Before letting go of the arrow, Kagome had charged it up with her purification. She happened to over charged it causing the arrow to fly more quickly than intended. The bow had snapped in two at the same moment.
"Maybe she'll be smart enough to move fast enough to jump out of the way." Kagome thought as she waited to see what happened. She really did want Kikiyou to die but she though of how miserable Sango would be if Kikiyou did die. Kagome's heart was pounding in her throat as the feeling of death crawled up into her stomach.
The arrow come flying toward Kikiyou. She had gasped as Sango whipped out her hand in the pathway of the arrow. Sango's attempt to save Kikiyou had failed. The arrow ripped right through Sango's hand. Sango had screamed in pain. Kikiyou wanted to rush to Sango's aid but was sharply pinned down.
Kagome gasped. Her heart started to sink into the lowest pits of her hateful self. "Sango!" She cried out. She rushed over to Sango. "Why are you so stupid to put your hand out like that?" Kagome got out her first aid kit to heal the wounded Sango.
"Get off me!" She hissed. "If you didn't interfere then Kikiyou or I wouldn't have ever gotten hurt!"
A glow came from Kikiyou's chest. Her heart started to race and pick up speed. The Shikon No Tama had heard Sango's screams and Kikiyou's pain. "You're gonna die Kagome!" Kikiyou stated as she tore the arrow from her chest. Her eyes glowed. The jewel around her neck had become tainted as hatred flowed through her blood.
"Kikiyou has a heart?" Kagome whispered her question as she backed away. Slowly trying to get away, but fear over come her. Causing her legs quit moving. In the first time in years, she had lost her courage.
Sango winced in pain as she drawn her hand into a tight fist, Kikiyou had finally reached to Sango's aid. Her eyes scanned the wound and she ripped off a piece of her Kimono to tie it around the blood dripping hand of Sango.
Kikiyou had growled as she had once again turned her ragging focus on Kagome. "Kagome! This ends here and now! I've had enough of your jealousy. You just need to face the fucking fact that Sango doesn't love you. And she never will!" Kikiyou stood tall as Kagome backed up more. She was in shock at how much anger Kikiyou could let out. Sango watched as Kikyou had a strong, evil, devilish grin grow upon her face. Her head had tilted forward a bit as she was getting ready to kick the shit out of Kagome. She cracked her knuckles.
The Shikon no Tama had started to turn Kikiyou into a dark, killing machine. The Shikon No Tama started to glow brighter as it started glow her self. Her eyes filled with rage. Her hair fanned out as the tie fell loose. It was like Kikiyou was going through a whole new transformation. She quickly grew long claws as she held out her hands in front of her face.
Rushing forward like an android, she clawed Kagome as she tried to turn around and run away. Kikiyou's claws cut deep into Kagome's throat and started to tighten her grip on her air way.
"Let me go!" Kagome whimpered as she gasped for air. Tears flooded her face out of fear of death. She wanted to breathe, to live. But Kikiyou wouldn't give her that chance.
"I warned you." Kikiyou growled lowly into Kagome's soft, small ear.
Kikiyou gave a devilish grin and the sound of blood could be heard, dripping endlessly onto the grass. Kagome could see a quick glance, from the bottom of her eyes, in practically slow motion, that Kikiyou had plowed her hand deep into her stomach. Kikiyou slowly twisted her hand as she gripped tightly onto Kagome's organs.
Kagome couldn't understand how she couldn't feel the pain. But without warning a surge of pain ran up her spine and the jewel glowed more as Kikiyou's heart was pitch black. Kikiyou took her blood soaked hands off of Kagome and left her for dead. Kagome tried to yelp in pain but all she could do was cry as her body slowly had her soul faded away.
