Chapter 4 Evil Kisses
Disclaimer: One day, I'm gonna brain wash the entire world and make everyone think I'm Rumiko Takahashi. Until then, I don't own Inuyasha. Author's note: I dedicate this last chapter to all those action lovers out there. Enjoy!
"I'm gonna guess you're Rina," he said.
"Ooh, aren't you the smart puppy?" she cooed. He bared his teeth.
"Leave Kagome alone," he growled.
"Oh, I don't think you understand, dog boy," she said, flipping her hair. "It's not her I'm after. It's you." She walked up to him and touched his face. "You are rather cute, though." Kagome had had enough.
"Keep your hands offa him!" she yelled.
"Ooh, scary!" teased Rina. "I've gone and upset the crybaby!" She laughed and brandished a dagger. "You don't think you can take me on, do you? I mean, last time, you caught a lucky break, but this time, I'm not in the mood to play nice." She directed her attention to Inuyasha. "My, you have pretty eyes," she said softly.
"Flattery will get you nowhere," he spat.
"Oh, come now," she said. "Don't be like that. I just want to talk." As she moved forward, he stepped back. She looked shocked. "No one's ever been able to resist my charm before."
"That's because no one's ever known your motive before," he replied.
"I see," she said. "So you've figured me out, have you?" She pulled a mirror from inside her yukata and blew a kiss into it. She then pointed it at Inuyasha. "Well, then, I suppose if I can't have you, no one will! Kiss of Darkness!" A dozen black kisses were fired at the hanyou. The first burned the skin of his wrist, but he effectively dodged the others.
"Neat trick, lady," said Inuyasha, smirking. "Now it's my turn. Iron Reaver, Soul Stealer!" He swiped at the Heart Locker, but she escaped with only a cut.
"You'll have to do better than that, dog boy!" she teased. "Now taste my Razor Kisses!" She blew silver kisses, and they attacked.
"Claws of Blood!" roared Inuyasha. The kisses disappeared in a flash of light. Rina looked mad now.
"Kiss of Blood!" she screamed
"What's with you and kissing?" Inuyasha asked, dodging the kisses that copied his own attack.
"All's fair in love and war," Rina replied. "It's time to finish this." A strange wind blew, and Rina began to glow.
"What in all the hells?!" cried Inuyasha. Rina walked up to him and touched him. He fell to his knees. He was paralyzed! She tilted his head up.
"My poison kiss will take care of you," she said. "I am rather tired of playing with my food." Inuyasha struggled, but couldn't move.
"Inuyasha!" screamed Kagome. Rina bent down to kiss him, and just as her lips were about to touch his, she fell, and missed his lips completely. A glowing arrow was stuck in Rina's back.
'That arrow,' thought Kagome. 'Could it belong to...?' She looked up. Kikyo stood on the limb of a tree, surrounded by her soul-stealing eels. She lowered her bow and gazed down at Kagome. Inuyasha was freed from his paralysis.
"I can move!" he said. He looked down at Rina. "Huh? What's goin'-" He sniffed the air, and looked at the miko in the tree. "Kikyo." She smirked.
"Is that truly you, Inuyasha?" she asked, still smirking. "When we last met, you could at least defend yourself." She hopped down, and walked toward him. She touched his face. "Have you changed so much?" He put his hand on hers.
"Kikyo," he said. She laughed.
"Ahem," said Kagome angrily. "I'm going." She stormed away.
"Kagome, wait!" yelled Inuyasha. He started to run after her.
"Inuyasha," called Kikyo. "You barely escaped with your own life. How long do you think you can keep protecting that girl? She's proven to be quite the burden, hasn't she?" Inuyasha looked back.
"Answer me one question, Kikyo," he said. She looked at him. "What do you have against Kagome?" Her smile disappeared.
"You have changed, Inuyasha," she said. The shikigami wrapped themselves around her. "And had I not died, it would be I who changed you." She disappeared.
'What was that about?' he thought. He then remembered Kagome, and raced after her.

"That was great, Miroku!" said Shippo, pleased with his dinner. "I'm not sure I've ever tasted anything so good!"
"I'm glad you enjoyed it said Miroku. "I thought I'd try something a little different. What did you think, Sango?"
"It was good, I'll admit," she said. She looked at Kagome, who hadn't eaten a thing. "Kagome-chan, are you sure you're all right? You're not eating." Kagome nodded.
"I'm just a little tired," she said sadly. "Excuse me." She cleaned up her dishes and left. Everyone looked daggers at Inuyasha.
"What'd you do this time?" asked Shippo.
"I didn't do anything!" yelled the hanyou. "She just walked off!" They all looked at him skeptically. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Why is Kagome upset?" asked Miroku.
"I wish I knew," replied the half demon sadly. "She wouldn't tell me anything."
'I almost lost him.' Kagome was lying in her sleeping bag, under the 'In my jealousy, I risked his life. I have to control my emotions.' Her eyelids became heavy, and she fell asleep right away.
