Er...disclaimer…not mine…leave me alone…I have my plot and nothing else…
Here's chapter four….
^^ Is a thought from Inuyasha…
And I'm sorry if Inuyasha is a bit OOC
Life of the Warrior: Reliving Betrayal
**It's the man from my dream…** "Who are you?"
"I'd have expected at least you to remember Kikyo…" he reached out a clawed hand, Kagome flinched and then blushed when she realized he was trying to help her up.
"Who is Kikyo?"
"What?? Now you've forgotten your name too?"
"I'm not her! My name is Kagome! Ka-go-me!" Kagome began to get annoyed. **Who was this guy? Why was he so familiar? Who was Kikyo??**
The man looked at her, "Feh."
**Ok. I'm leaving this guy is crazy!!** Kagome took two steps and fell. **Crap my ankle.** with all the adrenaline in her body from the chase, Kagome had completely forgotten about her ankle. She looked around for her crutch; it was nowhere in sight. **I must have lost it in the forest.**
"Stupid wench. Why'd you run?"
"Why'd you chase me?"
"I was trying to protect you!!"
"Protect me!! I don't even know you!!! How does creeping through the woods making scary noises protect me???"
"These forests are full of youkai. You would've died the first night!!" Kagome was silent; she had though she had been lucky. "I swore to always protect Kikyo," Slowly Inuyasha sat down next to Kagome, "As long as I thought you were her I had to protect you, even if she had betrayed me."
"I'm sorry…"
"Feh."
"Who are you anyways??"
"I am Inuyasha wielder of the Tetsusaiga!"
Kagome gasped. **The name! How did I not realize it sooner?** Yo-you're the Warrior!"
^^What?? How does she know? All the humans have forgotten!^^ Kagome began to shrink away from Inuyasha; his eyes had taken on a cold hard look. Finally he looked at her, "yes that is me"
Kagome didn't know what to say, an awkward silence hung in the air. Looking around Kagome saw that it was growing light. "I have to get back to my camp, and then I have to continue on my journey." Kagome tried to stand; she couldn't with out some thing to support her. Inuyasha watched her struggle for a while before standing up. He then proceeded to pick Kagome up. He slung her over his shoulder and carried her like that through the forest. "Put me DOWN!!!" Inuyasha continued running through the forest ignoring her frequent cries.
"Oof…" Kagome was sitting on the ground again.
"Stay here, I'll be right back." Inuyasha headed back they direction they had come.
**Stay here…yeah right. I'm leaving.** Kagome crawled around the small clearing collecting all of her stuff and packing it away. She then used a tree to stand.
"What are you doing?" Kagome turned around and Inuyasha was standing there.
"Um… standing up?" Inuyasha looked at her strangely before handing her the crutch.
"Here wench. I figured you'd need this to walk out of my forest."
"Um thanks Inuyasha…"
"Feh."
Kagome was able to walk at a steady pace with the crutch. She traveled a good distance before night fell. She lit her fire and heated water for the ramen. When the water was ready she put in the noodles. "Inuyasha would you like some ramen???" Kagome called out to him. **Hmm I guess he left.** Kagome quietly ate her ramen and tried to go to sleep.
Kagome sat up groggily. Something had woken her up. Kagome listened and she heard nothing. Sighing softly she lay back down. A low growling noise floated down from above. **Oh no! A demon!!** Carefully with as little motion as possible, Kagome covered herself entirely with her blanket and prayed she looked like a rock.
"Stupid wench…" Inuyasha growled and muttered to himself. He sat high up in the tree Kagome was currently hiding under. He heard her gasp and mutter something about demons. "Feh." ^^serves her right. She comes waltzing into my forest looking just like Kikyo…^^ just thinking her name made Inuyasha fill up with regret… ^^how could she betray me? I risked everything for her…^^
*~*Flashback*~*
Inuyasha had grown up as a servant boy in the castle. He often saw the princess wandering through the castle. Occasionally she would stop him and tell him to get her something or do some other meaningless task.
When Inuyasha was the age of seven his mother died. Now there was no one to run to when he could no longer stand being called hanyou. At the age of eight Inuyasha ran away from the castle.
After years of training and then years of searching Inuyasha returned to the palace with the Tetsusaiga at his side. Soon Kikyo became a more familiar face to him. She was at the age of twenty and beautiful. Her hair was often pulled back in a style that flattered her face; her body was that of a goddess.
Many times Inuyasha was called away from what ever he was doing to serve the princess. He soon became good friends with Kikyo, some one she shared secrets with.
After a year of this Inuyasha realized he was in love with Kikyo. He wanted to tell her but could not. A servant boy was nothing to a princess.
Then Onigumo came asking for the princess' hand in marriage. Kikyo refused him. Once a week Onigumo would return begging her to reconsider, each time he was turned away. On the tenth day he left swearing revenge.
A few more years passed, Inuyasha's love grew by the day. Then Onigumo returned, this time calling himself Naraku. Inuyasha saw how worried Kikyo was for her people when Naraku took over; he decided he had to do something.
"Kikyo…I-I love you. I will go and defeat Naraku for you. Will you wait for me?"
"Inuyasha I would wait forever for you."
Later looking back Inuyasha realized something was missing in her eyes and voice.
Like the fool he was, Inuyasha ran off to fight Naraku. He battled all of Naraku's demons until only Naraku was left. The fight with Naraku lasted two days and nights. In the end Inuyasha triumphed.
After his battle, exhausted, and wanting only to see Kikyo, Inuyasha trudged home.
Kikyo met him at the castle gate, her face grave. "Inuyasha, if you truly love me, you will do one thing for me."
"Kikyo I have walked through hell to prove my love, one more test will not change my heart."
"If you love me Inuyasha, you will drink this. It will make you a full human."
Inuyasha took the cup and stared at the dark red liquid. Then he gulped it down. All faded to black, but as it faded he heard one last voice. "Dump his body in a forest somewhere."
*~*End Flashback*~*
^*^ My name is Kagome! Ka-go-me!!^*^
^^She looks so much like Kikyo, it hurts to look at her, to watch her…^^ Inuyasha had followed her the entire time she was in the forest, keeping all the demons and creatures away. Before it was because he had sworn to protect Kikyo, now because he would never forgive himself if Kagome died.
Ok there ya have it
That one part with the little ^*^ it was Inuyasha remembering what Kagome had said…in later chapters you'll probably see like *^* Kagome remembering what Inuyasha says…stuff like that be prepared…
