Miroku held Sango's limp hand in his, praying for the best. He jumped when the nurse entered. "Is she going to be ok?"He asked, not taking his eyes off of Sango.

"She was badly injured in the kidney and she probubly won't wake up for a while...but we're pretty sure she'll live. Inuyasha stood there, never taking his eyes off of his shoes. He recognized Sango's assasin's scent. It was the same as Naraku's. But why?! Why would his friend do this to him? He glanced up to see Miroku's outraged face.

"What do you you mean.....you're pretty sure?!"He got up slowly and walked towards the nurse.

"I...I...don't know sir....."Said the nurse.Miroku was furious and threw himself at her. Inuyasha quickly got up and retrived Miroku's hands for the nurses face.

"Miroku!! MIROKU!!!"He said, slapping him. Miroku shook his head in utter confusion. He sat down on the floor and burst into tears. The nurse quickly got up and ran out. Inuyasha took Miroku's hand and slowly lead him out.

Kikyou sat...just sat there. Nothing to do in her window-less room. She thought about Inuyasha. Sango....poor Sango...She burst into tears at the thought of it. He's just evil. Pure evil. He's the only one who actually deserved to die. She quietly stood up as she heard footsteps. He opened the door and inched towards her. He gently wrapped his arms around her and pulled Kikyou closer."Kikyou....you know I love you."

"Yes."

"Well....do you love me too?"He said, tightening his grip.

"yes."She lied.

"Don't give me that shit. Say it like you mean it!!"He said, tightening it more.

She winced."I love you too, Naraku."

"Good."

Inuyasha stared at the posters lining his bed. Finally, he was alone. He hadn't seen Kikyou, Miroku...or poor Sango at school today. He was so worried about Kikyou. He turned over and studied the picture of him and Kikyou."I'll kill Naraku. Next time I see him, i'll ask him. If he says yes, i'll blow his brains out."He said, taking out a gun. He slowly slipped it into his pocket and left. He swiftly walked past all the news stands and random people. As he got to the alley which lead to Naraku's apartment. He slowly reached the ladder to be greeted by Kikyou. Before even saying hello, she gently took his wrist and lead him to a beautiful hill. She gently put him down and threw herself into his arms.

"Inuyasha....can I tell you anything?"She asked, looking up to him with her beautiful eyes full of tears.

"Yeah..."He said, feeling awkward yet conforatable.

"Promise?"She asked.

"Yeah...."

She then told him everything...about Naraku, what he did to her, what he did to Sango...everything. She looked up to see Inuyasha's gaping mouth.All he could think about was how he had let her go through this."Kikyou...i'll never let that bastard touch you again..."He hugged her.

"No! That's the problem!! You can't tell anyone..."She said, looking at him seriously.

"You've gotta be kidd..."He tried to say, but she hugged him tightly.

"Please don't...Inuyasha..."Said Kikyou. He looked dissapointed and slowly nodded."Thankyou..."She said. Suddenly, there was a rustle in the bushes. She quickly pulled away to his dissapointment and gasped as she saw Naraku enter through the bushes.

"Well...hello there. Hi Inuyasha. Sorry, but can I take Kikyou for a while?"He said, grinning. Inuyasha slowly looked to Kikyou, biting her lip.

"No."He said, standing infront of her.

She gasped and quickly cried out,"Inuyasha!! No!!!"

"Sorry Kikyou, but you don't deserve to be treated like this. You deserve so much better."Said Inuyasha, taking out a gun.

"No!! NO!!! It's not supposed to be like this Inu!! Don't make me regret telling you!!!"She said, clinging to him.

"You told him!! BITCH!!!"Naraku said, no longer amused."Inuyasha, who cares about that bitch? We can blast her away with the damn gun!!!"

"You bastard!!! HOW DARE YOU!!!!"He said, getting the gun ready. Kikyou clung to him, panting heavily. Inuyasha reached back and pulled her to him, for safety reasons. Just in case, he'd take a bullet for her.

Naraku smirked and stood straight."We're blood brothers Inuyasha. We bolth swore that nothing mattered more than each other."Naraku slowly stepped forward, but Inuyasha shot him purposely on the very side of his cheek. He really didn't want anyone to die here, but he's like to scare the shit out of Naraku."YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!! TRADER!!!"Said Naraku, lunging at him. Inuyasha pushed Kikyou away and grabbed onto Naraku's wrist. He wasn't gonna get away from here. One of them would have to die, and it sure as hell wouldn't be Inuyasha.

"Kikyou!!! Go down the cliff!!"He said, pointing down. She could easily climb...but...

"Inuyasha!! I won't leave you!!"She said.

"Yeah!! Bitch, don't leave!! I want you to see your fucking boyfriend here die!!!"Said Naraku.

She narrowed her eyes and ran over to the cliff. Slowly lowering her head down, she grabbed a branch and started climbing.

Naraku reached down into his pocket and took out a knife. Inuyasha's eyes opened wide as he jumped away. "Now brother, it's time to die."Said Naraku, slowly walking towards him.

Kikyou had already gotten halfway down when she realised what she was doing. She was running. Inuyasha was risking his life for her, and all she could do was run. Pathetic. Honestly, pathetic. She slowly reached for the branch above her.

Inuyasha dodged the first blow by Naraku, and barely missed the next. He struggled to face the gun to his friend and pulled the trigger. Surprisingly enough, a bullet flew out. It shot Naraku in the arm, and he quickly cried out in pain. Inuyasha, knowing he was no match to Naraku, ran away. He ran past the cars and dirt piles and listened for Naraku. Nothing. He ran behind another, fearing for his and Kikyou's life. She was out now...right?

"I'm sorry Inu. It was just a game..ok? I took it to far, I know!! I'm sorry...."Said Naraku. Shit, he was close. But Inuyasha wasn't stupid. He wouldn't fall for this sort of thing. Inuyasha made the last choice that came to his mind.

He ran.

Kikyou quietly stepped around the empty lot looking for Inuyasha. She wasn't gonna run away anymore. No more. It was dark now, and she couldn't see a thing. She didn't dare call out his name, it would alert Naraku. She felt something crawling on her leg, so she quickly kicked it and fell over. She gasped as she felt the wind get kocked out of her as she was punched. "There's more where that came from, girl."Said the figure.

"You just let her go?!"Cried Miroku, staring at Inuyasha in disbelief."She might be hurt!! We have to go and kill Naraku and save Kikyou!! Do it for her!!! Do it for ...Sango..."

"You think it's that easy Miroku?! DO YOU THINK I TRIED TO KEEP KIKYOU THERE?!"Yelled Inuyasha.

Inuyasha had returned to talk to Miroku, to find that Kikyou hadn't returned yet.

"Fine then, Inuyasha!!!! THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SUGGESTING!!! GOING TOGETHER!!!"Miroku said.

"FINE THEN!!!!"

"OK!!!!"

Kikyou struggled against Naraku as he took out the same knife that could have killed Inuyasha. "See this? This is the same blade that killed your oh-so-very lovely boyfriend Inuyasha!!!"Naraku lied."Now you guys can be like brother and sister, only one dead and one in living hell!! Tears streaked down her face as Naraku stabbed her back and the stomach.

"BASTARD!!!"She cried."You damn bastard!!!"She said, starting to choke a little on her blood.

"You're so lucky I don't kill you....."Said Naraku, brushing her cheek gently.

{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}{*}

Inuyasha winced in pain as he stepped on a piece of glass. Miroku and him were gonna kill Naraku. In the most disgusting and awful nway. Then take Kikyou away from his sickening claws. Miroku yelped as he heard a large dog barking. "Shutup!!"Said Inuyasha, still testy. They had brought 2 guns, 1 knife, and a lighter. One way or another, they were gonna kill him. And we're gonna save Kikyou!!!

It was raining again, raining hard. Suits the occasion, Inuyasha thought. They, after what seemed like hours, faced Naraku's apartment. Miroku went up the ladder first, hungry for revenge for poor Sango, followed by Inuyasha, who was twitching his ears madly in frustration. When they reached Naraku's room Miroku's eyes grew red with rage, as he stayed in his spot."Move Miroku!! We have to get Kikyou!!!"Said Inuyasha.

"Look at this!!"Said Miroku, moving and pointing into the window. There was Naraku....an unconsious, bloody Kikyou, and Naraku slowly licking the blood off of the knife.

Inuyasha couldn't control himself after seeing this. He broke the window and lunged at Naraku."Inuyasha!! NOOOO!!!"Screamed Miroku, after Inuyasha had demolished his plan completely. Remembering Kikyou, Miroku went inside and grabbed her. He gently lifted her outside and put her down.

"I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!!YOU BASTARD!!! I'LL KILLLLLLL YOOOOUUU!!!!!"Screamed Inuyasha, outraged. Naraku smirked and blocked Inuyasha's Iron Reever. He stood up and licked his lips. "You...YOU SICK BASTARD!!!"He screamed.

Kikyou slowly opened her eyes. How long had she been unconsious? Her ribs and back ached. She then noticed the screaming and turned over. She gasped as if it all were in slow motion. "INUYASHA!!!"She screamed, throwing herself by his side. Inuyasha had just gotten stabbed by Naraku....but he wasn't in critical condition.

"Well....it's my turn now."Said Miroku, taking out a gun.

"No!!!!"Screamed Kikyou, getting infront of the pistol.

"What are you doing Ki?"Asked Miroku."Move!!!"

"No!!! I don't want anyone to die!!!!!"Cried Kikyou.

"Kikyou!!! Don't be stupid!!!"Yelled Miroku. Naraku put his hands on his hips and smirked. Inuyasha's mouthed gaped as he stuttered.

Miroku did the only thing he could think of. He pushed her. She cried out as a dark force soaked out of her body..."Miroku!! I bet she was being controled by Naraku!!!"Yelled Inuyasha.

"Oh....well...that explains alot..."Said Miroku. Bolth of them looked but nothing was there. Inuyasha gasped.

"Where's Kikyou?!!"He asked.

"Right there."Said Miroku, pointing to Kikyou.

"Oh."
