CHAPTER 4:
A WHOLE GREAT LOSS, AND PAIN ADDED TO IT
A/N: Title says it all. In this story, there will be a great loss and PAIN! Well, hope you like this story.
Kikyo woke up. She rubbed her eyes. Suddenly, she noticed her Inuyasha was gone! "Inuyasha! INUYASHA!" Kikyo searched and searched but he was no where to be seen. Suddenly, she heard a loud bashing.
"INUYASHA! HURRY UP!"
"KAGOME! G-GO AWAY!"
"Inuyasha?" Kikyo peeked her head through a bush.
"ACKS!
K-KIKYO!"
"Who's this!" she said, pointing to Kagome, a
girl.
"I'm Kagome! And you are-"
"KIKYO! She's Kikyo."
Kikyo glared at Kagome. What was she doing with Inuyasha! Suddenly it hit Kikyo. She was jealous. Kikyo stormed off.
"KIKYO!" Inuyasha ran to Kikyo.
"WAIT! INUYASHA! REMEMBER!"
Inuyasha stressed his eyes. "…uh…" he grabbed Kikyo and embraced her. "KIKYO!"
Kikyo looked away. Then she sighed and said, "Inuyasha…what were you doing! You worried me!"
"Gomen…gomen…Kikyo." He was acting weird this morning.
"We should head back."
Inuyasha nodded. "Y-Yeah…"
Kikyo's thoughts were on that woman this morning. Who was that! Inuyasha's…girl? I mean…maybe…how did he learn how to kiss so good, not that I ever kissed someone…but- er! So stressing! Before she knew it, they were at the village. Villagers hissed at Inuyasha but when they saw Kikyo with him, they gasped.
"What is that monstrous monster doing with KIKYO!"
"I knew it! She's welcoming a youkai to the village to kill us all!" woman yelled.
Kikyo ignored it and led Inuyasha to a small shrine. "Stay outside. I'm trusting you."
Inuyasha nodded. A few minutes later, she came out again. "Please…stay here." She said. Then she went off in a direction. Inuyasha gave her a weird look. What is she doing? Suddenly, his eyes drifted to the shrine. Kikyo's not here…and…I have to do it… he slowly and cautiously went inside the shrine. Then Inuyasha's eyes perked up. There, in the middle, was a gleaming shimmering purplish pink stone. "It's beautiful. That must be the shikon no tama. I have to get it or…" he stressed on that idea. Then, reluctantly, he grabbed the jewel and quickly went outside. Maybe I can make a clean getaway! As he stepped foot outside the shrine and we took a few steps to the direction of the forest, he heard a yell.
"INUYASHA!"
Inuyasha slowly turned his head back. Kikyo… Her eyes were in pain and inside, Inuyasha knew she was hurting. She trusted him not to go inside because she knew that the jewel was inside there and she trusted him not to take it.
"I will kill you if you do not hand it back."
Inuyasha didn't budge. Kikyo raised her bow and arrow. For the first time in his life, Inuyasha was VERY scared. Kikyo was said to kill many youkais for the sake of the jewel and she did not hesitate. It was a 85 percent chance that she would strike him and take the jewel, even if they shared a kiss last night.
Tears streamed down Kikyo's face. "It is true then…hanyou or youkai…THEY ARE THE SAME! They only care for power…and power only." She aimed at Inuyasha's chest.
Inuyasha's heart beat fast. Then, his hair covered his eyes. "Kikyo…I know you're hurting…but…let me go. I know you hate protecting this thing…and I really need the jewel."
"NO! YOU WILL BECOME A YOUKAI WITH IT AND JUST KILL! I MUSTN'T ALLOW YOU!" She was about to let go but then she remembered last night. Kikyo dropped the bow and arrow. "Damn you! I hate you…for deceiving me! DAMN YOU!"
Inuyasha walked away. "Kikyo… I didn't mean to deceive you…gomenasai." Then he went away, leaving the poor miko on the ground.
"Inu…yasha…how could you! You chose…the shikon no tama…over…me…" Kikyo wiped her eyes. Then, she knew that she had to tell sensei this, so she headed to the temple.
"Kikyo. Your back."
Kikyo nodded but she fell at his feet. "SENSEI! I'M SUCH AN IDIOT! I-I FELL FOR…THAT HANYOU'S TRICK. HE-HE STOLE THE SHIKON NO TAMA!"
Sensei widened his eyes. He raised his voice against her. "KIKYO! HOW DARE YOU!" he rose up his hand, about to slap her but he saw her sobbing face. Kikyo...she really liked that hanyou…and he betrayed her. Sensei sighed. "Kikyo…you've been through enough. I will not punish you but…please. You must get the shikon no tama back…or great havoc will come to this world!" he softened his voice.
Kikyo nodded and quickly ran out so Tsubaki didn't have time to hear of this. She narrowed her eyes at the horizon. I vow that I will get the shikon no tama back…and kill that deceiving hanyou!
A/N: So, maybe this chapter wasn't so sad and so tragic…but. I didn't want to make is SO tragic like Inuyasha killing Kaede…or the whole village…or- well. You'll learn why Inuyasha took it in future…maybe next two chapters or something. Well, see ya in the next chapter! This chapter was kinda short huh?
