A/N: The reason why there are more than two updates, is because I wanna finish this today and begin the sequel. I'm at school writing this because my computer at home won't let me post a new story and so I want to get the sequel's first chapter done today!

Warnings: Part of this chapter is not in Kikyou's P.O.V... and abuse from The Thunder Brothers to Kikyo.

The Fairytale That Never Happened Chapter 18

--------------------------------------------------

Inuyasha punched the nearest tree as soon as Hiten and Maten disappeared, hard enough to draw blood. His shoulders shook as an actual tear fell. "I couldn't... save her."

Miroku placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Inuyasha we can save her."

The hanyou shook his head. "This is something for me to do... on my own, Miroku."

"But Inuyasha-"

"No, Sango," he interjected. "I ... I need to save her."

"Then at least take Kirara with you for help," Sango pleaded as Kirara mewed going to stand by his side.

Inuyasha looked down at Kirara. "Thanks, all right Kirara, let's go!" He got onto Kirara's back and she flew towards scent of Hiten and Maten.

'Kikyou... I am so sorry,' Inuyasha thought to himself. 'Please forgive me... I couldn't save you... but I'm going to ... if it's the last thing I do!'

--------------------------------------

Kikyou's P.O.V

I was thrown roughly into a dungeon and Maten walked over to me. He was grinning, and it made me shiver like crazy. "Are you cold, miko?" he grinned and tossed something warm and furry on me. When I looked, it appeared to be a kitsune's fur coat. "This is Shippo's father!" I exclaimed.

"Shippo? Ah yes, that kitsune that was with you earlier, yes I remember him," Hiten said, coming into the dungeon. He handcuffed me to the wall. I then only realized I was in the middle, sitting between two skeletons.

"Hope you enjoy your stay here, please come again!" Hiten laughed with Maten as they exited.

My head went to the ground. "Oh Inuyasha... please come for me..."

I spent about an hour or so alone, merely thinking about what has gone on in my life since I met the Inu-tachi. Suddenly, a loud bang was heard outside. "INUYASHA!" I screamed, sensing my mate nearby because of the mark on my neck.

"KIKYO!" a voice exclaimed as the door broke down. But it wasn't Inuyasha, it was Hiten.

"Heh.. he broke down our door," Hiten said. "So.. we brake his woman."

My eyes widened as Hiten struck me across the face. He then grabbed my hair and I let out a yelp of pain. His cold hands against my warm skin left me freezing cold. He then, grinning, grabbed one of my breasts, stroking them. Only Inuyasha could touch me like this..no one else.

'Where's my quiver? My bow? My arrows?' I shivered as he began to stroke me below my back. I hoped he wouldn't go any further. 'Inuyasha my love... please find me...'

"KIKYO!" a voice exclaimed and my eyes widened. Inuyasha was at the door and on Kirara. His eyes were wide with anger at what Hiten was doing to me and sharpened his claws. He then charged for Hiten.

"INUYASHA!" I screamed, truly scared. Not for me. For him. I then realized that my chains were broken because Inuyasha's claws slashed through them. I rubbed my hands and got out a bow and arrow and shot it at Hiten with my best aim, putting all my power into it.

"DIE!" Inuyasha and I exclaimed at the same time as we both sent our attacks at Hiten. Maten got hit too fortunately.

With that, the Thunder Brothers turned into dust.

Inuyasha carefully picked me up in his arms, cradling me like a child. I hugged him tightly. "Oh Inuyasha..." I whispered, hugging him.

"Are you alright, Kikyou?" he whispered to me, looking into my eyes worriedly.

I nodded. "Now that you're here." He hugged me tightly to his chest. "I was afraid he would do something ... worse."

"No one will ever touch you like that .. or in anyway ever again," Inuyasha growled as he brought my head to rest on his chest. I closed my eyes softly. "I'll always protect you."

"I love you, Inuyasha," I whispered, tracing a light pattern on his chest with the pad of my thumb. "Now and forever, for always."

His grip on me tightened. "As I love you, Kikyou my love. For now until the end of time."
