Chapter Three: Makai's Warning

 

 

Two more weeks had passed with Ayame now part of the group. She proved to be an invaluable fighter, saving Kagome once or twice when Inuyasha wasn't quick enough, and for that, he was thankful. Makai, too, had proved her worth. She was an excellent fighter, and could call to her any weapon she needed, making her quite formidable. Her skills with magic had also come in handy, not only when fighting demons, but also when one of the group received an injury. She could heal any wound instantly.

 

The group had stopped for the evening, and Kagome was preparing dinner. Inuyasha had disappeared to “think” for awhile. Makai soon followed him out of camp. She had some very important stuff to tell him, and the sooner he knew the better. She found him setting up in the branches of a giant oak tree.

 

“Inuyasha, can I talk to you for a minute?”

“Feh, why do you need to talk to me?”

 

“Please, Inuyasha, it's important, and it concerns Kagome.”

 

“Fine, I'm coming down.”

 

Inuyasha gracefully jumped from the branch he had been occupying a few minutes before, landing with a slight thump in front of Makai. She indicated for him to sit, and then slowly sat in front of him.

 

“Inuyasha, there's something you need to know about me. I can tell the future, and I've been receiving some disturbing visions.”

“What kind of visions?”

 

“The kind where Kagome is lying dead with an arrow through her heart and you are mourning her.”

 

“What!” Inuyasha reared up, anger and worry clouding his expression.

 

“Calm down, Inuyasha. You probably aren't going to like what I tell you. In one week's time, Kikyo will be in the area. She won't call for you like she has in the past because it isn't you she's coming for, it's Kagome. She will try to kill Kagome, Inuyasha, and it is up to you which of them lives. If you choose Kagome, Kikyo will die by your hand. If you choose Kikyo, she will kill Kagome. If you choose neither, they will both die.”

 

“I don't believe you. Why would Kikyo do something like that?”

“Whether you believe me or not, Inuyasha, what I saw will come to pass. It is up to you how it will play out. You need to decide which you will choose, but you will be responsible for that decision.”

 

“This is a lot to think about. I need to be alone for awhile.”

 

“I understand. Just follow your heart, Inuyasha. It will tell you what you truly want to do.”

 

Makai gently patted Inuyasha's shoulder before turning and walking back to camp, leaving a very confused hanyou behind. Inuyasha didn't know what to think. He knew who he wanted to be with, but he had an obligation to fulfill. However, if he didn't choose who he wanted to be with, that person would die. What do I do?
