The Strength of my Heart by Black_Sakura_Blossom

Come to me

It was a new day in Feudal Japan; Inuyasha awoke and looked over his odd group of friends. Sango was sleeping next to Kirara and Miroku had his arms wrapped around her, his hands very close to her lower backside. 'It is going to be a loud morning' Inuyasha couldn't help but smirk at the thought of the raging demon slayer and the perverted monk. One person however was missing from the group, Kagome, the young 15-year-old priestess he had vowed to protect and come to care for. Kagome was currently in her own time getting supplies and studying for those tests of hers. ' She said she would be done her test for a while and would be coming back for a few months in order to find the last jewel shard'.

Inuyasha took off to pick up Kagome from the well when he saw Kikyo's soul collectors from the tree tops 'Kikyo...' all other thoughts and responsibilities left him as he raced to meet with his lost love.


Kikyo stood waiting as she sent her soul collectors to find and bring Inuyasha to her. 'I have waited long enough for you Inuyasha, it is time for you to fulfill your promise to me'.

"Come to me Inuyasha"


Kagome let out a loud sigh as she lifted her backpack onto her shoulders and headed to the well house ' I better get back before Inuyasha comes to get me, I don't want to get in a fight with him today. I brought extra Raman so he should be happy and with exams for this year finally over I can spend more time in the feudal Era collecting the shards'. Kagome's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her family saying goodbye, with one last wave Kagome jumped into the well and crossed over into Feudal Japan.

Kagome looked up from the bottom of the well to see the clear open sky of Feudal Japan. 'The air is so much cleaner here compared to my time, I wonder how Inuyasha stands it when he comes through the well?' Kagome climbed out of the well and was surprised to find that Inuyasha was not there to pick her up. "He's usually here by now...hfm probably still made I went home for a longer period of time, he is such a jerk sometimes I could just..." Kagome's rambling was stopped when she sensed Kikyo's soul collectors and she could make out her barrier in the distance. 'I shouldn't go, I know he's there with her, ahhh...I cant stand it when he does this, he doesn't even realize how it makes me feel. I should leave them be, I'm not going to like what I find if I follow, but what if Kikyo is trying to take him to hell again. I'll never forgive myself if something happened and I wasn't there to help'. Kagome then set off in the direction of Kikyo's barrier.


"Kikyo" Inuyasha whispered as the person he loved came into view.

"Inuyasha you have come" was the only reply she gave as Inuyasha took her in his arms.

"I will always come Kikyo" Inuyasha replied "I love you".

Kagome watched the couple from a distance her eyes shadowed by her bangs as her heart broke with each word Inuyasha spoke. 'I knew he could never love me'.

"Inuyasha" Kikyo whispered lovingly " if you truly cared for me would you give me the one thing I want?"

"anything Kikyo"

"Then come with me to hell, leave this life on earth. COME WITH ME!" Inuyasha's eyes glazed over as Kikyo spoke these words and the portal began to form.

'NO!!' Kagome's mind went frantic as she heard those words 'she can't' the crater was already beginning to form around them. 'I cant let him die, he deserves to live, I have to save him' this was all Kagome thought of as she raced down into the clearing where Inuyasha and Kikyo stood. Without a second thought she put all her strength into pushing Inuyasha and Kikyo out of the portal. The strength she used surprised both herself and Kikyo as Inuyasha was ripped from her grasp and she was thrown from the portal. But when Kagome pushed Inuyasha and Kikyo out of the portal the spell did not stop and she was then trapped in the portal herself.

Kikyo's eyes filled with rage "wench, you will not interfere" but it was too late and Inuyasha had been freed from her hold and was now slowly waking up.

"AAAAHHHHHHHHHH" Kagome could feel her body being pulled into the portal, strands of dark purple energy were all around her grabbing at her limbs and pulling her in. Kagome nearly choked at the powerful amount of miasma surrounding her, causing her to become weak. All she could do was hope Inuyasha could save her as she was being pulled through. "IINNUUYYAASSHHAAAAAAAAAA" was all that was heard before Kagome was completely pulled into the dark abyss leaving the forest clearing looking as it had only moments before. There were only a few changes, a large crater that seemed out of place in the center of the clearing and the disappearance of the young woman who had so often hidden in the trees.

Inuyasha had awoken to the sound of Kagome screaming only to see another woman he cared about being dragged to hell "KAGOMEEEEE" was all he could say as he tried to get to her but it was no use. The portal had closed and he was now digging through the wet dirt of the forest floor. 'Kagome, no.'

Kikyo stared coldly at the crater where her reincarnation had just disappeared, her face remained unmoving as she turned to Inuyasha. "Inuyasha...I will bring you to hell with me, you must not forget your promise to me". Her soul collectors then wrapped around her body and carried her away leaving Inuyasha alone.

"Kagome...I have failed you" Inuyasha could here the voices Sango, Miroku and Shippo coming this way following the screams they must have heard only moments ago. Rising to his feet Inuyasha tried to figure out a way to tell them what had happened.


"Where am I" Kagome slowly tried to open her eyes but it was very difficult, where ever she was it was very dark and she felt extremely weak, her vision began to become clearer and then Kagome began to take in what surrounded her.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"


All right there is my first chapter, would you please let me know what you think. Oh I know this fic really sounds like and Inu/Kag relationship, but it is not (no duh) and the Sess/Kag romance will come in after either the first two or three chapters maybe before, I'm not really sure. Also could someone please tell me why I am getting such low ratings?
