Act XII: Writtain Of Blood And Tears
(Back In The Feudal Era.)
The unrelenting rain beat down as Kagome helped the critically injured Inu- Yasha back to Kaiede's hut. She hated Kikyo even more so now for what she had done to him, the large wound still oozing down his chest. Kaiede would be able to dress it for sure and Inu-Yasha was to survive, but what if Yu launched another assault? They surely wouldn't be able to withstand another.
It was then Kagome spotted Sango kneeling in the mud. She lie down the demon she carried and quickly ran over to see a bloody and battered Miroku being cradled in her arms. "Oh my god..." the damage he had taken was serious, a slash, obviously caused by the 'Tetsaiga' that nearly divided him in two.
A tear fell from Sango's face and fell upon the lifeless figure, a tear that was lost in the rain. "He tried to protect me." She whispered, her eyes streaming with sorrow. "He put himself between me and the 'Wind Scar'. He shouldn't have done it, I should have knocked him away!"
"Foolish monk..." Kagome looked over to see Inu-Yasha who had barely remained concious. He covered his through wound with one hand as he looked over at the three. "But then again, love makes fools of the wisest men..." He coughed up some red liquid and rolled to his side. Kagome knew his pain was unbearable, but he would try to look tough.
Pins jutted from his joints, a hole passed through his body, and he had nearly died twice that day. But none of it mattered to him, he would wear a brave face none the less.
Kagome put a hand against Miroku's cold lifeless neck and gasped. "He's breathing!" She exclaimed as Sango looked up at her, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "We have to get him out of the rain! Come on!"
Kagome quickly helped them into Kaiede's hut, then returned for Inu-Yasha. "Kagome..." he whispered as she lifted him to his feet. She looked into his glazed over eyes and knew that even though Inu-Yasha was there physically, his mind was slowly slipping away.
"Kagome..." She drew herself closer to hear if he was going to say anything else. "Kagome... Do you remember... Do you remember..." He was quickly slipping away now, he would lose conciousness soon again.
"Remember... The night we talked..." He was fighting now to stay awake to say whatever was on his mind. "We talked... In your time... You were asleep... But... But..." Kagome remembered back to that night alone in her room where they lie awake for a bit until she fell asleep. "I... I... I... Love you... And only you..."
Kagome's eyes began to well up. This probably wasn't the best time to mention this to her, but at least he was being honest about what he felt. She had always wanted to hear this, and now she did.
"Kagome... Oh my god..." Inu-Yasha continued to ramble as she helped him along towards Kaiede's. "Oh my god... Am I going to die...?"
"No!" Kagome yelled "Don't talk like that! Don't even think like that! You have to stay positive!" She looked him in the eye as she continued to talk. "I won't let you die, not now, not ever."
Inu-Yasha's collapsed in her arms, his own blood splattered against them both, his scent eternally imprinted upon her. "Inu-Yasha!" Kagome yelled as she watched him slip away from her.
Sango rushed ou to Kagome's side and helped her take him into Kaiede's, but as they entered the hut, Kagome saw it. She took Inu-Yasha inside and quickly returned outside to see it. The 'Tetsaiga', unpowered, standing in the mud.
"She said she wanted you to see what she had written." Sango whispered standing at the door. Kagome was afrain for a moment to see what she wrote, but gathered her courage quickly and strode over.
There in the mud was written in scratchy letters:
Kagome! Sorry I had to do all this.
Why not go for a ride on the
Tokyo tower wheel,
My treat through that clerk.
YU.
P.S. Bring your precious 'Tetsaiga"
The words stared at Kagome as she longed to draw Yu's blood once and for all, and now was her chance to try. She angrily smeared the nasty words with her foot and stood there for a minute.
She was afraid. Inu-Yasha, Miroku, and Sango were no match for her, what chance would she stand? She wanted to fight, but didn't know if she could. How many people had been hurt because of this?
Miroku was nearly beside himself, literally from a shot from the 'Wind Scar', but how had Yu been able to use it? The question burned in Kagome's mind as the cold rain chilled the rest of her body. Miroku's blood was all around her, spilled by that evil woman.
Sango was forced to watch as Miroku was torn apart by the vicious attack, she was so detatched now. She didn't deserve to witness such a sacrifice after everything she's been through.
Shippou was still missing, knocked away early in the fight.
And Inu-Yasha, who had taked theworst so far. His limbs were mangled and mutilated by that psycho, but it would take more than that for him to stay down in her time. Then a nice chunk of his chest was removed coutesy of Kikyo, that bitch. He could hardly stand, let alone walk or fight.
It was all up to her now. Kagome knew it and feared it. None of the others could fight this fight for her, it was her turn to pick up the sword from where it had dropped, and to defend her friends who had protected her so many times before.
Kagome thrust a hand out and grasped the handle of the 'Tetsaiga' firmly. She pulled it from the muck and looked over the bloody, worn blade. The both stood, the sword and her drenched in blood, the sword of Miroku's, Kagome of Inu-Yasha's.
The smell seemed to invigorate her though, giving her a reason to fight. It reminded her of what Yu had done and why she must now pay with her life. Her actions were unforgivable, and now Kagome would act as judge, jury, and executioner.
"His breathing is very shallow." Kaiede said as Sango leaned over Miroku's body, tears still falling from her face. "He may survive, but it is quite uncertain if he will. He has lost much blood, and still is bleeding unfortunately." A damp red cloth pressed against a part of his chest gave evidence to this.
"He has to survive." Sango whispered. "I won't let him die now! Not like this..." she collapsed on Miroku's body and continued to weep as Kaiede tended to the large missing piece of Inu-Yasha.
"There is nothing more I can do Sango. We must wait and see." She wrapped a large patch soaked in tea leaves over the wound and strapped Inu-Yasha down. He would try to get up when he woke up, but she wouldn't allow this this time.
A crack of lightning and gust of wind blew the door open and both Sango and Kaiede turned to see who was there. Covered in blood stood Kagome, her hair covering her eyes, and the 'Tetsaiga' in her right hand.
"I'm going back to my time." She said monotonusly "I'm going to kill Yu myself. Do not allow Inu-Yasha to follow me."
Neither of them knew what to say as Kagome began to walk off towards the 'Bone Eater's Well' as the rain pelted her. Sango got up and chased her to the well where she stopped suddenly.
"Kagome..." She began. "You can't go fight Yu..."
Kagome looked ominously at the well. "Why not?" she said coldly.
Sango tried to take the 'Tetsaiga' from her hand, but Kagome swept it away. There was no use trying to stop her. "She'll kill you. If we couldn't stop her, how can you stop her alone?"
They both knew she didn't stand a chance against Yu, that Yu's skill and power was obviously unmatched to any of their's. Kagome shook her head. "You guys are my best friends. Yu has to pay for what she's done. Inu-Yasha and Miroku are both out of action, Chippou's M.I.A., and you can't face her after what happened. It's my turn to protect you guys, and the only way I can do this is to face Yu myself."
Sango could hear the fear in her voice as she stepped up to the well and balanced on the edge. She turned back to her, the rain totally soaking them both and looked Sango in the eye. A sad expression covered her face as she stroked away a tear. "Sango... If I don't come back... Tell Inu-Yasha, I love him too."
And with that, Kagome was gone.

Hey it's me it's me it's Artie to the 'D'
Whoa, heavy stuff in this chapter huh? Trust me, things are just starting to heat up for these people. As always you can e-mail me as with any comments of suggestions. By the way, to my readers and all Shippou fans, I'm so sorry I've been writing 'Shippou' as 'Chippou' a thousand apologies and I beg for your forgiveness. Maybe a gift would allow you to forgive me? How about a gift of a chapter preview?
The feudal fight may be over, but the bloodbath has just begun! Kagome returns to her era seeking revenge, and finds it when she decides to take on Yu with the help of the 'Tetsaiga' which seems to react to her for some odd reason. Yu accepts the fight and the fur begins to fly. Meanwhile, back in the feudal era, Inu-Yasha wakes up. No 'Tetsaiga', no Kagome, no control! The real demon is exposed as he goes on the hunt for his enemy and his love back in Kagome's era. More pain, hate, love and loss in Act XIII: My Body As A Weapon And My Body As A Shield.
I can't wait for it, how about Yu? (Sorry had to crack a pun sooner or later or I was gonna explode). Anyway, please respond, I love feedback, and tune in for another exciting and powerful episode of: Inu-Yasha's Totally Excellent Adventure.
