Disclaimer: ::cries:: It's....it's true....I don't own Inu Yasha!!!
::finishes crying:: Ok, now that I got that out of my system...here is
Chapter 3. Will you all forgive me that I haven't written in sooo long? I
hope so. I've been absolutely swamped with stuff to do and the only time
I've had to write would be for our school literary magazine and they'll get
more upset than you will that I'm not writing...therefore I haven't written
(obviously). I really do hope you forgive me! Now on with the show!
The clearing opened out like the wings of a bird. A plain surrounded by the dark, beckoning forest. The only sign of life was a large oak. It's branches were thick, it's leaves full and green, typical for the time of year. The screams had long since faded. Inu Yasha lay, his nose pressed to the ground trying to pick up any trace of the woman. Kagome's neat brown shoes tapped impatiently against the ground. "She's not here, Inu Yasha!" Kagome complained for the fifth time.
"She's right Inu Yasha," Miroku agreed, gazing toward the setting sun, "And It's getting late. I think it would be best to set up camp for the night." Sango looked up from tending to Kirara. Her face showed a sudden alertness to it. Inu Yasha sensed it too. His silver ears perked up catching the strange noise. "What do you think it is, Inu Yasha?" Miroku asked. Inu Yasha sniffed the air.
"Demons. And they're closing in fast." Sure enough they came. Their wings fluttered violently, their bodies blocked out the sun, covering the sky in cloud of darkness.
"Inu Yasha!" Kagome screamed. In the darkness she found him. She slipped her hand in his and clenched it tight. Her body shook in fright. In the dark he was glad no one could see. He could feel his cheeks turn red and his heart pounded in his chest. Kagome was so close he could smell the essence of lilacs in her hair. She smelt so much like Kikyo, it hurt inside. It hurt more than any physical wound he had ever had. Through the pain there was a sort of lightness to it. Something about Kagome herself made his heart pump a little faster.
A gust of wind blew from the south. Naraku's wasps hovered several feet above the field. Kagome shivered. She wrapped her arms around Inu Yasha's waist. She could hear his heart as it pounded and felt the warmth from his body. He smelt good. She buried her face in his red, fire-rat shirt. Her muscles relaxed a little preparing herself for whatever they were about to face. This couldn't be happening to her. Another shivered ran along her spine. Jewel shards. Tons of them. "Inu Yasha?" Kagome breathed.
"Hmm?" He grunted. Her body made his head spin. In made him dizzy, like a dream.
"Jewel Shards...I sense them...from the south...tons of them...." Her sentences were broken up.
"Heh, so we meet again, Inu Yasha?" Her voice sang in the air. It floated him out of his 'dream' and back to reality.
"Kikyo?" His voice shattered the air. How could this happen? She saw him with Kagome. No, this was all part of the dream. He had to be still holding Kagome and his mind was just wandering again. But it wasn't. Her voice was as real as Kagome was. "Kikyo...it's not what it looks like!"
"So, are you finally over me?"
"No, it's just..."
"Well, I did hope you were finally over her, Inu Yasha," a chuckle pierced his ears.
"Naraku!"
The wasps thinned out, showing the light of the full moon. What Inu Yasha saw made him want to throw up. His heart cried, he cried. He felt the warm streams of tears flow in separate paths down his cheeks. Naraku held her tight to his chest before pushing her back so he could look into her soft black eyes. Their lips touched ever so lightly at first. Inu Yasha couldn't watch. This couldn't happen to him. "Never!" He thought, "Never could she love him. Why? Why was this happening?" His body shook uncontrollably.
Kagome watched him. How could she be so stupid? Why did she not realize it? No, she knew. She knew Inu Yasha was still in love with Kikyo, but she never wanted to admit it. She smiled. This didn't matter. Kikyo loved Naraku, but still Kagome couldn't help but feel as if someone had just cheated on her.
"No!" Inu Yasha yelled. You can't do this. His legs acted quickly. He would kill him! He would kill Naraku, murder him in cold blood! The Tetsusaiga grew as he pulled it from its steel sheath, "I'LL KILL YOU!"
Inu Yasha's blood ran cold. He could feel his blood, a warm blood trickling through his veins. He began to pant. So hot. Passion flooded his soul. A passion so deep with hate that it blocked out a means of control he had left. What happened next he could not remember. Ok, I'll have a lot longer chapter next time. I hope this one fills your craving for fanfiction. It's a little mushy but now too much...not really much of a mushy person.
PS- this chapter had been revised from itz original format to better fit my writing style.
