A/n: Okay so obviously some people in the back weren't paying attention.
But ohwell. Im not gonna get all high school teacher on everyone. Anyway, I
will try to clear up some confusion in this chapter unless I forget, which
I usually do. Ohwell, basically kagura is a liar, kikyo's dead, and since I
said from the beginning that this is inu/kag it might just happen. But once
again this is all angsty and stuff so I gotta be true to that as well.
HAHA. Teehee, the word of today is GAH!! The word of tomorrow is GLOMPS,
whatever that means. Anyway, remember when I write these chapters it's
usually right after I get home from work, and im extremely tired and
strange. K? K. alright on with it.
I really liked the last chapter don't know why, I think it's my favo-rite.
Sorry if it was confusing, I was trying to mess with you and stuff I don't
think some people got it, ohwell. This chap will be confusing too. Sorry.

Part 12- His Betrayal
/Goodbye Kagome. . ./
Kagome's dark eyes fluttered open, tears poured forth as she realized that the thing that had saved her, was in fact her love. It was Inuyasha, the real Inuyasha, he wasn't dead after all. She sobbed uncontrollably as she watched him battle his brother. She was filled with joy, and yet, sadness. What had taken him so long to return?
What of Kikyo? She saw before her eyes, flashes of Inuyasha, or at least what seemed to be Inuyasha as he took away Kikyo's life. As he destroyed her clay body and laughed, laughed hysterically. Then at last she saw him transform, his red kimono replaced with white baboon fur and she shuddered. 'Oh, Inuyasha. . . '
She observed him carefully from her spot on the forest floor. His clothes looked dirty and ragged, the once untouchable fire rat kimono was burnt and shredded in areas. Inuyasha was also moving a little slower than usual, wounds of all shapes and sizes decorated his body, and she knew they were not Sesshomaru's doing. 'Where had he been? Why had Kagura said he was dead? Who had wounded him so?'
"You fucking bastard!" Inuyasha spat through clenched teeth. "How dare you try to kill your own child?"
Sesshomaru smirked at this, knowing his next remark would sting the hanyou greatly." Why do you care brother? It isn't your child, why do you care what becomes of it?"
Inuyasha lunged at him; Sesshomaru deflected his attack, quickly slashing at him with his poison claws. The hanyou winced slightly, feeling his brother's claws sinking into his chest briefly. "Because. . ." Inuyasha muttered, knocking Tokijin from Sesshomaru's grasp with lightning speed. "It is also Kagome's child. . . "
Kagome shuddered suddenly, remembering something Lord Keishou had spoken months and months ago to her, part of a poem, or a prophecy maybe, she couldn't be sure. Right now her memory was failing her:
+A pure soul will create life with a pure killer.+
Inuyasha tossed the Tetsuseiga away preparing himself for his transformation with the next blow from Sesshomaru. The hanyou was already badly wounded from a previous battle and he knew that soon without fail he would take on his full demon form. That was the only way he could truly protect Kagome and finally get rid of his brother.
+He with the pure heart will protect the created life.+
But Sesshomaru was much smarter than Inuyasha imagined, and instead of daring to attack his younger brother, he decided to attack the mother of his child instead. Kagome forced herself to stand, knowing that he was about to attack her. She tried her best to prepare herself. He forced his body to move at such a speed that even Inuyasha barely caught a glimpse of him as he ran past. His mind was total chaos, not a straight thought was contained with in, and before he could react to his own stupid actions Sesshomaru had darted forward, encircling Kagome with his poison whip. He brought her quickly to his side. Pressing her to his chest awkwardly he looked into her dark eyes once more before stabbing her abdomen, trying his best to kill the life there. Kagome screamed bringing him out his homicidal trance.
"NO!" Purple and blue light emitted from Kagome's entire body at that moment, throwing Sesshomaru back away from her. She clutched her stomach, as she glared at him. He watched her carefully, murder etched across her features as she tried to move towards him. Suddenly a purple ball of matter appeared above the three, lighting up the entire sky with its eerie, incredible light.
"My soul, " she murmured, watching it as he re-entered her body. Returning to its rightful place.
"Kikyo," Inuyasha whispered knowing that she was finally at peace, but not understanding how, or why.
+ Power shall be restored by that of the once dead.+
Kagome's body took on the purplish glow, and she floated a few feet above the ground. A strange smile crossed her features, and her eyes closed. The huge wound in her stomach, healed itself slightly, too much damage had been done. Yet Kagome still have enough strength to finish what she started.
Her eyes shot open suddenly. "You," she said finally pointing an accusing finger at her one time lover. "You tried to take the life of this child, in order for it to be born, you must sacrifice yourself." Sesshomaru looked at her slightly confused, fear somehow showing on his stone face, but also contempt.
"No," he mouthed over the rush of the wind suddenly. He would never give his life for that child, he hated his unborn son or daughter, and he wanted nothing to do with it. Apparently that was the answer Kagome was looking for. Her hair billowed above and behind her as the wind she created picked up around her.
"Goodbye Sesshomaru, I shall see you soon," were her parting words to him as the three were engulfed in fantastic streams of light. Capturing the entire forest with its blinding glow.
+ The killing Perfection shall die perfectly.+
Inuyasha slowly lifted his pounding head. 'What the hell just happened?' He wondered rising to a sitting position. He looked around for his brother, but he was nowhere to be found. Finally his eyes settled on Kagome's unconscious form. She lay near the base of a large tree, with her back to him. He raced to her side, grabbing the Tetsuseiga quickly on his way. Dropping down next to her, he turned her over quickly inspecting her for serious injuries.
"Inuyasha," she murmured still partially asleep.
"I'm here," he said with all the strength he could muster at the moment, which wasn't much. He continued to examine her, discovering that she was much farther along than he had expected. Her stomach was very round and swollen, she appeared to be ready to give birth any day now. The gash in her belly bled steadily and he worried for the safety of her and her unborn child.
Kagome's eyes opened slowly and she smiled up at Inuyasha. "I'm so glad you're back." She told him, reaching up to grasp his face in her palm. "I waited for you for so long. . . "
"Kagome. . ." He whispered, watching her wearily. "We need to get you to Kaede, you're hurt."
"I know, but so are-- Hey! Where are your wounds?" She asked suddenly.
Inuyasha looked down at himself, and realized all his wounds had been healed.
"You must have healed me with your strange powers. How did you know what to do?"
"I don't know, it just came to me. I had to protect you and the child," she gasped. "The child!"
Inuyasha helped her sit up so that she could examine herself. Fear and worry shown on her weary face as she looked up at him for help. "Something's wrong, we have to . . ."
He helped her stand and as she did so she felt something strange occurring, suddenly she was covered in water.
Inuyasha gaped at her, "Uh Kagome, what just happened?"
She gaped at him in horror and shock, "My water just broke, I'm going to have the baby! You have to take me to my time!"
+To be reborn again, a child of the mother.+
