-111: Lies, places, and a good surprise

"Show yourself," Kikyo said glaring into the darkness.

A smirking girl with blood all over her chest stepped out. "Kikyo, nice to see you."

"Kagome…! What happened?'' Kikyo asked, taking a step forward.

Kagome smirked, saying only one word: "Kouga.''

"Kouga!?'' Kikyo gasped, biting her lip nervously. "Why aren't you dead? I mean, your wound looks close to your heart."

Kagome snorted. "I don't know. Inuyasha's in there ain't he?''

Kikyo smiled cruelly. "Yeah. We're going on a date. He's actually thinking of taking me back."

Kagome's chest throbbed, but she pushed the pain aside. That witch was lying. "I don't believe you.''

"Believe me. I love him. He loves me. You'll never have him again Kagome…." She walked closer. "He's mine.''

"He loves me."

"You're right he does love you. But tonight, when I have him in bed, those feelings will change. He loves me."

Kagome smiled. "If he really loved you, you wouldn't have to get him extremely drunk for him to sleep with you."

"That is not what I'm doing. He loves me."

Kagome's smile only grew. "Keep telling yourself that."

Kikyo screamed in anger, before charging at her. Kagome backed away. Kikyo ran after her and hit her in the chest.

All she could feel was pain coursing through her. The wound re-opened, causing blood to gush out as she hit the ground.

-------

What's taking her so damn long?, Inuyasha thought, while getting up. I guess I'll just go see.

------

She saw him staring down at her, shock written clear on his face. She smiled, letting the pain take her, as she closed her eyes.

"Kagome. Kagome… KAGOME!!''

---------

She sighed, taking in her surroundings. The sun was coming up painting the sky in an ray of yellow and pink.

Winry walked down the path that her and Edward had walked so many times when they were younger.

Flashback

"Close your eyes, Winry." She closed her eyes and covered them with her left hand. Eight year old Edward took her hand and led her to the surprise.

After a little while, he said, "Ok, Winry. You can open your eyes now."

She gasped.

End of flashback

Winry smiled as she reached her destination.

Flashback

"Don't tell no one bout this place, kay Win?''

She nodded. "I wouldn't think of it.''

"Good." Ed grinned, sitting on a rock. "This place is our little secret.''

End of Flashback

"Our little secret…." Winry looked down trying not to show her tears. "Is this place still our little secret now, Ed?''

She half expected him to answer her, but then laughed, when she realized how stupid that sounded.

Winry climbed a tree, only to the lowest branch and smiled. A small pond was below her, clear; spume floating on top of it. It was a peaceful place, with no litter or anything else bad. It was a place to rest the mind. To escape reality.

It was exactly what she needed.

She hated Edward. Hated him. Or at least she thought she did. But what if she was wrong?

No, Winry's inner self disagreed. You're not wrong. Edward hates you. And you should hate him. Everything Rose said about you is right. You're ugly. You're annoying.

But…

He chose her. You saw them. They kissed. He loves Rose, not you.

But what if….?

What if you weren't so ugly? Annoying? So… What's the word for it? Oh, I know. You.

Winry ignored her inner self. "What if I'm wr-"

"Wrong?''

Winry looked up.

I officially need ideas. Please help me!
