*~*Chapter 8: Out of One Hell and into Another*~*
How long Inuyasha had sat there, clutching the body of his friend, even he didn't know. He didn't really care either. Kikyou, on the other hand, was becoming impatiant. He had been sitting there, on the ground, holding that discusting corpse for almost ten minutes! He hadn't even once looked at her! "Inuyasha, let her go. She is dead now. There is nothing you can do for her now." He lay Kagome's body on the ground and looked at Kikyou with bloodshot eyes. Tears continued to silently flow out of his eyes. Kikyou was a bit shocked to find such saddness in his eyes.
"Don't you understand? I just killed her!" He looked at his hands. The claws were caked with dried, crusty blood. Kagome's blood. He hated his hands. He knew it was stupid to hate his own hand, but he did so anyway. He had killed Kagome with his own hands. He started to franticly claw at his hands. "Get it off!! I hate these hands!!!" Inuyasha's hands started to bleed baddly. The undead miko walked over to the crouching hanyou and held his hands, so that he couldn't hurt himself anymore.
"Stop this foolishness Inuyasha!" She pulled him into a small hug. He started to cry into her shirt (or what ever it is. Does anyone know what it's called?). She smiled and comforted him. "It's going to be alright, Inuyasha. I'm here." Kikyou's face then got a very creepy smile. " I will always be here..." A bright light to her right caught her attention. "Shit..."
"Get you bloody hands off of him!!!" Inuyasha stopped crying. That...that voice..it sounded like, but it couldn't be...
"Ka-Kagome?" He turned to see Kagome standing in front of a golden door. Her hair was flowing slightly, and the light comming from the door made her look like some heavenly angel... He sharply let Kikyou go and stood up. Kikyou looked at Kagome with cold, expressionless eyes. "Kagome? Is it, is it really you?" She smiled at him.
"Inuyasha! Your alright. I was worried. I had thought-" But she didn't get any further because Inuyasha had her in a bear hug. Tears rolled down his face as he took in her scent. It was real...she was here. She wasn't dead.. He pulled away and looked at Kagome. "I-Inuyasha? Are you alright?" He let out a soft laugh and nodded.
"I-I thought you were dead." Now it was her turn to laugh.
"Well, sorry to disapoint you, but I'm still alive and kicking!" She gave him one of the cutest smiles he had ever seen.
"I wondered if I would be seeing you, Kagome." Inuyasha jumped. He had forgoten that Kikyou was still there. Kagome let him go and turned to Kikyou.
"What have you done with the others?? You better not have hurt them!!!" Kikyou merely smiled.
"You want to save them? Then go through that cave." She pointed to a small cave about a mile away in the face of a mountain. "But I doubt that you will last that long. For you see, your bodies are slowly being killed. If you arn't dead by the time you reach the cave, your friends most certinly will be." She let out a cold laugh. "Or, you can go through this door," she pointed to a stone door a few feet away from where they stood. "and be assured a chance to live. Of course, you would let your friends die, but you would be alive." She smiled darkly. "Have fun!" And with that, she vanished. Inuyasha walked over to sheathed his father's sword clamly, while Kagome was panicy.
"Oh, my god! Inuyasha! We gotta go! Hurry!" She started to run twards the cave while Inuyasha just stood there. Kagome got really annoyed. "INUYASHA! Get your butt over here! We don't have much time damn it!" Inuyasha turned to her and jumped, landing right in front of her. She was a bit surprized.
"Get on my back, stupid. We will never get anywhere if we have to run." Kagome blushed and got on to his back. *Now, why didn't I think of that?* As soon as she got a firm grip, he hopped off above the treetops. "So, were you really worried about me?" Kagome stared.
"Of course! Why shouldn't I??" Inuyasha didn't respond.
"We are almost there." Kagome looked at the cave. They were about halfway there. *That was faster.*
"So we are. Inuyasha, did you-ahhh!!" Kagome felt a burning pain in her left arm.
"Kagome?!? Are you alright??" He landed and let her off. She was clutching her arm and closed her eyes in pain.
"My arm....It burns..." Inuyasha quickly ripped her sleave to look at her arm. Above her elbow, was a dark red burn.
"Damn it. It looks like your body is being burned by something." He lifted her in his arms. "Your arm is too weak to hold on." Kagome nodded as he took off again. She enjoyed the short ride. Being close to Inuyasha was nice... She smiled and turned her head slightly. Inuyasha stared down at her. *What the hell could she be thinking about???*
They reached the cave in about ten minutes. The burn on Kagome's arm was getting steadly worse. This worried Inuyasha a bit. "Inuyasha! I'm going to be fine! It's nothing, really!" He still didn't beleive her. He fingered the scabard at his side.
"If your sure, then we best get going. The cave wasn't very inviting. It was dark and you couldn't see much. The wind whistled erily through. Kagome shivered.
"Nothing's happening....*sigh* I'm tired, and my arm is killing me!" She leaned on the wall. Suddenly, the wall started to glow a bright light. "Ah!" Inuyasha stepped forward.
"Get behind me. Quickly!" The light be came blinding and then faded. Kagome rubbed her eyes and looked around. "Hn???"
