Chapter 10: And so it begins...

"INUYASHAAAAAAAAAAAA" Kagome yelled as she held her head in her hands and fell down to the ground.

----------------------------

"INUYASHAAAAAAAAAAAA"

InuYasha lifted his head as he heard that. Kagome's voice...was he hearing things? Was she not dead? He quickly stood up and ran towards the voice, with only one thought in head.

'I'm coming Kagome...my love…'

---

She had really been blind… Now that she thought of it… InuYasha had always seemed weird when she came back from one of her encounter with Kikyou. He had seen it all…but hadn't done anything. He had promised her… that he would always protect her, no matter what… though he also said the same thing to Kikyou…

It was so unfair! ALL OF IT! She had always been a good girl! She had always done what was best for the others. She would always put the others in front of her. Then why couldn't she have ONE, the ONE thing she wanted the most in the whole world. WHY? What? Had she done something terribly bad in her past? No, she had always been a good girl. Had she done something bad in her past incarnations? That was impossible, there was only Kikyou… Kikyou… was she paying the consequences of Kikyou's evil actions? But… Kikyou was still "Alive" now, then why did SHE have to pay for the stuff KIKYOU did?

…because she wasn't worth anything…

Kagome looked down at the ground and remembered a painful memory. She remembered the voices…

'You aren't worth anything bitch! I wouldn't pay more then a penny for you. You're nothing but a useless wench!'

She held her head in her hands once.

She wasn't worth anything. He had said it, and so did InuYasha. She remembered why she hadn't liked it when InuYasha called her a wench or a bitch, it reminded her of him, but then she had gotten used to InuYasha saying it, and he seemed to say it in a nice kind of way. Not like HE used to…

----

InuYasha was getting nearer, he felt it…

'Hold on Kagome! I'm coming.'

And with that thought he ran even faster. He started seeing a bunch of flashbacks of Kagome.

When she had cried over him for the first time…

When she was worried he was hungry and brought him some fruits…

When she had sat him to take a look at his bruises and wounds…

When she had told him that she wanted to be with him if he would let her…

When she had come back from her meetings with Kikyou…

He fisted his hand at that last thought. Why did she keep her encounters with Kikyou secretive? She should have told him! He…he would have done something… well he did do something even though she didn't tell him…but… he… he would have held her.

During her meetings with Kikyou, she had gotten hurt. She usually came back with those makeup and perfume thingy all over her, making InuYasha frown. He knew what happened on each meeting, and after each meeting he would go and see Kikyou to talk.

His hope was that Kagome would trust him and tell him what happened. All he wanted was for her to tell him the truth, so he could hold her, tell her that he knew, and that he had talked to Kikyou and told her to stop. He wanted to hold her close to him and tell her how sorry he was for hurting her like that.

He was so sorry for hurting her…but then, why did he keep letting this go on? He knew why she got hurt, because of Kikyou.

But he loved Kikyou as well. If it were anyone else that hurt his Kagome he would kill them, torture them, do everything to make them stop. But this was Kikyou, he couldn't hit her, torture her, and even more, kill her! She was Kikyou! He loved her… loved…yeah…he knew who he really loved now. That meant he could kill Kikyou right? Wrong. He couldn't kill Kikyou. He may have found out that he truly loved Kagome, but that didn't mean he didn't still love Kikyou a bit…

So then…what would he do?

His thoughts were cut short when Kagome came into view. The rain was getting harder.

Kagome's hair and clothes were wet. Her clothes were sticking to her skin and her hair was framing her face.

She was on her knees…crying… and once again, InuYasha felt himself wanting Kagome to tell him all her problems, so he can suppress all of them away and make her feel happy. He wanted to hold her and to whisper her soothing words. And surprisingly enough, he found himself walking towards her and pulling her to him.

So there they were, standing, in the middle of the rain, Naraku, Kanna, Kagura and Kikyou watching the love display on the sideway.

InuYasha hugged Kagome and buried his head in her wet head.

"Kagome, please don't cry, why are you crying?" he said while making is hands go up and down on her back.

"I… you..., and then she looked up and pushed him away, YOU! How…how could you… I thought…"

"Wha--? What's wrong?" InuYasha asked surprised as he was pushed away.

"THERE YOU GO AGAIN! LYING TO ME! YOU KNOW VERY WELL WHAT YOU DID!" she said as she fell back on her knees and in the mud crying.

InuYasha looked at her confusingly, still not getting why she was so angry at him.

"Wha…Kagome…please tell me what's wrong…" InuYasha said as he tried to hug her again.

"You…GRR! First you promise me that you'd protect me no matter what, and then you, you KNEW what Kikyou did to me but you didn't do anything! And then, and then you go and make out with her while I could have been dying!" Kagome said as she sobbed harder.

InuYasha's eyes grew wide as he glared at the evil people on the sideways and bent down to Kagome to hug her close to him.

"I-I'm sorry, I'm being selfish, of course you would go make out with her… you love her, I'm just a… a third wheel… I…I'm sorry." Kagome said in InuYasha's chest, her voice muffled because of his shirt and because of her sobs.

"Don't be. You shouldn't be sorry…if anybody should, it's me. I…I did know what happened and, he said and felt Kagome stiffen, I did do something, I tried talking to Kikyou, I was so confused, I didn't know what to do, I couldn't hit her because a part of me will always… I'm so sorry!"

"Kukuku, as touching this scene is, I don't have time for it. So, let's get on with this." Naraku said as he transformed into the spider he was (Movie 2) and sent out a blast of miasma.

Everyone coughed and hid they're mouth and nose. InuYasha took Kagome with him and put his haori over her and his mouth as he jumped up high and out of the miasma.

He brought her to safe land and took out his tetsaiga. By then, Sesshoumaru and Kouga suddenly appeared.

They looked at each other and nodded.

This was going to be… THE battle. They all knew that some of them might not come out of this alive…

And then…it started.
