A/N I know guys, I'm sorry I am so bad at posting fast. I'm in the middle of moving so I am a little busy. Please R&R. Another update will be soon
His body had left mine very flustered. I think it took me a good six seconds before I had realized that he had used my arousal against me. I was furious. He was already headed in the direction that would no doubt lead him toward the wolf tribe. That asshole. If he was going to play the 'I always get what I want' game then so would I. I knew that I could run at incredible speeds. Speeds that I know would take him days to catch up to if I was tied up or not. I just had a problem with the stopping part. I wouldn't need to do that for some time. As long as I distanced myself from him there was no way that he could return to his demon form. From what I was told about Ayame's condition I would have to be there.
I knew that his human senses were now as tuned as they could be however it would never match what he had and was to slow in order to catch my body before I sprinted at full speeds into the trees. I didn't look back to see the expression on his face as I took off however I can imagine that they were a sight to behold. Steering in between the trees was harder then I imagined as the wind that also forced me to lose balance had enough force to almost send me head first into the trees at speeds that I'm sure a car couldn't reach. I didn't want to see the outcome if that happened. I knew what the consequences were when a car collided with one. The roots on a tree ran so deep that the full speed of a car did little to no damage. I shivered as I narrowly missed another large tree. I decided to slow my speed. I knew I was approximately fifty kilometres from the musky scent that I now recognized as Sesshomaru. He wasn't reaching me anytime soon.
I slowed to a brisk run and then fell face-first into the ground. Cursing words that would make my former friend shiver I pulled myself from the ground. It was quite disgusting to see the stick protruding from my leg even though the pain was enough to send a startled gasp from my lips. How Inuyasha could have a hand rip through his stomach with only a flinch surprised me greatly. The pain was just as excruciating as when I was a human.
I placed both my hands on the stick that was protruding from my leg. I could tell that the bone had been shattered when the piece of wood had collided with it. I counted to three and pulled the stick out of my leg with a gut wrenching scream. The blood that spilled from my leg was a very small in comparison to the level of the wound it inflicted. I felt my leg bone shift back into place with a snap. I head my breath to keep from screaming as I felt the bone shift back into place.
Then there was another sound. My ears twitched in surprise and my head jerked towards the tress. I sniffed the air and wrinkled my nose. The smell was awful. It reminded me of back home when you walked by a particularly foul fast food restaurant dumpster. It smelled of decay. I braced myself against the tree that was closest to me and waited for the person to walk from the trees. I held my breath to keep from vomiting at the disgusting smell. I could see the figure moving in the trees. Despite the foul smell it seemed to have no problem moving as if it wasn't injured. If I hadn't recognized the metallic smell of blood when I hurt myself I wouldn't have know that this thing was in way worse condition then me.
It was then that I knew what had followed me here. I gasped in horror when I seen the glint of white through the darkness. 'It's not real' I told myself. This whole thing since the beginning was a lie. Soon I would wake up and my friends would be standing around me, worried as to why I cried out in my sleep. I closed my eyes as the scent of decay came closer. I would wake up soon… before this could get worse. Because if this was real, if for some reason the gods were cruel enough to let me suffer after everything that has happened I truly was cursed.
"You seem surprised Kagome, though I admit I am as shocked as you are. The last time I saw you, you were quite different." I repressed the urge to vomit as the white baboon inhaled the scent of my demon blood. "You must tell me how you did it. Stole the power from the great lord of the west. Quite remarkable." His voice was clearly amused however my scowl was met with a chuckle. "You don't appear happy to see me." He took a glance at my healing leg, "It also appears that you do not know how to use your powers."
"I… Killed you.." This time his laugh came out in waves of mirth. I could see the fur of the baboon shift and sway with the chuckle that escaped his mouth.
"Is that what you saw Kagome? As I recall you we not yourself." A flash of blood spattered across my vision. I shook my head. An image of Kohaku slaughtering his father came to the forefront of my mind. "Do you not remember? It was exquisite. The blood was all around you"
Why was it that this was so hard to ignore? Clearly he was goading me. He was lying through his teeth to get to me. Then why was it that I couldn't ignore his words?
"Do you not remember?" He repeated his question with a chuckle. I don't know how long he had been standing so close to me or when he even approached me. I looked past the mask to his decaying features and gasped. An image of Inuyasha looking at me in shock and horror as he fell in front of me flashed across my eyes and suddenly I was standing in the field where everything ended for me. However I now stood as a bystander.
I watched as my human version faced off with Naraku in the last battle. I watched as I shot arrow after arrow at Naraku. I thought we were so close to killing him. His body was broken and not healing because of my arrows.
It was then, as a bystander that I saw the impending doom. It was so small in the chaos that surrounded us that no one noticed the small disturbance in my aura. It crawled up my human leg. At the time I was so oblivious. I watched as it bit in hard to the flesh at my calf. I quickly ran for Inuyasha, wishing to shield him from myself. I was dangerous. I wasn't in control.
He couldn't fight me, he wouldn't. I watched as my friends fell one by one at my feet. I took a step back from my human self. I had killed them… I was the reason that they didn't wake me up to wonder why I was screaming so loudly. Tears streamed down my face as my fox kit screamed as I choked him to death. His lifeless body cuddled closely to my chest. I stumbled back out of the memory in horror. My mind was blank but at the same time running wild with accusations and guilt. I heard Naraku chuckle. "It seems we are more alike then you realized" my body began to shake as I felt something start to shove towards the surface of my sanity. It was like trying to stop a semi-truck before it was hurtled off a cliff with my bare hands. I didn't stand a chance.
