Chapter 9
Easier Said Than Done
Inuyasha, palms pressed against the god tree, leaned into Kagome and shared his warmth. Their tongues tussled as she wrapped her legs around his waist, held up by his weight pushing her back into the tree. The cool, gentle midnight breeze gently wafted over their bare skin. Inuyasha stiffened and pulled his lips from Kagome when the breeze changed direction. His ears searched for unnatural sounds while he tipped his nose up and sniffed the air.
“What is it, Inuyasha?”
He gazed down into her eyes with what appeared to be worry.
“Hurry up and get dressed,” he growled and lifted her down to her feet.
“What is it?” she asked again.
He looked at her as though he was incapable of speech.
“Kikyou,” he hesitantly whispered.
Kagome gasped and both dressed in a hurry.
“Stay here,” he commanded.
“I beg your pardon! You're my mate. I won't be left behind while you meet with her,” snorted Kagome with one ticking eyebrow raised.
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at her. “I need to handle this on my own. Don't you trust me?”
“There's no such thing as trust. The only thing I trust is that you are as imperfect as the rest of us. Trust puts someone on a pedestal of perfection that the person cannot possibly uphold. We all have our weaknesses. You may need my help, my support,” asserted Kagome with conviction.
Inuyasha stood stunned, mouth agape. `How could she say that she can't believe in trust? I thought she trusted me?' Finally, he managed to form words.
“Do whatever you want. I can't stop you.”
He turned and stalked away. Kagome let him put a good amount of distance between them before she began following, determined not to lose what she had just found and, what she hoped with all her heart now belonged to her; even if she was extremely pissed right now.

Inuyasha glanced back. He didn't know how to feel about what she had said. It hurt and made him angry to think that she didn't trust him. But then again, could he trust himself? He had to come face to face with Kikyou and had to reject her.
`Am I strong enough to do this? Can I turn my back as if it is nothing? How do I do it? How?'
He furrowed his brow and slowed his steps hoping to give himself time to figure out how to let Kikyou down as gently as possible.
“Inuyasha,” a familiar voice cooed with an undertone of malice.
He looked up to see Kikyou lazily reclined in a large tree. Her soul stealers were bringing her the souls of dead women. It saddened him to know that those women were someone's daughter, perhaps sister or mother.
“How can you take their souls, Kikyou?” asked Inuyasha, lamenting her fallen state.
“To be near you...my love. You belong to me. Remember? You promised.”
“What did I promise?” Inuyasha played the game this time, instead of allowing her to control the conversation.
“You said you wanted to stay with me forever,” pouted the replica of the woman he once loved.
“...if only time could stand still,” he replied. “And you asked if I would like it if you made time stand still. Did you make time stand still, Kikyou?”

“...if only time could stand still,” he replied. “And you asked if I would like it if you made time stand still. Did you make time stand still, Kikyou?”
He remembered, finally. He had believed that, if time could stand still, they could be together. She had made the offer. The memory was a bit blurry, though.
Kikyou glared. “If that girl hadn't so rudely interrupted, I would have had you in hell with me.”
“Why were you taking me to hell, Kikyou? The Kikyou I knew would not have been in hell,” he smirked then stepped closer to the tree. Check.
“Enough questions!” Kikyou floated down to Inuyasha borne on her soul stealers.
“What's the matter, Kikyou? Afraid I'll find out what you really are? A bag of clay and bones? A golem? A monster?” He stood straight crossing his arms in front of his chest.
Kikyou softened her gaze. “Where should I have gone? Your betrayal caused the hatred in my heart. That hatred is what sent me there. YOU sent me there, Inuyasha,” she murmured, putting as much martyrdom into her voice as possible. Check mate.
Inuyasha's heart sank. The guilt he had thought Kagome to have purged from him resurfaced.
“Inuyasha, we were meant to be together. I will not rest until we are.” She stepped forward placing her cold, hard hand to his cheek.
Inuyasha closed his eyes with the pain she instilled. He drifted to the memories of his time with her. Kikyou grinned as, yet again, Inuyasha began to fall under her wicked spell.
“Come, Inuyasha,” she whispered and wrapped her arms around the neck of the hanyou then placed her cold lips to his. Her spell drew him in and plunged him into the dark depths of unconsciousness.
“No! You can't have him!” yelled Kagome. “Inuyasha! Wake up! Don't let her take you!”
“You are a nuisance!” scowled Kikyou and pointed her finger toward Kagome.
“Go. Away.” Light emanated from the tip of her finger and turned into a white, coiled ball of power.
Kikyou glared. “If that girl hadn't so rudely interrupted, I would have had you in hell with me.”

“Go. Away.” Light emanated from the tip of her finger and turned into a white, coiled ball of power.
As the ball shot toward Kagome, she screamed. “Inuyasha!”
Inuyasha's eyes snapped open, her panicked voice having broken the golem's spell. “Kagome!”
Inuyasha's eyes snapped open, her panicked voice having broken the golem's spell. “Kagome!”
He jumped from Kikyou's arms to grab Kagome out of harm's way and to encircle her in a protective embrace. “Are you okay?”
“Mmm,” she nodded.
The golem glared at them.
“You are mine, Inuyasha!” she declared.
“You are not Kikyou,” Inuyasha firmly stated, finally having figured out the puzzle. “Go back to where you came from.”
The perverted creation of the witch Urasue gasped. The one chain that bound the thing to this world had been broken. There was no one she could cling to for purpose in the world of the living. Souls of dead women began to flee her body of earth and bones.
“Noooo,” cried out the false image of Kikyou as her body disintegrated.
Inuyasha squeezed Kagome tightly. She sighed in relief and brought her forehead to rest against his chest. Now would be a perfect time for her to say 'I told you so'. But, that wasn't Kagome's way of doing things and Inuyasha appreciated that.
"Are you okay, Inuyasha?"
"Kikyou died over fifty years ago. I just haven't been willing to accept it. That wasn't Kikyou. Even Urasue said she was a demon, but I couldn't give Kikyou up," he sadly stated. "But, you're here now. That's all that matters," he murmured smiling at her.
"Thank you, Inuyasha."
“Now, where were we before we were so rudely interrupted?” grinned a relieved hanyou at Kagome and then rose from his squatting position beside her.
“I think we were about here.” She squirmed out of his arms, wrapped hers around his neck, and hopped up to straddle his waist between her legs.
Inuyasha purred and a low growl formed in his chest when she reached up and stroked his ears…
“Mmm,” she nodded.
The golem glared at them.
