Chapter 12! YAH! let me know what you think please :D

Chapter 12: A haunting Disaster

Kikyou slumped to the ground, feeling the rain fall over her. Why did he run off? They bonded; there was no doubt that he felt something for her. The way he laughed with her, he was enjoying himself with her. They were having fun, something they were both new to. She wasn't the priestess she was before, she was different. She was free; she was able to do things she couldn't do before. They were one in the same, maybe it would be better to just tell him and have herself accept the consequences, no, she couldn't. How will she get Inuyasha to say that he loved her? She suddenly felt all hope die out.

"You're going to catch a cold" said a voice; Kikyou looked up to see Sesshomaru holding out his hand to her. Her eyes widened as she looked at Sesshomaru for the very first time. His face looked so soft and almost kind. His amber eyes were clouded with a blanket of affection. His mouth almost seemed like he was smiling. The rain covered him in water, soaking his hair making it look a little messy but still making him seem like something of a god.

"Sesshomaru" she breathed, why was he here?

"Come on" he said, still holding out his hand, Kikyou didn't understand what was going on but she couldn't help but feel safe when her hand met his.

"Where's Jaken and Rin?" she asked, looking around for them. She wanted to see Rin again.

"Sleeping, Rin is safe and dry I might add" he said, walking her back to the cave. She was surprised to feel suddenly warm as she entered the cave, but also cold. She felt like she had just been used. Though she knew Inuyasha would never take advantage of her she couldn't shake the feeling. Kikyou asked me the same thing Inuyasha's words flowed through her mind. She wasn't being careful with her words. She was so happy she was with him she had lost sight of the things she was allowed to say. There were things that only Kikyou could say to Inuyasha, and asking Inuyasha if he wanted to stop fighting was one of them.

"That's good" she said, ringing out her hair, turning her focus back on Sesshomaru.

"Where's Inuyasha?" he asked, Kikyou rolled her eyes.

"If you came to fight with him he already left" she said, half annoyed. Her goal was to keep the subject off Inuyasha.

"Why did he leave you all alone?" Sesshomaru asked,

"I wish I knew" she said softly, feeling more than just sad. She felt awful; she had never kissed him so much before. All this time and he still hadn't uttered the words 'I love you.' She was starting to wish she could have just moved on.

"I need to tell you something" said Sesshomaru, his seductive voice stealing her away from her thoughts.

"What is it?" she asked, Sesshomaru took in a deep breath.

"I did not want it to be this way" he began, Kikyou suddenly felt highly uncomfortable. Sesshomaru stared at her with sad longing eyes.

"What are you talking about?" she asked, starting to back away from him.

"I'm sorry but I have no choice" he said,

"Sesshomaru what's wrong?" she asked, trying to stay calm as he held her firmly against the cold stone wall. Kikyou no longer felt safe, she couldn't figure out what he was up too. His golden expression stayed the same, those sorrowful eyes never leaving hers. He looked a little nervous, and his body was warm.

"I'm sorry" he said, "I never thought I'd regret hurting someone, but I have no choice" he said, Kikyou still understand what he was going to do but she knew something. Sesshomaru was a cold-blooded beast. A powerful full-fledged demon, a demon that detested humans, a demon who would decapitate anyone without a thoughts of guilt or remorse. Sesshomaru was the type of blood thirsty demon would enjoy his kills. Sesshomaru had feelings for her, that much was clear. He kissed her forehead gently before he dug his acid claws through her chest. Kikyou let out an agonizing scream of pain as the mighty Sesshomaru-sama pulled his hand from her chest. He held his hand up to his face, she caught glimpse of the most painful look on his face as he stared at her blood residing on his hand. He then pulled out a small vile, he used his hand to lift up her head and poured a purplish liquid in her mouth. Kikyou tried to move away but Sesshomaru was too strong and forced her back.

"Why are you doing this?" she asked, Sesshomaru stared at her.

"I have someone to protect" he said, Kikyou eyes widened only a little at his words, then fell unconscious in his arms.

"Glad you could keep our deal" Naraku came up from behind him.

"And Rin?" Sesshomaru asked, ignoring Naraku's first comment. Naraku smiled.

"The curse will be lifted once my plan is complete" he said, Sesshomaru held his anger back/

"That was not part of our deal!" he snarled, "She'll die if she is under the curse any longer!"

"Calm yourself Sesshomaru, She won't die, my plan should be complete soon. Very, very soon" he said, Sesshomaru looked down at Nariko.

"Do you feel guilt? If I didn't know any better I'd say you felt something for her" said Naraku, Sesshomaru glared at him.

"I've only know her a few days, not even, a few hours" he said,

"Don't lose sight of our deal or Rin will be gone in an instant" Naraku warned before disappearing. Sesshomaru looked back down at Nariko. Did he feel something for her? Suddenly she began moving, the liquid inside the vile had begun to take its toll. Nariko began to shake wildly in his arms. Sesshomaru watched as the demon inside her began to take control. Her skin turned pale and her eyes were the color of red velvet. She grew fangs and claws, her eyes containing tears of blood. Sesshomaru laid her down on the ground and gave her one last look before leaving her there in cave. His part of the deal was done; if he did anything else Rin would die.

Inuyasha walked over and hit his fist against a tree. He couldn't quite figure out why Nariko was so much like Kikyou. He loved it, but it also scared him. What was causing his fear? Could it really be that he was scared to love someone who was like Kikyou because of what happened 50 years ago? Did he really believe that they would create the same mistake they did 50 years ago?

"Do I love her?" he said aloud to himself, thinking about Nariko. He thought about everything, Nariko, Kagome, Kikyou, all their similarities. Kagome was Kikyou's reincarnation and yet Nariko was more like Kikyou in many ways than he could count, there was even more to her.

"This is crazy, it has to be just a coincidence" he said, reassuring himself. He turned around and began to head back to the cave and apologize to Nariko. He continued walking through the rain and stopped when he heard a sound.

"Who's there?" he asked, twitching his dog ears. He could smell the strong scent of blood and a low growling noise.

"Hello?" he said, just then he heard footsteps. Nariko came out, her skin was extremely pale and she bore a wound in her chest even worse than before. It was acid that had begun to eat away at her body. She was drenched in blood, but not just her own. Had she killed people before meeting him here? Her eyes were red and she had grown claws and fang.

"Nariko" Inuyasha stated, "What happened to you?" he asked, moving closer to her zombie like form. There was no doubt she had lost control, she really did have a demon inside her.

"Run" he mumbled, "I-I can't control it" she forced out.

"No, I'm running" he said, "Let me help you" he said, reaching out for her hand.

"You must die" she said as she slashed his face with her razor sharp claws. Inuyasha stumbled back, his hand holding on his bloodied face.

"Run" she told him as she slashed at him again. Inuyasha fell to the ground in pain. He stood up to face her, he wouldn't run, he had so many women who meant the world to him, he wouldn't lose another.

"I told you I ain't running" Inuyasha panted as he stared at her. Her eyes never changed, she pulled out her bow staff, hitting with painful blows. Inuyasha did his best to swallow up his pain each and every time Nariko dug in her staff in his body. Inuyasha still stood up, blood painted his body, his eye sight was starting to get blurry. He couldn't find himself to hit back, he couldn't, because he was in love with her.

"I won't give up" he told her only to get kicked back against a tree, his Tetsusaiga flying out of reach. Nariko walked up to him.

"Run, run while you-yo- still can" she warned, Inuyasha looked up at her. His eye sight was still fuzzy, but there was no doubt that she was crying tears of pain. She was crying, which meant someone was controlling her, not just her demon half. Nariko raised up the bow staff

"Nariko wait, tell me who's controlling you" he said, he saw her hesitate. "Please, don't do this, I care about you Nariko!" he shouted, he could see the fright in her, she was fighting with her inner demon. Suddenly she let out an angry growl,

"Nariko," Inuyasha said softly, "I lo-"

"Inuyasha!" Nariko sobbed uncontrollably, cutting him off as she jabbed her staff through his chest. Inuyasha felt a rush of pain burn through his body, then slowly felt his life slip away from his grasp.

"Inuyasha!" Kikyou cried, she stared in disbelief at Inuyasha's battered body. He sat there lifeless with her bow staff in his chest. Why did this happen? Why? Suddenly it felt like 50 years ago. Where she was standing with her arms extended holding tight to her bow and arrow, staring at Inuyasha who she had just pinned to the sacred tree. Back then she used her strength to seal him in a deep sleep, but now, she used her strength to kill him. Kikyou could feel her body becoming numb, she was still trapped in her demon form. Her let out tears of disgust as she stared down at her bloodied claws. She used these hands to hurt him, she hurt him. What have I done? Inuyasha, I couldn't control myself. What's happening to me! Why is this happening! She screamed in her mind. Why couldn't she remember anything? What happened after Inuyasha left her alone? She felt her hands move towards her wound, she felt weak and sick to her stomach, her body was being eaten away by this acid that was now in her body. She ignored the pain and slowly began to crawl to Inuyasha but was stopped by Kagome. She looked up at her, Kagome had tears in her eyes as she pointed Kikyou's own bow down at her. She was alone, Sango must have stayed with Miroku and Shippo. This wasn't good at all, she looked like a demon and she had just killed Inuyasha. She was now an enemy.

"You, this is your entire fault" she yelled angrily, Kikyou could find no words, she couldn't believe what she had done. "Everyone believed you were this good person, but I knew what you really are" Kagome said, she was angry and also trembling with sadness.

"I didn't mean to do this" she said, seeming to now have control over her words.

"Shut up!" Kagome screamed, "I'm done hearing your lies!" she cried as she shot the first sacred arrow, Kikyou moved away quickly.

"Kagome please listen to me, this wasn't my doing!" she shouted,

"I'm not a fool" Kagome flared, releasing another arrow, then placing another in its place, about to unleash it.

"Why would I kill Inuyasha!" Kikyou asked frantically, "I love him!"

Kagome stopped in her tracks,

"You too made a mistake by piercing Inuyasha's heart with a sacred arrow!" Kikyou shouted over the pouring rain.

"How did you know about that?" Kagome asked confused, she looked back at Inuyasha before falling to her knees in tears. Kagome looked over at Kikyou who was laying on the floor staring back at her. Kikyou watched as Kagome's eyes suddenly widened in immense surprise.

"You… I now know why things didn't feel right with you around, why Inuyasha was clinging so much to you" Kagome began, "But how?"

"Don't say it" said Kikyou, everything was ruined. Kagome had figured it out, she found out that Nariko was actually Kikyou. Kagome shook her head,

"You're K-"

Before Kagome could finish saying Kikyou's name, Kikyou let out a massive agonizing scream. Something wasn't right, she felt her body begin to move on its own. Kill Kagome said a voice, kill her, kill Kagome, you know you want to said the voice. Kikyou felt herself lose control of her body as she ran to slice at Kagome. Kagome moved away and grabbed her bow and arrow, shooting arrow after arrows. Kikyou moved quickly and grabbed her bow staff from Inuyasha's limp body. Hitting Kagome with every amount of strength she had, no, stop this, she doesn't deserve this! What's wrong with me! Why can't I remember! She screamed. She pushed Kagome to the ground, pointing her staff down at her.

"I was wrong" Kagome began, Kikyou felt herself halt. "You're not Kikyou, even though I envied her, even though she may have hated me, she would never let a demon overcome her. Never." Kagome stated. Kikyou knew Kagome was right, the real Kikyou would never let any demon take control over her. She controlled herself, she was stronger than any demon would ever be. She had the power to be unbeatable, she could stop this. Kikyou could feel the demon inside her trying to fulfill the voice's wishes and kill Kagome but Kikyou wouldn't allow it. Ayumi help me! I can't do this alone! I'm so scared, this wasn't supposed to happened. It shouldn't have turned out this way, I've gotten to weak, my love for Inuyasha has weakened me, I can't control myself anymore…

"Forgive me!" she cried, as she about to stabbed Kagome with the final blow, but someone pushed Kikyou out of the way seconds before she could kill Kagome. Kikyou rolled over feeling herself loosen up as she saw Inuyasha standing in front of her, looking down on her. His eyes bright red, his body still battered and bloodied, his claws long and sharp, his fangs sharp and dangerous.

"You're alive" Kikyou breathed, Inuyasha didn't answer.

"Inuyasha's demon has been awaken, he can't control himself in that state" Kagome yelled, suddenly smiling at her. Kikyou back over at Kagome. Kagome knows I am Kikyou, why isn't she saying anything? Kikyou thought. Inuyasha let out a terrifying growl as he raised up his right hand, ready to attack her but Kagome ran and held a firm grip on his arm.

"Nariko run! He's going to try and kill you, you have to run, I can't hold on to him for much longer" Kagome ordered, Kikyou stared up at her. Kagome knew, but she was helping. Kikyou smiled,

"Thank you" she mouthed before running into the darkness.
