The Death Of.

~*~Previously~*~
"Kagome? What are you doing? What have you done?" He yelled. Everything seemed to recoil from Kagome. Kagome begins to take out an arrow and then points it straight at Inuyasha.
"Taking my revenge." Her lips turned up into a smile full of malevolence. The arrow begins to glow a tainted purple green.
"Kagome?"
"I've been waiting to do this a long time Inuyasha. Nothing can stop me now." The bow creaks as its wielder draws back on the bow.
"Kagome, what's wrong with you! You're not making sense!" Inuyasha couldn't begin to fathom what was happening.
"Inuyasha.I'm not Kagome.I'm Kikyo.and that pathetic copy, is no more" She let loose her arrow.
~*~*~Present Time~*~*~ * * *
"NO!" Kagome screeched. The voice sounding more like hers than the combination of hers and Kikyo's. Her arrow was loosened and hits the tree behind Inuyasha, a mere few inches from his head.
"No! This body is mine now! You can not have it!" Kikyo screamed. Her hands were covering her ears. Wind was swirling around her and light was pulsing out of her body.
"You.Can.NOT.have it!" She screamed and another wave of energy coursed through the air, and it whipped Inuyasha's long hair behind him. Kikyo stood up and looked at Inuyasha. Her smirk returned.
"I control this body. It's mine now." Inuyasha growled.
"Give Kagome back her body now or else."
"Or else what? You'll kill me? If you do that, than you will also kill her as well. No Inuyasha, you will not kill me, but I will kill you!" She cried and with a sword that seemingly came out of now where, she lunged at Inuyasha. Inuyasha jumped into the air and dodged that attack as well. A few silver hairs fell to the ground. ` ` ` She's almost as fast as me.but how.what am I going to do.I couldn't kill her.ever.but how can I stop her without hurting her. ` ` `
"You can't run away for long. You will tire and I will not. Then you will die." Kikyo's voice rang out. She lunged again. Inuyasha dodged. Kikyo's arms swept up into a crescent to hit Inuyasha who backed up, barely escaping its edge, and then the blade began to sweep in a downward arc, but her hand was caught.
"I won't let you do this."
"What's wrong Inuyasha? I thought that this is what you wanted? For me to have my body back."
"But this isn't your body! It's Kagome's!" Kikyo's nails swiped at Inuyasha's face He pushed her back. She hit the tree that was behind her. Her eyes turned a dark smooth brown, and pain covered her face as a gasp escaped through her mouth. She fell to the ground.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha rushed to her and embraced her. The end of a sharp silver blade ran through his shoulder, and he was pushed back.
"You see, I can fight you forever and not feel pain. Only that pathetic girl will feel the pain. Every hit, cut, or broken bone is what she will feel and all she will see is you doing it to her. Her soul will soon break and you will die." Kikyo let out a shrill laugh.
"No! I won't.allow it." He gasped. The blade had barely missed his heart. Probably the work of Kagome who still showed some control inside her body.
The battle raged on until the point where Inuyasha could barely stand anymore. Kikyo was growing impatient. He had not struck her once. He had either dodged or accepted the attack given to him. She could not understand it. Her dark soul would not allow her to understand.
"Draw your sword Inuyasha, or else I might feel guilty killing a helpless half demon like you." Inuyasha stood there, not even attempting to unsheathe Tetsusaiga. Kikyo snorted in disgust. A bow suddenly appeared in her hands, along with four new arrows.
"I said, draw your sword!" She yelled as a twang was heard and three arrows flew past Inuyasha. The fourth one hit Inuyasha in the shoulder. Inuyasha dropped to the ground on one knee. It was all he could do to stay that way and concentrate on what was happening around him.
"You're pathetic. I might as well finish you off right now."
"Hiraikotsu!" came a yell from the forest. The Hiraikotsu suddenly appeared. Kikyo turned around. Her hand flew in front of her face calmly and a shield was made, deflecting the boomerang. Sango shakily fell to the ground. Her energy had been put completely into that attack.
"Oh, I see a few friends have come to help you." She said amused. She made five arrows appear out of thin air this time and cocked those as well to her bow. Before any other movement could be made, Sango found herself pinned to a tree, unable to move, but alive.
"No Sango!" Miroku yelled running to the tree that held Sango captive, he was about to attempt at pulling the arrows out.
"Miroku behind you!" Sango cried as she looked past his shoulder.
"Fox fire!" yelled the little Kitsune, and the arrows became ash in the wind. Kikyo frowned in annoyance. Miroku was standing facing her in a fighter's stance. Kirara was snarling. Kirara was the first to move and leaped into the air at her.
Twang! Another arrow flew.
"NO!" Why can't I hit them! Why can't I kill them!"? She cried in frustration. As Kirara fell to the ground, and arrow in her side and a deep wound, though not a fatal one.
"Because Kagome won't let you. They're her friends. She would never hurt them." Inuyasha muttered weakly. Kikyo stepped right up to his face, pulling his hair so they would be eye to eye.
"I am in control, do you hear me! There is no Kagome! What's left of her is her body and her broken soul, soon to be done away with. Once I'm done with.Ahhh!" she shrieked. Kagome's eyes appeared, and then disappeared. Dropping Inuyasha to the ground, she pulled out the dagger and had it held to Miroku's throat in an instant. Blood began to pour down her shoulder from where the Holy Staff had struck her.
"Monk, you will pay for that dearly. I think I will start by killing that girl."
"No you won't." Miroku said confidently.
"Oh, and why not? Do you think as well that Kagome will stop me? You are more pathetic than Inuyasha. I have control of her body and all that remains."
"Lady Kagome, you can fight her. I know you can. You must, or else Kikyo will kill everyone. Even Inuyasha." He whispered hoping his dear friend would have the strength to fight.
"No! I won't let you! You will not be free! This will remain my body!" Kikyo yelled as she dropped to her knees. Her eye color kept changing back and forth. First Kikyo was in control, than Kagome. Purple light surged everywhere, sometimes darker, sometimes lighter, all of it coming from Kagome's body. Kagome was trying to fight Kikyo.
"NO!" She screeched. The dark purple light lashed out and threw Miroku into Sango, knocking them both unconscious. Shippo, who had been taking out the arrows in Inuyasha carefully, was thrown back, the last part of the arrow landing on the ground besides Inuyasha. Everything was calm then. No sound. Kikyo stood in the middle of the forest. The clouds in the sky swirling angrily.
(A/n When Inuyasha and Kikyo had been fighting, it eventually leads to the middle of the forest, and it didn't stay in the village.)
A wicked smile danced across her face. She turned to the half dead Hanyou.
"Now, I shall kill you." She picked up her bow, and made one more arrow appear in her hand.
"Please.before.before you .do this.please.will you do.me.one.last.thing?" Inuyasha gasped as he painfully stood up. Kikyo's face became placid. She lowered her bow, but didn't attempt the remove the arrow. She stared at him for a long moment.
"I suppose I can't deny giving even someone as you a last request." Inu closed his eyes and then opened them.
"A kiss.one.last.kiss." Kikyo's eyes were a tumult of emotion. Often changing from the light brown to a speckled brown, with chocolate brown around the pupil. Before she could speak, Inuyasha was a mere few inches from her and slowly dropped his head to meet her lips. The broken arrow in his hand was glowing a soft red and purple, and it slid easily into her side. Her eyes flew open as she pushed Inuyasha away.
"You bastard." She hissed. She looked at her side and touched the arrow. A deep light purple and red surrounded her.
"NO!" she yelled. Kikyo's wicked soul flew out of Kagome's body. Kagome swayed to and fro, but even as weak as he was, Inuyasha caught her, only to drop to his knees while doing so.
"You stupid, pathetic Hanyou. She will die! You may have gotten rid of me, but she will die Inuyasha!" Kikyo's voice sounded through out the forest, only to disappear.
"No, Kagome!" he whispered. He pulled out the arrow in her side with gentle care. Kagome's eyes opened a little.
"Inu.Inuyasha?" She whispered.
"Kagome, I'm so sorry, I."
"Shhhh, Inuyasha, I'm glad you did what you did. Now Kikyo can't hurt any more people. .Using.me." She said between sharp breaths of air. Blood began to drip out of her mouth and down her chin.
"No Kagome, You can't die.Kagome!" Inuyasha wept. The clouds roared in anger and rain began to fall. Inuyasha's breath rose and fell with hers.
"Inuyasha." Kagome whispered and exhaled. Soon Inuyasha was gasping for breath after a moment, but Kagome was not, instead, her chest was still and silent. The bracelet on her wrist shattered and fell to the ground, but Inuyasha hardly paid attention to this.
"Kagome.Kagome." Inuyasha whispered, his face full of worry, and fear.
"NO! KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled into the sky. His voice so sad and mournful. It rang from valley to forest, and mountain.
***
Kouga looked up from his hunting.
"No Kagome!" was the cry he heard. His wolf pack looked up as well. Many had tears in their eyes, it sounded so sad.
"Kagome." Kouga whispered and ran through the forest recklessly. ` `
If anything happened to my women mutt face..I'll kill you.
` ` ***
In another territory far from where Keade's village lay, a she wolf demon also heard the cry, which reverberated through her heart. She did not need ears to hear the sound made when a loved one has died. Her red, pigtailed hair swayed in the wind, and water droplets filled her green eyes before they fell down her face.
"Ayame, did you hear that? It was so sad." Said another she wolf demon from her pack. Her soft pale brown hair, which was braided swayed in the wind as well, her pale blue/green eyes filled with water.
"What do you think it was?" sobbed the she wolf demon on Ayame's other side. This woman had black hair tied back in a half-pony tail. Blond strands framed her face. The whole wolf pack was quiet.
"That was the sound of some ones broken heart, crying out, right after their love died." She said calmly, but more tears came and slid down her face. She finally began to make her journey towards the direction it came from, her heart telling her that it was right.
***
Kanna's feet were stilled as she looked up into the sky. Though her face remained emotionless, a single tear tread down her face, and she continued with her travels.
***
Not even the woeful call escaped Naraku's ears. He looked up.
"So then, Kikyo is dead, along with that girl." He said. His face contorted in rage.
"Inuyasha, you will die!" He vowed as he clutched the Shinkon no Tama, which radiated a dark nearly black color from his grasp. Every single being around the castle stopped and listened to the last echoes that rang through the sky. Soon, they went back to their business.
