Author's Note: Sorry for the lack of updates! I just had to put this on hold for a bit so I could finish my other fic! It's completed now so I should be udpating this one quite frequently.
Now:
Standing directly behind them, were none other than Kikyo and InuYasha. Kagome stood stunned for a moment. She couldn't believe it. Then, she looked at InuYasha. She studied his face. He didn't look happy or cocky. His eyes had that deadened look to them. A million thoughts filled Kagome's head. When InuYasha had left her he hadn't been mean to her. In fact, she remembered seeing a hint of regret in his eyes as he told her to go. But he had chosen to go with Kikyo. So why wasn't he happy?
"Kagome, what are you doing here? I thought I told you to go back to your own time." InuYasha said after a long silence.
"I wanted to come back and avenge Sango and Miroku, and if I want to come back to this time then I can. You don't own me InuYasha." Kagome said.
"But you don't understand, Naraku..." InuYasha said trailing off.
"We can handle Naraku." Kagome said putting an emphasis on we and nodding in the spirit detective's direction. InuYasha remembered them from before and he hadn't really liked them. Yusuke and Kurama we're alright, but Kuwabara was annoying and he hated Hiei.
"Just what are you doing here anyway, half demon?" Hiei asked. He saw annonyance flicker across InuYasha's face for a moment and smirked.
"We're on our way to pay Naraku a visit and we just happened to come across your camp site." InuYasha said.
"Enough of this. Let's take their jewel shards and go, InuYasha." Kikyo said and she took one of her arrows out of her quiver and fired it at Kagome. Kagome quickly dodged it.
"Hey, what was that for?" She yelled angrily.
"You're of no use to us, but your jewel shards are! Now give them to me!" Kikyo said shooting another arrow. "Help me InuYasha!" Kikyo demanded. InuYasha was torn. The Kikyo he knew, the one he fell in love with fifty years ago, would never do something like this. "She's changed. She's bitter and obsessed with revenge." InuYasha thought. And wasn't the reason he told Kagome to go home to protect her and keep her from dying? He still had feelings for Kikyo, but he also respected Kagome. Kikyo wasn't the same anymore. InuYasha decided to help neither side but just watch.
"Why won't you help me, InuYasha?" Kikyo asked dodging Kurama's rosewhip.
"Feh." Was InuYasha's reply. Kikyo's eyes widened as she looked at him. She was so stunned by his uncaring response that she didn't have time to dodge Hiei who slashed her with his katana. He cut her right across her heart so that she would die almost instantly.
"Damn you...InuYasha." Kikyo said as collapsed in a pool of her own blood.
"Sorry, Kikyo, but your not the same women I fell in love with fifty years ago." InuYasha said looking at the dying priestess. One lone tear fell down his face as Kikyo took her last breath. Everyone stood in silence for a moment. Kagome was stunned and sad and the same time. She hadn't really liked Kikyo, but she didn't want her to die. There was nothing she could do about it though, and she had to admit, she was glad to have her out of the way.
"So where are you guys headed too?" InuYasha asked.
"Well, we were going to find Kouga and ask for his help." Yusuke said.
"Feh, we don't need Kouga's help." InuYasha said.
"We? So you think you can just join us, just like that, after what you did to Kagome?" Yusuke asked coldly.
"Well I've got nothin better to do, besides, I don't need your help, I just thought you guys could use mine." InuYasha said, his pride getting the best of him.
"Well, I don't care one way or the other if he joins us, so the decisions yours, Kagome." Yusuke said turning to Kagome. Kagome thought about it for a moment. InuYasha had hurt her, but he hadn't been cruel. And she did still like him as a friend, and maybe they could use his help.
"Alright, but your going to have go along with whatever we decide to do if your going to stay with us." Kagome said looking at InuYasha.
"Feh." He responded. Kagome took that as a yes.
"Let's go get Kouga, then." Kagome said as she climbed onto her pink bike. InuYasha flew above everyone and the spirit detectives all ran along side Kagome.
Yes, Kikyo died. Mwhahahahaha. I'm sorry but I just couldn't resist. I really don't like her. I also apologize for the lack of updates. I have to go now but I promise I'll update soon!
Thursday Addams.
