A True Confession

Chapter 8: A Fight for the Shards.

"Come on Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled trying to get the mikos attention.

"Huh? I'm coming!" She replied being torn from her day dream.

"Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?"

"You were to busy daydreaming. And besides you wouldn't have noticed anyway." Inuyasha said getting annoyed.

"I don't like that tone mister." Kagome replied hand on her hip.

"Feh" Was his famous reply.

"Can we just get going?" Sango asked getting annoyed by Inuyasha and Kagome's fight.

"That's what I've been trying to do!" Inuyasha grumbled.

"Do they always do this Sango?" Kohaku asked emphasizing the always.

"You'll get used to it." Sango giggled

A Few Sits and 2 hours later. . . . . . .

"Hey Inuyasha, can you sense that demonic aura?" Kagome asked looking around.

"Feh."

"I take that as a yes. If it isn't speak now or forever hold your peace." Kagome giggled adding cheer into the air.

"Lady Kagome, You sure are funny." Kohaku said in between his laughs.

"Why thank you Kohaku." Kagome smiled.

Inuyasha paid no attention to this; his mind was on something else. 'Kikyo, it is you I sense. But what are you doing in these parts?' Inuyasha thought.

Kagome looked up to see two or three soul collectors heading toward the group.

"Inuyasha, are those not Kikyo's soul collectors?" Miroku asked.

"They are Miroku." Kagome said half mumbling.

'Why does Kikyo always have to came and tear Inuyasha away from me. I mean us. She has no right. But then again. Inuyasha does go to her.' Kagome thought as sadness spread across her face. 'What did I just think that!' Kagome started blushing.

"Kagome-Chan?" Sango asked in a concerned voice.

"Are you ok?"

"Why wouldn't I be okay Sango-Chan.? I'm perfectly fine." Kagome asked pasting a fake smile on her face.

"OK, if you are sure." Sango looked down at Kohaku who was staring at the soul collectors.

"Don't worry Kohaku. They won't hurt you." Sango reassured her younger brother.

The group walked into a clearing and decided to take a break.

"Phew, we have been walking for a while now. I'm tired." Kagome sighed wiping her brow.

"Pathetic humans." Inuyasha mumbled

"Inuyasha take it back. NOW!"

"What if I don't want to?" Inuyasha replied amused at Kagome's anger.

"I guess you like your favorite word don't you. Other wise it wouldn't be a favorite word would it. Kagome glared at Inuyasha.

"Fine, I take it back." Inuyasha said climbing a tree.

'I sense Kikyo, and I know Inuyasha can to.' Kagome thought staring into space.

Kagome looked up to see Inuyasha at the trunk of his tree and Kikyo with an arrow pointed at her.

"What?" Kagome gasped backing away.

"Give me your jewel shards." Kikyo said in a dazed manor.

Kagome look at Inuyasha.

'Kikyo would never do this! I know it. But then who is.?' Inuyasha questioned himself.

"Well, you heard me. Give me the shards."

Kagome looked from Kikyo to Inuyasha.

She had no idea what to do.

Inuyasha just stood there dumb founded. Sango and Miroku where trying to figure out what to do.

And there she was. Stuck with an arrow that wouldn't miss her heart.

What was she to do? Kagome looked at her bow and arrow at her feet. Knowing if she dared reach for them Kikyo would shoot her.

"Inu…Inuyasha?" She pleaded for him to tell her what to do.

"Kagome." He whispered unsure of what to do.

"Kikyo, what are you doing?" Inuyasha asked with sadness in his eyes.

"Doing what I should have done long ago. Master Naraku helped me understand this." She replied with a smirk on her face.

"Naraku? We killed him!"

"What you killed was a puppet. You're a fool to think he could die so easily."

Nobody was really surprised at this. They all new that it was stupid of them to believe they actually killed Naraku.

"Inuyasha come with me. You will get what your heart desires. Now is the time to choose. Me, or that pitiful excuse of a miko.

Inuyasha knew deep down that this day would come. But he never thought it would come so soon.

"Inuyasha choose me, or the girl and death." Kikyo yelled pulling her arrow reading it to shoot Kagome.

Kagome's eyes went blurry from her tears and shut her eyes waiting for the blow. But it never came.

She looked up to see Sango's giant boomerang laying on the ground with the arrow stuck in its surface.

Kagome took this time to grab her bow and arrows.

"Inuyasha……….please understand that if I kill Kikyo, it was never to hurt you." Kagome said. Know that the hanyu's sharp hearing would be able to hear it.

Tears filled Kagome's eyes hoping Inuyasha would forgive her if she killed Kikyo.

Inuyasha looked at the two mikos ready to fire an arrow at each other.

'Why do I feel that if Kagome is hurt it would be my fault? Why? Why do I not care if Kikyo is killed?'

At that moment Inuyasha realized he had truly loved Kikyo once. But not now. He had moved on. But she hadn't. He knew that he was in love with Kagome now. Not Kikyo.

Kikyo let her arrow go and it flew towards Kagome.

"Now you will die." Kikyo smiled evilly.

"That won't be happing here today Kikyo!" Inuyasha yelled

"Windscare!" With a blow the arrow disappeared into thin air.

"How dare you choose to side with that….that girl!"

"I've finally realized I don't love you any more Kikyo. I once did. But we were over 50 years ago!"

Kagome was surprised at Inuyasha's answer.

'He doesn't love Kikyo?' Kagome thought.

"I sagest you leave Kikyo or I just might have to kill you, wouldn't I?" Inuyasha sounded really mad at her.

'Inuyasha is mad at Kikyo? Why would he be mad?' Kagome was confused at this.

Miroku, Sango, Shippou, Kohaku, and Kirara had all sneaked into the forest, knowing that it was for the best.

Kikyo turned and fled knowing Inuyasha wasn't playing around.

Inuyasha put his sword back into its place, turned and ran to Kagome.

"Kagome….."

"Inuyasha why did you do that?"

"Do you have to know everything?"

"There goes another moment ruined by Inuyasha's rudeness." Miroku sighed from behind the bush he was sitting by.

A/N: Walla! anthor chappie done. I think it's the longest I've done so far. Arn't you proud of me! Please R/R! I have a question, should I have Naraku be deafeated and the jewel shards collected. Or cut the story short and just have it done already? Plz tell me via reveiw.
