Authors Note: Hello all!!! Finally getting over my writers block and some
ideas are pouring through my head right now so I better get to writing
before you all find me and try to eat me. Warning: This chapter is not for
Kikyo fans. I like Kikyo and all, but she doesn't fit in this story. ON
WITH THE STORY!!!!!
The Fall of Kikyo and the Rise of Kagome in Inuyasha's Heart
Inuyasha awoke pretty early the next morning. He was up before the sun. He didn't get up or wake anyone up like he usually did, he felt like letting them rest until they wanted to get up and around. Besides, he enjoyed just looking around at everyone's peaceful sleeping faces and he especially enjoyed the peace and quiet that came with mornings when there are no disturbances in the area.
As soon as the sun began to rise he got up and jumped atop the roof of Kaede's hut to watch and enjoy it. The look on his face was so serene. He had the look on his face that he had after seeing Kikyo and choosing to protect her. (Episode 48 peoples) Even though he had that look on his face, Kikyo was not around nor was she thought of by anyone.
After the sun had risen at least halfway Inuyasha began to hear his friends stirring. He got up and jumped off of the roof and landed gracefully as usual at the entrance of the hut. He went through the doorway and leaned on the doorframe with his arms across his chest. The first person he noticed was his Kagome, the sunlight was shining through the window and raining down on her like a warm golden pool. Inuyasha couldn't help but gaze at her. To him the sunlight hit her just right making her hair shine and her face radiant. By now she had already sat up. She stretched her arms up into the air and yawned. She finally opened her eyes. Kagome looked around and saw Inuyasha standing in the doorway.
"Good morning sleepy head." Inuyasha said smiling a true smile, in which he hadn't done in quite awhile.
"Inuyasha? Why didn't you wake us up like you normally do?" Kagome said rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"I figured you guys would like to sleep in today. Didn't you say today was gonna be . . . . Saturday? Did I pronounce that right? And didn't you say that in your time you like to sleep in on Saturdays"
"Yes you pronounced it right. And you're right, in my era people like to sleep in on Saturdays so thank you. I'm sure the others will appreciate it too."
As the others began to stir Inuyasha went back outside and into the forest to get some food for breakfast. He was near the God tree with two rabbits in hand when he noticed a soul gatherer. He just kept on walking back towards the village because he didn't want to see Kikyo today or any day for that matter. He had changed his mind about who to protect and he didn't feel like going to Hell with her. If he was supposed to have died that day 50 years ago he would have. But the future is not written in stone and so therefore it can be changed. That's why he didn't die that day, he wasn't supposed to. He was destined to meet Kagome and avenge Kikyo's death by killing Naraku. And that's all that needed to be done, nothing more, and nothing less.
As soon as he passed the God tree Kikyo appeared in front of Inuyasha. Her soul gatherers swirled around her. Her face was pale and expressionless. Inuyasha looked down upon her, slightly frowning.
"What do you want Kikyo?"
"Inuyasha, I have come to take you to Hell with me."
"I can't and I won't. The jewel isn't finished and Naraku is still out there. I will not be coming with you to Hell. There is no need for it. As soon as I kill Naraku all that I need to do for you is done. There is no point in me giving up my life for you because I was not meant to die that day. I was meant to be sealed for 50 years and that's it."
"I came after you that day and died because of it. It is only right that you give up your life for mine as I did yours."
"You didn't give up your life or mine. It was your own stupidity that you came after me instead of getting help first."
"If I had done that you would have become a full demon." "And you could have killed me with one of your arrows and gotten the jewel from my body afterwards. I'm not going to Hell with you and that's that. I've gotten over it and you should too. You should go back to the afterlife and be happy for me that at least one of us gets to live." "NO I WILL NOT HAVE THIS!!!" Kikyo screamed and her aura began to glow a deep crimson red. Inuyasha took his cue and tried to run because now he REALLY didn't fell like going to Hell. "YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE INUYASHA!! AND YOU WILL COME TO HELL WITH ME, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!!" Kikyo said and began to float a few inches above the ground. Her hair tie came undone and fell to the ground as her hair feathered out. Her eyes were still the same, although now there was a fire burning within them, a fire of hatred and frustration. Inuyasha had stopped and turned around glaring at Kikyo with his arms across his chest.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*MEANWHILE~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome had noticed Inuyasha was taking a lot longer than usual. She got up and went outside. As soon as her foot hit the ground she knew something was wrong. She looked to the direction of Inuyasha's Forest and saw a demonic glow although it didn't feel demonic. Kagome ran towards the light. She didn't bother getting any of the others because they were all busy with there own thing. Sango was helping Keade gather herbs from the fields. Miroku was giving all of the women in the village a palm reading Shippo was still sleeping and Kirara was playing with the village children.
Kagome had grabbed her bow and arrows and was running as fast as she could towards the light. *Does that light have anything to do with Naraku or is it someone or something else? Is Inuyasha ok? Has he noticed it?* These thoughts ran through Kagome's head as she ran at top speed towards the forest.
Kagome finally reached her destination in a matter of minutes. But before she reached it completely she noticed it was Kikyo, only this Kikyo looked like she had gone mad or something. Kagome stood by a tree and searched for Inuyasha. She soon found him standing a couple yards away from Kikyo. He had an angry look on his face and his fists were clenched.
"KIKYO!!! I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH YOU!!! I WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH KAGOME!!!" Inuyasha bellowed, his temper rising.
At these words Kagome's heart jolted with happiness. *He wants to be with me and not Kikyo? I know he said that last night but it means a lot more when he says it in front of Kikyo.*
"Inuyasha forget about that girl! She is only a mirror image me." Kikyo said with malice written all over her face.
"No you are only her mirror image now. Yeah you came first but you wanted me to become human for you, Kagome wants me to stay the way I am."
Kikyo glared the worst death glare in history at Inuyasha after he said those words. Instead of saying anything she landed on the ground and then a crater began to form below her. She began to levitate again, although the crater still got bigger and bigger. Kikyo floated towards Inuyasha and before he could move she had a strong hold on his arms that even he couldn't get out of. She began pulling him into the crater but he began to struggle. Within seconds Kikyo was in the middle of the crater and her waist was already sucked in. Kagome finally ran out from behind the tree, getting over the shock of things that had just happened. Inuyasha had somehow gotten out of Kikyo's grip but she still had a strong hold on his ankle. His claws dug into the ground trying to get free from Kikyo. Kagome was on her hands and knees kneeling over the edge of the crater although she wasn't being sucked in. *I guess this thing only works for Kikyo and whom she wants it to work for* Kagome thought clutching her bow and arrows.
Inuyasha's foot had already been dragged through with Kikyo unable to be seen now that her whole body had been sucked through to Hell, and now it was working on Inuyasha's shin. Inuyasha saw Kagome and began to fight even harder. Finally Kagome began to crawl down towards Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha I'm coming! Hold On!" Kagome yelled because the sucking noise was actually very loud.
"I'm trying but she has an iron grip on my foot." Inuyasha replied. He was gritting his teeth as his foot began to feel like it was about to break into a million pieces. Kagome took her bow and an arrow and readied it. She finally made it to the center and stood up. She pointed the bow downwards at the middle of the crater, she released the arrow and it shot through the crater and into Hell. Inuyasha and Kagome heard an ear splitting scream and they assumed the arrow had hit Kikyo. Inuyasha's foot was released and the sucking noise stopped. Inuyasha collapsed to ground exhausted from all of the energy he used to try and get away from Kikyo. He rolled over onto his back and put his hands under his head. Kagome sat there staring at Inuyasha happy that he was ok.
"Well now that that's over maybe we should head back to the village. I'm pretty sure everyone's wondering where we are and why we haven't gotten them breakfast yet." Kagome said standing up. She held out her hand for Inuyasha who took it and pulled himself up. But before Kagome could get anywhere Inuyasha had her in a tight embrace. His arms were wrapped around her waist and hers were around his neck. They stood there for a moment staring at each other happily, both thinking that they were grateful to be able to be in each others arms. Inuyasha brought his face down to hers and kissed her lightly on the lips. Kagome deepened the kiss by standing on her tiptoes so she could get to him better. They soon parted for air and then started their way back to the village.
Everyone decided that they wanted to stay for an extra day and agreed that they would get up early tomorrow and start their hunt for Naraku and Jewel shards.
Authors note: so whaddya think??? I hope this chapter was longer and better than the others 'cuz I like to keep my reviewers happy. So R&R plz. The more reviews I get the happier I am and the happier I am the more I write. I would also like a few ideas for the next chapter. Should they find Naraku and go after him or should something else happen like inu/kag fluff. Tell me in a review
