I Promise To Come Back-Time To Die Kagome-
It was a beautiful day outside. The sun was shining and the birds were singing. It seemed like nothing could ever ruin this day.
"Lets go!" Rin said happily.
"How are we supposed to get their Sesshoumaru?" Sota asked.
Sesshoumaru continued to walk, "By carriage…"
"Will Ah-Un be taking us?" Rin asked.
"Yes." Inuyasha said grumpily.
"But why?" Sota asked again.
"You two ask too many questions you know that!" Inuyasha snapped.
Sesshoumaru sighed, "Ah-Un is the most trusted demon to take us there safely."
"But I mean why do we have to go by carriage?" Sota corrected.
"We have to arrive there with some class." Sesshoumaru said.
Sota nodded his head, "Okay… what ever that means."
Rin smiled brightly, "I guess it's to make us look good since uncle Yasha has no class at all!"
Inuyasha growled at the comment, which made the two little kids run away.
The servants finished packing all of their trunks and bags in the very back of the carriage. Sesshoumaru sat in the very front with his annoying toad assistant named Jaken. Inuyasha sat in the very back with the rest of the luggage while he watched over Rin and Sota.
"Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha growled.
Sesshoumaru glared back at Inuyasha, "What do you want half-breed?"
Inuyasha ignored the half-breed part, "What are those mangy wolves doing here?"
Sesshoumaru looked back and saw Koga and his wolves following the carriage, "I invited them."
"Why?" Inuyasha snapped.
"We need as much back-up as we can get just in case this is a trick." Sesshoumaru said, "So stop complaining because they're going to be with us for a long time."
"What ever…" Inuyasha muttered and closed his eyes.
-Back At Eastern Lands-"Kaede you old hag! You got my order in yet?" a rude voice asked.
"Iie! No not yet Kikyou dear." Kaede said patiently.
Kikyou growled, "If I do not get those new maid uniforms for those pieces of trash by tomorrow I will have your head Kaede-Sama! You understand!"
"Understood… But, why are ye buying them new uniforms if ye don't mind me asking?" Kaede asked.
Kikyou sighed, "We need something new and presentable for them since our guests will be arriving soon. I mean c'mon! Those pleated green sailor skirt uniforms are all raggedy and out of style now. Not to mention out of season."
"Yes of course." Kaede mumbled, "Now back to ye lesson."
Kikyou rolled her eyes and shot her arrow at the tiny target at the very top of an oak tree. She hit the target perfectly in the center. Archery was her very special skill and nobody could take that away from her.
"Very impressive!" Kaede said kind of shocked.
Kikyou glared at the old woman, "Don't sound so surprised! We both know I'm an expert archer."
Kikyou picked up her bow and arrows and stomped off, "I have better things to do!"
Kaede watched Kikyou leave, "She's up to something, I'm sure of it."
-With Kagome-
It was noon and Kagome had just woken up. She never slept so late over here in the eastern lands. Usually she would have to wake up at sunrise with the rest of the girls. But, they were still doing her chores so she had nothing better to do but sleep in.
Kagome sneakily found her way into the hot springs section. Nobody was ever aloud in there unless it was on Kikyou's orders. But, Kagome really didn't care anymore, she's been doing what she wants ever since the fight. And she was positive nothing would happen to her.
After a nice long soak in the hot springs she went back to bed to relax. She lay on her bed for a while and then Sango walked in.
Sango shook her head in disbelief, "Your still in bed!"
Kagome rolled over and smiled, "Yes… And it feels good."
Sango sat down next to Kagome and gave her a bowl of soup and rice, "They're treating you like a celebrity."
"Yup… for now at least." Kagome said starting to eat her food.
"How long do you think it will last?" Sango asked.
Kagome made a confused face, "I don't know. Until Inuyasha comes."
"What ever. But, you should get out of bed." Sango said poking Kagome's stomach.
Kagome sighed, "But, why?"
Sango's jaw dropped when she heard Kagome, "Cause you becoming a lazy bum that's why!!!"
"Fine, I'll get out of bed… eventually." Kagome said smiling.
Sango pulled Kagome out of bed; "No you're getting out of bed NOW!!!"
Kagome held onto her bed, "Wait! My food!"
Sango let Kagome go, "Hurry up because Shippo wants to play with you."
Kagome jumped up at once, "Oh, okay! Why you didn't say so earlier!"
Sango left the room and Kagome quickly shoved the rest of her food in her mouth, 'Whoever said I had to be lady like and chew my food when nobody's around' Kagome thought.
Kagome ran into the bathroom and dug into the laundry basket to find something to wear other than her maid uniform. The only thing she could find was Kikyou's priestess clothes.
"How the hell her stuff gets mixed up with ours." Kagome said slightly annoyed.
'What ever.' She thought to herself and put on the red priestess hakama and white haori. She didn't bother tying her hair back because she was afraid that she might actually look like Kikyou.
Kagome climbed out of the window and slid down the railing, she didn't want to accidentally run into Kikyou in the halls of the palace and have another fight cause she had better things to do. Like taking care of her son.
Kagome walked on the very outskirts of the village. She wanted to keep as much distance from her and the villagers. But, some people did see her and bowed to her, thinking that she was Kikyou, which disgusted her most. They looked nothing alike. At least that was her opinion.
Kagome walked to the bathhouse and waited for hours. But, Shippo had too much work to do. She didn't want to interrupt him so she decided to practice her priestess powers deep in the forest while she waited for him. She was using her priestess powers to help make flowers grow.
"Damn! He's still not done..." She whispered to herself.
The sun was setting, and it was starting to get windy. Kagome was starting to shiver.
"Your going to die…" whispered a dark voice.
Kagome quickly turned around but nothing was there.
-With Sango-
"Where's Kagome?" Sango asked Yura.
"Didn't you go up to her room hours ago and gave her lunch." Yura said.
"No… That wasn't me." Sango said a little confused.
"It had to be you." Yura said.
"Well it wasn't." Sango shot back a little annoyed.
"It was you Sango. You probably don't remember." Ayumi said.
"What are you talking about? I haven't seen Kagome all day!" Sango said.
"Well I saw you ask Mirouku to give you some rice for Kagome in the kitchen earlier." Eri said as she walked into the conversation.
"I did not!" Sango said.
"It had to be you. You're the only one with that face. And there's no way all three of us could mistake someone else as you." Yura said.
"If it wasn't me. Then who was it?" Sango asked a little confused and shocked.
"I don't know." The three girls said in unison.
"Do you think Kikyou has something to do with this?" Eri asked.
Sango's eyes widened at that question, "I'm going to go look for her!" she said and ran out the room.
-Back With Kagome-
"Who's there?" Kagome asked.
Kagome got no response so she started to get away from that spot as soon as possible. And she was so worried about who was watching her that she didn't realize that the voices were leading her deeper into the forest.
Kikyou watched Kagome from the darkness, "That bitch is wearing my clothes."
Kagome stopped walking and sat down at a little waterfall. That was a perfect target for Kikyou. She came out from her hiding place and quickly raised her bow and arrow at Kagome.
"Kagome!" Kikyou called.
Kagome her head and her eyes widened with fear and shock when she saw Kikyou with the bow and arrows.
Kikyou shot the single arrow at Kagome, "Die!"
And just like Kikyou had planned… the arrow pierced Kagome right in the chests. Close to where her heart was. Kagome fell back and screamed in pain. Kikyou smiled and kicked Kagome into the waterfall, but luckily it wasn't deep enough for Kagome to drown. Kagome blood was spreading throughout the pool of water at the end of the waterfall.
Kikyou laughed, "I told you that you would pay with your life Kagome!"
Kagome fainted, and the last thing she saw was Kikyou leaving her.
-Back With Inuyasha-
Inuyasha didn't now how. But, sometime he fell asleep. And he had had the worst nightmare of his life. It started with the horrible dream he had when he was just a toddler, with Onigumo and Naraku slaughtering his parents. Then it went to Naraku kidnapping Kagome. Then it ended with Kagome lying on the floor in a pool of blood and an arrow through her chests.
"Why you didn't come back for me Inuyasha?" she asked in a whisper and with tears in her eyes.
And that's how it ended.
"Please let her be alright…" Inuyasha whispered.
"What did you say?" Sota asked.
Inuyasha glared back at the boy, "Shut up and go to sleep, it's late!"
"You don't have to bite my head off you know!" Sota snapped back and moved away from Inuyasha.
-Back With Sango-
Sango searched for Kagome for hours. Even little Shippo was helping her look. He said he hadn't seen her since yesterday. The two questioned practically every person they could find. But, there was no luck.
Shippo cried, "Me want my mama!"
"Don't worry, we'll find her." Sango said trying to comfort the boy. But, the truth was that she was worried herself.
They looked in the forest. They checked they're secret hangout, she wasn't there. They checked the cave, she wasn't there. They checked the bathhouse, she wasn't there. But, Shippo did catch Kagome's scent.
"She was here a while a ago." Shippo said.
The two followed Kagome's scent until they both could smell blood. It was pitch black outside. Sango could barely see. But, when they got close to the waterfall she could see Kagome's limp blue body in the water clearly.
"Iie Kami-Sama!" Sango screamed and ran towards her friend.
Shippo fell to the ground and cried, "Iie okkasan!"
Sango pulled Kagome out of the water and held her close, "No… please don't die Kagome! You're like a sister to me. You're the only thing I've got now. And I'm not going to have another family member die!"
Shippo crawled over towards Kagome and licked her cheek, "Please wake up mama…"
Sango carefully started to pull out the arrow, but that just made more blood spill. So she carried Kagome's limp body towards Kaede's hut. Shippo staggered behind her.
