==========Chapter Nineteen==========
Kagome looked away, "it's nothing" she saw at the window, Kikyo looking straight at her.
Kagome sat up,
"I....have to go out..." Kagome said as she stood and ran out.
"KAGOME!" InuYasha yelled as he stood up to go after her, but Miroku got up and held InuYasha's arm.
"Let her go, she needs time to think" Miroku said.
~The last time he said that, Kagome left to her world depressed, and we could have done something if we hadn't listened to MIROKU~ Sango thought as she glared at him.
Kagome looked around outside. ~She's gone....no I see her~ she saw Kikyo's figure standing near the forest. Kagome ran towards her, but Kikyo moved inside the forest.
Kagome ran after her, and halted when she saw Kikyo.
"Kikyo? Why are you here?" Kagome asked, standing a distance away from Kikyo.
"I may ask you the same question" Kikyo said calmly.
"I.....want to stay here...in the Feudal era...." Kagome replied.
"I see.....and InuYasha let you"
"........"
They stood like that in silence.
"I have a question, Kikyo.....how is it that you look well now? I thought that dead souls were not that reliable....."
Kikyo looked at Kagome. "It is none of your business, all I came here to tell you was to stay out between InuYasha and my relationship"
Kagome looked at Kikyo, but couldn't see her face since it was shadowed.
"You are my reincarnation. Do you know what pain I would be in if I found out that InuYasha cared for my reincarnation, even the least?!" Kikyo asked, straining her voice to keep it from letting out any emotions.
Kikyo looked up, Kagome slightly gasped to see a tear sliding down Kikyo's face. ~Kikyo must really care for InuYasha....to be having emotions besides hate from what her body was created for.....She really does love InuYasha.....~
"I hated InuYasha so much that I gave in and joined Naraku...there's your answer of why I look well, but...I can't kill InuYasha....I love him.....as you love him" Kikyo said, "and I'm scared...scared that he will chose you"
"He's chosen you already" Kagome whispered.
Kikyo looked away. She took in a deep breath. ~This girl....she makes me speak my heart....she is dangerous~
"You should not join under Naraku any longer" Kagome said, "if InuYasha heard...."
"I know what I am doing, girl, I do not need your advise. I am quite capable of figuring out what is for the best. Have you never heard of the saying, to always keep your enemies close? By doing so, I can easily destroy him....and I will destroy him...." Kikyo said bitterly.
Kagome stared at Kikyo. ~I see so much pain and sadness in her face. And she's so....beautiful. Hm, I'm nothing compared to her. She's able to take care of herself without getting killed. I feel so jealous....~
"This is just a warning, Kagome. Don't interfere. Or this will not be how it ends next time" Kikyo said coldly as her Shini-dama-chuu' s (Kikyo's long dragon looking, soul snatching pet's) wrapped around her and lifted her into the sky and disappeared.
Kagome sighed, dropping to the ground on her knees. ~Kikyo.....InuYasha...were meant to be, they love each other. Why....why did I have to be apart of this all. Am I the only one who will suffer at the end? All of my friends here have someone...except me. And in my world....I also feel alone...if I'm not with InuYasha. But I don't belong to him.....~
Kikyo walked towards the river and looked down at her reflection. ~My body was created by the hatred for InuYasha.....all that time I tried to become perfect....has gone all to waist. But once I become full human, I can start again....InuYasha....Why did this tragedy have to happen to us.....~
"InuYasha....."
****************************** "Kagome!" InuYasha said, standing up when he saw Kagome enter.
Kagome walked in with her head down. ~Why did I have to be apart of this all, I am the one that is keeping InuYasha and Kikyo away......And me..I'm a reincarnation....just that.....not myself. But InuYasha says I'm different...I hope he's right.....but if he's not....who am I ~
"Kagome...." InuYasha said, looking worried. Kagome looked around, everyone was asleep except InuYasha.
"You're still awake....why" Kagome quietly asked.
"I couldn't sleep....until I saw you come back safely" he replied.
Kagome tightly shut her eyes. ~Stop being so nice! You make me love you more! Stop it! I wish....I wish you could love me! But I'll except the fact that you can't love me.... because I love you~ A tear ran down her cheeks. She ran up to InuYasha, and without thinking she held him, and began to cry.
"WHO AM I?!" Kagome sobbed, "Who am I to you?!!"
"You're...Kagome..." he replied in shock and confusion.
"Am I nothing to you, but a jewel detector? Do you just cope with me because I look like Kikyo. Do you know me only as her reincarnation?" Kagome asked, continueing to cry.
InuYasha held her tightly. "You mean something to me Kagome, you're more than a jewel detector....and you are you"
"He's really a two timer" Sango whispered to Miroku who had faked their sleep.
"And a damn good one" he replied, "I envy him"
Sango seriously wanted to hit Miroku, but decided to save it for the next day.
A bee buzzed outside, looking through the window. Watching InuYasha and Kagome.
****************************** Naraku appeared before Kikyo.
"What do you want" Kikyo coldly asked.
"I just came to show you something" Naraku said. Kana appeared holding a mirror. "You'll see something very interesting"
Kikyo looked at Naraku suspiciously and looked at the mirror. She saw Kagome running up to InuYasha and hugging him, she was saying something in tears. Then InuYasha was holding her back.
Kikyo stared at the mirror with a cold face. "Kagome.... I had warned you...". Kikyo looked up at Naraku. "You are trying to make me hate InuYasha, because of your jealous heart! But I'm going to kill you Naraku. I will never join your side" Kikyo said, she pulled out her arrows and shot it at Naraku, missing him by a bit.
"I knew you would do that" he replied, "but remember, I am the one who makes you strong"
Kikyo remembered what Kagome had said,
"You should not join under Naraku any longer" Kagome said, "if InuYasha heard...."
Naraku reached out to kill Kikyo when a sudden pain pierced his heart. "Damn, Onigumo. Damn your disgusting human heart"
"You cannot kill me, when your other half is in love with me" Kikyo said.
Naraku looked hatefully at her. "Damn you Kikyo. You can go to hell with my blessings. I may not be able to kill you until I become a full youkai, but I can harm you!" he said coldly, taking the souls that belonged to him back, leaving Kikyo back in her normal weak state with the weak dead souls. Kikyo gasped a little bit, feeling the pain of weakness again. Naraku pierced his nails into her shoulder's as it ripped through her skin.
Kikyo gasped, staggering back. Naraku followed, ready to harm her some more. But Kikyo quickly ran to her Shini-dama-chuu as it wrapped around her and she disappeared.
"Until we meet again, Kikyo...."
"InuYasha...."Kikyo weakly muttered as she walked through the tall grass, blood dripping to the ground and grass. "Kagome.......you were warned, to stay away from him"
Kikyo dropped to the grass on her knees from the pain on her shoulders. ~My own legs are barely able to keep the weight of my body up. I feel so impure with this dead body......that lives on dead souls. I want to become human......~
****************************** InuYasha was sitting leaning against the wall with Kagome, who had fallen asleep against his shoulders while sitting next to him. He looked down at Kagome. He took off the necklace around his neck and hung it back around Kagome. ~This belongs to you~ he thought.
~You mean a lot to me Kagome....a lot~
~I wish I didn't have to chose between Kikyo and Kagome....and by letting Kagome stay here, I have chosen both. Kikyo wont be happy.....damn, I always seem to be screwing everything up these days~ InuYasha thought. He looked out the window that was across the room and saw fireflies dancing in the dark.
InuYasha glanced down at Kagome, and slightly smiled for some reason. ~When I look at her...... I can't help but smile, and I can't help it that my heart starts to get all warm..... I can't help it, but I wish I could....for Kikyo's sake, but still...... I can't help it~
******************************
~I can stay here forever.....wherever I am....I feel so happy here, but I can't see where I am, it's so hazed. This scent, so familiar.....it's the scent of......WHA?!!!!~ Kagome opened her eyes from her sleep. She could feel that she was lying on the ground. Normal. But, she could feel someone's arms around her. She looked at the person whose arms were around her. ~INUYASHA?!.....Oh yah, I fell asleep on him......and then he must have fallen asleep...~
InuYasha woke up from his peaceful sleep he hadn't had in a while, feeling something move under his arms. His sleepiness left him, as the scent he had smelt all night had come to him of whose scent it was. ~Kagome?!~
They blankly stared at each other for a second. Both their hearts froze.
"....Ka...gome...", InuYasha pulled back and sat up. Kagome did the same and sat up, sitting back to back with him. Unable to face him from how they had found themselves asleep.
"I'll keep that a secret, and you do the same" Kagome muttered. Her whole body heating up in embarrassment.
"Like I want to tell anyone" InuYasha replied, feeling the same way as Kagome.
"I'll....get the breakfast ready" Kagome said, jumping up and running away.
InuYasha let out his breath. ~Ok then.....that was the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me.....~
************************* "I wonder what's up with Kagome and InuYasha" Sango said to Miroku as they were walking down the road with Kagome, InuYasha, Shippo and Kilala to continue on their journey in search of the Shikon no Tama.
"Yah......for the whole morning till now, they have been acting really strangely..."
"I have noticed. They could barely look at each other straight in the eyes without looking somewhat....."
"Embarrassed?" Miroku finished.
"Exactly!"
"Do you think....."
"What?" Sango asked curiously, moving closer to Miroku.
Miroku looked at them, Sango also looked at Kagome and InuYasha.
"Do you think....I know these signs....."
InuYasha turned around.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STARING AT?!!!!!!"
Miroku and Sango backed away.
"Haha nothing" Miroku replied.
"Keh", InuYasha turned back around, "Assholes"
"So what do you think?" Sango again asked.
"That they....possibly slept with each other?"
Sango' s face darkened. "Possibly, since they were sleeping next to each other" she said coldly.
"No, I mean....you know *coughs *. I am an expert at these symptoms" Miroku said, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Sango pushed Miroku, who stumbled back to the edge of a river, swinging his arms wildly in the air to get balance. Sango walked up and pushed him into the river with her finger.
"Baka. I don't know why I ask you anything. You always come up with something indecent. THEY WOULD DO NO SUCH THING! There are people in this world who are normal unlike you, YOU KNOW!!!!" Sango said coldly and walked away.
"HEY! WAIT FOR ME!" Miroku cried, jumping out of the river, all soaked. "What did I say?! I was just telling you what I thought!"
****************************** They were walking down the road, but stopped when they heard a child's voice crying for help. InuYasha' s ear perked up.
"I bet it has something to do with a youkai..." InuYasha muttered.
The child came crying, and stood in front of InuYasha.
"HELP, HELP, my brother can't, can't...."
InuYasha pushed the chubby kid out of the way and jumped towards where the kid had been pointing to.
InuYasha smiled, " we're gunu get another Shikon jewel, I can just smell it....." InuYasha had jumped high into the air, and in midair he froze. "But.....I can't smell the Shikon jewels anywhere......" Suddenly, he realized that he was in the air and crashed to the ground.
InuYasha growled angrily as he dusted the soil off his Haori. He looked up hearing the sound of a boy crying. ~A youkai? But I can't smell any.....~ InuYasha ran towards the cry to find an oversized boy, his body shaped as a big round balloon, lying on his back with his arms and legs waving in the air like a flipped over bug.
The boy saw InuYasha and cried, "I can't get up, I can't get up!!!!"
InuYasha' s hands turned into a fist as he started to glare at the kid in annoyance.
"Keh, baka" InuYasha muttered as he turned to leave, but slammed into Kagome.
"Go help him out!" Kagome said.
"Keh, he's of no benefit to us"
"Well still, he's in need of a help. And it's not that hard to pull a boy up! If you are kind to someone, the kindness will someday come around back to you"
"KEH, what kind of damn saying is that?! ......Him, a boy. I've never seen a human boy that friggin fat. Man, look at him, he's such a fat ass that he can't even get up himself! His brother can't even help him up!"
"It's because this witch made us eat this yummy thing. I just ate a little, but Jenjie kept on eating and then he turned out like that!" the boy said, running over to his fallen brother, " and I helped him escape, but I'm afraid it's still looking for us! It fattens us and then eats us alive!!!! How can you say such a mean thing to my brother, you Youkai!!!! "
"Keh, whatever. See, if he hadn't been such a fat ass, he wouldn't have ate so much and gotten himself into this shit. Anyway, now I feel better, let's go in search of the youkai" InuYasha said, "kid, tell us where this witch lives"
"I'm not telling you, because you didn't help my brother out!" the boy replied stubbornly.
"You brat!" InuYasha yelled, pulling the boy up by the collar and started to shake him. "If you don't tell me where that youkai witch lives, you wont live to make it over to that fat ass brother of yours in one friggin piece!!!!"
Kagome and the rest sweat dropped.
"InuYasha let him go, he's just a boy" Sango said bordly.
"I don't give a damn if he's a BOY. Not until this asshole tells me where the place is!!!" InuYasha said loudly. The boy continued to try and kick him.
Kagome sighed. "See, my saying was right. InuYasha.......sit"
THUD!
The boy ran behind Kagome. InuYasha stood out of the deep whole cursing.
"Damn necklace" InuYasha muttered. "Can't get no where with that Ka-go-me around."
Kagome sighed and turned to look at the boy. "Little boy, will you please tell me where you and your brother Jenjie had been taken to?" Kagome asked nicely.
The boy nodded. "You see over there in that big forest? If you look around, you'll see a swamp, and then you start to come upon skulls and skeletons, and a cage where humans are stored. That's all I know, because that was the furthest we went. We don't know where she takes the people she wants to eat, though. And we don't know where she lives. When we were running here, we had to take the long way for we did not know how to get across the swamp"
"Arigato "she said, patting the boys head. Kagome turned to InuYasha. "How will we get those two boys back to their normal forms?"
"Keh, I don't give two shits of whether they stay like that or not" InuYasha said, crossing his arms and looking away, angry at Kagome.
"They'll probably get back to normal if we defeat this youkai. With her dead, the food of her spell would no longer work...." Miroku said observantly.
"Jenjie, Jenjie!" the boy cried as he ran over to his brother.
"You stay safe" Sango said, as she pulled everyone towards the forest.
****************************** They looked around the dark, dampy forest.
"LOOK!" Shippo cried, "I see skeletons!"
"KYAAAAAA!" Kagome cried as she ran behind InuYasha.
"Keh, you're impossible!" InuYasha said to Kagome, a little bit annoyed with her still.
"And there's the swamp....." Sango said, pointing across the swamp.
"And the cages across it.....with REALLY fat people" Miroku said.
"Let's go through the swamp. I'll jump across with Kagome, and the rest of you go across on Kilala" InuYasha said.
They were half way across the swamp when a youkai covered in slimy green seaweed appeared.
Sango and the rest who were on Kilala got away, but InuYasha who had jumped, fell into the swamp.
"KYAAAAAAA!!!!!" Kagome screamed, holding on dearly to InuYasha.
"Hold on!" InuYasha yelled as they plopped into the swamp.
Kagome and InuYasha looked blankly at the swamp.
"It's......SINKING SAND!!!!" Kagome cried.
"Don't move dammit!"
Sango got her Boomerang and through it at the swamp youkai as it sliced it in half. The youkai turned back into swamp muck and disappeared.
"That was too easy...." Sango muttered suspiciously.
Miroku and Sango got on Kilala and flew over to InuYasha and Kagome.
"Try to get Kagome out first!" InuYasha told them.
"HAI" Sango said, pulling hard on Kagome's right arm, and Miroku on the left.
"She's coming out....SHE' S OUT!" Miroku said in triumph, pulling Kagome who was all slimed up onto Kilala who growled in disgust.
"Now get me out!" InuYasha yelled. But suddenly, he felt something pulling his legs from under the muck. InuYasha froze. Miroku looked down at the swamp,
"There' s something down there.....GET INUYASHA OUT FAST!!!!" Miroku yelled.
InuYasha felt something like fangs bight into his legs as it pulled him down. Then a hand with long claws pierced into his skin as it too started to pull him down. InuYasha gave a slight cry of pain,
"Get me the hell out of here!" InuYasha yelled. He tried to get his Tetsusaiga out, but he couldn't move. After a few tries, he was able to get his Tetsusiaga out. He pierced it into the muck, but a hand grabbed it out of InuYasha' s hands from under the muck and through it onto land, revealing a green had, covered in seaweed with long extended sharp, black, claws.
"MY TETSUSAIGA!!" InuYasha said. The youkai started to pull him downer, the muck now reaching up to InuYasha' s chin. Kagome reached out her hands. "Kagome..." he said, reaching out and grabbing it.
"Hold on, InuYasha. Don't let go!" Kagome cried.
"I wont...." InuYasha said, as he felt the strength of the youkai pulling hard at him.
"Kagome.....I have to let go.....or I'll pull you down as well...."
"Then pull me down as well!" Kagome cried, tears blurring her eyes. "I wont let go InuYasha. Don't let GO!!!!!!!"
"Kagome" InuYasha said, looking at her warmly. "I wont ...... Die"
"InuYasha!" Kagome screamed, as InuYasha' s hand started to slide down her hands.
"Ka...gome...." was the last thing he said as he disappeared into the green muck.
"INUYASHA!!!!!" Kagome cried. InuYasha' s blood was visible, as it spread out across the muck.

Kagome sat up,
"I....have to go out..." Kagome said as she stood and ran out.

Sango' s face darkened. "Possibly, since they were sleeping next to each other" she said coldly.
"No, I mean....you know *coughs *. I am an expert at these symptoms" Miroku said, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Sango pushed Miroku, who stumbled back to the edge of a river, swinging his arms wildly in the air to get balance. Sango walked up and pushed him into the river with her finger.
"Baka. I don't know why I ask you anything. You always come up with something indecent. THEY WOULD DO NO SUCH THING! There are people in this world who are normal unlike you, YOU KNOW!!!!" Sango said coldly and walked away.
"HEY! WAIT FOR ME!" Miroku cried, jumping out of the river, all soaked. "What did I say?! I was just telling you what I thought!"
****************************** They were walking down the road, but stopped when they heard a child's voice crying for help. InuYasha' s ear perked up.
"I bet it has something to do with a youkai..." InuYasha muttered.
The child came crying, and stood in front of InuYasha.
"HELP, HELP, my brother can't, can't...."
InuYasha pushed the chubby kid out of the way and jumped towards where the kid had been pointing to.
InuYasha smiled, " we're gunu get another Shikon jewel, I can just smell it....." InuYasha had jumped high into the air, and in midair he froze. "But.....I can't smell the Shikon jewels anywhere......" Suddenly, he realized that he was in the air and crashed to the ground.
InuYasha growled angrily as he dusted the soil off his Haori. He looked up hearing the sound of a boy crying. ~A youkai? But I can't smell any.....~ InuYasha ran towards the cry to find an oversized boy, his body shaped as a big round balloon, lying on his back with his arms and legs waving in the air like a flipped over bug.
The boy saw InuYasha and cried, "I can't get up, I can't get up!!!!"
InuYasha' s hands turned into a fist as he started to glare at the kid in annoyance.
"Keh, baka" InuYasha muttered as he turned to leave, but slammed into Kagome.
"Go help him out!" Kagome said.
"Keh, he's of no benefit to us"
"Well still, he's in need of a help. And it's not that hard to pull a boy up! If you are kind to someone, the kindness will someday come around back to you"
"KEH, what kind of damn saying is that?! ......Him, a boy. I've never seen a human boy that friggin fat. Man, look at him, he's such a fat ass that he can't even get up himself! His brother can't even help him up!"
"It's because this witch made us eat this yummy thing. I just ate a little, but Jenjie kept on eating and then he turned out like that!" the boy said, running over to his fallen brother, " and I helped him escape, but I'm afraid it's still looking for us! It fattens us and then eats us alive!!!! How can you say such a mean thing to my brother, you Youkai!!!! "
"Keh, whatever. See, if he hadn't been such a fat ass, he wouldn't have ate so much and gotten himself into this shit. Anyway, now I feel better, let's go in search of the youkai" InuYasha said, "kid, tell us where this witch lives"
"I'm not telling you, because you didn't help my brother out!" the boy replied stubbornly.
"You brat!" InuYasha yelled, pulling the boy up by the collar and started to shake him. "If you don't tell me where that youkai witch lives, you wont live to make it over to that fat ass brother of yours in one friggin piece!!!!"
Kagome and the rest sweat dropped.
"InuYasha let him go, he's just a boy" Sango said bordly.
"I don't give a damn if he's a BOY. Not until this asshole tells me where the place is!!!" InuYasha said loudly. The boy continued to try and kick him.
Kagome sighed. "See, my saying was right. InuYasha.......sit"
THUD!
The boy ran behind Kagome. InuYasha stood out of the deep whole cursing.
"Damn necklace" InuYasha muttered. "Can't get no where with that Ka-go-me around."
Kagome sighed and turned to look at the boy. "Little boy, will you please tell me where you and your brother Jenjie had been taken to?" Kagome asked nicely.
The boy nodded. "You see over there in that big forest? If you look around, you'll see a swamp, and then you start to come upon skulls and skeletons, and a cage where humans are stored. That's all I know, because that was the furthest we went. We don't know where she takes the people she wants to eat, though. And we don't know where she lives. When we were running here, we had to take the long way for we did not know how to get across the swamp"
"Arigato "she said, patting the boys head. Kagome turned to InuYasha. "How will we get those two boys back to their normal forms?"
"Keh, I don't give two shits of whether they stay like that or not" InuYasha said, crossing his arms and looking away, angry at Kagome.
"They'll probably get back to normal if we defeat this youkai. With her dead, the food of her spell would no longer work...." Miroku said observantly.
"Jenjie, Jenjie!" the boy cried as he ran over to his brother.
"You stay safe" Sango said, as she pulled everyone towards the forest.
****************************** They looked around the dark, dampy forest.
"LOOK!" Shippo cried, "I see skeletons!"
"KYAAAAAA!" Kagome cried as she ran behind InuYasha.
"Keh, you're impossible!" InuYasha said to Kagome, a little bit annoyed with her still.
"And there's the swamp....." Sango said, pointing across the swamp.
"And the cages across it.....with REALLY fat people" Miroku said.
"Let's go through the swamp. I'll jump across with Kagome, and the rest of you go across on Kilala" InuYasha said.
They were half way across the swamp when a youkai covered in slimy green seaweed appeared.
Sango and the rest who were on Kilala got away, but InuYasha who had jumped, fell into the swamp.
"KYAAAAAAA!!!!!" Kagome screamed, holding on dearly to InuYasha.
"Hold on!" InuYasha yelled as they plopped into the swamp.
Kagome and InuYasha looked blankly at the swamp.
"It's......SINKING SAND!!!!" Kagome cried.
"Don't move dammit!"
Sango got her Boomerang and through it at the swamp youkai as it sliced it in half. The youkai turned back into swamp muck and disappeared.
"That was too easy...." Sango muttered suspiciously.
Miroku and Sango got on Kilala and flew over to InuYasha and Kagome.
"Try to get Kagome out first!" InuYasha told them.
"HAI" Sango said, pulling hard on Kagome's right arm, and Miroku on the left.
"She's coming out....SHE' S OUT!" Miroku said in triumph, pulling Kagome who was all slimed up onto Kilala who growled in disgust.
"Now get me out!" InuYasha yelled. But suddenly, he felt something pulling his legs from under the muck. InuYasha froze. Miroku looked down at the swamp,
"There' s something down there.....GET INUYASHA OUT FAST!!!!" Miroku yelled.
InuYasha felt something like fangs bight into his legs as it pulled him down. Then a hand with long claws pierced into his skin as it too started to pull him down. InuYasha gave a slight cry of pain,
"Get me the hell out of here!" InuYasha yelled. He tried to get his Tetsusaiga out, but he couldn't move. After a few tries, he was able to get his Tetsusiaga out. He pierced it into the muck, but a hand grabbed it out of InuYasha' s hands from under the muck and through it onto land, revealing a green had, covered in seaweed with long extended sharp, black, claws.
"MY TETSUSAIGA!!" InuYasha said. The youkai started to pull him downer, the muck now reaching up to InuYasha' s chin. Kagome reached out her hands. "Kagome..." he said, reaching out and grabbing it.
"Hold on, InuYasha. Don't let go!" Kagome cried.
"I wont...." InuYasha said, as he felt the strength of the youkai pulling hard at him.
"Kagome.....I have to let go.....or I'll pull you down as well...."
"Then pull me down as well!" Kagome cried, tears blurring her eyes. "I wont let go InuYasha. Don't let GO!!!!!!!"
"Kagome" InuYasha said, looking at her warmly. "I wont ...... Die"
"InuYasha!" Kagome screamed, as InuYasha' s hand started to slide down her hands.
"Ka...gome...." was the last thing he said as he disappeared into the green muck.
"INUYASHA!!!!!" Kagome cried. InuYasha' s blood was visible, as it spread out across the muck.
