InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Another Girl Has Crossed Time ❯ Chapter Eight ( Chapter 9 )

`Oh, Kyo, why didn't I see it before? The reason I felt so warm in you arms is because I love you. Why didn't I see it before? I don't love Riku. I never felt warm or safe in Riku's arms,' thought Kiki. She stood in front of Kagome and InuYasha. Kyo was behind her, clutching his stomach.

 

`Come to me my pet,' said a very familiar voice inside Kiki's head. Her body walked to the window and jumped out. Her legs ran her down the street. The three followed her.

Kiki stopped at her favorite hide-away. `What am I doing here? I thought I was going to that voice…'

 

“You did come to that voice,” Kiki turned around. If her eyes could willingly grow wide, they would have. “Did you really think I was all good? The prefect boyfriend?” Riku transformed into a very handsome, but dangerous, fox demon. He now had a redish-brown colored hair, gold eyes, fox ears and tail that were the same color as his hair. He grew fans and claws. He also stood a few inches taller. “Riku Tashi never existed.” He smirked. “Well, maybe to you. Now, you will kill Kyo. Leave the other two for me.” He heard a rustle from outside the circle of trees. “Ah, they're here. Why don't you go pay them one last visit?”

 

He body stepped out of the circle of tree. “Kyo!” Her voice didn't sound like her own at all. It sounded far and distant. It was deep and machine-like a little. `No!' Kiki threw her hand back and slashed toward Kyo, daggers soaring right to him. He barely dodged them. One had grazed his cheek, cutting it open slightly.

 

`What do I do!' desperately thought Kyo. He ran. That was all he really could do. Four more daggers flew at him. One went into his calf. He pulled it out as he ran.

 

 

“Inu-Ya-sha,” muttered Riku, coming out of the trees. He casually leaned against a trunk of one.

 

“Whoever the hell you are, you are going down!” yelled InuYasha. He unsheathed Tetsusaiga and held it in front of him. The night blew a breeze that ruffled everyone hair and clothes.

 

“You don't remember me?” asked Riku, mock offended. “But surely you remember my brother? Ryuten?” He looked at InuYasha, hatred burning in his eyes. “I mean, you did kill him after all. Ten years ago.”

 

“That demon was your brother? He was weak,” growled InuYasha. “He tired to kill my family! Of course I'd kill him. Why did you have to bring Kiki into this?” If looks could kill, then Riku would have been dead 100 times over.

 

“Why? Oh, I don't know. She was just a pawn to lure you to me,” laughed Riku. “And I must say, it worked.”

 

“Bastard!” yelled InuYasha. He charged at Riku and swung his sword, but missed. Riku jumped out of the way. A sword appeared in his hands. Riku charged at Kagome, who was defenseless.

 

“Wind Scar!” Riku was thrown back, getting cut along the way, but managed at survive.

 

“I will take away all your family, just like you did to me!” roared Riku. He charged at InuYasha again.

 

 

“Kyo!” roared Kiki in her new voice. “I will kill you!” Kiki chased after Kyo, throwing daggers at him as she did so.

 

“Kiki! You got to snap out of it!” yelled Kyo over his shoulder, jumping as she threw more daggers. “Riku's just using you and you know it!” Kyo ran, running through backyards, a school, and parks. He started to get a little weak from blood loss.

 

“Lair!” roared Kiki. “Stop running Kyo! I need to kill you!” they ran into a thick forest. Kiki slowed to a walk. He eyes scanned the forest slowly, looking for Kyo or his blood. “Kyo…were are you?” She whispered.

 

Kyo hid in a tree, looking down at her. How was he supposed to snap her out of it? What was he to do? He couldn't possibly fight back. He'd really hurt her. at this moment, all her could do was hide and run until she broke the spell.

 

“Gotcha,” muttered Kiki. A drop of blood dripped onto the forest floor some feet away. It shimmered almost gold in the moonlight. She threw three daggers where Kyo was hiding. Two made contact; one in his arm and one in his calf.

 

He let of a cry of pain and slid out of the tree. He landed on a heap on the ground. Kyo sat up and looked at Kiki. She was on her hands and knees, panting. “Kiki…”

 

“Kyo…you need…to get…away…please…” said Kiki in her normal voice, but she had to force the words out so they sounded strained. A sword appeared in her hands. “Please.”

Kyo looked at her, directly in her eyes. “Not without you.” He watched as her eyes grew wide.

 

“I'm not going anywhere until you're by my side safe and to your old self again.” He looked down then back up at her. “I'm not leaving you because I love you Kiki. That is why I came back here.” He watched as tears swelled in her eyes. Then, they became cloudy again.

 

The sword unwillingly left her hands as she threw it. It pierced Kyo in the chest. “KYO!” she creamed in her own voice, the spell on her broke. The sword disappeared as she ran up to him and fell to her knees. “Kyo! I am so sorry, but you can't die! You can't die Kyo!” She sat cross-legged and gathered Kyo in her arms, making him half on her lap. “Kyo, please, don't leave me. Kyo…Kyo…I love you Kyo!” She cried harder.

 

 

Riku suddenly laughed. “It seems Kiki has done what I wanted her to do!” He laughed harder.

“She killed Kyo! Now all I have to do is kill that wench Kagome and you'll beg me to kill you!” Kagome fell to her knees, crying. InuYasha shook with anger. He lowered his head, still shaking.

 

“You…bastard…” muttered InuYasha. He looked back at Riku, anger filled his golden eyes. He charged at Riku. Their swords clanged and clashed in the night. Riku push InuYasha off and pushed his sword into InuYasha's stomach.

 

“I will make you so weak, to the point where you can't stand! Then…I will kill your wench right in front of you!” growled Riku. “How does that sound InuYasha!” he charged again, striking InuYasha's leg as InuYasha tired to jump. Red darker than InuYasha's kimono stained the grass and their clothes.

 

“Backlash Wave!” yelled InuYasha, swinging his sword at Riku. Whirlwinds flew toward Riku, dissolving him as they made contact. InuYasha fell to his knees. Kagome crawled over to him.

 

“Kagome. We need to find Kyo and Kiki. I don't think Kyo's one to get himself killed so easily. I don't think he's dead.”

 

“But you're hurt! I don't think he's dead either,” muttered Kagome. She moved InuYasha onto her lap and stroked his silver almost white hair. “Let's bandage you up.” She ripped a part of her kimono into long strips of cloth. “Then we'll go look for them.” She helped him out of his shirt and started to bandage his wounds.

 

 

“Kyo…Kyo…Kyo…” cried Kiki. She was covered in his blood, but she didn't care. She didn't notice either. She slowly rocked back and forth. Her arms were around his neck. She unconsciously hugged him against her chest. Her brown hair fluttered in the night breeze. Owls hooted and crickets played their music all around her. She lowered her lips to his, kissing him gently, even if it was just once. His hand touched her cheek. She opened her eyes. “Kyo?”

 

“Ki…ki…” Kiki's eyes widen. “Don't worry. I don't die that fast…” Kyo whispered. He paused for a moment. “I love you too Kiki.” Kiki smiled. “You smell nice…like mints.” Kyo closed his eyes. “I like it.” His arms slowly wrapped around her back.

 

“We should find your parents,” whispered Kiki. “I bet they are very worried about us.”

Kyo shook his head, his eyes still closed. “They'll come for us. My dad will be able to smell my blood. Besides, we didn't run that far.” He opened his eyes and looked up at her. “I don't think I can move. You have very good aim…maybe not…then I'd be dead.” He smiled.

 

“That God I don't have very god aim then,” smiled Kiki. Kyo nodded and closed his eyes again. Kiki just held him in her arms and stroked his hair.

 

“Kyo? Kiki?” called Kagome's voice. Kiki looked away from Kyo to look up. There was a rustle of leaves and bushes from her left and InuYasha and Kagome came into view. “Is he alright?”

 

Kiki nodded. “He's fine. He just needs to be bandaged up. He might need stitches though. I would have bandaged him up but…” She looked down at herself. She currently was wearing short shorts and a tank top. Both of which were made of silk.

 

“Oh, he won't need stitches. Anyone with demon blood in them heals in about a day or so,” said InuYasha. “But, he does need to stop the bleeding or he will lose a lot of blood.”

 

“He already has…that's why he's unconscious I think. I know I hit him a couple times…the daggers went right in him,” sadly said Kiki. She looked down and away from them. Tears started to fall.

 

“Oh, it's ok dear,” said Kagome. “You had no control over you body. I've done practically the same thing to InuYasha a long time ago.” Kagome took off Kyo's shirt so she and bandage up his stomach and chest and his arms. “How far up his legs did you get him?”

 

“Calf I think. My body wanted his heart, so I only got once in both calves I believe,” answered Kiki. Kagome nodded. She rolled up his pants and bandaged his calves. “I want to stay with you guys in the Feudal Era.” InuYasha and Kagome looked at her.

 

“What about your parents?” asked Kagome. She finished bandaging Kyo and sat back.

 

“I'll tell them everything…” said Kiki. “I'll come back to see them…everyday since I have school…but I want to go back with you…if that's alright.” Kagome smiled and nodded. InuYasha just shrugged.

 

“If your parents say it's ok, you can,” said InuYasha. He picked up his son. “Can you stand?” Kiki nodded and got off the ground. “Let's go back to your house.”

 

Kiki's house was in uproar. Kiki walked in, followed by the others and everyone was shocked to find her covered in blood. “It's a very long story that I need to tell you all.” So she told them everything. Feudal Era. Demons. Riku. Her being possessed. And-

 

“I want to live in the Feudal Era,” said Kiki. She held up a hand before anyone could protest. “I know. What about school? I'll come back everyday and attend, and how about this: I have to do my homework before I go back deal?” Kiki looked at her mom and dad. “It'd be like me going to day camp…except it's be late afternoon when I leave and early morning when I come back.”

 

“I don't know,” said hr mother and her father at the same time. They exchanged glances. “Didn't you say there were demons in the Feudal Era?” asked her mother.

 

“But, I'd be protected by the strongest ones,” pleaded Kiki. “Please? Mom, Dad, I'll be back everyday. Please?” She gave them the puppy dogface.

 

“Alright, but you have to do your homework and talk to us before you leave everyday,” said her father.

 

“Thank you! Thank you!” smiled Kiki. She hugged her parents and ran upstairs to get her clothes and all her things.

 

“You will take care of her right?” Kiki's father asked Kagome and InuYasha.

 

“Like she was our own,” replied Kagome with a bow and a smile.

 

 

The next day, the two families went to Kagome's family's shrine. InuYasha, Kagome, and Kyo went down the well first. Kiki kissed and hugged her family goodbye. “Don't worry about me you guys! I'll be fine! I'll be back on Monday!” She jumped into the well and into a new part of her life.
