Recap:
Inuyasha felt so stupid. How could he have let this happen twice? First with Kikyo and now with Kagome. Was the whole world against him!? It took all of Inuyasha's self-control to not go crazy. He picked up Kagome's body and cried. "Kagome. I'm so sorry." Inuyasha sobbed, "It wasn't your fault that Sesshoumaru wanted to take my life. It's not fair!" With that, he stood up, Kagome's body in his arms, and left for Kaede's village, dreading what would happen to him when he told Sango and the others, not to mention Kagome's family. Hopefully, they wouldn't kill him. But only time will tell.
Inuyasha was walking up to Kaede's village, when he was cut off by Kikyou. "Inuyasha, does that girl mean more to me than I do?" Kikyou cried. "Kikyou!" Inuyasha didn't know what to do. Who should he choose? Well, what would make each of the girls happy? He can't exactly choose the alive one, because both of them were, well, dead. And it would be useless to decide for looks, because Kikyou and Kagome looked like twins. There's only one choice left: Decision by personality. Inuyasha tried to remember what it was like when Kikyou was still alive, 50 years ago. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember. Now, Kikyou was full of hatred. The flames of anger and vengeance were around her. Lightning flashed in her eyes as she awaited her answer. This wasn't the Kikyou he remembered. The Kikyou he knew would have wanted him to move on. She wouldn't have wanted for him to suffer. This wasn't Kikyou! "Actually, priestess, she does." Inuyasha said coolly. "Nani?! You choose that girl over me?!" Kikyou was shocked. This conversation was not going the way she wanted it to! "And why do you call me 'priestess'? Have you forgotten my name?" Kikyou asked desperately. "You have no name," Inuyasha smirked. "It's Kikyou you fool!" Kikyou really lost her temper now. What was he playing at?! "Oh? But you aren't Kikyou. Because, Kikyou never lost her temper. To me, you're just a bitch in Kikyou's body. An impostor, call it whatever you like. But to me, you aren't Kikyou, so I won't call you by that name." Inuyasha smirked inwardly at the look on Kikyou's face. He has no regrets in those words. "Now, get out of my way, priestess!" Inuyasha shouted. "No! Not until I claim what's rightfully mine—that worthless girl's soul!" Kikyou cried. "If I can't have you, then no one can!"
Inuyasha was shocked. He had no idea this impostor was so desperate. But she will never get Kagome's soul. It was never hers in the first place. Kagome may be Kikyou's reincarnation, but that can only go so far. Each person is unique, and so is their soul, reincarnation or not. And he was not going to let this impostor steal Kagome's soul before it reaches its final resting place. "Sakon Tessou!" Inuyasha shouted, his claws ripping through the dead corpse's body. He would have never killed Kikyou, but a mere replacement of Kikyou was a different story. Then, Inuyasha once again set off for Kaede's village.
Inuyasha sighed. He was at Kaede's hut. He then braced himself, and walked inside. "Inuyasha!" a certain little kitsune kit cried. "Inuyasha! Sango and Miroku said at the same time. "We were so worried about you and—"Sango was cut short when she saw Kagome's body in Inuyasha's arms. "What the...?! Inuyasha? What happened?!" Sango cried. "Tell us what happened." Kaede demanded. Sighing, Inuyasha told them what happened, how Sesshoumaru told Kagome that if she wanted to save him, Kagome would have to trade him with her life. He also told them how he woke up and saw Kagome on the ground, dead.
Sango, Miroku, Shippou and Kaede all had tears in their eyes once Inuyasha finished. Kagome was always so caring, even in the darkest of times. She was like a light in the darkness. She didn't deserve to die. Not yet, anyway. "Well, we're going to have to break the news to her family sooner or later." Inuyasha said. "We? Who's we? You go tell them!" Miroku said. "Nani?! Why me???" Inuyasha panicked. "Because," Sango pointed out, "you're the only one now that can go through the well."And Inuyasha knew they were right. "Alright, you guys wait here (like you have another choice) and I'll go get it over with. Wish me luck!" Inuyasha said. "Good luck!" the others chorused. Rolling his eyes, Inuyasha picked up Kagome's body and walked out of the hut.
A few minutes later, Inuyasha came back in, and before they could ask, Inuyasha said "Her family is on vacation at some place called Osaka. They'll be back in a month." "Well, at least that buys us some time." Shippou said. "Yeah, I guess..." Inuyasha looked up at the night sky. 'I'm sorry, Kagome...' Inuyasha thought.
A/N: Well, there you go. No cliffhanger! Happy? And calm down, Kagome will be back, I promise. I know some of you didn't want me to kill Kikyou in the story, but since Kagome will be kept alive in the story, a few of my friends told me that at least someone should die, so I killed Kikyou off. You can't blame me, because they asked first, and I got no emails suggesting ideas for my story, nor did I get any reviews, so you only have yourselves to blame. Oh gosh, I'm sounding like my mom now. Anyway, see ya! And REVIEW!!!!
