"So
Kagome, you've decided to leave that mutt-face and come back to me
huh?" Koga smirked as he took Kagome's hands in his. "Inuyasha,
how did you find me?" a woman asked as she slipped down out of a
tree she had been resting in. "Miroku, Kagome and Inuyasha are back!"
Sango called from Kaede's hut. "Naraku. How do you plan on hiding
yourself? You can't make a barrier...and you have an enormous
scent to follow, those brats will be here any minute and rip you
apart." Kagura asked as she sat at the mouth of a cave. Naraku
sat at the back and smirked.
"Grrr"
Inuyasha growled as he sat up against the wall inside Koga's cave.
"Um, not exactly. I need a favor of you Koga."
"What
ever you need ill do it."
"I need you to give me your
Jewel shards. Otherwise Naraku will try and take them, and i don't
want to see you get killed Koga!" Kagome said sweetly. She
looked into his deep brown eyes and he stared back at her. He put his
hands on her shoulders and then brought her close to him.
Inuyasha
glared at him. Koga only stuck his tongue out at Inuyasha. Kagome
hugged Koga back.
Koga let out a long sigh. "Fine, here
Kagome, I'd rather you have them more than Naraku. I need to go out
for a while so see ya later Kagome, see ya Mutt."
"Bye
Koga!" Kagome called after him. Inuyasha stood up and went over
to Kagome. She looked down at the shards in her hand. She placed them
in her small jar container and took Inuyasha's hand.
"Come
on Inuyasha! Let's go find Sango and the others; if we're going to
destroy Naraku, we're going to need their help."
"Right,
but could you give me some alone time for a little while, I need to
do some thinking..."
Kagome looked confused over at him but
nodded in approval. Inuyasha jumped out of the cave and headed for
the forest.
"Hm...I'm going to follow him..." Kagome
whispered as she ban running after him.
"I smelled your scent a ways
back...I wanted to make sure you were okay Kikyo."
Kikyo
smirked and hugged Inuyasha. Kagome gasped as she jumped behind a
tree and watched.
"Inuyasha, Will you come with me to the
depts. of hell, and live with me?" Kikyo asked smiling as he
held her in his arms.
"What about Kagome?" He asked
Kikyo let out a sigh of annoyance. "Why do you bring that
abomination in between us Inuyasha? You only like her because she
resembles me!" Kikyo said sternly and in a cruel voice. Kagome's
mouth opened and her eyes filed with tears. Inuyasha sniffed the air,
he could smell Kagome's tears.
"What is it?" Kikyo
asked him.
"Huh? Oh um nothing. He looked over to where the
scent was coming from. He could see Kagome's brown shoes poking out
from behind the tree.
"Kikyo...I...I can't go to
hell with you...I made a promise to Kagome that i will protect her
with my life, and if i died, i couldn't fulfill my promise. And
you're wrong. I don't just love Kagome because she looks like
you, actually, i hate that she looks like you! I love her because she
loves me for who i am. She doesn't want me to become a human, or a
demon, she loves me as a half-demon, unlike you Kikyo. You wanted me
to become human just so you could become a normal human again."
Inuyasha was knocked backwards by one of Kikyo's soul-collectors. She
raised her hand and Inuyasha floated up off the ground. He was
unconscious. She threw him up against a tree and pulled out an arrow.
Kagome jumped out from behind the tree and aimed her arrow at Kikyo.
"I won't let you hurt Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled as she
released the arrow. It hit Kikyo right in her heart and she fell down
in pain. The blue orbs flew out of Kikyo.
"Thank you Kagome,
you've freed my soul, please take care of him for me..." Kikyo
said before she completely vanished. He soul collectors shriveled up
and vanished along with her. Kagome ran over to Inuyasha and held him
in her arms.
"Thank you Inuyasha..." She whispered into
his ear as she held him. His eyes slowly opened and he embraced
Kagome.
"Is she...is she..." he stuttered
"I'm
sorry Inuyasha! She was going to kill you...i had no choice, but
she" Inuyasha cut her off by kissing her gently.
"Yes,
Kagome, you did have a choice..."
"Inuyasha I..."
"And
you made the right one." Tears streamed down her face as she
hugged him.
Miroku walked into the hut and
hugged Kagome. Shippo jumped into Kagome's arms and hugged her.
"We
we're only gone for 2 days you guys. Not a year." Kagome
giggled. She sat down next to the fire pit and Inuyasha sat next to
her and leaned against the wall behind him.
"So...Inuyasha...are
you up to looking for Naraku again?"
"Course i am."
he smirked
'Yes, and i'm staying in this era until Naraku is
defeated and the jewel is completed and destroyed." Kagome
added. She held the huge piece of the jewel they had collected in her
hand and rubbed it. It shined its pink bright shine and everyone
stared amazed at Kagome's spiritual powers.
"What?" She
asked them as she looked around at everyone staring at her.
"Ye's
spiritual powers have grown stronger Kagome. You will soon be able to
fuse the rest of the Shikon Shards together, like ye did once
before." Kaede said as she stirred a pot of stew.
Kagome
smiled and sighed.
"No need to worry Kagura, that's
where you come in. All you need to do is hurt that Kagome and
Inuyasha will be open pray." Kagura gasped and closed her
eyes.
