Avelyn Lauren – Yea I keep telling Inu to stop being such an idiot to Kagome and consider her feelings…but I think his mouth just runs faster than his brain. 'Brain starts chasing the mouth before it says "YOU IDIOT READER…TELLING ME I'M CLUELESS!" '

InuKagPar4Life – Hehe…yea I bet your brain is hurting just as much as Kagome's right now…just imagine if you were in her position. Ow that must really give the brain a hard time…but now poor she is lost…what will she do now? Read on.

Dark Inu Fan – Yep everything falling apart…but I don't think the kami's hate her…I think all of these problems just leads to something greater…but I think the kami is actually blessing Inu…I mean he finally gets this opportunity of fluffiness with Kagome…plus they know what will happen in the end with the two love birds.

xxsugarsodaxx – Wow you're the last person I know to not understand the chapter title haha only joking…Entertainment of Evil is saying this is whole love triangle between Inu, Kagome and Kikyo is entertainment to Tsukaikishiba…and he's evil…so… 'Entertainment' and 'Evil'…its pretty straight forward…well enjoy this one.

Raithya – I've never had you as my reviewer before…o well…thanks for the review even though there we're no cough compliments cough…well here's your update…and keep on reading and reviewing.

Nowhere To Go

Chapter 10 – Strike Three and Kagome's out

Last Time:

After what seemed to be forever, Inuyasha pushed off the kissing Kikyo that he felt nothing for, when he heard rustling in the trees behind him. He gracefully turned around to see who or what it was and saw the person he least wanted to see right now, all of his anger towards her moments ago had left him when he saw…

"Kagome."

Kagome's heart stopped at what she saw. She was hoping that Inuyasha would forgive her about the whole 'boyfriend' drama in her time, and seek comfort with him while her mother was making out with her boyfriend. But now she saw Inuyasha kissing Kikyo. At first she thought that this was a little payback from Inuyasha, but when she saw the look on his face…it showed concern and worry. The seriousness of his face told her that this was no prank or joke, this was real.

Kagome wanted with all of her strength to turn around and run with tears in her eyes…but her legs wouldn't follow. She was stuck, staring at the pair before her still with a shock expression…it was until Inuyasha finally spoke that she reacted.

"K-Kagome…let me explain…it…it's not what it looks like." He stuttered with an uncertain voice.

Now the tears were freely flowing from her eyes, she turned to look at Kikyo behind Inuyasha through her unclear sobs. Kikyo stared back with un-emotional eyes and slowly walked up beside Inuyasha, she tugged on the sleeve of his Haori in an effort to ignore the sobbing girl and return back to their business.

Through watching all of this before the young schoolgirl (actually ex-schoolgirl), she couldn't look at the pair before her emotional distress was getting to her and her legs finally reacted. Kagome quickly spun around leaving her large yellow bag behind and raced towards nothing. She had nowhere to go now…her mother found a man that she wasn't ready for…and Inuyasha found a girl to complete his heart, even though it wasn't herself. Both eras of time…the Feudal Era, and her present era had both closed before her. She couldn't see her mother now after what happened…and how could she possibly stay in the Feudal era where there were demons hiding under every tree, with Inuyasha and Kikyo together? Well at least in the present time there was somewhere to hide and not be threatened by demons, even though it may not be home. It's back to the streets again…

He saw her run fast heading towards what he could guess was the well, leaving only her yellow bag.

'Shit…what have I done? If what her mom said was true…' His thoughts trailed off when he heard snickering behind him, bringing his thoughts back to reality. He swiftly turned to his right to see Kikyo chuckling.

"Inuyasha…leave that wench alone…you have me now…" She spoke evilly between giggles.

"NO! You are not the Kikyo I knew…I thought I smelled something foul around your presence…you're just a puppet!" He yelled angrily, blaming all of Kagome's misery onto this fake. He realized after that cold feeling kiss that not only were his feelings for her mutual, but at how close up he was to her…he smelled something very strong of Sakura petals…like the one whipped across his face not long ago. The smell was so strong that even though he was currently in his human form, it was unmistakable. The dead Kikyo would have revived with her grave-yard soil and bones.

Kikyo eyed him more evilly that he was able to find out her true identity, but she simply smirked at his intelligence.

"So…you've figured it out Inuyasha. You're much more intelligent than I gave you credit for…now…prepare to die." Kikyo's voice spoke with two octaves, like there were two different voices coming from one mouth. A voice that was her own and another deep dark voice that sounded like someone familiar. She lunged after Inuyasha, planning to attack him head on. Suddenly a purple glow formed a small katana in her right hand.

Out of reflexes, Inuyasha grabbed his sheath with the Testaiga still inside. He couldn't transform his Testaiga while he was in his human form.

'Shit…I can only defend myself…and I have to destroy this deceased Kikyo. The real Kikyo would have wanted me to end this madness. Who could be doing all of this? Naraku is dead and so are all of his incarnations…wait…there is still one more alive…no…that bastard is too lazy to do any of this…but who else can create illusions and puppets such is this?' Inuyasha's mind was boggled with many questions as to who would want this to happen to him and Kagome, and this was all obviously a trap to break him and Kagome apart. As he continued to think he was blocking each attack Kikyo threw at him with her small katana. 'Damn it…this is going on forever…I need to find the bastard who would do this.'

While he had the opportunity, Inuyasha unsheathed his Testaiga; in its untransformed state it was still sharp. He continued blocking Kikyo's attacks with each stroke…he left the sheath lying on the ground when he pulled out his Testaiga. He found an opening in her attacks and quickly stabbed her through her abdomen feeling no regret or sadness for his actions; she gave out a loud screech of pain and disappeared into torn Sakura petals. Satisfied that the puppet was now gone, he grabbed his sheath and sheathed back Testaiga and left it on his hip like usual. He started running towards the direction that Kagome left to, but soon his path was block by another dark figure.

The figure started whining as he spoke, "Aww Inuyasha…why'd you kill her so soon? I was enjoying the show…and she was one of my prettiest illusions too, I planned to use her again against you. I guess your heart is as cold as ice…I thought you loved her?" He stated more like a statement than a question. He emerged out of the shadow to reveal his face, but Inuyasha already knew who he was by the sound of his voice.

Inuyasha gave a disgusting look when his guess was right…it was Tsukaikishiba.

Kagome was still running through the forest trying to find her way back towards the well. She now regretted leaving her bag behind, but she didn't want to leave forever without giving her friends a parting gift with all the food she packed. She knew Inuyasha won't come for her anymore…he didn't need her anymore. The Jewel was complete, Naraku is dead…and now Kikyo has returned to give her heart to Inuyasha. There was no point in staying here anymore. Kagome finally came to a decision that she would never come back, not after what happened. She can't go back to her house either, while that man was around.

Kagome finally found the well and hoped over the edge of the old wood. She took one last glance at her surroundings and was upset that she couldn't say bye to Sango, Miroku, Shippou and Kirara…but she had no choice. As her tear fell, she dropped of the edge of the well never to return again.

Inuyasha was out of ideas…how could he destroy Tsukaikishiba while he was human? Of course he stupidly just chased after the demon with his rusty sword, praying that it'll pierce him just like his puppet, but it won't be enough…he was the real thing. Inuyasha charged after him though with all his might, with sword at hand. He was too angry to back down, not after what Tsukaikishiba had put him through.

Tsukaikishiba dodged every attack Inuyasha gave him, looking very bored.

"Inuyasha is that all you've got? I'd think that your human form would be at least a little bit more aggressing like last time…but oh…since Kagome isn't with you, you can't show off your true ability along with your determination of protection…haha you're just a pathetic hanyou…you still need a human wench to boost up your strength." He continued to laugh, but was suddenly too bored to continue the fight. He unsheathed the sword behind his back, revealing the clean sharp cut it would give the poor boy. Now Tsukaikishiba was charging back at Inuyasha being the offensive and having Inuyasha only to defend himself with his small rusty sword.

Back in Kagome's Time:

Kagome didn't get the chance to go back into the house to bring some essentials along, because her mother and the doctor was inside her living room talking…probably about future plans for each other. Kagome tried to rub off that thought in her head, but the only other thing that replaced that thought was what she witnessed between Inuyasha and Kikyo. No matter how she tried, that vision of both of them together really hit her hard in her heart. Even though she couldn't see Inuyasha's reaction to the kiss from behind his head, she could only imagine that he was responding to the kiss.

Kagome ran even harder down the streets hoping that running would keep her mind off of it…but she continued to cry. The streets were still dark…and because of all the pollution in her time, there was little light coming from the stars above to show her way. Moments later she felt weak…like her body wasn't working. Her ears proved deaf to her…the sounds of traffic far away couldn't be heard anymore and her vision started to show black spots even though there were none. This freaked her out even more…was she going to be blind? Was she going to be permanently deaf? She didn't know where she was running anymore, and didn't realize that she was running onto the road. Until she was in the middle of the road her legs couldn't move anymore, her knees buckled tempting to fall but she held strong. She couldn't hear the faint sound of honking near by, until she finally turned to her left. The last thing she saw was two bright lights heading her way…then darkness engulfed her.

Back in the Feudal Era:

Tsukaikishiba found an opening in one of Inuyasha's defences and threw him to the ground, sword pointing at his neck. Inuyasha held stiff, his Testaiga was had been thrown out of reach. He felt useless now, he was going to die from one of Naraku's pitiful incarnations, and all because it attacked on the very night he turned human. Inuyasha was prepared to let go of his life when he felt a tug on his heart. Something was wrong; it felt like someone was pulling onto his heart, ripping it from its cage. He knew in an instant that someone was hurt…more like Kagome was hurt. The strong bond between him and Kagome was telling him that he can't end his life yet…he needed to go and protect Kagome from whatever was hurting her.

Unconsciously he grabbed for his sheath at the nick of time when Tsukaikishiba struck down.

"What!" Tsukaikishiba was amazed by Inuyasha's determination, and that threw him off guard.

Inuyasha found his chance, while his sheath blocked Tsukaikishiba's sword, he pushed himself up and twisted around so that he was standing beside Tsukaikishiba, and in one swift movement he ripped the sword out of his hands and sliced the sword across his body cutting his enemy in half.

"How…" Tsukaikishiba trailed off as his body fell apart and blew off into dust in the wind.

Inuyasha didn't waste time to regard the dieing demon. He quickly grabbed his thrown Testaiga and headed towards the well.

"Damn it…I've been delayed for too long…Kagome please be safe…" He trailed off as he continued to run through the forest…searching for the only one he now knows he truly loves.

'Brings out Inuyasha in front of me' Go ahead and flame me for the big cliffy…I'm ready for you this time! Oh and please review if you don't want Inuyasha to whip your ass.
