InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sacrificial Love ❯ chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

Updated: 12/10/05

 

Cherrie: thnx for the reviews! I am so sorry to the people that thought my story was confusing and was going too fast I'm not a very good writer but for the rate it's going, it's just how I like the pace, I'm sorry if anyone is offended! It's my very first attempt at a Inuyasha fic. Hope you like this chapter. Keep voting!

 

Summary: Due to some misunderstandings, during the final battle with Naraku, Kagome dies saving Kikyo with the belief that Inuyasha loves Kikyo. Inuyasha is devastated and will do anything to tell her how he feels, even if that means begging Sesshomaru.

 

My story ideas:

InuKag #2: Publicly, the all famous Inuyasha and Kikyo are madly in love, but what the world doesn't know is that Kagome is the one pretending to be Kikyo to keep her safe from assassins... what's going to happen when Inuyasha asks "Kikyo" to take their relationship a step further? (Alternate Universe: Set in present day Tokyo)

SessRin #1: Rin, a young teenager who loves music, especially the piano. Finally getting out of home schooling for the past few years she enters a normal high school, but its not what she hoped for. People constantly tease her and push her around because of her disability of sight. One time they take it too far but suddenly a man saves her and she finds out that he shares the same interest and talent in music. Unfortunately he's mute, or so he seems to be. (Alternate Universe: Set in present day Tokyo)

“…” Speech

 

`…' Thoughts

From Chapter 1

 

“Sorry but my territory isn't for worthless hanyous and their dead bitches, come on Kagome, let's go sit down” he said with a smirk, and led Kagome under a tree where she start to cry while Kouga hugged and comforted her.

 

`Kagome…' Inuyasha thought. He regretted making that statement but his pride prevented him from taking it back and apologizing so he just went over to Kikyo and sat down with her while Sesshomaru watched with amusement thought still remaining a stoic face.

 

`Foolish half-breed, he doesn't even know who he wants.' Sesshomaru thought with a mental smirk.

 

 

Sacrificial Love

 

Chapter 2

 

In the Inuyasha Forest (Normal POV)

 

As soon as Inuyasha sat down with Kikyo, he asked,

 

“Kikyo, I thought we were going to hell.”

 

“We were Inuyasha, but then I heard that my reincarnation was staying in our time so I decided to stay also, so that we can visit.” Kikyo said, `and so that I can torture her with something that I have and she can never get' adding the last part mentally.

 

“Oh.” Inuyasha replied. Inside Inuyasha would rather go to hell than see Kouga and Kagome together, he couldn't bare the fact that he didn't tell her how he felt because he knows that he will regret it forever. Snapping him from his thoughts was Kikyo for she leaned her head to rest on Inuyasha's shoulder surprising him that she would show so much emotion, but shrugged it off mentally.

 

Kagome who did not miss any of this felt her heart break even more if that was possible.

 

`I thought- I thought that- no, never mind he never did.' She thought mentally as more tears leaked out.

 

`That stupid hanyou, doesn't even know what he's going to miss.' Kouga thought angrily.

 

`Stupid weaklings and their human emotions, Keh.' Sesshomaru thought with a mental smirk. (cherrie: Keh? How cute!)

 

Suddenly the winds picked up and the sky went dark

 

`Naraku.' Everyone thought in unison.

 

“Hello my friends, I see that all of you are here today. That's good, saves me time from going to each one of you and steal your shards.” Naraku said, although you couldn't see him yet, just hear his voice.

 

Quickly, Inuyasha unsheathed his sword and got into his fighting stance.

 

“Come out you moron!” he yelled.

 

Sesshomaru laid passively against his tree, but he was on high alert. You just couldn't see it.

 

Kouga has got into his fighting stance standing in front of Kagome, who had an arrow ready in her bow.

 

Suddenly a `Dance of Blades' was heard and Kagura appeared. Luckily everyone dodged in time so no one was harmed, except Sesshomaru who did not move at all and was against his tree with no expression. (LOL!)

 

“WIND SCAR!” was heard along with Inuyasha's battle cry as he charged at Kagura who barely dodged it cutting her left arm a bit.

 

“You half-breed!” she yelled as she threw another attack towards Inuyasha who blocked it with his Tetsusaiga.

 

Now it was Kouga's turn to avenge his comrades, with his agility granted by his jewel shards, he ran up to Kagura and kicked her against a tree causing her to spit blood out.

 

“I will avenge my fallen brothers!” he yelled as he jumped up in the air and landed with his heel digging into Kagura's stomach. Death was instant.

 

“You fight very well my friends, but it is still not up to my standards, perhaps this will show you!” Naraku said as he floated down with Kanna and shot one of his tentacles towards Inuyasha and Kouga who barely dodged it.

 

“And the two incarnations, how nice to see both of you together.” He complimented as he shot another two tentacles at them.

 

“KAGOME” Inuyasha and Kouga yelled, but Kouga got to her first and escort her safely.

 

“Kikyo!” Inuyasha then yelled and picked her up and dodged the tentacle, unfortunately he was a bit late and it scratched him on his side.

 

“Damn you!” Inuyasha yelled. Ignoring Inuyasha's complaints, Naraku turned and faced Sesshomaru who was still standing against his tree.

 

“Ah, and Sesshomaru. My only partial worthy opponent.” Naraku smirked.

 

“HEY! I am better than him!” Inuyasha complained.

 

“Save it little brother.” Sesshomaru stated as he ran up to Naraku with his poisonous claws, unfortunately he missed.

 

“Getting a bit slow are we Sesshomaru? Maybe this will make you run a faster.” Naraku smirk as Kanna's mirror glowed and showed a picture of Rin screaming and crying.

 

Sesshomaru's eyes flashed red for a second before returning to their normal colour.

 

“How dare you.” He said as he unsheathed Tokijin and pointed it at Naraku.

 

Suddenly Rin came out of Kanna's mirror bloody and battered. This made Sesshomaru more furious. He ran to reach Rin but was stopped by a barrier, helplessly he watched as Naraku lifted Rin by her little throat as she screamed.

 

“Naraku.” Kagome said calmly as she shot her purity arrow at him breaking the barrier. Naraku hissed at her.

 

“Foolish human.” He said, but was cut at the side by Sesshomaru's Tokijin while getting Rin in the process.

 

In a flash Sesshomaru appeared at Kagome, “Take care of her.” He said and set her down on the grass.

 

Sango and Miroku finally decided to aid in the battle and ran up to Kagome to help her take care of Rin.

 

“Kagome, Sango and I will take care of her, you should try and shoot at Kanna's mirror since she can bring people out of it, she may be able to produce more demons to aid Naraku. We don't have time to waste.” Miroku explained.

 

With a quick nod Kagome ran closer to Kanna and set her bow ready. Meanwhile Inuyasha, Sesshomaru and Kouga were all fighting Naraku, scratching him here and there but not doing real damage.

 

`Damn, at this rate we'll never win!' Inuyasha thought.

 

Then Sesshomaru maybe by luck of skill slashed at Naraku with his poisonous claws and got a deep cut in his stomach. Naraku hissed in pain.

 

“Damn you Sesshomaru, but it does not matter. Kanna, send forth the demons.” He said.

 

Kanna's mirror started to glow and shake. You could hear demon voices screaming.

 

“Its now or never” Kagome said as she was going to release her arrow. Unfortunately Kikyo had done that before her and destroyed the mirror, giving Kagome a clear shot of Kanna. The arrow pierced her heart and she too died.

 

“Damn you!” Naraku hissed as Inuyasha stabbed him in his chest.

 

Quickly making another barrier around him Sesshomaru, Inuyasha and Kouga were flung away from Naraku. Inuyasha had gashes all over his body but none of them were serious. Kouga had only a few scratches thanks to his agility, and Sesshomaru had no injuries except a mere scratch on his right shoulder.

 

“Stupid mikos,” Naraku hissed, “You will pay!”

 

Opening part of his barrier, two tentacles shot out at Kagome and Kikyo, unfortunately none of them were quick enough to stop it. The two tentacles wrapped around Kagome and Kikyo's neck and dragged them back into the barrier that closed up shortly after.

 

“KAGOME!” Inuyasha and Kouga yelled.

 

“Kikyo!” Inuyasha also yelled.

 

Kouga and Inuyasha watched helplessly as the woman the loved, and used to love struggled to breath.

 

“It's sad to watch two women die, especially in my hands. What do you think Inuyasha? I'll free one of them you can choose, but which one?” Naraku said.

 

“FREE KAGOME!” Kouga yelled.

 

Inuyasha stood there stunned, he didn't know who. Kikyo? The women that he used to love or Kagome? His sunshine and the air he breathed. As much as he would like to free Kagome, he could not live with the fact that he let Kikyo die again in Naraku's hands.

 

“STOP!” Kagome screamed, snapping Inuyasha out of his thoughts.

 

“What is it?” Naraku asked slyly as he licked her cheek to free her of her tears. This action made Inuyasha's eyes flash red for a moment.

 

“Let go-let go of Kikyo.” She whispered softly even Naraku barely heard her.

 

Inuyasha only saw Kagome's mouth moved but could not hear the sound.

 

“Kagome! What did you say!” he yelled.

 

But he did not get an answer, instead he saw Naraku's grip on Kikyo slip and he threw her out of his barrier. Quickly he ran to Kikyo and was relieved to see that she was only unconscious.

 

“KAGOME!” Kouga yelled.

 

This snapped Inuyasha back to the current situation. His love was still in the arms of Naraku. HIS KAGOME. He could not ignore it any further, he loves her.

 

`I love her.' He thought.

 

“Naraku! Release Kagome now!” he yelled.

 

Kagome was still in Naraku's strong grip. She knew what to do, she had her arrows, all she had to do was stab a purifying arrow at him then it would all be over. That was the problem, to stab Naraku the arrow had to go through herself first. The thought of death did not scare her but the thought not being able to see Inuyasha again did.

 

`Inuyasha, I never got to tell you how I truly felt but I hope that this actions shows you that I will do whatever to fulfill your dreams. I wish you the best of luck with Kikyo.' She thought as she pulled out her arrow and aimed it over her heart.

 

Inuyasha saw this and knew exactly what she was going to do.

 

`No, Kagome don't! I can save you. I can't lose you! Not now not ever! Don't you understand! STOP IT!' he yelled in his mind.

 

Naraku also saw this and his eyes widened.

 

“What are you-“ he started but was interrupted when the arrow Kagome was holding pierce through herself and him.

 

Kagome's eyes were closed when she stabbed herself but her mouth was carved into a smile.

 

`I love you. Inuyasha.' She thought.

 

“NO! KAGOME!” Inuyasha yelled and ran forward.

 

`Don't do this Kagome please!' his mind screamed.

 

Her arrow shone white and Naraku dissolved as he was purified, leaving Kagome to fall down 30 feet from the ground, even if the arrow didn't kill her, the fall would. Inuyasha saw her falling figure and pushed his legs to a speed he's never seen before, it was as if he's as fast as a full demon like Sesshomaru. In a flash he grabbed Kagome and gently set her down on his lap, he was hugging her frail body against his warm chest.

 

“Please Kagome, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you, please just wake up I'd do anything, I'll give you the jewel, I do anything! Just come back to me! Kagome!” he yelled, tears coming out of his eyes.

 

“I-Inuyasha…” Kagome whispered but choked when blood came out of her mouth.

 

“KAGOME!” Inuyasha cried, “Hang on! I'll bring you to Kaede's, she'll fix you up!”

 

Kagome smiled faintly.

 

“Inuyasha, it is too late for me now… p-please don't f-forget about me.” She whispered her voice hoarse.

 

“NO! You can't you won't die!” he yelled as he crushed her body to his, “why did you do that! Baka! I could've have saved you! Why did you tell him to let Kikyo go!”

 

“B-because, I didn't want to see you unhappy… it's cuz you loved her, I-I would do a-anything to see you smile.” She replied.

 

“Kagome…” he breathed as he hugged her tightly afraid of letting go, “How could you, I love you, don't you see?”

 

Kagome's eyes widened.

 

“I-Inuyasha… I do too b-but Kikyo?” she asked, her voice straining with every word she said.

 

“I once loved her, now I love you! Not because you're her reincarnation but because you're you! Kagome Higurashi!” he cried.

 

“I-Inuyasha… I l-love you t-too.” she said as she took her very last breath.

 

She went limp.

 

“KAGOME!” Inuyasha yelled as he lifted his head up to the raining sky.

 

cherrie: Good place to end? Bad place? Don't worry there's still one more chapter I think. Please write and review! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! It was so sad.
