September 4, 2003 Chapter 4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------*^~
Inuyasha jumped from his perch and caught Kikyo in midair. He landed softly with Kikyo unharmed in his arms.
"Kikyo?" Inuyasha whispered to his lover when she didn't look up at him.
"Mmm...Inuyasha?" Kikyo mumbled with a voice not her own. She lofted her face up to him, and he recoiled from her shocked.
Her waxen skin was flushed and warmth radiated off of her, her rosy lips were in a very 'Kagome like' smile. But when he saw her eyes he couldn't hold in a gasp. I t was Kagome looking back at him.
"Ki.Kikyo. What happened?"
"My soul. I got my soul back." She smiled at him happily. "Now we can be together lover."
"But how? For you to have your soul back wouldn't..."
"Kagome is dead. She doesn't have enough of out soul to keep herself alive."
Her eyes sharp and glaring at him now. The coldness of them tainting the beauty they possessed.
"Are you saying, Inuyasha, you would prefer her alive and me dead?" Kikyo became hateful again, anger burned in her. "Do you love that reincarnation. That Kagome over me?"
"No Kikyo. No..."
"You always knew there could only be one of us. I am stronger. I live. Kagome doesn't deserve-"
"No!" He dropped Kikyo. He couldn't bear to look at her, so alive when Kagome. "Kagome!"
He took off in the direction of the village. No, Kagome! She couldn't be dead. How could she be dead? He wanted her-
And Kikyo?
He stopped in his tracks, confused, the realization just hitting him. He wanted them both. Kikyo as him mate, he promised her they'd be together. And Kagome. Kagome as his lover. For her happiness and love, and all that Kikyo had once been.
No! He just found Kagome. He couldn't loose her now.
He turned and punched the tree to his left. It chattered from the force. He turned again and did the same to the surrounding trees. His fists were pouring red blood onto the forest floor and his claws were filled with dirt and wood splinters before he stopped. He didn't want to go to the village. He didn't want to find her not there.
An image of a dead Kagome haunted his thought. He ran forward again trying to escape it. An image of Kikyo taunted him. He couldn't out run his guilt. If he had been there she would be alive. If he had paid more attention.
He got to Kaede's hut quickly and slammed to door open, thundering in like a hurricane. Expecting to see Kagome with Shippou. But Shippou sat alone by the fire in Kagome's sleeping bag. Her yellow bag in the corner. Relief inched towards him. Kagome couldn't have gone anywhere. She wouldn't leave the bag.
Kaede walked in then. "Inuyasha, what are ye doing? Causing all this commotion?"
"Kagome. Where is she?"
"Ah. Kagome went to the well, going home for a week. She told ye so."
"No she didn't!" He was out the door and heading back into the forest. "The well. Of course. She just went home for a break. She's...dead." The words left him mouth before he could stop them. He meant to say 'okay.'
He stood in the clearing by the well. 'She's dead.' Blood bitterer the air. It was a sweet scent really, but it was Kagome's blood. And the amount spilled near the well was enough to be fatal. He leaned over the rim slowly. He saw nothing but darkness.
He jumped into the well. He was stunned when his feet hit the well floor. The overwhelming smells of blood nearly knocking him to his knees.
His bare feet shifted in the moist dirt. He resisted looking down to see what exactly wet his feet.
It was still drenched in blood. It couldn't have happened more then a day ago. He closed his eyes and shouted a colorful bit. Only a day! Just a few hours ago she was alive. Why? How could she die?
With his eyes closed Inuyasha couldn't see the blood. If he couldn't see it, its not real. But he could smell it around him. Any human can pick up the scent of death.
But a demon. He could feel where her body last lay. He could smell every tear that had fallen. He could smell her blood. Every drop. He saw without his eyes were every drop had landed. He could see the unearthly design painted around him.
A tear forced its way between his lids. It was deathly beautiful, it was perfect, it was the exact opposite of life.
"Kagome!!!" He fell to his knees his fist sinking into the scarlet earth. She was gone. His Kagome was actually dead.
And strangely, as they should have, thoughts of the now living Kikyo didn't soften the blow. They didn't make it worse. His first love didn't even grace his thoughts. Only this mattered. Only Kagome. His now love.
------------------*^~
The wench still lay unconscious in his bed. Perhaps he had given her too much credit. She was still human after all. With all her miko powers and potential that is all she would ever be. Limited and weak.
He sat cross-legged on the floor by her side. His hand raised ominously over her heart. Deliberating whether to crush it and stop its undying rhythm. But this is as he has sat for hours. Unable to kill her, to take the life from her trustingly unconscious body.
Every time he was about to make a move she shifted in her obviously troubled sleep. Her eyes would shut tightly and her lips formed silent words. But she did not wake and again he would sit in a vigil over her. Watching over her for the slightest move.
Another hour went by and took with it the last light. He sat in the darkness still seeing perfectly the rise and fall of her chest with each breath.
He listened to the sedating rhythm of her heart. It was strong yet she did not rouse. Frustrated he sighed. He replaced his hand from her heart over her eyes. This has gone on long enough. Naraku wasn't gifted with loads of patience. He waited for no one.
He closed his eyes. "What are you thinking about?"
An image formed for him. Like threw a window he was into her conscience.
She was standing alone. Nothing around her, nothing below her, nothing keeping her up. She just was.
He stared at her for a few moments before he realized she was going nowhere. Its not that she couldn't wake up, she didn't want to. She looked as if she had every intent of spending her life here.
'Show me something else!' He demanded. But the image remained the same. She didn't more, didn't hear him, she didn't even notice he had entered her mind. She just stayed suspended in the darkness, frozen.
And finally it changed.
She wasn't alone. Inuyasha stood behind her. Naraku growled. The mutt was her biggest problem? She is half-dead inside because of him? 'What is so terrible about him.'
She wouldn't answer him. All he could do is watch things play out.
Again Naraku growled. Inuyasha put his arms around Kagome pulling her to him. And again they did not move. Till blood seeped threw the inu hanyou's arms. Naraku tried to take a step forward but stayed in place. It was just like a story he had to wait and see.
Kagome was bleeding. Her blood ran down her legs and pooled at her feet. Inuyasha didn't seem to notice he was hurting her, only hugged her closer. Blood flowed more openly from the wound. 'He's hurting her!' Anger built up inside him. That bastard would pay for each drop of blood he spilled!
The wench was of little concern to him. Let him kill her, part of him coaxed, what concern of your is she? He relaxed at the judgement. But tensed as another gash appeared on her arm, blood trickled down her arm and let fall from her fingertips.
Kagome's face was calm. She felt nothing. She couldn't see what was happening to her. Naraku banged a fist on the invisible wall parting them, sending an air ripple towards Kagome. When it hit her she cam e to life. Her eyes shot open and her lips parted to scream but she didn't. A thin line of blood rolled from the corner of her mouth. It dripped off her chin and joined the puddle on the floor.
He froze when Kagome's eyes landed on him, she could see him though he wasn't there. A single tear ran down her cheek and was lost in the darkness.
After what seem like hours Kagome stopped bleeding. She stopped everything. She was dead. 'No!' After everything! He saved her life. HE would take it! Naraku built up his power determined to end Inuyasha, but stopped when something new happened.
Inuyasha threw Kagome to the side. Her body landed gracelessly by his feet. He bent down to her but she was still untouchable, his hand went threw her. He was a ghost, all he could do is watch. He looked back up at Inuyasha seething, he would pay for touching what was his.
"Inuyasha!" Naraku yelled but the mutt did not hear him. He just stood staring at the pool of blood at his feet. Inuyasha stood as a statue till the blood rippled away from the center where a form was immerging. Slow at first then quickly till the tragic priestess stood before Inuyasha. Inuyasha embraced his lover, no remorse on his face about killing Kagome.
"He would pay! They would pay!" He growled at his inability to do anything. He looked back down to Kagome. Her cold doll like eyes now stared at him. He held down a shiver. After all the deaths he had delivered why did she bother him? He sighed and closed his eyes. 'Kagome...'
A hand shot forward and grabbed his. Her cold fingers encircled his wrist pulling his hand over her breast. His eyes shot open, what? But it was the undying heart beat in her chest that she wanted him to hear. She was alive. The rhythm seemed to build around him.
Again her lips mouthed words, he still couldn't hear. But he could see her lips curving to form his name. Naraku, she whispered silently.
All wall sin her mind broke before him, shattering like glass. The haunting sound echoed threw the darkness, but was unheard by the embracing couple. He stalked towards them, they were ignorant to everything, even their impending death.
With one strike he cut threw them. Their bodies soft as tissue dissolved into the darkness of Kagome's mind. Then the darkness grew and consumed him too.
When the darkness cleared he could see Kagome. Again she was floating in the darkness. Inuyasha approaching from behind. One more step and it would all start over.
'No!' Naraku jumped forward and cut him threw before he could touch Kagome. This Inuyasha too dissolved. When everything stayed the same he took Inuyasha's place behind Kagome. She did not stir even when he put his arms around her.
"Kagome." He whispered delicately in to her ear.
Her body became rigid but she did not pull away. "Inuyasha?"
He growled loudly enough for her to hear she was wrong. 'I am not that whelp' he thought 'I am-'
She relaxed in his hold cutting off his thoughts. "Naraku." She whispered.
He held her like that till her breathing evened out and she was asleep against him. He liked this reaction to him better then the first. Perhaps he might keep her around a bit longer. 'What better way to make the bastard pay then to have his bitch despise his and come willingly to me?'
He lay Kagome down on the floor, and lay behind her, his arms still around her. His hands drifted un-consciously higher to her breast, but only to hear the lulling sound of her heartbeat as he fell asleep.
------------------*^~
Inuyasha noticed something was off. He cursed himself for not noticing this earlier. Where was she? If she died here where was the body? His eyes shot open and he looked desperately for a clue. But it was his nose that found it.
'Naraku!'
His scent marred the sweet scent of Kagome's blood. It was so obvious. It was everywhere. Naraku had killed his Kagome!
His eyes started to glow a deathly red and crimson striped appeared on his cheeks. His demon blood was taking over, even the Tetsusaiga couldn't contain his rage.
A full dog demon leaped out of the dry well and in to the night. The light of the full moon eliminated him and gave him a godly persona. He had gained the grace and appearance of a full demon, leaping smoothly threw the trees.
He wore the scent of blood oh his red robes and it pushed him to go faster. He will find Naraku and make him pay dearly.

Helba _ Yes Kikyo will die but not just yet. How can she be unhappy if she's just dead. Oh she'll pay and Inu too.
------------------*^~
DemonLady1 _ I updated but it took a while. Few, this is harder then I thought it would be.

------------------*^~

dragons _ I also think Naraku wouldn't just fall in love. Thats why this pairing is so hard, and interesting, it will take time and good reason for him to actually feel something. He's been evil and killing things for 50 years to get the jewel he wont just give it up nicely. Hope fully I don't make him to out of character when he starts acting nicer.
And yea Kikyo and Inuyasha will see the new Kagome, Kikyo will die and Inu will pay.
