Chapter Thirteen- A Hanyou's Rage
He's hovering over me. I can feel his warm breath on my face. Ice cold fingers brush away my messed up hair forcing my brown eyes to jerk open. I can see him now; that beautiful face tears streaming down the sides. His hand reaches for the back of my head, and I wince as he lifts me up right to fold me carefully into his arms. Sitting bow legged Inuyasha rocks me back and forth. He's falling apart and I'm not even gone yet.
"Calm down, Inuyasha. I'm not…dead…yet." I whisper reaching up to cup his cheek.
"I can't. It was bad enough thinking I lost you, now you really are dying." Inuyasha sobs raising my out stretched hand to his face. He presses it to his cheek hard.
"At least…you'll be…with me…this time." I laugh slightly feeling warm tears now leave my own eyes.
"DON'T SAY THAT!" He shouts grasping onto my barely clothed body tighter.
"Inuyasha…"
"I can't bear to loose you. I love you and I won't let you go without a fight."
"What are…you saying?"
"I'll kill her. I'll end it! She'll never touch you again."
"The police are coming, Yash. She'll kill you. Please…"
"I don't care. HOJO, YOU STILL HERE?" Inuyasha growls taking off his suit jacket.
"Is she all right?" Hojo asks coming out from behind the pillar.
"No, she's not! You need to look after her till I come back. Don't you dare let her get in harms way while I'm not around, are we clear?" Inuyasha asks taking off the bloody suit jacket that I am wearing. I can see the wound pretty clearly. It's deep.
"Clear." Hojo gulps stiffly jogging to my side.
"I mean it. Kagome, you're going to be alright." Inuyasha says as another sob manages to escape his tightened throat. He's seen the wound, and no the outcome doesn't look well.
"Yash, please…" I whimper as he tears Hojo's jacket into strips.
"I'll be back. You'll be okay." Inuyasha promises wrapping one of the strips around my crimson middle. The stench of blood sickens me.
"I'll take care of you till he can come back." Hojo says kneeling by Inuyasha.
"Please don't go." The tears are now increasing; falling down my blood stained cheeks and onto Inuyasha's cool hand.
"I'll come back. I love you, Kagome." I can feel his hard lips against my forehead.
"Please…"
"Take care of her…" Inuyasha frowns handing me over to Hojo.
"You can be assured." Hojo says wrapping his arms around my frail body.
"I'll come back." He says once more to reassure me.
"Yash…" I whisper. I'm too late though. He's already taken off after Kikyou to kill her. What he doesn't know is that my life force is dwindling. Hurry back so you can at least say goodbye.

With Inuyasha…
Stepping into the darkness I can hear her behind me. She's there breathing, existing the very thing she shouldn't be doing. She tried to kill her. Kill the woman I love. She won't escape me. I won't let Kikyou escape with her life while Kagome's life hangs in the balance.
"Kikyou? Kikyou? Come out, come out wherever you are!" My voice screeches though the empty building.
"Come to play with me, Inuyasha?" A voice reaches out through the bareness.
"You'll die tonight by these claws. You'll pay for what you did to her!"
"What I did? What about you, you filthy beast! You couldn't protect her. You let me get to her. And you call yourself part demon."
"You're her cousin! You're her kin! You're so post to love her with all your heart! You shot her down and you drove a dagger into her back. Don't even talk about me being a beast."
"She stole what was mine and you know it!"
"I was never yours. I will only ever belong to one person, and that's Kagome! I can't believe I even thought for a second that you were her."
"You loved me once, Inuyasha! You told me so!"
"That was before you betrayed me. You turned your back on me so you could be a whore to that demon Naraku! Kagome was there to help me put my life back together after you destroyed it. And now you plan to destroy it again? I don't think so!"
"She'll never be the woman I was to you.""You're right she'll be better. She loves me for who I am. You never loved me like she loves me."
I watch the pain spread across that gruesome face. I cannot believe I had convinced myself that that was Kagome. Kagome is more than half the woman she'll ever be. The feelings of last years summer are dead. The only thing that matters is tonight. The vengeance I'll get, and the love I'll give Kagome after Kikyou is gone forever.
"Are you ready?" I ask turning to the blank void again.
"Let the games begin!" Kikyou screams jumping off a rafter to face me.
Kikyou with her dagger and I with my claws start to slash at one another. Blood oozing from out wounds and sweet perspiration dripping off our foreheads the two of us dance our violent dance. A slash here and a slash there, soon we are covered in crimson that soaks through our evening attire.
"So you'd really give your life for a pathetic human?" Kikyou asks pinning me to the wall.
"Of course I would! I love her!" I choke as she raises the dagger to the sensitive skin of my throat.
"If I had stayed with you, would you have given your life for me?" She asks a sadness to her voice.
"I don't know. You didn't stay with…so there is really no saying what I would have done." I gulp as a plip of blood slides down the dagger's blade.
'That's all I needed to hear. Goodbye, Inuyasha." She yells preparing to plunge the dagger into my throat.
"INUYASHA!" I hear a voice shout across the vast emptiness.
A sword comes flying though the air unsheathed. Catching it in my free hand, the one that isn't holding back Kikyou's wrist, I drive the sword into Kikyou's back. She screams out in pain as I slip out of the corner to push her to the ground. Pulling the sword out of her flesh, I stab her rising chest. One last whimper is released from Kikyou's lips as she dies. A pool of blood cloaking her pale form. I turn to look to see who threw the sword, but no one is there. Attached to the blood stained weapon is a note.
It was our father's. Its name is Tetsusaiga. Use it to protect the ones you love.
-Sesshomaru.
Go Sesshomaru! You help Inuyasha like a brother should! What will happen to Kagome now that Kikyou is dead? Find out in chapter 14 of Beauty and The Hanyou. Please rate and review.
