Chapter Eight: I Thought You Were Dead!

She entered through the door keeping her glowing soul stealers at bay. She wanted to do this herself, find out who this demon was. The snake like soul stealers glided around the hut, making sure no one could come in or out. She even tried to resemble me!!! She's not going to get away with it!!! The attacker poised an arrow to strike into Kagome when she noticed a crimson and silver figure outside trying to get in.

"Is that you Kikyo? I thought you were dead!" Inuyasha cried out to the woman trying to kill Kagome. Kikyo glared at him with hate radiating from her eyes.

"I am dead Inuyasha, I died fifty years ago!" Kikyo replied through gritted teeth, "And now I have come back and I'm going to kill these two demons!" She turned her attention to the snoozing girl and child, pulling her arrow back to strike them through their hearts. Inuyasha swiftly broke through the soul stealers and knocked the bow and arrow from Kikyo's hands. She quickly retaliated and smacked his face with her cold palm. Inuyasha couldn't move from the shock. She had hit him! A glowing light grew from beside Kagome, the jewel shards were blazing brightly. Kikyo caught sight of them and took the jar to examine them closer.

"What are these Inuyasha? Who is this demon?" Kikyo inquired to the boy.

"Those are shards of the Jewel of Four Souls, and that is no demon. She's Kagome, Kaede said that she's the reincarnation of you." He replied softly not wanting to wake the sleepers. She glared at him thinking that he was lying to her.

"It can't be the scared jewel, I burned it along with my body so long ago, and you are lying to me Inuyasha. Nothing has changed after fifty years, has it?" she cooed annoyingly. Her expression returned to loathing for Inuyasha and soul stealers had entered the shack. His eyes became large as some of the green glowing snakes wrapped themselves around him and a support beam. He was going no where. Cruel laughter sounded from Kikyo's throat.

"So who is she? Your new lover? Have you replaced me in your heart? You're a fool to believe anyone could love you as much as I did." She spat her words at him wishing he had died like her. With his claws entangled Inuyasha couldn't move and more of the soul stealers were coming to bind him tighter than before. He struggled against them, trying to get free, but it was no use.

"Maybe you'd like to join me in hell?" Kikyo taunted as she picked up her bow and arrows. She loaded the bow and drew back the arrow and pointed it directly at his heart. Her cold eyes told him that she wasn't just messing around, that this was real. Hoping that Kagome would awake soon he shut his eyes so he wouldn't watch the arrow pierce though his body.
