You'll recognize the beginning of this chapter from chapter 1. I had to repeat it if I wanted it to make sense. Enjoy and review! Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.
Predictable Chaos - Without Saying A Word
Kagome slammed open the doors of the temple and grabbed the Shikon No Tama. Dodging spears and sticks, she ran outside the church. It seemed as if she was fighting the atmosphere for air and her lungs were aching because she was running so fast. As she ran, Kagome armed her bow with a purified arrow and stopped in front of the tree she knew all to well.
"Inuyasha!!" Kagome knew this voice too. It was the priestess Kagome resembled so well.
The miko positioned her aim to the right of Kagome and fired. A small jewel fell to the ground and a boy was pinned to the tree. Kagome gasped but kept running, bow and arrow still lingering at her side. Naraku was right, she WOULDN'T interfere with the past. Kikyo nor Inuyasha noticed her presence. She shoved the Shikon No Tama into a hidden pocket inside her blouse and pushed her speed a little. A shadowy figure was quickly by her side, running with her. It then pushed Kagome, knocking her off her course and making her fall. Her shoulder smacked a tree and pain shot up her right side. The figure stepped a few feet in front of her. Kagome raised an arrow, ready for attack.
"Dont be stupid, wench! Just give me the jewel and I can get us both out of here!"
"Forget it SESSHOMARU! I WON'T let Inuyasha die like this."
"He'll die anyway if you don't hand the jewel over to me!"
"I don't trust you Sesshomaru! Not for one second! I won't let the jewel fall into your hands!"
Sesshomaru glared at her, his amber eyes forming into thin slits of frustration. He needed the jewel just as badly as the girl, and was more than willing to kill her for it IF his brother did not care for the human as much as he knew Inuyasha did. They stared at each other for endless seconds. Kagome was shaking with fear and determination. 'What did I do to get myself into this ?!' She wondered at her own thought for a moment. Why did she make a deal with the devil?! Or, what she thought he was like if he lived on Earth...
So there Kagome stood, remembering everything she went through to get here. Sesshomaru was in a fighting stance, ready to pounce on the poor human like an insane animal. Kagome felt the power of the Shikon no Tama vibrating in her pocket. 'He can't find the jewel. He can't! He may not have his poison claw but he still has claws!'
Inuyasha blinked at the couple for a moment or two. Kagome was fixed with an arrow pointing straight at his brother's heart. Her skirt blew in the breeze and her eyes filled with undescribable courage he hadn't seen since she shot Naraku.
The orb had turned into a portal the moment Kagome grabbed the Shikon jewel and purified it. Miroku gawked at the portal and knew at that moment that Naraku's impeccable plan had a flaw. Sango grasped the hand that contained the air void.
"We don't know what will happen if we go in there!"
"We don't know what will happen if we don't.." Sango nodded and tore off a piece of Miroku's robe. She wrapped up both their wrists tightly, keeping them hooked together.
"In case one of us lets go of the other."
"I won't let that happen." Sango enfolded her hand around Miroku's and prepared herself for the jump. In one breath, they were draped in darkness and energy.
Sesshomaru could not hold out any longer. Time wasn't on his side and Rin would be dead if something didn't happen so. He flexed his clawed fingers. Inuyasha knew this movement. Any animal did it before attack.
"I told you not to touch her!!!" Inuyasha was struck with an idea.
Kagome fell backwards as Sesshomaru's brute force hit her. His claws dug into her already bruised shoulders, drawing the familiar crimson liquid. She yelped in pain, but not from the stinging of the razor sharp claws. A heavy energy fell over her body and she suddenly felt protected and healed.
Sesshomaru was taken back when he saw the human's eyes turn into gold like his own, her ebony hair showing only strands at first, then flowing with pure silver. He was even more astounded when the shoulder wound he inflicted healed right in front of him! Kagome stood up.
"I told you not to touch her!" Sesshomaru noted his brother's ghostly trick.
"You don't know what you've just gotten yourself into, Inuyasha." 'Kagome' and Sesshomaru slammed up against each other in deadly combat.
Naraku patiently watched Sesshomaru exit from the portal.
"Where's the girl?" Sesshomaru flipped a few messy strands from his face and wiped away blood oozing from lip.
"Dead. Inuyasha decided to play a little game with the girl's body. I had no other choice but to destroy my attacker." 'He's straight in front of me. Unarmed. Kikyo's to his left with a bow but not armed with any arrows.' Naraku sneered at the demon.
"You're plotting something."
"Am I?"
"Yes and I don't like it.." Sesshomaru glared. 'You have one shot. Aim for his heart.' Naraku opened up his miasma and it danced around Sesshomaru.
"NOW!" The silver haired demon ducked down and an arrow pierced through the violet poison, striking Naraku's heart.
