Futashika Tamerai (Uncertain Hesitation)
The assassin walked over to Inuyasha. He raised his hands to defend himself, but she knocked him back down to the ground. She bent down and slowly, ever so slowly, pulled the two knives out of his back one at a time. She stood back up and moved back a few steps and stopped. She stood over Inuyasha, just staring at him. She was in the middle of an internal struggle.
'I should just kill him.' Said her rational, assassin side.
'But he doesn't know it's you.' Answered the little girl deep inside her.
'So what? I was hired to do this. This is what I'm supposed to do.'
'But you can't. You know you can't.
''It's my job!'
'It's not right.'
'But I have to do this!'
'But you love him.'
As she stood over him, her face rock hard and emotionless despite the turmoil inside her, Inuyasha turned slowly, painfully to face her.
"Well?" he hissed through gritted teeth. "What are you waiting for?"
She decided to stall, to give her time to think.
"I'm debating on whether or not to tell you my name before I kill you." She lied. "It's assassin tradition to tell your victim your name before they die. Since the information is so small and insignificant, for the victim, they never can remember it if they are brought back to life." She paused, and then treated him to her best vampire smile. "Would you like to know my name?"
Inuyasha stared at her, then swallowed hard and said, "…yes."
She grinned evilly at him, drawing out the moment as long as possible, making him visibly more apprehensive.
"All right then." She said with relish, "My name……is Gosuto Ken-Chiko. In case you didn't know Inuyasha, that means The Strong Haunting Arrow. I believe you've heard my name before."
She studied his face carefully, watching for his reaction. She smiled with satisfaction as the painful realization of who she was showed on his face.
"Oh my God." He moaned, his tears starting up again, no matter how hard he tried to hold them back. "Oh my God, oh my God…NNOO!" he screamed suddenly, causing Gosuto to flinch in surprise.
She laughed at his obvious misery, gloating over him.
'Don't do it.' Warned the little voice inside her.
With one mental move, she mentally crushed the voice, grinding it into the deep crevices of her mind. She returned to reality and was surprised to find Inuyasha crawling towards her, pushing through his pain, intent on getting to her.
"Please," he moaned, "Gosuto…please. Don't do it. Please…don't you remember me? Please…show mercy, for old time's sake…please."
Gosuto was both pleased and unnerved to see Inuyasha crying and begging for mercy at her feet. Unfortunately, her mind chose this time to begin to have flashbacks; She and Inuyasha as children playing with a little ball, She and Inuyasha as pre-adolescents laughing at their own silly pranks and stupid jokes, The two of them as thirteen year-olds walking through forests together, The two of them not two years previous kis-'NO!' she thought, rage and hurt flashing through her, 'Don't think of it! Don't remember!'
And she once again buried her thoughts deep inside her mind. She looked at Inuyasha again who, by now, had crawled all the way to her bare feet, a huge trail of blood marking where he had crawled.
As she stood there, taking in all that had happened, her anger grew. How dare he beg for her mercy after what he had done to her! How dare he even talk to her after what he put her through! Her eyes began to glow red again as her anger grew. She snarled and yanked herself away from Inuyasha.
"How dare you beg for my mercy!" she yelled, "How can you even talk to me after what you did? The gall!"
Inuyasha flinched at the venom in her voice. He knew he had hurt her, but he didn't know it was this bad. He decided to try and play on her sympathies.
"Gosuto…don't you remember? We were such good friends. All the time we spent together, all those happy nights, our lov-"
"DON'T!" she screamed, kicking out at Inuyasha's face; her foot connected with his mouth, snapping his head backwards and throwing him onto his side. "DON'T FUCKING TALK TO ME ABOUT WHAT I ALREADY FUCKING KNOW! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW I FEEL YOU BASTARD! YOU…YOU…" she found she couldn't go on; the rage and hurt rose in her throat, choking her, making her eyes well up.
She threw back her head and let out a tremendous scream, more like a roar than anything. It was powerful enough to shake the ground. But for every action, there's a positive and negative repercussion. The positive side was that it released most of her anger. The negative was that it woke up Sango and Kagome.
