So those of you who read what do you think Kikyou will do with that sword. Hope you like. Oh I do not own Inuyasha.
Chapter Seventeen:
Kagome and the others had been walking for some time when they found a small village to rest. The only thing was that Inuyasha and Kouga were jumpy as they walked through the town. "What is with you guys?" Kagome turned and looked at the people then back at Kouga. True Inuyasha and Kouga were acting odd but then again the people of this town were odd. "I smell blood all over this town and yet I can't tell if these people are alive or if they are the walking dead." At these words Kagome, Sango and Miroku stopped dead in their tracks. They looked at the people as they walked pasted them. Kagome wanted to touch one when the persons fell before her dead. Kagome screamed, as Inuyasha and Kouga got ready for a fight.
"Well look who walked into my little town." Inuyasha and Kouga turned to see Kikyou walk out of a hut with a smile. On her hip sat her sword. "Sango is that a sword that Kikyou is carrying." "Looks like one. But there is something about it that makes me uneasy." Kagome felt it too. "Kikyou what have you done now?"
Kikyou jumped into the air and took hold of her sword. It grew as she pulled it out. Inuyasha and Kouga were stunned for a moment then realized that she was going after Kagome. "Run!" Kagome jumped as the sword missed her by an inch. When the sword hit the ground it shook. Everyone was knocked over for a moment as Kikyou landed then looked at Kagome. "With this sword I am twice as strong and that means I can kill you." "Kikyou stop. Wind Scar!" Kikyou turned to see the yellow blaze of the wind scar coming for her. She jumped into the air to miss the attack. Kagome turned to run for it.
When Kagome turned she found a man in all black. "You are Kagome right?" "I am who are you?" "I am the man who gave that girl her sword." "You! What were you thinking she could bring so much darkness with that sword?" "I see. So you are her equal." The man then pulled out a sword with a pink dragon on it. What is that?" "This is that swords equal. For every life she can hurt with that sword you can save." Kagome looked at the sword as the pink light started to show. "How do I know your not working with Naraku?" "You really don't dear. At least try and take it." Kagome took a deep breath and reached for the sword. As she picked it up she could feel it's power flow in her. "I see so you are the soul who holds little to no hate." "Kagome looked up at the man. "Humans can only hold these swords that is true. But only one who tries to hold no hate can hold the one you hold now. The other can only be held by one full of so much hate that it could destroy this world." Kagome looked to see that time was stopped and Kikyou was about to hit her. "Go and protect this world Kagome."
Kikyou stopped in mid-attack. "What is going on?" Kikyou then looked to find that Kagome was now holding a sword backing off her sword. "Inuyasha Kagome has a sword of her own." Shippo yelled as he pointed to Kagome who was holding back Kikyou with a sword with a pink glow. "What is with those swords they are like my Tetsusaiga in power?" Kagome pushed Kikyou back as she looked at her sword. "It can't cut but it will protect."
Kikyou started to laugh as she looked at the sword. "You wont have time to figure out how that thing works." Kikyou then ran off into the hut she came from as Inuyasha and the others ran to Kagome. "Where did this come from?" "An old man appeared and told me that I was to hold this sword. It's the equal of Kikyou's." Kagome said looking at Miroku. "I see. Sango have you heard of any thing like this." "Once, the Sword of peace and the sword of destruction, they have never had owners before. I think that is because of what they can do." Sango looked at Kagome then back at where Kikyou went. "Inuyasha look out!" Sango pulled Inuyasha out of the way as the hut exploded and Kikyou was standing there again. "You really think this fight was over." Kagome ran in front of the others holding her sword. "I would never think that with you Kikyou. Please put that sword down." Kikyou laughed as she jumped and charged. Kagome started to run ready to push her back when she stopped. She could now see Naraku. "NO!" Before Kagome could do anything Naraku pulled her down to the ground by her hands. She rolled and was cut by the dirt as Naraku pulled her down.
Kagome looked and tried to free herself as she could see that Kikyou was after Inuyasha. "NO!" Kikyou landed in front of Inuyasha and in one move stabbed him in the stomach. "INUYASHA!" Kagome pulled one arm free. Kikyou jumped again this time moved and got Kouga in the stomach as well. "KOUGA!" Kagome got herself free and ran to Kikyou. She reached her and swung her sword. Missing Kikyou by an inch as she jumped over her head. "What have you done!" "Oh you'll see." Kagome held her sword and its pink light grew as she pointed the sword at her. "You will not pass." The light grew around Kagome and the others. "Oh Kagome I have done what I wanted for now." Kagome saw that Kikyou was walking to Naraku. "NARAKU!" Kagome dropped her sword and took her bow. An arrow went flying past Kikyou and hit Naraku in the chest. "Kikyou come!" Naraku and Kikyou were now gone.
Kagome turned to see that both Kouga and Inuyasha were out cold. "Are they alive?" "Yes, looks like she just made a hole in both their stomachs." Sango was looking at the wounds. Kagome looked down at the two and a chill ran up he spine. She could now see the power the sword Kikyou held had. "Her sword will do what she wants. She can kill but she can toy with life." Kagome fell to the ground and started to look over Inuyasha and Kouga. "Kagome what are you doing?" "No, no. no. She wouldn't do this? Kikyou you would do this would you?" "Kagome please tell me what is going on." Shippo was now pulling on Kagome's sleeve. Kagome looked at him then at Sango and Miroku. "We have a very big problem on our hands." Kagome moved and they could see what she saw. Inuyasha in the sunlight had black hair and no ears. Kouga's hair was also black and his tail was gone. "What is going on?" "Kikyou and that sword made then human." "WHAT!?" The three yelled as Kagome got up. "We need to move them before they wake up." Kirara grew and they put the two on her back. They started to slowly walk to the woods. "Kagome what are we going to do?" Shippo asked as he was sitting with the two men. "I am not sure. I need to find a way to break what she did." Kagome looked pale as she talked. Sango could see that she had no idea what she was going to do. As they finally got to a quite spot Kirara put the two men down. Miroku made sure they were comfortable as Kagome went for a walk alone.
"Why would she do that? Well duh she wants to make sure that there is no one in her way when she comes back to attack. I have to find a way to break her spell! I have to find out how she did it." Kagome walked a little more till she finally just stopped. She looked around and she found her way into a little field of flowers. "I can always do this. I walk trying to think I find a field of flowers." Kagome smiled for the first time then looked up to the sky it was getting dark. "So Naraku as weak as he is he is going to show his face. "You think that because you took their demon powers away that you're in the clear! Naraku Sango, Miroku, and my self are still standing and we will fight you!" The sky grew darker and lighting appeared above Kagome. She let the rain fall on her as she let herself cry. "You will both pay for what you have done." Kagome cried for Kikyou's soul. "Kikyou why would you do this!" The tears kept coming as she sat on the wet ground.

As the rain started to fall Sango and Miroku tried to keep Kouga and Inuyasha from getting wet. "Shippo come and help please." "What about Kagome?" "She needs to be alone to think about this." Shippo ran over to see what he could do to help when the rain picked up and so did the wind. Shippo held his fire barrier for as long as he could till the wind blew him away. "Shippo!" Miroku ran and took hold of his hand as they turned around that is when they saw the waterfall down on the two. "Miroku they're waking up." Miroku didn't move as Kouga and Inuyasha opened their eyes.
"What happened?" Inuyasha looked at the water falling on him. "Something isn't right." Kouga felt weird as he was sitting up. They saw Sango looking at them. "Where is Kagome?" They both yelled. "She went for a walk a few minutes ago before this rain started." Sango answered. The two jumped up looking around the rain was falling so hard that it was making it hard to see Sango who was standing in front of them. "Why aren't you going to find her?" Inuyasha yelled. "Inuyasha, Kagome is fine we need to talk to you two." Inuyasha looked at Miroku then ran off. Kouga followed. "Wait we need to talk to you." Sango tried to grab them but they ran pasted her. "What is going on? Can't they see that they are human?" Shippo asked. "Not sure its almost like they couldn't see what has happened to them." Miroku said as he watched them run off.

Kagome sat in the rain tears running down her face. Then she felt a figure standing above her. "Why my little Kagome why don't you find a place out of the rain?" "Leave me Naraku." "Why would I do that not till I see their faces when you tell them that they are human." Kagome looked up at Naraku. "What are you talking about?" "I made this more fun. I have them under my spell so they cannot see what is going on till you tell them." Kagome felt her heart drop. Then she could hear footsteps coming towards them. "Naraku get your hands away from her." Inuyasha and Kouga came to a halt in front of Naraku and Kagome. "Tell them Kagome before they try anything stupid." "What is he talking about Kagome?" Inuyasha could now see that Kagome's face was pale. She pulled herself up as she looked at her dear friend and fiancé. They had black hair, their nails were short, neither had fangs anymore. "Naraku what is going on?" Kouga was about to take a step towards them when Kagome jumped in front of him holding back the tears. "You can't hurt him." Kouga stopped at her words. "Kagome are you losing it. I can tear this man apart." "No you can't." Kagome tried to say the rest but her mouth wouldn't do it. "Come on Kagome tell them what Kikyou did." Naraku had a great big smile on his face, as he looked at the two great enemies now human and weak. "Hahaha you can't even touch me now boys." Naraku was about to swing his arms out at them when Kagome took hold of him. "Run now!" Inuyasha and Kouga looked at Kagome. "Run! Kikyou turned you human. Now go!" A light faded and Inuyasha and Kouga looked at each other. It was true for they could see the other person and then they ran. "I see, Kagome you do care about them enough to make sure they are safe from me." "Listen to me Naraku I will learn how to work this sword then I will fix this." Kagome pushed Naraku back then started to run after Inuyasha and Kouga. "You can try but they will fall as humans. If not by my hands then they will just give up." Naraku then was gone.

The rain was starting to let up as Inuyasha and Kouga reached the river. They looked into the water and saw the humans they were now. Kouga jumped back falling on his butt. He no longer was as graceful as he was as a demon. Inuyasha saw his human form and felt the sun from a break in the clouds. "She was right. That Kikyou girl turned us into weak useless humans." "Being human doesn't mean that you're weak." Kouga and Inuyasha turned to see Kagome was standing behind them her face to the ground. "I will find a way to break this. Please just give me time." Kouga looked back towards the river. "I hope so. Because me being human means you all could die." Kagome now knew that this would be much harder than she thought. "Kouga, I'm human and I seem to make it." Kagome felt a little hurt was that how he viewed her and the others. Inuyasha looked away too as the night sky was coming. "We should get back the others will worry." Kagome turned and ran back to camp. "They both feel that they are nothing if they are human. How could they? We are humans that travel with them. How can they get their demon powers back if they can't see the strength that lives inside them."
