Chapter 8- Betrayal and Goodnight
"When they come for me I'll be sitting at my desk with a gun to my head, wearing a bullet proof vest. (Singing) "my my my" how the time does fly when you know your gunna die by the end of the night."- Keasby Nights by: Catch 22
PatrioticPuppy: Kagome died. Sorta. I dunno its a weird state to discribe. I forget what the word to discribe it. But, you can think of it as dieing and then coming back to life. Like, a dream that is actually happening. Does that help at all? Sorry for the confusion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome and Satsuki had just arrived back from their walk. Kagome called for Kouga, but it resulted in no responce. She tried again, then called for Shesshomaru. He too did not respond. Neither came. Usually Kouga would be all over her and the baby whenever she would so much as walk in the room. Shesshomaru would come and check on them within a few seconds. But for no responce from either, that wasn't right.
"Something's not right." Kagome's eyes searched her surroundings for hints. Satsuki began to whimper. She scensed what Kagome could not. Satsuki knew what was happening. Kagome ran for her arrows, then she remembered something that made her skin crawl and her body shake.
"He took them. He made me get rid of them. He took my arrows!" her mind cried. "NOOOO!!!" Kagome screamed. "I've gotta think of something quick. For Satsuki. What am I gunna do?!" Kagome tried hard not to panic. She had to think of a way out of this. "Run!" Her mind commanded and she obeyed.
Kagome began to run blindly. Bushes and branches scraped at her shins and her eyes searched for a way to escape. Kagome's foot caught a tree root and she flew forward. The ground was cold, painful. She struggled to get up when a stab a pain shot through her leg and she looked down. A large, deep gash had carved itself into her leg and blood poured out. Kagome ignored the pain and continued to run. The area looked familiar and she saw the light at the end of the forest. The God Tree. That's where she had run to, it was the only place her sub-concious could think of. Kagome tried to sush Satsuki for she could hear her pursuer behind her, but because Kagome was bleeding she knew that it would serve no true purpose, he could sense her out without even trying. She just didn't want her baby to cry, she hated the sound of it. Just as Inuyasha had hated the sound of her own crying. Kagome's pursuer was closing in. He was right behind them. Kagome's chest burned like fire and she clutched Satsuki. She heard leaves stirring as the attacker closed the distance between them.
Fear ran through Kagome's veins. All that she could think about was getting Satsuki to safety. She wasn't going to let this infant die. Satsuki had to much to live for, to much to see and do, she had to live! Inuyasha's daughter had to live and grow old. Inuyasha would want that. Kagome wanted it. This couldn't be happening. Kagome had been tricked. "I can't believe I let this happen." A tear ran down Kagome's face, she scolded herself quietly as she continued to run. A whip noise fell about Kagome and the two (Satsuki and Kagome) hit the ground. Kagome made a small, constraint gasp and her brown eyes were beginning to fill with red and her pupils disappeared. She lay on the ground with Satsuki, to the far side above her head, crying. Kagome's arms were above her head with her face down. Blood seeped through her clothing, staining it and the ground below.
"Silence Mut!" the attacker growled and put the poor baby into a permant sleep with a single swip of his hand. Just like he had done to Kagome. "Two down, one to go." Shesshomaru turned around and began to walk away. His bloody claws still had one more victim.
"KAGOME! Kagome where are you?!" Kouga's voice rang throughout the woods. Shesshomaru took his time getting to the wolf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Her scent was still strong. But their was something distinct on it. He recognized it almost immediately as the scent of blood. Kagome's blood. "I have to get her. I have to find her. Something's not right and with Satsuki, Kagome's a walking target." Kouga's mind raced as fast as his legs.
Kouga's agravation grew as his desprate search continued. On any other given day, Kouga would have easily been able to find her. For so reason however, he couldn't stay on her scent long enough to catch up. The faint aroma of Kagome once again caught his nose, along with the scent of her attacker. His eyes widened, his body growled when his mind made the connection. It was Shesshomaru. Shesshomaru had been the one to attack Kagome. Now everything made sense.
Since Inuyasha had died, Shesshomaru had been acting a little too nice to Kagome. His character had changed completely towards the both of them. He had even convinced her to get rid of her arrows, and anything that she might be able to use to defend herself against any attack. Kouga couldn't believe he had been tricked so easily. And by Shesshomaru. SHESSHOMARU OF ALL PEOPLE! Cruel, heartless, cold, human-hating Shesshomaru suddenly becoming kind, loving, "here let me get this for you", food bringing, helpful Uncle Shesshomaru. Kouga stood there as the pieces of the puzzle fell into place.
"It was a trap! Agh! I should have known! How could I have been so stupid! I've got to get to Kagome." Memories of the day that his comrades were slaughtered came back.The pain, anger and disbelief of seeing his family lying there in pieces were overwhelming. "I can't lose anyone else." Kouga scolded himself aloud, not hearing Shesshomaru landing softly behind him.
"Why do you not run if you know that I intend to kill you?"
"What have you done to Kagome?" Kouga demanded, still not turning around.
"She and that pitiful mut are dead."
"You killed Satsuki..." his fangs were bared and his eyes burned with fury.
"Yes."
"Why? She was just a pup! She didn't do anything to you to deserve to die!"
"But that is where you are wrong. That mongrel was the child of a human and a hanyou, a half human. It disgraced the demon race. That thing did not deserve to live. But moreover, Satsuki, as you so affectionately called her, was the child of my half-brother, Inuyasha, who I dispised more than Naraku himself."
"So you murdered her?!" Kouga's anger burned like wildfire inside.
"And that wench mate of Inuyasha's."
"Yoooouuuu...." Kouga stopped thinking. "You'll pay for that!" he jumped up, turning himself around. Kouga landed a few yards away from Shesshomaru with his claws, fangs bared and his eyes stone hard. His blood was rushing through his body. He took a swipe at Shesshomaru but he dodged. "Huh? Where did he go?"
Kouga's opponent was invisable to the eye. The wolf lept high into the air as Shesshomaru lashed out in the place where he once stood.
"Maybe if you showered more often I wouldn't of been able to smell you so easily. You're hard to miss." Shesshomaru smirked at Kouga's remark.
"You think that was a acciendent you fool. How much fun would it be if I had just killed you on the spot. Without even giving you a far chance. Take your best shot." Shesshomaru's eyes were cold and empty. They sent chills down Kouga's spin.
"You asked for it."
His anger had overcame him completely. There was no real sense of reality. Kouga once agian charged blindly at Shesshomaru. He was much more violent with his attacks, kicking and punching. Kouga curled up his fist and landed a hard punch upon Shesshomaru. Shesshomaru touched the tip of his lip and looked at his hand. Blood. That flea-bitten wolf had made him bleed.
"That's enough." Shesshomaru said smoothly, standing still with his eyes colder than before. Kouga hurled himself into the air and towards him.
Kouga threw his fist towards Shesshomaru just as he disappeared. Kouga eyes widened and searched for a sign. Shesshomaru appeared once again behind Kouga. Emotion and expressionless, Shesshomaru took his able arm, thrust it simply into Kouga's heart and back out. Kouga managed a struggled gasp and looked down. He touched his wound, not wanting to believe it. His eyes were still wide. Kouga growled on the inside as his body crumbled to the ground. Kouga's mouth lay open and his eyes were wide and out of focus.
"Damn you Shesshomaru. You'll get yours."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sky was painted with oranges, reds and pinks. The evening was warm, birds soared in the sky and the small forest creatures went about their daily rutines (A/n: small forest creatures? i must be bored). A gentle breeze blew by. The scenery could only be discribed as non-earthly, magical and peaceful. Like something out of a book or someone's imagination.On a hill stood a girl. The hill was steep with high grass, gorgeous flowers and the edge of a forest was behind it. Another figure walked up behind the girl.
"What did I ever do to deserve this? Its so unbelieveable. There is no reason to be afraid. I have the perfect family, the perfect life. Especially with Inuyasha here. These flowers are beautiful. Mom would be like a kid in a candy store here. I wonder what they're up too. Oh well. I have Satsuki and Inuyasha. This place-"
"You ready?" Kagome's thoughts were interupted. She turned her head around and smiled. There was no reason for her to be startled. There was no danger here, no pain, no sorrow, no nothing. Just peace. Kagome loved it.
"Yeah," She looked back towards the scenery that she had been staring at. "Let's go." A small giggle emitted from Kagome's arms. The two looked down and laughed.
"You got something to say runt?" Inuyasha teased. Satsuki laughed as Kagome handed her to Inuyasha. "Let's go." Kagome nodded in responce. Inuyasha gave Kagome their daughter and wrapped his arm around Kagome's waist, pulling her closer to him.
The sun was almost gone and the sky was painted in darker reds and the pink had changed to a dark purple. As the sun fell behind the horizon, so did the family. They walked into the sunset and vanished, just like a movie. Gone without a trace. When the sun had set, a warm and comforting breeze swirled. The breeze carried nothing but a few leaves and Satsuki's faded, ghostly laughter. The stars smiled down, locking away their secret of a love between a hanyou and human girl from another era. No one will ever have to know what took place here and no one ever will.
