Chapter Four: Oh Farewell My Beloved Kikyo

Okay I bet you can't guess what's gonna happen to Kikyo, can ya? Okay I'm done now.

Recap:

He licked his lips, fondled his own wounded chest. Cold beams of sweat coursed down the cleft of his chest, the corded muscles of his abdomen, and his flushed cheeks. "Oh farewell... my beloved Kikyo..."

"Where's Naraku!" Kouga demanded from his bloodied member. "Up in the northern mountains..." Within an instance Kouga had Kagome upon his back and had speed off unto Naraku's layer.

"Where are you Naraku!" His voice echoed into the halls. "Where are you!" The voice continued to answer him back. "Damn!" He mumbled to himself. He stalked the empty halls. Cerulean eyes memorizing every nick and corner. Their every step boomed throughout the corridors then vanished into the shadows. Kouga recalled ever hall, the bony fleshless skeletons that line ever corridors' walls. Every hall was another world, like they had both stepped through a portal to another place. Light. Light? A corridor lighted with lanterns they had come upon. Like the gold of heaven...

"So you're here..." A rusty, creaky voice graces them. "Who are...?" The death-ridden voice interrupted. "Come...Here?" A bloody chamber covered in blood and shadow. Shadow swathe body lying limp upon the stone floor, scratching granite with bloody nails. "Kagome?" The smell of death is strong, almost... almost over powering...

"Oh...hello... wolfb-boy..." Words that stumble through darkness. "Kikyo!" Kagome asked, dropping up on her knees near the decrepit form. "Yes," The emits booms whisk through the room, vibrating the castle to its core. "What happened?" Kagome asked, examining the blood drenched body. "Naraku..."

"NARAKU!" Kouga rushed. "Yes... but he's gone now..." Kouga's anger calmed, he was gone... "I knew---I knew I couldn't... couldn't..." Her voice pause, she inhaled and exhaled deeply. "Beat him... but I didn't... listen..." As Kouga neared her, the scent of a certain hanyou wisped by his flared nostrils. "Inuyasha," Kagome flashed in Kouga's direction, but stayed in her pose. "What?" Kagome asked; voice cracking and some what squeaky. She reeked of the hanyou's scent, lips glossed with dog hanyou's salvia, arms still feverish from his hold. "So you smelled him upon me?" She coughed; a deep sliver of crimson liquid steam down her lips and chin. Kagome looked at the small vile of potion she had in her jean's pocket. This potion would heal Kikyo... even so Kagome found herself struggling to show Kikyo the vile. Wait... if she's already dead... then... then... Kouga interrupted her thoughts.

"Yes, you reek of his aroma..." Inuyasha's scent wasn't new to him, he knew it well. "Why?" A minor tone of jealousy in her tone. "DO YOU REALLY want to know?" Kikyo even though dying right in front of them had a reason to be cocky. Kagome's eyes flashed... what did she have to offer Inuyasha? She was dead... she would have to sort this out with him later. No Kikyo doesn't deserve this vile of healing potion... she will die as my love for that hanyou died... hard and filled with an uncomparable pain of lose...

"There's no need for that!" Kouga lifted Kagome from her knees. "Oh please... you don't consider yourself a better prize than that self-absorbed hanyou?" She quivered as she managed to barely chuckle. If Kagome hadn't been right beside him... he would of answered yes but see as she was... he stopped himself. "There's no need..."

"Stop it! You—you know that your better than him... after all you're a prince..." Kouga couldn't help but agree to her statement. "STOP IT!" The frustrated schoolgirl yelled.

'BANG!' The sound of shattering rubble filled the air. It was him. "KIKYO!" The hanyou yelled at the full volume of his lungs. "I smell your blood!" He ran wildly through the corridors searching for the near to death priestess. His bare feet skidded to a halt in front of the blood-ridden chamber. There upon the ground lay his beloved Kikyo. He had no doubt in his mind that Kouga had attempted to killed her as a wedding present to Kagome.

"KIKYO!" He yelled in the usual dramatic way. "Why the hell did you do this to her!" He demanded an explanation from Kagome. "Inu" He wouldn't even hear her out. "I know you didn't like her... but to resort to this?" The sadness in his eyes was sure to make even the hardest of shells crack. "But"

"But nothing! Kagome your not the girl I thought you were!" He turned his back on the confused schoolgirl and knelt by his beloved's side. "Shhh... It's gonna be alright..." He whispered softly as he combed her hair back. "Shhh.."

Kagome could barely watch as he cared for her... it was almost nauseating. She snuggled closer to her mate, the warmth of his arms blanketed her. It was so soothing to have someone to hold you when you need them. He neared her ear... "What's wrong my love?" She didn't want to answer so she just remained quiet.

"Inuya—sha..." The words slowly climbed up her throat. "What is it?" He asked quickly. "I don't think I'm going to make it..." She slowly whispered. "What! Yes you are gonna make it! Don't lose hope..." She made an attempt to laugh but death was getting all to near for jokes. "Oh... Inuyasha... I lost hope along time ago..." Her half-eyed gaze stunned him. A blood covered hand stroked his feverish cheeks. "I lost hope when I lost you..." For a minute it looked like she had gone... but suddenly her life arose once more. "Inuyasha?" He looked to her quickly. "I love— I love— you..." Suddenly the little warmth she had left her, the small signs that she was alive gradually faded away. And as her vital signs did she also faded away... faded away...

"Kikyo?" He coughed out. "Kikyo..." A small crystal tear slid down his face. "DAMN!" He pounded the ground. "DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!" He kissed her lips gently, fondled her face and combed his fingers through her silk ebony hair. "Oh farewell my beloved Kikyo..."

His face revolved back to where Kagome stood. He lifted from his posed-seat and rammed Kouga upon the granite wall. "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THIS TO HER!" Over and over again, repeatedly slamming into the wall. "Stop...STOP!" Kagome stood in front of the wild hanyou and embraced him tight. If he had any less sense at the time he would of ripped her to shreds but what little humanity he had left reached out to stop him. "WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" She cried up on his bare chest. "WHO?"

"Naraku... Naraku killed her..." The ire boiled with in him once more. "WHAT! THAT BASTARD! I'LL KILL HIM." She pleaded the hanyou to calm himself. "INUYASHA PLEASE!" Her pleads went unanswered. "NARAKU!" With that he sped of to find the devious Naraku.

"Oh...Kouga... what did I do..." She hugged him tighter than she ever had before. He looked at her kindly, hoping to cheer her up. "It's alright love..." He himself knew that everything clearly wasn't alright. "Really?" She looked deep into his cerulean eyes. "Yes... Love." He said confidently. He always made her feel better... she just couldn't resist his charms.

He scooped her off her feet... carried her in his muscular arms. He made her feel at light as a feather. She clutched tight to his armored chest, making sure he wouldn't let her fall. "If I fall will you catch me..." The answer to such a question was obvious. He looked at her with the passion of a million men. "If you fall will I catch you..." He loosened his grip for a moment, allowing her to slip slightly. "Yes... my love... over and over again..." He tightened his embrace upon her once more and brought her up.

"What about Inuyasha?" Kouga looked a little shocked at first but soon found himself answering her. "If it makes you happy... I will catch Inuyasha as well..." She chuckled at his response. "I didn't mean it like that... I meant do you think he's gonna be alright?" Kouga blushed... Stupid, Stupid. He mentally punched himself. "Inuyasha's a big puppy dog... He'll be alright..." She was so comforted by his words. "Kagome..." She was so tired she just didn't have the strength to keep her eyes open anymore. "Kagome..." The event of Kikyo's death left her physically drain... slowly she drifted of into her fantasies... as slow as the heartbeats of Kouga's oh so near heart. Before she drifted off one thought crossed her mind. If this is how love feels... then I wish to be in love forever... forever...

Group ah! How sweet... just makes Kikyo seem so worthless cough I mean so... so... so... what the hell... she was worthless... Sorry to all the Kikyo fans out there. I told you this chapter would be dramatic... don't worry if this wasn't enough for ya... There's gonna be a whole lot more. You cannot blame me if you short-out your computer cuz when you were reading this chapter... You started crying on your keyboard... YOU CANNOT BLAME ME! HA,HA,HA! Sorry... and just to warn you... someone else is gonna die... but it's gonna be like three chapters from now. Who is it gonna be? Kouga, Inuyasha, Naraku, Kagome... Maybe even Shippo Oh wait he's not in this story... sorry..." Well I gotta go. Don't cry on keyboards.
