A/N: I am officially issuing a warning to all those who are faint of heart, that happen to read this chapter. Kagome and other parties may, or may not, but most like may, use some very colorful words to express strong emotions. If you see anything you don't like that have anything to do with language, do NOT tell me, simply because, you HAVEbeen warned.
Big Day: Arrows of a Broken Heart (Part3)
Chapter 20
The Battle
"Where the fuck are my arrows!" the angry miko grumbled to herself. She was severely pissed after her encounter with Kikyo and was ready to kill something. Namely the dead priestess. Inuyasha, her besotted husband, followed behind her, trying, and failing, to calm her down. While he wasn't exactly the picture a collectiveness, he thought Kagome was acting a bit rash. After all he had just declared his undying love for her in front of his former flame.
"There they are," she said. Kagome turned and headed back towards the clearing where she and Inuyasha had left Kikyo, ready and very willing to kill her. Kikyo had the very same idea as her reincarnation. For when she got there, the dead priestess all ready had her arrow knocked and aimed at Kagome's heart.
"Stupid bitch," Kagome taunted, "You should have left while you had the chance." "Don't you get it," she continued. "Inuyasha is mine and you are dead. So I'm going to give you one last chance. Turn around and leave, or I am going to send you back to whatever hell you crawled out of." Kagome aimed her arrow and waited.
Kikyo simply laughed. It was cold and bitter and full of malice, but it broke Kagome's heart. She knew what it was like to be strung along, in love with some one that could give a damn that your heart ached for them. But she was not about to give Inuyasha up. Not for Kikyo or anyone else.
"Do you really think that a pitiful girl like you could best me in archery?" Kikyo laughed, snapping Kagome out of her reverie. The question was rhetorical, but the dead woman never gave the miko a chance to answer. "You really are a foolish girl. I can't understand why Inuyasha would want a shit like you. You're nothing but a burden," she stated dryly.
Kagome smirked, and hatred flashed across her face. It was so quick that the priestess hardly had time to take note of it. Finally, after a slight pause, Kagome said, "Because, unlike you, I'm still alive.
That was the straw that broke the camels back -so to speak- Kikyo launched her arrow, straight and true at Kagome's heart. She jumped out of the way just as it whizzed past her shoulder. Kagome launched her arrow as she landed and righted herself.
Thus the battle had begun. Two women, essentially one soul, for the heart of a hanyou, named Inuyasha.
And so the battle begins. I hate to leave you on the edge like this, but my inspiration is all, but taken flight right now. Plus it's 3 a.m. Also, sorry that this chapter is so short. Again Inspiration sapped. But I think that if I get some more reviews, that I might be able to come up with something good to end this story with. Tell me your ideas. Please and Thank You.
