"Run, Kagome!" Inuyasha laughed, amusement glinting in his eyes as he watched Kagome. "Inuyasha... Why?" Tears formed at the corners of Kagome's eyes as her lower lip trembled. "I thought you loved me!"
"You are just too gullible, Kagome. It's sad how you actually thought that I loved you. I love Kikyo, and you're nothing but a copy. A worthless copy, nothing more." Inuyasha wrapped an arm around Kikyo while holding tetsusaiga in the other. Kagome felt her heart shatter as Inuyasha very gladly said those words. Kikyo smirked. "I told you to go back to your own time. Now you've paid."
'Why did I think that he loved me in the first place? I always knew he didn't.. But I never wanted to admit it.'
Kagome sobbed and reached for her arrows but was stopped as Inuyasha wrenched her arm away from them.
"We can't let her get away, Inuyasha. Kill her." Kikyo ordered, pointing a finger directed to Kagome's head. Her eyes widened as she looked up.
'.. I won't die like this.'
She stumbled to her feet and quickly grabbed the arrows. Inuyasha seemed to dazed to immediately react. She mustered up all of her courage and ran past him, gasping for breath as she headed towards the well. 'I don't know if Inuyasha will chase me to my time, but it's safer than being here,' she thought. Newly formed tears made trails on the mud on her face as she looked behind her. She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her right shoulder and saw that there was blood flowing freely from a wound, crimson staining her already dirty school shirt. She glanced behind her and saw that Kikyo was aiming another arrow at her, and Inuyasha was easily catching up.
'I have to fight, but how? I still love Inuyasha'
She wheeled around, and before Inuyasha could swipe at her she aimed an arrow, at Kikyo. Her muscles tensed as she felt the rest of her purified power transfer to it. 'Please hit,' she pleaded, knowing that her life depended on this one arrow.
She barely even felt herself release the arrow until she heard a bloodcurdling scream. She trembled as she watched concern flash in Inuyasha's eyes before he immediately turned and sprinted to Kikyo. He cradled her limp body. "Kikyo? Kikyo! Wake up!" He finally stopped screaming her name as Kagome just watched.
'How did I do that?'
Inuyasha slowly lifted his head to stare at her. She shuddered as she saw that his eyes were burning with rage, and.. Hate. It saddened her so much to see that it was once his reaction to someone else, and in Kikyo's place would be hers.. But now she was the someone that Inuyasha hated. She wasn't the one he loved, the one he'd die to protect.. Kikyo was.
"You."
That was one simple word yet it held so much hatred. Inuyasha's eyes glimmered dangerously. "Kagome. I will KILL you." He suddenly charged at her, faster than she could have imagined. The last thing she remembered was blood and a flash of white.
