Chapter Four : Perfect By Nature
------------------------------
Kagome stormed through the forest, branches tearing at her bare legs and face. How could he? How COULD he? The youkai growled in a displeased manner.
Mates hurt.
Yeah, mate's hurt.
Got cut.
In more ways than one, youkai-boy, in more ways than one.
Kagome's emotions were flaring more than usual thanks to the youkai. She was seething with anger and flames seemed to engulf her aura. Bastard... going to... to HER... and then LYING! It wouldn't be half as bad if he hadn't lied!
Let me out and I'll help you vent out all this anger.
No, I won't risk you escaping, not even for my own pleasure.
The youkai growled. It was time for this to stop! He was sick of being the submissive!
LET... ME... OUT! With a howl shared by both Kagome and the youkai, he forced himself into control of her body. "Finally..." the youkai smirked dangerously, "Time to visit my hanyou friend and that claypot... she should be around here somewhere."
------------------------------
Inuyasha sat at the base of Goshinboku and around the other side behind him was Kikyou. They sat in a stony silence, and yet the silence said it all.
"The youkai is mad at me." Inuyasha stated quietly. He had told Kikyou about the whole Kagome thing earlier.
"And he has control of the girls body?"
"Yes,"
"Well, sounds to me like you're up the river there Inuyasha."
"My, don't you two make a pretty picture."
Inuyasha looked up and locked gazes with Kagome, who seemed to be in control of her body. Oh, how wrong he was. In truth the youkai was right beneath the surface just waiting to attack.
Perfect by nature,
Icons of self indulgence,
Just what we all need...
More lies about a world that
Never was and never will be,
Have you no shame, don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled
We're going to make them pay, oh yes... revenge is a sweet thing.
NO! PLEASE! DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS!
Shut up already! I'm giving you exactly what you want...
No! This isn't what I want...!
Kagome walked smoothly over to one of the large, uprooted branches and sat down on it, giving a large stretch.
"A-Are you okay, Kagome?" Inuyasha asked carefully, only vaguely aware that Kikyou was still there.
"Of course, just came to be in the presence of the mighty Kikyou... after all, you two ARE mates, right?"
"No," came Kikyou's flat reply, "we are far from that."
Kagome scoffed, "Uh huh, sure."
Kikyou stood and made her way over to Kagome, her cold mask covering up any emotions.
Look, here she comes now!
Bow down and stare in wonder...
Oh, how we love you!
No flaws when you're pretending.
But now I know she
Never was and never will be,
You don't know how you've betrayed me,
and somehow you've got everybody fooled...
Kagome abandoned her root-seat and stood infront of Kikyou. Glancing over at Inuyasha as the Miko passed her, one minute her once chocolate brown eyes were normal, the next flaming red-crimson, and then back to brown in the blink of an eye. In a flash Kagome had whipped around and grabbed Kikyou by the neck, fingers digging into her throat and cutting off her air. Kikyou's mask immediately fell and her eyes were wide in terror.
"KAGOME! NO!" Inuyasha cried, rushing forwards and attempting to pull the young miko away from her past self.
Kagome's eyes were red again, "Get off me, hanyou, it must be done! This... female," the youkai stressed the word like it was the most disgusting thing he had even spoken, "has upset your mate! You can't feel what she feels right now like I can, Inuyasha. Can you hear your mate screaming? Can you hear her crying?" The youkai tightened its grip on Kikyou's throat until it shattered into dried bits of clay. Her soul-snatchers flew above, but it was too late. Kikyou was dead, and the souls were rocketing out in all sorts of different directions. At the same time the rest of Kagome's soul rejoined her, and the youkai froze in panic before taking a struggling breath. "W-Wh-What?!"
Without the mask, where will you hide?
Can't find yourself...
Lost in your lie!
"Kagome...?"
Kagome's body gave a violent shudder as the youkai began to howl in pain. "The body! It's refusing me! Too... much... lig- AGH!" A convulsion siezed her body, and just as soon as it came it was gone and Kagome was back, breathing heavily and clutching at her heart.
I know the truth now! I know who you are!
And I don't love you anymore...
It never was and never will be,
You don't know how you've betrayed me,
and somehow you've got everybody fooled
"Go...Go... Gomen ne, Inuyasha," Kagome finally breathed, closing her eyes and trying to regain control of her body which was occasionally going into a small spasm.
"What?"
"Gomen ne, Inuyasha!" she repeated louder, as if she was trying to force something away, "I killed her... Inuyasha, I killed your koishii! I've betrayed you, Inuyasha! I had promised myself that I would never intentionally hurt Kikyou because she meant so much to you and and and... I killed her! I killed a part of you!"
Inuyasha dropped down onto his knees and looked at Kagome, who had fallen when she first regained control of herself and had been on her hands and knees. Grabbing her wrist, he pulled her to him in a crushing hug. "Kagome, that part of me had already died and been replaced with you. You didn't kill her, she was already dead." he murmured into the sobbing girls ear as she clung to him. "It's gonna be okay, Kagome, I promise... It's gonna be okay..."
It never was and never will be,
You're not real and you can't save me,
Somehow now you're everybody's fool
