A/N: First I would really like to thank you guys for reviewing my fic. I didn't expect people to like it so much and well since you do, I've formulated the whole plot in my mind. I had it all planned out before I started, but since you like it I intend to add more to it. If all goes according to plan, the chapters are roughly 650 words apiece, except for 5 but that was needed, there should be around 12 or 13 chapters and I am still unsure of how to end it. If I do end it as I plan to, there will be a sequel, so bare with me please and I hope I don't disappoint any of you out there! Thanks again! As promised it is Friday evening so here's the rest! (Let's just hope gets it up tonight)

Love's Labour Lost Chapter 6
Last Chapter:
As Sesshomaru nimbly dodged the blast the horrific scream of a female's voice was heard echoing through the air.
The scream echoed through everyone's mind as they all turned to find its source. Rin and Shippo lay motionless behind Ah-Un and Jaken's stunned form. The scream had been issued from Kagome's mouth as she tried to fight against the spell that Shippo had cast to save her life.
(Moments Earlier)
As Kagome helped Shippo onto Ah-Un and Rin took his hand to steady him, Shippo saw the blast coming at them from behind his 'mother' and using his quick instincts he conjured a stone statue (like the one from the first episode with him) and attached it to Kagome. As the statue fell to the ground it pulled Kagome down with it and out of harm's way
As Shippo's last breath left his body, the spell lifted and Kagome was able to pull herself up onto shaky knees, her face stained with the streams of tears and her spirit enraged over the death of her 'children'
Just as she was starting to calm down enough to be sane, a soul stealer approached Rin's still body and took her soul to Kikyo, who willing accepted another soul
"You cold-hearted, dead BITCH!" Kagome raged, grabbing her bow and notching an arrow.
"RELEASE RIN'S SOUL NOW!"
"Do you honestly think that you could take me?" Kikyo remarked with a smug attitude.
Shippo, Rin, I will save you somehow.
Just as Kagome prepared to release the arrow Sango let out a gasp and Kagome turned to see what it was.
Shippo's head shot up suddenly as he cowered beneath Sesshomaru's stare, with the Tenseiga still hover above his body.
"Thank you Sesshomaru-sama" Kagome barely managed out she was so choked up.
"Hahahahahaha! So the cold-hearted demon has a soft spot for children. No matter, your ward is still dead!" Kikyo laughed out at Sesshomaru's snarled
As her attention was drawn to Sesshomaru, an arrow came at her from her other side, with more power than she could have ever imagine and it shattered her left leg to pieces. As she lost her leg from the knee down she steadied herself on Naraku's Incarnation.
"Ha! Hollow clay, just as I expected" Kagome smirked "Release Rin NOW or prepare to return to HELL!"
As she prepared to destroy Kikyo, Inuyasha jumped in front of her to stop her.
"Kagome NO! This isn't who you are. What the hell has gotten into you?!"
As the realization of what she was doing sunk in, Kagome loosened her hold on her bow and dropped it to the ground. As soon as her defenses were down an arrow came flying over Inuyasha's arm and pierced Kagome in the chest.
As Kagome fell she managed out one last phrase "Save Rin, Sessho-maru".
Inuyasha just stared dumbfounded that Kagome's last word was Sesshomaru and that he had helped Kikyo kill Kagome, the woman he swore to protect and love killed the other woman he cared deeply for.
"Haha! Thank you very much Inuyasha for making that so much easier for me." As Kagome's soul shot towards Kikyo to rejoin the rest of her soul Kikyo cried out for joy "Now I am whole again and we can be togeth-"
Her sentence was cut short as Sango and Miroku had strapped Miroku's staff to Hirakotsu and sent the boomerang tearing through Naraku's incarnation. Just as the boomerang left the body Tokijin's attack tore through the rest of the demon destroying it completely as Sesshomaru's eyes began to turn red.
Kikyo was spared the attacks by her faithful soul stealers who carried her from the demon at the last instant and were now carrying her away from the battle.
"You will never escape from me!" Sesshomaru snarled as his whole body tensed with rage.
"Jaken! Bring follow me on Ah-Un" Sesshomaru ordered as he lifted both girls' bodies onto Ah-Un's back.
"Yes, Milord" Lord Sesshomaru has never looked so angry before, was it Rin's death or Kagome's that caused this new rage?
"Miroku, perhaps we should follow him" Sango said looking after Sesshomaru's retreating form. "He seems to care for Kagome's well being and maybe he can save her. Kikyo is a powerful priestess and who knows what could happen if he was hit with her purifying arrow. He is really angry, he could get sloppy"
"I concur Sango. Let's go!"
"Kirara!" Sango called as they both climbed onto the Neko's waiting form.
"I'm coming with you!" Shippo wailed.
"No Shippo, stay with Inuyasha and try to get him to come to his senses. When he is ready follow after us!" Miroku called as Kirara started after Ah-Un and Jaken.
Shippo scurried over to Inuyasha's hunched form to try to bring him to his senses.
A/N: Ok so originally the chapter was supposed to keep going, but that is where I ended during English class and it seemed to be a good stopping point. Please, PLEASE don't be mad! There is more to come and everything will be explained. Please review!
