Yo readers! Sorry for the not-so-quick updates! I've just been busy. Don't
worry though, I love writing this story, so I still will be updating as
OFTEN as I can. This week and last week was just SO busy! Anyway...on to
the fic.
Disclaimer: I disclaim inuyasha, who is disclaimed by disclaimers everywhere.
--------------------------------------------------------------Wait, what chapter is it again?
Meanwhile...
Inuyasha darted through the trees, taking in every scent and following the now somewhat weak scent of Kagome. Suddenly, the wind changed direction, and he caught the whiff another scent.....another FAMILIAR scent. Stiffening, he stopped, landing in a small clearing. Kikyou appeared silently, and aggressively, she ran up to him and kissed him. Inuyasha's eyes opened in surprise as he looked upon his former love. What he didn't see though was the light enveloping them.
Kikyou smirked inwardly. (Well, she couldn't do it while she was kissing him, could she?) Her spell was working, she thought as he relaxed and responded to her kiss.
Kagome grasped the cloth of Sessshoumaru's kimono. She could somehow sense that they were nearing Inuyasha. Why did she sense him? She asked herself for the billionth time. This had never happened before.
Sesshoumaru was totally concentrated on his task. Take the sword, Kill the hanyou, keep the girl. She would be his, but would she accept him as her master? His thoughts were interrupted as he smelled his half brother. He was about to tell Kagome, but he noticed that she was tense already. She must sense him too.
Sesshoumaru landed quietly a small distance from where his nose directed the hanyou to be. Kagome got off his back silently and together they creeped up to Inuyasha. Hiding behind a small bush, Kagome took a deep breath. She parted the branches enough to allow her to see through. Sesshoumaru, although it was extremely unlike his character, peered through too. Kagome's face turned ghost-white as she saw Inuyasha and Kikyou kissing in the middle of the clearing. Her mind raced. No wonder she could sense him! He was with the person whom she was the reincarnation of! She backed up quickly. No. She couldn't do this. She couldn't handle it. Standing up, she ran away as fast as she could. Sesshoumaru ran after her and caught her hand.
"Where are you going?" He whispered quietly into her ear.
"AWAY!" She shouted, struggling to free herself from his grasp. Unfortunately for her, she couldn't get away. The image of Inuyasha and Kikyou kept flashing through her mind as she slowly shrunk to the ground. Her hair shielded her face, and as Sesshoumaru leaned down, he saw that she was crying. This was unsatisfying to him. None of this fit into his plan. Perhaps a change of plans was in order.
Sesshoumaru grabbed Kagome's shoulders and forced her to look up at him.
"You are going to go out there and face my idiot brother." He growled as she opened her mouth. "I don't care what you say. This isn't about you. Its about me getting the Tetsuaiga. For now you will have to deal with your weak human emotions."
Kagome looked at him. He was being so..cruel. 'Wait, Isn't he supposed to be cruel in the first place?' She asked herself. Her face went blank as she decided to follow Sesshoumaru's advice..er....orders. She still couldn't help but feel hurt by his words. She thought that he had cared about her just a little bit. But now she came to realization that she was just his hostage. This thought made her throat hurt. She slowly stood and walked forward, keeping her head down. Reaching the clearing, She stopped and looked through the trees. They were still kissing. How much more of this did she have to take?
A rock whizzed past Kagome's head, thrown by Sesshoumaru. It hit Inuyasha on the head causing him to break the kiss. Sesshoumaru leaped up and, in one swift motion, he grabbed Kagome and jumped into the clearing. Landing in front of Inuyasha, the demon lord put his claws to the girl's neck. Kagome was afraid of what he might do. She didn't understand it. She had never really feared this moment. But now she did.
Inuyasha growled at Sesshoumaru.
"What do you want, Sesshoumaru?"
"The Tetsuiga, brother. The girl for the sword.
"I'll never give you the Tetsuaiga!" Inuyasha spat, and Sesshoumaru dropped Kagome and unsheathed his sword. The two began fighting furiously. Kagome backed up and stood behind a tree. It wasn't much of protection, but she couldn't think of anything else.
And everyone forgot about Kikyou.
The undead priestess smirked. Now was the perfect time to kill her reincarnation so she could finally have all of her soul back. She moved silently behind the trees. When she was in the perfect spot, she drew her arrow back, aimed and shot.
Time seemed to stand still. Kagome whirled around hearing the whirring of an arrow. Suddenly she felt a red hot pain in her shoulder, causing her to collapse, grabbing the arrow with her good hand.
Sesshoumaru turned around, smelling Kagome's blood. Inuyasha stayed focused, and he thrusted his trusty sword forwards, stabbing Sesshoumaru through the stomach. Sesshoumaru froze. Thinking of only one thing to do, he used the remainder of his strength and grabbed the sword that went throught his stomach, pulling it out of him. His hands covered with blood, he slashed Inuyasha with it, giving him a deep wound down his entire side.
Sesshouamru jumped to where Kagome was. His mind weary with the stress of extreme pain, he grabbed her and headed towards his castle as fast as he could go.
I know this chapter is short, but I think it has a lot of content in it. I really had a hard time getting it out, so don't send any howlers. (lol: Get it? Harry Potter..ahhh..good times.) Anyways, I spent about 4-5 days on it, and I feel really good that I got it off my chest. Don't you all worry though, I will not cease to update, so don't remove me from your favorite stories lists (if this story is ON your fav stories list)
^.^ I'll really try to get that next chapter out as QUICKLY as I can!!! I got my laptop taken away(^.^;;;;) so I have to write this in the privacy of my living room (that is me being sarcastic, okay!)
Sorry for the long A/N...^.^;;;
