Ch. 6

Steel Blade Of Loneliness

By: Silver Teardrops

Hanyou-girl25: I'm very sorry it's been like a month since I updated but I had a writers block, I still have one for this story, but I strained my mind to have this chapter out. Okay, thanx for staying wit me, and again sorry- forgive me?

"Kagome!!!" Inuyasha screamed my name, but i paid no heed to it as I advance towards him, not caring about anything, but saving him from that awful spell. Souta moved towards me also only, his face was so sad that I was crying with him. "Kagome-go-run." Souta mouthed rasing the steel blade of his sword up. I smiled and shook my head no reaching out for him. I had removed that necklace around my neck so gracefully and quick that even I didn't know I was doing it. I placed it on Souta and stepped nearing him. And as soon as he looked from Inuyasha he looked dead at me. His eyes had turned a shade of dark red and his mouth no longer moved to the real Souta's will. It was formed into a small smirk a content smile if you may. I looked from INuyasha to Souta once again, I let my hands fall to the ground and just stood there trying to save enough energy to smear the so called blood onto my little brother's hands. I knew he would hate me for doing so, but at least he can hate me; alive. But as I saw the Steel gleam in the bright light, I closed my eyes awaiting the flesh slicing sound of my own. But it never happened. I opened my eyes to find Inuyasha's determined face in view.

I wasn't going to let her die! I couldn't, even if she ordered me, even if she hated me for doing so. I just couldn't. I can't just stand there and watch her die smiling, it's not my way. I'd rather her die when she is old and by my side. So I did the only thing possible, take her out of Souta's way and run as if all the world depended on her being alive. I know-I've disappointed Kagome, I didn't value her choice. INstead I'm making her choice. Running away from her brother.

"INuyasha!!!!" I screamed banging on his arms to release me. But I know he did it for the right reason but what about Souta? He was just going to let him kill, when he knows Souta could never think of such a thing. I cried still yelling at him to let go. I even went down to pleading and crying. "Inuyasha...onegai! I need to...Souta! He can't live a normal life in this era, murdering others! Inuyasha onegai, for me." I pleaded my eyes red and my cheeks full of tears. He stopped and looked at me. I just noticed, his eyes were foggy too, and his cheeks were full of trails of tears. He had been crying. I tried to squirm out of his tight hold but he had burried his head into my chest crying louder than before-pleading to me; like I had earlier to him. I couldn't do anything but stand in shock. I know Inuyasha cried, but I never saw him break down like this before, he was soo vulnerable.

"Kagome, Onegai I'm begging you, don't do this. I don't want to lose you. I need you. I don't want to be alone anymore. Onegai." I kept repeating it, in my mind, and to Kagome. I didn't care if she thought I was weak for breaking so fast like this but any guy who loves his girl too much would rather die than see her throw her life away. I knew I had ran more than miles away from Souta, and he doesn't ahve special abilities so he might take a whole day to catch up. So I just held onto her not wanting her to run back to him and end her life.

We had resigned underneath a tree, Inuyasha was in deep silence and I just stared at him. He was leaning on a tree beside me, while I sat beside him in the open. "kagome...I didn't mean to make you ahte me. I didn't mean to- I just-i couldn't just be there." Inuyasha incoherantly said not looking at anything in particular. "Inuyasha, I love you. So Onegai, understand my decisions. Onegai let me do this. Let me do this for Souta. For everyone who misses him-" Inuyasha burst at my plead. "What? Who misses him? What about you? A lot of people misses you! You need to think about the consequences that will come of your death! If you do the other option to Souta he'll still be alive, he'll just have a scar! Nothing else! kagome Listen! I love you! I don't want to be left here! Who will be by me then? Who!? Answer me this!" I looked at him in another light, he was brash but he was concerned. But I couldn't I wouldn't I'm stubborn, just like he, he should know that.

"No! Inuyasha you listen! I can't hurt him! No matter what! You hear me? This is the only way I will do it and nothing will change it! I love you too, but you have to know that I will never leave you! You hear that, I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU!!!" I screamed and ran towards him burrying my face in his chest only to feel him stiffen. "Kagome, I don't know you anymore. I can't. If you die, then it'll be better if you and me split up." He said standing up letting me fall to the ground. "But! I need you INuyasha! Don't leave me!" I yelled at his back. "Why can you leave me, and I can't leave you?" He asked walking away and disappearing into the dense forest. I stared at it so long that I became cold.

"Inuyasha, did you really mean it? We're not longer...a 'we'?" I asked after the hours I spent staring. I stood up and I heard rustling, maybe I could die now, Inuyasha isn't here to prevent it and right now, I'm at the lowest self esteem I had ever been in my whole life. I stood up and looked at the source of moving bushes and waited for the person to come out. But the person wasn't Souta, instead it was Miroku. "Kagome?" He asked as I opened my eyes. I blinked several times to make sure he was actually real. He went by my side and checked me to see if I was dead or injured or anything. Miroku was that kind of guy now. He didn't act much of as a pervert as when I first met him.

"We have been looking for you since noon. Why are you here all alone? It's not safe." He said taking my arm with his hand and dragging me back the way he came. I stood my ground and he turned around and faced me. "What? What's the matter?" He said. I looked at him, my eyes; I thought it ran out of tears, started to become blurry and watery. "Kagome?" He asked as he neared me. "Miroku.." I sobbed, wiping furiously at my eyes. "Inuyasha, he said, we're split up. We aren't together any longer. That he left me." I sobbed into my friend's arms. He comforted me by "shh"ing me and rubbing my head. I felt like a child in his arms at that moment, even thought we're about the same height.

"Inuyasha didn't mean it probably. He couldn't have. He doesn't want to leave you. maybe he was sop confused that he said that." Miroku tried to convince me but I knew better tha nto listen to a friend rather than listening to the words coming from the person's mouth themselves.

a/n: endin it here so i can update i'll try my best to get another chap out be4 Christmas okay plz review, i feel lyke no one appreciates this story...
