Chapter 9
From Inuyasha's point of view
The smell of blood and, sorrow was almost overpowering. I couldn't smell death but I was so scared for my son I could barely think, and the sight that awaited me as I entered the clearing didn't help. All I could do as the hawk demon took Guddorakku away was run my heart out to try to catch up. It had been ten minutes and I had no clue what was happening.
"Damn!" I thought. A minute later we burst into the clearing. There was Guddoraku, unconscious in Shasta's arms, bleeding. As I stood there all I really saw was my son lying unconscious. I saw Shasta crying and bleeding, sitting in a pool of blood but I didn't really comprehend anything but what was happening to Guddorakku.
We stood transfixed at the sight of Guddorakku. Shasta looked up straight into my eyes, in a way I will never forget. She didn't bother to make eye contact with anybody but me. In her eyes was no longer the light of the care free, sarcastic, all out strange, but normal girl, but uncharacteristic sorrow. All happiness was gone, just sadness, worry, and an apology only I could read. I'm so sorry, was what she silently apologized. Without speaking a word she stood up, still holding Guddorakku, and handed him to me. We hadn't noticed that when she stood blood flowed freely from her stomach, that she had to brace herself with his weight, and that she stumbled.
I set Guddorakku flat on the ground and we all circled around him, except for Shasta. There was a thump behind us but nobody noticed. Suddenly I felt a pull on my heart. Like something was trying to tell me to look around. So I did. There lying in a pool of blood was Shasta. She had finally lost consciousness and had fallen. The same look of sorrow played on her face but a look of sat satisfaction was there too. It seemed that know that Guddorakku was not running the chance of dying, that he was now with his family, and that perhaps she had gotten something off her chest, that if she were to die she had accomplished what she had needed to do. But it was obvious she still had business on the earth and wanted to complete it.
I looked over at Guddorakku the same look played on his face too. But I look back to Shasta not quickly enough. Kikyo's soul collectors were carrying her away. (an that's wat theyre called rite correct me if im wrong) I jumped up and ran after them. I smelt tears and I knew Kagome, only seeing the soul collectors, thought I was going to go off and flirt with Kikyo, but I was too old for betrayal such as that, and I loved Kagome too much. So instead I grabbed Kagome so she would see I wasn't going to betray her, then ran after the soul collectors. Her tears stopped, god I hope she realized what I was doing.
In a minute we entered another clearing and were face to face to Kikyo. There was only one emotion in her cold eyes. (an srry kikyo fans I am not a kikyo fan so im not afraid to kikyo bash (evil smile))Hate, blood-chilling hate had taken residence in her eyes. She loaded her bow and pointed at Shasta'' body which was now lying on the ground.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked yelling, scared for her life. I was feeling close to this girl.
"Revenge, Inuyasha, sweet revenge." She answered coldly pulling the bowstring back farther.
"Don't Kikyo!" Kagome screamed.
"I will reincarnation. You set it up for her too. Since you choose my reincarnation I must find my revenge. I will achieve it by inflicting not only emotional pain on you, but emotional pain on your son as well All generations will remember what you did." She said coldly and almost shot her arrow but was stopped by Kagome's voice.
"You witch get over it. Times have changed. True love between you and Inuyasha ended over 70 years ago. There's no need to inflict pain on others not directly involved with the problem just because you didn't get what you wanted." Kagome said firmly and harshly. Kikyo lost her temper and shot the arrow, but the arrow was stopped by Sesshomaru. He had with lightning fast speed, run over and grabbed the arrow.
"You've sunk so low." Said Sesshomau coldly breaking the arrow in half. She gasped at the sight of him.
"Sorry Kikyo but Kagome's right, times have changed." Inuyasha growled then pulled out the tessuiaga (an once again correct me if that's not how you spell it) and in one swift and fast motion had killed Kikyo. W stood for a moment looking at Kikyo Kagome grasped my hand. There were no words that anyone could speak for a few moments. But I broke the silence because no matter how intense the sight was, I didn't feel any sadness.
"We can't thank you enough, Sesshoumaru." I thanked him. Sesshomaru and I had stopped being enemies when I had mated Kagome, though I had no clue why that had anything to do with our family fued. He simply nodded and walked away. We heard Rin's cheerful voice when he was out of sight.
"Guddorakku." Shasta moaned and tried to get up. She was no longer unconscious. Blood flowed freely from her stomach but she fought still to get up. Kagome ran over to her and helped her. Shasta looked at me and tears came to her eyes.
"I'm so sorry, I failed you." She gasped then slipped back into unconsciousness. Silently I picked her up and started to walk back to the rest of the group.
