~I do not own Inuyasha in any way shape or form. If I did, I wouldn't be writing fanfic~ :P

Chapter 3



She looked up into Inuyasha's eyes, and pulled back the arrow. Inuyasha stood there, waiting for the piercing arrow to puncture and seal him, as Kikyo did, but nothing came. He opened his eyes to see 2 feet away from him in a tree, the arrow Kagome shot. "No, that's not possible, she should be at our complete will." Kikyo thought to herself. "How could I have underestimated her." Kikyo walked up to Kagome and stared at her in the eyes, something that would make any mere mortal back down and shiver with fear. But Kagome stood there and returned with a fiery gaze of her own. She had fought to keep from hurting Inuyasha, and wouldn't back down now. "Well Kagome, it seems like you made a mistake, how about we try that again." Kikyo said with her chilling voice. Kagome felt again the pressure seep back into her mind, forcing her thoughts out. She felt herself grab into her bag and get another arrow out. But yet again when she shot it, it missed Inuyasha by a few feet. This kept going on until Kagome was out of arrows, and exhausted with fighting Kikyo.

Kikyo couldn't understand how this mere girl had kept her out of her mind. She was tiring and so was the girl, but she couldn't let her weakness show now. She walked up to Kagome, and put her deathly pale and cold hand on her shoulder, impairing her from any movement. "So, you dare to defy me still?" she asked staring Kagome into the eyes. Kagome stood there silent against Kikyo's tormenting. "No answer? Fine, I'm going to give you two choices. You can either take your last chance and kill Inuyasha now, or you can pay for my suffering with your life." Kagome let this sink into her head.she loved Inuyasha, and he was her one and only weak point. Kikyo knew she would do anything for him, even if it meant sacrificing herself. "Well?" Kikyo asked again. "I won't let you hurt Inuyasha, take me and do whatever, just don't harm him Kikyo." Kagome said in a low and brave voice. "Well then, have it your way." Kikyo said as she took hold of Kagome's hand and pulled her off, deeper into the forest.

~Author's Note~ I'd like to appologize for my lack of updating this past week. I had to get my wisdom teeth out which cause some unexpected lack of upadating :( but to make up for it, I'm going to write like crazy now and make my chapters lots longer. Thanks to all who reviewed for me, seeing that people are actually reading really helps motivate me :)
