Chapter 14: Regret

*** (Morning) ***

The group was up again and following another rumor about a demon with jewel shards terrorizing a village.

"Inuyasha I sense a jewel shard!" Kagome yelled out.

"Where?"

"Over there to the right"

Kiri was healed enough to where she could fly up to see if she could see anything. Once up in the air an arrow came shooting up from the trees below. This time she was ready and quickly brought up her shield and deflected it. She came down with a good idea of who it was.

"Did you see that Inuyasha" Kiri asked as she came back down.

"Yeah I can even smell her now...Kikyou" Inuyasha replied looking over at Kagome. Sure enough Kikyou came out from behind a tree.

"We meet again Inuyasha" Kikyou spoke ignoring all the death glares from everyone else in the group.

"Unfortunately" Kiri spat out. Kikyou just ignored her.

"So Inuyasha are you ready to go to hell with me yet?" Kikyou spoke bitterly

"He's never going to hell with you!" Kagome yelled

"That's right his place is here with us not in hell with a rotting corps" Sango added

"Inuyasha I am still waiting for your answer" Kikyou said still ignoring the others

"I'm not going to hell with you Kikyou"

"So you choose this copy over me, the one you love?"

"I don't love you anymore Kikyou, I love Kagome"

"Very well then Inuyasha I will do something far worse than taking you to hell. I will do what I did fifty years ago, I will pin you to another tree and this time my little copy won't set you free. GOOD BYE INUYASHA!" After Kikyou's last three words she fired her arrow only for it to be deflected by another arrow. It was Kagome's

"You're not going to get rid of Inuyasha that easily, not while I'm here!" Kagome yelled out

"Then I will get rid of you first!" Kikyou screamed drawing another arrow and firing it at Kagome. The arrow was deflected by a large sword.

"And you're not going to get rid of her as long as I'm around" Inuyasha quietly stated

"If that's how it's going to be fine, you will both burn in hell together!" Kikyou screamed as her spirit collectors flew her away.

"Are you alright?" both Inuyasha and Kagome asked in union.

"Hey an arrow was shot at me and know one asked if I was alright" Kiri playfully wined causing everyone to laugh.

That night now that both their secrets were out Inuyasha and Kagome curled up by the fire no longer worrying about how to tell the group how they feel now that they already know from the little Kikyou incident. They sat around the fire in a comfortable silence that is until Miroku decided to break it. "So this is why Kagome hasn't sat Inuyasha lately"

"You know Miroku I just realized that, I never noticed that Kagome didn't sit Inuyasha when she wanted to go home when Kiri had to help that day" Sango chuckled

"That's right, I remember that" Shippo added

"Hey next time you guys are in trouble I'm not going to help you" Inuyasha shot back trying to defend himself

"We were just kidding and you know that" Sango mentioned "and besides Kiri could save us" Everyone looked over at Kiri waiting for her reply.

Kiri looked up with a confused expression on her face "Huh, did you say something?"

"What's wrong Kiri?" Inuyasha asked

"What do you mean?"

"You've been off lately especially with your fighting, you've never been off guard and usually your never off guard"

"Nothing's wrong, I'm fine"

"Are you sure?" Kagome asked

"Yeah I'm sure, just tired"

"Well it is late, we should get some rest"

Kiri couldn't sleep, she didn't want to sleep because every time she closed her eyes she would see visions of him. She didn't want to see them especially the dream she always had. The one where he would walk away and she couldn't do anything about it, she hated that dream. It haunted her every night.

Kiri looked over the camp, Sango and Miroku were unusually close by the fire and Inuyasha and Kagome were cuddled together by the fire. Inuyasha holding Kagome passively. 'I wish I had something like that, someone I loved who loved me in return. But get real nothing like that will ever happen' Kiri thought sadly. Soon she fell into a deep slumber not wanting to admit the she secretly hoped she would dream of him.

That morning the group awoke early no thanks to Inuyasha and KogaKoga? What was Koga doing here? As usual Koga was trying to claim Kagome as his.

"No way she's going with you!" Inuyasha yelled

"Listen mutt face, I didn't ask you I asked Kagome!" he shot back "By the way she doesn't love you"

"Like hell she does!"

The whole group was up and now watching the scene play out before them. Sango and Miroku just watched in pure embarrassment while Kagome and Shippo stood off in the distance shaking their heads. Kiri was sitting in a tree watching the two argue.

'I wonder if anyone would argue over me like that, I wonder if Sesshoumaru would ever argue over me like that, bad Kiri bad stop thinking like that, it's never going to happen' Kiri thought

"Kiri why don't you stop them, your good at that" Sango mentioned

"Whatever" Kiri sighed as she jumped out of the tree and walked over to the two arguing demons. "Koga stop it already, Kagome's not going any where with you, she loves Inuyasha so just drop it" Kiri spat out dryly

"Kiri what are you saying?" Koga asked

"What I'm saying is give up your not going to claim her. She belongs to Inuyasha now. She doesn't love you!" Kiri yelled. Having enough of this Kiri left leaving three humans, two demons, and one hanyou very confused and worried. Everyone stood there watching Kiri's retreating form.

"What's wrong with Kiri" Koga asked

"Maybe I should go talk to her" Sango said as she ran off to catch up.

*** (With Kiri and Sango) ***

"Kiri, Kiri wait up" Sango yelled. Kiri didn't answer she just kept on walking "Kiri would you just stop a minute?"

"What do you want Sango?" Kiri turned around and yelled

"I just want to talk to yousomething's wrong and I want to know what it isthis couldn't be over the two idiots could it?"

"Nothing's wrong"

"Your lying, if something wasn't wrong you wouldn't be mad right now"

"It's justit's just that I see how much Inuyasha and Kagome love each other and some times I wonder if any one will ever love me like that" Kiri breathed " I see how Koga and Inuyasha fight over Kagome and I wonder if any one will fight over me"

"Kiri I" Sango was cut short

"NO! don't feel sorry for me, you don't know who I feel you already have some on!" Sango gave a confused look as if saying 'what do you mean' Kiri knew what she meant and went on "Don't think I haven't noticed the way you and Miroku look at each other and how close you have been sleeping together"

"Kiri I'm sorry"

"I loved him Sango!...I loved him and I thought that he could love me back" Sango knew who she was talking about. She was talking about Sesshoumaru.

"But now I knowhe doesn't love me, I mean nothing to him. He only wanted me to be Rin's mother, nothing elsejust like father said, no one will ever want me, no one will ever love me, I'm nothing, useless"

"Kiri your not useless, none of use would be here now if it wasn't for you"

"Yes I am uselessbut I will live wit it, I will go on with life and just live with it" Kiri turned to Sango and gave a weak smile "I want to forget about him but I can't, this scare won't let me" Kiri said lifting a hand to touch the scare on her cheek. "We better get back to the group"

"Yeah lets go" Sango said softly. When Sang and Kiri got back to the group Koga was already gone. Miroku was about to ask Kiri a question when he saw Sango giving the whole group the 'Say-one-word-and-i-will-kill-you-all-with-my-giant-boomerang' look and decided against it.

"So are we ready to go?" Kagome questioned as she stood up.

Everyone agreed and started on there way towards the village with the rumor.
