Chapter 5:
Confrontation
Inu Yasha and Sango were running with Kenshin to the shrine. Kenshin was just going to show them the way. Suddenly an earsplitting shriek split the air.
"Kagome!" Inu Yasha cried. "I know another way to the shrine," Kenshin informed them, turning around. "It'll give us more cover." "I don't care about more cover," Inu Yasha snapped. "I care about finding Kagome." "Kenshin's right Inu Yasha," Sango said. "Demon exterminators have to have cover when hunting down a demon." "I should know that as well," Kenshin said sadly. "I used to be and assassin." "You did?" Sango asked. "What?!" Inu Yasha cried. "We don't have time to dawdle let's go!" Kenshin said plunging into the woods.
Sango and Inu Yasha ran after him. As well as Kirara.
"We're nearly there." Kenshin whispered. "Why are you talking in a whisper?" Inu Yasha asked. "Shut up you idiot," Sango ordered. "Don't you know anything? They'll be able to hear us if we make to much noise." "Exactly," Kenshin said. "Stop!"
Kenshin thrust out an arm. They could hear voices.
"What do you think you're doing?" Kagome asked. "I merely want to know where Inu Yasha is." Kikyo answered. "Well go and find him," Kagome retorted. "I'm angry with him. You'll be happy to know this too. Inu Yasha chose you over me!" "He did what?" Kikyo asked. "You heard me," Kagome sobbed. "He chose you over me!" "He chose me over you?" Kikyo asked. "Yes." Kagome wailed, melting into more sobs. "So that is why you are crying?" Kikyo asked. "Yes." Kagome cried tearfully. "Please tell me where he is." Kikyo pleaded. "No." Kagome resented. "Then I'll just have to make you." Kikyo said calmly. "No please." Kagome begged. "I don't want to listen to your begging." Kikyo replied. "I'll do anything you ask." Kagome said. "Then tell me where Inu Yasha is!" Kikyo ordered. "I'm right here." Inu Yasha said stepping out. "Inu Yasha!" Kikyo murmured. "Seems you forgot to put a barrier around the shrine." Sango said appearing beside Inu Yasha. "What are you doing?" Kenshin asked, his hand on his reverse blade sword.
Kirara growled.
"How did you know I was here?" Kikyo asked Inu Yasha. "We saw your soul gatherers Kikyo." Sango answered. "There not hard to miss that they aren't." Kenshin said. "You still wander this earth Kikyo," Inu Yasha said coldly. "Now that I know that you would kill Kagome, I don't think I'll-" "Inu Yasha," Kikyo interrupted, "She means more to you than I do? Well does she?" "Kikyo, you pinned me to a tree for 50 years," Inu Yasha replied angrily. "Then Kagome set me free. You really think I'd still love you after that long?" "You should sue her." Kagome said. "Be quiet." Kikyo said.
Kenshin jumped up and grabbed Kagome.
"Kenshin take Kagome back to the dojo." Inu Yasha ordered. "C'mon Kagome." Kenshin said grabbing her hand and heading for the woods.
Kikyo glared at Inu Yasha. Then a barrier appeared. Kenshin stopped. Kagome came over to him.
"You cannot leave this place." Kikyo cried. "Kikyo let them leave," Sango pleaded. "This is between Inu Yasha and you." "I have no desire to listen to you." Kikyo said angrily.
Kikyo raised one of her sacred arrows and fired. It hit the ground but gave Sango a scratch. A hole began to appear out of nowhere. Sango and Kirara began to fall into it. Kenshin grabbed Kagome and jumped out of the way.
"Thank you." Kagome said. "Not a problem." Kenshin said with no smile. "He's so different," Kagome thought. "When he's fighting or protecting. He acts like a totally different person. I wonder why." "Sango!" Inu Yasha cried.
Kikyo pointed an arrow at Inu Yasha.
"Kikyo don't shoot!" Kagome and Kenshin cried at the same time.
Kikyo turned to them both. Kenshin had let go of Kagome. She looked at Kenshin.
"I have not seen you before," Kikyo whispered so softly that they could barely hear her above the rain. "You are from this era are you not? Yet I sense something about you that you would like to keep a secret." "I am from this time," Kenshin answered coldly. "Yes I do have a secret. I would rather not speak of it now." "Kikyo don't kill Inu Yasha," Kagome begged. "You died because of Naraku. Inu Yasha and you were deceived by him. Just go back to the Sengoku Jidai so you can be at peace. Please Kikyo."
Kikyo almost seemed to be moved by these words. She looked at Inu Yasha then at Kagome.
"It appears you love her more than me Inu Yasha," Kikyo said sadly as her soul gatherers surrounded her. "You really do care more for her than me. Until we meet again."
With that said Kikyo disappear with her soul gatherers. Sango climbed out of the hole.
"---- THAT ----- FOR MAKING ME FALL INTO THAT ---- HOLE!!!!" Sango yelled. "Kagome tell me what she did to you?" Inu Yasha asked. "Nothing." Kagome lied. "Tell me." Inu Yasha ordered. "SIT," Kagome ordered. "Don't ask me!"
Inu Yasha and Sango walked ahead. Kenshin was talking to Kagome.
"Thanks Kenshin." Kagome said. "Don't mention it," Kenshin said staring at the sky his face getting hit with rain. "Kagome, why didn't you answer Inu Yasha's question?" "I felt like if I did," Kagome answered, "I would be telling on her. I couldn't do it." "I see," Kenshin muttered. "Kagome, do you know why Kikyo said what she did to me?" "No, why?" Kagome answered. "I used to be an assassin," Kenshin answered sadly. "I don't kill anymore. I just became a rurouni. I protect people now." "Oh," Kagome said realizing why he moved so fast. "I see now. You're much different when a battle's going on. It's like you're a whole different person."
Kenshin smiled. Kagome grinned from ear to ear. Then she did something completely unexpected. She hugged him out of shere gratitude.
"What was that for?" Kenshin asked her. "It was just an extra thanks," Kagome answered. "You're a good friend. Don't leave Miss Kaoru and the others okay? If I find out that someone left in my history book you're gonna be in deep trouble." "I won't leave." Kenshin promised. "Good." Kagome replied smiling. "Kagome!" Yahiko cried running up and hugging Kagome. "You're okay!" Kaoru cried tears streaming down her face.
Kagome was lifted off her feet. Inu Yasha had picked her up. Sano walked up.
"We should get you all inside," Sano said. "You're all soaked!"
With that, the group walked back into the Kamiya Dojo.
