Chapter 18
'This is really good Sango!' Kagome exclaimed. Trying to get the group to think of something other then their current predicament.
'Thanks it is a special recipe from my village.'
They all sat in silence for a moment before Miroku stood up and yelled, 'I have go it!'
'You have got what Miroku other then you food all over you?' Asked Sango, as Miroku looked upon his robes he had spilt his food everywhere, the floor was covered.
'Well I have an idea on what we can do. I am pretty sure it should work.' They all stopped eating and gave Miroku their full attention. 'Well as I see it Kikyo is smart and powerful but she wouldn't be to fare away from Inuyasha. She did say she was going to seal the well if Kagome left and the only way she would know Kagome left is to be near by. Therefor she has a sent in the area. If we can get Shippo or Kilala to pick up her sent and take us to her then all we have to do is attack her. So we can give Kagome time to load her bow and shoot Kikyo! What do you think?' They all sat for a moment as they pondered over the plan.
'That sounds like ye have a good plan Miroku if ye catch my sister off guard she wont have time to see through what ye are planning. Ye must make ye search for her perfect if ye falters she will realize ye are after her.'
'What if I can't hit her though? What if you all end up dead and it is all my fault!' Kagome blurted out. Her dream was still fresh in her mind. "They were all dead... it was all my fault... I must do this right."
Miroku sensed the scared tone of her voice and quickly tried to reassure her. 'We will be fine Kagome we can't be brought down by Kikyo, not if we stand together.'
'Then we shall!' Sango had a very convincing tone in her voice. 'When do we leave?'
'We will leave at dawn that way we can catch her while she is asleep and if she is awake the lack of sun will hid us well.' They all agreed and stated to prepare for what the next day would bring.
One hour before dawn
'Are you ready everyone?' Sango called to the group.
'Yes' came the call from around the hut.
'Then we are off to the god tree we can't find her without a sent!' As they walked to the god tree they all worried about what would come as the day ended, would they win or end up dead. When they neared the clearing Kagome ran a head of the group she forgot she had never tried to pull the arrow out and she was going to try.
'Kagome come back where are you going!' They got no answer Kagome was already at the tree. He looked as he did the first time she had ever seen him but the peaceful expression he had the first time was gone. In its place was one of despair and pain She had to get him down! She took her hand and started to pull on the arrow. As the others watched she collapsed beside the tree. Her energy was gone and the arrow hadn't moved and inch.
'It is ok Kagome you will get him down.' Shippo sat on her lap and waited for her to get up.
'You are right Shippo lets go.'
'Kagome let Kilala sniff your hand it has Kikyo's sent on it from the arrow.'
'Ok' Kagome stuck her hand to Kilala's nose it took but a second and they were off again.
'Kikyo must be near for the sent to be picked up that fast.' Sango yelled as she ran to try to keep up to Kilala. They stopped right before a small clearing not to fare away form were Inuyasha was. As they looked upon it Kikyo stood as if ready for something coming. Had she really known they were coming?
'Well are you coming or would you prefer to coward in the bushes?' Kikyo said with her back turned to them. They had all been waiting for this. The attacks stated. Sango was first she ran at Kikyo and trough hirikuos. This did no good as Kikyo merle deflected it with her bow and shot Sango into a tree with a burst of energy. She landed hard but seemed to be unharmed. Miroku was there to defend her in a minuet. He reached for his wind tunnel.
'Don't even think about it monk. I would have you killed before you could even opened it slightly.' He was frozen in spot as Kikyo had her arrow pointing right at him. 'I new you were coming. With all the noise you were making it wasn't hard to guess. In the end though I will have Inuyasha and you will all be dead!' She pulled back the arrow string.
'Let that arrow fly Kikyo and I will kill you as well!' Kagome stood at the edge of the clearing. Shippo and Kilala were behind her. They had done it Kikyo was trapped or so they though.
'Do you really expect to win like that! You may be able to kill me but the moment you let that arrow fly the monk will die! The same will happen if any of the demons behind you move.' They were stuck neither could do anything without being killed or have someone else killed. "What do I do!" Kagome's mind was screaming at her again.
'I will let the monk live if you leave this world!' Kagome couldn't find anything to do but she wouldn't run.
'Kagome!' Came Miroku's voice. 'Kill her! It doesn't matter if I die it was bound to happen sooner or latter.'
Sango shifted in her spot. She wasn't going to sit there and have Miroku killed. Her weapon was by her and if needed she could get in front of Miroku and block the arrow.
'Don't bother he will die before you can reach him.' Kikyo warned.
It was almost, as if she could read her mind and Sango didn't like it. The fact she couldn't do anything was eating away at her.
'No Miroku I will not let you sacrifice yourself!' Kagome yelled.
'Make your decision or I will just kill him!' They were so warped up over who was going to die. Kikyo never noticed that Shippo had transformed into a bug and was not crawling towards her. "I will be brave... Inuyasha will be proud!' As he went as fast as he could towards Kikyo he wasn't sure what he would do but something had to be done.
'Kagome decide carefully you have all the time you need!' Sango yelled from behind Miroku. 'I know you will do the right thing.
'Shut up! She has no time she must decide if he will die!' As she finished there was a snap and an arrow was fired.
'NNNNOOOOOOOOO' Kikyo screamed, as she stood unarmed with Kagome's arrow piercing through her. Kagome stood there in stunned the seen was the same Miroku and Sango were behind Kikyo, it was the same clearing, the battle was over Inuyasha, and the only difference was... Kikyo was being destroyed by the arrow and not her. Why was that change there? Had her dream been trying to tell her something? It didn't matter just then the arrow secede to move and Kikyo secede to exist. Her body returned to its original state as ashes and dirt fell to the ground.
Kagome was breathing hard as she stood there trying to take everything that had happened in. Was Kikyo truly gone had she done it? She had no time to ponder this as the remainder of her soul returned to her and she blacked out.
'KAGOME!!!' Shippo yelled as he ran towards her.
'Shippo leave her be. The shock of the battle and her soul being reconnected was too much for her. She will be fine.' Miroku said as he helped Sango to her feet. They both walked over to Shippo and decided to wait there till Kagome recovered. After all there was no danger now.
'Shippo what did you do?' Sango asked as sat by Kagome.
Shippo was feeling very proud of himself. He had helped destroy Kikyo! ' I went into my bug form and while you guys were arguing I bit her bowstring. It snapped leaving her completely defenseless.'
'That was brilliant Shippo you are a true hero!' They all congratulated him as they sat and waited.
20 min latter
After a dreamless sleep Kagome finally awoke. She was lying in the field with all her friends sitting around her.
'Kagome you are awake!' Shippo called as he bounded over to her. 'I am so glad you are finally awake. Are you ok?'
'Yes I am quite fine Shippo thank you for asking. Although I feel as if all my energy has left me. Sango would you mind.'
'No, not at all.' They helped her to her feet and when she was steady Kilala was all ready to carry her off.
'Shall we go get Inuyasha down!' She yelled as Kilala flew off towards the god tree.
When they arrived their hearts were full of hope.
'Are you ready Kagome?' Miroku asked before they landed.
'Yes I will be fine.' She walked up to the god tree and reached for the arrow once more.
