Why am I in Pain?

AN: Oh my! I bet you guys hate me! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry I didn't update for sooo long!! But it's not entirely my fault. I just got a new computer. First it got a virus so, I had to get that fixed. Then the Microsoft Word trial expired. And then I had to wait for my uncle to come over and install so I wouldn't have to buy it for like $400.00! Anyways, thank you to my two faithful reviewers for reviewing. The rest of you - if you really want me to update and make my chapters long and good try reviewing! Sorry if I'm being harsh, but my god you guys, it's not that hard and plus I would really appreciate it. Anyways, this chapter might be short because I'm in a rush. I just got into Turner for IB!! So happy!! Okay I'll stop boring you with my personal life.

Us or Them

Kagome and Sesshomaru stood up to be faced by Inuyasha.

Kagome took a second to register everything. Inuyasha, mad as ever holding his tetsuigia, Kikyo right behind him. Sango, Shippo, Miroku and Kirara were staring at her with worried eyes.

"What – is going on here?"

"Shut the hell up!" Inuyasha yelled at her making Kikyo smile.

He's doing this for Kikyo. She's forced him into this.

She looked up at Sesshomaru, and all the worries she had held disappeared.

Inuyasha is that's how you want to play it…that's how we'll play it.

"Kagome we tried to stop him!" Miroku made a move towards Kagome but was only stopped by Inuyasha's arm. "You are not going to her."

Miroku stepped back, astonished by the cruelness in his voice. Kagome smiled at them though, because she understood they couldn't have done anything to stop him.

"Inuyasha, what is it that you want?"

Inuyasha stared at Sesshomaru, snarling at him. Kikyo whispered something in his ear, and although Kagome was way too far to hear, she did. Kikyo wanted her to hear it.

"Inuyasha…Stop talking and finish her off,"

Maybe if Sesshomaru hadn't looked at her reassuringly, Kagome would have broken down.

What did I do to deserve this? Why does Kikyo hate me so much? Maybe all people like her can do is just that - hate.

Kagome wouldn't back down now, even if it meant killing Inuyasha. That's how far she would go.

I've become a horrible person…thinking that. But I can't let them have the satisfaction of knowing I'll back down. We all know it's either us or them.

Sesshomaru slid his had down to his sheaf and unshielded his sword. Inuyasha held his tetsuiga with both hands. And both Kikyo and Kagome drew their arrows.

Sango, Miroku, and Shippo watched in awe, afraid, not wanting to know, what would happen next.

AN: Okay that was short, as I said before it would be. But I promise next time it will be long! And this time I'm going to wait for 5 reviews. 5! I really would love to update all the time, I don't like to make people suffer lol, but what's the point if I don't know if people are actually liking it? I have a lot of homework, personal problems and pressure I have to handle because it's term two, so I can't really just be generous…unless I'm free. I still haven't heard from any of you. And madmiko, lol yes I would so loveeee to have a Sesshomaru like that. But so sad…never will happen. Okay thank you for reading and don't forget to review. Once again, sorry for the delay. Succeed…
