AS A REVIEWER GUESSED: YES, I’VE BEEN MURDERED -_-U sorry... for the long wait but... well, I’m kinda moving... to SPAIN!   Wow, thank you so much for your reviews, without them this story would have ended up forgotten in a corner of my hard drive =D Your beautiful reviews are a daily reminder that I HAVE TO FINISH!       All Hallow’s Evening Chapter 11: Kill Me   Kagome felt the same tingle in her stomach she had felt 3 days ago when she first made a powerball. But this time it wasn’t because of the power inside her, she looked down at the almost peaceful face of the man that was resting on her lap. His black hair was wild, tangling her in a black net. She could feel it against her bare legs, it was like silk.   She looked at his face again, trying to understand the bags under his eyes, was he even sleeping at all? Something told her this was the first time he had slept peacefully in a while.   She reluctantly rested her hand against his cheek and the warmness of his skin reminded her that just a few seconds ago she had thought about killing him. She couldn’t do it. Not while he was human.   She felt her heart break in a million fragments, if she wasn’t able to kill his kidnapper, how was she supposed to escape? She caressed his cheek and he inched towards her hand.   “If she had told me she wanted to be free I would have let her...” his words resounded in her ears. Had he really loved her? loved someone? She had a hard time believing that. She took his head between her arms and lifted him, resting his head on her folded cloak. She didn’t look back at him, and exited the room quietly trying not to think of the warm feeling his skin had left in her hand.   *^*^*^*^*   When she woke up that morning she had an strange feeling, like someone was watching her. She opened one eye and quickly the other, the only thing that prevented her from screaming was the fact that a hand was pressing against her throat.   She quickly grabbed the hand that was torturing her and looked at her attacker. Inuyasha looked down at her with killer eyes. It took her a few more seconds to realize she had no trouble breathing, his hand was barely choking her.   “Who the hell told you where to find me?!” he shouted at her, Kagome couldn’t help but to answer.   “The miko... Kaede” she gasped.   “Damn that old hag!”  Kagome’s hand grasped harder around Inuyasha’s hand, trying to force him to release her but he didn’t even acknowledge the effort.   “Let me go!” she demanded but he didn’t listen.   “Last night I could feel the power in you, I know what you were thinking!” Kagome gulped, his eyes were so golden it hurt to look at them. “You intended to kill me!” He choked her harder and Kagome winced.  “You fucking bitch...” Her eyes started to water and she could no longer breath, she could feel the blood pounding into her temple. But suddenly Inuyasha stopped and slowly released her.   Kagome could only hear his angry steps across the room for she had tightly closed her eyes, then she felt him come back to the bed.   “Why?!” he demanded, punching the bed right next to the girl. “Why didn’t you kill me?! It would had been so easy!!” Kagome opened her eyes and fixed them on his again, but said nothing. “WHY?!!” he demanded and placed his hand yet again around the girl’s throat.   “Probably the same reason...” she said slowly in a calm voice “why you are incapable of strangling me hard enough.”   “I could kill you!” he hissed into her face.   “But you won’t...” she added.   He looked defeated and once again released her to sit heavily on the bed. “If I kill you then my brother would know I failed...” he said softly.   “Failed in what?”  she panted, grabbing her now soar throat.   “Failed to tame you...” he had his back to her and even then Kagome could tell that was just an excuse. He couldn’t kill her because he didn’t want to kill her.   “Suits me right.” she said and Inuyasha chuckled.   “Sesshomaru won’t be this good to you.” Inuyasha said in an almost friendly tone.   “That’s why I plan to stay here.” she declared, sitting up on the bed. He snorted, shook his head and left, leaving a confused Kagome behind.   *^*^*^*^   Inuyasha left Kagome’s room feeling strange. Why was is that he couldn’t bare to kill her when one night just 50 years earlier he could have killed the woman he loved without giving it much thought?   He remembered the night before clearly, he remembered the warm touch of her hands and he remembered the feeling inside him when he had confused her for Kikyo, it wasn’t love... maybe it never was? He shook his head again, trying to command those thoughts out of his brain.   The stupid girl had said she planned to stay... did it mean she wanted to stay with HIM? Inuyasha snorted again, she clearly didn’t know what she was getting into. The hanyou arrived to his own bed and started undressing, he had a lot of things to do... he didn’t have time for thinking and worrying about a woman...!   The miko had been under his care for half a month now and nothing had happened, most women that had stayed with him had given up quicker, maybe he hadn’t tried hard enough. She was not so different from the other girls, except... she hardly ever cried, she didn’t beg, she didn’t try to humor him, she wasn’t empty... She wasn’t Kikyo.   Inuyasha threw his dirty clothes to a corner and started to leave his room, headed for work, but his thoughts were still on the woman that lived next to him and was currently thinking about him too.   *^*^*^*^   The miko looked at the wall lost in her thoughts, her throat didn’t hurt anymore but she wondered why it didn’t cause her any fear at all to have a demon’s hand grasped against her throat. Maybe seeing him like that... weak, human... it had changed the way she looked at him.   What she had really wanted to do last night was to ask him about Kikyo and yet... she couldn’t, why had he said Kikyo was the reason for him being so weak? Why had he confessed he had loved her? And the most important thing of all... he had said that if Kikyo would have asked him to let her go... he would have... So, were Sango’s advices right? If Inuyasha fell for her she could be free?   Thinking about playing with his feelings like that made her sick to her stomach.   There were so much more questions in her head about the dead Kikyo... and she had to ask him... the next New Moon.   *^*^*^*^*^   Sango entered the miko’s room without knocking when Kagome was in the middle of getting ready for her training. “hey, Kagome! Not ready yet?!” The woman asked happily.   “Just one more minute...” The miko said.   “Ok...” Sango sat on the girl’s bed to wait. “So... any news? How are thing going with Inuyasha?”   “Hmmm...” Kagome deliberated, not sure what to share with Sango, finally she decided to tell her what bothered her the most. “I think I know who Kikyo is.”   Sango stood up immediately, her face astonished. “What? who? tell me!”   The girl looked away and blushed, a little embarrassed of gossiping, she didn’t feel it was right to talk about something that was so personal for Inuyasha. “He told me last night that he loved her.” Sango gasped.   “But she was human... a miko! She was Kaede’s sister, right?!” The older girl asked, Kagome nodded.   “Yes, but it’s not all... Inuyasha told me that he loved her so much that if she had asked him to free her, he would have.” Sango’s eyes widened and a huge smile appeared on her face.   “I was right, then... I was right all this time. You have a chance.” Sango whispered.   Kagome didn’t registered her words, she was remembering last night, remembering every word. “He said... I looked like her.” Sango’s eyes focused on hers, shocked. “Maybe that’s why he picked ME. Maybe that’s why he kidnapped me and not someone else... because of her.”   “No...” Sango said, urging the girl not to lose it. “this is good... if you look like her and he loved her... it will make things easier for you...” Kagome shook her head but Sango didn’t pay attention. “You can use his feelings for her-“   “No!” Kagome interrupted.   “Kagome, you have to! If you want to be free, you have to use everything you have!” The older girl hissed. “You have to use Kikyo’s memory...”   “But...” Kagome added. “We don’t know the whole story... He said ‘if she would have told me’, that means she didn’t ask to be free, it means something happened... but what?”   Sango’s smile faded instantly. “I don’t know...”    *^*^*^*^*   The training was a little awkward for Kagome, she was feeling a little down, taking all the things that now occupied her mind and she could feel something was bothering Miroku too.   After the third time Miroku zoned out and completely ignored Kagome in the middle of the training she snapped.   “Miroku!!! Hey... could you please pay attention, it’s kinda dangerous to have a powerball in my hand without supervision!” she said, regretting a little her harsh tone.   “Oh.. yes, I’m sorry, Kagome.” The girl looked at him with a worried face.   “What is wrong, Miroku?” she asked.   “Oh... nothing.” He said inconvincibly.   “You are not usually like this... what is bothering you?” The miko pressed. She saw the priest sigh and step back.   “I have to make an announcement.” He yelled for all the miko in the courtyard to hear. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at their coach. “Prince Sesshomaru just gave me important orders, we’ll be marching to battle in 3 months.” Sounds of protest could be heard everywhere and Kagome just stood and tried to take in the news. “I’m sorry... I know it’s not time enough but he wanted as to be prepared in a month and it had to do everything in my power to change his mind... there is nothing else I could do... We have to be ready in 3 months.”   Miroku walked away from where he had been standing and approached Kagome. “Miroku... I have to go too?” the miko asked.   “Yes... I’m so sorry. Usually the new ones have at least half a year to train but you have much power... and they want you there as soon as possible.” The priest tried to offer some comfort to the girl placing a hand on her shoulder.   “But I can barely make a powerball... how am I going to fight?” She asked, feeling desperate.   “I’ll train you day and night until you are the best... I won’t forgive myself if anything happens to you in battle.” The miko nodded, feeling a little reassured, but then another thought came to her.   “Sesshomaru... will he be in the front when we get there?” She asked, feeling a cold sweat travel down her spine.   “Yes, he will be leading you to battle.” Miroku answered, confused about the girl’s concern.   “Oh... crap.” She murmured. What had he said he would do... if he found he was still a virgin the next time he saw her?... His exact words had been “If I smell she is still pure I’ll take her for myself.”  Oh, crap.. She didn’t want to be taken by Sesshomaru when she was just beginning to understand Inuyasha... How, oh how was she going to get rid of her annoying virginity?   ***********************   Oh... my... that took too long, didn’t it? I’m sorry... But have been having problem with the plot because I have to cover a WHOLE YEAR of their life... and... well, I’m not advancing fast at all!
