A/N Thanks to your WONDERFUL REVEIWS I have been inspired to update sooner
than I had planned. Be warned, this chapter is a HUGE CLIFFHANGER!!!
If you want a quick update...I NEED TO SEE LOTS OF REVEIWS!!!!
ArtemisMoon: I would love that necklace..^_^!
Disclaimer: I've stalked, I've threatened, I've sent my favorite hanyou but they won't give me Inu-Yasha! No matter how much I beg.I still don't own Inu-Yasha...(Grumble)
This one is the beginning of a new era of anguish for poor Inu-chan, and the prelude to the end of this bloodbath..but don't worry, this is no where NEAR being done yet!
Chapter 6: Encounter
Kagome walked through the gateway to the village. Happy cries filled the air as Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kaede were alerted to her presence.
"Kagome!!!!!" With an exited shriek, Shippo launched himself onto Kagome. Happily hugging her mid section Shippo cried out "You're back!!!!"
Sango also came running up and seized Kagome in a fierce hug. Tears flew from her eyes as she whispered into Kagome's hair
"You're safe..I was so afraid for you..."
Miroku and Kaede were equally happy for Kagome's return however they were more reserved in their excitement.
Finally Kagome was freed from Sango and Shippo and dragged into Kaede's hut.
"Child, tell us what has transpired since you last saw us." Kaede's voice was soft and encouraging for she realized things were not as they should be.
Suddenly Miroku spoke up.
"Where is Inu-Yasha?"
Kagome looked down in sorrow.
"Kagome-chan.what is wrong?" Sango quietly asked.
When Kagome didn't answer Shippo stood up in rage
"If that idiot hurt you again I'll take him down!!!"
"Calm down Shippo! It wasn't Inu-Yasha that hurt me.it was."
A large crash followed by screams of terror cut off Kagome's words. They jumped up and ran outside to see what had caused such a panic.
**********
It was the next morning and with the rising of the sun Inu-Yasha awoke to find himself still in his mother's house. He lay still for awhile thinking over the past evening.
'Kagome...I still don't know why...but I hope you are happy. At least I can still come home even though without love here it's really just a relic of the ancient past.'
With that thought Inu-Yasha stood up and walked to the entrance. Pushing aside the vines that hid the entrance from view, Inu-Yasha stared out at the dawning day. He watched as the sun's light reflected off the leaves but cast deep shadows in the darker parts of the forest.
'That's how it was...we were just like the forest at dawn. She was the light that made the leaves sparkle and I was the deep forest that craved the light.'
Just then a blur in the corner of his eye brought him out of his musings, he focused his golden eyes on the sight and they widened in horror as he registered what he saw. A force of centipede demons and kumashiro were attacking the village! Inu-Yasha jumped down from the entrance way and into the trees. Leaping from tree to tree at top speed, he raced off toward the village.
'Sango, Shippo, Miroku, Kaede, Kirara! Their all in the village! Even if I am not wanted, worthless.I can't let them be hurt if I can help them!'
********** "Demons!" Kaede cried out. "The village will be destroyed!"
"Kuso! I no longer have my Air Void! I can't fight so many!" Miroku cried out in anguish as he witnessed destruction he hoped had died with the Shikon no Tama's completion.
'Not again..I won't stand for another village to be killed!' Sango thought with a vengence "No matter what we must at least try to win!"
"Right!" Miroku agreed and they sprang into action. But before they could reach the demons, a flash of red and a vengeful cry stopped them in their tracks.
********** Inu-Yasha gained the edges of the village. With a cry he leapt into the center of the village.
"Soul Exorcising Claws!" Inu-Yasha cried out the attacks name as he sent his claws through the nearest demon. Drawing the Tetsusaiga he cried out to all the demons, channeling his anguish into a fierce power.
"I will not let you hurt them! I will protect this village until I no longer draw breath!"
With that binding oath, Inu-Yasha realeased the full power of the Tetsusaiga and blew away the hundred demons gathered there in one devastating blow.
As the smoke cleared, the villagers breathed sighs of relief. Thanks to Inu- Yasha, no one had died that day.
'Even if I can't be loved..I can still protect this town! This is where my only worth lies..but Kagome, why did you..no! This is too much! I can't fight without her here! It doesn't feel right..even protecting these people is not the same as protecting the one I love.even though she hates me...'
Inu-Yasha stood in the middle of town holding the Tetsusiaga in a clenched fist. His head bowed as he fought with thoughts that threatened to overwhelm him once again.
Then, a voice called out to him, the light calling the dark, "Inu-Yasha?"
Kagome's tentative voice rang out through the square.
Inu-Yasha tensed, turning slowly his eyes fell upon Kagome and widened in renewed suffering.
'Must she come back now to prove her point yet again? I can't take anymore!'
Kagome's heart clenched as she saw the intense pain and fear in those golden orbs. It broke her heart to know she had done this him.
Inu-Yasha let the Tetsusaiga fall from his fingers. His ears drooped and his posture slumped just a bit but it showed the physical effects of this colossal hurt bestowed upon him by a cruel twist of fate. His voice carried all his pain and suffering as he let of a anguished whisper.
"Kagome.."
