Kagome's Heart
Inuyasha's POV
Shit .
Fire was scattered around me . Controlled by the man you would call a human . He spiked more liquid into his mouth, gurgling it at first .
I ducked down .
The flames shot out of his mouth burning .
"What's a matter Inuyasha?," he taunted me .
Once again another huge whip of thunder slashed my shoulder . Dam it . More blood pulsed out of me .
My feet were still stuck in this thick sludge . The suction on the sludge tightened .
I smelt a demon .
"Where's the demon hiding!?," I yelled .
Renkotsu laughed . "It took you long enough , demon," he snarled .
My head bobbled , I groaned . I felt so dizzy , and queasy. My feet stung badly . I felt them bleed .
"What da hell is this!," I yelled . Renkotsu was drinking some more , he chuckled.
"Reni, reveal your self," he called .
A snake flew up in the sky , my feet tightened even more . The snake dangled it's head over mine . It slowly opened it's mouth . Releasing some gas .
"This is my invention , an steel snake . Mukotsu helped a little with the gas," he stated . "No die , mutt"
I covered my mouth with one hand and swung my Tetsusaiga , creating blades of adamant . The adamant blades shattered into pieces as they crashed into the steel snake .
Renkotsu laughed again . "Nothing can penetrate this demons shield" He boasted .
The gas was moving even closer to me .
I could lift my left foot : there's little teeth in a pit , where the sludge is moving . They look like snake teeth . Some kind of purple liquid is pulsing out of them .
No wait it's poison .
"Renkotsu," I snarled . The wind scar didn't do anything to the gas .
"Little metal snake teeth," he said . "And once again thanks to Mukotsu : liquidising the gas into a poison"
It all made sense .
"I'm not going to give up , now!," I yelled . I have came to far too be killed by a single mercenary .
"This gas is taking to long," he said .
With a flash of lightening I was on the floor . Knocked out , inhaling the gas .
The last thing I saw was Renkotsu with bolts of lightening pointing towards me.
Kouga's POV
I was healed when I woke up , laying on the hard core ground .
The black smog disappeared .
Alley standing over me , tears in her eyes . Ginta and Hakkaku were comforting her .
"Alley , don't worry," Ginta said hugging her .
"Yeah , you know Kouga , his probably just sleeping" Hakkaku added .
I groaned and growled too let them now they could stop touching her . They obeyed , jumping on Kilala .
I hugged her . "I'm fine," I whispered in her ear , picking her up .
She shook her head . It was so cute , she reminded me so much of Kagome when she got into a fuss and disagreed .
"Your still not fully healed," she argued, shaking her head . I wanted to laugh and at the same time kiss her . But I held it in .
"Let me heal you," that was a demand . I laid down and in a second I was healed . That's when I remember she needed healing . I stopped her from healing my back .
"Are you feeling okay?," I ask . "Does it hurt any where?"
She only giggled , the tears literally faded away from her face .
I looked at her clothes . There were blood stains . But no fresh blood , I noticed that Ginta's scent was all over her . I growled . She picked my anger up and hugged me .
"No ," she said quietly . "Ginta healed me , that's all"
I smiled . "Where's Inuyasha?," I asked lifting her up .
I caught his scent .
"Right here!," he exclaimed .
I turned around . "I see your not dead , that's good," I said .
He laughed . "Yeah , but I'm badly damaged," he laughed .
I could see all the deep blood marks come off his red Kimono , and smell it . Cuts and bruises were decorated all over his face . He could barely move , shaking . The worse of all I smelt poison spur off of him .
"How did you get out of that?," I asked . Alley jumped out of my arms and ran to him .
"Mister Inuyasha!," she yelled .
That felt familiar : the girl running towards inuyasha , leaving me . Then it dawned on me . How much I miss Kagome .
Alley healed him quickly .
"Why is it always you," she asked "Mister?"
He shook his shoulders .
She sighed . "Mister Inuyasha you should really be more careful , none of us got hurt like you," she said . But that was a lie . I remember her looking , being twice as bad as him when Jakotsu's blades struck her . I shivered . But then more images of Kagome flashed into my head : when she was hurt . When we were alone and she hugged me , telling me she cared for me . Then when she kissed me on the cheek , in front of Inuyasha , when I saved her from Renkotsu (writers note this is in my previous stories that never really happened in Inuyasha , the programme)
I felt like crying . I wanted the images and memories to stop . They were too painful . I loved her . I love her .
Kagome POV .
THE BUG lead us to some huge town . It showed us exactly where the demon was hiding The forest : millions of trees and bushes separated us from the very demon and his allies . Bankotsu nudged me , saying we should talk to each other telepathically , I nodded .
- what's the plan , miko ?
- that's easy ,mercenary , I'll kill the -
I cut my self off ,that's right Bankotsu had the Banryu , which means he could kill all the demons with one single slash then he would get more powerful and do the job quickly that equals , for me , I could go to Naraku and learn the 'Coldness' the create my own shard . I smiled . I wasn't in the full mood for killing demons anyway .
- I'll distract the demons , I'll identify which ones have the shards . Then when I tell you to kill them all , after I get their shards .
- seems like a good plan
I walked through the bushes .
- don't get killed , miko
- you wish
I was going to regret doing this . I hitched up my kimono so it show my full thigh , I walked deeper into the shrubs, following the presence of the jewel shards , until I was facing one demon .
"Human," it snarled .
I gasped , like I didn't already feel it presence.
It grabbed me by the hand and dragged me into some ugly cave . I was thrown on the ground . I started fake trembling .
"This is the intruder," the demon said .
I looked up , there were demons in every corner , Panther demons . Six of them had shards in their heads , with the same mark as the other panther demon I killed .The other demons only had weapons there were like three hundred in one big cave .
But the leader stood on a big rock , with a big shard in his chest .
The leader smirked .
"Our entertainment," he whispered . The other demons laughed . "You all are excused," said the leader . "I maybe the first to toy with our guest"
The demons slowly one by one left the cave , the quickly shut the entrance with a boulder , sealing me in . or so they thought . He tried to take my mask of but I shook my head to fast for him too touch .
- Bankotsu , do you see the demons ?
- Yeah , which ones should I kill ?
- All the ones with purple marks on their heads , they have the shards .
- Alright .
The Panther demon jumped up and grabbed my chin . I didn't have to act like a typical weak girl now .
"You and me," he said , grabbing my thigh . I shook my head, still acting like a typical weak girl .
"No," I pulled away ,weakly but he drew me back , straight towards his face . Excellent .
His hand moved even higher . I cringed my face , he laughed .
Now . I allowed my miko powers to explode on him sending him flying up . I was just about to collect his when the shard was in midair floating . Wow . I grabbed , a light released . Next thing I know I'm next to Bankotsu , outside .
"How did you get here?," he asked , creating and thunder wave . Me and him were standing on a tree branch , high in the tree . The Panther demons were summoning a dark sphere with all their power .
I shrugged . "I'll collect the shards , you kill the rest," I said .
"Don't get killed" he said .
I put my hand out , summoning my miko power again . I my head I saw the jewel shards glow , answering my call . "Come to me," I said .
They flew out of the demons body , causing them to drop instantly to death . The jewel floated in midair spinning . I opened my eyes . The jewels retreated into my hand .
"Bankotsu , you could take care of the rest," I said . I sat down on the branch , watching him kill each and every demon . When he was done I stood up , our job was done . And the poisonous insect came just in time .
Bankotsu looked at me , smiling . "That's a good look for you , Kagome," he smiled "Though I prefer it without the mask"
I shrugged . He smiled. "Until we're forced to work again," I said .
"Yeah , until"
He followed the insect to his brothers and his new mission . I knew he had killed an extra demon with shards and collect them , but I didn't care .
My insect came for me , I followed it .
Inuyasha's POV
We had no choice but to continue going South . Kouga carried Alley , but he didn't seem too happy to . Alley noticed that too . Always looking up at him while he was running . Kouga seemed distant , more sad .
We pasted were got the swamp and we all smelt , I usually didn't stop for trivial things like that but we smelt real bad .
Kouga agreed with me to stop , just in case Naraku's insects pick us up and we had to face a swarm .
He stayed near village and went to the back of the embankment were the river was flowing . There was a huge wall in front of it . We both picked up blood and up seizing the moment . There were men there , some lying on the floor waiting for death to strike them groaning .
"What's wrong with you?," I asked a man who was hugging his hand .
"A priestess," he cried . "She , she done this to me !"
Blood was dripping off his hand .
A priestess : no way would Kikyuo do this . But Kira would . Once again there was no scent around of Kira's or Kagome's .
Kouga tapped me on the shoulder , "Come on , we have to go"
I nodded .
Me and Kouga laid in the river allowing the stench of the swamp fade away in our clothes and body .
While Alley was on the other side healing those men . She grabbed a bucket and scooping up water and slashed it over her head .
Her white kimono turned blue , her eyes glew for a split second .
"Kouga," she called . He rushed over to him . She told him that Naraku's child has been with Bankotsu .
(writers note : Alley was working for Naraku and she did worked with Bankotsu so she recognises his voice)+ (Kagome is still deepening her voice (Kagome doesn't know yet that Alley can hear her) - so Alley doesn't recognise Kira's/ Kagome's voice cause it's deeper )
Naraku's child is returning to Naraku with jewel shards .
Now we had to get a move on . I sprung up . "Kilala!," I called .
She came with Ginta and Hakkaku . Kouga put Alley on Kilala .
"Inuyasha lets go"
