Chapter 2: Her

Kagome almost took his clawed hand in her pale one when they heard a violent rustling in the bushes. The bushes rustled some more until a red and white figure stepped out and made herself known to the couple. The dark haired miko stepped forward; her hair blew in the wind as the trapped leaves played around her form. Her pale skin seemed almost white, and had a ghostly glow about her in the moonlit night.

"Inuyasha and my reincarnation." Deducted the miko.

"Kikyou." was all Inuyasha could say. He withdrew his wet hand from Kagome's form and cautiously started to make his way towards the bank. He looked back at Kagome and saw her trembling in the water; ripples were produced by her shaking and the water that was dripping from her hair. Inuyasha felt so ashamed of what he had done to her, he knew she wouldn't want him near her ever again. 'I would have probably killed her if I hadn't found my sword. Damn. If only I could remember exactly what I did.' Inuyasha left his thoughts and turned to Kikyou instead, and everything involving Kagome his shame and his pain, vanished from his silver head.

'Kagome.' thought Kikyou. The hatred for her reincarnation was evident in her features, which did no justice to her usual calm and collected self. Kikyou's eyes were narrowed and her hands gripped tighter to the bow she held. Just looking at that fake made her upset. But Kikyou couldn't help her curiosity from getting the best of her when she noticed the marks on her face and that her shirt was torn. The cuts on her face weren't caused by a blade of any kind; they looked to be caused by claws. She took her gaze from Kagome and directed towards the forest, there was something there, but she couldn't tell what it was. Her thoughts were soon interrupted as she heard the hanyou approaching. She saw drops of blood were scattered about Inuyasha's clothing and narrowed her eyes in thought. 'Exactly what happened here?' Her curiosity was soon pushed away from her mind as the silver hanyou caught her gaze.

Kagome looked up from the water and saw Kikyou staring at her. She seemed to be focusing on something other than Kagome, almost like Kikyou was looking straight through her. 'What is she looking at?' Kagome thought. As she looked at Kikyou, Kagome started feeling numb all over. She couldn't hold her head up well and her pruned fingers felt like they weren't even there. She put her hands on the ruff gray surface of the rock she was near and tried to pull herself up, but she couldn't. Her whole body was going completely numb and she didn't know why. Her mind was racing, there had to be a reason why she couldn't move. As she thought she looked up to see Inuyasha and Kikyou just looking at each other. Kagome couldn't even speak; her lips wouldn't take her minds commands. Her eyes started to fill up with crystal like tears as they made their way down her cheeks. Kagome began slowly slipping down into the steamy water. When she felt the water getting up to her chin she tried to call out again, but no success. As the water reflected the black night sky it finally claimed the last of Kagome's raven hair into its dark depths. Kagome tried to call out once more but, nothing was heard.

Inuyasha was just staring at Kikyou the entire time Kagome was facing her last breath. He just looked deep into her eyes, and wanted nothing more than a gentle kiss to make all the wonderful memories of the past come back. He could see the longing in Kikyou's eyes but there was something else there too. She looked as if she pretended to watch him, and was actually watching someone else. But there was no one else here except the two of them, and Kagome. He looked over his shoulder to find that the spring was empty. 'She probably ran back to the village.' He turned his golden orbs back to the woman that stood in front of him and kept her gaze this time. But, sadly, an unexpected sound broke their gaze and caught their attention.

A splash was heard by the hanyou and clay miko as their gaze was broken on one another. The spring now had tiny waves hitting against the rocks and the bank causing pieces of dirt to fall into the water. The couple waited for a moment or two before seeing a soaked Kagome in the arms of a man wearing a baboon pelt.

A/N: Sorry it's short and I know you wanted it to be longer and I'm sorry I really am it's just that I wanted to leave you hanging because I thought I'd give you guys time to ponder over what would happen next. (don't hurt me) Tell you what you don't even have to review. But it would be very much appreciated. Also –Key of Minds- I hope this was better detailing for you.
