Bloody Lies
Multi-Part InuyashaKagome FanFiction
Part IV - Nobody
He sat upright in the tree. His eyes shifted rapidly under heavy eyelids. He sat there in paralyzing shock, he had done it . . . he had killed her, Kagome. Why did he have to be so stupid? He truely thought if he let her do that, it wouldn't happen!
Just like she said it wouldn't. She had never had a reason to lie to him before. Of course they weren't on the best of terms at the moment, but she needed him to do that. She wouldn't back out on him now! Not if she really wanted to regain her life . . .
Oh Gods! What an idiot he was!
And then, Inuyasha's eyes snapped open. A flash of red entered his golden orbs, but left as quickly as it had appeared. Did that mean . . . it was all only a dream? He carefully peered down from his perch in the old oak tree in which he took rest in for night, and looked down at the camp, for Kagome.
He didn't see her . . . panic washed over him, he looked at his claws. There wasn't any blood on them.
He caught a wiff of her scent, stawberries and sleep, and there she was! At the foot of his tree, on the other side. Any panic left his body immeadiatly. What a relief it was to know she was alright. But that dream, it was so real! So life-like. He could still smell her blood on his claws, even though it was only a figment of his imagination. A dream that was in the past now.
He could still see her milky skin being punctured by his fangs, his claws ripping at the air, eyes blood red in the
night . . . What was happening to him?
And again he breathed in the comforting night air, and any comfort that peaceful night had left behind, was quickly dissapearing. Why? Because now She was coming. That was right, she hadn't done it yet that night . . . would she be mad because he didn't find her?Oh- but how tired he had been! He had felt weak, and barely was able to jump into this tree without showing how weakened he was to Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Kirara, and Kagome. Especially Kagome . . . he was doing this mostly for her sake. He couldn't bare it if he really did . . . the unthinkable.
What?! Him, Inuyasha, care about Kagome? You'd have to be stupid to think that! No, He told himself firmly, There is aboslutely no way I'd want . . . to be with a wench like that! Besides, you tried this 'love' thing once, Inuyasha! You see how that turned out? You don't need to go through that again . . .
And indeed he did not! He had only just gotten over . . . Her
And speak of the devil! The undead miko herself was standing there infront of him on the ground, beckoning him to follow her into the forest in which they had taken refuge for the night. He jumped out of the tree, quickly as to lead Kikyo away from the group, before anyone saw or heard her with him.
They didn't need to know what was going on, not yet. And anyways, he didn't want- I mean need -Kagome running off to her own era again. They had believed him when he said he was through with Kikyo, but he didn't tell them he still saw her, every night.
No! No, not like lovers planning to elope. More like new, yet old, found enemies getting each others help to survive properly in this cold world they called home.
He immediatly took stride infront of the all-mightly miko, and lead her quickly away from the slumbering group. Her soul stealing companions, or 'Soul Suckers', as the kit called them, circled around them restlessly in the night. Stupid things never did stay still for long, Inuyasha noted with slight annoyance.
He lead them past a few dozen trees of brown and green, and into a small, five foot radius, clearing.
He plopped down onto the green grass, and glared up at Kikyo. The miko followed his movements, yet so much more gracefully, like if she slipped, she would shatter into a million pieces. Inuyasha wondered about this fact . . . I mean she was a clay pot, literally. Ah yes, but he had once been in love with the 'clay pot'. What difference did that make though?
"Inuyasha," She aknowlegded him curtly, "I take it you have not told your friends about . . . this?"
"Kikyo," He returned her icey greeting with the same feel, "What do you think?"
She gazed at him intently, looking into his golden orbs thoughtfully, "I think you are scared for their reactions, possibly afraid of being shunned again, am I not right, Inuyasha?"
"Feh!"
She smiled coldly, "I thought so. However, there is a more pressing matter tonight than your crazy little fearings. You did not come to me an hour after sunset, like we agreed. Why did you not meet me, Inuyasha? I thought we had a deal."
She spoke slowly, like he was impared. He wasn't stupid! Why did everyone think that?
"As you might not know, Kikyo, we encountered a very angry youkai couple today," He told her coldly, "we of course had to kill them off . . . And of course you know what blood-loss does to a person. Weakens them, unfortunatly."
She gave him a wry smile, "Yes. Well, since you are here, get prepared to earn more weariness, for you are about to lose even more blood tonight. For your tardiness, and for your usual rudeness. How does that suit you?"
Inuyasha glared at her something fierce, "And what choice do I have? You need this, and so do I. I suggest you, bitch, if you're going to do anything, you might want to do it now."
"Very well, Inuyasha." Kikyo sighed, "You always were an impatient one. She reached a hand inside her traditional priestess outfit, and pulled out a knife, metal a gleaming in all it's silent glory.
She held it out in the moonlight that threaded itself inbetween the leaves and branches of the trees around them. The knife reflected its pale, silvery, light towards Inuyasha. The moon's light's reflection hit him right on the cheek.
"There, that's where we'll do it tonight. You're going to have to tell your friend sooner or later." She smirked.
"Besides," She continued, "Friends don't shun friends do they, Inuyasha? You know that feeling well I believe. So- They most certainly would not turn on you! If they do . . . then you'd have no one left, would you? I understand you have brother-"
"Half brother!" Inuyasha interrupted rudely.
I didn't matter is she called Sesshomaru his real, all the way through brother . . . That didn't get at him as much as . . . being . . . alone did.
What?! No . . . No! There was no way he would be afraid of loneliness!
"Yes, half brother," Kikyo glared at him intently . . . Kami could her eyes intrude your thoughts!
"I have heard you do not respect him like you should . . . him being your elder by a few hundred years. Therefor, you will not have him either. Your human mother is long dead, and your father gone protecting her!" She clucked her tounge with obvious distain, "Oh my, Inuyasha! What a pitiful excuse of a family you come from!"
"No one asked you, bitch. Keep your comments to yourself." He sneered back a her without hesitation.
She glanced at him sideways, then turned her gaze to the blade. Without hesitation, she took a step towards the fuming hanyou infront of her.
"Yes indeed, Inuyasha. Ever taken your own advice before?"
What a fucking bitch! Didn't she know the line between stopping it, and too much? Who was she to think she could insult his parentage like that? In what posistion was she to turn her nose up at him! And to think he once called her his love . . . ?
Well, that was more than a month ago to him now, Inuyasha decided! No way could he had ever been with someone who called his mother pitiful, his father a disgrace?! So she was a priestess? So what! He was the second heir in line to the throne in the Western Lands! He was prince of all dog demons, anything related to a dog, he had power over them! Kouga just wasn't smart enough to know that . . .
Kikyo had stopped right infront of him . . . blade in posistion to strike his cheek.
But Inuyasha was quicker!
In five seconds he was behind her, holding the knife to her throat, pinning her arms down with strength enough to snap a medium sized tree in two, if he wanted too. Her stance was stiff, her movements frozen. Was that the smallest bit of fear radiating off her body? Though her posistion was tense, her breathing was not laboured. It was calm, almost mocking.
"Predictable . . . " She frowned slightly and struggled to get free. "Let me go!" She demanded.
"What makes you think I'd do that?" Inuyasha murmered into her ear, "You just called me scum, I'm not going easy on you, Kikyo."
He spat out her name, like it burnt his lips to form the rough Kik of her name, like the yo bit at his mouth.
She closed her eyes momentairly, and whispered something inaduiable even to Inuyasha own sensitive ears.
The knife dissapeared from his grasp, it reappeared in hers, she slit his wrist roughly, but it was done. The blood contacted with her body . . .
And was gone! Inuyasha let go of her with reflex, that little bitch!
Kikyo closed her eyes again, momentarily. Then her dark eyes snapped open again. She frowned.
"That was not youkai blood . . . " She murmered, "Twas human."
"Well, Kikyo . . . my blood is half and half."
Her eyes flashed, "So I noticed. You did me no use tonight, Inuyasha." She replaced the knife where she found it, "But I'll be back."
She walked away from the clearing, her Soul Suckers following her all the way out. Inuyasha grumbled something not nice for childrens ears, and turned to exit the clearing.
And there he stood, face-to-face with . .
.
Oh shit! He thought.
Kagome . . .
The proposition of being alone became suddenly more of a immense thing.

Next Chapter Clip:
"I was not going to kiss her, you wench!"
Kagome glared at him, eyes full of doubt and distrust.
"Then what the hell are you doing with her?!" She shouted at him with intense anger. The normal sweet Kagome had just curse, at him!
Inuyasha opened his mouth, then closed it. How could he tell Kagome, without yelling at him again? There was no way . . . So silently, ears a-droop, he yanking off his horai tops, and Kagome took a step back.
"What the hell are you doing to yourself?" She asked him once more.
