Twenty-Nine: I forgive you.

Kagome was no where to be found, Inuyasha had looked for hours everywhere he thought she would be but she wasn't there. As Inuyasha was walking back to the house he looked at the one place he had not checked yet, Inuyasha ran to the Giant Tree Kagome had shown him as a dog and he had not been since.

He breathed hard and forced himself from dropping to his knees, she wasn't there, where else could she be. Kikyou laugh came to Inuyasha's ears and he turned to see her walking up. "Should have told her what happened." She giggled. Inuyasha growled. "Kikyou it wasn't like that, I wasn't myself please under stand." He growled. Kikyou pulled up her bow and arrow already in place and pointed it at him. "I can never understand why you took away my life!" She cried out.

Inuyasha stood there growling staring at her. Kikyou pulled back the bow. "KIKYOU!" Kagome screamed running up. "Stop he's not the one to fight!" Kagome reached out to her, Kagome understood now and she wanted to help Kikyou. "Please let your guard down." Kagome pleaded. Kikyou shook her head and turned to Kagome letting her arrow fly. Kagome closed her eyes and screamed, but no arrow came. Kagome looked up Inuyasha stood there his knuckles cracked as he smirked, his eyes blood red two purple marks on his top checks. Kagome blinked, this was not Inuyasha, this was someone else, or something else.

Then Kagome knew this is what killed Kikyou, did that mean after done with Kikyou he would kill Kagome as well. After all he did save her why save her then kill her. Inuyasha bend down a bit in a attack standings ready to attack Kikyou. "So I see, this was your state when killing me." Kikyou painfully fell to her knees the gashes Inuyasha had inflected coming back her back starting to bleed once more. "So you spoke the truth you was not yourself." Kikyou put her hand on the ground. Kagome moved around Inuyasha and ran over to her. "Kikyou let me help you." Kagome bent over a bit to hold out her hand to her.

"Why would you want to help me, after all I did to you, why help me?" She asked confused. "Because I want to help." Kagome answered. Kikyou shook her head and smiled. "I shall rest in peace; I have done what I came to do." She looked up at Inuyasha. "I understand what happened, and I forgive you, only if we could have spent our lives together." Kikyou smiled falling down as her blood spilled around her. Kagome covered her mouth; turning to Inuyasha she noticed he was still not his self.

"Inuyasha?" She asked. He growled and looked at her cracking his knuckles again. Kagome softened her look and slowly walked to him reaching out to him. He snarled no long his eyes softened his marks disappeared. He was not going to kill another he loved; he tried to force himself to calm down but he couldn't turn fully on his own. Kagome noticed him struggle, she smiled and walked up to him wrapping her arms around him. "Kikyou forgives you." Kagome muttered.

Inuyasha blinked away his demon half and pulled away from Kagome in pain a soft whimper in his voice. "But do you." He muttered leaving her to walk into the house. Kagome walked after him. "Inuyasha!" She yelled. Again her mother walked from the kitchen as the two enter the house wonder what was wrong just to find Inuyasha walk by Kagome fallowing. She blinked. "Kids." She muttered shacking her head.
