Chapter 12- Dealings with Death
Inuyasha blushed as Kagome fell asleep on his lap. He gently moved her head and got up and looked at this barrier she had summoned. Each element was a different color, as they fused together they formed a prism. 'This is weird,I hope it lasts till morning, then I'll teach Sesshomaru a lesson about kicking people when they are down.'
Sesshomaru was stunned at the power that girl had summoned. He growled lunging at the barrier. He stopped right in front of it, smelling the air to see what it consisted of. ' I will have to be very meticulous around this barrier. It seems that girl is not so incompetent as I thought. He laughed mordantly " This barrier will not hold for long. I will kill you before day break, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha couldn't see Sesshomaru through the barrier, but he could hear him. He pounded his fist into the ground. " Why do I have to have this weakness? If only that friggin sun would rise. I hate the new moon." He started whispering under his breath, it was muffled so you couldn't make out what he was saying. He could sense Sesshomaru trying something outside the barrier. The barrier glowed a neon green. " What the hell?" Inuyasha growled.
Sesshomaru was tired of waiting around thinking of something. He removed his weapon, Toukijin, and slashed the whip through the still air and struck the shield. It glowed a neon green, the color of his whip. He smiled to himself. 'The girl was weak, so is this shield. I should be able to remove it in no time.' He repeated this continuously. Each strike he could feel the power weakening. " Inuyasha I know you can hear me, each strike it hurts your wench. Her power is connected with it's power. I suggest you face me, or I will continue my assault until the barrier is broken."
Inuyasha growled as he looked down at Kagome. 'Could he be telling the truth,or was it just that wound she took for me, that caused this? I am completely defenseless against Sesshomaru if I leave, but I don't want Kagome to get hurt. She has suffered enough. I'll make him pay for what he has done.' " Hey, Sesshomaru why don't we wait till the sun comes up?" Inuyasha brawled.
Kagome stirred in her sleep. Something was calling her, she didn't want to leave it was so peaceful here. " Kagome, wake up dear." She felt something brush her cheek,then her eyelids. Kagome opened her eyes slowly and saw a figure standing over her rubbing her cheek. She gasped and fell backwards recognizing the person in front of her. " Kikyo....what......how......why?" The woman smiled at her.
" Kagome, please do not be afraid I asked your mother if I could come and help. I wanted to apologize to you for everything that I did. You intrusted me with the jewel, and I betrayed you." She knelt down on one knee, her head bent. " I was deceived by Naraku, and betrayed you. We were once friends, you tried to warn me, yet I betrayed you, please forgive. I wish only to help you and Inuyasha."
Kagome looked at her. She noticed that her facial expression had changed,everything about her had changed. Her face was no longer hard, and devoid of any emtion, and her eyes they no longer bore the hatered that they once had. She only had love radiating off her. Kagome smiled knowing Kikyo was once again that peaceful priestess she had once known.
"Kikyo, I forgive you. What happend to Naraku? Did you not love Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
" Yes, m'lady, I thought I loved Inuyasha,but I mistook our friendship for something else. Naraku I did have true feelings for, he was beyond our Lady's help. He still desired you and the jewel. Please let us forget him. I know nothing can amount to what I did to you and Inuyasha, I come sending you word that Sesshomaru is going to break your barrier before the sun rises, and Inuyasha will try and leave the barrier because he senses you are in danger.
Sesshomaru told him that everytime he hit the barrier, that it was a blow to you.You need to be revived from the amount of blood you lost." Kikyo removed a pouch similar to Earth's and poured the silver liquid into Kagome' mouth.
Kagome felt the essence of Earth's power flow through every vein. Kikyo turned her head as if she was listening to something. " Oh no, Kagome he is saying his goodbyes and this potion will take a few minutes to revive you so you may wake up."
Inuyasha knelt down by Kagome's sleeping form. He saw her stir from her sleep.Inuyasha's black hair hung down in his face concealing his face. A single tear hit Kagome's cheek. "Kagome,I am......sorry.........I just wanted to tell you that I......I......." He couldn't bring himself to say it. It was totally unfair to her, he got to say his good bye, and die, while she was left here. "Oh,Kagome." He lifted Kagome's chin and kissed her gently. "Bye,Kagome." Inuyasha whispered as he rose and walked towards the barrier, glancing at her on last time. He grabbed Tetsugia, he unsheathed the blade, even though he couldn't transform it, he could still use it as a shield. He broke through the barrier as Sesshomaru stood there, with an evil smrik on his face.
" Well, my deranged halfling brother, I see you chose that wench again. I will probably kill her anyway, for being so burdensome. Sesshomaru,for the first time was the one to start the battle. " You should just surrend the sword and die an honorable death."
Inuyasha raised Tetsugia in front of him. " Not in my lifetime,pal." Inuyasha had determination in his dark eyes. Sesshomaru attacked him with his poisonous claw.Inuyasha used Tetsugia to protect himself, as he countered Sesshomaru's attack.
"Even as a human, you will never admit defeat.You know you cannot survive the gas from my claw." Sesshomaru stated.
Inuyasha grinned at him. " You don't get it yet,do you? I will never let you have Tetsugia, and you had to fight me human,because you couldn't defeat me. Me,the worthless half demon defeating you, The great Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands." Inuyasha started laughing hysterically.
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed as his anger began to rise, he punched through Inuyasha's stomach.
Inuyasha gasped as he felt Sesshomaru's fist go straight through him. He fell to one knee, his head lowered, and his other hand grasping Tetsugia. " Kagome." He yelled and then he fell down onto the earth. He still grasped Tetsugia.
Sesshomaru walked over to Inyasha and was about to remove the sword,but his sword, Tenseiga, also known as the Healing Fang began to throb. He looked at Tetsugia it was also throbbing. The swords slowly began to hum.
Kagome looked at Kikyo. "God's speed,Kagome, Guardian of the Earth,and Inuyasha's heart. Be swift, we will meet again." Kikyo waved at Kagome as she slowly started getting farther and farther. "Hold on, Inuyasha, I'll be there in a minute. She felt herself slip back into the world of the living.Kagome started to wake up, she opened her eyes slowly. She looked up and saw that the barrier had been broken. She felt her cheek,and it was wet. She knew Inuyasha had been calling her. She got up slowly, and surveyed the area. She saw Sesshomaru punch through Inuyasha's stomach, then Inuyasha called her name and fell to the ground. " INUYASHA." Kagome screamed as she ran over to him.
