IT HAS BEEN 11 1/2 MONTHS SINCE KAGOME HAD FIRST FALLEN DOWN THE WELL. AND THERE ADVENTURE IS COMING TO AN END. or is it?
BY THE WAY SANGO AND MIROKO'S HUT ISNT IN KEADE'S VILLAGE BUT ABOUT A TWO DAY JOURNEY AWAY!!!!! (sry i forgot to tell you cause im stupid O.o I cant believe i just told you THAT!! but dont worry im smart!)
It was night now and the group was sitting in Keade's hut.
"What how could something like that just happen?"
"Inuyasha is there something else you didnt say? Anything important right before the jewel began to disolve?"
"No not anything that would effect the jewel."
"Oh I wish I could help, but when i passed out i forgot a lot about last night."
The group discussed what could have made the jewel disolve just like that. Inuyasha really had diffrent thoughts. Kikyo's scent was drawing near and since Inuyasha told Kagome his feelings he could just go off and talk to her. "Kikyo is here." Inuyasha's comment hushed the group. "What? KIkyo. Maybe...." Kagome trailed offf in thought.
"Inuyasha what are you going to say to her?" Miroko asked. "I don't have a clue. But whatever I say, I feel this won't end very well. "I agree." Miroko replied. "Inuyasha we will come if you want." Sango offered. "No. Kikyo needs to hear it from Inuyasha and Inuyasha alone. I know this will hurt her and she won't need and audience." Kagome said, really this was her way of telling Inuyasha 'I won't be sad, you can go. I understand why and I will be here waiting for you.' "Thank you Kagome" Inuyasha whispered in Kagome's ear has he got up from his spot next to her and left.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ELSEWHERE, in the Forest of Inuyasha.*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Inuyasha. What have you done to the shikon jewel? How did you purify it?" Kikyo waisted no time. "KIkyo, how do you know something has happened to the shikon jewel? And what do you me I purified it?" Inuyasha was alrady confused by the living-dead priestess. Kikyo stood in front of Inuyasha with her usual blank face watching his every move. "I felt it. Me and that sad little girl you carry around are both connected to the jewel. And I know you did it because...Actually i don't really know, I guess it just a feeling." Kikyo smiled her slight smile."Kikyo don't speak of Kagome that way! She is just as stong as you and I....." Inuyasha stopped when he realized what he was saying. "AND YOU WHAT INUYASHA?!?!" KIkyo knew what he was saying and hate boiled inside of her. "I LOVE HER! I TOLD HER YESTERDAY!!!" Inuyasha had to get the fact out but he couldnt get it out in anything other then a scream. Kikyo's face was full of anger, the air around burned red and black, her aura was flaring out of control. HEr aura alone threw Inuyasha into a tree, leaving him barley concusion. "YOU UNGRATEFUL HALF DEMON!!!!!!!!!! YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME AND NOW YOU TURN YOUR BACK TO ME TO BE WITH A STUPID, WEAK, REINCARNATION OF MYSELF!!!!! DIE!!!!" Then was attempting to stand but he had to lean against the tree, but KIkyo felt no pity and shot an arrow of purification at Inuyasha.
All Inuyasha could do was stare at the arrow flying toward him and attempt movement, but Kikyo's aura disabled him. It only took a second for Inuyasha to feel the arrows power blowing his hair back, 'Kagome.' Inuyasha closed his eyes. WHOOSH, TING!! Inuyasha fell to the ground.
"INUYASHA!!" Kagome ran in front of Inuyasha. His arm was seriously injured, plus the wound was surround in a terrible burn from the pure aura. Inuyasha let out grunts of pain as tried to postion himself more comfortably. "I'll..be..o..ok" Inuyasha said, he was unable to ignore the pain in his arm and shoulder. "Don't try to move!" Kagome yelled.
'How did Kikyo miss me? She is a master archer. She never misses, and she was aiming for my arm. "Kagome what happened? I should be dead right now." "DONT WORRY INUYASHA! YOU'LL BE DEAD THIS TIME!!!!!!!" and Kikyo shot another arrow Inuyasha's was. Kagome took an arrow out of her quiver and shot the arrow. This time it hit the tree, pinning a lock of Inuyasha's hair beside face. "Inuyasha I'm sorry, Kikyo's arrows are to strong for me to diflect, I can only alter their paths slightly. So can you get behind the tree?" Kagome said as quietly as possible so only he could hear it.
"SHUT UP AND DIE HALF DEMON!!!! STOP MAKING THIS WENCH BATTLE FOR YOU!!" Kikyo was trying use Inuyasha's pride and the for Kagome to bring him to fight alone which would obviously end in his death. "KIKYO STOP IT!!! IF YOU REALLY EVER LOVED INUYASHA THEN YOU WOULDNT WANT HIM TO DIE NO MATTER WHAT!!! IF YOU LOVED HIM YOU WOULD JUST WANT HIM TO BE HAPPY!!!!!!!!!" With that Kagome shot an arrow at Kikyo. Kikyo did the same as Kagome she could only alter the arrow's path.
Inuyasha had lost a lot of blood and was losing consciousness. "Kag-o-me" Inuyasha spat out before falling to the ground with a large thud. Kagome turned to see a small trail of blood and Inuyasha unconscious at the end of it. Then she forgot all about Kikyo and ran to him.
"INUYASHA WAKE UP!" She checked his pulse. It was barely there, he was dying. "INUYASHA WAKE UP!! WAKE UP!! PLEASE INUYASHA!!!!"
Kikyo let out a heart wrenching laugh, "Any second now he'll be dead so don't waste your breath!" Kagome turned to face Kikyo, her eyes held tears. Her eyes looked deadly enough to be mistaken for a demon's. A blue aura flared even larger than Kikyo's red one had, it had no effect on Inuyasha's injured form but Kikyo could move, "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" Kagome screamed as she sucked the aura out of Kikyo and it entered her body once again. Kikyo screamed as well but it faded as her form turned in dust and we blown away by a light gust.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~In the village*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Oh why did Kagome refuse our help?!?!" Sango asked Miroko as the paced around the village.
"I don't know why, but it was obvious she didn't want us to come." Miroko stated, "But Kagome's strong and so is Inuyasha so we have nothing to worry about until they come back." Sango frowned and cradled the sleeping Ai in her arms, "Oh Miroko I hope your right." Miroko had Ie resting on her chin on his shoulder has she slept. Miroko looked around, "Hey where is Shippo?"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~In the forest*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Kagome strained herself trying to lift Inuyasha. "Mew" Kagome's head whipped around. "KIRARA!" Kagome was happy to see the little two-tail. Kirara transformed and the young fox demon came out of the shadows, he asked in a worried tone "Kagome do you need any help getting Inuyasha on Kirara?" Kagome was worried sick for Inuyasha and she wouldn't have been able to get him into the village since she had used so much of her power to fend off Kikyo, she herself was closed to passing out, "Yes, we need to hurry Kikyo hit a main artery. He is losing blood fast!" Shippo and Kagome got Inuyasha onto Kirara.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~There you go!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
WILL INUYASHA BE OK?
