Hello everyone. I am so sorry for leaving you all with that cliffie for so
long. I've been packed down with homework and it's really sucked. But now
I'm on Spring Break, so I should be able to update a little more often.
Once again, I am really sorry, so without further delay, here's the next
chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Winter's Night: Chapter 12
~ Inuyasha's POV ~
I watched Kagome run off, disappearing into a swirl of snow that was beginning to fall once again. I looked around with my eyes, seeing if anything was near. There was nothing except for the motionless body of the asshole that attacked us. Damnit, why did that asshole have to attack on the one night I'm human? Do I really that much bad luck?
No, I don't have that much bad luck. If I did then I wouldn't have Kagome. Someone so perfect and beautiful would've never become my mate if I had had a lot of bad luck. She's the one good thing that has happened in my life. The one and only.
But didn't I think that Kikyo was the best thing in my life before? I did, but I foolish. I had found someone that was in a similar situation that I was in, mind you she wasn't hated by both humans and demons, she wasn't an orphan, her sibling didn't want to rid the land of her being, she had a home, and she had people who cared about her.
Now that I think of it, we weren't in the same situation. She had it a lot better off than I did. Damn, I was a fucking idiot. Geez, maybe I should've thanked Naraku for making me and her betray each other. It was probably the best thing that could've happened because if it hadn't, then I wouldn't have met Kagome.
I was brought out of my thoughts by a sound to my left. I turned my head slightly, my eyes widening. That asshole was getting up! Shit, Shit, Shit! I used my arms and pushed myself into a sitting position, ignoring the pain that was bringing water to my eyes. I would not let myself become easy prey for this psychopathic human. I slowly got into a crouching position, my body burning with pain of my wounds, blood dripping out of me to the already tainted snow beneath me.
I looked over at the human, Hojo was it? I glared as I watched him rise to his feet, holding his head and stumbling back a few steps. I willed myself to stand, grasping the metal pole thing that was near me for support. I was panting heavily from my effort to rise, and my vision was becoming blurred. I rubbed my one eye to get rid of the haziness, when I heard a low chuckle. I lowered my hand to see Hojo at full height, his eyes wide, a grin plastered on his face.
"You're not dead yet, that's good. It means I can mess with you a little more, make you suffer a slow painful death. I'll make you feel the pain that I felt when you took Kagome away from me." I heard him threaten.
"She... was never yours to begin with bastard." I growled out, though it sounded weak and hoarse. He narrowed his eyes, a cold look casting over his face.
"DIE!" he yelled and charged at me. My eyes widened at his sudden speed and I pushed against the pole to get myself out of the way. I stumbled, somehow maintaining my balance, only to see him come at me again. I felt a sharp pain dig into my side, and hissed, stumbling back away from him. I put a hand to my side and felt the blood leak out of my new wound.
"Not so quick now are you?" I heard him laugh.
I'm losing too much blood... this isn't good. I saw him charge again, but I couldn't move. I felt is knee collide with my stomach, and his fist connect with my throat. I fell back against the cold ground, sliding backwards until my back hit a tree. I watched him as he slowly walked towards me, my vision covered with a haze that wouldn't go away. I willed my body to move, to do anything, but it wouldn't.
So this is it? I die here, in a different era, as a human, by a human. Kind of ironic isn't it? Me, a proud tough hanyou that won countless battles against demons who were stronger than me and survived on my own from age 5, was now going to be killed by a weaker being who just so happened to get lucky and find me human. But why should I fight it? There's nothing I can do... I can't even move. I felt his hand wrap around my neck, lifting me up against the tree. Time was up, game over...
Then an image flashed in my mind. Kagome was kneeling on the ground, surrounded by all our friends. Sango was being held by Miroku, silently crying while the monk comforted her, Kirara rubbing against their feet. Shippo was at Kagome's side, hugging her as best he could. Tears poured down the young kit's face, but he made no sound nor move to wipe them away. Then there was Kagome. She had her face buried in her hands, sobbing hysterically. She was kneeling before a rock and flowers laid out on the ground, her tears falling to the fresh soil below. She pulled her hands away and stared at the rock. Her eyes were red from crying, her face pale, creeks stained by her tears. Her lips moved and I heard her whisper faintly. 'Inuyasha....'
My eyes opened wide as the vision faded. I can't die, Kagome needs me. I can't let her feel that kind of pain.
"Go to Hell!" I heard Hojo yell as he raised the bloodied knife to my throat.
"You first asshole!" I spit in his face, and kneed him in the groin. He left go of me, and I hit the ground hard, my head getting knocked back against the tree. I watched with blurred vision and he stumbled backwards a ways, obviously in pain. Suddenly I saw other blurred figures surround him aiming weapons similar to what he had used on me, at him.
"Freeze!" I heard one yell. I watched as Hojo collapsed against the ground, and hold up his arms. The figures moved in on him as he surrendered. I felt my body go numb with pain, my vision becoming dark around the edges. I saw some figures running towards me and smiled slightly.
"Kagome..." I whispered as I fell sideways to the ground. My eyes closed the blackness completely taking me. The last thing I heard was my name being called by the one I love.
