Chapter 3 :
KIKYOU TO KAGOME
(KIKYOU AND KAGOME)
Where am I?
Kagome opens her eyes and finds herself in a dark place.
She slowly gets up and looks around.She figures that she was in a cave.
Where is......Inuyasha?
"So you finally woke up..."said a voice beside her.Kagome turns around to look and finds Kikyou sitting beside her.
"Ki...Kikyou..."
Kikyou stares at Kagome with a curious expression.
Kagome looks at the huge rock blocking the exit of the cave.She reaches to get an arrow but finds that it was empty.
"It looks like we have to wait here until Inuyasha comes to rescue you,"said Kikyou who also finds that she doesn't have anymore arrows.
"Me?"said Kagome pointing to herself.
"Who else?Inuyasha has chosen you instead of me.He likes you but not me.I just bet that even though he comes...it is not to rescue me...but...you,"said Kikyou with a sad expression.
"Ma..matte,Kikyou.Chi...Chigau no.Inuyasha wa...(Wa..Wait,Kikyou.It's...It's not that.Inuyasha...)"Kagome hesitates to talk but then gathers up her courage.
"Inuyasha wa..anata no koto ga suki nano.Inuyasha wa watashi yori...anata wo erandano(Inuyasha.....loves you.Inuyasha chooses you instead of me.)"
Kikyou's expression didn't change after hearing this.
"Th..The time when I saw...Inuyasha hug you...and heard that he will always protect you,I thought......I lost.I knew that Inuyasha would have chosen you instead of me,but..but..I was scared.I was afraid of what might come out of his mouth.I...I didn't know what to do."Kagome tightened lips as tears flowed down her cheeks.
"That's when I realized that I loved Inuyasha so much.I even thought that you(Kikyou) could just disappear or that you never had existed and I would be able to keep Inuyasha all by myself."
Kikyou continues to stare at Kagome while listening to her.
"But...when I thought about you,Inuyasha,and me....I realized something what you and me have in common,"Kagome said
"And what is that?"Kikyou asked
Kagome looks up at Kikyou and smiles sadly.
"...to see Inuyasha again with my own eyes."
Kikyou's eyes widen when she heard those words.Kagome continues with her talking,
"It doesn't matter how long it takes.Just once.... to see Inuyasha again.That's what we have in common.You and I...we both wanted to see Inuyasha again..even though it's just once...because...we love him,"said Kagome
Kikyou stares at the ground for a while.".....Kagome....,everybody knows that you have a power even I don't have.A power that is so strong,no one is able to break it.Naraku and Inuyasha knows it...............even I admit that you have a very special power."
Kikyou walks towards the exit of the cave where the rock is blocking.
"Maybe...Maybe I was having jealousy over you.Maybe I was scared that you might take Inuyasha away from me....."Kikyou said as she looks back at Kagome
"Kikyou..."
Outside the cave,
"Hiraikotsu!!!!"
Hiraikotsu hits the rock blocking the cave.It comes flying back towards Sango and she caught it.
"It's no use!!!No matter how much I try it,it won't break!I mean,I can't even chip a piece off!!"shouted Sango towards Miroku
"What should we do?We need to hurry and rescue Kagome-sama and Kikyou- sama,"
The heard a big sound behind them and saw Inuyasha running towards them raising Tetsusaiga up.
"You guys take care of Naraku for a while!!!!"shouted Inuyasha
"KAZE NO KIZU!!!!!!!!"
The force of ken-atsu destroys the rock into pieces.
"Kagome~~~!!!Kikyou~~!!!!"shouted Inuyasha running into the cave.
Kikyou and Kagome looks around to see Inuyasha dashing towards them.
"Inu.."
Kagome's eyes widen as she saw Inuyasha running pass her and stops to where Kikyou is.
Inuyasha?
"Kikyou..are you alright?"asks Inuyasha to Kikyou
"Why...Why do you care about me?Don't you hate me?I tried to kill you.."said Kikyou backing away from him.
Inuyasha grabs Kikyou's arm and pulls her into his chest.
"How could I hate you!!?Didn't I tell you that I will protect you no matter what happens!!!?Kikyou!!!"shouted Inuyasha as he hugs Kikyou into his arms
"Let go,Inuyasha!I told you to let go!!"
Kikyou struggles to be free but then later she quiets down and stayed in his arms.
Kagome who was watching this, slowly turns around and walks out of the cave.Her hair covers her eyes.She meets Miroku and Sango outside of the cave.
"Kagome-chan!Were you alright?"asks Sango
"Where is Kikyou-sama?"Miroku asks her as he looks inside the cave,"...And Inuyasha?"
He heard Kagome mumbling something but didn't quite catch what she said.
"Pardon?"he asked
"No...nothing.It's...nothing.,..."said Kagome with sad eyes and walks away from them.
Suddenly,a pair of arms snatched her tightly and picks her up from the ground.
"Ita!!!(Ouch)"shouted Kagome
She looks up and sees Naraku's face up close.
"Kyaaa~~!!!!!Naraku!!!!"screamed Kagome
"Kukuku...kisama no okage de Sesshoumaru wo waga teni wa dekinakatta,kono kutsujoku,jyuubai nishite kaeshitekureruzo.(I wasn't able to get Sesshoumaru in my hands because of you,you'll get paid ten times for doing this)"said Naraku
Kagome looks down at the cave.
"Inuyasha~~~!!!Help me!!!Inu..."Kagome stops shouting and then closes her eyes.
'What am I thinking?Inuyasha won't come to save me.All he wanted to do was to be with Kikyou....'Kagome thought
"Kuku...What's wrong?Aren't you going to call Inuyasha for help?"said Naraku with a smug on his smile.
"No I won't..."Kagome said as tears appear on her face."I'm not scared of you!!!I'm not calling Inuyasha for help!!I can beat you all by myself!!!"
"Hou...Let's see if you can,"said Naraku and then lets go of her.Kagome starts falling towards the ground.
'I'm not scared....I'm not scared..'Kagome thought as her body heads straight towards the ground.Kagome closes her eyes waiting for something to happen.Then she felt something lifting her body up.'Inuyasha!!?'Kagome looks up to see Sesshoumaru carrying her and dropping her to the ground.
Kagome fell on her knees as she stares at Sesshoumaru.
"Se...sshoumaru.."said Kagome surprised
"You're in the way.You stay here and just cry for help like what ningens are suppose to do,"said Sesshoumaru and flies off to charge at Naraku.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!!!!"
He suddenly heard a voice and turns around.
Rin comes out of the bushes."I saw the castle dissolving and...and..I thought...that..."Rin who was happy to see Sesshoumaru alive starts crying.
"Rin..."said Sesshoumaru
Naraku who also sees Rin thought of something.'She'll be a good prey..'
One of his arms heads straight towards Rin."Kyaaa~~~~~!!!!!!"
Rin opens her eyes to see Sesshoumaru standing in front of her taking the blow.His expression was still cold as usual."Se,..sshoumaru-sama?"
"Rin...are you alright?"asks Sesshoumaru
"U...unn(Ye..yes)"
Sesshoumaru turns around to look at Naraku.Rin makes a horrified expression.There was a big scratch on Sesshoumaru's back and blood was dripping from it.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!!You're hurt!!"shouted Rin as tears appear on her eyes.
"This is nothing....,you hide behind some trees,Rin."said Sesshoumaru
"But..."
"Now!"
Rin runs behind some trees and looks at Sesshoumaru with a worried expression.
Sesshoumaru-sama....please don't die..
Inuyasha and Kikyou comes out of the cave.
"What were you doing in there Inuyasha?Mating with a human I see...."said Sesshoumaru
"Wha....What'd you say,Sesshoumaru!!?"shouted Inuyasha
"Hmph...."
"Kukuku...Inuyasha.You should always be careful of what you're protecting.."said Naraku
"What!!!?"
Inuyasha raises up Tetsusaiga and charges towards Naraku.
"KAZE NO KIZU!!!!!!!!!"
The force of Tetsusaiga slashes Naraku's body but Naraku shows no expression of panic.Inuyasha saw something passing right beside him."Wha...!?"
He turns around to see one of Naraku's arm heading straight towards Kikyou.
"Kikyou!!!!!!!!!!"shouted Inuyasha and starts heading towards her.
"Kuku.....too late.."
Kikyou watches in horror and then closes her eyes.She felt some warm liquid splashing on her.
"What?"Kikyou looks up to see Kagome in front of her.Everybody makes a surprised face.
"Ka..Kagome-sama,"said Miroku who was awed
"Kagome-chan!"shouted Sango running to her.
Naraku's arm has pierced right through her(Kagome's) stomach.
Kagome looks back to see Kikyou who was awed and surprized by this and smiles sadly at her.She slowly collapses to the ground.
"KAGOME~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"shouted Inuyasha surprisedly.
