yet... What will happen now? At the moment the young teen wasn't sure...
"What do you think that human boy will do?"
"I'm not sure... he seems nice... But than again Kai was nice and look at what happened! We were pinned to a tree for 50 years!"
He doesn't seem that bad... I mean... no he's a human and humans can't be trusted! I'll get the jewel and become a full demon! Once that happens I can kill him and be rid of him for good!
"Yeah... Being a full demon rules!"
"Oh yeah right! At first you wanted to be a full demon! Than you met Kai and wanted to be human! Now you go back to being demon! Just make up your mind dammit!"
Wow, never heard you swear before... That's a first... Well let's go to sleep, it's late...
With that Kagome and her other selves went to sleep. Wondering what she should do to get the jewel. But what she doesn't know is what should she do to get it.
When he was about to run to the well he was captured by some bandits. And taken away to their hideout. The bandits held onto Inuyasha tight so he couldn't get away. No way were they gunna let him go. (I know sounds a little weird that I'm putting guy bandits like in the show in this story but hey it works... sorta)
One of the bandits said "hey boss! We got the boy you wanted!" Than a huge, and when I mean huge I mean HUGE guy with sickly pale skin came out of the shadows. He calmly said "give me the jewel and you'll live." Inuyasha growled as he said "and if I don't give you the jewel?" The man calmly said "than I'll kill you."
Inuyasha smirked as he said "yeah right! Like you could kill me! You don't got the guts to kill me! Just let me go and I'll pretend like I never met you." But sadly the man didn't listen to Inuyasha and tried to cut him in half. But the guy, of course missed and hit one of his own men. Inuyasha was free and punched the other guy in the face. The man kept saying "give me the jewel!" Over and over. So Inuyasha grabbed the jewel and tossed it out the window saying "YOU WANT IT! THAN GO GET IT YOU ASSHOLE!" The jewel was out the window.
The man was about to cut Inuyasha. Inuyasha closed is eyes thinking 'ok, I'll admit... I'm dead! I'm going to die and the last thing I did was throw a stupid jewel out the fucking window!'
But the attack never came. When Inuyasha opened his eyes he saw that Kagome came through the wall and the sword his her kimono sleeve causing the sword to somehow break in half. Inuyasha was in a little bit of shock. Kagome punched the man with both fists than kicked him right in the face, which of course caused him to be knocked down. Kagome stared at Inuyasha as she asked "is the jewel alright?" Inuyasha gave a blank expression as he said "huh?"
Kagome groaned as she said "please just tell me you didn't just say "huh?"" Than Kagome covered her nose as she said with disgust "ugh! What is that smell! It smells like death!" Than the top part of the armor fell off. The only thing that you could see was a hole where his heart should be, but a crow with three red eyes came out of the hole. Kagome smirked as she said "well... it looks like this demon ripped out this guy's living beating heart and made a nest out of him. Well might as well as take care of it."
With that Kagome jabbed her hand right through the hole and the crow demon just came right out of the guys back. But what they didn't know is that the crow picked up the jewel and swallowed it. Inuyasha and Kagome both ran out to see the demon. And of course the demon had gotten bigger. Kagome growled deadly till she saw some arrows, placed Inuyasha on her back and chased after the demon.
Kagome calmly said "Kai was a master archer! I'm pretty sure you can stop the demon." Inuyasha calmly stated out "but I'm not Kai!" Kagome snorted as she said "I know this, but still it's the only plan we got!" Inuyasha sighed, got the bow and arrow ready than let it fly! The arrow was going, going, going! Fail... It failed! Kagome landed on the ground, with her face in the dirt saying "that... was pathetic..." Inuyasha yelled "I told you that I wasn't Kai! I never used a freaking bow in my life!"
Kagome got up, and got Inuyasha off of her back screaming "FINE! FUCK YOU THAN! I'M GETTING THAT DEMON CROW AND TAKING IT FOR MYSELF!" With that Kagome was gone. Inuyasha sighed as he said "well... I can tell that I really pissed her off... Might as well see if there's anything I can do to help though..." And with that said Inuyasha go up, and ran back to the village.
The little boy too fell into the river. Kagome landed on the rock that was in the river, trying to find the jewel. Not really caring if the little boy needed help. Inuyasha had arrived and saw the little boy in the river. So he took his shoes, socks and his shirt off and jumped into the river. He swam to the little boy hoping that he could make it. A villager screamed "he's a imp! Only a imp could swim like that!" Inuyasha grabbed the boy and started to swim on his back.
The same villager screamed "now it's on his back! What a boy! What a imp!" Inuyasha could only think of one thing 'jeez... their acting if they haven't seen anyone swim before... But hey I'm glad I took lessons.'Once Inuyasha was on the sore the villagers were all screaming with joy at how Inuyasha saved the little boy. Kagome growled at Inuyasha as she said "get back to the jewel boy!" Inuyasha glared at Kagome as he said "I don't care about the jewel! A life was in danger and a life is more important!"
Than the demon bird was starting to form again, and it took flight. But that wasn't the only thing. Something kept lifting or trying to lift the boy from the ground. Inuyasha saw the birds foot and had an idea on what to do. So he grabbed a bow and arrow, tied the foot to the arrow and lunched the arrow at the bird. Kagome stared at the arrow knowing that for once Inuyasha had a good idea. Inuyasha calmly thought 'the foot can't be helped but be drawn to the jewel. With the foot attached to the arrow it's bound to make a hit.'
When the arrow hit the bird there was a bright light. No one was sure what it was but than there was a burst of light and it split into millions of lights that lit up the sky. Kaede saw this and said "this... this can't be good..."
The sun was close to setting. Kagome and Inuyasha were searching for the jewel. Kagome calmly asked "you sure it fell around here?" Inuyasha nodded as he said "I'm pretty sure it did." Both of them sighed. This was taking a long time. Inuyasha couldn't sense the jewel at all. Kagome was getting impenitent. And they've been searching for hours! But than there was a sound, the sound of a incoming bird. Inuyasha yelped with surprise but Kagome cut the demon in half.
But there was something on the ground, it was a shard of some kind. But they weren't sure what it was. Kagome asked "what's that?" Inuyasha picked it up and said "I think it's a shard of the Shikon Jewel." Kagome's eyes widened with shock as she asked "what... did you just say?" Inuyasha turned his head to the half demon as he said "it's a shard of the jewel." Than Kagome screamed out at the top of her lungs "DAMMMMMMIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
'No matter what I couldn't allow this jewel to curroupt her. I know she may be a demon but I can see the good in her. I just know it... there is some good in there somewhere... And somehow I'll help her... But at the moment... I have to run for my life!'Thought a calm but now panicking Inuyasha.
Before he could think of anything else Kagome started to run after him. And of course Inuyasha ran. No way in hell was he gunna let this girl beat the crap outta him. That's just so shameful. (I may be a girl but hey, I know what's shameful to a guy and that's getting his ass whooped by a girl... sometimes growing up with 3 brothers sure do teach ya heh heh heh, anyway back to the story)
Inuyasha ran as fast as he could. He could sense Kagome coming and fast. Ok sure, he's always had this power to sense when someone was about to attack him. How? He wasn't sure. But just as Kagome swung her claws, Inuyasha dodged and rolled on the ground. When he rolled far enough, Inuyasha placed his palms on the ground by his head, pulled his legs close to his chest than pushed himself off of the ground. When he thought it was safe Inuyasha ran.
But sadly that was all in vein. For when he was close to a cliff he fell. But thankfully he landed on the ground alright, without a scratch. But the thing was, the jewel was out of his grasp. Kagome landed in front of him and said "ha! A weak human like you can't even stand up straight!" Again Inuyasha felt a small pain in his heart. He still wasn't sure what was causing it but he knew that it had something to do with Kagome. Before anything was said both Inuyasha and Kagome heard Kaede's voice. It sounded like she was chanting.
When the chanting was complete little lights appeared and formed a beaded necklace around Kagome's neck. The little beads were white and the little fangs were a crystal blue. Inuyasha just stared at Kagome as she tried to take it off. But for Kagome it wasn't working. The necklace wouldn't come off. So Kagome just walked to the jewel saying "doesn't matter! This thing can't stop me!" Kaede calmly said "hurry lad! Ye must use the word of subjugation!"
Inuyasha finally stood up and and was thinking. He was trying to think of a word to use, but nothing came to mind. That is until he saw Kagome's ears. Only one word came to mind for him "HEEL GIRL!" With that said, the beads glowed and Kagome was frozen stiff. She was standing straight and wasn't moving. The only thing that could move was her mouth. All she could say was "what the hell is this!" Inuyasha walked up to her, picked up the jewel and said "I don't know but what I do know is that you ain't gunna get this jewel. See ya" Than Inuyasha walked back with the villagers to the village.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was morning and Kaede was tending to Inuyasha's wound. Of course the wound would have normally hurt like hell, but Inuyasha felt worse pain than this before. Of course his wound was healing up alright so he couldn't complain. As soon as his pain was tended too he turned his head and said with a bored tone "and what are you doing here?" Laying on the ground Kagome calmly said "I'm waiting for the jewel." Kaede calmly said "don't worry, as long as those beads are around her neck she can't get to the jewel."Inuyasha held onto the jewel as he asked "why does she want it so badly? She seems pretty strong to me." Kaede kept her calming voice as she said "that's the thing, she's only half demon." When she said that Kagome punched the floor board making a hole in it. She was pissed! So Kagome said "I really am getting sick and tired of listening to some old lady talking as if she knows me!" Kaede slightly smiled as she said "I don't blame ye for not knowing who I am, I'm Kaede..."
Kagome stared wide eyed at Kaede as she said "your... your Kai's sister Kaede? How long have I been sealed?" "50 years, ye have been sealed away for 50 years." Said a calm Kaede. Kagome scratched her head as she said "if your this old, than Kai might be pushing 100 by now... Oh well, I don't have to worry about getting old... At least no for a while..." Kaede sadly said "neither did Kai, he died... after he sealed ye to the tree..."
Kagome's dog ears twitched, as her gold eyes stared at Kaede... She couldn't believe what she was hearing... Kai was dead... But Kaede than said something that confused both Inuyasha and Kagome. "But Kai came back... as ye young man... You are my brother's reincarnation... And now ye must protect the jewel." Kagome screamed "HOW CAN HE BE KAI! HE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE KAI!" Inuyasha said in a calm voice "this coming from someone who thought I was Kai..." Kagome just screamed "SHUT UP!"
With that Kagome left. Inuyasha stared at Kaede and asked "what's with her?" Kaede calmly said "Kai and Kagome had... a history..." Inuyasha sighed. Not fully knowing what was wrong, so he decided to walk around the village... he wanted to be alone right now trying to let all of this sink in. As he walked Inuyasha noticed all of the villagers staring at him. This of course was confusing him. Than again he just finds out that he's a reincarnation of a monk that once protected a jewel that was suppose to be long gone.
So he walked to a tall tree that was in the village. But when he was about a few feet away from it he saw Kagome sitting on a high branch. When Inuyasha was about to walk away he felt a jolt of pain. For some reason the look on Kagome's face... caused him great pain. But he doesn't understand why. The pain had increased. Causing him to gasp out both loudly and painfully.

But she didn't get a responds. Kagome picked up Inuyasha and leaned his back against the tree.
Of course Kagome stayed next to him cause 1, she didn't want a demon to just appear and take the jewel. 2, the jewel was to be hers and hers alone... and finally 3, no matter what or how she denied it she could still see Kai in this young man and could never harm him. She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard a humming. But the thing is this humming was to a song, a song she thought she'd never hear again...
"How does he know this song?"
"How am I suppose to know! Maybe he has some memories of Kai..."
It's hard to say... Well I'll ask him when he wakes up...
But what Kagome doesn't know is that Inuyasha is dreaming about the past... Not his past but their past. The past of his past life and Kagome's...
Inuyasha is walking around in a forest. Wondering why he's here. Of course he remembers this dream slightly. As he walked he heard voices. One voice was close to his own and the other sounded like...

Kagome smiled as she stared at Kai, she seemed so happy and at peace. She happily said "how was your day Kai?"
Kai turned to her as he said "my day was peaceful. It's always peaceful with you around Kagome."
Kagome blushed a bit as she said happily "thank you Kai... What do you think will be in store for us today?" Kai looked up in the sky as he said with a big grin "just you and me, being together... That's what's in store..."
Inuyasha just stared at the scene that was before him. Kagome when he first met her, sounded like she hated Kai... But in this memory it seems almost as if she... loves him... Did she truly love him? The look in her eyes tell him that she did. Than Inuyasha saw the strange look on Kagome's face. It almost looked as if she was upset about something. Than he heard Kai ask her with concern "Kagome what's wrong? Are you thinking of your past?"
Kagome nodded as she said "I can't help but think that... No matter what I can't get away from my past... From what I am... I'm a half demon and I never felt freedom... No matter where I go... I'll never have freedom..."
Kai smiled at Kagome as he said "Freedom is a given, Freedom Can Never Be Truly Taken Away... Everyone is And Should Be Free... And you Kagome are free..." Kagome just stared at Kai as she happily said "thank you Kai... I don't know what I did to deserve someone like you..."
Kai smiled more as he held Kagome close to his chest saying "you didn't need to do anything... You were yourself and that's why I fell in love with you..."
When Inuyasha heard that he couldn't believe it. His past life was... was in love with Kagome... And yet he pinned her to a tree! What kind of person tells someone they love and kills them the next! That makes no sense! Kagome didn't deserve to be pinned to a tree! Even if he isn't sure what she did. But what ever it was he was gunna find out! But the next thing he knew is that he heard someone humming again. But this time the humming really did sound like it was from a song. The very song that Inuyasha wrote not long ago.
How was that possible? Ok sure, he heard the song just pop up in his head that one day and made a song about it but did that mean that his past life made this song? How was that possible? He wasn't sure... Before he could figure anything else out he woke up...
Inuyasha rubbed his eyes. He couldn't help but feel a little happy that the pain in his chest was gone. It seems that every time he sees Kagome's face that would make anyone upset, he would feel deep pain. Was it his past life's pain? He wasn't sure. Than Inuyasha saw that Kagome was sitting next to him. This of course confused him. Kagome calmly asked "how did you know that song?" Inuyasha stared at her like she was crazy and asked "what are you talking about?"
Kagome glared at Inuyasha as she said "that song you were humming! How the hell did you know that song! Only Kai knew that song!" Inuyasha let out a sigh as he said "well... to be honest I'm not sure... It popped in my head one day and I wrote the words to the song... Look I understand if the song is important to you so I won't sing it." Kagome just stared at Inuyasha as if he were someone else. This confused her. Than Kagome heard one other thing being said from Inuyasha "Freedom is a given, Freedom Can Never Be Truly Taken Away... Everyone is And Should Be Free..."
This shocked Kagome. She stared at him with wide eyes as she said "what did you say?" Inuyasha stared at Kagome as he said "I heard that being said in my dream... I know that statement means a lot to you as well... But you should remember those words Kagome... Those words are close to your heart and you should never let those words go... Cause they are true. Everyone deserves freedom, even you... Never think you're nothing cause you are something, your not a thing but a living breathing person. Remember that."
Kagome just couldn't believe her ears. Inuyasha, someone she wanted to kill yesterday was trying to be nice to her. Why? She wasn't sure. So wanted to hear the words to the song that Inuyasha was humming. Even though she heard Kai hum that song a little over 50 years ago she wanted to hear the words for Kai... never put words in the song. So she calmly asked "can... can you sing the song... please..." Inuyasha smiled a bit as he said "alright. Just listen carefully alright." He took a deep breath and sang in a lovely tone
"I wake from my sleep and face the day that I have the hopes to reach you someday...
I cannot go on take other steps 'cause my ways not easy to go...
No even I do really want to see you, I need to take my time, spend some days alone being by myself will be all I do..
If doesn't exist an ever lasting love in which I could believe, I got hurt because I was very awkward no wait but I don't want, to lose you know?
Thinkin' of you made me cry, so my eyes...they were filled with tears and all I've got, is my will to be with you again...Thinkin' of you made me cry, so many times, the only thing left in this song was you and I have my will to be with you someday...
I felt like I was so independant that I kept the words I want you to know...
You were the one that made me smile, when you saw my tearful face...
I...won't waste no time and gonna take the chance, to say these things to you, when the day will come I'll be strong enough my voice will be so loud, not just a sound.
Thinkin' of you made me cry, so my eyes...they were filled with tears and all I've got, is my will to be with you again...Thinkin' of you made me cry, so many times, the only thing left in this song was you and I have my will to be with you someday...
Thinkin' of you made me cry, so my eyes...they were filled with tears and all I've got, is my will to be with you again..Thinkin' of you made me cry, so many times, the only thing left in this song was you and I have my will to be with you someday...
Thinkin' of you made me cry, so my eyes...they were filled with tears and all I've got, is my will to be with you again..Thinkin' of you made me cry, so many times, the only thing left in this song was you and I have my will to be with you someday...
So my eyes...they were filled with tears and all I've got is my will to be with you again..Thinkin' of you made me cry....ahh...the only thing left in this song was you, and I have my will to be with you someday..."
Kagome gave a small but hidden smile as she said "that... that was sang very well..." Inuyasha smiled a bit as he said "thanks... Well I thick I've been out here long enough. I'm going back to the hut, see ya Kagome." With that Inuyasha got up and left. He had a feeling that Kagome wanted to be alone. But he too, slightly wanted to be alone... He wants to know why he keeps having these strange dreams, why he feels pain in his heart once in a while...? Why does this happen to him?
No one knows. When he walked back into the hut standing there was Kaede. She calmly asked "how was your walk?" Inuyasha sighed a bit as he said "villagers staring at me, saw Kagome, felt a huge pain in my chest, passed out, had a strange dream with Kai and Kagome, woke up and talked to Kagome and she asked me to sing, I'd say that was one of the most interesting and yet strangest walks I've had in my entire life."
Kaede just stared at Inuyasha as she said "wait, ye had a dream with Kagome and Kai in it? How many or how long have ye been having these dreams?" Inuyasha looked up as he said "not long... Maybe a few years... Why?" Kaede calmly answers "ye seem to be having the memories of my older brother when he was alive... All of his best and happy memories seem to be flowing through ye mind when ye sleep... What other dream have ye had?"
Inuyasha looked away as he said "I had a dream where Kai pinned Kagome to a tree, I don't understand it... I know Kai and Kagome loved eachother... But what caused them to hate each other so much for him to pin her to a tree?" Kaede shook her head sadly as she said "I'm not sure... He died before anyone could ask. Maybe ye memories can unlock the reason someday..." Inuyasha nodded as he said "well it's late... I'm going to bed, night."
With that Inuyasha went to sleep. And for once he wasn't having any dreams of his past life. But dreams of wonder, wondering of what's going on with his family. It's been two days since he's been here and yet he hasn't returned home yet... What will happen now? At the moment the young teen wasn't sure...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome was outside in deep thought. She wasn't sure what was going to happen. At the moment all she could do was talk to her other half's."What do you think that human boy will do?"
"I'm not sure... he seems nice... But than again Kai was nice and look at what happened! We were pinned to a tree for 50 years!"
He doesn't seem that bad... I mean... no he's a human and humans can't be trusted! I'll get the jewel and become a full demon! Once that happens I can kill him and be rid of him for good!
"Yeah... Being a full demon rules!"
"Oh yeah right! At first you wanted to be a full demon! Than you met Kai and wanted to be human! Now you go back to being demon! Just make up your mind dammit!"
Wow, never heard you swear before... That's a first... Well let's go to sleep, it's late...
With that Kagome and her other selves went to sleep. Wondering what she should do to get the jewel. But what she doesn't know is what should she do to get it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha woke up early that day, he wasn't going to stay any longer. If he was right he came here through the well. So if he just jumped back in than he should be taken home and can forget all of this craziness. With that idea in his head Inuyasha walked to the well. Without saying good bye of course. He was walking through the forest now, Ok sure it was a thick forest but hey, at least he could still walk through it. For what felt almost an hour Inuyasha finally saw the well and smiled.When he was about to run to the well he was captured by some bandits. And taken away to their hideout. The bandits held onto Inuyasha tight so he couldn't get away. No way were they gunna let him go. (I know sounds a little weird that I'm putting guy bandits like in the show in this story but hey it works... sorta)
One of the bandits said "hey boss! We got the boy you wanted!" Than a huge, and when I mean huge I mean HUGE guy with sickly pale skin came out of the shadows. He calmly said "give me the jewel and you'll live." Inuyasha growled as he said "and if I don't give you the jewel?" The man calmly said "than I'll kill you."
Inuyasha smirked as he said "yeah right! Like you could kill me! You don't got the guts to kill me! Just let me go and I'll pretend like I never met you." But sadly the man didn't listen to Inuyasha and tried to cut him in half. But the guy, of course missed and hit one of his own men. Inuyasha was free and punched the other guy in the face. The man kept saying "give me the jewel!" Over and over. So Inuyasha grabbed the jewel and tossed it out the window saying "YOU WANT IT! THAN GO GET IT YOU ASSHOLE!" The jewel was out the window.
The man was about to cut Inuyasha. Inuyasha closed is eyes thinking 'ok, I'll admit... I'm dead! I'm going to die and the last thing I did was throw a stupid jewel out the fucking window!'
But the attack never came. When Inuyasha opened his eyes he saw that Kagome came through the wall and the sword his her kimono sleeve causing the sword to somehow break in half. Inuyasha was in a little bit of shock. Kagome punched the man with both fists than kicked him right in the face, which of course caused him to be knocked down. Kagome stared at Inuyasha as she asked "is the jewel alright?" Inuyasha gave a blank expression as he said "huh?"
Kagome groaned as she said "please just tell me you didn't just say "huh?"" Than Kagome covered her nose as she said with disgust "ugh! What is that smell! It smells like death!" Than the top part of the armor fell off. The only thing that you could see was a hole where his heart should be, but a crow with three red eyes came out of the hole. Kagome smirked as she said "well... it looks like this demon ripped out this guy's living beating heart and made a nest out of him. Well might as well as take care of it."
With that Kagome jabbed her hand right through the hole and the crow demon just came right out of the guys back. But what they didn't know is that the crow picked up the jewel and swallowed it. Inuyasha and Kagome both ran out to see the demon. And of course the demon had gotten bigger. Kagome growled deadly till she saw some arrows, placed Inuyasha on her back and chased after the demon.
Kagome calmly said "Kai was a master archer! I'm pretty sure you can stop the demon." Inuyasha calmly stated out "but I'm not Kai!" Kagome snorted as she said "I know this, but still it's the only plan we got!" Inuyasha sighed, got the bow and arrow ready than let it fly! The arrow was going, going, going! Fail... It failed! Kagome landed on the ground, with her face in the dirt saying "that... was pathetic..." Inuyasha yelled "I told you that I wasn't Kai! I never used a freaking bow in my life!"
Kagome got up, and got Inuyasha off of her back screaming "FINE! FUCK YOU THAN! I'M GETTING THAT DEMON CROW AND TAKING IT FOR MYSELF!" With that Kagome was gone. Inuyasha sighed as he said "well... I can tell that I really pissed her off... Might as well see if there's anything I can do to help though..." And with that said Inuyasha go up, and ran back to the village.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The bird demon had flew into the village. It was looking for a new host and wanted to find something young this time. So it swooped in and grabbed a little boy and flew off. The mother of the boy screamed for her child. The demon was flying high up. Kagome of course saw this and was running ontop of the trees. She thought with a smirk 'trying to get a new host huh? I don't think so!'With that, Kagome jumped from her spot and cut the demon bird into pieces.The little boy too fell into the river. Kagome landed on the rock that was in the river, trying to find the jewel. Not really caring if the little boy needed help. Inuyasha had arrived and saw the little boy in the river. So he took his shoes, socks and his shirt off and jumped into the river. He swam to the little boy hoping that he could make it. A villager screamed "he's a imp! Only a imp could swim like that!" Inuyasha grabbed the boy and started to swim on his back.
The same villager screamed "now it's on his back! What a boy! What a imp!" Inuyasha could only think of one thing 'jeez... their acting if they haven't seen anyone swim before... But hey I'm glad I took lessons.'Once Inuyasha was on the sore the villagers were all screaming with joy at how Inuyasha saved the little boy. Kagome growled at Inuyasha as she said "get back to the jewel boy!" Inuyasha glared at Kagome as he said "I don't care about the jewel! A life was in danger and a life is more important!"
Than the demon bird was starting to form again, and it took flight. But that wasn't the only thing. Something kept lifting or trying to lift the boy from the ground. Inuyasha saw the birds foot and had an idea on what to do. So he grabbed a bow and arrow, tied the foot to the arrow and lunched the arrow at the bird. Kagome stared at the arrow knowing that for once Inuyasha had a good idea. Inuyasha calmly thought 'the foot can't be helped but be drawn to the jewel. With the foot attached to the arrow it's bound to make a hit.'
When the arrow hit the bird there was a bright light. No one was sure what it was but than there was a burst of light and it split into millions of lights that lit up the sky. Kaede saw this and said "this... this can't be good..."
The sun was close to setting. Kagome and Inuyasha were searching for the jewel. Kagome calmly asked "you sure it fell around here?" Inuyasha nodded as he said "I'm pretty sure it did." Both of them sighed. This was taking a long time. Inuyasha couldn't sense the jewel at all. Kagome was getting impenitent. And they've been searching for hours! But than there was a sound, the sound of a incoming bird. Inuyasha yelped with surprise but Kagome cut the demon in half.
But there was something on the ground, it was a shard of some kind. But they weren't sure what it was. Kagome asked "what's that?" Inuyasha picked it up and said "I think it's a shard of the Shikon Jewel." Kagome's eyes widened with shock as she asked "what... did you just say?" Inuyasha turned his head to the half demon as he said "it's a shard of the jewel." Than Kagome screamed out at the top of her lungs "DAMMMMMMIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
