Chapter 3: Why is she so Special?

Kagome was having a lot of difficulty fighting her way through the thick brush of the forest. She was angered by the fact that Inuyasha not only loved Kikyo and not her, but also he wouldn't even take her with him when he went to go see her. 'What's so special about Kikyo?' Kagome thought angrily to herself.

"What am I saying? Of course he loves Kikyo, she's all he ever needed." Kagome said softly slapping herself across the face. 'She's strong and pretty…' Kagome thought sadly.

"I thought I'd find you here." Kikyo said coming out of the brush.

"K-Kikyo!" Kagome said softly.

"You're here, but where's Inuyasha?" Kikyo asked herself.

"Humph, like I'd ever come with him!" Kagome said angrily.

"You are so easily angered at one mere statement, it's no wonder he hasn't told you how he truly feels about you yet." Kikyo sneered.

"What do you mean by that?" Kagome asked curiously.

"If you weren't such a fragile person, Inuyasha would've made you his mate long ago. But instead he waited and now I'm back, and he's confused about how he's supposed to feel." Kikyo said closing in on Kagome.

"I don't quiet follow." Kagome said backing away slightly.

"Fool. You are constantly risking Inuyasha losing you. He hasn't quite grasped the fact that I am merely a dead corpse roaming the earth. And on top of that, I am working for his sworn enemy. He's an idiot if he thinks he can have us both." Kikyo said while inching ever closer.

"I don't get it, Kikyo. I thought you two loved each other, why won't you let Inuyasha get close to you. You aren't just a dead corpse to him, he still loves you. Trust me, I know from the look in his eyes whenever he speaks of you, he truly does love you." Kagome said backing into a bush. Now, if Kikyo tried to abduct her, she would be helpless to resist. Kikyo stopped and looked as though she was in deep thought. If Kagome had had any intentions to escape, this would've been the ideal time, but she stayed however. She strangely felt that she had to comfort Kikyo.

"Kagome, do you know what love is to him?" Kikyo asked suddenly. Kagome was taken aback by the sudden question.

"What do you mean?" Kagome asked.

"He is a half demon, he only wishes to make one of us his mate so that he can have children that will grow up and become powerful demons as well. That's all he wants you or I for, a mate that is capable of baring him a child."

"You're wrong, Kikyo. Inuyasha is as capable of love as you or I." Kagome said passionately.

"So it is true. You have fallen in love with him." Kikyo said smiling. Kikyo's sudden assumption was unnerving Kagome. She had never actually truly thought that she had fallen in love with Inuyasha. She had been told it many times, but hearing it from Kikyo seemed to make it the truth.

"What does it matter? You were in love with him once as well." Kagome said with a scared tone.

"It will make it that much easier to lure him to Naraku. If you love him and he loves you, then he won't let you die. That is if he can save your life without dying himself." Kikyo sneered.

"I knew it, you came to kidnap me." Kagome said trying to find a way to get past Kikyo. Through their conversation, Kagome hadn't noticed how much Kikyo had advanced on her.

"I didn't go anywhere, you came so willingly into the trap I had set for Inuyasha." Kikyo said reaching out and grabbing Kagome's hair.

"Lemme go!" Kagome began to scream. She opened her mouth to call out for Inuyasha, but then thought to herself, 'Wait, if I call out for Inuyasha that will just prove how weak I am. If I want to gain any of Inuyasha's respect, then I'll have to get out of this one by myself. Besides, Inuyasha wouldn't care if I was in trouble, he just cares if Kikyo is in any kind of trouble.'

Kagome began to thrash wildly and succeeded in getting loose. She was violently grabbed around the waist. 'What an amazingly strong grip' Kagome thought to herself. She threw her elbow back, but Kikyo dodged and proceeded to knock Kagome unconscious.

"Foolish girl. She would've been wise to call out for Inuyasha, but she didn't." Kikyo said in slight disbelief. 'Inuyasha must really make her feel like she's weak. She didn't call out to him because she wanted to prove a point, undoubtedly.'

Kikyo slung Kagome over her shoulder and proceeded to Naraku's castle.

*fin

I wonder what Naraku has planned for Kagome? Please tell me what you think.
