InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Being a child again ❯ chapter 6 ( Chapter 6 )

(With Inuyasha and the Others)

 

“Damnit, how long is the monk going to take?” Inuyasha hissed, keeping his voice as low as he could. “We could have been over there by…”

 

“Shh!” Sango said. “Listen!”

 

Everyone went still and listened. There was the noise of splashing water, but there was also the sound of moving grass. They got ready, just in case it wasn't Miroku coming back to them, but a demon. But it was Miroku that emerged, pale but excited.

 

“What?” Sango said. “What's the matter?' Suddenly her eyes went dark. “Suddenly I think I don't want to know, pervert.” She turned away slightly, ready to go back.

 

“No.” He said, his voice shaking slightly. It made her stop. “It…it wasn't that. It was…well, she was, I mean, they were…”

 

“Spit it out!” Inuyasha said. “What?”

 

“Kagome…” Miroku breathed. “It was Kagome…and Kagura and Kanna. But Naraku wasn't there.”

 

Everyone went silent and still. But it was only for a moment.

 

A cry of “Help! Kagura! Kanna! Something's got me!” Split the air and they were on the move through the grass.

 

Inuyasha got to the other side first, in time to see Kagome's head go under. Without thinking he jumped in, right where he had seen her go under.

 

(With Kagura and Kanna)

 

“Damnit!” Kagura cried. “I knew we should have moved sooner!”

 

“Kagura, get ready.” Kanna said, moving to get out of the water. “We're going to have to fight.”

 

“Damnit.” Kagura said as she to moved to the bank. “Fine, that Inuyasha get her, we'll kill him later.”

 

“Get ready.” Kanna said again, picking up her mirror.

 

A moment later Miroku and the others ripped through the grass, only to halt at the bank and glare across it.

 

“So nice to see you again.” Kagura said. “We were…” but she was cut short by a huge burst of bubbles breaking the surface of the water.

 

(With Inuyasha)

 

`Damn.' Inuyasha thought. `Where is she?'

 

He looked around franticly, hoping to catch a glimpse or her or maybe the demon that had her. But still there was nothing. Back and forth he moved, his head and eyes in constant motion, but still nothing. He was just starting to run out of air when something shiny caught his eye. It was at least ten feet below him and moving fast.

 

It took a moment for him to realize that it was Kagome holding a sword which was trailing purple blood through the water. It took another precious moment to realize that she was heading straight for him, a deadly look in her eyes. Not knowing why he did it, he turned and swam as fast as he could to the surface, one though on his mind: `why was she looking as though she wanted to kill him?'

 

But Kagome had had a head start and caught up with him. Only feet from the surface, she stabbed at him. The point grazed his cheek, which started to bleed, turning the water around them red and foggy. But it was no time to think about that, all Inuyasha wanted was air and to get away from Kagome.

 

Kicked as hard as he could, Inuyasha splashed up to the surface, among many bubbles, and then kicked over to the shore. Or, at least tried to. Something had his leg, and when he turned he saw that it was Kagome. She had grabbed onto him and it didn't look like she was going to let go.

 

“Stop.” Inuyasha said, a pleading look in his eyes, as though he couldn't believe what she was about to do. For, instead of pulling him back she had raised her sword again, as though ready to cut his leg off.

 

“Kagome…” Inuyasha said. “Don't…Kagome…” He wanted to say more, knew he had to, but couldn't. So he waited for the blow to fall and the pain that it would bring. Not just for his lost leg, but for the look on Kagome's face.

 

But…nothing happened. Inuyasha looked up into her face to see an indecisive look there.

 

(With Kagome)

 

`What...what am I doing?' She though, her arm raised to strike. `Why can't I do it? What's going on?'

 

`Do it!' Another, harsher voice called. `Cut it off! Do it now! DO IT NOW!'

 

“N…NO!” Kagome cried out, before slamming the flat side of the blade against her own wrist, causing it to break and become limp. “Gah!” the pain was almost unbearable.

 

“Kagome!” Inuyasha cried, about to move to her side.

 

“G…get away from me, half breed!” She spit out, backing away as fast as the water and her wrist would let her. She gasped again, and everything went black for a moment. “Stay…stay away. Or I'll…kill you…” she moved farther back and hit the bank of the stream.

 

“Kagome…” Inuyasha said.

 

Kagome, though, wasn't listening. Instead she started to crawl out of the water and onto the land.

 

“Kagura…Kanna...” Kagome said, smiling at them as best she could. “Leave them and tall Father not to worry.” Before she ran as fast as she could into the thick grass and into the woods and rocks beyond the road.
