I Wish It Was Different
Ch. 9: "Forgiveness, Then Hate"
"Inu Yasha! I'm ready to forgive you!"
Then everything happened at once. The woman heard the sound of wind being sliced, then a terrible pain in her back,
right between the shoulder blades. Kagome felt the pain shoot up and down her back, then spread all over her body.
Kagome turned around, and saw someone she wished she didn't see in a million life times.
Kikyo.
The dead miko was holding a bow in a shooting position, however, her weapon was already shot, and imbedded in between
Kagome's shoulder blades. Kikyo stared back at Kagome with eyes colder than absolute zero temperature.
Suddenly, Kikyo smirked.
That was when Kagome felt someone, very fast mind you, stab her in the back. Kagome was in so much pain, she couldn't hold
her own weight any more. She sank, crippled to the ground. A pair of bare feet filled her vision, accompanied by thick,
red pants.
He looked down at her. His yellow eyes cold, the a look of disgust, then an evil smirk. He brought his blood stained hand
up to his lips and licked the blood off. Her blood. Kagome was still crippled upon the ground, and she looked up, her face
etched with unknown pain, and sadness.
"I-Inu... Yasha.... you betrayed.... me...?"
Inu Yasha made a sound that sounded like a stifled snort, then turned into full laughing, and Kikyo joined in as well.
"I-Inu..... Yasha.... you betrayed..... me?" Kikyo mocked Kagome's previous statement. "Oh, I feel your pain, child!"
Then both started to laugh again. Kagome put her face to the ground. Pain, like she never felt before and was not caused
by her wounds, filled her heart, almost choking off her air supply.
"Baka!" Inu Yasha exclaimed. "I don't need you! But what I do need is your death!"
Just when Inu Yasha was about to bring down the final blow, Kikyo stopped him. Inu Yasha looked at her with a questioning
look.
"I want to finnish her off myself." Kikyo proclaimed.
Inu Yasha stepped out of the way.
"Go ahead."
Kikyo moved over to Kagome's side, lifted her up by her long, healthy black hair, and made Kagome face her, face to face.
The pain between Kagome's shoulder blades was compounded, as well as the wound in her lower back that Inu Yasha gave her.
"You will rest yourself, treat your wounds, and come back here tomorrow." Kikyo told Kagome, then slammed her face back
into the golden grass.
Kagome felt the pain in her forehead. Kikyo and Inu Yasha walked away from the wounded Kagome. After they left, Kagome felt
pure rage, bitterness, and hate fill her heart. She screamed while reaching behind her and ripped out the arrow from the
middle of her back. The rage and hate numbed the pain.
And all Kagome could think of was to kill.
Inu Yasha stared up at the stars , and the moon was beginning to show a sliver of her face. The stars were more prettier
though. His ears twitched as he heard a movement behind him. And judging by the way the movement moved, it was Sanbi.
Sure enough, Sanbi came out of the clearing, dressed in heavy clothing to block out the biting cold of the night. She sat
next to Inu Yasha, not too close, yet close enough to make her heart pound wildly in her chest.
"Daijobu?" Inu Yasha asked Kagome's granddaughter.
At first, she didn't answer for a moment, but then she spoke up.
"I had a bad dream."
Inu Yasha remained silent, knowing Sanbi was going to tell him any way.
"I had a dream Anma-chan was out in a meadow, bleeding very badly, the golden grass circled around her, and she had the
most evil kind of hatred in her eyes."
Sanbi started to cry. Inu Yasha didn't know what to do, so he just put a hand on her shoulder, which made Sanbi fall into
his chest, sobbing her heart out. Through the muffled sounds, he could hear Sanbi speak again.
"Anma-chan doesn't need that hatred in her eyes. Sure, I only knew her when her eyes were filled with pain and depression,
but I saw true happiness in them when you held her. For the first time since I have known her, she had utter happiness in
her eyes, and I saw, for a brief moment, the Kagome you knew."
Inu Yasha didn't know how to answer to that, so he just wrapped his arms around her, but not before checking to see if
anyone was around. Sanbi pulled herself away, and wiped her tears away. A pain of sadness hit Inu Yasha's heart when he
saw Sanbi suffering so much.
"I had a dream once." Inu Yasha told her out of the blue.
Sanbi looked at him with a questioning look, begging him to continue.
"In the dream I was..."
*Flashback.*
Inu Yasha tried to peer into the darkness, but it pressed against him. It was hard for the hanyou to breath because of
the thickness of the dark surrounding him.
"W-What are you doing here?!" Kagome demanded of the hanyou.
The half demon just turned around to face Kagome.
She looked so much like Kikyo, but there was a distinct difference in her. Her heart was pure, but Inu Yasha could tell
she was trying to hold on to that one little bit of hope. Hope that was wavering, almost about to break. He instinctively
knew who she was.
"Kagome?" the demon asked in slight confusion.
He walked up close to Kagome, and embraced her shortly, then let her go.
"Please, Kagome. Please come back to me. I miss you terribly!"
Suddenly, the woman stopped and looked behind her shoulder, as if hearing something. She turned back to Inu Yasha.
"I will go back to living. But not for you. For my child."
Inu Yasha was utterly shocked. *Her child?! What was she talking about?!* Just then, she started to disappear.
Inu Yasha leapt toward the woman, who now fully disappeared, and Inu Yasha fell to the ground.
"No! Kagome! Come back, Kagome! Don't leave me alone! Please!"
But no answer came to the hanyou. And he fell to the floor again, tears streaming down his cheeks.
*End of Flashback*
Sanbi remained silent even after he spoke. What could she say? Tell him that Kagome dreamt the same exact dream? That
Kagome dreamed about him day and night, month after month, year after year?
Inu Yasha looked at Sanbi again.
"What is the reason for your loneliness?" Inu Yasha asked her.
Sanbi turned and looked at him, very bewildered. She had to ponder the question before she could answer.
"I'm mostly ignored at home. I mean, my father hardly acknowledges that I exist. When we were cremating my sister, he
looked down at me and said, 'It should have been you, Sanbi.' "
Inu Yasha couldn't say anything.
"What about your mother?" he finally asked.
"At least she does know I'm there. But I just wish I had someone to love in my life."
Inu Yasha felt terrible after that.
Sesshomaru traveled through the forest, along with his followers, Rin and Jaken (AN: Sorry, peoplez! Just had to put
Sess-chan in here since I'm starting to become a Sess fan! Especially after that episode where he pulls down half of his
kimono!! *drool* @.@)
"Sesshomaru-sama! Look!" Rin yelled, and pointed a finger at an object.
"We do not have time for that, Rin." the youkai lord exclaimed and walked on.
"But it's a woman! And she's hurt badly!"
"I also do not have time to--"
"Sesshomaru-sama! It is that bitch that always travels with that worthless half breed!" Jaken exclaimed.
Sesshomaru walked over to the woman laying in the grass. The moonlight shined down on her face. The youkai felt very
hesitant to help this woman, especially a human, but he started to wonder. Where was that worthless half brother of his
when his bitch was almost dead?
"Jaken!"
"Yes, Sesshomaru-sama?"
"Carry the girl to the place I will choose to rest. And be careful of her wounds."
"But Sessho--"
And the toad was cut short by Sesshomaru's glare of death. The toad looked down, defeated.
"As you wish, Sesshomaru-sama."
The toad had to carry Kagome by the shoulders, while the rest of her lower body dragged on the ground, until Rin came and
picked her feet up.
"Augh! She is heavy!" the little girl complained.
Kagome woke up, even when it was night time, and the first one she saw was the toad youkai, Jaken. She imediatly jumped to
her feet, and kicked the toad as hard as she could. Jaken went soring through the air, his scream becoming fainter, and
fainter, and finally, he landed with what sounded like a soft thud from a distance.
"I see you are awake." a calm voice told her.
"Yea! Rin so glad you got rid of mean toad!" a little girl yelled excitedly.
"Sesshomaru." Kagome said in a dead tone.
"I want nothing from you female human. But I just want to know where my half brother is, and why you are not with him."
"I am no longer traveling with that hanyou!"
Sesshomaru was shocked, but did not show it. How can someone who loved another so much all of a sudden hate them?
"And what has he done to you?"
"That is none of your concern. However, I will say this; His death will not be by your hand, but by mine."
After that statement she walked off, leaving both Sesshomaru and Rin in bewilderment.
"That bastard will pay!" Kagome exclaimed.
Else where, Inu Yasha let out a big sneeze.
"Damn it! Someone's talking shit about me!"
To Be Continued.....
Ch. 10: "Showdown: Kagome vs. Kikyo"
Here she was, fighting a powerful miko, unarmed. Was she crazy or what?!
*Kami! How am I going to get out of this alive?!*
Okay peoplez! Here is the BIG question! *drum roll*
BIG QUESTION: Should Kagome kill Kikyo, or let her live?

results! ^_^
Dark VisioN: I'm sorry. It was sick, wasn't it? And it also happened to a friend of mine, too. T_T
Siren: Uh... are you going to flame me for this chapter? I have this fear of flamers ever since another friend posted a
fic under the category of "Marmalade Boy" (she's the one who got me to like it! ^_^), then she got flamed out of existence.
She never wrote another fic after that, too.
Animaniac Girl: I'm sorry about Buyo. But you will find out, either next chapter, or the chapter after that on if that was
the real Inu or not. I have to make it first. But the question is place out there, so please get your vote in!! ^_^ And
Grampa didn't know Kagome wasn't a virgin because Kagome never told anyone. Even Sanbi, but she kinda figured it out by
herself.
Clump: I'm sorry about Buyo... T_T Here's the next chapter, please place your vote!
Trunks Gal: I'm sorry about Buyo.... T_T how many times have I said that?! And thanx for not flaming!! If you look at
Siren's response, you will find out why I'm afraid of flamers!! ^_^()
QueenPiscies: Next chapter will come as soon as I get the results, so please cast your vote!! ^_^
Hyperactive Kitsune: Yes. I'm surprised I haven't been flamed yet for making everybody's hopes go down and up, down and
up!!
notaningen: You know something, I should have put down that he died a gruesome and painful death. But let's pretend that
he did, k? ^_^
Clump: I'm working as hard as I can. ^_^
Queen of Blades: As place your vote, I can update. Please? ^_^
DoggiePerson: I would do that. Thank you so much for the future reference! Hope you learn more about Inu Yasha soon!! ^_^ Good luck to you!!
