I Won't Let You go
Chapter Eight
Kikyo Always Ruins Everything
The sun slowly started to creep over the horizon, waking the world from it's sleep. As the sun hit the grass it sparkled like diamonds because of the dew. Birds started chirping cheerfully to one another as the morning finally arrived. But with all the noise and brightness outside, it didn't effect the sleeping couple in the cave. In the cave of Inu-Yasha's mothers room lay the two, exhausted from the nights events. The crowing of the rooster caused Inu-Yasha to slowly wake from his deep slumber. His eyes slowly fluttered open as he propped himself up on his forearms, giving off a great big yawn. Shaking his head trying to wake up, he stared at his mate who was still sleeping underneath and still one with him. Smiling, Inu- Yasha leaned down and pecked Kagome on the lips. Her own eyes slowly opened and she smiled at the sight of her mate.
"Morning," whispered Inu-Yasha.
"Morning to you too," yawned Kagome, wrapping her arms around Inu- Yasha's bare shoulders, "Hmm, I'm still so tired,"
"Are you surprised?"
"No, not at all,"
Inu-Yasha laughed slightly and kissed Kagome before saying, "Well, shall I get us some breakfast?"
"That would be nice,"
Kissing Kagome one last time, Inu-Yasha crawled out of the sleeping bag and started to put on his clothes.
"I love you," whispered Kagome.
Inu-Yasha knelt down beside her and rubbed his cheek against hers, "I love you too, I'll be right back,"
"I'll wait for you," said Kagome as she watched Inu-Yasha leave. She sighed and shivered as she left the warmth of the sleeping bag to grab her PJ's which were near by. Stuffing them into her bag, Kagome grabbed her extra towel and headed to the hot spring to wash the sweat and blood off her . Touching her hand to her neck, she could feel the small bite marks Inu-Yasha had put on her last night. Leaving the towel at the door way, Kagome slipped into the hot spring and winced. The cut mark on her hip stung slightly, but the pain slowly disappeared. Kagome rested her head against the edge and sighed. Her dreams had finally come true, and Inu- Yasha was hers completely.
**************************************************************************** ****
Inu-Yasha hummed to himself as he made his way back to the cave with a few vegetables and two dead chickens for them to eat for breakfast. He did his best to avoid the village, and smiled as he caught sight of the cave. Taking a deep breath he inhaled the smells of the morning air, but froze as a particular scent caught his attention. Sniffing the air again, Inu- Yasha's eyes widened, ^Kikyo . . she's somewhere around here^ thought Inu- Yasha. ^What should I do? Should I go tell her I'm with Kagome now? Yes I should, then I can get back to my mate^
Inu-Yasha ran the rest of the way to the cave and found that Kagome had left the sleeping bag.
"Kagome?"
"I'm taking a bath!"
"I've brought some food,"
"That's good!"
Inu-Yasha made his way to the hot spring and noticed Kagome sitting in the hot spring, "I have to go back outside, there's some demon I have to take care of outside,"
"Okay, but you be careful,"
Nodding Inu-Yasha went back outside to try and find Kikyo, but almost screamed a s he saw her standing near the entrance of the cave.
"Kikyo . . ." whispered Inu-Yasha.
The undead preistess just stood there, her face as always emotionless and pale. "Inu-Yasha, are you ready to come to hell with me?"
"Kikyo, I'm not going to hell with you,"
"What?"
"I've avenged your death, can't you move onto the next life and leave me be?"
Kikyo stared at him with anger burning in her eyes, "No, I won't leave you be,"
"Kikyo please,"
"No! You will die with me Inu-Yasha!"
Inu-Yasha sighe as realization dawned upon him. This wasn't the Kikyo he knew fifty years ago, only a body made of dirt and clay that wanted him dead.
"Do you love me Kikyo?"
"Yes, I do,"
"Then explain this to me, why was our trust so easily broken? And if you did truly love me, wouldn't you want me to live instead of die?"
Kikyo was silent for a moment, "Inu-Yasha, you should have died that day too, now come, and let us leave this world behind.
Inu-Yasha sighed, there was no way in hell she would listen to him, but a thought slowly crept into his mind.
**************************************************************************** ****
Kagome crawled through the hole to get some fresh water to drink. She was wearing sweat pants and T-Shirt since today seemed to be slightly cold. Dipping her water bottle into the small stream, she heard some voices near by at the base of the mountain. Tightening the cap on the water bottle, Kagome slowly peered over the edge. She gasped and could feel tears pricking at her eyes. There was Inu-Yasha with Kikyo, facing each other without saying a word. ^What is she doing here?^ thought Kagome. she was about to yell at her mate and ask what was going on, but what she saw next shocked her. Inu-Yasha walked forward and pulled Kikyo into his embrace. Kikyo looked stunned at first, but returned the embrace. Kagome forced herself not to cry, and instead, ran back into the cave, her heart broken. **************************************************************************** ****
"Kikyo," whispered Inu-Yasha as his embrace tightened on her.
"Inu-Yasha, shall we go now?"
Inu-Yasha sighed and whispered into her hair, "Good bye Kikyo,"
Kikyo's eyes widened as she felt Inu-Yasha's claws rip through her stomach. "What are you doing?"
"I might of promised to protect you Kikyo, but you are not the Kikyo I knew fifty years ago, so good bye!" said Inu-Yasha as he swiped Kikyo with his claws.
Kikyo didn't make a sound as her body crumbled into nothing but a pile of dust. Inu-Yasha felt a slight twinge guilt, but he shook it off. He picked up the ashes of Kikyo and her clothes. Jumping up to the small stream up above, he scattered her ashes in the stream and set her clothes by his mothers grave, so that the real Kikyo could rest in peace. He picked up her hair band and put it in his pocket as evidence for Kagome that Kikyo would no longer bother them again. Inu-Yasha made his way into the cave to see Kagome heading towards the door.
"Kagome where are you going?" asked Inu-Yasha.
Kagome wanted to scream at him, but she held it in, not wanting him to know she saw him with his old love. "I'm not feeling well, do you think you could take me back to Kaede's?"
"Sure," said Inu-Yasha. He picked up her yellow bag and was about to pick her up in his arms, but she pushed him away.
"I'll walk,"
Inu-Yasha looked slightly confused, but nodded as they headed back to Kaede's village.
**************************************************************************** ****
Inu-Yasha was quite confused on Kagome's behavior, it was as if she was ignoring him or angry at him. ^No, maybe she's just trying to ignore the pain^ thought Inu-Yasha knowing why Kagome would feel slightly ill after last night.
It was dark by the time they reached the village and everyone was asleep. They made there way to Kaede's hut were Kagome had left a few of her supplies that she hadn't needed.
"Kagome, could you stay here for a moment, I have to go into the forest for a minute," said Inu-Yasha.
Kagome said nothing, she just nodded her head.
As Inu-Yasha disappeared Kagome still kept her tears locked inside. She grabbed her bag and headed for the well, hoping that Inu-Yasha would not see her. Kagome ran as fast as her legs would carry as she tried to ignore the pain in the pit of her stomach. When she reached the well, Kagome threw her bag down and jumped in herself before letting her tears fall.
**************************************************************************** ****
Kagome made her way to the house and was relieved that everyone was still sleeping. She wanted to go upstairs and lay on her bed, but didn't want to wake Sango. So instead she dropped off her bag in the kitchen and went to the couch. Grabbing a blanket Kagome laid down on the couch. She let a few tears slip down her cheeks before she began to sob. She felt foolish and humiliated. ^I feel like such a fool! Here I thought Inu- Yasha really wanted to be with me, but it looks like I was wrong! He just wanted to sleep with me and then run back to Kikyo after he was finished with me!^ thought Kagome. More and more tears slipped down her cheeks as she cried silently so she wouldn't wake up anyone. Kagome tried to forget about the half demon, but she couldn't. Thoughts of their event the other night crept into her mind. The look in his eyes as they had made love, Kagome could of sworn it was pure love towards her, but now she realized it was just lust. He didn't love her, and it appears he never had, he was still in love with Kikyo. Kagome gave out a shaky sigh, ^Will he come after me? Maybe. Should I close the well? No then Miroku and the others can't get back^ A thought suddenly struck Kagome, maybe she could seal the well house temporarily. Sitting up Kagome silently went to her grandfathers room and grabbed the dozen scrolls on his dresser. They were the scrolls that Miroku had given her grandfather that actually worked. She ran to the well house and placed them on the doors and all around it. Inu-Yasha would never be able to get out of there. Sighing, Kagome made her way to the house to deal with her broken heart.

ok, so I lied about them going to tell Hojo the bad news. So, please review if you want to know what happens next.
