Laying Amongst the Dead

Chapter Five

I can't believe him. I just got my stomach cut open and he acts as if it was nothing to him. He certainly has changed. If I didn't notice before this sure was a good smack in the face.

Kagome strode towards InuYasha. His eyes were wide and his ears were pressed against his head. He looked like he was a beat puppy.

A very mean and…stupid puppy.

"What more do you want from me?" InuYasha asked as he took a step back from Kagome who was standing close to him.

"More gratitude for one, not to mention your kindness. I deserve more respect from you considering that I just risked my life to save your neck, you turkey," Kagome yelled and took a step towards him.

"I'm not a turkey! And I said 'thanks'. And another thing…NO ONE ASKED YOU TO DIE FOR ME!" InuYasha yelled back in Kagome's face.

"Stop yelling in my face, you turkey!" Kagome yelled back, inched from InuYasha's mouth.

"I'M NOT A TURKEY, WOMAN! CAN'T YOU SEE THE EARS. TURKEYS DON'T HAVE EARS!" InuYasha thundered.

"Well, do you want me to call you a stubborn, stupid dog? Cause that's what you're acting like," Kagome shouted, "A BIG STUPID DOG!"

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

InuYasha growled and slapped her across her face. She flew backwards into Sesshomaru's arms. His anger instantly deflated as he smelt and saw blood drip from above her eye. He hadn't meant to hit her. She just had gotten him so mad.

"You're such a jerk, InuYasha," Kagome whimpered and pulled herself away from Sesshomaru and ran into the woods leaving only the scent of blood and salt from her fallen tears.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Kagome ran, blinded by tears and blood, into the woods. She didn't know where she was going, but all she knew was that she wanted to get as far as she could away from InuYasha.

"You bastard!" she shouted in choked sobs.

Her foot hit something and she fell to the ground. She sobbed as she got to her hands and knees and tried to clear her vision enough to see where she was going. She stood up and started jogging again. She didn't care if some demon came along and decided to eat her.

"Aw…"InuYasha's cry met my hear and caused me to stop dead in my tracks.

Sesshomaru had watched the inter argument between InuYasha and I. He's probably beating the snot out of InuYasha. He deserves it. That stupid….sweet stupid demon, Kagome thought and collapsed to the ground again and sobbed.

"Why, InuYasha? Why are you so cruel? Why did you have to turn into a full demon? I loved so much when you where a half-demon," she said aloud between her sobs.

Kagome suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. She yelped and scrambled away from the person or thing, whatever it was. She wiped her tears away and stared up at InuYasha, but…it wasn't InuYasha. InuYasha was a demon, this InuYasha is…human.

"Hey, Kagome," he said with a smile on his face.

"InuYasha?" I asked and stood up to meet him at eye level.

This InuYasha was almost see-through. He had black hair and black eyes. He looked so loving and kind. Kagome felt her tears build back up and fall down her cheeks as she gazed at InuYasha's former self.

"Don't cry, Kagome. I hate it when you cry," he said in a voice that seemed to have a slight echo to it.

"Why couldn't you be here instead?" She sobbed and took a step towards InuYasha.

She didn't understand how she could see InuYasha's human side when it no longer existed, but she didn't care. She missed the human InuYasha.

"I over stayed my welcome. When Sesshomaru sliced my chest open, I somehow died and the demon part of me was born. I'm not exactly sure how it works… The demon part of me may not remember the human part of my life, but it has the memories with it and always will. No matter how hard it tries to forget you… …it never will," InuYasha said and took a step towards her and wiped the tears from her cheek with his kimono sleeve.

"I love you, InuYasha," Kagome whispered and leaned into his touch.

He smiled and leaned towards her. "I love you and always will, Kagome. No matter what the demon part of me says, he does, too," he said and pressed his lips against Kagome's.

She sighed and nearly whimpered as he pulled away. "I don't want you to go. I want to be by your side forever, InuYasha," Kagome mumbled and leaned her cheek against his shoulder.

"You have to promise me something while I am away, Kagome," InuYasha suddenly said in a soft voice.

"What is it?" Kagome asked.

"I need you to promise first," he said urgently.

She blinked and pulled away from InuYasha. He was disappearing! She closed her eyes briefly and tried to reason with herself.

This isn't real! The human InuYasha is dead. He can never com back!

"Promise me!" he said more louder with a certain frantic look about him.

"I promise," she muttered.

"Don't fall in love with Sesshomaru," he mumbled and disappeared, leaving her in the middle of the woods.

oOo

Well, that was chapter five. I got so mad at InuYasha even though I'm the one writing it. Sad huh? lol. I hope you guys like the chapter. I should have the next chappy out soon. I wonder what will happen next. Will she ignore the human InuYasha's promise or will she decide after she hears what the youki InuYasha says? Until next chappy, love ya.
