Kagome slowly slid herself from Inuyasha's arms, allowing the hug to cease. She still spoke not one word, and now turned away from Inuyasha.. her eyebrows furowed in thought.
" Ka.. gome? "
He noticed her flinch and suddenly grabbed her wrist, flinging her back to face him- The movement was harsh, but he didn't like how she was acting.. it scared him.
" .. Inu.. "
She began but couldn't look up, then Inuyasha froze; Kikyou's voice. From Kagome's lip.. Yes, that had been it- That was the difference. Instead of Kagome's presence.. he felt Kikyou's. Yet, why hadn't he been able to notice this right off? Now that he looked harder, even her appearance was that of Kikyou's.. a Kikyou trying to get him to think she was Kagome.
Before, he had noticed the kimono adorned on the assumed-to-be-Kagome. It was definitely from the live girl's time. No doubt. Then why did Kikyou have it.. why the hell is she wearing Kagome's clothes..
The priestess finally looked up. Her expression was melted over with sadness, doubt, and pure confusion. Her hand tugged on the sleeve of his red outfit, pulling his attention right back into reality.
" I killed her. .. I did it.. "
Before anything else, Inuyasha's eyes widened. Larger than he could ever have imaged and he felt rage well up inside him. Deep, deep inside of him. His hand clenched into a fist and he thrust himself away from her, thus breaking the grip Kikyou had on his sleeve.
She quickly held up a hand, taking a step forward. As her lips moved, he began barking out what he could manage from his emotions- Slicing her words in two.
" You BITCH! I.. don't believe you.. You.. wouldn't do it. SHE trusted you, and I trust you- Or at least I did.. "
His claws itched for blood.. needed blood.. Each word that sounded from him was morphed into a growl, deep inside of his chest. Eyeing Kikyou, he began feeling what everyone had told him.. Kikyou was a monster of hate now. He truly believed it. Knowing that Kagome and Kikyou were enemies and each envied the other, he should've seen this coming.. should've stopped her. Somehow.
The moment of silence broke with a simple whisp of wind, and that's all it took to pulled the strings of Inuyasha ill-fated soul. He fell to one knee, staring at the ground. When he her leaves being crushed infront of him, he still made no move to it.
"Listen to me, the whole way through, for one goddamn time, Inuyasha. "
His response was expected; A low growl.. hissing with anger.
" I did try and kill Kagome many times- You know that. Yet you did nothing about it. Not for one moment could your trust in me be altered.. Your honor and heart doesn't allow it. "
Inuyasha's reaction to this was nothing. Utterly nothing.
" .. Naraku.. Your excuse not to hate me. And I believe, once again you may use him to fall back on. The trap was set for you, but not by me. You should know I do not set such useless traps. He, obviously does, and has.. again. I woke up wearing that girl's clothes. The ones she had on when Oni—Iie, Naraku went to where she comes from and took her. The blame will lie with me until you find out what really happened, and I know you will. Don't forget.. you trust me, always. "
For a moment, the woman looked truly saddened. Not an act.. not even a form of hatred. Sympathy for the man who's heart tore constantly. But then the expression was gone, and so was she. Faded into the mist that had ominously settled.
AN:
Woo. STILL not done! This one will probably only be four chapter. Unlike my long-ass 9 one. Anyways, don't think anything in this story is definite. 'Kay? I'm not that mean. I'm sorry if its OOC, but it's difficult. X_x; Well, please leave comments. I hope you're all enjoying this! ^_^/)
