X Chapter 3 X
In the cave, Inuyasha had heard Kagome. He quickly let go of Kikyo.
"Kagome!" He gasped. "No- I need to go after her—'
Kikyo grabbed his hand fiercely, refusing to let him go.
"Kikyo! Let me go!" Inuyasha yelled.
"So… You care for her more than me, huh?" Kikyo asked, her eyes blazing again.
"I should've known…"
"No, that's not true." Inuyasha said, panicking. "Please, Kikyo, let me go, Kagome could do something stupid—'
"Then you don't care if I do something stupid?" Kikyo snarled.
"Don't let use force, Kikyo!" Inuyasha shouted.
Kikyo seemed to have her mind set. "No." She said in a dangerous tone.
"Let go of him, Kikyo!" A voice shouted. It was Sango.
"It's none of your business, Sango!" Inuyasha yelled. Then he halted. "Wait, how did you know I was here?"
"First tell me what you did to Kagome, you two-timing jerk!" Sango snapped.
"Isn't it obvious, Sango?" Miroku said, appearing beside her with Shippo and Kirara.
"Not you guys too," Inuyasha moaned.
"Inuyasha, careful!" Miroku suddenly shouted.
Kikyo was already vanishing into a black hole—and pulling Inuyasha with her.
"She's pulling you into the underworld, Inuyasha!" Miroku yelled. "Get out of her grip now!"
Inuyasha froze. He looked like a little child lost in the woods.
"Inuyasha!" Sango threw her weapon.
Kikyo's and Inuyasha were forced apart.
Inuyasha stumbled in shock and fell on Miroku.
"OW!"
Kikyo let out a cry of rage.
Sango tried to attack her, but Inuyasha pushed Sango away.
Kikyo then started to vanish. "I'll be waiting for the day when we can die together, Inuyasha!" she said, laughing.
Then she was gone.
Inuyasha groaned. "Kikyo…"
Then he stopped. "Kagome!"
He took off.
"Wait!" Sango yelled furiously, but Miroku held her.
"No. Let him go."
"What do you know? I want to teach that idiot a lesson." Sango snapped.
"Yes, I don't know anything, but we should confront him later. Let him search for Kagome first." Miroku said, his eyes softening.
Sango stopped, blushing.
"Monk…" She started.
"What are you doing, Miroku?" Shippo said, raising an eyebrow. Apparently, Miroku's hand was somewhere around Sango where it shouldn't be.
"HOISSSSSSTTTTTT SAMMMMMMAAAAA!"
WHAM!
"OWWWWWOWOWOW!"
"Idiot." Shippo muttered. Kirara meowed.
Kagome panted. Her face was stained with tears. She then settled herself under a tree.
"I am so stupid. So stupid."
She buried her head with her hands. "So… stupid…"
Then there was a sudden gust of wind.
"Ah!" Kagome was startled. She could detect two Shikon shards approaching. And approaching very fast.
She leapt up, took her bow and arrow—
"Whoa, Whoa!" Kagome, don't you know me?"
"K-Kouga!" Kagome spluttered.
