Chapter 2: Confession of a different kind
"What? Surprised to see me?" Kagome asked with a bit of a smirk.
He couldn't say anything he just stood there moving his mouth like a fish.
"Kagome? How are you here? Didn't you die?" Asked an awestruck Sango.
"Yes I did. And while we're on that topic," she said as she looked over her shoulder at
them, "Why are here with them?" She asked pointing towards Inuyasha and Kikyo.
"Well, why wouldn't we be?", she responded confused.
Kagome looked quizzical and hurt. Doesn't it matter? Don't they care that I died? How I died? Then her eyes widened as she realized what had happened. She got a very mischievous grin on her face. Oh, yes, this was going to be fun. She slowly turned back
towards Inuyasha, and that smirk he saw on her face scared him.
"You didn't tell them did you?" she asked him slyly
"T-tell them wh-what?"
"The truth about what happened that night? What did you tell them, I was dead when you got there, or that you never even found the body?” She said looking him in the eye. As soon as he diverted his gaze she knew that she had him.
"I don't know what you're talking about!", he yelled at her trying to cover up his panic with frustration.
"So what? Is bag-bad Inuyasha afraid of what the others might think?" She said taking a step closer to him.
"Inuyasha isn't afraid of anything!" shouted Kikyo, deciding to add herself in now. "And I just have to say how funny this is, 'cause it looks as though the tables have turned. This
time you're the dead one, and I'm the living one."
"Yes, I am dead... on the inside. However, I am horribly disappointed to let you know that I am truly alive. My blood still runs, my heart still beats, and I still have a soul in my body." She explained not looking away from Inuyasha. "Now, with that said, I suggest that you stay out of this Kikyo."
"I don't have to, bitch." Now that caught Kagome's attention. She quickly snapped her head in Kikyo's direction. Kikyo stumbled backwards a few feet and you could see the look of shock and horror on her face as she felt the hatred coming off of Kagome in tidal waves.
"As I said before, I suggest you stay out of this," she held her hand out in front of her and snapped her fingers as a little ball of flame appeared above them, "Before I turn that pretty little body of yours into ash!"
Kikyo didn't need to be told again. She just coward away quickly afraid for her life.
Kagome turned back to Inuyasha and could sense fear coming off of him. But, fear for what? Kikyo? His life? She didn't know, and frankly, she didn't care.
"So, what did you tell them little boy?" She asked in a mocking voice.
"I'm not a little boy." He said through gritted teeth.
"Then what are you, a man?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes! What else would I be?" he said starting to lose his patience.
"A coward," She said in an eerie calm. "A man would confess to what he has done, a coward would run away hoping that no one would ever find out! So tell me Inuyasha, which one have you done?" She said getting louder with every word.
"I am not a coward!"
"Prove it." she told him while cocking her head to the side.
"How do you suppose I do that?" He asked while narrowing his eyes at her.
"By telling the truth."
"What truth?
"THE REAL TRUTH DAMNIT!" Kagome roared out as fire literally appeared in her eyes and a burst of flame engulfed both of her hands. Her Hair flew around her wildly by an invisible wind and turned orange-red so that it looked like fire dancing about her. Everyone except Inuyasha took a good number of steps back, afraid for there lives.
Inuyasha just stood there, staring into her eyes. He saw fury, rage, and... and... what was that, pain? Yes, pain. Though the wounds were gone she would never heal, unless someone came and healed them for her. But how? That's when he knew, he had to tell the truth, not just for him, but for her. She needed to know the truth.
"Fine. I'll tell the truth." He said in a clear voice. He wanted everyone to know because he didn't want to cause her anymore trouble or pain. Her hair died down but was still orange-red, and the fire around her hands disappeared, but the fire in her eyes stayed, waiting to be released if he said the wrong thing.
"What are you guys talking about?" Asked an extremely confused and scared Sango.
"That night, I told you I never found her, truth is, I did. I found her and Kikyo. They were both being attacked, and I could only save one," until now he had been looking her in the eye, but he just couldn't anymore. He looked down at the ground. " And I saved Kikyo-"
"And left me there to die." She finished for him as the fire in her eyes died down.
Everything just fell silent, it seemed almost as though the entire world went still until she decided to speak again. "I hope you liked it."
"Liked what?" Inuyasha was confused on what she meant by that.
"When Kikyo got her soul back, when you first found out I died? Did you like it?" She asked.
Inuyasha couldn't believe she said that. How could he have liked it? He felt like he had died himself. He had actually cried. 'Wait, what? That's it, I cried. I've never cried for anyone other the my mother. My god, I made the biggest mistake of my life.'
"Actually," she decided to speak again," I hope you didn't like it. I hope it hurt like hell. Just as much as it hurt me when I was lying there, in a puddle of my own blood, as it stained my clothes and my skin. Listening to nothing but my own heartbeat, begging it to stop. Begging for the pain to stop. But every time I thought it did, it would follow up with another beat, never to release me from its pain. Thump... thump... thump. And you know what," She took a step closer to him and whispered in his ear, "I still wish it would stop."
That made him tremble. Not because of how close they were or because of fear, but because of pure sadness. He felt like he was about to breakdown right there. He wanted to die for her, to save her the pain and put it on himself. He wanted to make the score even for her sake. In Kikyo's case, it was just an imitation of him that killed her, in this case, it was the real thing. But before he could say anything she turned away.
"Then again, I was always the one preaching about how true love should be put before anything. I guess that I should have known that it would come back and bite me in the ass. Though," she said as she quickly turned around and punched him in the jaw. A large crack was heard through out the clearing as Inuyasha fell to the ground, "Payback is always sweet."
