LAST TIME...

Crying...

THIS TIME...

CH. 20 LIEING TO KILL

That day, Kouga and I didn't go to school. We were in the same postion. Me in his arms. And him telling me everything would be okay. But I didn't know if he was so sure himself. I got out of Kouga's arms when he fell asleep mid-afternoon. I decided to hunt for Inuyasha's almost murder. The problem is: Who and how?

"But who would want Inuyasha dead?" I asked myself. I heard some footsteps. I was in the kitchen, with my back facing against the doorway. I looked outside and saw that there was a small drizzle. The owner of the footsteps wrapped their arms around me, and pulled me into a hug.

"You okay, Kags?" Souta asked. I chocked back a sob.

"Why does this keep happening to me? Why can't I be happy? Why do bad things happen to me?" I sobbed againt my younger brother's chest. He might be in 8th grade, but he sure was tall. He already reached my shoulder.

"Sometimes, bad things happen to good people." he murmured. Miroku came into the kitchen and his eyes soften at the look of us.

"Kags, please stop crying. I hate it when you cry." Miroku said . I sobbed and slid down to the floor.

"What do you expect me to do? My boyfriend was almost killed and I have no idea who the fuck was the one who tried to kill him." I said. Souta looked at me and smiled.

"What the fuck are you smiling at?" I snapped. Souta knelt down before.

"Kagome, you obviously forgot that you are the guardian of the Crystal and the Shikon No Tama." Souat said. I raised my eyebrow.

"So that means...?" I asked. Souta rolled his eyes.

"Have you forgotten some of the Crystal's powers?" he asked me. I started to ask another question when...

"Oh. Ooh. Ooooohhhhhhhh." I said. Souta's and Miroku's face brightened.

"I still don't get you." I said. Their faces fell.

"Kags, you can use the power of the Crystal to see who is Inuyasha's attempted murder." Miroku said. I nodded and stood up.

"Souta?"

"I'll go get it." He said as he went to fetch the Crystal. I smiled and went down to the basement. I saw that Inuyasha's bandages were red and changed them. I made sure to put extra herbs in it. He was healing, slowly, but still healing.

Menkotsu had told me that the bullet in Inuyasha's stomache had a special posion. It killed only half-demons and it spread quickly. If removed on time, the poison will slow down Inuyasha's ability to heal himself fater than humans.

So basically, either way, he was screwed.

"Woman, must you be so negative all the time?" Souta asked as he came downstairs.

"Shh." I said. I pointed at the still sleeping Kouga. We saw a bit of drool come out from the side of his mouth. We stiffled our laughs.

"Souta, please clean him up." I pleaded. Souta hesitated, but wiped away Kouga drool with a towel hehad found.

"Ugh. You so owe me sis. Anyways, here's the Crystal." Souta said as he handed Kagome a wooden box. Kagome muttered an incantation and the box opened. Inside, the Crystal was floating.

"For some reason, the Crystal has been so bright today." Souta observed.

"I wonder why?" I asked.

"I have no clue." Souta confessed.

"Maybe it's because you haven't used it in a long time." Miroku said as he came downstairs. I looked at him. He was onto something.

"What do you mean?" Souta and I asked at the same time.

"When was the last time you used the Crystal?" Miroku asked. He spotted Kouga, but said nothing about it.

"Um, when I met Sango and saw her past. It was an accident, really, but I still saw Sango's past." I said, scratching my head.

"And that was about a month and a half ago?" Souta asked.

"Exactly. And before you met Sango and used the Crystal, how long has it been since you used it?" Miroku asked again.

"Well, I would have to say about 2 and a 1/2 years." I said.

"Well, there's your answer." Miroku said. Souta and I looked at each other. Miroku was always the smart idiot in the family.

"Huh? Please explain to us." Souta said.

"You rarrely use the powers of the Crystal. So, the Crystal has so much power sotred within it and it knows that you are going to use it. So when you use the Crystal, some of the power will be released, making it glow with a tiny bit of less power." Miroku explained.

"Oh, I get it now." I said.

"I don't." Souta said. I rolled my eyes and took the Crystal out of the box.

"Miroku, explain it to him while I check up on what happened to Inuyasha." I said. He nodded and took Souta the furthest away from Inuyasha and I. They were still in the basement and waited until I had cast the spell and looked into Inuyasha's past to begin to talk.

I was careful when casting the spell because one little mistkae couldbe grave. I held the Crystal before my heart. I muttered the incantation and was immediately sweeped into the might that Inuyasha was injured.


X- What the Crystal showed Kagome

I saw Inuyasha was walking back home after dropping off Kagome. He was whistling to himself some sort of love song. I tried to call out to him, but I couldn't. I ran to him and tried to touch him, but I couldn't. I forogt that when you used the Crystal to check into someone's past, your spirit temporaryly leaves your body and when you check upon the person's past, no one can see you, hear you, or touch you.

Anyways, I saw Inuyash take a short cut through the Shikon Park. Weird how theynamed a park after a powerful neclace. I walked right besides Inuyasha, smiling sadly, knowing that this might be the last time he would be singing for a while. I choked back a sob and just decided to sit down on the ground. I sat crossed legged and watched as Inuyasha continued to walk, but then pause.

I sniffed the air and smelt it. The smell of moss. Dirt, clay, and of course, cheap perfume. It was Kikyo.

I saw her step out of the shadows and smirk when Inuyasha's cold glare landed on her.

"Hello, my dear Inuyasha." I heard her say. I growled and dived to hurt her, but I fell right through.

"What do you want?" he snapped.

"My, Inuyasha. You certainetely have a temper. But, I am willing to overpass that. I wonder if you have a temper in bed? Oh wait, you do." Kikyo smirked.

"So I slept with you a couple of time while we were dating. Big deal." Inuyasha said. I gasped and felt tears coming to my eyes. "I used to love you, but now I don't."

"And why is that?" she asked.

"Because, when I saw you and Naraku going at it in the locker room, I realzed how much of a slut you truly were." Inuyasha shouted. I laughed at the thought of Kikyo getting kinky with Naraku. But then I shuddered, realizing it wasn't so funny since Inuyasha had been going out with Kikyo at the time.

Kikyo pouted. "I told you he was forcing himself on me, but you didn't believe me. Not that it matters now, since you will always be mine."

Inuyasha snorted. "I don't belong to you. I belong to Kagome." I smiled at his words as black tears freely ran down my pale cheeks.

Kikyo's smug look dropped from her face and was replaced by an angered one. "You don't belong to Kagome or to anyone else besides me. That stupid girl is just a replacement for me while I was gone. But now, I'm back. So you could just drop that cheap 15 cent hamburger and come after the $500 steak." She said as she licked her lips.

I laughed out loud and nearly pissed myself. Kikyo had to stop so low to compare herself to meat! Inuyasha must have been thinkning the same, when he began to laugh.

"Never thought I would live to see the day when a 2 cent slut would compare herself to a pure and some what innocent miko." Inuyasha laughed.

"How sure are you that she's one hundred percent sure that she's still a virgin?" Kikyo asked.

"Yeah, I am. She told me everything that has happened to her. I know that Kagome is still pure and would never sleep around like you." Inuyasha said. I cheered him on and awaited Kikyo's repsonse.

"I don't sleep around." Kikyo defended her slutty behalf.

"Oh really, then tell me was you first?" Inuyasha asked. Kiyo remianed quiet until momets later she spoke again.

"You were my first, Inuyasha." she said.

"We both now that's not true. You weren't a virgin when we first had sex. You weren't pure." Inuyasha seethed. His hands were closed into a fist and he was struggling hard not to lose control.

"What went wrong, Inuyasha?" Kikyo asked quietly.

"I don't really know." Inuyasha answered quietly. I looked down to the ground.

"What would have happened if I never became what I am today?" Kikyo asked.

"Then I guess, maybe we could have survived." he answered. I gasped and began to cry.

"Really?" she asked.

"No. Because even then, I really doubt if we loved each other or if it was because we both were some what under estimated." Inuaysha said. I smiled sadly and cried.

"But what if we were really in love, Inuyasha. What would have happened?" she asked, stepping closer to Inuyasha.

"I...we...it still wouldn't have worked out. Kagome would have stilled moved here and eventually, we would have broken up and I would have gotten with her." Inuyasha said. I looked up at him, wishing that I could hug him and kiss him...

"But...I...Inuyasha, I still love you." Kikyo said.

"And I don't." Inuyasha said, unaffected by Kikyo's words.

"Why do you love her?" Kikyo asked.

"She's different. She's unique. Kagome is so strong, she doesn't take shit from anyone and she is so blunt, not liking to waste time. Yet, she's so nice and compassionate. Kagome is so different and stands out no matter what." Inuyasha said without hesitation.

"Leave her. Leave her for me." Kikyo said.

"No." Inuyasha said without blinking.

"Why?"

"Becuase I love her and I don't love you." Inuyasha said.

"You're making a big mistake." Kikyo said. She pulled out a gun that she had in her back.

"What are you doing?" Inuyasha asked. He stepped back as Kikyo stepped forward. I ran to Inuyasha and covered his body with mine, yelling at Kikyo to leave him alone. Unfortuanely, no one could hear, smell, or see me.

"Doing something that could benefit us all." Kikyo said. She pulled the trigged, but the bullet just zoomed by Inuyasha's arm, leaving a huge gash. Inuyasha pressed his good arm against the wound to stop the bleeding.

"How will this benefit you?" Inuyasha asked, stepping back as Kikyo stepped forward.

"Easy. You'll no longer be with that retched girl. After I kill you, I'll kill myself. That way, we both burn in Hell for all eternity." Kikyo said as she laughed.

"Do you even know what retched means?" Inuyasha asked. I began to laugh. "Kikyo, you're such a fool. Besides, a couple of bullets can't kill me directly."

"Actually, these can. They have a special poison that stops you demon blood from healing you." Kiyko smirked.

"God damn, you're fucking crazy." Inuyasha said. He turned around and started running to the shrine. Unfortuantely, Kikyo summoned all her energy and threw a fire ball at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha stumbled to the ground and ome leaves and branches scratched him. Kikyo smirked and flipped him over.

"Say good-bye." Kikyo said as she shot Inuyasha a couple of times in the stomache. I had to do something before she completely killed him. I summoned all my energy and tried to make faint sirens. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make the sound.

Then, we all heard real sirens. Kikyo jumped up, startled, and began to run. Inuyasha tried to stand up. When he did, he began walking, or rather limping to the shrine. I closed my eyes, not able to see anything else.

X- Back in the Real World.


I jumped back from Inuyasha's body and tripped over my own feet. Miroku, Souta, and the now awake Kouga rush to me, trying to make me stand up.

"Kagome, what did you see?" Miroku asked. My entire body was shaking.

"Kikyo...she...she..tried ...to...kill...Inuyasha..." I sobbed. Miroku, Kouga, and Souta comforted me that entire after noon until Shippo came home and I stopped crying to be strong for him.

However, before I went with Shippo, they made me promise. They made me promise not to kill her. They made me promise not to do anything. And I did promise.

But all promises are meant to be broken...


X- Same Night at Midnight

I was lying in bed, thinking about what I should do. I looked at my room and saw drakness. I got up, and changed into some loose black pants and a black tank top. I my hair in a high ponytail and put on some ninja shoes. (Okaym you know the shoes that Sesshomaru wears in the show? Those are ninja shoes. I think.)

I went downstairs to the basement, without making any noise. I saw Inuyasha's sleeping form and I walked over to him. I leaned over his form and kissed his forehead.

"I'll be back. Soon." I promised as I went back up, into my weaponary room and got my katanas. I also got my staff. I quitely left using the back door and went to the garage and got on my motorcycle. I began to think where would I find Kikyo. I snapped my fingers as I rode out to hunt a cetain slut...


I AM SO SORRY I HAVE NOT UPDATED IN A LONG TIME. PLEASE FORGIVE ME. I AM SO SORRY. I WILL TRY TO UPDATE MY SOTRIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BUT IT'S JUST THAT SCHOOL, AND MY FRIENDS, AND ALL THE FIGHTS I GET INTO. I AM SO SORRY, I SWEAR THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENS.
