Chapter 22

Her scent was getting stronger as Inuyasha went deeper into the cave. The scent of roses was strong, but he drive to see Kagome was stronger. Her scent and life force seemed like the only thing he could feel and smell.

He finally saw some light coming from up ahead. He entered a room with a glowing crystal sphere in the center, and a pit with a room-like area in it. The walls were all covered in the same black thorns as the rest of the cave.

Kagome smelled close by, but the room also smelled of death. Inuyasha turned around and cringed at the sight of the wall of heads. Kagome was so close but she was nowhere in sight. Inuyasha was very frustrated and took a rock and threw it at the wall in agitation. When he heard the sound it made when it made contact with the wall, he paused.

Instead of sounding like solid rock on rock and thorn. The rock sounded like it made contact with something hollow.

Hollow? How can the wall be hollow? Unless . . .

He started pushing on the far side of the wall, and after the use of some of his strength, it started to turn. (AN: Think of the turning bookcase in mystery movies and Young Frankenstein) Soon enough he turned it enough to allow him top get through. But as soon as he let go the wall swung in place and made a loud boom. The room as the same as the last minus the ditch and the wall of heads.

He only looked around the room for a few seconds before he spotted her. Kagome was up against a wall with her hands tied above her and a piece of cloth in her mouth to gag her.

“Kagome.” He breathed.

 . . .

My head hurts so much. Kagome had a lot of pain in her head from being knocked unconscious. Before Kagome woke up, she was dreaming of Inuyasha. She didn’t bother to open her eyes, she was still drowsy.

The only time I may even be to see and smell Inuyasha again is in my dreams. But at least he’s safe. Kagome picked up Inuyasha’s scent close by. Funny I must still be dreaming. But the scent only got stronger. What made her fully awake was a loud boom that sounded in front of her. At this point Kagome started to panic.

No! No he can’t be here!  He’s gonna get killed! I have to wake up! Wake up!

“Kagome.” He whispered. Her ears twitched at the sound of her name being called by him. She slowly opened her eyes, and there he was. His silver hair shining in the glow of the crystal sphere, his bold fire-rat kimono, and his golden eyes staring back at her.

Tears started building up and falling from Kagome’s eyes. And next thing she knew, she was full blown sobbing. Inuyasha made quick work of getting her untied. He held her close in his arms nuzzling her neck to take in her and Oki’s scent.

Kagome should be yelling at him to run, to get away! But all she could feel when she saw Inuyasha was relief. After Kagome’s sobbing slowed, she caught up to reality.
