Chapter 15 - Troublsome Love

Inuyasha sniffed the air but again, Kagome had successfully hid her and Ayame's scents. "damn! Why does she do that" He ran faster when he smelled blood, he got to the spot where it came from to find a deep crevise in the ground along with a piece of Kagome's robes. He sniffed the robes and the blood adn then he sniffed the air. "Its...it can't be...Kouga lets go i know you followed" Kouga jumoped out of the trees and looked at inuaysha. "That blood its Ayame's ans Kagome's..what do you make of it" Inuyasha said nothing but he handed the cloth to kouga telling him to sniff it. He did as he was told and his ehad shot up. "No" He looked to Inuaysha for the same response but Inuasyah disappointed him. "Yes." They took off again this time they knew where to go they jsut followed the trail of blood. Eventually they came to a clearing and laying in the midle was at least tweny dead demon bodies and Ayame was laying among them breathing with difficulty, kagome was tendind to her wounds. "Stop fidgeting Ayame you'll only make them bleed more" kagome was struggling to fix Ayame's sprained ankle but the wolf demons sensitive foot was twitching adn moving all around accompanied by Ayames yelps adn grunts of pain. "But it hurts Kagome" Kagome finished and helped her friend onto the laid out sleeping bag. Ayame quickly fell asleep, just as Inuaysha came oout from brhind the tree. "Kagome good job...now will you please forgive me? I don't know how else to say sorry" Kagoem looked at him with hatred in her eyes, tears streaming down her face. "You can leave me. You don't need to tag along anymore! Now I have no power over you so you have no reason to stay with me! Kikyou told me yuor real reson for turning me hanyou! Ands I loathe you for it! I thought she had lied but you just made her prediction true! You turned me hanyou so prtecting me and keeping me happy wouldn't be such a hassle! That way your necklace would eventually come off! I can see straight through you Inuyasha! Now leave"Kagome pulled out ehr bow adn aimed it at him."Or I will kill you where you stand" He walked towards her a look of great pian that Kagome had never seen on his face, he lifted his hadn towards her beckoning her to him but she closed ehr eyes adn turned her head crying harder. She let the arrow fly and waited for it to hit the tree behind him, waited to hear the swish of his kimono as he ran away from her free through the woods. But all she heard was a splater and a thud as the wounded hanyou dropped to the ground on one knee. Kagome refused to show the pain she felt and notched another arrow, Inuaysha got up and walked towards her agian and she shot him, it hit in his shoulder and he fell again. "K-kagome..please..don't listen to wh-what she said...listen to me...please...think about it...if nothin gis binding me to you...why did I come after you?...ugh..." Inuyasha collapsed to the ground barely keeping conciousness, waitin gfor her response hoping it would be the one he longed to hear but instead he heard Kikyou';s voice lingering in Kagome's"No...you betrayed me...I refuse to believe you...now...die Inuyasha" Kagome notched another arrow adn drew it back arrow and her body became surrounded in a pink light, now Kikyou stood before Inuyasha Kagoem's normal body lay on the ground at Kikyou's feet. "I used my last strengths to put a possesion spell in this half-wits body. Now I have full possession of my soul! And I haev the powers of a dog demon! I win Inuyasha...and I shall use your half-wits soulless body to kill you and her right before your eyes..." Kagome's body began to glow again and a small portion of Kikyou's soul returned to Kagome's body. Kagome notched an arrow from her enegry bow and pointed it at Inuyasha. "Please Kagome...don't.."Inuyasha pleaded laying half dead on the ground. A tear fell from Kagome's eye adn rolled down her cheek, she let the bow fall to the ground and tackled Kikyou before she knew it was coming. Kagome fought and tried knock Kikyou out"Wrretched fool! I'll take back my soul and I will kill you and Inuyasha at the same time" Kagome once more glowed pink but this time Kikyou was in pain"wh-whats hap-penning? She's taking the soul away...! How..she hasn't enough soul to posses this omuch strength or thought" Kikyou screamed as the soul was ripped from her very body and a pile of mud lay where she once stood, Kagome fell to the ground but quickly got up and crawled to Inuaysha, he looked at her smiled adn whispered. "I really was sorry." Tehen his head drooped to the ground and he lay lifeless. Kagome screamed and the necklace she wore came off her neck, a purple bead turned pink and shattered adn was replaced by another purple. Kagome watched the necklace form once again around her neck and this time it wouldn't come off. Kagome looked at Inuaysha and cried"You asshole! I told you to go away for a reason! I can't believe you could be so stupid" She sobbed into his chest it was rising and falling slowly, a grunt came from Inuaysha's mouth and a bubble protruded from his nose, he was asleep. Kagome looked at him flaming with anger and whacked him on the head with a rock, he sat up and saw that she'd been crying. "What? Did you think I was dead? I was regaining my strength duh! You baka I'd never die on you" He wrapped his arms around Kagome adn she hugged him and tackled him all at once and sobbed into his shoulder. "I'm sorry I should've told you about the dreams and the sightings and attacks...I really am sorry and forgave you once you told me Inuyasha I could sense that you weren't lying" He hugged her tight and got up carrying her bridal style, Kouga came into the clearing carrying all sorts of paper dolls that were a bit mangled. "I found these where we killed those demons at the village and the other night, Kikyou planned it all" Inuyasha nodded and jerked his head in Ayame's direction, Kouga whimpered then he picked her up and, with her pouting and sulking in his arms they all trudged back to the village.
