A.N.: Well, here I am again folks. I'm sure you're dying with anxiety (not)
to continue reading, so I'll be brief. If a couple of sentences in this
chapter sound a bit odd, it was because I knew where I wanted to go with
the story, but didn't QUITE know how to get there. So, bare with me during
those lines, k? Also, I know some of the charaters are OOC, but not really
that much. I, can picture Kagome cussing...maybe. -- (sigh)....
As for you, Sano99, hear is an uzi. Have fun...but don't kill me. Hence the chappie title. (Gave you a bad feeling, didn't it??) I'd like to give great big hugs to all my reviewers, but that would be just odd.... La tee da...
Oh, and another thing. FanFiction.net has been deleting all the asterisks and stuff, so if something seems out of place, it's either because the asterick is missing, or the 'at'sign. Grrrr. Why do they DO that.... (probably SOME googd excuse, but, what the hell.....)
Aaaaaaaand...the moment you've all been waiting for: Kikyo's tragic demise is now here! Read on to find out! HAVE FUN READING AND THANK YOU!
DISCALIMER: INUYASHA DOES NOT BELONG TO ME. There, simply put.
The End of the Triangle: Chapter 3
"Come on, Kikyo! You and me, LET'S GO!" Kagome hollered, holding Miroku's staff out in front of her.
Kikyo stared. She grinned inwardly; she hadn't known that the plot would aggravate her reincarnated self as well.
She put her hands on her hips. "Foolish girl! You think YOU can threaten ME?"
"Damn right!" Kagome shrilled, switching the staff from hand to hand as she pulled up her sleeves. She was ready, wait, MORE than ready to charge at the smiling little broad...but someone else reacted first.
Inuyasha blew past Kagome, leaving her in a puff of dust. He cocked his arm back, bringing hi claws to bare. He cracked his knuckles, screaming: "Sesshomaru you bastard! I'll fucking rip you apart!"
"HA," Sesshomaru looked down his nose at the quickly approaching hanyou. "You're still not even a threat."
"SHUT! UP!" Inuyasha stepped foreword on his left foot, shifting all his weight to give his arm more power behind it. He took a giant slash, but missed his mark. Sesshomaru simply hopped strait up, to land on the other side of Kikyo.
"Damn you!" Inuyasha changed directions, swerving around Kikyo. Sesshomaru just jumped back to where he had been in the first place. Inuyasha kept swinging, and Sesshomaru kept dodging.
'Interesting,' Sesshomaru thought. 'No matter how furious he is, he refuses to harm the wench...even to shove her out of his way. Even after all she's done to him, betrayed him, shot him, 'killed' him for fifty long years. Still...."
"Will you stop it with the flying, you coward?!" Inuyasha demanded.
"Certainly." With a flick of his wrist, Sesshomaru wrapped his tail around Inuyasha's neck and flung him into the air.
"ACK!" Inuyasha gagged as he soared through the air. His hair went everywhere as he bounced off the ground, head first.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried.
Inuyasha wiped the mud off his face as a small trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth. Grass and twigs were entangled in his hair, while his ears were pressed flat up against his head in rage.
He coughed, rubbing his neck. "Dammit to hell...."
Kagome stood dumbfounded, her arm holding the staff shaking with anger. The small gold hoops on the end jingled loudly with the motion. She had to get in there, she had to DO something!
Sesshomaru brought his arm back, claws glowing green, ready to hack at Inuyasha.
"Now die...."
"Wait!"" Kikyo commanded. Sesshomaru got these really big eyes as she pulled his arm down next to her. She whispered to him quietly, "Not yet. I haven't seen him suffer nearly enough. Just wait, I have an idea."
"Another idea?" he grumbled.
Kikyo laughed. "Inuyasha. It makes you angry, doesn't it?"
"What does?"
"The fact that I'm not yours. The fact that I am happy elsewhere, especially with your brother."
"No shit, it pisses the hell outta me! What did you expect, you tramp?!"
Kikyo giggled into her hand, using the other to intertwine her fingers with Sesshomaru's. "I expected just that."
She stiffened up, casually flipping her hair over her shoulder. "Indeed, Inuyasha, I don't believe you've suffered enough at all."
"What the hell is THAT supposed to mean?!"
Kikyo narrowed here eyes in an evil grin, then used her free arm to grab Sesshomaru's shoulder, spinning him around to face her.
Sesshomaru lowered his eyebrows. "Human, when do I get to kill Inuya---- mmph!"
Kikyo had grabbed a giant lock of the dog demon's hair, pulling him down to her height. She forced herself upon him like a great big slut, sticking her tongue in his mouth in a great big kiss.
"MMPH!" he repeated, all his hair standing on end, his one arm waving wildly.
Kagome had one of those priceless anime expressions, where here eyes were only little dots and her mouth open in surprise. "Hic-ic!" she squeaked.
Inuyasha just stared again, only making a hoarse gagging noise.
Sesshomaru's eyes glowed red, and he craned Kikyo's head back by her hair, prying her off him. "Too far," he growled, "you went too far, wench."
"But the deal...."
"You went too far." Sesshomaru looked really, really, pissed eyes slanted and glowing red, fangs bared, hair blowing all over the place.
Kikyo grimaced in pain. "Let go, you're hurting me," she commanded.
"Good," Sesshomaru hissed.
Kikyo stared in horror, while Inuyasha stared in the greatest confusion. Kikyo closed her eyes and bared her teeth. "How DARE you...." She growled.
"How dare YOU!" Kagome came out of no where, Miroku's staff held high over her head. With a look of pure anger on her face, Kagome brought the staff smashing down on Kikyo's precious little face.
"You demented bitch!" Kagome screamed. Surprised by the girl's outburst, Sesshomaru's eyes changed back to normal, and he dropped Kikyo. She fell backwards, sprawled over the side of the hill.
"You...you filthy little...." Kikyo propped herself up on one elbow, using her other hand to touch her now-squashed pretty little nose.
Kagome stood strait, glaring down upon her victim. "It was all a trick, wasn't it? Wasn't it?!" Inuyasha continued to stare blankly from her spot on the floor.
"It was all you, wasn't it? You set us all up!" Kagome demanded, taking a step toward Kikyo, holding Miroku's staff ahead of her menacingly.
Kikyo wiped the blood off her face. "I'm going to kill you for that, you vile child. I will make you suffer!"
"You're big on that, aren't you?" Sesshomaru muttered, trying the best to retain his dignity. He realized he should have known better than to have trusted Kikyo. Now, he would have to work with this other human girl, or even his dumb ass half brother. What ever it took to destroy the vile beast that Kikyo had become.
Kikyo crawled backwards, lost her balance, and rolled down the hill. "You shan't touch me, I am warning you!" She pointed, her hair and clothing all dirty from her tumble.
"Oh, Kikyo," Kagome sighed, "You're not even a PERSON anymore. You belong with your true self...who is dead." She began to walk down the edge of the hill, tapping the staff in palm of her hand. (A.N.: Okay, I know more OOC- ness. Bare with me here.smile)
'I can do it,' Kagome reassured herself. Kikyo wasn't even a person anymore, and her new soul had turned evil. Her only goal in life was to kill Inuyasha, and Kagome for that matter. And, she had delivered many Shikon no Tama shards to Naraku. Why would something like that need to say alive?
Kikyo scrambled backwards as Kagome raised the staff high above her head.
Inuyasha blinked his dry eyes, (he had been staring for the past ten minutes.) He looked around frantically. He felt like he was going to be sick. He remembered all the medicines that Kagome had in her bottomless pit of a backpack. He needed something...anything...anything that could get him high enough he wouldn't register what was just about to happen to Kikyo. It's now like he really cared now, but....
As he reached the yellow backpack, he tore it open, spilling its contents along the ground. He rooted through it, checking out every bottle of pills.
"As-per-in... 'Tums?' Tums? What's that?" he muttered. "Oh, here's a new one.... Prozac...."
One of Kikyo's enraged shrieks reached his ears. Spinning around, he saw Kikyo roll a few feet after being hit with the staff in the back. He heard Kagome caution: "Listen Kikyo. Let me end it. Return home."
"NEVER!" Kikyo growled, beginning to hurl rocks at Kagome.
Inuyasha sat there, staring. He couldn't let Kagome do this...even if it needed to be done. It would scar her for life. Sesshomaru could do it, but...he wouldn't interfere now. Now, Inuyasha could do it, he realized that suddenly. Who better? After all, he would refuse to let it bother him. He couldn't let it.
Even more frantically than before, Inuyasha tore through the endless pile of stuff. A Pepsi...some coins...medicine...bandages...some 'unmentionables'...a rock...a can of tuna...a sledgehammer...some sunflower seeds....
Hold it.
A sledgehammer?
Inuyasha picked up the heavy object. It was only a solid iron brick atop a foot long wooden handle trimmed with shiny metal plates.
"Feh...Kagome has everything in that bag," Inuyasha muttered, swinging the heavy tool over his shoulder. 'This heavy thing could be used to wrack some serious havoc.'
Inuyasha stood, quickly turning to where Kagome was towering over Kikyo. He broke into a gliding run, quickly closing the distance.
Kagome flipped the staff over, so as to stab Kikyo with the stick end. She closed her eyes. Raising the staff again, high above Kikyo. She could do it...if she didn't think about it.
"NO!" Kikyo suddenly gathered a burst of energy, willing herself to live. "You cannot overcome me! No one challenges me! I'll kill you yet, foolish child!"
Kagome was slightly taken aback by the furiousity of her attack. Kikyo had stood, grabbed the staff, and fought violently for control of it.
"Kikyo, please!" Kagome shrieked.
"Please, what?!" Kikyo had a frightened panicked look in her eyes, which were wide with the pupils dilated. Every time Kikyo yelled at Kagome, blood sprayed out of her mouth. "You think I want you to kill me?! I can never die! I refuse!"
Kagome leaned all her weight back, trying to free the staff from Kikyo. "Kikyo, stop!"
"NEVER!" Kikyo punched Kagome low in the gut, causing Kagome to double over in pain.
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled.
Sesshomaru began running to Kagome's aid. Whether she was human or not, he couldn't let her fall to that demented clay pot.
When Sesshomaru was running at full speed, and the g-force had pulled his hair, tail and sleeve strait back, he notice something, just a little too late. He suddenly heard Jaken's squeaky voice saying, "Oh Lord Sesshomaru! Lord Sesshomaru, I finally found you! I---Ieeee!" Sesshomaru couldn't stop, an plowed right into the little toad, tripping. He flew a few feet, and skidded along the ground, flat on his face.
Jaken fell over, squeaking. "I am sorry milord! I, I, I,...."
Forgetting Kagome for only a moment, Sesshomaru sat up and grabbed Jaken back the back of his little head. "Have I ever told you. Jaken, that you are in the way often." The dog demon was covered in grass stains and mud now, and he looked none to happy about it.
"N-no, milord, you haven't," Jaken stammered.
"ARGH!" Sesshomaru groaned, quickly standing. "Stay over there!" he muttered, drop kicking Jaken somewhere over the hills. When he averted his attention back to Kagome, he saw that Inuyasha had gotten there first.
Figures. Whenever he was trying to be nice....he shrugged.
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled again.
Kagome pried her eyes open, still shielding herself from Kikyo's frantic attacks. "Inu...yasha!" she screamed, "Wait! Don't...!"
Too late.
BONK.
Kikyo let out a choking scream as her eyes rolled up into her head. Inuyasha had brought the sledgehammer down into her skull, killing her almost instantly. She fell back, landing on Inuyasha.
He stared for the longest time, just trembling as he held her. Kagome leaned down, laying her head on his shoulder in comfort.
"Inuyasha...." She whispered. "It's finally finished...." "...." Inuyasha closed his eyes. "Yes...."
A.N.: There HA, that's where I'm ending it. I had a weird moment, I so I put in Kagome's last line as what Kaoru says after Kenshin dies in "Reflections." (Not that Kikyo deserves that kind of sentiment....grrrr.)
Not much of a cliffy, but top tell you the truth, here I'm stumped. I have very little clue (as usual...J/K!) as to where the story should go from here. I have one or two or three little ideas, but I want to hear from you readers. You can e-mail or review me your ideas, and I'll see if I can incorporate them. (Though, my e-mail is currently busted as of 5/11, so that may end up being a pain in the ass. -- (sigh))
I'll update when I can, but near with me if I don't for a while. I like reviews, and I love all who give them. Unless they're a flamer. Then (makes a certain hand gesture)...yeah.
Sayonara!!!!
