Last Time:

"Do not interfere, this is my fight and I alone shall fight it. But Inuyasha you must understand that the second that her arrow is shot I will not hesitate to kill her fake body. If you want to save her may walk over there and fight against us." Everyone looked at Inuyasha. He looked at Kagome, then back at Kikyo.

He took a step forward…

Now:

Inuyasha looked at Kikyo with pity and stood his ground, "I'm sorry Kikyo, but if you are on Naraku's side I can't help you. I'm sorry." He said as he turned his back to her and walked to Kagome and took her hand. Kagome blushed and smiled at him. Kikyo glared at Inuyasha.

"Fine, but you shall die as well." She said with a cold voice that sent shivers down Inuyasha's spine. He held Kagome's hand tighter. Kagome nodded to Yoshio. He turned to Kikyo and took his fighting stance. She glared at him.

She let her arrow fly.

Yoshio lifted his forearms and blocked it. Kikyo's eyes widened. Yoshio smirked and ran for her with his demonic speed. Kikyo glared at him and knocked another arrow. Then she noticed the children still standing in the ash of the house huddled together. She bowed her head.

"Kami forgive my sin." Kagome caught this and looked at the children, she gasped and let go of Inuyasha's hand. "No! Kikyo don't you dare!" Kikyo glared and shot her arrow at the children. Yoshio gasped and turned to them with a shock/worried gaze. Kagome ran to them as the arrow flew through the air. She got in front of them with her arms spread wide. Tears fell from her cheeks. Inuyasha gasped,

"No!" He and Yoshio yelled at the same time. The children gasped. The arrow pierced Kagome's chest straight on. Everyone gasped and watched as Kagome's body fell to the ground with a sacred arrow sticking out from her chest. Inuyasha and Yoshio ran to her, the children started to cry.

"Miss Kagome!" Ryo cried. Kagome smiled at him and tried to talk but blood dripped from her mouth. She looked at Yoshio as she felt him put his hands on her chest around the arrow. He whispered something and light came form his hands as the arrow lifted out on its own and fell. The light was gone and not a single scar where it hit her but Yoshio's body was tired from the energy he used to save her. Kikyo saw this and let a smile grace her lips.
