Well while my computer is still working I'll try to get two chaps up at
once. . .
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kikyo pulled Inu Yasha slowly towards the tree, maneuvering him between the tall roots till they came to a hollow against the trunk, walled in by the roots. There she slid him down on top of her, lying on a thick bed of moss. Inu Yasha was by this time delirious with pleasure, eyes turning red as she awoke the demon inside of him. It would not be long before she would have him completely under her control. . .
And then- he would die.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome rushed through the forest, slashing through bushes and branches in her path, and tearing her small school skirt. She dashed headlong towards Inu Yasha- she no longer followed the trail, she knew in her heart where he was, and made straight for him, as fast as she could. She could feel danger building, some storm of evil brewing that, unless she could reach Inu Yasha in time to stop it, would break, killing them all.
She burst forth from the forest into the dark shadow of the looming tree, and saw Inu Yasha, and under him, Kikyo. She tried to scream to wake Inu Yasha, but she was out of breath from running. Instead she hobbled towards them, trying to stop Kikyo before she could give him a kiss that would suck his life away. . .
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kikyo heard Kagome enter the clearing, and knew that she had only a moment left to kill Inu Yasha. She reached up, fondling the dog-demon's ears, even as she moved to kiss him. Inu Yasha was by this time hot with lust, and eagerly sought her lips. As their lips met, Kikyo smiled, and wrapped her arms around Inu Yasha's neck, claiming his mouth. He came awake, realizing what was happening, but could not pull away even as she sucked out his soul.
*NOOOO!* shrieked Kagome, throwing herself at them and slamming into Inu Yasha. Her momentum threw him sideways, breaking Kikyo's hold and knocking him out of her grasp. Released, he leapt to his feet, and would have run, but could only stagger a few paces before collapsing. Kagome, meanwhile, tried to hold Kikyo at bay as the older girl lunged for her throat. Breaking Kagome's hold, Kikyo threw her against a root to the side, and stood slowly. Her face, which had been twisted with rage at having Inu Yasha freed, smoothed again into a smug leer. She impatiently kicked Kagome out of her way and stalked over to Inu Yasha, who weakly tried to stand, but managed only to get on his hands and knees. She laughed coldly as he shuddered with that small effort, made huge by his weakened state.
'So- the great Inu Yasha, on all fours, reduced to the mongrel he is. What a sight. . . what a sight. Do you remember how you betrayed me, Inu Yasha? Remember the pain you caused me? Must have been quite fun for you, hmm? Well, how do you like that feeling now?' her face became twisted and ugly with her malice and hate.
'I wanted to kill you quickly, and get it over with. . . but now- no, I think I will make you watch as I first kill your little bitch, Kagome. *Then* I will kill you- slowly, painfully, the way you killed me.'
'No-' Inu Yasha grunted as he gasped weakly for air, 'don't- hurt- her. . . I'll do- anything- just don't- touch- her.' Kikyo half- smiled, contemplating this.
'Hmm. . . an interesting offer. What could you give me? Already I have most of your soul, and you will die soon if I don't give it back. And I will have had my revenge upon you, at long last. What more can I wish for? Here I have both of you at my mercy. Do you know of anything more you could possibly offer?'
'The. . . the jewel shards. . . or- I- I could-' he tried to think of anything more he could offer to keep Kagome safe, but in his present state he could not come up with anything that might appease her- she already had his life, and Kagome's, whenever she chose to take them.
*If I can just keep her talking, maybe she'll hold off until Miroku and Sango can find us. . .* thought Inu Yasha. *But I'll have to keep her interested- I have to keep her talking*
'Please, Kikyo- I do know something you might want. . .' he said, fighting to stay up on his hands and knees. She frowned prettily, puzzled.
'What? What do you have, hanyou? Surely there is nothing more you could give me than what I have already taken!'
Inu Yasha weakly tried to speak, but managed only a hoarse grunt before he collapsed on the ground, claws digging into the moss in an effort to rise. He couldn't get back up, and lay limply before her. Kikyo scowled, her curiosity piqued by what he could offer. She bent down and turned him over so that he lay on his back.
'Well, hanyou? Tell me.'
He tried to talk, but his tongue wasn't working, and he felt himself slipping-
'No! You can't leave yet- I'm not done with you!' exclaimed Kikyo, shaking him. Yet even she could see that Inu Yasha was unable to speak now. 'Here, Inu Yasha- hold on. . . I'll give your spirit back- just tell me what it is. . .'
Kikyo bent down and kissed him, returning his stolen spirit. He jerked and began to breath again. 'There- now. Tell me what it is you have to offer.' Kikyo demanded. Inu Yasha took a few shuddering breaths, then said softly-
'Love. . .'
Kikyo stood bolt upright with shock. For a moment, her old self returned, gazing down at him. . . but then her shock turned to anger.
'Is that all, you filthy little mongrel? Is that what you tricked me with, into letting you live a little longer? Ha! Fool!' she yelled, leaping upon him to strangle him in her wrath-
But her hands never closed about his neck. Inu Yasha, with renewed vigor from his returned spirit, bounded up, knocking her upwards and slamming her into the root behind her, where she crumpled in a heap beside Kagome. He followed the movement, bearing down upon her and slashing at her throat, his eyes turning red with hatred.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* (shriek from a short distance away) _ you filthy little mongrel? Is that what you tricked me with, into letting you live a little longer? Ha! Fool!_
'I hear something!' cried Shippo, trotting alongside Miroku and Sango. 'Do you think it's them? Hurry!'
'It's Kikyo, for sure! Run!!!' Miroku replied, speeding up. Sango pulled her boomerang out from its straps as she took the lead. They darted into a clearing in the shade of a giant tree. . .
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inu Yasha licked blood from his claws; his eyes still glowing dark red. Kikyo's body lay in a heap next to the root. He turned at the sound of others entering the clearing. In his state of demonic hatred, he barely recognized them. Grinning hungrily, he rose from the kill and faced the group walking towards him.
'Uh-oh. . .' muttered Sango.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Okay this story is almost finished, keep reading.
Inu Yasha: can you tell that she really didn't like Kikyo? Kagome: what she didn't mention was that Kikyo's body lay in not one heap, but several across the clearing. . . ::shudder::
