InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Death Of Love ❯ Life Or Death ( Chapter 2 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

“Kagome! Wait! I...I didn't mean it!” Inuyasha shouted desperately.
 
But it was no use. When Inuyasha sniffed, he found the heart breaking sent of tears, sorrow and pain all of which bogged down usually calming happy sent. Then another sent hit him, a demon in the same direction that Kagome was headed. Apparently he wasn't the only one who sensed the demon. Sango and Miroku were already getting prepared for a battle and Kirara had already transformed. All together they ran for the forest-- at least as far as they could get before running into one of Kagome's barriers.
 
Bad sign.
 
Kagome only put up a barrier when someone was in desperate need of help or when she was very upset. And even then it was because she lost control of her powers and they decided to put up a barrier
 
“Inuyasha use the red Tetsaiga!” Shouted Miroku, as he was feeling the strength of the demon from were they were.
 
“Right.” Inuyasha said as he lifted the steel fang. In one move he brought the red Tetsaiga down on the barrier. Only to be thrown back a good 10 meters into a tree. That's when they heard it, the pained screech of the demon. And felt the loss of the demonic aura. A few minutes later the barrier went down. By now it was night time and it hard for them to see. And they were losing her sent.
 
*With Kagome*
 
She didn't know where she was going, just that she was going somewhere away from Inuyasha. After a few minutes of running she felt her powers explode around her making a barrier. Still she didn't stop. Soon after that she felt a strong demonic aura, but not as strong as Naraku of course. But she kept running until the disgusting beast jumped out in front of her. It was a giant rat demon with three eyes. It was easily the size of a modern house and smelled worse then a sewer. (sorta like that rat demon that hakudoshi and kohaku killed, with the rat shrine)
 
“Give me jewel” it growled.
 
Kagome felt her power flare as it jumped to kill her. She shot a purifying arrow at it. The blast was greater then anything she had ever done, but she paid no attention to that. The demon was destroyed, letting out a loud screech of pain as it was burned alive. When all that was left was burning ash, Kagome was already long gone. She was now on the edge of a cliff crying her eyes out. Slowly she felt the power of her barrier wash over her indicating that it finally came down.
 
Suddenly she felt a strong presence nearby. She looked up and saw a Soul stealer there. Soon after, Kikyo emerged from the forest. She was holding something in her hand, but Kagome didn't notice. Kikyo was limping toward here.
 
“Please… Help me.” Kikyo said
 
Kagome never liked Kikyo, but since Inuyasha loved her, she tried her best, however she didn't have her first aid kit with her, so she tore her sleeve, and tried to use that as a bandage. As soon as she leaned over to help Kikyo, she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach. She let out a soul freezing scream as Kikyo lodged the blade in her stomach deeper.
 
“You always were in the way.” Kikyo said coldly, without any emotion.
 
And then she pushed Kagome off the cliff.
 
She took the torn sleeve, and left it where Kagome was sitting, along with the knife that was covered in Kagome's blood.
 
*Back with the Gang*
 
No one spoke as they continued running. The barrier had come down after 10 minutes of trying to break in. Half a mile later, they came across the remains of a rat demon. It was mostly in ashes, and no one could believe that Kagome was that strong to do that. After another 10 minutes of running, they heard a soul freezing scream that they knew was Kagome's. The group picked up the pace. They came across a cliff that was covered in grass. At the very edge, they saw a part of her sleeve that was pinned to the ground by a dagger. The dagger was covered in her blood. They knew they were too late. They knew that she was pushed off the cliff. Pushed into the darkness of the violently thrashing river thousands of feet below. She was dead, and they couldn't do anything about it.
 
second chappie! Yay! Don't worry people, she isn't dead, but it does appear that way! Kagome is very lucky, she doesn't die, but someone does find her, and its someone she knows… but will she remember? Thanks to the people who reviewed!!
