"Alive... But... she's... dead..."
Kagome looked rather puzzled, but Sango looked at Kikyou. "Alive again... That doesn't make sense... Unless...Uruse cursed her with life..."
Kikyou nodded slowly. "She did. All I want is to be with Inuyasha, why can't you just understand that?" Everyone stood shocked for a second, watching Kagome and Inuyasha.
Inuyasha blushed slightly, while Kagome looked sad. "Is this how you always wanted it to be Inuyasha? Was I just there because I reminded you of Kikyou?"
Inuyasha looked toward Kikyou, then toward Kagome. "No Kagome... it's just..." Inuyasha trailed off, not really knowing how to go on. He really liked Kagome, but he couldn't just leave Kikyou... She had given her life for him. That was something that shouldn't be forgotten so easily. It was different when she was dead, but now he didn't know what he should do. Looking at Kagome gave him memories of the past few months, happy memories. Without Kagome he would be the insecure half-demon he had been after Kikyou's betrayal. He owed a lot to Kagome and just leaving her was something he couldn't bring himself to do. But that meant he would have to leave Kikyou... So he just stood there, undecided. Sango, Miroku and Shippou were all staring at him, along with Kagome and Kikyou. The pressure was about to make his head explode. He couldn't help it. His eyes began to flash red. At first, everyone didn't understand what was going on. Finally Kagome noticed. "Inuyasha... He's turning demon!"
Kikyou's eyes widened in shock. "Inuyasha... come out of it..." She said, placing a hand on his face.
Sango and Miroku joined in. "Inuyasha, stop!"
"Please Inuyasha!"
It was too late. Inuyasha went into full demon mode. He gave a bone chilling laugh, and lunged at Kikyou. She leaped away, and ran towards Kagome. "Kagome, Run! Save yourself..."
Kikyou tripped, and Kagome stood there looking shocked. "Inuyasha... what... are you doing?" Inuyasha cackled again, and advanced toward Kikyou, showing his claws.
Kikyou jumped to her feet quickly, and ran toward Kagome again. "Save... yourself..." This time she didn't trip, but shoved Kagome out of the way of Inuyasha, who was still coming at them. Miroku and Sango looked on helplessly, not wanting to hurt their friends. Kagome was shocked and not expecting Kikyou's shove. She flew into a tree and hit it hard. "Kagome!" Shippou shouted, and rushed to her aid. "Kagome, are you ok?"
Kagome sat still, a trickle of blood going down her forehead. Miroku and Sango rushed to her side, Kikyou stood in the back looking nervously toward Inuyasha. "Kagome... Miroku... you should protect her from Inuyasha... I really have to go."
Miroku looked up at her. "Hey, you can't just leave us here! You helped us get into this mess, now you better help us out..."
Kikyou sighed, and looked kind of sad. "I... don't think I can stop him. The best things for us to do are run away and wait until he comes out of it..." Sango shook her head. "No, he could hurt someone or even kill someone. He could never forgive himself if he were to come out of it..."
Kikyou looked thoughtful. This was not how Inuyasha used to be. It must be that girl's influence on him. He must really care for her, she thought, sighing. Maybe it would be for the best if she were to stay out of it for good... Kikyou frowned, saddened by the thought, but if Inuyasha only wanted to be around her because he felt guilty about her death it wasn't a good thing. Maybe... they could get to know each other again... She sighed again, and then turned toward Miroku, Sango and the unconscious Kagome. "Go, I'll distract him." Miroku frowned. "Lady Kikyou, that would leave you in great danger, and if Inuyasha killed you..."
Kagome moaned, and Sango turned back to her. "Kagome, can you stand?" Kagome moaned again. "Uhh... I think so..."
"Then you better stand quickly, Inuyasha's coming..." Miroku urged, lifting Kagome instead of waiting for her stand herself.
