Chapter Fifteen

Kagome?! But how?

If I smile and don't believe

Soon I will know I'll wake from this dream

"Oh Inuyasha I have returned to you! Finally we can be together, like we were fifty years ago! Are you not happy that I have returned to you?" Kikyou put her hand to Inuyasha's cheek and smiled slightly.

"Well its just that...well I..."He frowned at Kikyou's touch. Her hand was no longer cold and clammy. She now had Kagome's warmth. Inuyasha wanted to bat Kikyou's hand away, and yet he didn't. He was happy that Kikyou was alive again, but did she call Kagome here and kill her? He needed to answer Kikyou's question because she seemed to be getting annoyed.

"You killed her didn't you?" Inuyasha moved out of her grasp and folded his arms across his chest

Kikyou laughed lightly and smiled again. "Of course not, the foolish girl called me here and gave me the rest of her soul,"

"Kagome did that? But why?" Inuyasha stared down at Kagome, whose blank expression sent a chill down his spin.

Don't try to fix me I'm not broken

"Well before I drained her of her soul she did say something about everything not going right in her life, how you compared her to me, which is very unusual because you know I am the one for you Inuyasha, I never understood what you saw in that wench over there," Wench...it was what he used to call her. No, I-I can't give up! I need to find someway to bring Kagome back!

"Inuyasha what is wrong, do you not agree with me? That wench is useless! Why her powers are...are futile compared to mine! We, Inuyasha can be together again!"

Hello I'm the lie, living for you so you can hide

Now he understood. Kikyou, she was back to her old self, just like she was fifty years ago. Kagome, she was always by his side. He needed her! Kikyou was very full of herself! She never depended on anyone, she was so emotionless, gentle yes, but her touch, her smell it wasn't Kagome's. Was it because he was around Kagome for so long that he grew accustomed for her ways that he now overlooked Kikyou's? Kagome needed and depended on people. She was very gentle and kind. Inuyasha needed to get Kagome back. But did he really want to kill Kikyou?

Don't cry...

"No Kikyou," Inuyasha let his hands fall to his sides. "We can never be together anymore. Don't you see? I've become a different person, I-I no longer love you, it has taken me awhile, but Kagome is the one I need now, not you...I'm sorry but I love Kagome." He saw Kikyou tense at those words and she crossed her arms.

"You fool! This twit has given me her life so we can be together now! And now you say that that isn't what you want? !"

"Yes okay? I love Kagome now! Not You!" Inuyasha fought to keep his anger in check

"No if I cannot have you then no other woman will," Kikyou reached behind her and drew out her quiver and bow. Quickly she drew an arrow back and prepared to release it. "Prepare for death!"

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping

Inuyasha braced himself for Kikyou's purifying arrow to strike him. At least this way he could be with Kagome. He saw Kikyou liberate the arrow and the pinkish white light form around it. Waiting, waiting, waiting.

Uh oh, is Inuyasha gunna die too? Review plz?
