The Fairytale That Never Happened

Chapter 3

Inuyasha led us far away from the burning and destroyed village. Far from where Kaede and I spent our lives, growing up into what we are now. Though, I must admit, I didn't change very much.

Kaede never woke up for the whole journey. I had to reassure myself that she was still alive by pressing my ear against her chest just to make sure she was still breathing. Inuyasha had been silent throughout the whole trip, and no youkai or jaki had bothered us since the attack at the village.

About an hour later, it began to get darker. Inuyasha began to speak. "Kikyou, we need a place to stay for the night. Then we can possibly tend to Kaede-chan's wounds."

I nodded at him and looked around. I spotted a forest not too far from here. "Over there, Inuyasha. Would that be good?"

Inuyasha sniffed around. He nodded and pounced off with Kaede and I on his back. We were just minutes away from the forest, when a demon appeared, lashing out at me. "Kikyo!" Inuyasha yelled as I fell to the ground, my imouto beside me.

"IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!" I heard him yell. I looked up from the ground and saw him slashing the demon. But then, more came. I screamed as one of them grabbed me and threw me up in the air. "KIKYO!" he screamed again. "NO!" he screamed and slashed the other two demons to bits. "BLADES OF BLOOD!" he screamed.

When all the youkai were destroyed, he ran over to me and carried me gently in his arms. "Kikyou, are you alright?" he asked me softly.

"Hai…I'm fine, Inuyasha," I replied, wincing at a searing pain in my left shoulder. Inuyasha noticed and let the part of my shirt go down so he could see it. There was a huge gash and blood was coming out quickly.

Inuyasha hissed. "We need to get you to the nearest vill-"

"Inuyasha, the nearest village is over a day's walk from here!" I exclaimed. "There's no way we could get there in time!"

"Oh yes there is!" he grunted with me and Kaede in his arms as he ran from the forest and towards the village. "It may be a day's walk for a normal human with no transportation, but if you haven't forgotten, I'm a hanyou who can run two times faster than any mortal. Don't worry, we'll get to the village in time," he said. "I won't let you down. Not again."

Inuyasha... I thought to myself, smiling.

A/N: Thank you for the reviews, LatyfeSurLeSora, raccu, and YonderTiger. Yes, I realize the kiss was a bit fast in coming, but if you check chapter 1 it says "It's been two years since that fateful day where I met Inuyasha as he saved me from the youkai." So it really was not all that fast anyway. But their relationship will be slow from this point forward, I don't want to rush into anything. So please go back to chapter one or the prologue on how they met. The prologue was not in Kikyou's p.o.v, however the rest of the chapters will be. Unless I decide to make one in Inuyasha's p.o.v, which I might. Miroku and Sango will also make appearances, and possibly Kagome, however she won't be Kikyou's reincarnation. Hmm... I wonder how that will turn out?

Please continue to review!
