Chapter 6: I Don't Care Anymore

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

"I'll keep it forever." He promised.

Kagome shook her head. "Arigatou… but… Please Inuyasha. Don't get hurt because of me!"

Inuyasha smirked at her. Then he stood, ready to fight Yura. He flexed his claws threateningly, and said, "Feh. You aren't nothin' compared to some of the other youkai that I've fought."

Yura scowled. "You are just a wimpy hanyou. Hanyou are only half-strength compared to a full-fledged youkai."

"Inuyasha!"

It was Kagome. What did she want now? "Nani?" Inuyasha asked.

"I have a gift for you! Here, take this sword." Kagome said, pulling a sword out of her backpack (I didn't mention she had a backpack… oh well, she does).

Inuyasha noticed it was a stick of a sword, but took it anyway.

"Inuyasha! This sword is called the Tetsusaiga! It can transform into a gigantic fang when used properly!" Kagome called to him.

"'Used properly?'" Inuyasha asked.

"I don't know how to use it!" Kagome shrugged.

Inuyasha glared at her darkly. "You don't 'know how'?"

Kagome shrugged helplessly.

"Girl! I don't like you!" Yura shouted at Kagome.

She jerked her wrists, and her sword came flying down toward Kagome.

Kagome hesitated, and closed her eyes, welcoming death.

"Kagome! What are you doing! Move!" Kagome heard Inuyasha shout. But she didn't care anymore. Something told her she never cared.

Kagome sat there for a few seconds longer, awaiting the impact of a sword. But when she felt none, she opened her eyes, and blinked.

"Hey Kagome. The Tetsusaiga transformed. It seems to have a heartbeat. Weird, huh?" Inuyasha asked her.

"Inuyasha… why?" She asked.

"Hey. I promised to protect you, didn't I?" Inuyasha replied.

Kagome blinked back tears. "Yes. Yes you did."

"Stop crying. It makes you look soft." Inuyasha teased her.

Kagome looked at him angrily. "Oh shut up."

Kagome suddenly noticed something nearby. It was a stained looking white; it was shoved back underneath the couch, obviously trying to not be seen. Kagome edged toward the couch, her heart thumping.

Yura didn't notice Kagome until she had pulled out the white object and discovered it as a skull.

"Get away from that or say goodbye to your precious hanyou!" Yura screamed.

Kagome looked at the skull, to Yura, to Inuyasha, and back to the skull again. She took out a knife hidden in her backpack, and smirked at Yura. "No." She said, slamming the knife deep into the skull. The skull shattered, and inside lay a broken comb, much like the one Yura had in her hands.

"You idiot…" Yura whispered, but her words were lost as she disintegrated.

Inuyasha and Kagome stared dumbfounded. Inuyasha was the first to break the silence with a snort.

"Inuyasha, I didn't care." Kagome whispered, her hands shaking.

"What are you talking about?"

"When I almost died, I didn't care. I was welcoming it. Is there something…wrong with me?" Kagome asked, rocking back and forth.

"No. There's nothing wrong with you." Inuyasha whispered.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

And that…is the end of this chapter.
