InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Miko's Sorrow ❯ Protector ( Chapter 10 )

Disclaimer: Still don't own Inuyasha.

Sorry it is taking me soooo long to update. I think this will be the end of my story though.

Chapter 9: Protector:

That night, that same centipede attacked us.

Why was she after me?

What was this jewel?

I had to protect the villagers. Homes were being destroyed, all by the centipede.

Kaede told me we had to get to the dry well.

The well I came out of.

I followed the light that seemed to be coming from that direction.

Mistress Centipede followed.

The earth shifted under the centipede's weight. I was being knocked forth.

I wasn't ready to die yet.

I couldn't.

Screaming out for someone to help me, I headed straight for Inuyasha's forest.

Mistress Centipede flipped me over.

I went tumbling towards the Goshinboku.

That's when I heard it, a boy's voice.

One that sounded so ignorant, so cocky, yet so gentle at the same time.

I looked up, and came face to face with the boy pinned to the tree.

Wait, I thought he was dead!

He kept on calling me Kikyo.

The name, it sounded so familiar, yet I couldn't remember.

Come to think of it, the boy seemed familiar as well.

I stared straight at him.

Kikyo, Kikyo, Kikyo, that's all I heard from him.

Even I couldn't take it anymore!

I had to set him straight.

Getting close up to his face, my name isn't Kikyo, it's Kagome. Ka-Go-Me!

His eyes went from disappointment to anger in a matter of seconds.

Whoever this Kikyo was, she must have been special.

It seemed that he might have had a close relationship with this Kikyo.

I know it may seem quick at the time, but he seems so familiar. For the first time, I do believe I may have actually fallen in love.

I seem like I know this boy, but where have I seen him?

Mistress Centipede came forth again at me.

She kept crying for the jewel.

Coming forth, she grabbed a hold of me, and ripped at my side.

The pain, it didn't matter.

All I could notice was the gem that popped from my side.

Was this the Shikon no Tama grandfather was talking about?

Why was it with me?

Maybe, I am to be it's next protector.

AN: Well, this is the end of my story. I know, sucky ending right? Sorry it took so long to update. I was having some computer problems. Anyhow, I think I'll be working on Wish Upon a Star now. I have another story I plan on also writing, but I won't start it until I finish the others.
