(or I shall becum agitated) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ She looked around trying to figure out what happened. Kikyo stood across from her with a blank expression on her face almost as if someone had scared the emotions out of her. Kikyo stared out past Kagome and so reluctantly Kagome turned around to face what was behind her... ************************************************************************ "Kikyo you evil b1tch", InuYasha thought as Kagome and Kikyo raised their arrows to each other. "K-Kagome", he said. "You came back." She ignored him concentrating on the problem in front of her. He listened to them exchange their verbal insults. Then Kagome launched an arrow. Surprisingly nothing inside InuYasha told him to go help Kikyo as it normally would have. And then Kikyo stepped aside and Kagome's arrow proved useless. Kikyo laughed an evil laugh. She took the bow and arrow and shot them at Kagome. A look of fear crossed Kagome's face. She held her arms over her head bracing herself for the pain. InuYasha suddenly found a strength within himself. He leaped to his feet and jumped into Kagome throwing her out of the path of the arrow. She kept her eyes shut tight. He on the other hand got hit in the arm. The arrow didn't stay just cut him. But on top of his other injuries he didn't need any scrapes. Kikyo looked InuYasha in the eyes shocked by his loyalty to Kagome and the fact that he had risked his life for hers. ************************************************************************ "That fool just put his own life in danger for that girl", Kikyo thought as she stared out at the scene. "When Kagome shot one of her arrows at me I saw him do nothing to come to my aid as he usually would." She stared blankly at the two people ahead of her. "Does he love her more than he does myself", Kikyo thought. "Impossible. I'm the only one he's ever wanted. And this girl... she is nothing compared to me!" *********************************************************************** Kagome turned around and saw InuYasha almost directly behind her rubbing his arm. A small trickle of blood flowed onto the ground. She knelt next to him. "InuYasha are you alright", she asked obviously concerned. "I... I'll be fine Kagome. You go. I... I'll catch up as...a... as soon as I can get rid... rid of k... Kikyo", he said with much effort. Kagome grabbed the Tetsusaiga out of its sheath. Her eyes grew angry. She held the mighty sword up and stared straight at Kikyo. And Kagome, who never swears hardly, said," This is the last time you will try to kill any of us. Die b1tch!" She charged at Kikyo... *********************************************************************** InuYasha rubbed his arm where it was hit. Kagome turned around and looked at him. A tiny gasp escaped as she knelt next to him. "InuYasha are you alright", she asked. He replied after much effort," I... I'll be fine Kagome. You go. I... I'll catch up as...a...as soon as I can get rid of k...Kikyo." Then Kagome grabbed the Tetsusaiga out of its sheath. "What the hell is she doing", InuYasha thought as she stood up facing Kikyo. "This is the last time you will try to kill any of us. Die b1tch", Kagome yelled as she charged at Kikyo. Kikyo stepped back not expecting this latest development. Kagome hit her arm with the large sword. Kikyo let out a small cry staring down at her arm. She got mad and smacked Kagome with her bow. Kagome quickly shook it off. "Damn it Kagome get away from there", InuYasha yelled. She shook her head and charged at Kikyo again. "She's so stubborn", he thought to himself. He lept to his feet causing all sorts of dormant pains to spring to life. He didn't care. He had to protect Kagome. Kikyo picked up the arrow that Kagome had launched at her earlier. "Take this", she yelled launching it at Kagome. InuYasha pushed her away and grabbed the sword. "Crazy you're gonna get yourself killed", he yelled. He stood up holding the Tetsusaiga unsteadily. ************************************************************************ Kagome charged at Kikyo. After several feeble attempts InuYasha rushed over to her aid. Kikyo took the time it took them to have a mini fight to find another arrow. She shot it and it hit Kagome in the arm. She winced with pain before blacking out. ************************************************************************ InuYasha looked at Kagome's limp body. "Damn you b1tch", he yelled at Kikyo. "What's wrong InuYasha", she asked innocently. "Are you not pleased I hurt her? Now you and I can get on with our lives without her interfering." She closed her eyes and let out a laugh. He took the oppurtunity to swing Tetsusaiga at her. "Have it your way fool", she yelled as her soul collectors lifted her away. He stared after her for another second before turning to Kagome. He ran over to her. "Kagome", he said her name gently trying to bring her back into consciousness. ************************************************************************ Kagome opened her eyes and stared up at InuYasha's face. He smiled softly seeing her open her eyes. "Wh- what happened", she asked sore. "It's not important", InuYasha said holding her close. She rested her head on the edge of his arm. "Everyone will find us when morning comes", InuYasha said leaning against a tree still holding Kagome. "You can rest until then." Kagome wanted to say no and tell him to rest because he was hurt a lot worse than she was. But she was too comfortable. She leaned against InuYasha and let sleep take her. ************************************************************************ Kagome fell asleep leaning against InuYasha. He looked down at her sleeping face. She was smiling. InuYasha smiled slightly. "You almost died today", he thought to himself. "I don't know what I would do if I had lost you." He hugged her closer determined nothing more would harm her. *********************************************************************** Finally after hours of waiting the yasha gang found InuYasha and Kagome who were both injured. "What happened", Sango asked bending over Kagome's arm. "Was there a fight here", Miroku asked stepping over towards InuYasha. "Somethin' like that", he said in his normal smug way. "Kikyo came back to kill me." Everyone gasped. Whe n they had found InuYasha and Kagome they didn't look mad at each other. Miroku, Sango and Shippo went into the forest to look for water and herbs. "You almost get killed ya know", InuYasha said matter of factly to Kagome. "What about you", she shot back. "You shouldn't have even been fighting!" "Well what was I supposed to do? stand back and let Kikyo destroy you?" Kagome sighed not knowing how to respond. "No it's just that... I worry about you." "You don't have to worry I can take care of myself." Kagome suddenly hugged him. After a moment of shock InuYasha hugged her back. She pulled away and stared into his eyes. "InuYasha I... I love you InuYasha." She thought," Where did that come from?" He looked back into her eyes. "I... I love you two Kagome." He wrapped his arms back around her hugging her. She buried her face in his arm. When they finally stopped hugging they stared into each others' eyes again. Then each shut their eyes and leaned in to each other and kissed. ********************************************************************* well I supposed I'm supposed to tell you now that they lived happilly ever after. nope. what fun would that be!
