1Hey! Sorry its been so long. But its getting really hard to do everything I have to do. But here is the next chapter anyway.

Chapter 25: Kikyou Strikes

Inuyasha stormed down the streets towards his house, angry at the night. He hated being human. It was when he was at his weakest. But there was nothing he could truly do about it. With a sigh he reached for the door knob, but saw that it was already open.

He softly pushed the door open, grabbing his sword. The house was dark and no sounds came from inside. He pressed himself against the wall and slowly made his way towards the living room entrance. He quietly walked in, holding his sword out in front of him.

"Your not going to hurt anyone with that rusty thing so put it away." A voice said, emotionless. Inuyasha flicked on the lights to see Kikyou sitting on his couch. But she was not alone. In the corner stood a man. But he could not see his face behind the white hoody he wore. "Get out of my house." He growled.

Kikyou stood and looked at him. The look on her face was sad and deep. A sadness that Inuyasha could not explain. "Inuyasha...I've been thinking lately." She said slowly. Inuyasha could only grunt at her.

She walked over to him and looked deep into his eyes. "I never really appreciated you." She told him, tears welling up in her eyes. Inuyasha felt his heart feel for her pain. "I was so wound up in being popular that I turned into a bitch from hell." She continued, hanging her head.

As Inuyasha watched her cry and he felt her pain. He remembered why he had fallen in love with her. She had been a kind soul before. Then she became popular and didn't care about people's feelings. Could she be back to normal again? He thought to himself.

Kikyou slowly wrapped her arms around him and cried into his shoulder. "Inuyasha. It was a mistake. Everything I did was wrong. I lost you and my life. Now I am the walking dead and have no one." She cried, tears soaking in his shirt. Inuyasha hugged her close and whispered, "It's okay Kikyou."

Kagome and Sango finished laughing and got to their feet. "Man, that was a good laugh." Kagome said, wiping a tear from her eye. "I haven't laughed that hard in a long time." Sango agreed. Ayame walked out of the bathroom in a huff. "Next time your friend strings water through out my apartment, make sure he cleans it up." She told them, walking into her room.

Kagome and Sango nodded and turned back to their movie. "Maybe I should call him and say I'm sorry. He didn't really seem happy about us laughing at him." Kagome said, looking at the phone. Sango only shrugged her shoulders and walked into the kitchen.

Kagome grabbed the phone and dialed his familiar number. But it rang four times then went to the answering machine. "Sorry we aren't home right now." Rang Inuyasha's mother's voice. Then silence. "Say your line Inuyasha!" She said. "This is Stupid mom!" He yelled, his voice low from being away from the machine. She sighed then said, "Please leave your name and a message and we'll get back to you."

"Hey Inuyasha, It's Kagome, call me when you get this." And then she hung up. Sango came in the room with popcorn and sat down. "He wasn't home?" She asked, munching on the popcorn. "No, and its weird. He doesn't live that far away." She said, grabbing some popcorn.

It had gotten late by the end of the movie. "I know I shouldn't but I just have this bad feeling." Kagome said, reaching for the phone. She dialed the number only to hear four rings and a answering machine. She let out a sigh and got off the couch.

"What are you doing Kagome?" Sango asked, watching her put on her coat. "I'm going to Inuyasha's, something is not right." She told her, opening the door. "I'll be back in a little bit." She said with a smile. "Wait!" Sango said, running into a room. She then ran out with a bow and arrows. "What are these for?" Kagome asked. "It's all I have. I don't carry guns." she said, handing them to her. "I haven't shot an arrow in years!"She told her trying to hand them back. "It's like riding a bike, you never forget." Sango said.

Kagome shrugged her shoulders and threw the arrows over her shoulder. "It's probably nothing. Just me being paranoid." Kagome reassured. Sango nodded and watched her walk out of the apartment.

Kagome reached Inuyasha's house in a matter of minutes. Everything was dark and the front door was wide open. Okay something is not right. She thought, walking into the house. As she quietly walked the halls, she dropped the bow to the floor and pulled out her gun she always had on her now a days.

She quietly walked into the living room area and looked around. "How nice of you to join us." A evil voice said. With the flick of a light switch Kagome saw Kikyou on the couch. But what shocked her was that Inuyasha was sitting next to her.

"Inuyasha?" She asked, pointing her gun at Kikyou. "Put that thing away. You'll shoot your eye out." Kikyou told her. At that moment a man jumped at her and grabbed the gun from her hands. She looked up at him to see that it was Naraku. "What the heck are you doing here?" She asked, getting to her feet.

"He's with me." Kikyou said, getting to her feet. "Just like Inuyasha here." She said, touching his shoulder. Inuyasha stood up and wrapped his hand around her waist. "Inuyasha..." she said, not knowing what to truly do.

"You were a fool to think you could keep him from me. And a even bigger fool to think I wouldn't kill you!" She yelled. At that second Naraku knocked her back into the hall way and up against the wall. She slid to the floor in pain. "Inuyasha!" She yelled, dodging another of Naraku's attacks.

What is wrong with Inuyasha? She asked her self. Naraku went to punch her, but she placed her feet on his chest and kicked him back. At that moment she saw the bow on the floor. She ran over and quickly grabbed it off the floor. She grabbed an arrow and aimed it at Naraku.

Kikyou only let out a laugh at her attempt to fight back. She quickly shot the arrow, but it only fell to the floor. Another laughed echoed from the living room. Naraku's arm morphed into a blade and he went to cut her. Kagome ducked and the blade went into the wall, getting stuck. She quickly ran into the living room and went over to Inuyasha. She grabbed his shoulders and shook him. Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" She yelled, shaking him.

"Do not forget the battle sweet wench." Kikyou said beside Inuyasha. Kagome quickly turned around in time to be cut across her middle by Naraku's blade. She fell to the floor in pain. She could only see Inuyasha beside her. She reached up and grabbed his hand. "Inuyasha...help...me." She cried, tears welling up in her eyes.

"We'll leave you to die in silence." Kikyou told her, walking away. Inuyasha did not move. He looked down at her. Kagome looked into his eyes to see that they were glazed over and emotionless. "Come Inuyasha." Kikyou's voice commanded. Inuyasha then wrench his hand from Kagome's grasp and walked out of the room. The Kagome's vision blurred and then blacked out.
