Chapter 6: Handing Her Over…
"How? Why?" Inuyasha managed to let out.
"She is my reincarnation. We are connected." Kikyou explained.
"And my stuff?" Kagome asked.
"It was meant to shrink you and the objects you had touched in that amount of time. Not people, though. Just you and those which contained your presence on them." Kikyou explained.
"I'm not handing Kagome over to you or Naraku!" Inuyasha shouted.
"Kagura didn't capture Kagome for Naraku. She captured her to give to me." Kikyou explained.
"Huh?" Inuyasha was very confused by this news.
"Kagura desires only her freedom. I can help free her from Naraku. But I wanted to know I could actually trust her." Kikyou explained.
Kagome was shocked by this news. "So you shrank me just to see if you could trust Kagura?!"
"You're in the way. I thought I could just do these two things, getting rid of you and learning to trust Kagura, in one setting." Kikyou explained.
"So, killing two birds with one stone, huh?" Kagome replied.
"Undo this spell, Kikyou. NOW!" Inuyasha ordered.
"No. Inuyasha, can't you see that Kagome is in the way. We can be together again. You know you want to be with me." Kikyou said.
"You're crazy, you know that? Just undo this spell now." Inuyasha answered.
"I refuse and the only way to undo this spell now is my death. I know you can't do that, Inuyasha." Kikyou replied.
Inuyasha got extremely nervous. What was he supposed to do now? Kikyou just continued to stare at him.
"Either kill me right now or hand over Kagome." Kikyou ordered.
"INUYASHA!" Miroku's voice called out.
Inuyasha turned and spotted Sango, Miroku and Shippou on Kirara's back. Kirara landed right next to Inuyasha and the others just climbed off Kirara's back as the cat youkai transformed back into its smaller form.
"Kikyou shrunk Kagome and said the only way to undo the spell is to kill her." Inuyasha explained.
"How long are you going to insist on playing this childish game?" Kikyou asked.
"Inuyasha, you know that we aren't powerful enough to defeat Kikyou if she really wants to fight." Sango whispered to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha walked over to Shippou. "Hold her for me." Inuyasha said as he placed Kagome in Shippou's hands. Inuyasha then moved his right hand and reached for his sword. "If it really came down to it…" Inuyasha said out loud in order to not only tell Kikyou that he wouldn't hand over Kagome but to also mentally prepare himself that he would fight Kikyou.
Kikyou reached for her bow. "You are a fool, Inuyasha." She stated.
"I'm not handing Kagome over. Kikyou, you need help. We'll take you to someone who can help you. Kaede can do it." Inuyasha said as he drew his sword. He was prepared for battle. He wasn't going to back down.
