Hey Guys! Here's the Second chapter! So I just wanted to say this fanfiction isn't exactly a "Let's All Bash On Kikyo" fanfiction, but I'm sure the Kikyo haters will like it. Well that's all I really have to say :) I think I have to change the rating of this story though because of it's...colorful...language. But then again, I don't know. What do you guys think? Just send me a review if you think I should change the rating pleasee. Anways, I do not own Inuyasha.
Kikyo's POV-
When I was absolutely certain she was no longer watching me, I smiled before changing directions and heading to Kaede's village. Then, when I was sure she wouldn't be able to detect my spiritual power, I focused on transporting myself to the village in order to get there faster. One of the many perks of being dead.
Usually, I didn't have to use said power because of my soul detectors, and I was never truly in a rush for anything, but now was different. The girl was right. Inuyasha would come searching for her soon, and if my plan was going to work, every thing had to be finished before that happened.
I had no intention of fulfilling the promises I made to that girl. Inuyasha would feel guilty if he knew what she did, so I had to make sure he think she left him for selfish reasons.
I considered telling her she ran off to be with that Koga fellow, but knowing canine demons, he would go and fight to get her back. It was in his demon nature to take back what was his, or what his demon considered his.
It is easy to tell that Inuyasha's human heart still held feelings for me, but that same heart held feelings for that girl Kagome as well. Usually that would be fine since human hearts are weak, and emotions can over power the others, but his demon heart wanted nothing but Kagome, and that could prove to be a problem for me.
If Inuyasha knew he could still reach her, he would do anything to get her back, and then he could realize that his emotions for that girl outshine his emotions for me. However, if his human heart felt betrayed by the girl, he'd immediately choose me. After all, hasn't he done so before in reverse?
I remember a promise the girl made to him. She told him she would always stay with him until he didn't want her to anymore. That, right there, was the answer to my problem. I needed to make it seem like she broke that promise, and thus break his trust in her.
In a way, she has broke said promise already. By giving me her soul, she feels like she can no longer be with him, so she left him, but if he knew her reasoning he'd immediately forgive her and his emotions for her would increase because of the lengths she was willing to go for him. However, that would not help my cause.
Once my body materialized completely, I found myself on the outskirts of Kaede's village, near the sacred tree. It didn't take me long to locate the bone eaters well which Kagome used to travel from her world to ours. I gently placed my hand on the rim and felt the magic of the thing pulse through my body.
"Excellent" I murmured, before clasping my hands together as if I was about to pray. I then started reciting an ancient prayer, chanting it over and over again, and I felt the magic in the well seal itself completely. Once the well was sealed, I chanted another prayer, locking the seal so only I, or someone stronger then me, could remove it if they truly wanted to
Once that was done, I stared blankly at the stupid well, thinking about all the trouble it's caused me since my resurrection. That girl, no matter how many times she fled this world, she always came back. Did she truly love Inuyasha that much? Of course she did..she wouldn't have given me her soul if she didn't.
I smiled again before focusing the rest of my energy on transporting myself to the place my soul collector found Kagome. I found her abandoned basket of herbs, picking it up gently, examining the thing. Surely these must be for Kaede. I should bring them to her when we go back to the village.
"Kikyo?" I heard someone ask suddenly, causing me to look up to see Inuyasha starring at me. His eyes drifted to the basket in my hands before back to my face, confused. "Have you seen Kagome?" he asked softly, and I could see fear in his eyes. Something I've never seen in them before.
"As a matter of fact I have. I was visiting the village when I saw her run through towards the bone eaters well. She was carrying the fox cub with her. She looked distressed so I followed her and saw her jump in. That is why I came here to see if I could find out what happened" I explained nonchalantly, hoping he didn't think to much about my words.
The village was a far ways off, but you could make it there within an hour if you ran straight there without stopping. I just hoped he didn't read too much into it to assume I may be lying.
"W-what? What do you mean! She just left and she brought Shippo with her!" he growled, and I could see the sadness he was trying to hide. Not long after he showed up, the demon slayer and monk arrived, riding the two tail. When they saw me, I saw the demon slayer's eyes change to complete hatred, shocking me, and I even saw some resentment in the monks eyes.
"Where's Kagome?" the girl Sango, hissed, never taking her eyes off me, as if accusing me of hurting the girl. Inuyasha snarled under his breath, fighting to control his emotions, while the monk just stared at the scene.
"She left...she went home.." Inuyasha stated, before looking up and starring at them. "Come on, we're going back to the village, I'm bringing her back" he said and they nodded.
"I'm coming with you" I announced, which caused their heads to snap up to look at me. "I would like to visit my sister, and I assume these herbs were meant to go to her. Once Inuyasha returns with Kagome, I shall set off" I explained, before looking at Inuyasha. "Will you allow me to do so?" I asked, and I could see him falter.
"Fine...Sango, bring her on Kiara" he commanded, and I saw the demon slayer sneer before nodding. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. Didn't he carry Kagome on his back when they traveled? Why not me?
Sango helped me onto the back of the two tail, behind the monk, who seemed to move forward as much as possible. It was clear they didn't want anything to do with me, but they'd have to get use to that.
We traveled in silence. Inuyasha was always twenty or so feet ahead, and he didn't even bother looking back to see me. I couldn't help but feel angry at Kagome. She wasn't even here and she was still taking him away from me. As far as I know she was already killed by a demon or something, although that's not likely.
When we finally did make it to the bone eaters well, I turned like I was about to go to the village, but kept my pace slow. I knew what would happen, but I still need to be shocked.
"What!" I heard Inyasha's voice, and turned immediately to see him jump out of the well, then back in again. He did this over and over again, while his friends all watched in confusion.
"What's the hell's going on!" he screamed when he jumped out again, and I dropped the basket of herbs before approaching the well. I then closed my eyes and focused on my seal before putting my best shocked expression on my face and turning towards the others.
"The wells been sealed from the other side" I stated nervously, and watched their eyes all widen. "Here, maybe I can reverse it" I said before using as little power as possible to try and reverse it. The lock on the seal immediately shocked me, pushing me back and causing me to scream. The worst part was Inuyasha didn't even try to see if I was okay.
"It's no use, the seals been locked, and judging by the amount of power in the seal, I have to say Kagome was the one who sealed it" I said, and watched as Inuyasha's ears went flat on his head.
"No, no there's no way she would do that. She promised to stay with me always. She never breaks her promises! Something must have happened" he said, before jumping in the well again. I watched with wide eyes as he did this over and over again, cursing every now and then.
The monk soon grabbed the herbs before heading to Kaede's. I decided to wait for Inuyasha, but before to demon slayer left she pulled me aside, glaring at me.
"Listen Kikyo, I don't trust you, and if I find out you did anything to Kagome, then I'll make the rest of your unnatural life so fucking miserable it makes hell look like fucking paradise. You understand? No one messes with my friends. You're hiding something, and I'll do whatever it takes to find out what it is. I am not going to let Inuyasha or Kagome suffer any more because of you" she hissed, her glare never faltering.
"Are you threatening me?" I accused which only caused her to smirk at me in a sadistic manner. She then started walking back to the village before turning and starring at me.
"I don't make threats, Kikyo. I make promises, and I promise if I find out something happened to her, I'll tear you apart. So watch yourself you fucking zombie" she growled before walking away.
I then turned my attention back to Inuyasha and saw he was still trying to get through the well, and for the first time I saw moisture in his eyes. I felt an uncomfortable feeling pulling at my stomach, and my eyes widened as I suddenly felt guilt for what I've done.
For the rest of the night, Inuyasha continued to try and get through the well, muttering curses and screaming in aggravation ever so often. In fact, I even saw his eyes turning a red color every once in a while which made me start to think, would he ever get over her? Was all of this for nothing?
I quickly shook my head, dislodging the thought immediately. Inuyasha was a dog demon, which means he's extremely loyal. Of course he would be mourning the loss of one of his companions, and being his instinctive nature, this was only natural. In the end he'd come back to me, I just had to let the anger seep through.
Then there came the issue with the demon slayer. She was a smart girl, and she could tell I wasn't being truthful, but I can't worry about that. Kagome won't come back, and there's no way I'll tell her the truth. The only witnesses were the soul collectors, which won't leave Kagome's side, and the fox cub, who is also stuck to her like glue.
Sango will just continue to search around for invisible evidence, and when she can't find any, she'll have to let it go. She'll then have to admit to me she was wrong and that'll only prove to Inuyasha there is nothing to worry about.
He'll get over the girl soon, and when he does, I'll be right here with the good news that I found a compatible soul for my body. It'd be like I was living again, and he'll be so happy he'll forget about Kagome forever. Everything will fall into place.
However, as I watched him continue to jump in and out of the well, I still felt guilty. He looked so lost, so betrayed, so angry, and yet I couldn't tell who it was directed at.
Then I thought about Kagome, if Inuyasha is acting like this, just think about how sees acting. She looked so confused and empty when I last saw her, I just don't understand it. Why did I feel guilty, why should I even care?
After a long while, I decided there was no point in waiting for him to finish, he would be doing this all night. So with that, I headed towards the village to get some rest. In the morning, I would tell them that I would stay with them and help them collect the jewel shards in Kagome's place, and convince them to set off on our journey. If they started questioning the villagers whether I was here or not, they might find out I was lying.
When I entered Kaede's hut, the monk and Sango immediately looked up and glared at me. Obviously the monk didn't like me just as much as Sango, but chose to hide it for Inuyasha's sake, while Sango didn't care, and was very open with her feelings.
I greeted Kaede quietly before seating myself on the other side of the room. The three of them immediately started having a conversation, excluding me, and I realized that even Kaede didn't think I should be here. What exactly had Kagome done in my absence to get everyone to cherish her so?
Either way, I could tell this night would be very long, and possibly every night until Inuyasha got over his loss. That means I'd have to practice something I never cared for. Patience. They would all come around eventually, maybe not as easily as they had with Kagome, but eventually none the less.
All I had to do was make sure no one found out the truth, if they did, I believe Sango will happily keep her promise and make the rest of this life miserable.
And that's the end of chapter two! Don't forget to send me a review and explain your thoughts on the rating. Should I change it because of the language or what? I'll be looking forward to hearing from you!
