Chapter 5- Confrontation
The next morning, Kagome awoke to the sound of rain rapping against her roof. She walked over to the window to see nothing but gray. This is a great morning to feel bad… she thought. She looked to her bed; it reminded her of the day Inuyasha slept there. She looked over to her desk; it reminded her of when Inuyasha was looking through her scrapbook that was filled with pictures taken of her friends and family. She then turned to her alarm clock; it reminded her of when Inuyasha came in the middle of the night while she was asleep and he destroyed it. Buyo was resting next to her bed. He reminded her of when Inuyasha was playing with him for oh-so many times. She looked to her jewel shards, and they reminded her of all the adventures she and Inuyasha had together. All of the times they shared, good or bad. Kagome couldn't stand it anymore. Everything reminded her of Inuyasha. But she was never going to see him again. Not for a long, long time. She collapsed to the floor in tears. "Inuyasha..." she mouthed. She covered her face as the tears came down faster and faster each time.
"Get up...you stupid girl," she heard a familiar voice say. Kagome stopped crying and looked up to see a boy in a red haori with long white hair and dog ears. "Inu...yasha?" she sniffed, wiping away tears. She jumped up and hugged him. "Oh Inuyasha! I hoped that you would come back for me!" she laughed. "Release him," another voice said. Kagome gasped. She looked up into Inuyasha's eyes. His icy glare gave her shivers up her spine. "Who said that?" she asked confusedly, looking around the room. Just then, and young woman in a priestess robe and long black hair, much like her own, appeared behind Inuyasha. "K-Kikyo!" she gasped. The priestess smiled. "I'm flattered that you remember my name," she smiled. "Inuyasha? Why did you bring her here?" Kagome asked him. Kikyo glared at her. "Do not bother him with such questions…" she said scornfully. She wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck from behind him and rested her head on his shoulder. Kagome swallowed deeply. "He chose to bring me here, after all, he does love me, no?" Kagome shook her head as tears welled up. Her heart began to slowly pick up pace as if she were going to die at any second. "W-What are you t-talking about…?" she asked hesitantly. Kikyo's brown eyes opened and she looked to the jewel shards on Kagome's night table. "You know what…at times, I was actually jealous of you, a weak replica of myself," Kikyo laughed. "I guess I didn't really have anything to worry about, it wasn't as if you were any competition…" Kagome couldn't believe what she was hearing. She turned to Inuyasha, who was just standing there in a complete daze. "But I'll never have to worry about you again…" the priestess grimaced.
The rain outside of her window began to fall harder and thunder crashed. Kagome winced and then looked at Kikyo again. "What're you talking about?" she asked her. "It's really simple, I'm going to take your jewel shards so you won't ever be able to return to our home. And you won't ever come between Inuyasha and I again," she sneered. Kagome couldn't find herself to speak. "Everything was fine…until you showed up. At times, I even feel disgusted that a being like you was ever reincarnated from someone like myself. The only reason Inuyasha ever loved you was because whenever he looked into your eyes, he saw a piece of me living inside of you…because you look almost exactly like myself. You were never the one that Inuyasha wanted, for he always longed for me, even when I was dead…" "You're wrong!" Kagome shouted, cutting Kikyo off. "Inuyasha had always loved you, that's true, but he had gotten over you for a short period of time…and he was in love with me! I'm sorry if I ever got between you two!" Kikyo snarled and gritted her teeth, staring at Kagome, her arms still around Inuyasha's neck. Lightning struck as the thunder grew louder. "That's why I left! I never wanted to be a burden to anyone! Never! But there's one thing that I can't change, and that's my love for Inuyasha! I know that I could never love him as you did! That's why I'll never try!" Kikyo smirked at Kagome's words. "That's very touching…are you done now?" she asked her, still smiling. Inuyasha bent his head down and closed his eyes, smiling as well. Kagome gasped as the tears that swelled up began to fall at a slow pace. "If you really don't want to come back, then I'll grant your wish and take the jewel shards from you. You can live here in your own time for the rest of your pathetic life." Kikyo began to walk over to Kagome's nightstand to retrieve the jewels. Kagome ran over to the table and snatched up the shards before Kikyo could get to them. "I won't let you have these! I won't!" she shouted at her. The thunder and lightning crashed again. Kagome's tears flowed faster.
"Why you pretentious little--okay, I guess we'll have to take them from you by force…I was hoping that we could avoid confrontation, but you just won't let that happen."
"You'll have to kill me before I ever let you have these shards of the Shikon Jewel!"
Kikyo smiled. "That's exactly what I intend to do…" she laughed. She walked over to Inuyasha and put her lips up to his ear. "Transform…" she whispered. Just then, Inuyasha's hair began to flow unnaturally and he started yelling. His demon blood rushed through his veins, and he didn't hold back. Two purple stripes came from either side of his cheeks; his eyes grew a crimson color, his irises becoming a light blue. Kagome stared in shock. This is just like my dream…why won't my feet move…C'mon Kagome, RUN! she shouted in her head. Inuyasha's nails grew at a strange rate and they became sharp. There was no stopping him this time. There was nothing that she could do, or was there? "Inuyasha, sit boy!" Kagome shouted. Inuyasha was still standing. "What! I- I don't understand! Why didn't he sit?" she said confused. "It's also really simple, I knew you would try that little dog trick on Inuyasha, so I changed that necklace around his neck some. Now, instead of you, I am in control. And, unlike you, he likes when I'm in control," Kikyo laughed. Kagome shook her head in disbelief. "No…it can't be…" she cried, covering her mouth. A crash of lightning hit and all of the lights went out. Kagome screamed. Kikyo cackled. Inuyasha growled. "Kill her…get the jewel shards for me! For us!" she shouted, pointing at Kagome. Inuyasha glared at Kagome and pounced at her. Luckily, she jumped out of the way just in time. She screamed again and ran out of the room. Inuyasha crashed into her closet, knocking the door over. "Get her! Don't let her escape!" Kikyo yelled, pointing out of the room. Her hair began to flow as the window burst open with a loud thrash of lightning and thunder right behind it.
Kagome continued to run throughout her house. She ran into her mother's room. "Mama!" she shouted. She heard growling and turned to see a large shadow running behind her. She whimpered and kept running. She ran into a wall and flew down the steps. "Gramps! Sota! Anybody!" she screamed. Inuyasha jumped from the top of the steps to the bottom. Kagome held the shards so close to her that they were almost invisible. She clenched them in her fist tightly and ran a little bit faster. Kikyo left the room and watched the chase from a safe distance. "KILL HER INUYASHA! BRING ME BACK HER JEWEL SHARDS!" she laughed maniacally. Inuyasha snarled and went to tackle Kagome again. She jumped out of the way just as she did before, but didn't get away without a bruise. His claws cut through her pajama pant leg. Some blood trickled down and stained the pajamas. She ran toward her door and tried to pull it open. It wasn't budging. She ran over to a window and tried to lift it, but there was no use. "Why won't anything open?" she screamed. Kikyo laughed louder as her eyes grew a deep shade of red. "Kill her Inuyasha! Kill her now!" she shouted to him. Inuyasha ran after Kagome again. He was putting all of his effort into it this time. Kagome limped into the kitchen and attempted to open the kitchen door or windows, but it was done in vain. There was no way for her to get out of the house. She grabbed a knife out of the silverware drawer and ran into the living room again. Kikyo looked down at her. "You can't run for long, girl…you can't escape, you can't resist your own death," the crazed woman said. Inuyasha came at Kagome and knocked the knife to the floor. Kagome screamed. Inuyasha picked up the knife. She started to run, but she froze in place. A sharp pain went through her back. She turned slowly and fell to her knees. She looked behind her to see the knife that she once had in her possession now in her back. Inuyasha smirked, as did Kikyo. The jewel shards flew from her hand as she fell completely to the floor. Blood overflowed from her mouth as she heard footsteps coming toward her. It was Inuyasha. "Inu…yasha? Why…?" she choked. He picked up the jewel shards and the last that she saw was Kikyo and Inuyasha's sneering faces, laughing at her.Then, she was gone.
Kagome tossed and turned in her bed, moaning. It was still only late night, around 1am. "Inuyasha…please no…" she said in her sleep. "Kagome…wake up," a voice said to her. She slowly opened her eyes to see Inuyasha standing overtop of her. She gasped and flew to the backboard of her bed. "Kagome?" he said. He went to touch her, but she only moved away from him more. Inuyasha's eyes widened. "Kagome…I'm so sorry," he murmured. She looked at him, teary-eyed. She began to bawl as she reached out and hugged him, pulling him down on her bed. "Inuyasha!" she cried. He rubbed her head in order for her to calm down. She only cried harder. "Inuyasha, I-I'm s-so sorry, I don't hate you, I'm sorry those words ever escaped from me…" she cried. Inuyasha held her close. "It's okay, you had the right to hate me…I shouldn't have said all of those awful things. Kagome, I love you and there's no questions asked," he said. Kagome gasped and stopped hugging him.
The only reason Inuyasha ever loved you was because whenever he looked into your eyes, he saw a piece of me living inside of you…
You were never the one that Inuyasha wanted…
"Kagome?" Kagome lowered her head. "You never loved me…I know that you still love Kikyo…I know that you only love me because I look like Kikyo…" she whispered. Inuyasha lifted Kagome up and kissed her. Then, he held her close. "Shut up…" he said sternly, "I don't want to ever hear you say that again…Kagome, I love you for who you are, not because of who you look like." Kagome inhaled deeply and put her arms around him. "If you ever say that again, I swear I'll rip those words from your soul," he said. She smiled and closed her eyes. "Thank you, Inuyasha," she mumbled. He gave a smirk. "I've come to bring you back…" he said. "Everyone's worried sick about you, and Sango just might kill me if I don't bring you back…" Kagome giggled and wiped her eyes. Sango…I knew she was my best friend… "I have to go to the bathroom," she said, trying to break free of Inuyasha's grasp. Inuyasha's face turned to a disgusted one. He let her go. "I don't think I really needed to know that," he said, crossing his arms. "I'll only be a second," she said, leaving the room.
With Kagome
Kagome turned on the bathroom light and washed her face. She looked into the mirror. Just then, she could've sworn she caught a glimpse of Kikyo. Or, was it a reflection of herself? Just then, the picture of Kikyo came back.
"Your nothing but a weak replica of myself…" the mirror Kikyo said. "Everything was fine…until you showed up…he always longed for me, even when I was dead… you won't ever come between Inuyasha and I again…I will destroy you, from the inside out!"
Kagome's eyes enlarged as she threw water on her face again. She looked back up to the mirror to see only herself. No one else was there. She sighed in relief and grabbed a towel to wipe her face dry and turned off the light. When she walked into the room, she found Inuyasha sleeping on her bed, just as he once did before in an earlier time. She grinned and climbed in next to him, being sure not to get too close, then shut her eyes. Inuyasha felt her warm body next to his and pulled her closer. Her eyes shot open and she smiled. They both fell asleep in complete contentment.
To be Cont.
