Love Risk Chapter 1.
First story ever! I hope you like it!
It was just a normal morning in the forest, just like any other. As usual Inuyasha, the first to wake up, was sitting against a tree, Tetsuaiga at his side. Miroku, stirring in his sleep, would be next, like always. Next would be Sango and Kirara, who were sound asleep cuddling together. Kagome was sleeping peacefully in her sleeping bag, dreaming about how she passed her latest history test and everyone looked up to her, with Shippo out cold in her arms. This is what Inuyasha saw every morning and he wished they would wake up already and get going.
'Damn Naraku is getting more jewel shards and getting stronger by the minute! I can't stay here all day! Why can't they hurry the hell up and wake up! 'Inuyasha thought. Just then Inuyasha got a whiff of familiar scent, something, or someone, he hasn't smelt in a while.
'Kikyo' Inuyasha thought, finally matching the scent with the person, then took off. Unknown to him but someone saw Inuyasha leaving, because he saw the soul collectors flying in the trees when he awoke. He glanced over at the girl in the sleeping bag and Miroku's heart broke a little more for Kagome and the heart ache that was going to come.
Inuyasha rushed through the trees as the early morning air nipped at his skin. He slowly came to a stop when he entered a clearing and laid his eyes on the woman he fell in love with fifty years ago. She was sitting against a tree with her raven hair untied. To him, she was perfect, even after all the things she did; she was and always would be his Kikyo.
"Kikyo," he gently called out. Slowly she opened her eyes to see the sight of the sun shining on him. She smiled weakly at him, still recovering her injuries from Naraku's miasma.
"Inuyasha what are you doing here?" she asked him, already knowing the answer.
"I picked up on your scent and saw your soul collectors on the way here. How are you doing Kikyo?" He asked in a calm voice as he walked towards her.
"Not well, I am still weak from the miasma. I fear it may cause trouble for me…" Kikyo said as she leaned against the tree she was resting on. His heart broke for her, knowing he couldn't do much because if he ever even thought about bringing Kikyo along with them and their journeys, Kagome would surely 'sit' him until he fell into hell.
"Is there anything I can do?" She grinned at his question and nodded.
"Could you stay with me for just a while?"
All awake, there was an eerie silence over the group. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were all sitting together, with Kirara on Sango's lap, watching the tense fifteen year old.
"Poor Kagome… That stupid Inuyasha! Why can't he see how much it hurts Kagome when he leaves her for Kikyo?" Shippo asked as he watched the closet person he had to a mother sulk. He never really liked Kikyo, every time he saw her she tried to kill Kagome or steal the jewel shards from them. Inuyasha says he loves her, and Kikyo says she loves him. But if she loved him like she said she did, would she really do things like this? But because of his age he supposed he wouldn't understand for a while.
"I don't know Shippo but that's not our biggest problem. There's a huge demonic aura that's getting closer by the minute." Miroku said as he watched the sky warily. But Sango wasn't concerned about the demonic aura; she was more worried about Kagome as she watched the closest thing to family, closest thing she had to a sister, suffer from heartache.
Out of no where, with a clash of lighting and thunder, appeared Naraku with his poisonous insects. They all jumped to their feet. Kagome ran to her bow and arrows, Sango fetched her weapon and got in a defensive stance, Kirara transformed, and Miroku got his sacred sutras out.
"I see Inuyasha is not here. Gone to see his former lover I suppose? With that thought, how are you today Kagome?" Naraku said and sent her a smirk when he saw her flinch. "How sad, he will miss the show." Naraku said with an evil laugh. Miroku and Shippo were working together to get rid of the sanyosho, while Sango, Kirara, and Kagome were fighting against Naraku.
In the next moment it seemed everything was happening in slow motion to the group, but couldn't last long enough for Naraku. One of his tentacles sped towards Kagome, going unnoticed by the young girl, and pierced her through her chest. The group's eyes were as big as the moon when they saw the root in her chest with blood pouring out. With the last willing breath Kagome had, she let out a blood curdling scream that rang through the entire forest.
Inuyasha and Kikyo were talking, never taking their eyes off one another, were still in the middle of the forest. The only thing that broke their eyes off each other was a scream that probably rang through half the land.
"What was that?" Inuyasha asked, trying to figure out where and who the sound came from.
"I am not sure, but it has nothing to do with us, we should just ignore it." Kikyo said, but she didn't realize she was talking to herself.
'Wait, I know that voice-Oh No!' Inuyasha thought frantically as he ran back to their campsite as fast as his legs could carry him, completely forgetting about Kikyo for the moment. When he got there he would forever be traumatized by what he witnessed.
"KAGOME!"
I combined chapter one and two because I didn't like how short they were so enjoy!
The evil laugh, the laugh they all learned to memorize, now rang in their ears. Naraku pulled his roots out of Kagome's chest and disappeared in a mist of miasma. As he did, Kagome was falling to the ground with blood leaking out of her wound. With incredible speed, that he didn't know he had, Inuyasha was at her side in seconds before she could collapse to the ground.
"Kagome!" Sango and Miroku yelled as they ran to their hurt friend.
"Kagome please be ok! Don't go, don't leave us! Mommy please don't leave me again!" Shippo shouted as he jumped on her stomach, hugging her tightly.
"Inuyasha we have to get her to Kaede's village, so she can be healed, before it's too late." Miroku said as he tried to stay calm for everyone else's sake. Getting worried, he knew, wouldn't solve anything…Although if there was any a good time to panic, this would definitely be it.
"Right, meet me there; I'm going to get a head start." Inuyasha yelled as he took Kagome and ran off to the village with lightning speed.
"Come on Kirara, we have to follow Inuyasha to the village." Sango commanded her two-tailed demon cat. As soon as everyone got on her back she took off and followed the dog demon, not needing any orders as to the ware bouts of the current situation.
Inuyasha raced through the forest and back to the hut where, hopefully, Kaede could help her. Right now Kagome was in slipping in and out of consciousness and bleeding badly.
'Dammit! Kagome is going to die if I don't hurry!' Inuyasha thought to himself and willed himself to go faster, but failed to realize that he was only a minute away from the village.
When he set foot on the village grounds, he quickly made his way to Kaede's hut. Once he got sight of it, he released a breath and started to get a glimmer of hope.
"Old woman, you have to help me, help her!" Inuyasha yelled as he entered the small hut, ripping off the reed flap.
Kaede looked up startled by the unexpected shout. She looked at Inuyasha then to the bleeding girls in his arms. She gasped as she stood up. "Put her down here, I will do everything that I can." She said as she grabbed herbs and sutras to heal the young girl. She quietly began her task and started chanting when more people burst through the door to the hut.
"Kagome!" Shippo yelled as he and Kirara came in, Sango and Miroku not too far behind.
"No Shippo, don't get in the old woman's way, or we could endanger Kagome. I think we should all wait outside." Inuyasha said sternly as he pushed the hanging reed flap out of his way. Shippo and Sango looked at him shocked, thinking he would want to stay the most, but obeyed him nonetheless, leaving just Miroku and Kaede to work on the girl.
Inuyasha, the last one to leave the hut. He gave Kagome one last glance before turning away and with a broken heart whispered:
"I'm sorry, Kagome."
