Nightmare come true: Chapter one: Here without you.
Okay, quite a lot of shit happens in this chapter but the rest won't be this fast paced. I really like this story, so I hope you guys do to! READ&REVIEW! And enjoy3 Kagome becomes a Hanyou, and read why!
Kagome P.O.V
I stumble, dropping my sacred arrow and tumbling to the ground as one of Naraku's grimy appendages smack me from behind. A load of soil enters my mouth as I kiss the ground, causing me to cough and gag at the same time as I feel a root of the Sacred Tree digging into my stomach.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha roars, fighting off a tentacle with a dragon scaled Tesseiga.
"I-I'm okay." I stutter, positioning my left hand on the ground to help myself up and then my right but I simply collapse when I put pressure on my right arm. I moan in agony, clutching my arm loosely and sense the tears rimming my cerulean blue eyes.
Sango P.O.V
I circle above Naraku, waiting for the accurate instant to strike when Inuyasha isn't lashing his Wind Scar around like an idiot. One of Naraku's limbs closes in on Inuyasha, gyrating around his waist and heaving him high into the air. Inuyasha thrashes violently in Naraku's hold, screaming curses and trying to slash apart the tentacle with his sharp claws but it is no use because Inuyasha's hands are hopelessly imprisoned in Naraku's slimy grasp. I hastily throw myself off Kirara directly overhead of Naraku and swing my Hiraikotsu effortlessly. I aim for his body, now containing his heart along with Hakudoshi as a young infant and Moryomaru, and watch it fly loose of my sweaty palms.
"Foolish mortal." Naraku chuckles nervously, attempting to deny the fact that the new Hiraikotsu will break through his powerful barrier once again. The newly enhanced weapon made up of powerful Youkai bones is meant to break through any demonic energy. The weapon fluently tears through Naraku's barrier, splitting it apart and cleaving through Naraku's body.
I hear Kagome whimper in pain and Inuyasha cry her name but I know I must finish Naraku here and now. Hiraikotsu smoothly enters my clasp, and I try to give it another go but I am thrown off my feet as something impales me through my back. My whole back aches as Miasma enters my back and fills through my body, causing me to writhe in pain. I flop on the ground, looking like a fish trying to get back to water. Darkness engulfs me, numbing my pain and erasing all my thoughts except one:I want to see Miroku's face, just once more before I die.
Inuyasha P.O.V
I wince at the two unconscious girls on the ground underneath me and I hastily shoot my golden gaze toward Naraku, growling intensely from frustration.
"The hell's your problem, you bastard!"
Naraku keenly licks his pale lips, laughing madly as his flesh molds back together.
"Whatever is wrong Inuyasha? Now you can go run off to that wench of yours without anyone stopping you," Naraku chuckles "Well there is one person, now where is the monk?"
I fidget in Naraku's grip, trying to make him let go of me but it only makes him constrict his appendage tighter around me.
"I wouldn't fucking tell you if my life depended on it!" I hiss, recalling Miroku running off to find Kikyo-Sama to ask her if she knew of an antidote to Miasma because his entire arm was just diseased with the shit.
"Is that the case then, Inuyasha? If so, then I will make you get on your hands and knees and beg for me to save your pathetic life!"
Naraku skewers me through the stomach with his tentacle, making me howl in agony. I clutch my stomach, my hands instantaneously becoming drenched in crimson liquid. He starts to poke and prod me with his razor-sharp tentacle's, creating a ton of little slits of scarlet blood in the shape of half-moons to open all over my body.
"Fuck yo-"I stop, coughing up sticky blood all over my face.
I know I am on my last thread of life before I die, and I also know this is when my demon blood takes over but why isn't it flowing throw my veins like it would usually be when I am near-death? Naraku's tentacle slides from my waist to my left foot, flipping me upside down in the process.
I dangle high up in the air, catching my breath as I await the moment Naraku lets me go and I plummet to the ground. Instead, he smashes me against the Sacred Tree. I hear something crack in my body, knowing that bastard broke something. When I hit the sacred tree, a sizzling noise exploded all over my body and something surged through my veins but it wasn't my demonic energy; it was something new.
I sense power swelling inside of me, coursing through my body and devouring my old power as it flows freely. I feel my strength return to my broken and bruised body, filling me up with adrenaline. I dip my fingertips in the blood of the huge hole in my stomach that is crusted with partially dry blood and whip my claws at him.
"Blades of BLOOD!" I roar as a dozen of crimson blades strike Naraku and he stumbles, slackening his grip so I can free myself with ease. I land on my feet, but as soon as I hit the ground I fall over, stunned.
The power I just felt has now left my body, leaving me as desperate as ever. I crawl on all fours, trying to reach Kagome before Naraku catches me.
"Inuyasha, what happened?" Miroku ponders, running into the fight with Kikyo by his side. I just manage to reach Kagome and pull her head onto my lap, brushing her bangs away from her tear-stained face.
"Naraku, he poisoned Sango and hurt Kagome. I-I never thought I would say this, but I am powerless to stop him right now." I mutter indignantly, giving Kikyo a long glance. Kikyo turns her solemn gaze away from mine to stare at Naraku, glaring daggers at the man. I softly touch Kagome's face, the look of contorted pain ebbing slowly off her sleeping face at the gesture.
Kagome P.O.V
I gradually open my sapphire blue eyes to see honey golden orbs trained on me. Inuyasha's warm hand is lightly cupping my face in such a tender manor that I almost forget the pain I am in. My right arm hangs limply at my side, useless to me. I quickly avert my gaze from Inuyasha to see Sango slumped on the ground, blood spilling out of a wound on her back. Miroku and Kikyo are defending Sango against Naraku, but Kikyo never gets the chance to shoot her arrow because Naraku is continuously knocking it away with his appendages.
I am about to ask Inuyasha for his assistance to stand when I see a thick hole in the center of his chest with blood gushing out. Scarlet liquid covers the area around his lush lips, indicating that he recently coughed up blood.
"Inuyasha, what happened?" I ask, a look of sadness dancing across my face. I gingerly touch his face, searching for any sign of pain in them. I see nothing, except the façade of a boy hiding his pain with a look of fierce determination.
"Stay Inuyasha, you are hurt," I say, leisurely getting up in the procedure of speaking the sentence. "Seriously, get up and I will leave you to return to my time because I cannot bear to see you hurt."
"Keh, these are just scratches wench." Inuyasha snorts resentfully, endeavouring to get up but stops short when his wounds make him collapse to the ground again, dazed.
I don't know what I can do considering I can't use a bow now. At least we have Kikyo and her immense spiritual power or else we would be dead. But it isn't like she can fire a shot without Naraku interfering…
I see Miroku's hand skimming his rosary beads, perceptibly getting ready to use his Wind Tunnel. The Miasma in his arm is almost up to his shoulder, and his Wind Tunnel is almost at its full use; if he uses it anymore, he is surely going to die.
"No Miroku, don't do it! Don't leave Sango without even a goodbye; you don't have to do this!" I yelp, running at Miroku with full force.
Miroku goes to turn to look at me just as I ram into him with full force on my left side, my good side. He crashes to the ground, his rosary beads flying with him, his Wind Tunnel ripping open. I land roughly on top of the monk, gritting my teeth as my right arm twists painfully backward. I roll to the side landing on his toxic filled arm and shove his beads back onto his hand, covering his Wind Tunnel up.
"Foolish Monk!" I shriek in his face harshly.
Miroku winces at my unforgiving tone, while struggling to his knees. I would never forgive Miroku if he left me, Inuyasha and especially Sango. Sango would be devastated if she found Miroku dead.
"I want to protect her Kagome; I would give my life for her any day!" Miroku says devastatingly.
"She wouldn't be able to live life without you Miroku! Why can't you see that she needs you to complete her heart because it's missing all the pieces that broke off when her family died?" I hiss kind of regretting my strict tone. I stand up grudgingly, rotating my gaze from Miroku to Kikyo to see where she went when I realise she is in entombed in one of Naraku's webs. Her bow is discarded on the ground, along with her pack of arrows which are scattered all around Naraku's limbs.
"KIKYO!" Inuyasha wails, still too weak to get up.
I sigh, knowing I must do something to stop Naraku from murdering Inuyasha's love so he can be happy. Isn't that what I want? I want Inuyasha to be happy; I want to see him smile. I can't ever replace Kikyo in his heart; therefor I can never be like Kikyo to him. I must save her; I won't let their love down. Even if I can't properly shoot an arrow, that doesn't mean I can't inject one in him with the same purifying powers. I pick up an arrow at my feet and feel both mine and Kikyo's powers surge through it at the same time. This will work, I promise you Inuyasha."For their love," I murmur quietly, but not silent enough because when I turn to smile at Inuyasha before I run at Naraku, I see his ears twitch slightly. I forget about the painful expression on his face as he sits under the Tree of Ages, the look of lost love filling his eyes. The Hanyou is so confusing that I can never read his agonizing expressions. I nippily shut my eyes and charge my enemy. He doesn't notice I am coming until the very last second when Inuyasha yells my name. Stupid Hanyou, when will he ever learn?
I jump, soaring through the air, and plunge the sharp head of the arrow deep into his dense, bubbly skin. A moan escapes his lips as a light illuminates from the arrow, blinding everyone.
"You won't kill me, fool!" Naraku chuckles lightly, the light vanishing. It didn't kill him? The web disintegrates and Kikyo plummets to the ground, a sharp cry escaping her pale lips. She lands with a hard thud but straightforwardly gets up as if nothing happens. She puts on such a strong façade; it makes me wonder how she does it. A black portal opens up behind Naraku as he slowly try's weave himself back together. He pleas for the frayed parts of his body several times to join back together, but they don't seem to be responding.
"What did you do, wench," Naraku asks with a tone dripping of venom. "Doesn't matter actually, you will pay anyway!"
A tendril of adamant, from Inuyasha's adamant barrahge attack that Naraku stole, shoots toward me in a debauched pace. The stem moves so fast that I have no time to move before it skewers me through my abdominal and comes out through my back. Naraku rips the strand back through my body, creating a whole new wave of pain. My knees buckle and I dive to the ground, pain spreading through my body like a fire about to consume a forest. I feel my blood drain from my body as it all comes out of my stomach, saturating the ground in a pool of blood. I clutch my hand to my wound, distinctively trying to hold my blood in, but the wound is too vast and my hand just sinks into my stomach. Tears stream down my face as I weep the last of my energy out in large drops of water as I watch Naraku disappear through the portal.
Inuyasha P.O.V
I watch as Kagome nose-dives to the ground, her face wrinkling up in distorted agony. Her blood stains the ground around her as her own hand sinks deep into her flesh wound.
"Kagome, no!" I whine painfully, not knowing which damaged girl I should go to.
I could go to Kikyo; the sad, lonely women who held my heart 50 years ago or Kagome; the beautiful hearted girl who showed me how to trust again. I love them both, but Kikyo is a thing of my past; just a bunch of dried up bones and graveyard soil.
I drag myself over to Kagome, trying not to re-open my wound. Miroku has his arm tightly around an un-conscious Sango as he strokes her dead-straight brown hair. He seems totally un-aware of the horrifying wreckage around him, the only thing he wants to see is Sango open her big, brown eyes. I squeeze my hands under Kagome's small frame and tug moderately as I lift her back up a bit so she can look at me.
"Inuyasha," she smiles. "I want you to be happy when I am gone."
Her voice is no more than a weak murmur, and even then it is scratchy and ragged.
"Kagome, I can only be happy if you're here with me! I need you with me Kagome, haven't you comprehended that yet?" I croon, tears streaming down my cheeks. The second time I have cried for this girl… I know I love her.
"I love you Kagome, stay with me please." I plead, caressing her soft face.
Her eyes are large and glassy, and her hairs usual bounce is reduced to a dull, birds nest. Her complexion is a pasty white, as if someone repeatedly brushed white-out on her skin. She is still beautiful to me, no matter what her appearance looks like.
"I always want to hear you say those words Inuyasha… Now I can go to the otherworld knowing that the guy I lov-" Her voice cuts off as her eyes close and her head falls away from his grasp and onto my lap.
My tears drop onto her face, mixing and mingling with her own.
"Why Kagome…Why did you leave me!" I yelp, sobs wracking my body. I shut my eyes, holding Kagome even more constricted then before.
"She still has a pulse," Miroku whispers into my ear, scaring me "But it is only faint."
If she still has a pulse… Then I can still save her! I bite my lip hard, feeling the tangy metallic taste of my own blood lay on my tongue. I just have to bite her and mix my blood with her own, and then she will be alive! But is that what she wants? No one would want to be a pathetic half demon.
Miroku P.O.V
I watch as several emotions play across Inuyasha's face, even something his tears cannot hide. I know he is thinking about giving her his own blood but that would mean turning her into a Hanyou. I never thought about it but I wonder if she will become his mate automatically if he bites her there. Of course she would, that is the mating bite where he claims her as his own. Other demon will call her his bitch but Inuyasha would never ever call Kagome his wench, he knows better.
"If you truly love her Inuyasha, then do it." I murmur raptly, not wanting to see Kagome hurt like this any longer.
I was as Inuyasha trembles with Kagome in his arms as his fangs slowly make their way to Kagome's pale neck. Without hesitation, he hastily bites into her neck, uniting his demon blood with her human blood. She will never be the same after this, many things will change. I plant my staff into the ground alongside me and watch as Inuyasha titles Kagome as his own. A green aura swirls around the couple, spinning and twisting like a tornado. Tiny light blue lights appear, churning around in the large green void; the green is most likely Kagome's human blood, and the blue Inuyasha's demon blood. The azure lights become larger, practically engulfing all of Kagome's blood. Kagome's body leaves Inuyasha's grasp as it floats upward, the blue\green mesh following her.
Inuyasha stares in curiosity as the lights flow inside of Kagome's body and her eyes sharply open. Inuyasha eyes swell with happiness, a look anyone rarely sees on the stubborn Half-demon. Kagome flutters to the ground, her irises blinking in surprise. Her long, black hair now reaches her waist in luscious waves, and her deep blue eyes are now a magnificent shade of yellow. Two fuzzy black ears lay perched on the top of her head, twitching vigorously as she takes in her surroundings carefully.
"W-what has happened to me?" She glares accusingly at Inuyasha, her hands placed lightly on her perfectly defined hips. She is probably about 5'6 now, her legs becoming a great deal longer and sexier.
"I saved you Kagome." He mutters.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME INUYASHA?" She screams, grabbing her ears and tugging them to see if they were real.
"I saved you wench, would you rather have let me leave you in hell?" He wails, knowing it was not an option.
Kagome warily touches her neck, her fingers brushing the two bite marks delicately.
"The mating mark." She murmurs, casting a gaze full of warmth at Inuyasha. She suddenly forgets why she was made at Inuyasha, and pulls Inuyasha into a tight hug.
Kagome P.O.V
I throw myself on Inuyasha, wrapping my arms tightly around his neck and burying my face in the crook of his neck. I inhale his scent, smelling both jasmine and dog at the same time.
"Inuyasha, you saved me." I say with a syrupy tone dripping from my new fangs. Inuyasha returns the embrace, drawing me closer to his well-toned body.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha whispers into my raven-coloured hair. I swiftly thrust him away, my arms twisted tightly in his 'Robe of the Fire Rat" while holding him at arm's length. I gaze desperately into his eyes, letting him know what I want. I gently place my lips on his, as he returns the chaste kiss. I relish in the soft touch of our lips, easily forgetting about all the bad things that are happening on this battle field, and only focusing on Inuyasha and his kind touch.
A couple hours after the fight…
"Hanyou Kagome…" Sango mutters after finally regaining a little bit of her lost strength. Kikyo ended up coming back without a cure but we eventually realized that she can use her purifying powers on both Miroku and Sango to rid them of their Miasma. Sango and Miroku lay on a mat in front of the fire that I created from a small lighter I brought from back home, cuddled in each other's grasp. They came so close to losing each other… but so did me and Inuyasha. I still can't believe I am Hanyou… To be honest, I was just fine with my normal Miko powers but now my abilities have been taken to a whole new level. I don't know if I should forgive Inuyasha, even if he saved my life. Shippou squirms restlessly in my arms, almost falling off my lap as I watch the burning wood being heated by the scorching flames.
"Inuyasha, what are you doing?" Shippou says in a low voice. Where is that persistent Hanyou anyway?
Kikyo was departing soon, saying it would be better to go separate ways. I couldn't agree more but the Hanyou and the Miko left camp a little while ago, I wonder what they are doing.
"NO!" Inuyasha wails from somewhere inside the forest. I quickly get to my feet, questioning what Inuyasha is fussing over now. I look down, the hole in my chest stopping me from creating anymore movement. If I can barely move, Inuyasha and Kikyo must not be too far off because Inuyasha's wound was just as bad. I forgot about the Kitsune, watching him tumble from my grasp. When he hits the ground, he just curls up into an even tighter ball and remains a sleeping mass. I groan heavily as I lose my balance and slump to the ground. What can I do for Inuyasha? He may need my help and I can't even be there for him. I owe him, he saved my life. He and I are now bound by blood, causing us to be mates and also making us destined towards tomorrow. When he dies, I will wither away with him. I could care less about my life because without Inuyasha, I am nothing. I would just be lifeless shell, losing my first and undoubtedly only love. Even if he is with Kikyo doing something, it won't take away my love.
We made our camp at the Sacred Tree, not daring to move any farther because of all our injuries. I distantly clash my fingertips on the tree, remembering when I was just a helpless human girl who ran through the bushes to try to find my way back to the Bone Eaters Well. I found Inuyasha, his face calm from being in such a deep slumber. I am not a helpless girl anymore; I have the power to save Inuyasha.
I seize a cast-off tree branch and use it as my walking stick as I make my way through the forest towards where Inuyasha's voice came from. I rake myself past several trees and bushes before I spot all of Kikyo's soul collectors surrounded two figures. I strain my eyes in the dark, the large thicket hiding the marvelous full moon from reaching past the thick tree branches and illuminating us in light. Why are all of Kikyo's soul collectors nearby the two shadows? More importantly, who are the two figures!? Well that is a no-brainer; it is undoubtedly Kikyo and Inuyasha. I gulp, shimmying closer to catch what they are doing. Inuyasha's hand is cupping the back of Kikyo's head, holding her closely so that their mouths are molded together. Kikyo's arms lay flaccidly at her side, her skin even more paler then usual and her eyes shut firmly. Tears make their way down Kikyo and Inuyasha's face, causing a huge waft of salt to fill my nostrils. Why is he kissing her? Why is she acting so lifeless? I feel anger wrapping its fingers tightly around my body, whereas jealousy is keeping me in a mild caress as if to remind me of all the times me and Inuyasha have kissed. He kissed me like this early but now he is off smooching another girl? I do the only thing that reaches through my frustrated mind.
"Inuyasha, SIT!" I sneer as Kikyo leaves Inuyasha's hold as he forcefully hits the ground. Ah, I love these magical beads that Kaede put on his neck at least a year ago.
"Wench, what is your problem?" Inuyasha seethes, not even daring to look up at me. Some nerve that boy has! He huddles closer to Kikyo's body, picking her up once again.
"My problem is YOU! You go off confessing your love for me and now you are off lip-locking another girl?" I say indignantly, taking a step towards Kikyo and Inuyasha.
INUYASHA P.O.V
Kagome huffily crosses her arms, scowling at me with a fiery distaste. I embrace Kikyo closer to my body, clutching her forcefully as if it is the last thing that connects me to this world.
"Kikyo, I can't be with you anymore. I will always have a love for you but my heart belongs to Kagome." I say bitterly, watching as sadness plays across Kikyo's face.
"Inuyasha, have you forgotten about our several kisses? The special love we shared?" She inquires.
"No, but I just can't love someone I will never be able to be with." Wait, Kagome isn't a second choice. She is by far my first. Just then, Kikyo clutches her shoulder as she drops to the ground. The miasma filled arm.
"I am dying Inuyasha, Farwell my beloved."
She coughs slightly; grey smoke pouring from her mouth. Miasma. That stupid bastard Naraku, taking Kikyo to the grave after so many countless attempts. Fuck you Naraku, why Kikyo? I hold Kikyo in my arms, whispering soothing words to her and kissing her plentiful times.
(A\N: Blow me one last kiss by P!nk…. I made alterations to it, don't be mad.)
White knuckles and sweaty palms from hanging on too tight
Clenched shut jaw, I've got another headache again tonight
Eyes on fire, eyes on fire, and they burn from all the tears
I've been crying, I've been crying, I've been dying over you
Tie a knot in the rope, tryin' to hold, tryin' to hold,
But there's nothing to grasp so I let go
I gasp as Kikyo's soul collectors swarm us, turning Kikyo into a magnificent white light. Kikyo, my heart will always grasp your name. Even though you left me twice, I will never forget you. Ever since the day I was born, you were the first women I ever loved and yet I let that bastard Naraku take you from me. I will avenge you, I swear on my life.
I think I've finally had enough, I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us (blow me one last kiss)
You think I'm just too serious, I think our love should have lasted forever
My head is spinning so (blow me one last kiss)
I was letting you go Kikyo, just when you needed me the most. When I found out you were dead the first time, my heart was in a large grieving stage. I had your reincarnation by my side but not a day went by that I didn't think about you. If I had a rose to give you for every time I thought about you, everywhere you would walk could have been a meadow. You stole my heart 50 years ago… you taught me how to love. When I met Kagome, everything changed. She was born to meet me; I was born to be with her. We were born for each other; she taught me how to trust, how to gain friends. Most importantly, she healed me completely.
Just when it can't get worse, I've had a horrible day
Have you had a horrible day? We've had a horrible day.
I think that life's too short for this, I didn't want you to endure anymore pain,
I don't think I am good enough to protect you, so blow me one last kiss.
With your help, I saved everyone I love and care for. It will be hard to get over you, considering you held my heart for so long, but for your sake I will do it but you will never be forgotten. I didn't want you to sustain anymore sorrow; I wanted to protect you forever. I wasn't able to save you Kikyo, even though I promised you I always would. I broke our promise Kikyo, can you ever forgive me? You were the first to hold me heart, the first to open up life for me. For that, I thank you Kikyo.
I will miss you, even every fight we got into.
Take it in, I mean what I say when I say there is nothing left
You'll be calling a trick, 'cause you'll no longer sleep
I will be sad, I'll be in despair, but I am not the only one with the corrupt heart anymore.
Kagome, I want to know how you feel. I can't withstand you not talking to me after witnessing what you did. Both of these girls, once my Kikyo, now my Kagome; have lost my trust. I am sorry.
Forever in my heart you shall stay Kikyo, find your peace in the other world Kikyo\3.
I teared up writing this and I absolutely hate Kikyo… I changed a couple of the song lines to match this and I know they don't go together but whatever… I know Inuyasha is all sappy over Kikyo but this is what he probably thought in his mind. He loved her, he loves Kagome. There is a difference and even though he acts like he loves her in this chapter, he doesn't. Read and Review for more chapters.
