Opening: The night between hatred and love, which will conquer?
Drive – Chapter 2
"This is our day, nobody elses'." She smiled leaning against him. "That Kagome." Kikyou laughed from her side of the car. "Crazy... Don't you think?" Inuyasha shook his head silently, his eyes never leaving the road. Kikyou paused, noticing Inuyasha was monotone since they had left the school. "What's on your mind?" "It just makes you think." "What?" Her eyes filled with curiousity. "Where, when, how..." Inuyasha made a sharp turn into a forest preserve. The tone of his voice worried Kikyou, before she could think of a possible explanation, the car came to a sudden stop.
"Inuyasha?" He didn't say a word. Inuyasha made his way out of the car, walking into the clearing. Kikyou quickly followed behind him, he stopping at the dead center of the field, she an arm's length away from Inuyasha. "It just makes you think." Inuyasha looked to Kikyou over a shoulder. "What does?" She bit the bottom of her lip. "When it'll happen, where we'll be, and how it'll happen..." He turned to Kikyou. "All I know is I want it to happen, and only to happen with you, 'it' is everything." Inuyasha down on one knee, her eyes widening to each and every one of his words.
"Will you mary me?" He held his body and soul towards Kikyou, the silver ring lined with fine diamonds.
"A proposal?"
"Yes, a proposal."
"Why?"
"You hate her, don't you?"
"Of course, I hate her!"
Naraku watched Kagome calmly from the corner of his eyes as she screamed to the sight of the couple in the near distance, Kagome pulling her fingers into fists. "What does Inuyasha see in her?" "What doesn't see in her?" Naraku cocked a brow, the appearance of his cabin matching the style of Naraku's own, cold and dark. "So naive." He narrowed his eyes towards her, Naraku turning his full body to Kagome's angry eyes. "Sacrifices."
She embraced him as if there was no tommorow and Kikyou had a one-way ticket to heaven. "You idiot, you know my awnser!" She spinning in the air by Inuyasha's hold. "Yes!" Kikyou awnsering him both externally and internally, with both her body and soul, Inuyasha wearing a smile bright as the rising moon, the ring glistening around Kikyou's finger.
"Five shots?"
"Clean and simple."
It was a night of opportunity as well as a night of risk, in spite of this, he, Inuyasha and his she, Kikyou definately made every moment one to remember. They first went to the movies, there were more chances than choices, if you would have asked one or the other what their favorite part of the movie was, they honestly couldn't tell you to the fact that they flirted and made out since the previews through the credits. Coming second was the town faie, contests, prizes, rides, everything a fesitival could offer. To the fact that it was growing late, the two found themselves at the hood of his car, she beside him. Kikyou rested against Inuyasha, he finding the sparkle in her eyes even more beautiful than what the sky from above had to offer. "I-" Kikyou moving closer to Inuyasha just as the words came to her lips.
The peaceful melody of the midnight winds was broken by a loud bang, as well as the windshield of the car. His body fell from the side of the car, Inuyasha's body sliding off of the smooth surface and onto the ground as he heard Kikyou screech. "Kikyou!" Inuyasha feeling a smooth warmth from above dripping and running down and over his eyes and face, Inuyasha slowly came back to a full stand, noticing that she that he called out for didn't make the smallest sound, and for what reason? Kikyou was shot down, in the dead center of her stomach, Inuyasha held back in awe and shock by the rain of her blood. "... Love you..." Kikyou cried, reaching towards him.
Closing: In the next chapter, all hell breaks loose, as well as the scarlet of newborn wounds.
