Inuyasha's Loss
Hi...here's the chapter fifteen. This is the chapter where Naraku controls KiLaLa and makes her try and kill Inuyasha. I need some more help on finding japanese names for girls or boys, can anyone help?
15. Don't Leave me...
Last chapter, where it ended...
KiLaLa continued walking in the forest, following Inuyasha's scent. She finally caught up with him and ducked behind some bushes. She aimed her arrow right at his heart. 'That should take care of him,' Naraku thought. KiLaLa released the arrow.
Inuyasha felt something coming towards him so he jumped into the air, dodging whatever was shot at him. The arrow hit the tree in front on him and he noticed it was KiLaLa's arrow.
He landed safely on the ground and looked at bushes, she was behind. "Your arrows are not toys, KiLaLa. I know you're there," he said and she came out. Inuyasha saw her lifeless eyes as she aimed another arrow at him. She smiled as she released it.
Inuyasha dodged it and landed back on the ground. KiLaLa had two arrows aimed at him. She released them and he dodged them. She reached in her case to grab another, but there were none left. Inuyasha smiled. "You may look like my daughter, but you missed on detail. Your eyes aren't like hers at all so I won't feel guilty fighting back."
Inuyasha ran towards her and raised his claws. "Iron Reaver, Soul Stealer!" 'Yes, this is too perfect. He doesn't know that she is under a curse and that she's the one that feels the pain from his attacks. Perfect!' Naraku thought.
KiLaLa fell to her knees as her own blood filled her sight. She closed her eyes and some silent tears fell. "Yes, you feel the pain don't you. Does it hurt?" Inuyasha asked.
"Get up and kill him," the voice said and she got up slowly. "Oh, so you didn't have enough," Inuyasha said and raised his claws again. "Iron Reaver, Soul Stealer!" KiLaLa fell to her knees again. More silent tears fell from her eyes.
"One more attack will finish you off. Any last words?" he asked. She didn't answer. "Iron Reaver-" he started to yell. "Daddy, stop. Please." 'What? I thought I had full control over her,' Naraku thought. "KiLaLa?" Inuyasha asked and went to her side. "It's a curse. Naraku is controlling me. Run away," she managed to say before her eyes turned to pure gold again.
KiLaLa got up and looked at him with pure hatred. "I don't understand," Inuyasha said, but KiLaLa smiled devilishly. Inuyasha knew she was under the curse again.
He looked at her and noticed the black shikon no tama. 'That must be the source of it,' he thought. Inuyasha quickly ran to her and took the shikon jewel from her neck. KiLaLa's eyes went wide and she squated to the ground. Inuyasha noticed the wind changing directions.
He smelled the air and looked at KiLaLa. "I smell a full demon, but it can't be," he said. KiLaLa's hair covered her face. "What's wrong, Naraku? Are you loosing your touch?" he asked, hoping that it was over, but KiLaLa's hair uncovered her face and Inuyasha saw her red eyes and sharper claws and fangs. "No, it can't be. She's a full demon."
With Phoenix and Kanaye
"We have to warn my dad. Only if we knew where he was," Phoenix said and pulled Kanaye into the woods. "What if it's too late?" he asked. "Don't say that! Try to think of where he said he was going," she said. "I think he said he was going to the stream to get more water."
"That's it! Come on!" They followed the path to the stream.
With KiLaLa and Inuyasha
KiLaLa no longer felt the pain in her body. She no longer feared her father nor death. "I think I will leave you for now, Inuyasha,' Naraku thought and broke his curse for now. KiLaLa's demon blood still had hold on her and she sprinted towards Inuyasha.
Inuyasha saw her coming and he jumped out of the way so she had just tore his kimono. Phoenix and Kanaye came running into the battle scene. KiLaLa caught sight of them and ran to attack them. "No!" Inuyasha yelled and punched her with great force to stop her.
"Get as far away from here! Something's wrong with her and I don't have time to explain!" Inuyasha yelled and waited for KiLaLa to get up. "We know, she is under Naraku's curse," Phoenix yelled at him. "I know, so get away from here!" KiLaLa had started to ran at them again. Inuyasha stood in front of them and punched her again.
KiLaLa went flying throw the air and she hit a tree that stopped her. Phoenix and Kanaye turned around and started running to the hut. Inuyasha looked at the shikon jewel in his hand. It was it's regular color. 'The curse is gone. Now it's her demon blood that is controlling her,' he thought.
KiLaLa stood up slowly and looked at Inuyasha. She ran at him, slower than usual, and tried to punch him, but Inuyasha grabbed her fist. He opened it and quickly placed the shikon jewel in her hand. Her eyes widened again and she fell to the ground.
Her fangs and claws dulled to their usual size. Inuyasha picked her up and made sure she was still breathing. Her breathing became faster and shorter, but at least she was breathing. "It's going to be okay," he said and felt guilty for causing her the pain she was suffering. He was the one who put the deep cuts all over her upper body. He started walking back to the hut and it started raining.
When he finally got to the hut, Phoenix and Kanaye were waiting. "Is she okay, dad?" Phoenix asked. "No...Has Miroku came back with those herbs?" Inuyasha asked. Kanaye shook his head. Inuyahsa walked inside the hut and saw Sango lying on a blanket.
"Phoenix, what happened to Sango?" he asked. "I don't know. We found her like this when we came back to hut," she said. "Can you put down some blankets for KiLaLa real quick?"
"Yeah," Phoenix said and laid some blankets down to make a bed. Inuyasha put KiLaLa down. He grabbed the bucket of water and rag and started cleaning her cuts. "Why don't ya'll go to sleep for tonight. I'm sure you're worn out from today." Phoenix and Kanaye nodded and made beds for themsevles. They laid down and fell asleep.
Miroku walked in and shook his clothes to get most of the water off. "Inuyasha, I got some herbs," he said and walked up to him. He saw KiLaLa's cut up and bruised body. "What happened?" he asked. "Naraku put a curse on her and controlled her. He was making her try to kill me. Then, she turned full demon and tried to kill me."
"What about Phoenix and Kanaye?" Miroku asked. "They're sleeping in the corner. They didn't get hurt. Only scared when they saw KiLaLa try to attack them when she was full demon, but it wasn't her fault. It's my stupid demon blood that controls her."
Miroku felt bad for Inuyasha. He started making some herbal tea to help. Inuyasha had gotten most of the dirt and dry blood off of her cuts, but she would just bleed more. 'She's loosing too much blood.' "Miroku, help me put some bandages on her." Miroku and Inuyasha slowly sat her up. KiLaLa stuggled to breath more and Inuyasha wrapped the bandages around her upper body.
"Keep her sitting up so she can drink some herbal tea," Miroku said and poured some down her throat. They laid her back down and Inuyasha started cleaning off the dirt and blood on her face.
"Inuyasha, you need to bring her to the Lady Kaede. You don't even know what's broken or not and she can give you some medicane." He nodded. "I guess I'll bring her tomorrow." Sango woke up and sat up. "Inuyasha, KiLaLa's being controlled."
She looked at KiLaLa lying on the blankets. "Oh, I guess that was too late," she said and rubbed her side. "What happened to you Sango?" Miroku asked. "Well, when KiLaLa woke up, I recognized her eyes because they were like my brother's when he was controlled. So I tried to stop her from leaving, but she swung her arm back and hit me off guard."
"Let me check your side," Miroku said. "No, don't worry about me. It's just a bruise." She crawled over to KiLaLa. "Inuyasha, you need to change her bandages again. She's bleeding through them." Miroku helped him sit her up. Inuyasha tore off the bandages.
Sango saw her cuts and knew Inuyasha had fought her. 'I guess he had no choice,' she thought and helped him put on the bandages. "I'm taking her to Lady Kaede tomorrow if it's not raining so can you watch Phoenix for me?" Inuyasha asked. "Yeah," she answered and laid KiLaLa back down.
Everyone calmed down and fell asleep, but Inuyasha stayed up. "I'm sorry. I didn't think this would happen. I feel so guilty for causing you all this pain. I'm so sorry," he said and cried himself to sleep.
"Inuyasha, wake up!" Miroku yelled at him. Inuyasha's eyes opened and he looked around. "What's wrong?" he asked. "You said you were going to bring KiLaLa to Lady Kaede today." Inuyasha looked at her. She still hadn't awaken from the battle. "Could you show me where she is in the village? I haven't been there in a while."
"Sure," he said. "Is she free now?" Inuyasha asked. "Yeah, we can go right now if you want." Inuyasha nodded. He went to KiLaLa and watched her. She was still breathing like she was yesterday. He bent down and picked her up, trying not to hurt her.
"Sango is watching the kids so we can leave," Miroku said and they started walking to the village. "Inuyasha, Lady Kaede does know about KiLaLa. We've been visiting her everytime we go to the village so you don't have to explain everything," he said and after a while they reached the village. The people saw Inuyasha and started whispering to each other.
"It's a demon. He is not wanted here," some women said to each other. The men of the village stepped in front of Miroku and Inuyasha. "You are not wanted here, demon. You must leave at once!" they yelled at him. "We are not here to harm you," Miroku tried to persuade them.
"He is not wanted!" The men pointed spears at Inuyasha while ignoring KiLaLa in his arms. "There is a child in his arms!" a woman yelled from the crowd. "Trying to harm our village children, aren't you?" the men said. "This is my daughter of you have to know and I'm trying to get her to Kaede!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Now what is all the noise out here?" a familar voice asked behind the crowd. "Lady Kaede, a demon has come to our village." "Let me see this demon you are speaking of."
The men stepped aside and Kaede came walking up to Inuyasha. "Well, Inuyasha. It had been a long time since I have seen you and who is this? This must be your daughter Miroku has been telling me about. Oh, but she's hurt. Come to my hut and I'll have a look at her."
"Go on to your business! They mean us no harm!" Kaede yelled to the crowd and they slowly walked away. "Come," she said and led them to her hut. She laid some blankets for KiLaLa and Inuyasha put her down. "What happened to the poor child?" she asked as she examined her. Inuyasha looked down. "Naraku put a curse on her and forced her to try and kill me."
"He's still up to no good, is he? Has she waken up since the happening?" she asked. Inuyasha shook his head. "Well, you need to let her rest. Don't move around a lot. She has a shattered left arm and right leg. Also a few broken ribs. Give her this tea in the morning and at night to help her breath easier."
She gave him a bag of powder. "You let some water boil and mix a pinch of this in it." Inuyasha nodded. "Visit me in three days so I can check if she's doing better. It was nice seeing you, Inuyasha." He picked up KiLaLa. "I'll see you in three days." Miroku and Inuyasha left her hut and the village whispered the whole way out of the village.
When they got to their hut, Kanaye and Phoenix were waiting. "Is she okay?" Kanaye asked. "She just needs some rest so you don't have to worry," Inuyasha said and went inside.
He laid KiLaLa down on the blankets and started making the tea Kaede had given him. Night came and he sat her up. He poured it down her throat and she started coughing. Inuyasha covered her mouth with a rag and she stopped. He threw it aside, but noticed something on it. He picked it up and saw that she was coughing up blood.
"I'm so sorry," he whispered and stroked his hand through her hair. Kanaye and Phoenix came inside and went to sleep in the corner. Miroku and Sango came in and watched Inuyasha.
"How is she?" Sango asked and bent down beside him. "Sango, she's coughing up blood. I gave her the tea Kaede gave me, but it's not working." Sango gave him and small smile. "Maybe it just takes time. Don't stay up too late."
They laid down in the other corner and fell asleep. Inuyasha laid down beside KiLaLa. "I hope you wake up soon," he said and went to sleep.
The next morning, he woke up before everyone else. He quickly made the tea and gave it to KiLaLa. She winced a bit when he sat her up, but she stayed asleep. He changed her bandages and laid her back down. "Wake up soon." He kissed her forehead and went outside.
Inuyasha looked to the sky. "Help me, Kagome." The wind blew hard and leaves flew into the air. When Inuyasha looked up, Kagome was standing in front of him. "Why do you call for me?" she asked. "I can't take it. I can't take the guilt. I'm the one that did this to her. I'm the one that hurt her. She can barely breath and it's my fault." He fell to his knees, crying.
Kagome looked at him. "Inuyasha, you know that's not true." He wiped his eyes. "You live in the spirit world. Is she going to be with you soon? Is she going to leave me?"
"No...she is not going to leave you," she said. "Then, tell me when she is going to wake up. Tell me when I will get to see her play again." Kagome turned away from him. "Soon, Inuyasha and that's all I can tell you for now. Goodbye." She disappeared.
"Soon. Okay," he said and got off the ground. He dried his face and went inside. Sango was awake and making breakfast. "Good morning, Inuyasha. Where did you go off to?" she asked. I went for a walk, that's all." He sat by KiLaLa and watched her. Nothing had really changed about her at all. Her breathing was the same and she wasn't looking better.
Inuyasha put her hand in his. She was freezing. He covered her up with a blanket and made sure it didn't bother her. "Inuyasha, you should go back to sleep. You look pale. You can have some of my soup and take a nap," Sango said and handed him a bowl of soup.
He drank it and fell asleep as soon as he laid down. "Inuyasha..." He opened his eyes and looked around. It was night time in the hut. "Inuyasha, KiLaLa has woken up." He rushed over to her side. "KiLaLa, how are you feeling?" he asked. "Daddy, I'm sorry." Tears fell from her eyes. Kagome appeared at the front door. "It is time."
KiLaLa got up and grabbed her hand. "Goodbye, daddy. I'll miss you," she said and faded away with Kagome. "No, don't leave me. You said she wasn't going to leave me!"
Inuyasha sat up. He was sweating from head to toe. Sango looked at him. "Inuyasha, you were talking in your sleep. What's wrong?" she asked. The hut was empty accept for Sango and KiLaLa. "Nothing, it was just a nightmare."
"You think we should bring her to the hot springs. She could use a bath and it might warm her up a bit." Inuyasha nodded. "Yeah, even though she hates baths, we might as well clean her up some. I'll bring her to the springs and leave her with you. I won't be far away though."
"Okay, we can leave right now. Miroku's playing with the kids outside so I'm ready to go." Sango got some towels and a change of clothes for both of them and Inuyasha picked KiLaLa up.
"Try not to move her a lot. Kaede told me we shouldn't do that." Sango nodded and led him to the springs. "You can set her in. I'll get undressed behind the bushes and tell you when it's okay to look." Inuyasha placed KiLaLa in the water and and closed his eyes. He heard footsteps and then a splash. "Okay, I can take care of her from here."
Inuyasha turned the other way and opened his eyes. "I won't be far and don't take too long," he said and walked into the forest. 'Hopefully, this will help,' he thought.
Sango undressed KiLaLa in the water and threw her wet torn clothes on the grass. She cupped her hands and dipped them into ther water. "We have to get all this dirt out of your hair," she said and dumped the water on top of her hair. She repeated this until her hair was pure white again.
"I think you've soaked enough so let's get out," she said and stepped out of the water. She quickly got dressed and pulled KiLaLa out of the water. She dried her off and dressed her in a warm kimono. "Inuyasha, we're all done," Sango called out. There was no answer. "Inuyasha!" she yelled. "Huh?" he said from a near by tree. "We're done."
"Oh," he said and jumped down. "You weren't watching us, were you?" Sango asked and crossed her arms. "No, I was sleeping." He stretched and yawned.
"Well, she's all clean. I got all the dirt out of her hair at least." Inuyasha smiled. "At least now I won't have to throw her in the springs for her to take a bath." He sighed and remembered the first time she took a bath here. She had heard that word and hiden in the woods. Later that night, when she was asleep, he had jumped in the springs with her in his arms.
Inuyasha missed seeing KiLaLa smiling. He shook off his sorrow and picked her up. They walked back to the hut to find Miroku and the kids asleep in the corner. "They must have worn him out," Sango said and laughed. Inuyasha put KiLaLa down and started making the tea.
"What did Kaede tell you?" Sango asked. "She told me that she had a shattered left arm and right leg. Also a few broken ribs. That she needs plenty of rest and to give her this tea to help her breath. I have to give it to her everyday and night. So far, it hasn't helped at all. I'm suppose to bring her back not tomorrow, but the next day. I'm hoping she'll wake up by then." Sango smiled a little.
"Don't worry, Inuyasha. I'm sure she'll wake up and the first person she want to see is you." Inuyasha was happy to hear her say that, but he couldn't help feel bad still. "Thanks Sango." "Sleep good tonight, okay?" she said and laid down in the corner with Miroku.
Inuyasha gave KiLaLa the tea and fell asleep beside her.
"Wake up, sleepy head," Phoenix whispered in Inuyasha's ear. He opened his eyes and smiled. She laughed and pulled his arm. "Come and play with us!"
"I'm too old for you," he said and sat up. "So was Miroku, but he played with us. Come on, please!" she begged. "Okay, just let me get some breakfast first." Phoenix nodded. "We'll be outside when you're done and don't try to sneak off."
Inuyasha really wasn't hungry. He had to give KiLaLa her tea. When he was done making it, he gave it to her and once again, it didn't help at all. He went outside and looked around. No one was there. He shrugged and started walking back inside when he got tackled from behind. "Your not going anywhere now," Phoenix said and laughed.
"Let's play hide and seek, your it. Count to fifty," Kanaye said and they ran into the forest. Inuyasha sighed. 'Why me?' he thought. "One...two..." Later, "Fourty-nine...fifty"
He smelled the air and caught their scents. Phoenix was the closest so he went after her first. He found her hiding in a bush and he found Kanaye in a tree. They played games all day until dark. "Come on, it's time to go inside."
They followed him inside and found their food waiting for them. Inuyasha, Phoenix, and Kanaye drank their soups and went to sleep. Sango watched them and laughed. "How do those kids do it?" she asked. "A lot of games and running," Miroku said and laid down. Sango watched Inuyasha sleep. 'He looks so peaceful,' she thought and fell asleep beside Miroku.
"Dad, wake up! There's something wrong with KiLaLa!" Inuyasha sat up right away and crawled to her. She was yelling really loud. He could see her struggling to inhale. 'I forgot to give her the tea,' he thought. Everyone was awake. Phoenix was crying in Sango's lap and Kanaye's face was full of fear. "Miroku! Boil some water, quickly!" Inuyasha yelled.
Miroku started boiling water and Inuyasha tried to calm KiLaLa down. She was shaking uncontrolably and gasping for air. Miroku was done boiling the water so Inuyasha added a pinch of the powder. "Sit her up for me."
Miroku sat her up and Inuyasha poured the tea into her mouth. She calmed down a bit and started breathing like she did before. It was fast and short, but at least she wasn't suficating anymore. "It's okay, she's fine," he said and laid back, trying to catch his breathe. His heart was pounding from the fear of loosing his daughter.
It was early morning so everyone began their day. Phoenix and Kanaye started playing with Miroku outside and Sango sat with Inuyasha inside. "You need to relax, Inuyasha. She's not going to leave you." Sango was trying to calm him down.
"I had this nightmare yesterday. KiLaLa had woken up and the first thing she said was sorry. Then, Kagome's spirit was at the front door. She said it was time. KiLaLa got up and grabbed her hand. She said goodbye and left me. I don't want her to leave me. She's only four years old and she's going through so much pain," he said and cried.
Sango rubbed his back to calm him. "You just need to relax. Go for a walk. Take a nap. Do something to take your mind off things for a while. When KiLaLa wakes up and sees you like this, she's the one who is going to feel bad for causing you the pain you're suffering right now."
"I'm going to go for a walk, then I'll come back and take a nap." Inuyasha wiped his face and went outside. He looked at the path that led to the hut. He saw KiLaLa running to him, like she had when she came with his brother. He walked to the stream and looked at the bank.
He saw KiLaLa scrubbing the pot, like she had when he first met her. He turned around and walked to the apple tree. He saw KiLaLa shooting an arrow right through the apple. 'Everywhere I go, I think of her,' he thought and kept walking. He came to the clearing, where he had battled her. The tree that he had punched her into had cracked in half.
There where still blood stanes on the grass where he had attacked her. He turned around and walked back to the hut. The walk had just made him think about her more and feel worse.
He went inside the hut to find Sango changing her bandages. Her cuts were still bad. It seemed like she hadn't healed at all. He laid down in the corner and fell asleep, hoping that he would feel better afterwards.
"Inuyasha, do you want some dinner?" Sango asked and gently shook him. "Yeah, that would be great," he said and sat up. 'I need to stop sleeping on the floor,' he thought.
Sango handed him a bowl of soup. Inuyasha looked outside. It was already dark and everyone had eaten accept him. He watched KiLaLa sleep and thought about his walk earlier. He had so many memories. It was like when Kagome died. All he could see was his memories of her.
"You don't have to worry about giving her the tea. I gave it to her when it started getting dark," Sango said and emptied the pot of soup outside. "Remember to bring her to Kaede tomorrow. I'll try to wake you up early," she said and laid down by Miroku and the kids, who were already sleeping. Inuyasha wasn't really hungry so he crawled over to KiLaLa.
"Don't want you to starve," he said and poured the soup into her mouth. He put the bowl aside and laid down. 'I'll start sleeping sitting up tomorrow,' he thought and went to sleep.
"Inuyasha, you need to bring KiLaLa to Lady Kaede," Sango said. Inuyasha opened his eyes and stood up. "Do you want me to come with you?" she asked. "No thanks. I know where she lives now," he said and picked KiLaLa up. "I'll watch Phoenix for you."
"Thanks," he said and went outside. He followed the path to the village and when he got there, the village became talkative again. They whispered to each other as he passed. He finally reached Kaede's hut and went inside. "Inuyasha, how has she been?" Kaede asked and laid out a blanket for her. Inuyasha put her down and sat.
"She still hasn't awaken and she couldn't breath yesterday morning when I forgot to give her that tea you gave me. I guess it really did help. She coughed up blood and when I saw Sango changing her bandages, it looked like she hadn't healed at all." Kaede nodded.
"Why don't you stay for the night so I can watch her and maybe you can sleep good tonight." Inuyasha sighed. "Like that'll ever happen. The village wants me out. You hear their whispers."
"I know, but you'll be safe in here." Inuyasha nodded. "I didn't give her the tea yet so I'll need to do that," he said and took the powder out his kimono. "Don't worry, I already have some made," she said and took out a bottle. She lifted KiLaLa's head and poured some in her mouth.
"I need to go tell Sango to watch Phoenix for the night so can you watch her while I'm gone?" he asked. "Go on. Now, Phoenix is the wolf demon you're caring for, right?" she asked. Inuyasha nodded and left the hut. He walked through all the whispering and ran to the hut once he reached the path. Sango was surprised to see him. Her and Phoenix were the only ones up.
"I'm staying at Kaede's hut tonight. She wants to watch KiLaLa. Could you watch Phoenix?" he asked. "Dad, can't I come with you? I've never seen the village and I'll be really good," she begged. "No...the village is already mad that two half-demons are staying there."
"But I look as human as possible. Please, dad!" Inuyasha sighed. "Okay, but you better be good," he said and picked her up. Phoenix was really light since she was only three years old.
He ran back to the village and walked past all the whispering...again. He went into Kaede's hut and she was making soup. "You must be Phoenix. It's nice to finally meet you," Kaede said and held out her hand. Phoenix smiled and shook it.
"Would you like something to eat?" she asked and Phoenix nodded. She gave her a bowl and made one for Inuyasha. "Would you like some?" she asked. "No thanks. You can give it to KiLaLa. I don't want her to starve." Kaede nodded and gave some to her. Inuyasha would keep watch on the door at all times. Just in case...
Night came, and the sound of marching filled the air. "What's that sound?" Kaede asked. Suddenly, the hut caught on fire. "Get outside now!"
Kaede pulled Phoenix outside. Inuyasha quickly grabbed KiLaLa and brought her outside. "Inuyasha! Watch out!" Spears came flying towards him and he jumped out of the way. "We told you that you weren't wanted here so we're going to force you out!"
The village men were in a circle around them. They were holding torches and spears. "Leave, we don't want you here." Inuyasha put KiLaLa down. "I'm just trying to get my daughter back." The men didn't listen. They started to close in around them. Then out of nowhere, a wolf jumped in front of Inuyasha and KiLaLa. It growled and barked, driving the men back.
Inuyasha knew it was Phoenix. "The other girl was a demon, too. I saw her transform into that wolf!" Phoenix growled louder and showed her teeth. "Kaede, we trusted you! We told you we didn't want any demons in our village and then you bring two of them here!"
"I'm trying to get my daughter well that is all," Inuyasha tried to explain. "Just leave and we won't have to hurt you," they yelled.
Inuyasha shook his head. "I came here for help and I'm not leaving until I get it." A man stepped forward. "Then you give us no choice but to attack!" The men started throwing spears at Inuyasha and Phoenix. They dodged most of them. Phoenix dodged one, but it scratched her paw. Inuyasha dodged most of them, but one got him in his shoulder.
The men ran out of spears and started to attack with their bare hands. Inuyasha and Phoenix tried not to hurt them, but they were coming in every direction. Some women pulled Lady Kaede aside and they started attacking. "Wait!" a woman yelled out.
Everyone stopped and looked at her. "There's a little girl and she look like she's in pretty bad shape." The woman kneeled down next to KiLaLa and touched her face. "She's so cold."
"You get away from her!" Inuyasha yelled and ran to KiLaLa. "Don't you ever touch my daughter!" The woman backed away. "I'm sorry. I didn't know she was your daughter. She was wearing the shikon jewel and I thought she was..."
"What! A demon is wearing the sacred jewel! That belongs to Lady Kagome!" a man yelled and stepped forward. "But-" Inuyasha started. "He stole it! Kill them both!"
"Phoenix run! I'll be right behind you!" She barked and ran through the crowd. Growling her way out. Inuyasha quickly picked up KiLaLa and jumped above the crowd. "Get him!" someone yelled and shot an arrow at him. Inuyasha couldn't dodge it so it hit him in his back.
He yelled out in pain, but kept going. He reached the forest and landed on the ground. The villagers didn't go after him. He slowly walked to the hut since it hurt to move his back. "Inuyasha!" he heard someone yell. He was so dizzy that he didn't know which way it came from. He tripped and fell on the ground. 'KiLaLa,' he thought and looked at her on the ground.
She was lying on the ground next to him and her eyes were half-way open. "Daddy," she whispered and grabbed his hand. "Don't worry about me. It's just a dream. Close your eyes and go to sleep," he whispered back. She closed her eyes and hummed a song.
They both fell asleep on the ground. "Inuyasha!" Sango yelled. "Phoenix, you said he was right behind you, right?" Miroku asked. She nodded. "He said he would be right behind me."
"We should go after them. They stole the shikon jewel. We should get them while they're weak!" a man yelled. "Yes! Let's go!" the crowd yelled and ran into the forest. They searched until they saw Inuyasha lying on the ground.
"Here he is!" a man yelled. "His daughter is here, too! She must have been the one who stole it since she is wearing it. Bring her back to the village and we will burn her along with the rest of Kaede's hut." A man stepped forward and grabbed KiLaLa by her neck. She woke and looked around. 'Why are these people here? What do they want with us?' she thought.
She looked over to Inuyasha and saw the arrow in his back. Tears came from her eyes. "Daddy," she called to him, but he didn't answer. "Shutup, you wench!" a man yelled and kicked her in her stomach. She screamed in pain and cried more.
"Miroku, did you hear that? It sounded like KiLaLa. It was in this direction," Sango said and ran towards the light with Miroku behind her. "Stay here, Phoenix. It might be the villagers. Kanaye, bring her back to the hut," Miroku called back. They reached the villagers and pushed through them. "Leave her alone!" Sango yelled.
Some men grabbed Sango and Miroku. "So ya'll are with these demons. Well, you came just in time to see them killed. Cover their mouths with cloth. I don't want to hear them."
KiLaLa looked at them. "Miroku, she's awake," Sango whispered. "Keep your mouths shut!" The men tied cloths around their mouths so they couldn't talk. "Leave the older demon. He is suffering right now. He will die soon. Come on, let's go!"
The men dragged KiLaLa by the neck, making it harder for her to breath. Sango and Miroku could just watch as they tortchered her. They came to Kaede's hut and part of it hadn't been burned yet. "Tie her up in the middle of the hut. Let her burn with it." The men tied her up. "So how do you feel, knowing you're about to die?"
"I do not fear death. I just want to be with my daddy," KiLaLa managed to say. They had tied her neck to the pole and her arms were tied behind her. Her comment got the man angry.
"Well, do you fear pain?" he asked and punched her. KiLaLa yelled in pain and cried. "Stop crying and I'll stop!" She didn't stop. He punched her more and more until the front of her body was full of bruises. She struggled to breath. "Let's just kill her and be done with it."
The men lit the fire and smoke rose above them. KiLaLa tried to breath in all the smoke, but it was too thick. Sango and Miroku struggled to get out of the men's grip, but it didn't seem to be working. 'I guess I'll be with you soon, mama," KiLaLa said and watched the men looked at her with hatred. 'If only they would have listened,' she thought and closed her eyes.
"Dad!" Phoenix yelled and shook him. "What? Where's KiLaLa?" he asked when he saw her gone. "The villagers took her and my parents. They plan to kill her," Kanaye said and looked towards the village. "Smoke, that means they're...burning her!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Phoenix, take this arrow out of my back. Hurry!" Phoenix pulled it out and he only winced. "Stay here!" he yelled and ran towards the village. He jumped above the people and saw KiLaLa in the fire. He landed in front of the people and ran into the fire. "It's that older demon. We should have burned him!" the men yelled.
Inuyasha ran to KiLaLa and quickly untied her. He picked her up and jumped into the woods again. "If you come near us again, I will kill you!" he yelled.
A wolf rushed into the crowd and growled at the men that held Sango and Miroku. The men ran away. Sango and Miroku quickly ran into the woods. They untied the cloth around their mouths. "Where did Inuyasha go?" Miroku asked. "Back to the hut," Phoenix said and transformed back.
Inuyasha landed in front of the hut and set down KiLaLa. She wasn't breathing. "Come on," he said and started using cpr. He pushed down on her chest and blew air in her mouth. "You can't leave me," he said and cried while trying again. Miroku and Sango came to the hut and saw him trying to save KiLaLa. Sango and Phoenix started crying.
Inuyasha tried once more and finally got a faint pulse. He sighed in relief and laid next to her. "Don't leave me ever again," he said and passed out.
That was chapter three. I made it longer than all my other chapters to make it up to ya'll for taking so long. Send me a review saying if you want them shorter so they'll be posted faster, or longer but they'll take a little longer. Let me know what you think of the chapter.
Sayonara minna-san!
