.:Part Ten:.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Kagura gasped out, she backed up and watched as Siyo fell onto Lucifer's back. She placed a hand on her chest, forgetting she had no heart, and breathed. "You... you killed him..." She said relieved.
"Hmm..." Sesshomaru said staring down at the boy who had been sliced in half by Sesshomaru's sword.
Kagura ran over to his side and stepped away from the miasma that began to spill out of Siyo's body.
"So it has ended here." She said softly.
The boy's eyes were lifeless now and he no longer breathed. Kagura swallowed and fell to her knees, My mind is free to say what it wishes now..
"If I'm correct, you were the one who helped him with this plot, am I right?" Sesshomaru asked setting Kagome down on Lucifer's back.
"I had no intention to but if I didn't, Naraku would have killed me." She said lowering her eyes.
"Now then, to settle a score with that halfbreed." He said, ignoring Kagura's reply.
He jumped from Lucifer's back and glided down to the clear ground floor, everyone else was already out from their dreams and were finally standing. But Kikyo was still recovering and was still parolized.
Kagura ignored the thought of Kagome lying there but then later spotted out the cat that hang around with them flying about. The wind demon groaned and scooted over to Kagome and was ready to push her off onto the cat's back once she flies by.
"What are you doing.. Kagura?" She asked, her thoughts were still recovering from the miasma and the cuts too.
"Ready to get rid of you so I can leave." She answered.
Once Kirara came by, Kagura shoved Kagome onto Kirara's back and turned away then sighed.
.:Early Morning:.
Inuyasha was so busy fighting off Sesshomaru he had forgotten Kikyo and Kagome. Then once again, Sesshomaru was beating his brother to death but then Inuyasha would always fight back in the end.
"Ah! Sesshomaru!" He cried out, pushing his brother backwards with his tessaiga.
"Hah! You can't even kill me with the sword and you still think you're powerful enough to kill me?" He taunted, dodging every attack Inuyasha put against him.
Sango and Miroku were tending to Kagome while the two fought deadly, they were shocked to find miasma in both Kagome and Kikyo's wounds. Miroku blinked, "I'll tend to Kagome's wounds while you deal with Kikyo." He said.
"As if!" Sango said with a firing expression around her. "Heh heh heh.." Miroku chuckled nervously.
"San-go.. Where-is-Inu-yasha?" She asked slowly, her body and eyes still parolyzed. Sango and Miroku turned to her then frowned, "He's a bit busy right now." Sango answered.
"... Is he alright?" She asked weakly.
"Pretty much!" She replied.
Kagome swallowed, "I can't see anything..." She said softly. Miroku pushed Sango aside for a moment to look at Kagome, she looked a bit pupiless, he frowned. "The miasma is still inside you. Probably because you were so terrified from your dream. It took me awhile to realize it was just a nightmare. The dreams were our fears, did you give into the dream, Kagome?" He asked turning to her.
Inside, she was smiling, but in the outside she was crying. "Yeah.." She answered softly.
The two did not ask anymore questions and neither did Kagome, she didn't want to talk about it. So they began to use Sango's supplies to remove the miasma and calm Kagome down. Most of it worked but her heart didn't stop pounding from the scare.
Her sight began to clear instanly though and when she was finally able to blink, she found herself in a clear beautiful forest Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were destroying at the very moment.
She sat up and felt her head, "Ugh.." She groaned annoyed, she turned to the two blood brother and clenched her fists. She picked up her bow and arrow suddenly.
"Would you two stop that already?!" She cried out, aiming her arrow at a tree where the two began heading. They continued. "I said stop!" She ordered shooting the arrow out, the arrow made Sesshomaru and Inuyasha stop immediatly when it split the two up from each other.
They darted their eyes at her, then Sesshomaru grunted and tucked his sword back. "This ends it right here, little brother." Sesshomaru said flipping his hair back with his hand. "Hey I'm not through with you!" Inuyasha growled.
Sesshomaru looked over his shoulder to Inuyasha quickly, "I said it ends here." He snapped.
Inuyasha backed away nervously.
Sesshomaru disappeared quickly into the darkness and was no longer in sight. Inuyasha clenched his fists, "Kagome! Why'd you have to go and do that?! I was--" He seen the beautiful girl standing there in her priestess outfit still holding her arrow. She looked like Kikyo right there.
"I'm sick of it." She said in a cold voice.
"What?" He asked.
"I'm tired of you doing this to me... but I'm trying to learn how to deal with it..." She said, thinking about the times Inuyasha and Kikyo spent with each other.
"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha asked blinking.
"...Nevermind.." She answered.
Inuyasha began walking toward her but she screamed out and pulled away when he touched her, she placed her hands over her head and knelt down shaking. Sango and Miroku quickly ran toward her, "Kagome! You alright?" Sango asked.
Kagome went to Sango and cuddled close and sobbed. Inuyasha stood there confused, "..."
Miroku stood up and faced his friend, "I think you should stay away from her for awhile.." He said with Shippo sitting on his shoulder. The little fox demon kept his mouth closed and lowered his eyes.
The dog demon backed away, "What did I do?" He asked.
"Kagome needs to settle down a bit before she could see you.. Sorry.." He said sadly. The demon's ears lowered then perked upward when he heard Kikyo stir. The priestess had already healed. "Kikyo.."
It's only a matter of time before you kill me. Kagome thought darkly, staring up at Inuyasha with shadow like eyes that could frighten any of her friends.
Then that's when Kagome slid under Sango's arm in quick speed and reached after her bow and arrow then sat in a position any priestess could do when saving a life of another. "That's why I'm to kill you first!!" Kagome screamed out, aiming the arrow the way Kikyo did once before shooting Inuyasha. The dog demon turned around and was about hit when he moved away.
"Kagome!" He cried out, his voice cracking.
Quickly he rolled over when she shot her second arrow then reached for her and pushed her to the ground with fangs exposed to her. Frightening her to death. Kikyo watched, her body was still parolyized and she was not able to do anything to save Inuyasha or Kagome.
Inuyasha pinned Kagome to the ground, "What do you think you're doing?" He asked in suprise, ignoring the position they were in. Kagome grunted and stared up at him in anger. "What do you think you're doing?!" She asked, kicking him in his sensative spot and jumping backwards, grabbing her bow and arrows quickly.
"Dammit Kagome!" Inuyasha struggled, he staggered a bit and dodged her next attack on him.
Then came a dark shard glowing in her throat, it glowed pure black and only Kikyo could see it. She tried to speak but something was blocking her voice, it was the copy of the shard.
"I'd kill you if I wanted. But let me leave you a gift, Kikyo."
It was the words he spoke to her before she found out he died..
"Kagome stop this!" He begged, jumping at her but forgotten he was fighting Kagome here. He had planned to punch her but missed when he realized that fact. Luckily she dodged his attacks and ended up using her sacred attack on him, pushing him backwards onto the dirt floor.
"If you plan on killing me, then at least learn to fight halfdemon!" She screamed out shooting her sacred arrow.
Halfdemon? He gasped in thought.
It reminded him of the time when Kikyo was alive when Naraku desguised himself as Kikyo, calling him a halfdemon. It angered the dog demon so much he quickly pulled out his tessuiga then paused.
Kagome... kagome...
He put the sword away, her name echoed in his head like crazy, he dodged her attacks and tried his best not to hurt her. Kagome was being controlled somehow and he didn't think about it. He was stuck fighting her off. Inside Kagome, a spark of darkness glowed within her, she couldn't remember anything at the moment and she forgot about her friends and everything! What was going on and why did she feel this way?
A pit of darkness. Laughter. A familiar laughter.. who was it?
