Chapter 4- Fighting for What's Right

Ka... Kagome? Inuyasha's mind was still somewhat cloudy. He looked up. It was true, Kagome really was there. But I thought she had forgotten about me. She really came for me. Does this mean that she could… possibly love me?

Inuyasha was brought completely out of his trance, with a growl from Kikyo. “You wench! How dare you interfere with mine and Inuyasha's affairs? He has confessed his love for me, and has agreed to come with me to hell. He belongs to me. You are no longer wanted, so you might as well go home.” With a sweep of her hand towards Inuyasha, the half demon fell back into his trance.

Kagome's eyes widened at this insult. But they soon resolved to a steely glint. “Listen Kikyo, Inuyasha is a free man. Hebelongs to no one! He can make his own decisions, without any one else forcing him. You of all people should understand that. You once longed to be an ordinary woman, isn't that right? So why are you doing this?

Kikyo's eyes burned with anger and rage. She left Inuyasha against the tree, and picked up her long bow. She knocked an arrow, and pointed it at Kagome, whose arrow was still raised. “Why don't we make this interesting? Priestess against priestess. We shall see whose power is superior. The winner shall get the prize.” Her gaze shifted over to Inuyasha, who was still in a trance.

Now it was Kagome's turn to growl. “Inuyasha is not some kind of prize that you can just win! He is a person with feelings who... But Kagome was cut off, when an arrow whizzed passed her, missing her by inches and hitting the tree behind her. Kagome felt a few strands of her black hair fall off. “That was intentional. Next time I won't miss. So what will it be? Or will you just give up? You are fighting a losing battle anyway.” Kikyo had a sick, evil smile plastered on her face. It was a frightening look for the once kind hearted and peaceful priestess.

Kagome was at her wits end. What can I do? Inuyasha loves Kikyo. If I hurt her, he would never forgive me, and I could never forgive myself. Kagome glanced at Inuyasha. His eyes where closed, and he wore a peaceful expression on his face. “DON'T LOOK AT HIM!” Kikyo's eyes were blazing, she was breathing heavily, and there was sweat glistening on her forehead. Kagome's head snapped back to Kikyo's face. Her eyes narrowed. That's weird; I can feel some kind of other aura surrounding Kikyo. But its different somehow. Kagome searched deep within Kikyo's soul. Something was not right. Kagome felt another presence within Kikyo's soul. It feels evil, its almost like its, OH! Kagome gasped, and looked up at Kikyo in horror.

“So you have finally figured out, have you?” Kikyo's voice sounded triumphant. “Your not the real Kikyo, you're an imposter!”

The fake Kikyo smirked. “Very smart girl. I suppose you are not as stupid as you look.” Kagome flared up. She could feel her anger reaching her boiling point. She couldn't control it, and with a cry of rage she released all of her pent up feelings.

“I AM NOT STUPID!!” Kagome released her arrow. A blazing pink light surrounded her. All of her energy, her sorrow and anger in an immense wave of energy.

The energy hit Kikyo's body full force. She screamed in agony. Kagome's energy created a blinding light, and she had to shield her eyes. When the light faded Kagome gasped.

Kikyo's clothes fell away, and in her place stood a creature to frightening for words. It was a demon unlike any Kagome had ever seen before. It's skin was a deep midnight black. Red jagged stripes marked its cheeks. Razor sharp claws where at the end of each finger. The demons eyes were also the same color red as the stripes. Long ebony hair fanned out behind the demon. The clothing was one of the strangest things of all.

The clothing the demon adorned was a white, shiny material. It seemed that the material could fade right into thin air itself. Kagome spotted a sword in a sheath hanging at the demons side.

The demon chuckled, a raspy shrieking voice. “Let me introduce myself, I am Mistress Haruka. I have the power to possess demons and humans alike by diving into their souls and taking hold of all their negative feelings. That was how I was able to take control of Kikyo. And in turn, I was able to control Inuyasha from my vantage point.”

Kagome gasped in horror and anguish. Haruka laughed at her expression. “Yes, even your half demon friend has fallen under my spell.

“And now your time has come girl! Your death is near, and there is nothing your precious Inuyasha can do!”

Kagome paled. What could she do? Inuyasha was still under a trance, so he was no help at all. But I can't do this on my own. I need help! I need you Inuyasha! Kagome took a small step back as Haruka glided forward to kill her.
