WARNING: EMOTIONAL AND VIOLENT CONTENT!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Sesshoumaru.
Inuyasha walked through the woods. He wasn't in a hurry and he didn't want to waste his energy when he fought Sesshoumaru. He remembered Kagome and he quickened his pace. Inuyasha whiffed the air. 'Kagome!' Inuyasha thought but then a double whiff made him think twice. It wasn't Kagome, it was Kikyou.
"Stop following me!" Inuyasha yelled into to forest. Kikyou appeared from behind a tree. She had a set of arrows and a bow with her.
"Are you going to defeat Sesshoumaru?" Kikyou asked sullenly. She tightened grip around the bow.
"Why would in concern you?" Inuyasha snapped at her. He crossed his arms and continued walking. Kikyou followed him.
"Can I come?" Kikyou asked. She shuffled her feet nervously.
He stopped, dead in his tracks. "Why?" Inuyasha retorted.
"I want to see Sesshoumaru die with my own eyes." Kikyou replied angrily, she kept her eyes ahead toward their destination. She was going to take her sister back today.
~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-
"Sesshoumaru come out here now!!!" Inuyasha yelled. He looked around for his half brother's form. He was going to kill him today and take Kagome back.
Sesshoumaru perked up from his desk. He had heard his half brother hanyou call him. He rushed to the garden for Inuyasha filthy smell was over there.
Kagome almost dropped the tea cup in her hand. She saw Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru fighting in the garden and Kikyou aiming an arrow somewhere. Kagome, terrified, called out for Sango.
"Sango! Sango! Keep an eye on her highness!" Kagome shouted, rushing out to the courtyard.
~*-~*-~*-~*-
"What do you want now?" An annoyed voice came from the castle. Inuyasha heard Kikyou shuffle from behind him.
"I want to kill you once and for all." Inuyasha replied. He reached for his Tesusgia.
"Feh, lets just see…" Sesshoumaru jumped from the shadow, bearing his sword in front of him.
Inuyasha countered his attack, and stroked the second blow of the battle. Sesshoumaru rebounded, blocking Inuyasha attack with his sword. Sesshoumaru swiped at Inuyasha's chest but he missed. What seemed like hours were only minutes and the two brothers seemed like an even match. Suddenly, an arrow pierced through Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru stopped fighting to see Kikyou aiming for Sesshoumaru again.
"This time it will kill you, guaranteed." Kikyou shouted.
"Wretch! I told you to never step in my castle!" Sesshoumaru growled. Inuyasha smirked and continued to swing at Sesshoumaru.
"Kikyou! Shoot him!" Inuyasha shouted. Kikyou aimed carefully but someone pushed her.
"No, Kikyou don't!" Kagome cried. Kikyou and Kagome struggled to get a hold of the arrow. Kagome winced as Kikyou jabbed her elbow in her wounded shoulder.
"Kagome let go!! I want to free you!" Kikyou shouted, thrusting Kagome aside. Kagome cried in pain as fresh blood poured out of her wound. It had opened again.
Inuyasha notice this and he turned his back on Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru thrust his blade into Inuyasha and pulled it out. Inuyasha howled in pain. He snarled, baring his claws as he jumped back toward Sesshoumaru.
"Never turn your back on me." Sesshoumaru snickered at Inuyasha.
"Feh…" Inuyasha slashed at Sesshoumaru's neck. Sesshoumaru jabbed his claws into Inuyasha's wound. Inuyasha doubled up in pain. He struggled on his feet. He couldn't give up. Another arrow came flying toward Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru notice this and ducked. It hit Inuyasha.
"ARRGHH!!!" Inuyasha growled. Kagome and Kikyou opened their jaws in shock. Kikyou had a dead shot of Sesshoumaru when Kagome had pushed her once more and the shot revered where Sesshoumaru had seen it in time.
"Inuyasha!" Kikyou panicked and ran towards Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru picked up Kagome off the ground. She was still hurt and her wound had opened again. Sesshoumaru fled into the castle.
'Damn wretch…' Sesshoumaru muttered as he set Kagome on her bed. "Sango get me water and cloth!!!" Sesshoumaru unwrapped her bandages and examined her wound. She didn't have to stop the girl. The girl could have of shot twenty arrows and he would not have died. It was just Inuyasha was there at the same time. Inuyasha had gotten a lot stronger. If it wasn't for Kagome and her sister, then maybe Sesshoumaru could have lost to Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru forced that thought out of his mind.
"Sesshoumaru…" Kagome muttered as Sesshoumaru gently wiped away the blood flowing from her wound. Sesshoumaru was startled when she said his name. He looked at her expression on her face. Her eyes were tightly shut and her face was pale with terror written on it.
~*-~*-~*-~*-
"Wretch!" Inuyasha screeched at Kikyou. Kikyou looked away.
"I'm so sorry." Kikyou's voice cracked. She was refraining form breaking down.
"Why did you… Arghh!! I could've beaten him myself!" Inuyasha growled at her. He made a low growling sound from his stomach.
"I just wanted to make sure he died!!!" Kikyou shot at him. She trembled in anger and fear.
"Why? What did Sesshoumaru ever do to you?" Inuyasha looked at her in the eyes.
"He- He… He has Kagome and he won't give her back!" Kikyou said.
"What do you have to do with Kagome?" Inuyasha asked suspiously. Kikyou remained silent. "You're jealous aren't you? You want to kill Kagome."
"Why would I want to do that?" Kikyou shot at Inuyasha.
"Because! I love KAGOME!" Inuyasha shouted in Kikyou's face.
"NO!!!" Kikyou shook her head violently. "NO!!! Kagome is my sister! I would never kill her!!!" Kikyou broke down in loud sobs. "If you love her," Kikyou paused to catch her breath. "Then go save her! GO BE WITH HER!!! I don't care!!" She inhaled deeply, and let out a sob.
"She's your sister???" Inuyasha looked at Kikyou who was on the sobbing on the ground.
Suddenly Kikyou stood up. She pointed a trembling finger at Inuyasha. "I-I…" She let out another sob. Her face was streaked with dirty tears. "I left for you!!! I walked away for YOU!!! If only you understand me!! ME!!!" Kikyou screamed at Inuyasha, little sobs escape from her lips at every other word.
"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha asked.
"I don't know!!!" Kikyou let out a hysterical bawl. "You wouldn't believe me." Kikyou staggered from her stance. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." She whispered before she fell onto the ground, sobbing, clutching her sides for comfort. Her whole body was paralyzed form the tensing nerves.
"What are you talking about? You left me! You left me alone! With my mother! You left me Kikyou! WHY?!"
"And you asked that now?!?" Kikyou laughed bitterly but her crazed laugh soon turned into sobs again. She stood up. "I had to!" Kikyou said.
"Why?"
"Because! Damn it!" Kikyou punched the tree in frustration. "Your… Your… I can't…" Kikyou turned to face Inuyasha. "Would you believe me if I told you your mother told me to stay away from you?" She searched into his eyes.
"I- I don't know." Inuyasha replied, looking away.
"I knew it… I KNEW IT!!!" Kikyou bitterly backed away. She looked hurt and upset. "I KNEW IT!" She screeched as she turned around and ran into the forest. Once again she left Inuyasha alone and hurt in the forest.
~*-~*-~*-~*-
Kagome opened one eye, cold sweat was running down her face. She saw Sesshoumaru with an intense look on his face. A tear slid down her cheek and landed on her pillow next to her ear. She had defied her sister today. Kikyou probably hated her know and it was all Kagome's fault that Inuyasha got shot up Kikyou's arrow. Another tear fell rolled down her face. Sesshoumaru could've died today… Was it easy to kill a youkai? Kagome wondered if Inuyasha could even kill him. Kagome felt a hand wipe her face. Sesshoumaru's hand grazed her cheek up and down.
"I don't like it when you cry." Sesshoumaru said stolidly. His tone wasn't his strong impassive tone though, it was a weaker unemotional tone.
Could Kagome be getting closer to Sesshoumaru? Kagome smiled. Each day, she was getting a little closer to unlocking his heart.
