Never Forgotten, Always Loved.
Chapter 3
A/N: Ok ... I'm back! This is extremely fast writing for me. Thanks for all the lovely reviews! I don't have too many yet, but we'll get there ... hopefully. As always, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the plot ... but I wish I did. While I'm wishing for that ... a million bucks would be nice as well. : )
The fight was over sooner than Kagome had expected. She felt useless to only result to watching the man fight. 'You're pathetic Kagome. You should help him ...' she told herself.
'Yeah right, a man like that would totally need YOUR assistance.' She retorted back. While Inuyasha was busy slicing demons' heads off, Kagome had crawled to the side, just to be surprised by the demons following her. Inuyasha turned around for a split second and found her gone, while getting bit in the arm by a rather large demon.
"Lay off!" He shouts, and he tore the demon apart. "Where do you think you're going?" He shouts, once he found that Kagome was running away.
'Just give him enough time to rest.' She thought, still running and distracting the demons. 'Why are those things after you?' She asks herself.' Inuyasha broke her train of thought as he jumped to her side.
"Are you crazy? Do you WANT to kill yourself?" He shouts and fights off a few more demons. "This is too slow." With one sweep, he chopped off another half-dozen heads.
"WINDSCAR ATTACK!" He roared, shaking the ground beneath him. But his attack caused a major earthquake to roll towards the demons at incredible speeds. He clasped his hands together and sheathed his sword. "What the hell did those things want from you?" He asked her, suspicious.
"I don't know." She replied in a small voice. "I didn't do anything, I swear!" She added quickly.
He raised his left eyebrow.
"Are you sure?" He examined her, sniffing and carefully analysing her scent. "You smell pretty innocent ..." He trails off. "But I sense the presence of something else." His eyes shoot wide open. "I know what that is ..." His lips curved into a smile as he dragged her into the forest and where Kikyou was.
"Where are you taking me?" She yelped, frightened and struggling to keep up with his pace. "I'm tired and I want to go home!" She whined.
"Oh no, we don't have time for that." He was still dragging her by the wrist. "The sooner we get there the better, I'll explain later."
"NO!" She commanded. "I want to sit down. SIT! Do you understand that?" The second the word 'sit' left her mouth, Inuyasha fell to the ground, face-planted himself in a rather painful and comical way.
"How the hell did you do that?" He shouts, anger rising within him.
"I don't know." She whimpered, fearful of his towering glare. "Stop staring at me like that. I don't know what I did ... all I said was 'sit'." Inuyasha smacked into the ground again.
"STOP THAT!" He roars. Kagome started to find the situation extremely funny.
"What? Say 'sit'?" She teased. "SIT!" She shouts and down he went again.
He clenched his teeth. "Stupid wench." He muttered inaudibly.
"What did you say?" She inquired.
"Nothing." He replied dully.

Kikyou wiped away the sweat from her forehead. She had spent the whole morning helping and tending to the injured farmers who claimed to have been victimised by a demon.
"Jinenji." She whispered the name to herself. She was enjoying a bath in river, wading around while relaxing and admiring her surroundings. "I'll have to check it out later, I suppose." She sighed.
She came back onto shore, feeling refreshed and replenished. The afternoon came and went as she tending to dozens more injured people. When night fell she retreated to the hills and layed on the grass, looking at the stars overhead and listening to the crickets' songs. A small sigh escapes her mouth as she thinks of Inuyasha.
::Flashback::
"Kikyou? Have you ..." Inuyasha began as he looked up at the distant stars.
"Have I what?" Kikyou replied, her gaze shifting to look as him. She smiled at his expression, one of solitude and calmness not often seen.
"Ever wondered what created those stars?" He finished. Kikyou was puzzled, she had never heard him inquire about nature before.
"Yes ... whoever created them looks after us as well, or so I believe."
"Really?"
"Yes, and we were put on this planet with a purpose too."
"Feh ... what may that be?" He asked, his head turned to face hers.
"To love and care for one another." She replied calmly, although her stomach was filling with butterflies, a new sensation. She bared a warm smile, and much to her surprise, he returned it. A cold breeze swept over them and Kikyou subconsciously huddled closer to him, intoxicating him with her scent. Slowly, he swings his arm over her shoulders and looked down. His amber eyes met their hazel counterpart. Kikyou looked up at him, her lips curved into a smile. Inuyasha closed his eyes and gently brushed his lips against hers.
::End Flashback::
