Chapter 11 – Ending (No…I don't mean the story)
I don't own Inuyasha but I own this story!
"It's over….Kikyo…"
Three words spoken from mere silence, it could have been something romantic like I love you or hatred like I hate you, but this time it wasn't something romantic nor was it hatred. It was emphatically the ending….
"Over? What do you mean by over Inuyasha?" Kikyo asked him in denial to the fact that she did know what he meant.
Shippo, Sango and Miroku smiled. This time Inuyasha looked straight at her not like he usually do.
"Feh. You know exactly what I mean!"
If she was alive, she would've felt as if someone dug a hole in her heart but then again she was nothing more but a reflection, an illusion of her spirit brought back to finish something…to rest in peace.
"You did say you're life is mine…..you can't just simply take it back from me you know…" she chuckled and took an arrow from her back. "You'll pay for what you did!" She aimed her arrow at him and released it. Memories went back of what happened fifty-one years ago and scenes of bitter recollections already passed, still Inuyasha didn't regret of his decision.
Kagome tried her best to move. She took a deep breath, clutched an amount of soil and tried to pull it like actually carrying a heavy bag of sack. Then she felt a sudden release from the heavy feeling in her. She knew it….she can do it…but then again the barrier around her wouldn't let her go anywhere. Without even stopping to think, she reached for a stone and threw it right to the arrow. Inuyasha evaded fast beforethe arrowwould hit him.
"Kagome…" he uttered turning his head over his shoulders.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted and a flash of blue light surrounded her, the barrier disappeared.
"How….how did you manage to break my barrier?" Kikyo shouted crossly. She took another arrow to her bow and aimed it, not to Inuyasha but to Kagome. Kagome still looked like she'll faint after having such a long life-sucking dream. Without trying to stop Kikyo with words, he immediately ran towards Kagome and striked Kikyo aimlessly with his claws, "Sankon tetsu!"
An impact threw her to the ground and before she tried to get up did she only realize that she got hit on her side. Souls of the dead went out of her lifeless body and if she was alive she would have been unconscious by now. But then again immense fury made her determined to blemish such hatred inside her. If only she was able to kill him before instead of sealing him, there would be no other reason for her to lifelessly exist in this world. She narrowed her eyes horridly to the pair in front of her. She made an effort standing up and took a posture with focused eyes.
'Could she be trying to have that arrow as her last shot? No way!' Miroku thought feeling extremely stressed about this fight between Inuyasha and Kikyo. 'To think this was some kind of a lovers' quarrel but it turned out to be a love triangle fight... if only I had Sango fight for me that would be' But then he heard a swoosh and that meant Kikyo already released the arrow.
All heads turned directly to Kagome and Inuyasha. But then where are they? No one was there from the last time Miroku was looking at both of them. Miroku turned to Sango and Shippo who in turn looked at him too, "Where'd they go?" they asked each other.
"I was looking at Kikyo," Shippo said.
"Yeah, me too." Sango.
"Uhh...Kikyo's gone too," Miroku interrupted as he pointed to the spot where they saw her last.
"We better look for them before something worst happens," Sango said.
Floating orb-like objects gathered around captured by such creatures that looked like snakes slithering in the air. They released the souls of the dead to a body collapsed in a tree deep in the forest. After a numerous souls collected, she stood up while leaning to the trunk of the tree and got nothing else to do but to go on walking till she meets them once more. "Such impertinence….to die is to cease your existence, Inuyasha…" Kikyo muttered.
Inuyasha stopped in a branch of a tree big enough for both of them. He put Kagome down with her back leaning on to the tree. She fainted right after he took her from getting hit by the arrow. He sat right next to her and stopped to gaze at her.
He could smell her sweet scent….an aroma he'd never resist.
'She looks tired even when she's asleep….' He went closer to her and touched her cheek with his finger without even knowing he was actually doing it. When he saw himself touching her she pulled his hand back alarmingly. He continued to gaze at her then she murmured, "I..nu..yasha…"
His dog ears straightened up, 'She's dreaming again…what's she dreaming about me anyway?…' he wondered and smile. Unexpectedly Kagome's hand grabbed his white shirt (note: Kagome's still wearing his fire-rat robe since her uniform's ruined) towards her. Inuyasha was shocked when he found himself kissing her. He didn't know what to do or react but then Kagome's eyes opened and in great shock too her hand suddenly slapped him off to the ground.
"Arrrghh," Inuyasha shouted and felt rather stupid.
"Oh! Inuyasha! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to," Kagome looked down seeing Inuyasha's face crashed to the ground.
"What did you do that for?" he yelled as he stood up red-faced.
"Why ask me? You were the one kissing me in my sleep!"
"Me? You grabbed me!"
"Then why get all red?" Kagome crossed her arms and looked away from him.
Inuyasha was dumbfounded and he bursted, "Urghh!"
"Hmph.."
'Please say she's not mad! Not mad! Please! Please! Please!'
He closed his eyes expecting a SIT from her but then he only heard her move. He opened his eyes and saw her about to jump down. His eyes grew big and before he could stop her, she landed on top of him. "Ouch!" She whimpered as she touched her elbow.
It was already sunrise and both of them looked up as its light came upon them. Footsteps were heard. Miroku, Sango and Shippo on Kirara appeared but then Miroku stopped them and gave both of them a 'I can't believe this' look. Inuyasha and Kagome looked in reply 'What's with him?'
Sango gasped and Shippo tried to see why they were wearing such faces but then as he got a glimpse of it Miroku's hand covered his eyes. Shippo's mouth dropped down as he was able to get a slight peek of it. Sango's hands clapped. "Oh my! I knew someday you'd two would be together!" she congratulated, ran to them and gave each of them a handshake.
Then did they only remember that they were in a position they didn't mean to be in. Kagome looked the other way and so did Inuyasha, both parted with blushing faces.
They look so sweet in my imagination…oh well….how was it? Hope you guys like it though…. REVIEWS PLEASE: ) (working on the next chapter right now! ; ) hehe...)
