Chapter 3 - Trouble in Paradise
Kagome looks up at Kikyo and asks, "Why are you doing this?"
Kikyo glares at her and remarks, "I no longer hold Inuyasha's heart. Look at him, Kagome. See the fear of losing you in his eyes. Notice how he has a hand on his sword. He would actually draw Tetsuigai on me to protect you."
Kagome could hear the venom in her scathing, bitter voice. She finally chances a glance at Inuyasha to see that he has already drawn Tetsuigai and is staring straight at her face. As her eyes connect with his, she can feel his desperation at wanting to save her. She can sense that he has a surge of emotions, and then a weird kind of remorse as he glances at Kikyo. Suddenly, Kikyo laughs, and it reminds Kagome of broken glass.
"Inuyasha, would you actually kill me? Just to save this weak child, could you possible kill me for her?" she asks mockingly and gets ready to shoot the arrow.
Inuyasha feels torn in two. I can't let her hurt Kagome.
"I may not be able to kill you, Kikyo, but I won't let you kill Kagome."
Oh. Inuyasha thinks Kagome with her gratitude shining clearly at him out of her eyes.
Kikyo's eyes fill with fire and she prepares to shot Kagome. A cold, evil wind begins blowing, Inuyasha fears he will be too late to save Kagome.
