Part of that world chapter 16
due to computer problems I have been uploading many chapters at once, so you'll prolly see this at the same time as the last one. To uphold the suspense, please click the "Back" button, review, then do not read this chapter for about 2-3 days. Thank you.
Still here? Good. You care about the story. On with the fic! POV starts Kagome.
I stormed through the burning remains of the village, avoiding anyone that seemed to be mad. I didn't want to take on a whole army of Youkai alone. One hanyou was more than enough. I saw a familier silhouette on top of a platau, along with a similar one and a drop-dead gorgeous woman. The sun was setting behind them, and the new moon was rising behind me. I swiftly reached the bottem of the platau and began to climb. I would normally be too frightened to bother, but I was on a mission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Inuyasha ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~8~@
Her beauty stunned me; I had forgotten how much I loved her. Loved? I tested, to be sure. Nope. After that betrayal, my love for her had faded. Now her seductive look was just that- seductive and disgusting. She shifted her weight to her left foot, bending her right knee and pushing her right hip forward to me. I snarled at her.
"Bitch! What the hell do you think you're DOING?" She looked so hurt.... right then I knew I could never harm her, love or no. Oni-sama snarled at me, leaping onto my back from behind, shoving me flat. I spun about as we fell, only to find he wasn't looking at me.... he was snarling at someone or something behind me, and he was in his Inu form. He hopped off, turning psuedo-human again, and I got up, crouching and turning to look.
A bow.... another arrow being loaded.. loaded by... KIKYO?!?!?!?!?! She grinned wickedly at me, and the other Kikyo, the seductive one, turned into... NARUKU!?!?!?!?!!?!?
"I been waiting a long time for this, puppy." said Kikyo. The real Kikyo.. I hoped. Then, I smelled something. My eyes widened in shock. I spun to the left, still aware of Kikyo (now on my right) and Naruku (now on the left) as Kagome climbed up.
"Kagome!" I cried in panic.
"Hello granddaughter." said Kikyo calmly. Eerily. "Too bad I won't get the chance to know you." She swivelled to aim her bow at Kagome instead.
"Kukukuku! And she has the Shikon no Tama, too!" laughed Naruku.
Kagome reached the platform, and took a step forward, her eyes wide. "Inu?" she asked softly, eyes brimming with tears. It was because of the tears she did not see Kikyo fire her arrow right at her head. But I did. I raced forward, full speed, and shoved her aside, just in time to take the arrow hit to my shoulder. But I could not stop in time, and went over the edge...
As I fell, night hit, catching me unaware. It was the new moon. My hair turned black, and I felt strength and power flow out of me. I knew then that I was doomed. As I fell, I called out to my beloved: "KAGOME!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kagome ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~8~@
I didn't know why he shoved me until I heard the arrow hit his shoulder. The dull thud sickened me a little. He didn't seem to mind as he despratly tried to stop, misjudging the edge. He fell, turning human as he did so. I had felt betrayed as I climbed onto that platau... now I felt that I was the one betraying him. I crawled to the edge to look over.
I wasn't the only one. Kikyo raced to the edge, then leaped over. I heard him call my name as he fell, and I almost felt Kikyo's flinch. While Inuyasha was spread out to slow the fall, she tightened herself into an arrow shape, falling faster. She reached him and took his hand, pulling hard. 10 feet above the ground, she swivelled under him to cushin his fall. I heard a dull crack as her spine snapped, and I saw her mouth move, but I was too far away to hear her last words. That was when I felt the shove from behind and lost my footing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Inuyasha ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~8~@
I don't know why Kikyo did what she did. Her sacrifice saved my life, certainly. I managed to escape with only a few broken bones. I heard the crack of her back breaking, knew that she was dead, or nearly. I rolled off of her, in time to hear her last words:
"Inu..." she said, her eyes looking hurt and betrayed. Then she died. Her eyes still haunt my slumber to this day.
I looked up from her body in time to heard Kagome scream. I couldn't get up, and I worried that I might lose both of them. And myself too... for surely Naruku would climb down the platau and kill me. I closed my eyes and wept, tears for Kagome and Kikyo, but not for myself. Never for myself.

I saw my brother fall from the cliff, and saw that wench leap after him. I saw his new woman watch, and could smell her fear, then relief. I smelled the salty smell of tears and scoffed, not sure I wanted to know what had occured. So I saw Naruku sneak up on her, and saw his hands reach out to push her off the edge. I felt a boiling hatred for this man. I don't know why, only to say that I cared about my ni-san, though I refused to show it. And he cared about this woman. So I couldn't let her fall, too...
I kicked him viciously in the ribs as she tumbled, scrabbling wildly at the rock and dirt. Then I sprung into a crouch, grabbing at her left wrist with my more powerful right hand. She was heavy! But I braced my legs and pulled her back up, in time to see Naruku rush me. I stepped calmly aside, taking the woman of my brother with me. Naruku tumbled over the edge, and I looked down, spitting on him. Then I slung the woman on my back and climbed down the face of the cliff to see what had occured at the bottom.
For those of you who are confused: Kikyo was in the present, had kids (Kagome's mom), then went back in time and died. Hence, Kagome still exists though Kikyo died. ^_^
