Chap 6

"Who would do this?"

Itachi smirked.

"I would."

---

Kagome felt a beast rise up from within her.

She had attempted at a smile.

"Pardon?"

"You baka girl. I said 'I would'."

Kagome felt all the anger unleash from inside of her.

"YOU BASTARD!"

She jumped towards him, surprising him with her speed, but he had dodged her attack at the last second. But what he did not predict was that she would turn.

Though he had dodged her attack for the most, he had received a deep cut on his shoulder.

"I'm going to kill you, you baka girl."

---- Back to the Feudal Era! D—

"I think they're coming again."

"Good. Get ready Miroku."

"Hai, Sango my love."

Sango turned to look at him in surprise.

The footsteps suddenly stopped. And they heard the loud creaking of a cell door being opened.

They gasped as they saw the figure standing in front of them.

"Kouga!?"

A deep growl vibrated through the air. Confirming Sango of his presence.

"They used Kagome to get me. They said they were going to kill her if I didn't come." Kouga replied bluntly.

Sango and Miroku looked at each other in surprise.

They could understand Shippo buying the story, but Kouga?

It was as if Kouga knew what they were thinking. He cast he head down, his bangs blocking his eyes.

"I.. I didn't know. I just believed them. I thought. No. I didn't think. I just went with them."

Kouga mumbled out dumbly. Sango felt sorry for him.

"It's okay. Don't worry. We'll get out somehow."

-tap, tap, tap-

Sango turned her head, just realizing that Kikyo was there. Kikyo and Inuyasha.

"Run Kouga! Don't let them get you! Try to get lady Kagome and.."

Miroku was cut off as Kouga inclined his head downwards. Miroku felt sick. Those bastards.

They had cut off Kouga's legs.

Tears started to slide of Sango's face as she saw what was left of her usually arrogant and stuck up friend. He had always trusted his legs most. They were his weapons. He would've given his arms and even his heart. But they had took his legs.

Now he sat in a chair. A broken spirit that could no longer be fixed. She could almost see his heart, shattered into pieces.

"Oh Kouga! Why didn't you do anything?"

"They were too strong. I had overestimated myself. My clan was slaughtered. There's no one left." Kouga whispered out hoarsely. As if he didn't want to hear the truth in his own words.

Sango burst out crying and fell into Miroku's arms then. How could they? How could they do this?

"Now that we're done sharing, I would like to show you guys something." Kikyo drawled out.

At that very moment, Sango just wanted to rip her head off.

"Watch closely."

Kikyo put a hand inside her shirt, pulling out a small bottle containing some kind of transparent powder. She opened the lid and poured some over her hands.

"It's amazing how well this stuff works, really, one would never expect..."

She murmured to herself as her hands inched towards Inuyasha's heart.

Sango screamed as she saw Kikyo's hand reach inside of Inuyasha's chest, and watched in horror as Inuyasha suddenly throttled forward, spitting out blood.

"Now now my love... it'll all be over in a second."

Kikyo finally started to inch backwards, grasping with her Inuyasha's heart.

"YOU BITCH! YOU SLUT! PUT THAT BACK! I THOUGHT YOU LOVED HIM YOU PIECE OF SHIT! PUT THAT BACK YOU WHORE!" Sango screamed, unable to watch what was happening in silence anymore.

"Shut up."

Sango was about to retort when Miroku placed a firm hand over her mouth, silencing her.

"See these strings?" Kikyo whispered in amusement.

When Sango had finally calmed down, she looked over at Inuyasha's beating heart, and saw several strands of 'strings' attached to it. One of them, the thickest one, was purest of blue.

"No...! You wouldn't..."

Kikyo smile became wider.

"Yes. That's his connection. His connection to lady Kagome."

And Sango watched in disgust as Kikyo prodded around Inuyasha's heart, as though looking for something else.

"Ahh, there it is."

She produced another string, purple in colour, but thin. Barely visible.

"That is his connection to me." She spat out, clearly hurt.

Sango felt something click. The pieces were fitting together somehow.

"You don't know where Lady Kagome is do you?"

Kikyo ignored the question.

"You're just doing this because of jealousy! You're jealous of Kagome!"

Kikyo spat at her, sending her a nasty glare.

"I am. I am. I am! I hate her! I HATE HER! How would you feel? HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU DIED CHASING AFTER YOUR LOVER, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT HE'S WITH ANOTHER? HOW WOULD YOU FEEL? TELL ME! AND HOW WOULD YOU FEEL AFTER FINDING OUT THAT HIS SO CALLED 'NEW LOVER' WAS A REINCARNATION OF YOU? AND SHE HAS YOUR FCKING SOUL!? AND... AND THOUGH YOU CALL YOURSELF A PRIEST, YOU HAVE TO SURVIVE BY STEALING OTHER PEOPLE'S SOULS! HOW WOULD YOU FKING FEEL?" Kikyo took a feel deep breath after her out break.

Sango was speechless. She had never known that Kikyo felt so strongly for Inuyasha. Sango felt sympathy. A strong sympathy for the women, trying desperately to get the heart back of which once had contained only her.

"I... I didn't..."

"Well it doesn't matter now. It won't matter at all. Because soon, I'm going to be all there is in his heart. I'm going to be the only one left." Kikyo laughed.

"No! Don't! You don't know what you're doing!"

"Oh I do. I do know very well. Do you know how long I've waited for this?"

She laughed again as she took out a dagger, made of the purest silver. And as she sliced it down, no one noticed the tears running down Inuyasha's face. No one heard his painful cry. The only thing anyone heard was a small noise, pure and delicate, but they would remember it forever.

It felt as if the world was going in slow motion as Kikyo brought her dagger down. And sliced through the bond that made Inuyasha's heart alive.

-Twang-

---

Kagome suddenly shook in pain, her heart wrenching violently.

"What.. What the hell..." She gasped and felt her breath leaving her.

"-Pant pant- what's wrong? Is this too much for you?" The attacker replied, full of sarcasm.

"Sh-shut up! SHUT UP!" Kagome cried in pain as another powerful throb hit her heart.

Her attacker inclined his head in confusion. The girl had been fine before. What was wrong with her now?

Well.. He couldn't kill her, as much as he had wanted to, he had to keep her alive. Since the Akatsuki said...

He sighed. He really needed to get new 'friends'.

He put on his best 'I'm a nice guy who won't hurt you' smile... ahem... and attempted to pick her up. Note the 'attempted'.

Kagome had noticed his change in thought, and had guessed his motives before he actually laid a hand upon her. She quickly uttered the words that would bring forth her barrier.

"What is this?" Itachi mused aloud.

He ran a hand down the side of her barrier, apparently unfazed by the power emitting from the barrier that was attempting to stop him.

'Kuso' Kagome swore, at her barriers failure. She was barely holding it up, deeming it much less possible to actually have it so that the barrier emits enough power to actually 'hurt' the 'victim'.

Itachi summed up a small ball of chakra in his hands. He smashed the ball into the barrier.

"AAAAAH!" Kagome screamed out in pain.

Itachi smirked. So it hurts her when her shield is attacked. Suddenly, he realized that his hand was stinging, he looked down and raised an eyebrow in surprise. This girl was amusing him to no end; his hand was burnt, bits of red flesh showing from his last attack.

Kagome panted heavily, the last of her strength had been wasted on summoning that shield, and now, she was defenceless.

Itachi knew something had happened to the girl to make her... change so suddenly, but he wasn't one for fairness, and he wasn't about to let her escape, even if he would be taking advantage of her.

Itachi muttered a few words and extracted another ball of chakra from his palm, preparing to thrust it into Kagome shield.

"Any last words baka?"

"I hate you."

Itachi smirked, he'd give the girl some credit for the spunk, but it would not help her in her situation.

"Very well then, byebye Kagome-chan."

Kagome screamed out in pain as her barrier had finally broken down after the powerful ball of energy (a/n, you must remember, that this is Kagome's thoughts, and she doesn't know what 'chakra' is yet! And if I mentioned she did anywhere else.. Well.. Just forget that! Oh, and same for the names, if they were never introduced.. Well.. BLEH!) Was thrust into her dimming shield. Now she was left, alone and powerless.

Kagome felt her vision blur. She tried to move her legs, but it proved useless. She looked down, only to find a red string coming out of Itachi's fingers connecting her legs together, making her unable to move.

She smiled sadly, so this was how it was going to end huh? How ironic.

I'll see you in heaven then, Naruto-kun. Wait for me...

And she passed out, her body a limp form on the ground.

Itachi's eyes softened, as his eyes slowly went back to it's original form.He panted in exhaustion, defeating the girl had proved to be much harder than he expected, especially since he was using his mangekyou sharingan.

As he bent to pick up Kagome's limp form, a kunai shot out of the trees, embedding itself in the ground next to Kagome.

"We've come to pick up what's our's, I believe."

"GIVE HER BACK TEME!"
