Chapter 8 - Confrontation
Kagome jolts upright to forcing Kikyo to take a few steps back.
"Why are you wearing Inuyasha's red haori shirt!" She demands voice sharp as glass.
"Because I got cold and he gave it to me to cover up with. Besides it's not as though it's any of your business anyway. You're still trying to kill him or has that changed now that he loves me and not you?"
Kikyo has a look of pure rage on her otherwise calm face as she turns to draw her bow and arrow. Kagome, taking advantage of the situation decides to tackle her. There is not much room to fight in the tiny hut.
Kagome can only wonder What's happened to Inuyasha?
Kikyo gets the upper hand due to her lack of concentration.
"What is the matter, Kagome? Afraid that I've already killed Inuyasha. Well, I haven't because I only need to kill you. Then I will have my soul and can use the jewel to restore my life. I can become truly alive once more. Then Inuyasha and I will together again as we were meant to be. Right now, he is outside battling your precious little Kouga."
A look close to terror takes over Kagome's features. She can finally hear the commotion going on outside.
OUTSIDE
"How dare you touch my woman, Mutt-face!"
"She is not your woman, and she never will be. Get over it, Flea-bag. Kagome doesn't even love you."
Inuyasha charges at Kouga in an attempt to overpower him. Kouga narrowly dodges another blow from the Tetsuigai and jumps further from the Inuyasha. He then notices the soul catchers hovering in the air above the village.
"It looks like your woman is trying to hurt mine."
Clueless as usual Inuyasha asks, "What do you mean my woman?"
Kouga points to the village and Inuyasha turns around to see what he is talking about. When he does, he catches a glimpse of the soul catchers and his blood runs cold with fear.
"No! Kikyo can't kill Kagome! She can't! I won't let her!"
Both men run back toward the village and the woman they love.
