Chapter 7 : Kagome and Kikyo Are in Trouble

"Kikyo? Kikyo, are you here?" a small village girl said nervously.

"KIKYO? Kikyo, where are you- Kikyo, why are you crying?" said Mya, the young villager.

"A very long story, Mya. I do not want to scare you," Kikyo said, more tears flowing from her eyes.

"I am not scared! Kikyo, tell me!" Mya said, very angry.

"The- the one I love does not love me back. He loves another woman, one he seems deeply in love with. I cannot be a jealous woman, for he shared his love with me for quite a long while, until that mortal came and threw it away!" Kikyo said, standing up.

"Kikyo, are you saying that you are not mortal? You must be! You are the respected lady who loves and cares for the village! You cannot be a- a mutant!" Mya said, staring at Kikyo.

"A mortal I may not be, for it is known that the heart is a thing every living creature has. Since I am no longer in the world of the living, you might say that I no longer have a heart. Young Mya, you are wrong. I have a heart. You will be of my type soon." When Kikyo finished, she took out her bow and then her arrow, and shot Mya through the chest.

"Lady Kikyo, why . . . " and those were Mya's last words.

"As the girl was a brave one, I will leave her soul."

Meanwhile,

"Kagome, are you coming?" Sango yelled back to the hut.

"She'll never come in time. Lets leave," Inuyasha said stubbornly.

"You can go. I am waiting like a friend would do. Unlike you, I am a very patient, and well taught to respect others. You though, you don't know what the word 'respect' means . . ." she said.

"Coming!" Kagome said cheerfully, ignoring the fact that Inuyasha was there.

"What, no . . . it can't be . . . " Inuyasha said, sticking out his nose and picking up a familiar scent.

"What is it now, Inuyasha? Kikyo coming? No? Lemme guess, scary demon? Ohhhh you think I'm scared, huh? Well, I'm not!" Kagome said stubbornly.

"No, get out of here quick," he said.

"Hmmmm! Guess Kikyo is coming!" Kagome said, very mad.

"No you idiot . . . it's Naraku!" Oh no, Naraku . . . what if he is here to take Kagome? He said to protect her . . . and I do! It's because I love her, and can't bear to watch another woman die.

"Hello Inuyasha," Naraku said coldly, and to Inuyasha's surprise, he had Kikyo lying on the ground behind him, out cold.

"Have you been following my advice? T his wench here was crying because she said she loved you, and the one behind you has a hole in her heart. You know why that is, Inuyasha? Because you broke it. You slaughtered her heart. It pains her every thought and action. I thought you cared for her," he said again.

"I do care for her, that's why I won't let you touch her!" said Inuyasha, being the protective hunk he was (in Kagome's world).

"Then why do you injure her?" Naraku said.

"I did not injure her! She was the one who injured me! She made me cry the first time I knew I loved her, but that changed. She started to make up all this . . ."

"Silence. Bring her to me."

"Never!"

"Bring her."

"NEVER!"

"Your choice," Naraku said, and stabbed Inuyasha so thathe fell hard. Naraku grabbed Kagome and Kikyo, and was off.
