Changing Memories

Chapter 11- Sakura's attack

The wind picked up and the shimmering cloud descended from above to in front of them. Kagome's anxiety only grew. The sparkling cloud slowly took the form of a young girl. She smiled and stood in a sensual way.

"Hello Kagome. Long time no see. Fancy meeting you here, alive!" She said in a cheery voice, but that last bit dripped with anger and hate. "How is it that you are still alive?"

"Keh, why should we tell you?"

Sakura glanced at Inuyasha.

"I was not speaking to you half-breed." Sakura said with disgust.

Inuyasha growled in anger. "So, you're the one who killed Kagome. I am gonna make you wish you never come in contact with her!" He shouted and jumped in the air poised to strike. He slashed his claws at her, but she vanished!

"Ha, ha, ha! You can't touch me." Sakura giggled.

"Huh, is that so? Do you wanna make a bet on that?"

"A bet? Interesting. Alright. If you kit me what would you like?"

Inuyasha was about to speak, but Kagome beat him to it.

"You could tell us who your master is."

"Huh?" Inuyasha was confused.

"You remember that, huh?"

Kagome grabbed the sides of her head and had a terrified look on her face. "Yes, of course, how could I not? That night was awful. It still seems so real, yet not. It was like a nightmare that haunts me to no end!" Kagome whimpered. Sakura just smirked.

"Deal. But if I win, well, you die." Sakura launched at Inuyasha as soon as she stopped talking. Inuyasha unsheathed Tetsusiaga. He swung at her, but she vanished again.

"Too slow." Sakura struck Inuyasha from behind with a small sword. It created a long slash across his back. Inuyasha winced.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed.

Inuyasha stood there gritting his teeth against the pain. The Tetsusiaga was in his hand, the blade resting on the ground. He closed his eyes and tuned his ears in to his surroundings. His ears swiveled to the right when he heard the light patter of feet. He followed the movements with his ears. He stood still, only his ears atop his head moved. The feet rushed foreword in his direction and he snapped open his eyes, pulling the Tetsusiaga up in a slash at the same time. Sakura stopped in her tracks and stood still holding her breath. A cut straight across her chest appeared. It started at her left shoulder and ended at her right hip. She fell to the ground in two pieces.

"Now, tell me Sakura. Who is your master?"

Sakura gasped and coughed. "Heh, never…would've……thought……you would……win…" she paused. Her eyes began to glaze over as death took her in its grasp. "Kige." She whispered before she fell into an eternal sleep. Her body turned into the shimmering cloud and slowly dispersed.

"Keh, that's the end of that." Inuyasha said while sheathing Tetsusiaga.

"Kige?" Kagome questioned. "Who's that?"

"I dunno, never heard of him. I do know that this is not over until we find him though."

"Yeah." Kagome sighed and sat at the base of the Goshin boku. Inuyasha walked over and sat next to Kagome.

"Hey, Inuyasha?"

"Yeah?"

"If I died, how come I'm here now?" Inuyasha stiffened. "I mean, what happened?" Inuyasha sighed.

"Kagome. After you died, I ……I killed myself." Kagome's eyes widened. "My soul moved on to the next world, but they said I was not supposed to die." The explanation went on. At the end, Kagome had her hands covering her mouth and tears in her eyes.

"But why? Why would you do that?" Kagome asked a bit muffled. Inuyasha looked into her eyes.

"Because…" He sighed. "Because…..I…"

"Hey, Kagome!" Someone yelled from a distance. The wind picked up and a tornado blew toward her and came to a stop right in front of her to reveal Koga.

"Koga!"

"Hey!" Koga greeted and grabbed Kagome's hands in his as he kneeled on the ground. "Don't worry Kagome I won't leave you with this stupid mutt much longer. He has been treating you well?" He looked her over.

Kagome sighed. "Yes, Koga." She pulled her hands out of his sharply and winced. Her hand went across her abdomen. She tried to hide it from Koga, but it was too late. Inuyasha noticed it too. He pushed himself up off the ground with a wince of his own. He made his way over to her and laid a hand on her shoulder. She looked at him.

"Hey, you OK?" She nodded, but didn't move her arm.

"Hey, what's going on? Heh, got yourself hurt again, eh mutt face?"

Inuyasha growled. "Shut up!"

"How are you going to take care of MY Kagome like that!"

Inuyasha growled and attacked Koga.

'How dare he say Kagome is HIS! Kagome is MINE!' Koga dodged and smirked.

"So you wanna fight? Fine with me, but it's your funeral!" He shouted and ran to attack Inuyasha.

"Keh, I believe that was my line."

"Stop it you two!" Kagome yelled. She walked in between them and pushed them apart by placing a hand on both their chests. By stretching both arms out straight to the side she stretched her stomach. She winced. She had just re-opened her wound, she could feel it. It re-opened when she quickly threw her hands out and the impact of them hitting her hands jarred her wound. She winced.

"Will you two give it a rest?" She looked to Inuyasha. "You shouldn't fight now. Look you re-opened your wound. Now we need to change your bandages." Inuyasha looked at Kagome. He paused.

'I smell blood. It's Kagome's.' He took a quick glance at her stomach. A little blood was seeping through her shirt. Inuyasha nodded. "Fine." He stepped back and Kagome put her arms down. Inuyasha put his hand on her shoulder and was about to lead her back to the village.

"Kagome!" Koga yelled and pulled her away from Inuyasha. "You're bleeding! What happened?" Kagome was speechless. Koga turned to Inuyasha. "What did you do mutt! Why is my Kagome hurt! Can't you protect her!"

Inuyasha silently fumed.
