chp 14
Inuyasha ran across the forest floor, the soft silver leaves cushioning his sore feet. Kagome was asleep at his back, her warm body pressed up against him gave him a sense of reason. Her soft raven hair floated in the wind, whipping around as they skidded to a stop. He immediately felt her begin to stur, and gently moved her into his open arms. She looked up at him, her brown eyes crusty at the rims, but still amazing in retrospect. She gave a small smile,"Morning..."
Inuyasha smiled, putting her down so she could stand up. She wobbled a bit, but he caught her arm. She rubbed her eyes, her mouth going into a big "O". She knelt her head on his shoulder, not wanting to wake up yet,"Coffee...need coffee..."
"What?"
"Nothing... where are we...why was I on your back?"
He chuckled,"Spur of the moment desison. You were already asleep though, I just brought you along."
"Why..." She was glaring daggars at him,"I could have slept..."
He got an annoyed look on his face," 'Cause I felt like it!"
"Don't yell!" She clasped her hands to her ears,"Too early!"
"What ever, you can walk now..."
He started off down another path, leaving Kagome stil rubbing away at her eyes,"Inuyasha," she whined," Don't leave me...alone..."
He turned around,"What the hell not?"
She couldn't think of a good answer, so she stayed silent, just looking at him, a pouty sad look on her face. She slightly protruded her bottom lip, and put her hands together. He curled his lower lip, and moaned," Dammit..."
He walked over and she smiled,"Thank you..."
"Yea yea..."
He knelt down, letting Kagome climb aboard his back. Once he had his hands securely on her thighs, the jumped up, heading towards the way Kikyo went. He didn't want to upset Kagome, not right when she woke up...
But something was going on, he smelt something so familiar he knew he should recognize it. He followed the scent, being able to taste the air through his senses. He smelt something that smelled like poison, but not quite so powerful. He worried for Kikyo, knowing that she was with whom ever that scent was. He trailed a little faster than before, as the scent began to thicken in the air.
"Inuyasha.."
He felt Kagome stur on his back,"What?"
"Do you feel that?"
He stopped realizing the stench in the air. He could feel the presense of a thousand demons near by, and also feel the pureness of Kikyo.
The next moments were in slow motion...
He saw an arrow speeding towards him, he was so deep in thought, he didn't hear the screech...
But Kagome had...
She used her legs to push off his back, succeeding in pushing him to the ground. A split second later, he heard the satisfied thump of an arrow going through a warm, soft body, shooting through her bones, tearing away at her flesh. He looked up, seeing the arrow embedded only inches from her heart, watching the shock on Kagome's face, her eyes were wide opened in pain, her mouth was opened, lips trembling...
She let out a startled sigh, and cried out in pain...
He watched her face die, watched as her lids closed. Her lips went back together, and her head fell to her chest. Her outstretched arm fell to her side, and her breath whisered away...
He bounced up, trying to take the arrow out of her shoulder, but it would not allow him to touch it. It ate away at his hand, trying to purify it. He seized it back, watching in horror as he realized Kagome was dieing...
He seized her face, begging her to come back to him. He rapidly shook her head, trying to joggle her back to life.
But she wouldn't wake up...
His eyes became wet with tears, not believing this was happening. His whole body went numb, his blood ran cold... everything seemed to stop in place. The color washed away from her cheeks, leaving her rosy cheeks pale, her lips a dry pink, and her eyelids purple. His breath came in heavy pants, and he squandered for breath.
He leaned against her chest, listening, praying...
And heard a soft heart beat...
His whole body rejoyced, realizing she was in slumber, not death. But it was only joy in retrospect to the fact he thoguht she was dead. When would she wake up, would she wake up?
Suddenly he realized the arrow was the thing keeping her asleep. And he could not remove it, he knew only a miko could...
And he had a bad feeling that the only miko he knew, was the one who shot her in the first place.

Kikyo walked down an unfamiliar walkway, confused. Where had she been just a few moments ago, she remembered Inuyasha being with her, then suddenly she couldn't remember what happened next. She looked around, seeing Inuyasha behind her. She breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he was there. She walked next to him, feeling his claws graze her arms.
"Kikyo..."
She looked up at him,"Yes..."
His eyes gleamed, almost like they held a secret. She felt his hands wrap tightly around her arms, pulling her closer to him. She thumped against his chest, feeling her body echo in pain. He just doesn't know his own strength...
She nuzzled her face against his chest, trying to feel the warmth. She sighed, trying to be happy. She should be grateful, that she had him. She felt his arms lift her up, seizing her lips effortlessly. She immediately closed her eyes, trying to feel the passion behind his lips. She begged for him to kiss her like he meant it, like he loved her
His lips ripped apart from hers, growling. He took her by the waist and began to run, toggling her behind. She felt his rock hard arms beat against her as she bounced in his grasp. She grimaced, her stomach being rubbed red. She tried to tell him to stop, but for some reason her words didn't reach him.
"Inuyasha! Stop, let me down!"
"Shut up!"
She was shocked at his words, had he ever been that harsh towards her? She twisted and turned, trying to make his arm open. She felt his speed quicken, and she painfully slipped out of his now loosened grasp. She fell to the ground, dirt staining her clothes. She bit her lip as pain filled her side. She groaned, and rolled onto her back...
"You idiot! What the hell are you thinking!" He hissed. He landed on the ground next to her, and ripped her up out of the dirt. She smarted as he pressed his rock hard arm against her sore rib cage. She felt tears squeeze out of her tightly shut eyes, it hurt so badly.
"Stop crying! Suck it up, you ARE a miko..."
Yes, I am a miko. I do need to regain myself, I do need to...
But it only made the tears roll faster, swifter than before. Her pain was now creeping into her heart, making her throat swell up and choke out her tears. Her heart beat faster, as he bounded away. Was this how she imagined it, was this what it was like to be happy? She thought Inuyasha was supposed to make her happy. This isn't anything like she had imagined it, nothing at all like her dreams...

Inuyasha followed Kikyo's scent, fury pumping through his veins. That bitch, how could she betray Kagome like that! How could she try to rip them apart like that. He wanted to tear her apart, he wanted to get more furious than he ever had before. He wanted to be angry, and he wanted his blood to boil. He wanted his heart to race, and his head to pound so hard he couldn't think...
But all he felt was the icy cold feeling running through his veins, the emptiness he felt. He wasn't complete without her, he wasn't alive without her. Why did she protect him, why didn't she just run away...
He stopped running, his body too distressed to grow angry. He fell the the ground, barely catching himself as he fell. His body filled with pain, and his throat squeezed his wind pipe. He couldn't breathe, and the tears were choked forcefully out of him. How could she leave him, why did she leave him alone again.
The pain that consumed him ate away at his soul, guilt, depression. Of course Kikyo was there, rubbing salt into the wounds. She constantly smiled in his thoughts, smiling as she shot an arrow, smiling as Kagome's bones were shattered from the arrow's tip, smiling at she drifted into a dead-like sleep. His hand clenched into a fist agaisn the ground, his claws leaving trenches wehre they dragged across the ground.
His voice was heavy, airy, as he spoke the solem word his body craved more than anything,"Kagome..." It was like a chant for him. It gave him power, gave him strength. He craved her, he desired her, that perfect woman...
Her raven hair, her dark brown eyes, her full rosy lips, her soft flushed cheeks. How warm she was...
And then to see her pale and dead, transforming right before his eyes. It tore him aparat, changed him into someone cold, someone hurt. All the good in his life seemed to disappear into a personal hell. He felt all his pain he had supressed until now choke out in shattered cries. He cried out to God, cried out to Him, blaming Him for this pain.
But he knew better, this wasn't His fault...
He bit his lip, and cried stinging tears that bled like drops of blood. He promised to never cry again, yet how could he stop them from flowing? His whole body cried, not just his eyes. He shook with no effort, and hiccuped from deep within. He hated it, he just wanted the pain to go away. And there was only one person who could do that job...
Unforetunately, she wasn't here right now...
