A/N: Finally, its been updated. I've been concentrating on Faded, which I finished, and other ideas kept popping up. I also really didn't have any motivation to update this. I still really don't, but hey...I've kept you guys waiting long enough, ne?

Remember Me, Jimmy Kudo

Chapter 22: Saving Rachel, Part 2

Previously...

"I thought I killed that damn half-breed!" Yori cursed. "How the hell is he still alive?"

The human he had locked up escaped as well, he noticed. Ah, well. He would get rid of them all soon enough.

'Where am I...?' a female voice could be heard in the darkness. 'It's so dark...I can't see a thing. Jimmy...'

"Do you think you can do it again, Kagome? For Rachel?"

She was startled. Who was that, and how did they know her name? Why couldn't she see them?

"I...I could try, I don't know what kind of shot I'd be this time, though."

That sounded like Kagome.

"Keh, even I can see you're getting better."

That was...Inuyasha...

Why didn't she see or hear Jimmy? Where was he? Where was she? She was scared.

"Jimmy, please help me!"

Everyone was looking around for any sign of Kanna. She had disappeared the second she had Rachel's soul, her body now lying on the ground as though she'd been killed. There was a possibility of getting her back, but it was low.

Kagome would do it. For Rachel. She didn't want Jimmy to be without his best friend, and possibly the girl who had his heart. Sure, they'd kissed...and he said...he loved her, but she'd been gone for years. He couldn't possibly...

"Lady Kagome?" Miroku asked, startling her a bit. "Are you alright?"

"Oh...yes, I'm fine, Miroku."

She wasn't, though. Sango easily saw through all that. Jimmy was quiet too she noticed. Glancing back and forth between them, she blinked.

They couldn't be...

"Well, well," a familiar voice, familiar at least to Kagome and Jimmy, spoke up as Yori walked outside. Jimmy stepped in front of Kagome while Miroku and Sango stepped in front of him, weapons at the ready. "What a pity. It seems that one of your friends has died." He said, walking over to Rachel. He knew full well that she wasn't, but he said that just to see what they'd do.

"Don't you go anywhere near her!" Jimmy shouted, hands clenching into small fists.

That was when Kanna appeared beside him, her white dress blowing in the wind. He glanced at the white mirror and his eyes widened.

Rachel's face was staring right back at him.

"If you want her back..." Yori began. "You know what to do."

Kagome blinked. She's actually going to let me shoot..? she thought. She hadn't disappeared yet. Taking this as her chance, she stepped out in front of everyone, and aimed an arrow for Kanna's mirror.

Then, she disappeared.

"No!" Jimmy shouted.

"Look there, on the roof!" Miroku pointed to the very top of Naraku's castle, and there indeed stood Kanna.

'Jimmy...'

'Foolish girl, his heart belongs to another.'

'No...'

Kagome fired the arrow. She disappeared, and it missed.

"You can do a lot better than that, little priestess," Yori smirked. Inuyasha growled.

"Dammit, why I don't I just rip you to shreds right now?"

"Calm down, InuYasha," Miroku placed a hand on the hanyou's shoulder. "Don't get hasty."

"Keh."

Kanna reappeared, this time in front of the entrance. She shot another arrow.

Another miss.

'I only have one arrow left! She's just toying with me!'

"Lady Kagome, behind you!"

Kagome jumped, startled, and turned around only to face Kanna a short distance away. Aiming the arrow, she fired.

....It went through.

Everyone's eyes widened as the mirror started to glow, then crack as it broke. Souls came flying out of it, as white balls of light.

One of them flew into Rachel

"Rachel!" Jimmy immediately ran over to his fallen childhood friend, kneeling down and gently picking up her head in his hand.

Kanna looked at her mirror once, then vanished as Rachel's eyes slowly opened.

"Jimmy..."

A/N: Bahhh....not much, but....review?
