Never Again: Chapter one
Chapter 1: Choice
me: -sighs- so much for our fanfic, eh Kikyo?
Kikyo: hehehe. It was a good idea, though...
me: true, true... anyways here's a new fanfic...it's a kinda weird plot, but I think it works.
Kikyo: she hasn't even told ME what its about, so I cant tell you anything... I have no clue...
me: lol, yeah. Anyways, this fic is dedicated to Luna-chan and Ayame-chan, who always read my fanfics thanks you guys!
Kikyo: please R&R! ((or ill hurt you...))
"KIKYO!"
The scream sliced through the tense air, cutting through the long silence of the dark night. Higurashi Kagome, a fifteen year-old Japanese girl, stood at the edge of the forest, not willing to let her eyes believe what she was seeing...
A girl that looked quite similar to Kagome, with long black waves of cascading hair complementing her thin shoulders, stood next to a white haired hanyou, her pale hand gripping his wrist. Pulling him down into the brown earth. Taking him to hell. Kagome stared at the girl, still in a state of disbelief.
"Kikyo..." Kagome said her name quietly this time. "You love him...don't do this..."
The girl flinched slightly, but continued to grip InuYasha's arm. InuYasha was in a comatose state now, his eyes halfway open and his head limp on one shoulder. His usually vibrant and angry golden eyes were now listless. He wouldn't know what happened until it was too late. Kagome glared at Kikyo, the anger radiating from her whole body. She picked up an arrow and skillfully fit it into the bow she carried.
"Let him go or I'll shoot," Kagome threatened, hoping Kikyo wouldn't sense the fear she felt. The dead miko laughed, a low, cold sound Kagome had heard so many times. How she feared that laugh...
"Hit me? You forget...I am you!" Kikyo laughed some more, her frail body shaking slightly. InuYasha was dragged farther down, his red kimono becoming brown with the earth. Small tears formed at the edge of Kagome's eyes, but she refused to shed them.
No. She would not give Kikyo the satisfaction of seeing her cry.
Kagome drew back the bow, aiming for her chest. Kikyo watched with morbid amusement, as though it were an amateur show, rather than a life and death matter.
If this girl hits me, I'll die of shock... Kikyo thought wickedly. There was no way a spoiled, future girl of fifteen would kill a great priestess. For god's sake! This was the girl that split the Shikon no Tama. This girl was the reason that InuYasha had obtained all those battle wounds. This girl had brought so much destruction to an era that wasn't even her own.
Kagome pulled the string tighter, almost ready to let the arrow fly. She blew some dark hair out of her eyes, and adjusted her aim. All that was left to do was shoot. Kagome narrowed her eyes, willing herself to let go of the arrow. This was it! Kikyo would finally be gone from their lives, after all this time. No one cared about her, not even Kaede, her own little sister...
No one, except InuYasha.
Damn it... Kagome thought angrily. Once again, I'm putting his feelings before my own. This woman has done nothing for me, except bring me unhappiness. I'm not going to walk away this time! I have had enough of people walking all over me!!
Kagome's hand shook violently. She had no idea what to do... Shooting Kikyo would open up new problems. And that was assuming that she actually could hit her. Kagome wasn't exactly known for her accuracy with the bow.
A sudden moan snapped her out of her thoughts. InuYasha's eyes were filled with pain; he was now more than halfway gone. Kagome's eyes widened as she saw Kikyo's expression of excitement.
Only a monster would do something like this... someone with no regard to others, someone without feeling...Does that mean I'm the reincarnation of a monster?
"Kikyo!" Kagome shouted, a sudden surge of energy in her voice. "I am nothing like you!"
And then she let the arrow fly.
me: yup. That's chapter one.
Kikyo: ...did you kill me?
me: I'm not sayin'...sorry Kikyo-chan. Anyways, this fanfic is gonna be up til its finished. Basically, I don't give a damn if you pplz don't like it. But please, please read and review! Tell me if you think it sucks, I won't hold it against you.
Kikyo:...yeah she will. But seriously, take the extra TWO minutes it takes to review a story.
me: lol, yeah. And just to tell you guys, I'm nearing the end of my school year, so we're getting a load of projects. So if I don't update for a bit, don't freak, im not dead. just doing crappy homework. And with that said...
Me & Kikyo: READ AND REVIEW!!!
