Chapter Three: The Truth Revealed
Dead?
Kagome starred in the distance, in complete shock.
Dead?
Her heart pounded fiercely against her chest. Her breathing became very hard, and her head began to sweat.
Dead?
Her eyes became glazed with tears, and then she let it out. Her tears flowed down her face, and hit the dirt beneath her knees. Her whole body began to shake. She struggled to force her eyes to look at her hands. Her hands were shaking like she was freezing. She shook her head back and forth.
"Ugh."
The tears flew in all directions. She jumped up.
"Ugh! No! He's not dead!"
She leaped for Kikyo.
"I can feel him! He's not dead!"
She closed her fist in a tight, solid ball, aiming for the dead maiden.
"DO YOU HERE ME?!"
Kikyo smirked at the girl who was thundering toward her. She easily shifted from the attack.
"You hopeless fool. I shall kill thee just as I did to that vile hanyou, Inuyasha. You made a big mistake choosing to attack me like that. Now ye shall perish."
Kikyo's eyes filled with flames. She slowly began to raise her bow. Kagome gasped.
"Ugh!"
"Now, prepare yourself. Ye will no longer cause me trouble."
Kikyo leveled the bow to match the level of Kagome's heart. Kagome panicked.
Wait! Maybe.the jewel! Yes! Maybe.just maybe.I'll use the Shikkon no Tama.
Kagome quickly reached for the jewel that hung around her neck, fastened to a gold chain. She held the jewel tightly in her hand.
"This must work!"
She lowered her head and closed her eyes. A single tear fell from her face. It sparkled as it hit the sacred jewel, causing it to light up. The jewels light filled the land. Kikyo continued to prepare her bow, however she was a little stunned by this act of hers, but she wouldn't let anything stop her from killing the girl who changed everything between her and Inuyasha.
"Get ready."
The arrow that Kikyo pulled out from the sack on her back glowed with a brought white light.
"My silver arrow shall destroy you."
Kagome whispered, "Please, I must be protected so I can save Inuyasha. I don't believe that he's dead. I won't."
The light from the jewel became even larger. The light swallowed Kagome in it. Inuyasha. I'm coming for you. I know you're alive. I just know it!
Suddenly, she heard a faint voice. She tried to dig deeper into the jewels power. The voice became louder. She heard the voice in her head.
Kagome, please don't give up on me. I'm still here; you just need to find me. Believe in yourself, and I know you can find me. I believe in you. She saw several images of him and her flash before her eyes.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome leaped forward. "You're not going to hurt me! I.I LOVE HIM!"
At this sudden movement, Kikyo shot her arrow. The silver arrow shot through the air at amazing speed. A large flame engulfed the tip of the arrow.
"YOU ARE NOT GOING TO KILL ME!"
Kagome dodged the arrow easily. Kikyo was mesmerized at the sight. She stepped back.
"How.how could the arrow have missed her?"
Kagome launched her body at Kikyo. She hit her head on, causing her to drop to the ground, unconscious. Kagome stood up and starred at the motionless body that lay behind her.
"Now, I'm going to find Inuyasha." Suddenly, her body turned a dark cornflower blue. It began to disappear. "Hm?" She vanished.
Inuyasha lay on the ground, the sacred arrow planted in his chest. His smooth hair covered his pale face. Up in the sky, the clouds were stirring. Rain began to fall to the earth. His hair was removed from his face and hit the ground. The cold rain cleansed his dirty face. He looked so peaceful.
"Huh? Where am I?"
Kagome appeared in front of a large tree that drooped from the heavy rainfall. She quickly became drenched with the icy water. The Shikkon No Tama swallowed back up the bright light that had surrounded her. She dropped to the ground and sighed.
"Man, I never wanna do that again."
She placed her head on her head. Suddenly, something caught her attention.
"Hmm?"
She concentrated on a small blur in he distance. The heavy rain made it even more difficult to see.
What's that? It looks like a fox, or maybe a demon.
She slowly rose to her feet, shivering from the water.
"Burr! It's so cold!"
She wrapped her pale arms around her body, trying to produce some heat. She slowly walked over to the figure. Her feet were sinking in the deep mud that was caused from the sudden rain.
It's red.
She closed in on the figure. When she gained full visibility of what it was, she gasped.
"Ugh!"
She dashed forward, dropping to the ground by the side of the red figure.
"Inuyasha!"
