AN: I've been really tired lately so I didn't really want to type up this chapter yet...that and I had no idea what this chapter was going to be about, but I decided that if I didn't type it today, I'd end up not typing it at all. And Hinote and Kasai, my muses, wanted fluff and gore in this chapter, so there is. There's also Kikyou-bashing!! ::kyuuka gets an evil glint in her eyes:: MUAH-HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Ahem.

kyuuka: Hey!!! Those are my pixie stix!! kit, get back here!!!! ::kyuuka chases after kit::
Last Chapter:
There standing before him was a girl with long straight black hair tied back in a loose ponytail and brown eyes. She wore a pair of red pants and a white shirt. The one word he spoke was filled with so many different emotions that you couldn't tell if he was happy or sad. The word left his lips slowly as if time had slowed down.
"Kikyou..."
WARNING: Kikyou bashing in this chapter! Kikyou lovers do not read! Kikyou haters, this is for us!
Stealing Four Souls and a Few Hearts
Chapter 6: Kikyou Killed
"Inuyasha, I see you still remember me," remarked Kikyou with a smirk on her face.
"You're not Kikyou! You don't smell like Kikyou!" Inuyasha responded angrily. Was Naraku messing with his mind?
"Oh but Inuyasha, I am Kikyou. Naraku brought me back," she responded.
"What do you want with us?" yelled Kagome. She was pissed off that this stupid person would just try to waltz back into Inuyasha's life. Kikyou then noticed Kagome and studied her.
"So you have replaced me, have you? She may be the new protector, but she will never be anything like me, you realize this, do you not?" she said, the smile still on her lips.
"You're right, Kikyou, she won't be anything like you, and that's what I was hoping for! Why would I want her to be an ungrateful bossy bitch like you?" growled Inuyasha. Over the past 2 weeks that he had gotten to know Kagome, he'd grown rather fond (AN: Ahem, a little more than 'fond') of her, although he would never admit that to her.
"Inuyasha, have you forgotten your promise already?" questioned Kikyou, smile still in place.
Inuyasha wanted to wipe that smile off her face, it was pissing him off. "No, I promised I would never forget you, no matter what happened!" Inuyasha smirked. "But I haven't forgotten you, I remember you perfectly, from your clinginess to your want to turn me full human and now, if I'm not mistaken, you've betrayed me!"
His little speech seemed to anger Kikyou and her smile left her face. "I only betrayed you because Naraku threatened to kill me again if I didn't tell him your weakness!" she said, as if her reason was perfectly acceptable. (AN: Puh-lease, shove a sock in it, Kikyou! ::grins evilly:: Hehe, I forgot, I control her!)
"And that's a good reason?" Kagome shouted, seeing Inuyasha was too angry to say anything without ripping Kikyou to shreds. "If you're more worried about your own life than his, then why the hell are you here!?"
"I came to see if Inuyasha has been faithful to me," Kikyou replied.
"He doesn't belong to you, and as far as we can tell, he doesn't want to belong to you!"
"You are annoying me. You may be the new protector, but I'm still more powerful than you will ever be!" Kikyou shouted and pulled out a bow and arrow. While she strung the arrow, Kagome couldn't think, she was just too shocked. It wasn't until Kikyou had released the arrow and it was coming right for her that she came to her senses, but she didn't have time to move out of the way.
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled as he pushed her out of the way. Instead of Kagome getting hit, Inuyasha got hit on his left arm, but he pulled it out like it was nothing. It seemed that Kikyou's miko powers had been dulled since she was brought back to life. Inuyasha turned to face Kikyou and was about to say something when Kagome stood up and strung her own bow and arrow.
"You hurt Inuyasha, you bitch!" she shouted and released the arrow. (AN: Yeah, I know Kagome probably wouldn't say bitch, but it was just so tempting!) As it flew to its target, it glowed brighter than it ever had and started to pick up speed. It finally reached its target and hit Kikyou where her heart should've been (AN: But we all know she doesn't have one). Kikyou stumbled back, clutching the arrow that was embedded into her chest.
"You will always be my replacement," she whispered with her last breath as she died. A black shadow surrounded her body and when it was gone, only a pile of bones and dirt were in its place. Kagome looked back at everyone. The first person she noticed was Inuyasha who was still staring at the pile of bones and dirt. She walked up to him, slowly and dropped her bow and arrows.
"Inuyasha...Inuyasha, are you alright?" she asked silently. Inuyasha looked down at her, his amber eyes filled with...concern? Why was he concerned about her? He was the one who got hit with an arrow!
He nodded. "I'm fine, Kagome." And then he pulled her into a tight embrace. At first Kagome was tense, after all, it was the first time he had hugged her, but then she relaxed and hugged him back.
"I was so worried about you, Kagome. When Kikyou shot that arrow, all I could think was that I didn't want to lose you," he whispered into her hair. Kagome smiled.
"I was worried about you too! When you took that arrow for me, I was so afraid I'd never be able to talk to you or sit you anymore!" she said jokingly. Unfortunately, her joke turned out to be a bad one, because Inuyasha came crashing to the ground and since they were hugging, he landed on top of her. He heard snickering from above him but he couldn't look up to see who it was.
"Whoever's laughing at us is gonna be dead as soon as I get up!" he growled. The snickering immediately stopped. He looked at Kagome's face. She was probably gonna kill him for this one. But oddly, she was smiling!
"What are you so happy about?" he asked.
Kagome immediately blushed and tried to hide her smile. "I...uh...n-nothing!"
As soon as he felt the spell wearing off, Inuyasha got up, although he didn't really want to (AN: ::wink, wink, nudge, nudge::) He then offered his hand to Kagome and pulled her up. He then turned to face Sango, Miroku, and Shippo.
"Which one of you was laughing!?" he growled out.
Sango and Shippo pointed to Miroku while he pointed to a tree. After realizing where he was pointing, he gulped and mentally slapped himself.
"Hehe...Inuyasha, I swear I was not laughing! I'm a monk and I would not lie to you!"
Inuyasha growled and said, "You have a ten-second head start. Now! 1...2...3..."
Realizing Inuyasha was serious, he took off running in a random direction.
"6...7...8..." Inuyasha continued.
"Run, Miroku, run!!" shouted Shippo.
"10!" and with that Inuyasha raced after Miroku. Shippo jumped onto Kagome's shoulder and Sango walked over to her as well.
"Miroku will never learn will he, Kagome?" wondered Shippo.
"No, I don't think he will. Tough break, Sango," Kagome replied.
"What do you mean 'tough break'!? I don't like him Kagome!" she yelled.
"I never said you did, but now that you mention it..." Kagome started and saw the look on Sango's face. She took that as her cue to run.
----Some time later, at Myouga's house----
Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku rang the doorbell to Myouga's house. They had dropped Shippo off at Inuyasha's house to play with Rin so he wouldn't have to be bored. The door opened and a short fat man answered the door. He had a gray mustache and big eyes and some gray hair above his ears. He had a rather pointy nose. He reminded Kagome of a flea.
"Ah, you must be the applicants," he said.
"Yeah, that's us all right," Inuyasha said.
"Come in, and find a seat on the couch. I'm just finishing up with another applicant."
They all followed the old man in and entered the living room. There was a guy about their age sitting there. He had pointy ears, long black hair put up in a high ponytail and striking blue eyes. He also had a wolf tail. He looked up as they entered the room and studied them. Myouga sat down across from him and motioned for the others to sit as well. Inuyasha sat on the couch with Myouga to his left and Kagome to his right. On the couch across from them, Sango sat on the right side of this new guy and Miroku sat to his left. After making sure everyone was comfortable, Myouga spoke.
"Ok, Kouga, I think I probably have an opening for you. I'll call you to let you know for sure."
Kouga only nodded and stood up to leave, but as he was leaving, he stared at Kagome. Inuyasha gave a warning growl when he saw this and Kouga growled right back and then left. Myouga then turned his attention to them.
"So you four need jobs, correct?"
They all nodded.
"Well, as you know, it's a summer camp for kids. Have you had any experience with children?"
Kagome answered first, "I have a little brother named Souta."
Sango nodded, "I have a little brother named Kohaku."
Myouga then turned to the 2 guys. "What about you two?"
"My older brother, Sesshomaru, has an adopted little girl named Rin," said Inuyasha, hoping it would be good enough experience.
"We also have a little kitsune youkai named Shippo that we take along, but he's with Rin right now," explained Miroku.
Myouga nodded and looked thoughtful. "What are your names?"
"Kagome here," Kagome said cheerfully, pointing to herself.
"Inuyasha," he said, half raising a hand.
"I'm Miroku," said Miroku, slightly bowing his head.
"Sango, that's me!" responded Sango giving a little smile.
Myouga looked at each one in turn. "Well, the pay will be minimal, but if you work hard enough, you might get a raise."
"Does that mean we're hired?" exclaimed Sango.
"No, it means I'll think about it. I'll call you tomorrow with my decision."
Sango was a little disheartened, but they got up and left anyway. Waving goodbye, they headed to the car.
"Shotgun!" shouted Kagome as she rushed to the car.
"No fair!" cried Sango, rushing after her.
"But that's my seat!" protested Miroku, following the girls.
Inuyasha sighed. "Kagome called it first, so she sits up front. Sorry, Sango, but you gotta sit with the monk."
Sango's face turned to a look of horror. "NOOOOOO!!! You can't do this to me!"
Miroku feigned a look of hurt. "Sango, you wound me!" She responded by smacking him on the head and climbing in the car. Miroku, rubbing his head, followed after her. Kagome happily climbed in the front seat and Inuyasha slid into the driver's seat. Inuyasha turned the key in the ignition and started the car.
"Where do you wanna go, guys?" he asked.
"What time is it?" asked Kagome.
"It's 4:15," responded Miroku.
"Let's go swimming," suggested Sango.
"Great idea!!" shouted Miroku.
"Oh no!" groaned Sango, but she knew that since she had suggested it, they would want to go swimming anyway. And since it was summer, it'd be great to get out of the heat. So Inuyasha sped off to each of their houses so they could change.
----Approximately 30 minutes later at swimming pool----
"Hey, guys, there's no one here!" shouted Kagome who was the first to reach the pool. Sango was walking up behind her but Inuyasha was struggling to get Miroku out of his car since Sango had again rendered him unconscious. He finally got Miroku out and locked his car. He then proceeded to slap him until he awoke.
"What do you mean, 'no one's here'?" asked Sango.
"Look for yourself, no one's here!"
Sango looked and sure enough, no one was there. Inuyasha came up behind them with Miroku following.
"That's odd," commented Miroku.
"Hey, more room for us!" shouted Inuyasha as dropped his towel onto a chair and dove in the water. He was wearing a pair of red swimming trunks and had his hair in a ponytail down by his neck. He surfaced and shouted to them.
"Come on in guys! The water's great!"
Miroku then dropped his towel on a chair next to Inuyasha's and dove in as well. He wore a pair of purple trunks, despite the laughs from Inuyasha, Sango, and Kagome. He surfaced as well and waved them in. Not wanting to miss out on the fun, Sango and Kagome dropped their towels as well and jumped in. Kagome wore a green two-piece that wasn't too revealing and Sango wore a blue version. They had bought them together so they would match. They surfaced soon after and looked around for Inuyasha and Miroku. They were nowhere to be seen.
"Inuyasha...Miroku?" Kagome called out, wondering where they went. Suddenly she felt something lifting her up and found herself on Inuyasha's shoulders. She looked over at Sango. She was on Miroku's shoulders.
"Chicken Fight!!" yelled Inuyasha as he walked over to their opponent. Kagome and Sango smirked. This would be fun! They grabbed each other's arms and tried to wrestle the other off of their support, which were the guys. Kagome finally got the upper hand and managed to knock Sango off.
"Yay!! I won!! Go me! Go me!" Kagome shouted. Then Sango broke her fit of joy by pulling her down into the water as well.
"Hey!" Kagome sputtered as she broke the surface. Sango only laughed at her. Kagome then splashed Sango. Sango stopped laughing and splashed her back. The guys soon joined in and it was an all-out, every-man-for-himself water fight. After an hour or two, they were too tired to continue the fight so they called a truce. They all got out of the water and dried off and headed back to Inuyasha's car.
"Same seats!" called Kagome.
"Damnit!" griped Sango. Kagome laughed as they all got in the car.
"What now?" questioned Inuyasha.
"Let's go see a movie," suggested Miroku.
"Ok, but we have to change first," agreed Kagome.
Inuyasha nodded his head and stopped at everyone's house to change. They then drove to the mall and sat at a table to argue over which movie to see. After the arguing stopped, they finally agreed on "Big Trouble in Little China." It was a festival or something that night, so they were playing old movies. They bought the tickets and headed inside for a few hours of fun.
AN: Whew, I'm finally done. That was harder than I thought it'd be! Well, there ya go! Kagome kills Kikyou (thank god), Kouga comes into the picture and they meet up with Myouga! I got a bunch of aspects today, right Hinote and Kasai?
