Chapter 6: Getting Closer

"Yes, Hojo. He is the nicest, hottest, most protective . . ."

"I am far more protective for you than Homo will ever be! Don't you see, Kagome? You are the one I'll fight to protect . . ." Inuyasha said.

"Yeah, right, as soon as you see Kikyo you will run away again,and then I'll go for a 'walk'. Then, I'll find you two cuddling. When Kikyo walks away, you'll say the 'you're the only one for me' crap. Inuyasha, get out for the final time! I mean FINAL!" she said, her face turning red. Inuyasha seemed to be trying to hold back his tears, but before he could do so, they sprang out of his eyes.

"K-K-Kagome! Why? I- I . . ."

"OUT!" she screamed at him.

"You know what? Fine! If you don't love me the way I love you, why don't you crawl back into your own time!" he said, eyes full of tears from telling her the words of his heart.

"Master, they are very close. I can smell them," said Mauki.

"Yes, Mauki. I can see them. Killing Kagura and Kanna was indeed a good plan to get the mirror. The two are in a terrible fight. Hmmmm. Love. I can see the broken heart in the girl's body," Naraku said to Mauki.

"Are you sure you want to kill the girl?" Mauki said.

"If that is Inuyasha's path. If he chooses Kikyo, the other mortal dies. The other way round for the opposite path. This is most amusing. I will slaughter the woman he leaves, to make his life more and more difficult," Naraku said again, walking down a black sand path with Mauki.

"Master . . . Lord Inuyasha will slaughter you if you touch either girl," Mauki said, stumbling over a rock.

"He will never do such a thing. I will not let him. HE WILL NOT KILL ME!" Naraku screamed loudly.

"M-master? W-we're getting c-closer."
