=============Chapter twenty-one=============
Kagome sighed, as she looked down at InuYasha who had fallen asleep.
"He still looks very hurt" Sango muttered.
"Again.....always him, always the center of attention with girls" Miroku said with an envious sigh.
Sango sweatdropped. "Will you shut up for once. Always talking of your perverted wishes. If you want to look very hurt, just go jump off a cliff, see then if you'll become the center of attention"
"Heh, I'll do just that" Miroku replied sarcastically.
"Do you think that he'll be better for sure?" Kagome asked, still staring down at InuYasha. ~Hurry up and get well, InuYasha, it's so lonely here without you~
Everyone stared at Kagome, who was staring down at InuYasha.
Silence.
Shippo yawned, "we've bin staring at Kagome and InuYasha for the past few hours!"
Sango nudged Miroku, and looked at the door.
~She's sending me a sign....~ Miroku thought
She shook her head again towards the door.
~Oh, she wants us to leave Kagome with InuYasha...~
"Oh, EH-HEM. SHIPPO, LET US....GO OUTSIDE TO GO...FISH CATCHING. OH, WHY NOT COME ALONG AS WELL SANGO? AND KAGOME CAN STAY HERE WITH INUYASHA" Miroku said.
"Fishing? But there isn't any water to fish in around here and it's getting night" Kagome said, a little suspiciously.
"Oh, HAHA!" Sango laughed nervously, elbowing Miroku hard in the side. "He meant....shhhhhhhhh.....shopping, yes, shopping for fish, did not you, MI-RO-KU??????"
"Ah, Ah, Ah...Yah!" Miroku said, pulling Sango and Shippo out of the hut that Miroku had "taken an evil spirit out of".
"Oh, that was a little OBVIOUS! "Sango said in annoyance at Miroku, once they were out.
"What?!" Miroku asked back innocently.
Sango repeated what Miroku had said in a stupid low voice.
"ANYWAY, why do you want to leave Kagome and InuYasha together?!" Miroku asked.
"QUALITITY TIME!"
"With a guy who is unconscious?" Miroku muttered.
"Shutup!!!!" Sango snapped. "You're such an asshole!"
"Oh, so just because I won this fight, you're all mad and start acting all asshole-ish...."
"I'm NOT mad and this was NOT a fight!" Sango hissed.
~oh boy, here we go again. They sure can go on and on and on talking and blaming each other~ Shippo thought.
****************************** Something made InuYasha' s heart stop beating. He caught a scent of someone familiar and dear to him. It was calling his name. To wake up and follow him. ~The voice....so familiar....the voice belongs to....~
InuYasha' s eyes snapped open. He sat up,
"Kikyo!"
Kagome looked at InuYasha in shock. He stood up, grimacing from his still fresh wounds. He stood up and unsteadily walked towards the door to see Kikyo' s Shini-dama-chuu.
"Kikyo..." InuYasha muttered as he ran outside, following as fast as his wounded body could after Kikyo' s pet. ~If I follow Kikyo's soul snatching youkai's. I'll be able to find Kikyo....~
Kagome let InuYasha go. She watched InuYasha following Kikyo's youkai, only wearing the bottom part of his Haori, and his chest bare, but not really, since it was all bandaged up. ~Go InuYasha....I can't stop you....from what you want dear. I can't stop you from the truth.....Go, go look for your Kikyo~ Kagome sadly looked down at the bloody bandages she had changed to another new one for InuYasha.
~Kikyo..... I'm so jealous of you.....InuYasha, you sure can forget that I exist really fast.....~ Kagome sadly thought
InuYasha ran after the Shini-dama-chuu's . The once white bandages were now all soaked in blood, from the re-opening of the wound. InuYasha kept on running after the two youkais , forgetting about his pain.
~Kikyo.....I can feel it.....I can feel that you are avoiding me. Why? I need to find you to find out why. I said to protect you..... I can't if you avoid me. I owe you too much already, don't make me owe you more...~
************************* Kagome sighed.
"He's not here yet....." Kagome muttered. ~Probably doesn't want to come back, he probably wants to stay with Kikyo~
Kagome felt something signaling her body of something.
"A Shikon Jewel...."Kagome muttered. She looked around. ~No one is here....then I must go find it myself...~ Kagome thought as she quickly stood up, grabbed her arrows and left outside towards the dark forest where she had sensed the Shikon Jewel shard. ~I can feel that the shard is not big....but still.....And it's close, it's somewhere in that wood~ Kagome looked down at the Shikon jewel that hung around her neck. ~I will get it~
Kagome entered the forest, searching for the Shikon Jewel, but walking cautiously around. Afraid that something would jump out at any minuet.
Time had passed, ~I'm slowing everything down by being afraid...~ Kagome thought as she looked up at the sky that had turned dark. ~I have to hurry up~
************************* A figure stood in the middle of the woods, cloaked in black as it blew in the wind, almost making the person blend into the dark woods. The person calmly stood waiting, waiting for her to come. A sword shone in the moonlight, as it was held by the dark figure.
"At last" the person whispered, catching a glimpse of a young girl running towards her.
Kagome stopped running, seeing a person standing in the middle of the woods. Kagome again felt something signaling her body, detecting the Shikon jewel. ~You have it..~
"Come to me" a voice lowly whispered, "come to me"
A shiver ran down Kagome' s back. Kagome took out her arrow, pointing it to the figure, Kagome slowly moved back and backed up into a tree. Kagome shot the arrow, but as soon as the arrow had shot from her bow, the figure took out a bow and an arrow and shot it straight at the arrow Kagome had shot. The anonymous person's bow sliced right through Kagome's and hit the bark right next to Kagome's neck. Kagome gasped.
"Ho....how is...this possible?" Kagome muttered.
The person put the bow away. The person drew the sword and pointed it straight at Kagome from a distance.
"I may not know how to wield a sword, but I do know how to pierce it through you" the voice said lowly.
~It's a woman! ~ Kagome thought. The woman charged at Kagome with the shining sword pointed straight at her. She sliced the tree into half with her left hand. Kagome saw a Shikon jewel shining on her left hand. It ran for Kagome again, but this time cut a little bit of Kagome's side. Kagome quickly took out a arrow and shot the sword out of the person's hand. The figure gasped and turned and seemed to be staring at Kagome. She grabbed Kagome by the neck with her left hand and through her to the ground. Kagome crashed hard onto the ground.
Kagome slowly got up to her knees, but was pulled up by the collar of her uniform and the person's elegant looking hand, turned into a fist and smashed it across Kagome's face. Kagome then was flung to a tree...by the person's left hand... breaking into the tree. Kagome cried in pain. The person picked Kagome up again and punched her in the stomach. She still held Kagome, the person held her right hand in the air, as a dagger appeared out of sleeve. She stabbed it through Kagome's shoulder. Kagome collapsed to the ground.
The figure moved back and picked up the sword, she walked up to Kagome and broke the Shikon Jewel necklace off Kagome's neck
"I'll be taking this...." she said in a cold calm voice.
"My body is made up of hatred and revenge, it is now all directed to you. You have tried to take away from me what I valued most. And now I have a chance to be happy, but I cannot without you dead. You shall pay..." the voice whispered, lifting the sword to stab it through Kagome, but she did not. The figure stumbled back, dropping the sword onto the ground,
"No..No...I can't..." she muttered.
The dark figure turned, and ran away. Leaving Kagome lying on her back, with the dagger stabbed into her shoulder. Blood streaking down her cheeks. Kagome looked up at the night sky, the sky started to go out of focus and then her mind went all black.
The figure ran as far as she could, then fell to the ground. She held her shoulder as blood dripped to the ground.
"I have used all my strength....I have used up all the dead souls within me" the figure said as the cloak blew off her, to reveal Kikyo, her shoulder's soaked in blood and her face looking pale. A dark pool of blood formed a on the grass.
~I couldn't kill her....and get her soul....I just couldn't kill her...my heart wouldn't let me, even if my heart does hate her, my heart is the only thing that has a little bit of purity in it....~ Kikyo thought, as she pulled the Shikon Jewel out of her left wrist, as her wrist bled. ~And Kagome also.....shot the sword out of my hands.....I never knew she was that skilled....~
~Next time....I will get her next time. I will.....and be with InuYasha!~
~Shini-dama-chuu' s return back to me.....~
*************************
InuYasha panted,
"Damn Shini-dama-chuu's, they disappeared....strange"
InuYasha dropped to his knees from the pain in his wound. He punched the ground.
"KIKYO!" he cried. "How can I be with you if you keep avoiding me....or how can I protect you..."
InuYasha gathered up his wit, and stood up, stumbling a bit. He walked slowly back towards the hut that was a distance away.
InuYasha was walking back to the hut, when he picked up a familiar scent. It wasn't Kikyo's, but before he could realize who's scent it belonged to, it started to rain, washing away the scent of blood.
"Kagome's probably pissed at me...." InuYasha muttered.
~Kikyo....come back to me....~
************************* Kagome woke up from her black out, from the feeling of rain dribbling against her skin. She saw a dagger glimmering in the moonlight, a dagger that was stabbed into her shoulder. And she could also see blood all over her uniform.
"Oh yah..." she muttered weakly. ~I was attacked...~ Kagome closed her eyes. ~InuYasha didn't come to save me....but how could he, he was too busy searching for Kikyo. I can't blame him.....it hurts.....to think that he forgot about me....~
Kagome tried to sit up, but her whole body protested against it. Kagome closed her eyes again and a scene flashed in her mind. The scene of InuYasha hugging Kikyo, then kissing her.
~I'm probably going to die, all I can think of is him...and he'll be the first and last person I think of before I leave this earth. I wonder......if Kikyo would be that person to him. If InuYasha were dying, would he have thought of me?~ Kagome thought, ~I wonder...if I died...would he suffer the my loss as he did for Kikyo? But if I die....I'll never know.....~.
~I'll probably rot here.....and no one would find me.....I'm sorry Mama..But If I do live...I'm going to try and stop loving InuYasha. Loving him will cause InuYasha and Kikyo to be apart....and loving him will hurt me...and probably others~
************************* InuYasha entered the hut, looking depressed.
Sango and Miroku sighed.
"Did you fight with Kagome again?" Shippo asked.
"Kagome.....? No......I was looking for Kikyo..." InuYasha muttered back, feeling a strange feeling.
Miroku and Sango shot up. "WHAT?! THEN WHERE THE HELL IS KAGOME?!"
"WHAT?! ME?! I thought she was here!!!!!" InuYasha yelled.
Everyone turned pale.
"We've been here for hours....when we came back from our trip.....Kagome was not there. So we thought.....that you and her went somewhere...." Sango cried.
~That scent I smelled.....was the blood of Kagome....~ InuYasha realized. InuYasha stumbled back, staring at the floor in shock and disbelief. ~She.......might be dead......because I had gone after Kikyo.....not for any other reason than to see her......and now.....because of that, Kagome might be dead. I was....once again, not able to save her. Because I had chosen Kikyo~
InuYasha ran out of the hut, and into the rain. In search of Kagome. Everyone else also went out in search of Kagome. They all decided to split up.
"KAGOME!" InuYasha yelled, looking for her. The same feeling struck him again. The feeling he had felt the last time he couldn't find Kagome. It had rained then. All he had felt was a great loss, lonliness, and sadness. He had not founf Kagome, but instead, Kikyo ~But if Kagome is dead....no, I'm not going to think like that. She's alive.....she can't die...or else....apart of me....a lot of me, will die with her~
InuYasha cursed the rain, for it made it impossible for him to search for Kagome when there was no scent or signs of where she was.
An hour passed. InuYasha met up with Miroku. He shook his head. Then later he came upon Sango, Kilala and Shippo, they too shook her head.
"InuYasha, you should go in and rest. You're not even wearing much. And your bandage is all bloody...." Sango said.
InuYasha ignored Sango and continued to go in search of Kagome. ~This is all my fault~
As more time went by, the more InuYasha's heart became heavier. His hope started to die out, and he became more desperate.
InuYasha leaned against a tree, and shut his eyes tightly. He clutched his hands into a fist. ~Kagome.....I'm sorry....~ he thought. All hopes lost in finding her.
"KAGOME!!!!!" he cried out loud in pain. ~I have lost....another special person from my life.....and again, like Kikyo, died in bad terms. Kikyo died, thinking that I betrayed her. And Kagome died, thinking that I left her for Kikyo....but...wasn't that exactly what I did....~ InuYasha thought guiltily.
Suddenly, from far away distance he saw a figure leaning on a tree, then unsteadily walking to the next, then leaning on it, then to the next, coming towards him.
InuYasha walked a little towards the figure. His heart thumping with hope. ~Kagome...~ he muttered stretching out his hand towards her, and started to run. "KAGOME!" InuYasha cried, running closer to the figure.
When InuYasha got close enough the person collapsed into his arms. His heart froze, and deep sorrow filled him, as it had felt before.
The person that had collapsed into his arms was not Kagome, but......Kikyo
