Disclaimer: -__-……………………Do I have to……………..YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!..............I don't own Inuyasha……………….THERE ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!L And if I did I would speed up the Inuyasha and Kagome relationship, and kill Kikyo. Sorry if you like her cause I don't.
A/N: I'm sorry if I took too long to update for your liking. But one of my best friends was in town for a week before he went to Utah for college. But he's gone now. :( So I thought it was time to get back to my story. Just in time for new episodes of Inuyasha too. ^__^ I really like this chapter. Kagome is really cool. But that's all I'm going to say.
Reason to Live
Ch.5 A Clash of Souls
Kikyo looked at Kagome in amazement. How can that girl grasp my arrow?
The blinding light receded from the forest clearing. Instead the light seemed to emanate from Kagome herself. Inuyasha tried to hold on to her as she began to ascend to the air.
"What is happening to Kagome", asked Kaede in wonder.
Inuyasha was struck dumb as he watched Kagome clutch the arrow with her eyes gripped shut. Kagome, what is going on?
There was a pulse of energy like lightning where Kagome's hand touched the arrow.
"That girl is fighting my powers with her own," said Kikyo quietly. How is that possible? My powers were always incomparable as a priestess."
"Kagome is a very special girl. She has been gradually developing her powers since she arrived in this era," said Kaede.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome, his eyes brimming with worry. Kagome, is it possible? Can you really overcome Kikyo's spell. Inuyasha's face was still etched with worry, while standing with a look of defiance and eyes now filled with pride. You can do it, Kagome. You'll get through this…My Kagome.
Kagome's brows furrowed together. The pulsating light at Kagome's hand began to beat more rapidly. Gradually as the pulsing quickened the blue light surrounding Kagome began to fade.
"NOOO!! She….She is….dominating my power. How can that be?" Kikyo watched in shock as the power, spurned by hatred, in the arrow began to fade as it was overwhelmed by the spirit of a simple girl. Her reincarnation or not, that should be impossible.
"Kagome's powers may have been weak compared to yours, Kikyo, but things are different. She is very stubborn and strong willed. Also she is not just fighting for her life, but for Inuyasha's as well." Kaede turned to look at Inuyasha. His back was turned towards her so she couldn't see his face. He hasn't said a word since Kagome started to fight. What is he thinking?
Suddenly, Kagome's eyes shot open as her mouth let out a heart wrenching scream. The orb of energy at her hands glowed with a sudden white light that was almost beautiful had it not been accompanied by the pain in Kagome's scream. It began to throb more rapidly, as the blue light that was surrounding Kagome faded completely.
Kagome, what is going on? What is happening to you? You're in such immense pain. Inuyasha took a couple steps toward her, clenching his teeth in anger and pain as he felt the heat of the light burning him already. If he was already in pain from this distance, how much pain was Kagome feeling? Inuyasha braced himself, ready to catch her if she fell. Kagome, you shouldn't feel pain. You've done nothing to deserve pain. Inuyasha gazed at Kagome. It was harder to see her now because of the blinding light. Her screams however were still coming and echoing throughout the forest and in Inuyasha's head. He looked pained as if every scream was knife piercing his already bleeding heart. "Kagome." He choked back a sob. I wish I could fight for you. I wish I could bear this pain for you. I hate being helpless, especially helpless to protect you. You can do this, Kagome. You are strong. You must live.
^ About a quarter mile away^
Miroku and Sango were sitting side by side on the grass. They were both smiling and looked happy. Miroku tentatively placed his hand over Sango's.
"So, Sango, when should we plan to have the joyous day in which you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
"Anxious, are we?" said Sango teasingly. ^__^ (snickers)
"Oh most definitely." said Miroku with a seductive gleam in his eye. ^__~ (more snickers)
Sango looked down and blushed. For once she didn't smack him. After all they were getting married. She looked at Miroku who wiggled his eyebrows at her. Probably the sooner the better.
"I would like to wait for Inuyasha and Kagome to come back before I decide. No matter what I want them to be there. I'm not sure when Kagome's going to be here or back home. I need to be sure of when she is going to be here. She has helped me so much through everything. She is my dearest friend."
"I know exactly how you feel, Sango." Miroku turned to look a couple feet behind him. -__- "Although I don't think we should bother with Shippo." Sango turned to look at an unconscious kitsune with two rather large bumps on his head x_x. "Point taken, but he would be rather upset if we forgot about him. Oh well. So, do you think they will be a happy couple when they get back?"
"Oh I think so. Inuyasha has matured slightly over time."
"Yes he has," said Sango "Slightly."
Just then a blood curdling scream froze them in fear.
Angel-Tinuviel: AHHH!!! * jumps and ducks as audience throws miniature Miroku action figures with groping action at her* THIS IS UNCALLED FOR!! Inuyasha help me!
Inuyasha:-__- Why would I do that you deserve it.
Angel-Tinuviel: O.O GRRR!! THAT'S IT! *powers up* FINAL FLASH *all the Miroku dolls have disintegrated*
Inuyasha: That's the wrong anime.
Angel-Tinuviel: I don't care. I'm the authoress I can do whatever I want. Besides Vegeta is my favorite.
Inuyasha: HMM. Maybe I should throw Roshi dolls at you.
Angel-Tinuviel: AHH!! NO!! At least Miroku's cute. Besides only one person can touch me. ^__^
Inuyasha: Oh yeah and who's that?
Angel-Tinuviel: *mumbles something*
Inuyasha: What was that? I didn't hear you.
Angel-Tinuviel: Anyways keep reviewing or I might just get too side-tracked to update. *looks around innocently* What, that wasn't a threat. ^__^
