And into his lap.
She slipped right through his fingers. And into his lap.
He looked for her. But she was with him.
She didn't want this to happen. Neither did he.
But it did anyway.
But it did anyway.
"Kikyo." Inuyasha whispered.
Kagome groaned and put her head against Sesshomaru's chest. Sesshomaru stared at her in shock. Did she not just want to get away from him? He looked at Kikyo. She was the one that made Inuyasha hurt Kagome.
Once again.
He didn't like that.
He truly, really didn't like that.
Feeling anger rise in him, Sesshomaru pushed Kagome off of him. When he saw her face of hurt, he almost growled loudly.
"Fight her." he said.
Inuyasha's head swiftly turned away from Kikyo, and back to Sesshomaru and Kagome.
"What did you say?" he asked, but got no answer.
"I can't." Kagome said. "She'll always be better than me. She has him."
"Do not babble so stupidly. Fight her. If you truly think that she is the trouble and cause of your pain, rid her." Sesshomaru said.
Inuyasha looked at the two in confusion.
"Inuyasha, come with me. Naraku has been gone. There's no reason for you to stay here any longer." Kikyo said, all of a sudden close to him.
Kagome stared Sesshomaru in his eyes. He looked serious about this. She looked at Inuyasha and felt heat rise to her face as Kikyo placed her hands on his cheeks.
"Fight her." Sesshomaru repeated.
Kagome closed her eyes, and felt a new sense of confidence wash over her.
"You will win Kagome, Fight."
That was all Kagome needed, before she was running towards Kikyo, hands clenched, ready to fight. Inuyasha would have never told her to fight Kikyo, never. Inuyasha would never let her get rid of the pain that was all caused by the emotion love. But Sesshomaru, he allowed her to do this. Kagome could win! Kagome could fight.
Kikyo was caught off guard, as Kagome knocked her to the ground and started punch her clay face.
Sesshomaru smirked lightly.
Inuyasha's eyes widened.
"Kagome stop it!" Inuyasha yelled and ran towards her to break it up. But he was stopped shortly, as Sesshomaru twisted his arms behind him and pinned him to a tree, forcing him to watch as Kikyo began to fight back.
"You watch! Do you see that? You caused that. And I will not let you stop it." Sesshomaru roughly called to him.
"Sesshomaru you bastard! Let go! Kagome's going to get killed!" Inuyasha screamed.
Sesshomaru growled, and tightened his grip on Inuyasha's arms.
"Kagome will win." he said.
Kagome winced as Kikyo's spiritual powers blasted against her cheek. But Kagome refused to give up. She refused to let Kikyo win. Kagome was going to win. She punched Kikyo in the stomach. "This is for you, Sesshomaru."she said to herself.
Inuyasha was struggling, and that annoyed Sesshomaru. Fed up with the insults that were thrown at him, and sure that Kikyo was near defeat, Sesshomaru let Inuyasha go.
Kagome was just about to finish smashing Kikyo's hideous face in. It would all be over. No more broken heart. Ever again. But then, she felt herself being lifted and pushed against a tree. Still angry, she continued to fight- kicking, punching, anything she could to hurt Kikyo.
Inuyasha tried to cease Kagome's struggling. "Kagome! Stop it! Stop! It's over! Stop It!" He yelled louder, and louder, until her violence grew shorter, and she stopped. A distanced look in her eyes, she slumped towards the ground, a smile on her face.
Inuyasha looked over his shoulder and saw Kikyo, still lying on the ground. Not moving. She couldn't be dead could she? No, she was already dead. But why wasn't she moving. He slowly released Kagome, and walked over to Kikyo's clay body.
"Kikyo? Speak to me. Are you alright?" he asked in a low voice. He got no answer. "Kikyo, please." He lifted her body, and started to hug her. 'Not again.' he thought.
"Not again." Suddenly, he felt a hole in the back of her body. Looking up, he saw the souls, of many deceased young women, that Kikyo stole. They escaped her body, and they were going away, so quickly, no one, not even her soul collectors could keep up with them. Why did they have so much strength? 'Kagome.' he thought. Kagome must have take the piece of her sould that gave Kikyo life. Kikyo was truly dead now. Inuyasha turned to confront Kagome.
But she was gone.
Sesshomaru held Kagome close to his body as she calmed down. "She's gone. She's really gone. I got rid of her!" she cried happily. But then she gasped. "Inuyasha. He's going to hate me." she whispered.
Sesshomaru closed his eyes and took in her scent, squeezing her closer.
"He will not. Give him space. He will see it was best for you to rid of that woman. She was dead, and only ran on anger and sorrow with other women's souls. You did what was right."
Kagome nodded. "Thank you. I've never had the courage to do anything like that before."
"You did it on your own"
"You helped. me."
"Stay with me."
Kagome's eye s widened at the random command he made. She didn't answer him, confused.
"Curse Rin for this weak human feeling, I am what was that word you used...lonely." he nearly spat at using the word, but he spoke the truth.
Kagome was still silent, and he wondered if she was angry with him.
"I've never heard you speak so loosely before..." Kagome said finally.
Growing annoyed with her change of subject, Sesshomaru looked her in the eyes.
"Do you wish to go back to him?" He asked.
Kagome didn't say anything.
"Answer me."
Nothing.
"Now."
"No." she said.
Sesshomaru felt a tug at his small heart. And with that, he pulled Kagome back to him and rested his head on top of hers.
'Curses, Rin.' He thought.
THE END.
REI'S CORNER: That's the end of my Sess/Kag fanfic. I hope you liked it! Please don't flame me! If you REALLY REALLY liked it, maybe I'll make a sequel. If I do, you must vote:
Should I keep it Sess/Kag? Or switch it to Inu/Kag?
I kinda wanna keep it Sess/Kag because it would go along with the plot of the first fanfic, but you review and tell me what I should do ok?
WOW I CANT BELIEVE I GOT THAT STORY OUT! I'M GLAD I WROTE IT. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE STILL POUTING ABOUT THE FACT THAT IT WASN'T INU/KAG, LOOK, THE REASON I DID THIS IS CUZ THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT DO LIKE SEES/KAG STORIES, AND I WANT A VARIETY OF PEOPLE TO LIKE MY STORIES. AND HOW DO YOU DO THAT? YOU WRITE A VARIETY OF STORIES. OK? OK.
Oh yeah and DISCLAIMER: None of the characters in this story belong to me. I don't own them so don't sue me.
Oh and the didn't completely go with the REAL Inuyasha story line obviously, since Kikyo was alive after the defeat of Naraku... so don't think any of that's gonna happen k?
