Chapter 7

Inuyasha was led to where Kikyo and Kagome where in the woods. He saw Kagome laying there passed out and Kikyo with an arrow with blood on it. Inuyasha ran and pushed Kikyo away. Inuyasha saw that Kagome was lying in her own pool of blood. He also saw all the stabbed places in her and the slits on her face. Inuyasha held Kagome close to his chest and there was a tear in his eye. Tears from Inuyasha's eyes ran down his cheeks and onto Kagome's bloody face. Inuyasha hugged Kagome tighter for he feared she was going to die. Kikyo saw Inuyasha hugging Kagome and it drove her crazy.

"Inuyasha!" Kikyo yelled.

Inuyasha didn't move or respond. All he cared about was Kagome right now.

"How could you Kikyo? How could you do this to Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.

"She was in the reason we aren't together. I tried to get you to come with me and live together in hell" Kikyo exclaimed.

"I hate you" Inuyasha mumbled.

"What?" Kikyo was surprised.

"You heard me. I hate you!" Inuyasha got up.

Inuyasha pulled out his sword and pointed it at Kikyo. Kikyo backed up and threw the arrow aside. Kagome woke up but was pretty dizzy. She saw Inuyasha and Kikyo. Kagome also saw that Inuyasha had his Tetsusaiga out.

"Kikyo you hurt Kagome for the last time. I'm sorry Kikyo you're not the same person that I fell in love with. Kikyo…Wind Scar!" Inuyasha said good-bye.

The Tetsusaiga had killed Kikyo and now she can die in peace. Inuyasha just stood there and then put his sword into its shift. Inuyasha turned to Kagome and saw that she just witnessed his decision. The hanyou walked over to the bloody girl. He then gently picked her up bridal style and headed towards Kaede's village.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome said but passed out again.

"Kagome I'm sorry Kikyo hurt you. Now she won't. I killed her and she won't be able to keep harassing you" Inuyasha hurried to Kaede's village.

Once they reached the village, Sango spotted them in the distance. Sango was all cheery until she saw Kagome's appearance.

"Kagome…Inuyasha what the hell happened to her?" Sango was surprised.

"Kikyo" Inuyasha only said.

"Kikyo? Did she do this? Where's the hell is she?" Sango wanted revenge for her friend.

"Dead" Inuyasha only said again as he walked towards Kaede's hut.

Sango stopped and just starred at Inuyasha. She couldn't believe what she just heard.

"Dead. Did Inuyasha kill her? Does he even have the guts to kill the woman he once loved fifty years ago?" Sango was deep in thought for a minute or two.

Sango followed them to Kaede's hut. Once they went inside the hut Miroku, Shippou, and Kaede were stunned to see Inuyasha and Kagome together.

"Hello Inuyasha" Miroku said.

Inuyasha didn't say anything but just stand there. Then they understood when blood dripped down from Kagome. Kaede rushed over and helped Inuyasha set her down on the bed. Miroku quickly ran outside to get some medical herbs. Outside was Kagome bike and it held inside its basket Kagome's first aid kit. Inuyasha got and opened it up. He took out some bandage raps and helped Kaede seal up her deep wounds. Shippou grabbed the band aids and put them on the slits on Kagome's face. When Shippou touched Kagome's face she was cold. Kagome was close to death and Inuyasha knew she was. Sango got some water from the river and got Kagome to drink it with some medical herbs mixed into it.

"Kaede is she going to be okay?" Shippou's eyes began to water.

"I'm not sure. The medicine should help her heal. At this rate she should come through. Inuyasha what happened? Did Kikyo do this to Kagome?" Kaede feared for her sister was responsible.

"Yes Kikyo did this to her. She got a hold of Kagome this morning while we were battling a demon" Inuyasha explained.

"Where is my sister now Inuyasha?" Kaede wondered.

"Dead" Inuyasha looked down.

"My sister is dead again. Why" the old woman asked.

"I had no choice but to kill her" Inuyasha admitted.

Kaede knew he didn't want to do it but he had to do it to save Kagome. She knew the woman who was resurrected wasn't the real Kikyo. So Kaede wasn't mad at Inuyasha.

"I understand what you had to do" Kaede said.

Kagome woke up and the first thing she saw was Inuyasha's face. Kagome smiled and then looked around and saw Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and Kaede looking over her.

"Hi guys" Kagome weakly said.

"Don't try to talk. Just focus on getting better" Sango demanded in a caring tone. "Okay?" Sango wondered.

"Thank you Sango. Inuyasha why did you kill Kikyo?" Kagome asked the speechless hanyou.

"I did it to protect you. She crossed the line in killing you. She isn't anything more than clay, mud, and water" Inuyasha put up a weak smile.

"I'm sorry I had to drive you into killing her. You loved her" Kagome looked away.

"I loved the Kikyo that was alive fifty years ago. I was afraid to loose you Kagome" Inuyasha started to blush a bit.

"Inuyasha. I don't know what to say" Kagome blushed too.

Sango and Miroku started to laugh at the two. Inuyasha became angry and chased the two around the hut. Kagome giggled and smiled at Inuyasha when he saw Kagome. Inuyasha stopped chasing them and smiled back. Sango and Miroku didn't know Inuyasha stopped so they kept going. Without warning the two bumped right into Inuyasha and knocked them down.
