Inuyasha's Redemption Chapter Six

Disclaimer: As much as I wish I did I don't own Inuyasha. But maybe if I start saving up….

Kagome's POV

I sit on the hill and listen to Inuyasha's tale.

"When I…I went to hell…." He says and I interrupt.

"With Kikyo." I say coldly.

"Yes. With Kikyo." He agreed sadly. "It was horrible Kagome. The demons there are worse then the demons up here. They put you through the worst torture you could ever imagine. It's like a permanent nightmare. And Kikyo…In one of my more lucid moments I noticed that she wasn't there. The demons there laughed at me how she had only been there for an extremely short amount of time before she left. She left. I put myself into that torture-for nothing!" his voice is filled with anguish, yet it doesn't soften my heart towards him-much.

"I stayed there for over a year. In that time…They tore me, my soul apart and I'm still struggling to put it back together. It did help me with one thing and that one thing is worth all the pain I went through." He looks in my eyes and the honesty and love in them scare me. "I realized how I feel for you. I realize that I didn't love Kikyo. Maybe I did, long ago but I don't think it was real love. It just doesn't compare to what I feel for you." He looked at me with half hopeful eyes half scared and I looked away. I wasn't going to answer him. I want the rest of his story. He looks disappointed and continues. "A bit less than a year ago an angel came to me. She and a group of angels wanted me to have a second chance. But I had to agree that I would be willing to do anything. Anything to protect the one I love. You."

I start at this. Does he really love me? He left me, went to Kikyo….I can't believe he can just say this…I mean, he did pick her…but she left him….Am I just the back-up?

He continues. "I agreed and she went back to heaven to convince the rest of the angels to allow me the second chance. Finally they were all in agreement and I was freed from my endless torture and I stopped you from ending your life." He watches me to see what my reaction is.

"Inuyasha…." I start.

Miroku's POV

We reach our house and put Chame and Arashi in a safe room with Kirara and then rush out of the house. Sango holds her hiraikotz (A/N- Can anyone tell me the right spelling? I can't remember just now….) ready for battle.

A large horned bulk of a demon lumbers over to our house. One of it's massive hands swings towards me faster then I would ever think something of that size could move. I throw myself out of the way and Sango throws her weapon at the face of the demon. The demon howls in pain from the giant boomerang striking his face and while it screamed, stumbled towards our house. Chame and Arashi! I realize with a start. This monster would kill them if he stepped on our house! And something almost as frightening that sends cold chills down my back- on the demons back….is a spider….Naraku is back.
