Chapter 3 Inu-Yasha was sitting by the well when he smelled a very familiar scent. “Kikyo,” he growled. He followed her scent into the woods where he found her sitting in a tree. “Inu-Yasha…” she hissed our, “why are you trying so hard to get Kagome when I am the one you want?” “I-I-I don’t know what you’re talking about” he stammered out. “You know that you and I are destined to be together forever. Come with me Inu-Yasha, so we may rest in peace in hell together for all eternity, away from Naraku, away from his hoard of demons, and away from that wench Kagome!” She almost had him convinced until she mentioned Kagome. “Kagome is NOT a wench, and I will not leave with you because I love her and will never leave her side!” At that last statement, he teetered backwards. ‘I love Kagome?’ he thought. ‘Yes, I love Kagome with all my heart.’ With that thought established, he smiled a little. “Are you saying you love her more than me Inu-Yasha?” Kikyo asked horrified. “Yes, I do love her more at this moment than I love you. I’m sorry, but I won’t be seeing you again.” With this last statement he hugged Kikyo as a friendly good-bye. Ch.4 Chapter 4 “Damn it!” Kagome cursed. She had been asleep for eight hours now. She wanted to be back at ten, not just getting up then. After she got all of her things together in her backpack she ran outside to the well. It was a full moon, which meant tomorrow would be a new moon. ‘Inu-Yasha’s time of the month’ she giggled to herself. “He’ll probably be really grumpy when I get back” she sighed as she jumped into the well. As soon as she came out she knew something was very wrong. As she looked towards the woods she saw blue eel like youkai which she knew all too well. “Those are Kikyo’s soul stealers…” she whispered. “Inu-Yasha!” she cried out as she ran towards the woods. As Kagome got closer to the clearing she felt more and more worried about the young hanyou. Right as she got to where they were, she saw Inu-Yasha embracing Kikyo…again. “W-W-Why?” she managed to stammer out. Inu-Yasha spun around to see the young miko staring in shock as the tears started to well up in her eyes. When he turned to Kikyo for help to explain, she was gone. “Inu-Yasha?! This is the second time! How-how-how could you? And after all of that fuss over Kouga too. I-I-I hate you!” Kagome ran deeper into the woods blinded by her tears. Inu-Yasha was left standing in the clearing with a look of utter shock on his face. “She hates me?” He thought aloud. As his head fell to his chest two tears slid down his face to the dirt below him, completely lost in his thoughts until a scream and scent broke through his thoughts. Not only could he hear Kagome scream, but he also could smell her blood. “Kagome!” Back to fics
