The Sun and the Moon
Disclaimer: I own… let's see… (Goes through a list)… hmm, nope… nothing about InuYasha yet, or Zelda. Except for my InuYasha key chains and stuffed animal Inu. Oh well…
Chapter 3: Traitors?
Somika walked away with InuYasha, and Kagome walked with Jiko. It would have all gone to plan, except for one little thing. Kagome couldn't stand it! It was traitorous to InuYasha, to leave him, and go with another guy! Even though he went with Kikyo sometimes… but that was mostly Kikyo coming onto him. And she couldn't just let the girl she barely met (even though you could call them friends) go off with her InuYasha! She wasn't that curious about this guy! What if InuYasha said something romantic, and she missed it? What if a good opportunity arose for something? She couldn't go through with this treachery!
Kagome glanced over her shoulder, and saw InuYasha walking away with Somika's arm through his own. She frowned, and almost broke away right then, except for Jiko turned at the same time. Jiko took out his bow silently, and placed an arrow on the string. He drew back, pointing the bow at InuYasha. "No…" Kagome's breath caught in her throat as she realized where the arrow was pointing. She started panicking, but she seemed to know exactly what she had to do.
Knock the bow out of line, and then break the spell upon myself! Kagome hit the bow downward just as Jiko fired. The arrow flew crooked, and landed deadly silent in the ground feet from InuYasha, and shivered. Kagome dissolved her disguise and broke away from Jiko.
"InuYasha!" Kagome called. InuYasha and Somika turned, to see who called InuYasha. Kagome was sprinting across the clearing to him, and InuYasha was baffled, for Somika still looked like Kagome. As far as he knew, Kagome was both girls, somehow. Somika, seeing that the disguise was blown, released the spell upon herself and started walking toward Jiko, who was also trying to figure out what the heck was going on.
Kagome approached InuYasha, who had something click together in his brain and he understood that Kagome had just about left with another guy, even though it was, technically, as someone else. He looked at her in disgust, because of the trick she'd tried to pull. Kagome's eyes brightened and watered, but she didn't slow down, and collided with InuYasha in a fierce hug.
InuYasha held his ground, except for being pushed back a little by Kagome's momentum. He saw the arrow for the first time, and Jiko with his bow out. He looked down at Kagome, and his expression softened. Not only had she been loyal, she had saved him. He hugged her back, holding her to him in genuine thanks and love. She could have just left him, and gone with the guy, and let him have been shot. He was very grateful to her, for if she hadn't reacted quickly like she did, would he be there to protect her?
Jiko, however, was less forgiving, and was glaring at Somika, who was starting to cry. He wouldn't go near her, the one who betrayed him for his enemy. He didn't understand her at all. How could she? After he had saved her so many times, from innumerable dangers. This girl could go find another protector. He turned to leave when InuYasha called to him.
"You! Jiko! You've tried to steal Kagome away from me! And tried to kill me when my back was turned! You'll pay for that!" InuYasha and Kagome had released each other from the hug, but InuYasha still had an arm around Kagome's waist. I'm not letting anyone get near her, not now, not ever! InuYasha pulled out Tetsusaiga with his right hand, his free hand, and pointed it at Jiko. Kagome took out her bow again, and slung it. They stood side-by-side, an impenetrable wall.
Jiko stared at them, and seemed to consider his options once again. He turned and walked away. Somika looked after him, and began following after he was out of sight along the trail. Jiko left the way InuYasha and Kagome had come, with Somika following at a distance.
InuYasha and Kagome stood there, staring at the path that led into the forest. InuYasha shrugged, and turned to Kagome, who put away her arrow. She walked over to the arrow in the ground, and put it in her bow. She shot it straight up, and InuYasha had to destroy it so that it wouldn't come back down and hit Kagome. He had the Tetsusaiga, so he just used the Wind Scar, and the arrow that had been aimed at his heart, the arrow that was to kill him, shattered.
Now Kagome was turning to InuYasha, after watching the arrow explode. She walked up to him and nearly fainted with all that her emotions and power had demanded of her. InuYasha caught her, worried, and let her climb onto his back. He glanced back to the path they had come from, and saw the gleam of Jiko's eyes from a tree. He glared at Jiko, then turned and bounded into the forest, with Kagome asleep on his back.
Hmm… I wonder if we'll be seeing Jiko and Somika again. It's quite possible, I suppose. They were originally Link and Zelda, because me & my friend wrote it that way, but, thank you to the person that reviewed (hint hint--- if you review I will adjust my fanfiction, probably. Constructive criticism!) they are now Jiko and Somika, magical beings. I hope you liked this chapter, and are looking forward to the next one! Sorry this one was so short, it's because the other one's longer and good.
