Chapter 17
The hut was booming with Kaede and Miroku's discussion. Shippo just sat over to the side thinking in his head. Nothing seamed to bother them at that moment or so it appeared because as soon as Kagome walked into the hut they all went silent.
Kaede was the first to brake the uneasy silence. 'Child come sit with us.'
They all sat in a small circle around the fire.
'Kaede is it true do you really have an idea on how to get Inuyasha down!' Kagome asked eagerly.
'Now Kagome we don't want ye doing anything rash. We all want to see Inuyasha down but we can't lose our heads and run off without thinking.'
'Listen to Miroku child. We don't need to lose you to.'
'Ok I promise I will ask to you before making any decisions.' They all stared at her uneasy they weren't sure what this would do to her. She was lost to them for a day after he was stuck to the tree. What would her task do to her? They all just hoped that she would think it through and not do anything that could get herself killed.
'If ye promise child then I will continue. Miroku came up with the valid point that to make sure ye don't pull out the arrow she would have to bind it to herself. Do ye fallow?' Kagome nodded. 'Good, I now my sister well and that is the only thing she could do to stop you. Her powers may be strong but as we have all seen yours are growing and are equal or greater then hers could ever be. There is no other way she could stop you from pulling it out.' Kaede stopped and took a breath. ' So you see we must first of all go and see if you can pull out the arrow.'
'But what if she can't Lady Kaede?'
'If she can't remove the arrow then I am correct and the only way to brake the spell is...' She was finding it difficult to continue.
'Is how Kaede?' Kagome was eager to know yet if Kaede was having problems telling them then it wasn't going to be good.
'You will have to kill Kikyo my child.' Her words were slow and soft. The others new the plan and weren't very effected by the task but Kagome just sat there with a blank look on her face as if lost in a deep though. "WHAT I HAVE TO KILL KIKYO!!!" her mind was screaming at her. "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!! WHAT DO I DO!!! I can't kill Kikyo Inuyasha loves her... wait he said he loved me though... can he love us both or does he no longer feel for her after what she did. I wish he was here then he could tell me what he wanted... but he isn't and it is all my fault!!!!!" Kagome's eyes started to fill with tears as she though but she convinced herself if she was going to do either of her options she needed to stay calm. The others noticed immediately and wanted to say something but new it was best to just let her figure this one out on her own. "Why do I have to do this?" She asked herself. "Haven't I been through enough in he last couple days? Why can't there ever be and easy solution!" As she though a something important donned on her.
In a shaky voice she started to talk. 'Kaede how are you willing to let me kill you sister... doesn't that hurt you?' Nobody had even though about this before Kagome except Kaede. 'Doesn't it hurt you incredibly to have to lose her twice? How can I do this if I causes you pain?' The words hurt her to say because she wasn't sure what was right anymore. She didn't get the reply she expected though from the old lady.
'Kagome... I have though on this for a long time and after a while I realized that the Kikyo you all know isn't even my sister. She is only a clay pot with my sister's memories. She has caused enough pain in this world. The true reason though is that my sister loved Inuyasha and this one only wants to fill the empty feeling that my sister died with. Does that make sense child? My sister would never have pinned him to that tree again and if she truly loved him she would want him to be happy. That wouldn't matter if she was in his life or not. It is just better for us all if she is gone form this world and goes back to the one she belongs in.' Her words got them all thinking and non of them could find any flaw in what she had said. 'It will not hurt me if you take her from this world Kagome. It will make me happy if anything for I can then put my sisters soul to rest.'
'Thank you Kaede' Kagome said in a soft voice but it was full of respect and happiness. She could now get Inuyasha down without any regrets except...
'What if Inuyasha wants to be with Kikyo and not me?' She hadn't noticed
but she had started talking out loud. The others had merle thought she
would want to get Inuyasha down with no questions asked but they soon realized there mistake. Sango was the fist to speak to that point Kagome
had made.
'Kagome listen to me if Inuyasha wanted to be with Kikyo do you think that he would have sacrificed himself to save you when he could have just let
the arrow hit you and be with Kikyo once you were dead?'
Kagome was a bit shocked at being heard but soon regained her composure 'Ya... but I am his jewel detector he couldn't let anything happen to me' Her voice was shaky and full of the tears she wouldn't let fall. Sango again
was the one to disagree with her.
'Kagome you know as well as I that Kikyo can see the jewel shards if he didn't need to keep you around to be a jewel detector! He loved you Kagome I don't know if he ever told you but anyone who constantly puts there life on the line for you does and I hope you can see that.' After she was done
she gave Miroku a quick smile before waiting for a reply form Kagome.
Kagome knew that Inuyasha loved her but what Sango had said only asunder her more. She was just avoiding what she needed to do. After being silent
for the longest time Miroku finally found a spot to jump in.
'Now that that is settled Kaede how do you know this will work?'
'I am not sure it will work but it is our only chance.' How often Kagome heard those words but she never liked them any better. ' As I see it when Kikyo died the part of her soul that belongs to Kagome will return to her. This will give ye the chance to pull out the arrow for if Kikyo is the only
one who can pull out the arrow then ye will have a part of Kikyo. Do ye
still understand?' It was all becoming clear to them.
'Yes I see what must be done Kaede.' Kagome replied. There was only one big
problem left...
'How do we kill Kikyo?'
A.N: I promise to update soon I hope you liked it. I think I know how to
kill Kikyo but if you have any idea's they are much appreciated. So you
want it to end after the conflict is resolved or should there be more
conflict? Your choice. Review!!!!
