Chapter 14: Vengeance
He could hear the sound of trickling water, the sound of the stream flowing over the rocky sand. He could smell the salt water of tears and the fear, the tension, the anxiety of loneliness. . .
. . . all the demons in the world and beyond the grave could not suddenly stop this hanyou as he suddenly became overwhelmed with unknowing fear as a feeling from deep within himself told him to move with speed.
He in fact moved with such a great speed he never noticed the pair of sad red-orange eyes staring at him with pleading words to let it all end, to let it all end with just on thrust . . .
Inu-Yasha blinked as he looked down into the pleading eyes of Kirara, dagger in her hand the blade resting on her breast, her hands on the handle ready to plunge it into her heart. She looked away from him as his face became a snarl and he smacked the weapon out of her hands. Causing the blade to graze across her kimono before flying through the air.
"What the heck are you doing!" he yelled and in his mind he knew that was one of the most idiotic question to ask! He knew what she was doing; she was about to commit suicide! Kirara said nothing as she looked down towards the ground, her face hiding any emotion. Inu-Yasha looked at the dagger that lay a few feet away and then to Kirara with sad eyes.
He then sat down beside her and took her into his arms and sat her in his lap. Her eyes went wide with shock and surprise at this act, she felt him rest his chin upon her shoulder and he whispered to her, "Its your turn to rest, neko." He said as she leaned against his broad chest and sighed, her tails twitched at her side as they brush across his faces as she lifted them to his head, "Why did you stop me? If I died now then you could be happy with Lady Kagome and I would be at rest and cause no harm." She whispered as his hold tightened around her. "Kirara, I have sworn to protect Kagome, in truth, yes I loved her. But you . . . you have stolen my heart and my love."
Kirara said nothing for a few moments as tears came slowly down her face. "But I have wronged Sango, Kagome and the others worst of all . . . I . . . I wronged you! How can you love a being that has betrayed you?" she cried out as she turned quickly around and stood on her knees, her hands upon his thighs. "This isn't even my true form! I'm nothing but a baka neko!" she cried as Inu-Yasha only shook his head. "Kirara, we all make mistakes. I myself made many before.-"
"-Its in the past, Kirara. Though I now care for Kagome as my younger sister, but I love you, don't deny me of it." he said softly to her as he cupped the side of her face and with his thumb cleaned the tears from her face. "I know how it feels . . . to be used."
"But I will die soon." She muttered, "Not if I can help it." he replied as he leaned down towards her, "Kirara . . .you silly cat." With that he kissed her, he kissed her gently and as he kissed her a man in baboon clothing appeared behind the two. Kirara was the first to sense him and her eyes went wide with fear as she saw the dagger in his hands.
He held it above Inu-Yasha, ready to carve his name into the hanyou's back. She did the only thing she could think of as the dagger was baring down upon them. She shoved Inu-Yasha to the side and as it would seem fate took an evil twist as in slow motion the dagger pierced into Kirara.
Inu-Yasha's eyes went large as a doe caught in the headlights of a car. Kirara let out a cry as she felt the metal dig into her weak flesh, the warm blood flowing out of her body through the wound in her chest. Her tails fell weakly to her sides and her clawed hands tightened around Naraku's, her hair dangled around her. Naraku only smiled from under the face of the baboon.
He twisted the blade and then ripped it out of her as he snarled, "Little fool." With that and the suddenly motion of her body falling to the ground the ribbon the ends of her hair fell out. She landed hard on the ground her body landed in the shape of a slighted line with a hand out stretched above her and her tails behind her. Blood pouring out from her mortal wound as Naraku discarded the dagger with distaste.
"Kirara!" Inu-Yasha cried out as he unsheathed his father's fang and pointed it at Naraku. "Naraku." He growled
"You seem upset." He said with a chuckle. "It appears as you have lost them both or should I say all three of them? Kikyo, then the young miko and now the neko." He stated as he let the baboon hood fall from his head. "What will you do now?"
"I-I-nu. . .Y-asha. . I . . I." Kirara gasped out as the two males looked at her, her eyes where so sad, so willing. "Inu-Yasha!" she cried out in fear as Naraku suddenly drew his sword and swung it at the unknowing hanyou!
Inu-Yasha quickly turned to find a blade and Naraku coming at him, he had so little time . . .so little time, he couldn't even blink.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"Inu-Yasha!!" Kagome cried out as she darts up right in her padded bed, her face pale and her hair damp with sweat. "Inu-yasha." She mumbled again as Sango burst into the room to find Kagome suddenly up and dressed in a priestess kimono that Kaede had placed beside her for when she woke to put on. In her hand was a bow, upon her back quivers. Her raven hair clang to her like a bee to honey, her burns upon her hands where clearly seen as blood leaked through her pure white top from her shoulder and slowly oozing down her sleeve.
["Just like Kikyo . . . I look just like when Kikyo came back to life."] She thought as the warm blood flowed down her arm. "Kagome!" Sango cried out as Miroku outside was holding a worrying Shippo. Kagome took no mind of her friend and limply walked past her like a zombie, like she wasn't even there. ["Inu-Yasha . . .I'm coming."] She thought as she walked down the stairs and past Miroku and Shippo. "Lady Kagome!"
"Kagome!" Shippo cried out as he jumped out of Miroku's hands to catch up with his adoptive mother who should not be even able to walk!
["I'm coming . . . just hang on . . . everything will be alright . . . "]
* * * * * * * * * * * * BWHAHAHAHAH! What is going to happen next? Will Kirara die? Will Kagome? Will Inu-Yasha die or will Naraku? Oh the suspense! Oh the HORROR!
