couldn't answer. She just lay with him, mute." Kagome! "he said, sufferingly. A single silent tear made its way. He had recognized what he always knew. She was the most important person in his life. And now that he finally understood it, it was too late." Kagome ... ", he whispered again. A weeping Sango came into the hut, followed by the others." How ... is she? "she asked." I don't know!"said Inuyasha. They all sat down." How could that happen? ", Sango asked," how could we not have noticed? "" Sango, it was a magic of the intermediate world. YOU yourself know best that there is almost nothing stronger than this power. We can only pray that we will find a cure soon. We have to go back to Kaede immediately tomorrow! "said Miroku." Yes, that's why Kikyo wanted to leave so quickly. Kaede would probably have noticed it first as miko! "said Shippo. Sango sobbed again." In the end, Naraku is to blame for everything! "said Miroku." No, it's Kikyo's fault! "Inuyasha said suddenly. Everyone stared at him." What? "Miroku asked." Kikyo is to blame for everything. Naraku never forced it, did it? To deceive us like that. I still can't believe it! How could she do it? "he asked." You heard it! ", Sango said bitterly." Yes ... I will never forgive her! "said Inuyasha." Kagome, did you hear? Inuyasha cares about you!YOU have to wake up very quickly so that he looks happy again! "said Shippo to Kagome." What's that supposed to mean? ", Inuyasha asked." When she sleeps, she can hear us too! Kagome once told me that when the people of their era are hurt, they sleep sooooo long, and when you wake up you can always remember almost everything that was said in that time! "Shippo explained." Yes! You call that ... komas? "Sango said and Shippo nodded vigorously." Anyway, as soon as I'm demonic again, we'll go back immediately. Kaede will already know what to do! "said Inuyasha." Oh no! ", Miroku said suddenly." What is it? ", Sango asked." Naraku now knows when Inuyasha will become a person! "he said. Inuyasha didn't seem to care, just stared down at Kagome's resting face." Inuyasha! Have you heard? ", Sango asked." OF COURSE! But right now, Kagome is more important than anything else! ", he said. Everyone agreed and soon everyone was asleep. Almost.Inuyasha had stayed awake again to guard Kagome. He caressed her cheek, which was freezing cold. His hand trembled terribly, he was so afraid for her. And at some point, around four in the morning, Inuyasha fell into a restless sleep too. He dreamed of Kikyo and Kagome fighting each other for him. Suddenly Kikyo was gone and Kagome fell into a huge ravine. Inuyasha just caught her hand, but he couldn't hold it, Kagome fell down. He woke up drenched in sweat. He was breathing heavily and looked at Kagome. "She's still there!" he said, relieved. He was alone in the hut and a hanyou again. That's when Shippo came in. "Oh! You're awake! Come on, we've caught fish!" He said in his squeaky voice. "yes, I'll be right there!" he said and Shippo went out. He got up gently and lifted Kagome off the floor. "I won't leave you alone anymore, I promise!" He said and went out. "Inuyasha! Why are you taking Kagome with you?", asked Miroku." I won't leave her alone anymore! ", he said, and sat down." Here, your fish! ", Sango said, handing him his food. He swallowed it quickly and said," Go! Kaede! ". The others, who had already eaten, got up with him and they set off. Inuyasha had Kagome on his back. He could only smell her scent faintly. There was this smell much more. Of Kikyo! He He hated that smell now. Over and over again he wondered how she could do it to him. Him or Kagome? Wasn't it much worse for Kagome to be caught in this dire situation? He blamed himself for this disaster. If he hadn't insulted her, she wouldn't have stormed out. How would he like to talk to her now? He should always be there for her ... would have, would, should. It wouldn't do him anything. It should take two days, again to arrive at Kaede's. And he hadn't let her out of his sight for a minute.Part four

"I beg your pardon?" Asked Kaede, totally amazed, when Shippo told her the whole story. "Again? Kikyo has Kagome cast out her mind and brought the body under her control. She played Kagome for five days and then Kagome fell asleep! And we don't know how she wakes up again!" said Shippo. "I ... maybe this would be possible: There is a blue rose, it grows in the mountains, it could grow up. But the magic of the intermediate world is dark and complex. As far as I know, this rose can only free people from evil magic. It would be one try she said. "I'll get her," Inuyasha said immediately. "How did you imagine that? You don't want to leave Kagome alone and you can't take her with you on such a trip. It's enough if Sango and I go with kirara and Shippo!" said Miroku. "but ... I want to help her too!" he said. "Inuyasha! YOU help her more if you stay with her! She needs your closeness now.", Sango said."yes, you are right, Inuyasha!" said the old miko too. "Okay, but hurry up, do you understand?" Inuyasha asked and Sango and Miroku mounted kirara. "Yes, we'll be back soon, take care of Kagome!" Said Miroku. "Rely on me!"; said Inuyasha. They nodded to each other and after a brief description of the route from Kaede, they flew away. "Inuyasha! I'll give you a hut for you alone!", Kaede said and Inuyasha nodded thanks. They walked a little and found an uninhabited hut. "I have to go now, home call!", She said and disappeared. Inuyasha sat on the floor and put kagome's torso back on his knees. He stroked her cheek again. "Kagome? Do you really hear me? If so, please wake up again quickly. I can't stand watching you suffer like that! You know ... I will no longer cling to Kikyo. I have decided against her. I don't understand." how the heart of a once so pure miko could turn so black!It really oozes full of hatred! I can not believe it. And I'm so sorry I didn't see anything. You know, I ... was very happy to be touched. But then it got too much. I find a rare touch much nicer and more intense. And then I somehow noticed that something was wrong. But I couldn't really say: 'You are not Kagome'. And what I said, friendlier and so, I hope you're not angry with me. She could only play well. Because Kikyo was never like that. Not that you think I want you to be like her. I know you and sometimes your thoughts too! You must have done that, right? Yes. Certainly. "He said and he had to grin at these words. He stayed with her the whole time, spoke to her and looked after her. He stroked her cheeks and her hair. He gently watched over her, day and night. Sometimes Kaede came by and brought him something to eat.
