Chapter Nine:
Inuyasha loved Kikyou or at least he thought he did, but it was getting harder and harder to stay with her and the way she has been acting since getting her life back. He can't ever do anything right and she hasn't come to grips with his demon blood. He lost Shippo because he believed in Kikyou's lies. Shippo was like a little brother to him, a demon who didn't care about his human blood. Something needed to be done about Kikyou because he couldn't handle her any longer. She was driving him mad and he had to do something about it.
"Inuyasha." Kikyou marched up to him with a frown on her face and her eyes flashing with anger. "I have been looking everywhere for you."
"What do you want, Kikyou?" Inuyasha was out in the garden enjoying what peace and quiet he could get way from Kikyou. He didn't feel like bothering with her right now.
"Get your things we're leaving now." Kikyou demanded coldly, she had enough of being around all of these demons. They disgusted her and made her nervous and Kikyou didn't like the feeling at all, it was bad enough that she loved a hanyou.
Inuyasha didn't turn around to face the angry miko, he wasn't surprised knowing Kikyou hated it here. "I'm not going anywhere, Kikyou."
"What!" Who did he think he was not doing as he was told. "Yes, you are."
Inuyasha whipped around keeping his hands at his side before he did something he would regret later on. He thought when Kikyou was given back her life that they would be happy. He was wrong. "Damn it Kikyou you are not my mother or my mate so stop trying to control me."
"I'm not trying to control you, Inuyasha." Kikyou said sweetly trying to fool the hanyou. Inuyasha was hers and nothing would change that. "I only want to do what's best for you."
Inuyasha's laugh was harsh, how stupid did she think he was? Yes, he had been a fool believing that she loved him, but he had opened his eyes and could see her for what she was now. "You can't throw me away, Inuyasha!" Kikyou's voice raise up she wasn't about to lose Inuyasha. She decided to use guilt, since guilt always worked on him. "I died because of you."
"You died because of Naraku!" Inuyasha wasn't going to be blamed for something he had no control over. He was sealed to the God tree for fifty years for something he didn't even do. No, Inuyasha wasn't going to take the blame anymore or carry the guilt. "Naraku killed you because of the jewel and I'm tired of talking the blame. Now leave me alone!" Inuyasha ran from the garden wanting to get way from Kikyou.
"Inuyasha, come back here!" Kikyou screamed she was passed angry now she was really pissed off. Inuyasha wasn't going to get away with what he did to her. He belonged to her until she didn't want him any longer. She suffered because of him and he needed to pay.
"It would seem you are no longer welcome here, miko." Sesshoumaru stepped out from the shadows. He saw and heard everything and was somewhat proud of his brother showing some backbone to this woman. .
Kikyou glared at Sesshoumaru, she wasn't scared. "I'm not leaving without Inuyasha."
"And Inuyasha doesn't want to be anywhere near you." Xander stepped out from behind the taller demon. "So be a good little girl and go on home before your mother worries."
Kikyou glared and left the garden. Sesshoumaru called over one of his guards that were always near by. "Follow her make sure she leaves my lands. Should she turn back, kill her." The guard nodded and did as his Lord ordered.
Xander was in his room when he heard knocking and went to open his door, he was surprised to see Inuyasha on the other side. "Inuyasha?"
"Can I talk to you?" Inuyasha asked not looking Xander in the eyes. "Just for a little while."
"Sure come in." Xander stepped back so Xander could walk in then closed the door behind him. "What is it, Inuyasha?"
This wasn't easy, but Inuyasha had to do it. "I'm sorry for the way I treated you and for the way Kikyou has acted."
"No problem I'll forgive you." Xander smiled. "You shouldn't say sorry for Kikyou."
"I feel like I have to." Inuyasha sat on the edge on Xander's bed and placed his face in his claws. "I still love her, but she isn't the woman I knew so long ago."
"I'm sorry." Xander sat next to Inuyasha; he knew a lot about pain and could understand what Inuyasha was going through.
Inuyasha gave a harsh laugh. "There's nothing to be sorry about, it wasn't you that killed Kikyou or sealed me to a tree for fifty years. Naraku may be dead, but she hasn't let the past go and I know she still blames me for her death."
Xander didn't know what to say to Inuyasha. He was in pain and there wasn't anything Xander could do to make it stop. He could only hope Kouga would be able to pull Inuyasha from his sadness. "Then why are you with her?"
"I'm not, at least not anymore." Inuyasha told Xander what happened between him and Kikyou before he came here. "I'm sure she's on her way out of the Western Lands by now." He stood up and gave Xander a small smile. "I better go and get some sleep; I want to forget what happened to day."
Xander nodded his head, he understood. The hanyou would need his sleep for when Kouga arrived tomorrow. "Good night." Inuyasha nodded and said good night before leaving the room and Xander to think about what just happened.
