Heart of a hanyou

(Chapter 2)



Inu Yasha quickly rushed by Kikyo's side. He cradled her body and asked, "What happened, Kikyo?"



Kagome looked away, not angry.. but depressed. She quickly shut her eyes tight, to seal in the tears that were coming fast. 'Inu.. Yasha.. even though I know that he chose to be with her, I still can't stand them together.'



"My-- time.. has come. I don't belong in this world."



"Kikyo, stop.. of course you belong.. you belong here with me."



"I can only stay in this world.. for so long.."



"If you go, I go." The demon insisted. "I owe.. you.. my life."



Kagome started to wander off, she could take it anymore. 'Why am I acting like this? I know they're together, but I can't seem to cope with it. Why can't i get over it.. why can't i get over... him?'



Miroku watched as Kagome walked off, "Kagome-sama."



"Tell Inu Yasha, I'm going for a walk," she replied as she continued walking away.

Miroku sighed as she left, "She's hurting."



***********************

"I'm sorry, Inu Yasha." Kikyo whispered quietly.


"No. You've once died for me. I must return the favour, with my life."



"So, this is just a favour?"



"iie.. boku-" he started.



"Inu Yasha."



"Miroku, can't you see i'm busy right now?"



"but.."



"later, miroku."



"hai hai." The houshi obeyed the stern command as he left the two alone together. "Let's go, Sango.. we can go to a place where we are actually needed."



The dark haired girl nodded in agreement, and smiled at him. Grinning back at her, Miroku quickly gave a farewell, "Ja, Inu Yasha."



The half-youkai didn't seem to notice as the 2 left. All he cared about was.. Kikyo. "Inu Yasha, I know there's a lot on your mind.. and I know that.. girl was one of them. I also know that you care about her too.. haven't you?"

Rendered speechless, Inu Yasha looked away. "You don't have to say anything.. I just need to know.. who? her.. or I?" Taken back by what she just said, he got up to his feet. "Kikyo.. I already told Kagome, I was going to be with you. And nothing will change that.."



"Kagome.. what did she say?"



"She.. said she understood and.. she seemed fine with it."



Rising beside Inu Yasha, she slowly placed her hand on his shoulder. "do you believe that?"

He never thought about it before, all this time.. he was thinking about Kikyo.. and not the feelings of Kagome. Of course, she had to go through tough times. Tears, depression, any sign of sorrow had to be felt. No one could have not shown emotion, before a pleasant smile like that appeared. It was.. unreal. And Now Inu Yasha understood. Glancing around the plains, he found no one there. It was just him.. and Kikyo.



A few soul snatchers, floated around her and placed the dead souls in her body.

Kikyo.. who had died 50 years ago, by the hands of Naraku.. now reborn again. Constructed from the mud and soil of the earth, she initially returned to destroy Inu Yasha. However, her plan did not succeed. Instead, she took the all the Shikon No Tama, that Kagome, Inu Yasha and their friends had worked hard in finding and gave in it the possession of the enemy.. Naraku. Of course she had a reason, the Shikon No Tama, would eventually destroy him, if it was to be complete.



A moan escaped from her lips as the rejection of the souls caused slight pain to her stale body. "Kikyo.... what's happening?" Inu Yasha asked. "I've already told you. A body that was made from earth ... it can't last forever. it's.. my time.. to leave.."



"Then I shall go with you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Deep in the lush green forest, Kagome sat, with her head tucked in her arms. She softly sobbed, tears caressing her face, as they slowly rolled down from her dark brown eyes. She couldn't understand why she was so greatly affected, she knew Inu Yasha's decision, she knew she couldn't stand between Kikyo and him.. Kagome knew it all.. but she couldn't face it.

Wrapped up in her misery, Kagome didn't notice a familiar pair of eyes, staring at her.



"Kagome."



"Huh?" she replied, wiping away her tears and hiding everything with a smile.



"What's wrong, Kagome?" The voice asked in sincerity.



"Kouga-kun!.. it's nothing."



"Did that puppy do something to hurt you, because if he did-" Kouga raised up a fist.



"No.. it's .. nothing really."



"Then, what's wrong?"



"Just... me... and my foolishness." she said, trying not to let the tears in her eyes appear again.



*********************

Sango and Miroku sat together on a hill located at a nearby town. It seems they're camp place was actually near a small village. From their views, they could still see Inu Yasha and Kikyo.



"I wonder how Kagome is.." Miroku wondered aloud, "she was hurting the last time i saw her walk away."



"It's amazing how Inu Yasha forgets about everyone around him when Kikyo's around," Sango noticed, as she looked behind her, watching them conversing, still. "Poor, Kagome-chan." she finished.



"Well this brings us some alone time.." Miroku slyly put his arm around her. Taking his hand off her, she replied, "Not exactly." Glancing at her right, she spotted Kiara and Shippou playing around.



"They don't have to know, we can be silent." [A/N: Not what your thinking.]



"Still-" Miroku planted a small kiss on Sango's lips. As soon as their lips touched, their arms automatically wrapped around each other. Luckily for them, Shippou and Kiara were still playing around, on a little scavenger hunt, and didn't notice.



"Ah, Kiara.. did you find it yet?" Shippou asked.



The neko-like creature nodded no.



"Don't worry, I'm sure you will, sooner or later."



Kiara purred and kneeled down. Resting it's head on it's hind legs, the creature started to doze off.



"oi! Kirara! ...why am i always alone?" Shippou laid down on the grass and support his head on Kiara's tail.



"well since everyone's away. I'll just rest... here." The kitsune finished as it, slowly drifted off into sleep.
