InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Prologue - A Test of Memory (The Coming of Rinkatsu) ❯ News About Naraku ( Chapter 9 )

Kikyo began regaining consciousness... she could see the light of the morning sun as she awoke. Rinkatsu had knocked her out. As soon as Kikyo got to her feet and regained stabilty, she was suddenly hit by the reality of what happened. Rinkatsu had the jewel and nothing good was going to come from him using it. Kikyo was overcome with fear and regret, knowing she was responsible for what was going to happen. She fell to her knees and began to cry.

"He... he used me," she whispered to herself.

Suddenly, her attention was drawn to what she thought was a call. It was getting closer and closer and with ever call, the words became clearer. Someone was shouting "Kikyo!"... it was Inuyasha!

"Inuyasha!" yelled Kikyo.

Inuyasha noticed the response to his calls and began yelling for Kikyo's location.

"I'm here Inuyasha! I'm here!" After about five minutes of call and response, Inuyasha finally found Kikyo.

"Kikyo! I was worried sick!" Inuyasha said.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha... I tripped over a rock and was knocked cold... I promise I'll be more careful," said Kikyo.

"It's alright. Just as long as you are safe." Inuyasha hugged Kikyo very thankfully. "Plus I have good news for you... the temple bells are ringing for victory! No longer will we have to worry about that bastard Naraku!"

"What happened?" asked Kikyo.

"A mysterious warrior finally killed Naraku... he was hiding in the northern mountains and the warrior surprised him. Never gave him a chance to defend himself! Just like I woulda done. Only problem is that Naraku's killer vanish after the fight... no one knows who he is..."

Kikyo faked a smile of relief to Inuyasha and hugged him... for she did know who was the assassin of Naraku.
