InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Worst Episode of Bad Luck ❯ Where do we stand now? Part one ( Chapter 12 )

SORRY this is just been edited. 6/20/05

Lades and gentlemen this is it. The last chapter ever of Worst Episode of bad luck. I know it has been long and ugly, but someone had to do it. And it was probably the worst episode in terms of writing. I sucked when I began this story and it just seemed to carry throughout the story. But with this being the last chapter it has it all. Blood, gore, fighting, bitch fighting, death, hate, love, a lime, a lemon, and some other stuff. And it’s going to be really long. I have yet to plan a sequel just to everyone knows. I have two other stories I have posted them I am working on. I have a short I am working on with Kagome and Inuyasha; it’s an AU not yet posted. And I have a story I am working on but it will not be posted for quit sometime, but I will not post till is completed. So that way you all don’t have to wait for updates all the time. And just so you all know, which I didn’t realize it until I really got into writing this. But there has been a major twist. How it happened I really don’t know, but all in the same it did. Just so everyone understands it, it has to with who Kagome ‘really’ blames this whole thing on. But I’m not giving that away so you will just have read to find out. No now with out further ado. Here is……

One more thing. I am writing this after I have finished, I broke this into two chapters but it really is just one big one, I don’t know when you will get the second part though, (Dodges tomatoes, and other fly objects) I will try and hurry I swear….. PLEASE LET ME LIVE….. Ok NOW her is

Sorry, sorry, I forgot……. DISCLAMER: I don’t………. I know I am suppose to say something here but what….. OK so I am trying to avoid the truth.. I don’t own shit…. Not Inuyasha and his cute widdle ears, OR fluffy and that damn body of his, or even Shippo’s nice puffy tale. I do how ever own this very small black corner in my mind.

The Worst Episode of Bad Luck.

Chapter 12: Where do we stand now? (PART ONE)….

Kikyou slowly made her way out from the trees. Her head was bowed something that was very odd for her to do. Inuyasha silently made his way to her but stopped just a few feet short of her. He could tell that there was something odd about her. But for some reason he could not put his finger on it.

Silence grew around them all. No one was sure of what to make of not only Kikyou coming to them but also of the way she was acting. It was all just odd and no one knew if it was an act that was part of some plot she and Naraku had worked out. OR maybe she was just as she appeared. Lost and alone.

Finally Kikyou spoke. But her words were full of venom, but very, very soft.

" What have you done to me?"

Inuyasha looked at her for a moment more before he was, "what?" just incase he hadn’t heard her right.

" I said, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?" she yelled as she lifted her head to stare at Inuyasha. As soon as she had everyone notice the two new appendages twitching on top of Kikyou's raven black hair. "These," she shouted as she pointed to the ears that where in the same place as Inuyasha’s, "and these," she continued as she held up her clawed hands, "And THIS," Kikyou screeched even loader and she held up her tail. "You are the only one who would wish such a thing on me or at lest that thing that follows you around like some… some… some dog. Or should I say ‘like the Bitch’ that she is. You completed the Shikon didn’t you, and this was your wish for me. You wished that I knew what it was like to be in your place. All because I had asked you to become human. Something that would be less of a fight for you, something that people would except more, something more normal. But oh no you turned on me, I gave you love and this is how you repay me. By turning me into this vile beast. What exactly have I done to you do deserve this, to be this, this, thing."

Inuyasha stared at her as if she had grown a second head. He could not believe what she had just said. His emotions were going haywire in side of him. First and foremost she had called Kagome a bitch, no one but he, him self could call Kagome a bitch and get away it unscathed. Then there was the matter that she thought they had done this to her to get back at for something Inuyasha had never even considered taking revenge for. And last but definitely not lest was that she referred to herself as a vile best, when she was the same thing as he was now.

Ever so slowly Inuyasha’s head lowered. His bangs falling in front of his face to hide his eyes. But everyone could see the evil smirk that played across his face. When he finally spoke his voice came out as low and as freighting as any of the members’ present had ever heard it. Sango and Miroku seemed to flinch as the harshness behind it as Shippo ran to hide behind them.

"You want to talk about love. You have never shown me love. If you loved me as much as you had clamed then you would never have asked for me to become a human. You had to of known that I would never be happy as a human. But as usual you could never think of any one but your self. How others would look at you if you were seen with a Hanyou. And also the fact that if I used the jewel you would no longer have to protect it. Another selfish gesture on your part. And finally," Inuyasha’s voice sounded almost like a snarl, "no one and I MEAN NO ONE calls Kagome a bitch." Inuyasha head swung up to reveal his blood red eyes.

Kikyou stared into his eyes as she began to tremble with fear. Her new instincts were telling her to run. But there was also something telling her to stay and that Inuyasha would not hurt her. So she stood her ground. "I will not run Inuyasha if that is what you want me to do. I have brought down beast much larger then you with one arrow."

"Yes, but now you are half ‘BEAST’ yourself so you can not purify me." Inuyasha informed her, emphasizing the word Beast.

"Then I guess I will have to kill you with my bare hands." Kikyou rebutted.

"Not if I take your head first." a voice countered from the forest around them.

Everyone stopped and turned toward the origin of the voice. All their eyes settled on none other then Kagome.

She stood off to the side staring at everyone. The look in her eyes held nothing but hate. Something none had ever remembered seeing in Kagome’s eyes before. Even the time she has lost her temper when Naraku had Sango steal the Tetsusaiga, was nothing compared to the emotion that she held in them now.

"You have no need to protect or defend me any more Inuyasha. Seeing how I had been such a burden to you before. I can take care of my self from now on." Kagome’s voice was as cold as her gaze was. "That is all I ever was to any of you, wasn’t I? I was never of any use, I mean come on, Miroku can see the shards, not quit as good as I can, but he still can see them none the less. Sango is a worrier, one I know that you would never feel unsafe with having covered your back. Shippo even has his part. He is the distraction. So were does that leave me? No where really. After all they only reason I stayed around is because I thought that maybe you might have some feeling for me, but hey you got the clay pot you can use as a bed toy, so really I’m not even need for that now am I?"

The others could hear the sorrow that Kagome tried so hard to hide. But she was unable to in front of them. In just a few seconds of just standing there it had hit her. They never really need her. She ‘was’ just the burden. And this latest even, her death, but proves that all the bit more.

All the emotions that Sesshoumaru had tried to teach her to hide were making their way to the surface. Then it hit why she had made her presents known instead of hiding from everyone like she had originally been. ‘Someone’ had called her a bitch. ‘Someone’ who didn’t have to right call her such a name. ‘Someone’ who would pay for it as well.

Kagome’s cool glare moved to Kikyou. Ever since the dead priestess was brought back to life Kagome had tried her best to be kind toward her, but now things got pushed a little to far. The longer Kagome glared at the dead priestess the faster her anger was rising.

"Control your anger before it controls you." A cool voice echoed out from behind Kagome. "Letting anger drive you will only lead you to failure."

"You bastard. You’re behind this aren’t you? You’re the reason Kagome isn’t acting like herself." Inuyasha growled out. Eyes still blazing red.

"No Inuyasha, I am not the reason. You are the one who could not protect her. You are the one who chose to promise the dead miko your life. You are the one, who pushed her away from you, so YOU would not get hurt. And as for the small changes, that is Naraku’s doing not mine. I am just the one who trained her so she could take care of her own problem." Sesshoumaru’s answered.

As Sesshoumaru’s words sunk into Inuyasha’s head, his eyes began to return to their Amber color. All of his features began to soften as well with realization of what it was exactly what Sesshoumaru said. This was indeed all his fault. He had never meant for any of this to happen.

"And what exactly is her ‘problem’? Kikyou asked from behind Inuyasha.

"Why not ask her." Sesshoumaru answered back, turning his gaze to the once miko beside him who held her head down.

Everyone’s gaze as well went to Kagome.

Kagome let out such an evil laugh it would have put Naraku to shame. "My problem. You want to know what my problem is? If you have yet to figure that out then you are denser then I first thought." Kagome slowly lifted her gaze into everyone’s view. Her scarlet orbs look much like Inuyasha’s did only moments ago. It was then that everyone noticed the small triangle ears on the top of her head that resembled Kikyou’s and Inuyasha’s. Slowly Kagome’s mouth turned into a smirk, one that resembled Inuyasha’s but only with an evil twist that bared her fangs for all to see as she stared Kikyou down.

"My problem started the day I fell through that fucking well, when I got attacked by that fucking caterpillar bitch. Which she was after the jewel YOU could not protect. Then I released Inuyasha, whom was pinned to a tree by YOU. Then we had to deal with the asshole Naraku because he wanted YOU and the jewel that YOU could not protect. Then that witch brought YOU back. And ever since then all I have heard is ‘Kikyou would have hit her target’, ’Kikyou knew how to control her temper’, ‘Kikyou was prettier’, and lastly ‘I LOVE KIKYOU NOT YOU!’ But never was it notice that I was the one who stuck by Inuyasha, I released him, I loved him even when he didn’t love me, I fought for him and nearly died on many occasions, and it was ME who was there to pick him up every time YOU left him broken. SO NOW ask what my problem is."

They all stared at Kagome, never had they heard any of what came out of her mouth. The Kagome they knew was not one to point fingers. Yes they knew how she felt about Inuyasha and when he would sneak off to see Kikyou but never would she have spoken up about it and defiantly not in front of Inuyasha ‘and’ Kikyou. And the words that Kagome had used, all were surprised that she even knew some of the words. But after being around Inuyasha, they assumed, anyone would have a fowl mouth.

Everything grew quiet for a moment. Almost to quiet, as it seemed that everyone was thinking of what to do next. And it was Kikyou who chose to speak next.

"As it seems, someone has some major issues that need to be worked out. So I will take me leave now before the ‘bitch’ gets worse." That was the last thing Kikyou had the chance to say before Kagome was on her like white on rice.

No one knew what to do. If they should pull them apart or if they should just let them go. They all knew that if they were to try and pull them apart someone was bond to get hurt. Inuyasha was the most confused. The two major women in his life right now were trying to kill one another. Or well it was more like Kagome was killing Kikyou.

Kikyou had tried to defend herself, but was unable to. Kagome was too skilled and knew what she was doing when it came to using her claws. Kikyou never thought to train what so ever. Never had she thought she would need the use of her claw. She had amused that she would always have her bow and arrows to protect her. But now they were useless. Just as useless as she was now.

Kagome tore at Kikyou letting all the rage she felt spill out through the tips of her fingers. It was almost like she had no control over actions. Then it hit her what Sesshoumaru was talking about. In one smooth move Kagome lifted Kikyou off the ground and pinned her to a near by tree with one hand.

"I thought you said a ‘worthy’ opponent. This is just pathetic." Kagome’s comment was directed toward Sesshoumaru.

"I did not have the knowledge that she to had become a hanyou. As a miko she would have been a descent challenge for you, but as she is she is as useless as a normal human. Just snap her neck and let us be on our way." Sesshoumaru stoic voice reached everyone’s ears as he turned to leave.

Kikyou’s eyes grew wide at Sesshoumaru’s command. She now knew what true fear was like. Never before has she been so scared of anything in her life.

Kagome’s hand tightened around Kikyou’s neck. Kagome’s face twisting into a look of almost pure disgust. But there was a hint of pleasure that shown its way through.

"Kagome stop this isn’t like you. You would never kill any one no matter who there were or what they had done to you." Inuyasha called from behind Kagome. But she didn’t listen as she continued to tighten her grip even more.

"Wait!" Kikyou wheezed out, only those with demon hearing could hear it though.

"Wait for what?" Kagome asked as her hand loosened a bit so Kikyou could talk better.

Kikyou’s face flushed with relief. "How about a deal or an exchange?" Kikyou asked. At lest Kagome let her grip loosen that was a good sign.

"What kind of a deal or exchange?" Kagome’s browse rose along with her question.

"What ever you want, in exchange for my life." Kagome appeared to be thinking this over. Her face never changing the expression that it had held.

"Very well," Kagome finally said, "a deal and an exchange. When Naraku falls and every thing is said and done with, I want my soul back before you leave this earth. That is the deal. The exchange is Inuyasha’s life for yours."

Now it was Kikyou’s turn to think for a moment or two. Yes she wanted to live for now and when she did go to hell it would have only been that small part of the their soul which she processed that would have gone with her. So that she could live with. (For now). But what she didn’t know is if she could let Inuyasha go unpunished for what he had done to her. But yet if she were to die now she wouldn’t get the chance anyhow.

"Fine." Kikyou squeaked out.

Slowly Kagome released Kikyou much to everyone’s relief, manly Kikyou’s. But she wasn’t about to stick around to see if Kagome was truly going to stick to her end or not, so Kikyou fled the first chance she got.

Kagome, however, was now confused. The look everyone was giving was not the ones she expected or the ones she wanted. They all looked at her different now. As though she was a totally different person. She wasn’t sure if she could stay with them or not. So she looked to Sesshoumaru only to see him walking away. Actually it almost looked like he was sneaking away but everyone knew the great Tai youkia did not sneak anywhere. Kagome’s eyes turned back to the deep brown that they had been before and her face softened.

"Sesshoumaru?" Came Kagome’s timid voice. "What am I to do now?" She asked. For last few months it had been Sesshoumaru who had guided her. She was unable to do it for herself. With new demon blood in her body at times she was unable to think clearly with out going into a rage over something or another. So she had learned to ask him what was expected from her now. After all he was the Tai youkia of these part as well. And she did fear him still. If he wanted her to follow him then that is what she would do. If he told her to die that is what she would do. Not because she loved him or anything but now being a demon her instincts told her to obey the higher-ranking males.

Sesshoumaru turned to face Kagome. He closed his eyes for a second and it almost looked like he was at a loss for words. Then when he did speak, what he said shocked all that stood with in hearing range.

"Now you live your life. My part is done. Do not look so shocked. This Sesshoumaru does have honor. YOU have showed your honor in many was and I have witnessed only but a few times. But today was one. It takes great courage and honor to release your enemy life you did just moments ago. For that I commend you. It was something I don’t know if myself would have been able to do. OR really anyone else here. With what she had put you through, she was lucky it was you though. But however Naraku does NOT have honor. He chooses to manipulate people to do his bidding. Honestly it makes me sick. I agreed to my part on your restoration of life not because I felt sorry for you or even because of Naraku’s deal. It was so that someday you may help with the downfall of the hanyou. You do not owe me so do not ask. You are one less creature that Naraku has control over now. If I had not helped he would have found some other way to restore your soul back in your body. And then he would have had complete control over you as he does Kagura, Kanna, the boy and all his other minions. You are better then that. Even I can see that." With that said Sesshoumaru inclined his head toward Kagome in acknowledge, then turn to walk away yet again.

"Sesshoumaru," Kagome called out standing more like her old self. Her voice caused the great dog demon to stop, but he did not turn around, " Thank you." She called to him.

The great Lord Sesshoumaru continued his way down the dark path that night, with the other looking after him. Only seconds latter a screech and thud could be heard followed by a few giggles and soft child like voice call out, "Sesshoumaru-sama you did not have to hit Jaken so hard for it was Rin’s idea to follow. I just wanted to see if Kagome-sama was going to be ok." and more giggles, "Oh Jaken get up it wasn’t that bad and I’m sure if it was Sesshoumaru-sama did not mean it to be." "Speak for your self Rin, This Sesshoumaru meant it."

Kagome stood staring down the path with tears in her eyes. She was glad that deep in side the great Ice Prince there was a warm heart. Now all she had to do was face the ones that she had hurt the most. Some over time hatred had filled Kagome’s heart, but after see such kindness from one she had not expected it from at all, helped her realize that maybe she was wrong for hating everyone. Especially Inuyasha.

Slowly Kagome turned around to face everyone. All eyes were on her. She took a moment to look at everyone. She noticed that tears seemed to shine in all their eyes. Even Miroku’s. Then she turned to Inuyasha who tears had already begun to fall. The sight before made her realize even more how much they all cared about her. Most of all, it made her realize how much Inuyasha cared about her.

Inuyasha was at the point were he couldn’t take it any more. He had been with out Kagome for so long and now there she was in front of him. All he had to do was reach out and grab her, but something held him back. She was the one that had run from him so she had to be the one to come back to him. When the tears had started to fall he really hadn’t noticed. But now that he did, he didn’t know why he was cry and actually he really didn’t care. All he wanted was Kagome. But, he began to think. It was him who had gotten mad at her. He was the one who was usually yelling at her because she did something that he had told her not. He was the one was harsh to her and called her name. Kagome had ever right to run. And that hurt the most.

"Kagome…." Inuyasha started but did not get the chance to get any more out seeing as Kagome had flung her self into his arms and clung to him. She was crying so hard that Inuyasha could feel her tears as they soaked through the fire rat.

"I’m so sorry Inuyasha, I never should had done anything that I had done. And to think I was actually going to kill Kikyou. Just to see if I really could do. And that I had turned to Naraku for help after what had happened, I am so sorry and from now I will listen to you before I go running off after you have done something stupid." Kagome rambled.

"WOW WOW, After I have done something stupid. Who was the one…." and once again Inuyasha was unable to finish, this time Kagome and sealed his lips with hers…..

A/N.. I LIE. I LIE.. I am sorry I really did think when I started this chapter that I would be the last, but I can’t bring my self to end it. It’s such a bad story, GOOD GOD I SUCK. But any way, enough bashing on my self. The Lemon is the next chapter and that one is the last. Then I devote what little time I have to TL, TH, TL, TD and Simple Touches. I have couple one shots I am working on as well. Just so everyone on FF.N knows the chapter is going to be really short for you guys, I am sorry but its FF.N’s rules about lemons so if you want to see it go to MM. Org.

And thank you so much to those of you who reviewed. I am sorry I don’t give enough credit where it is due. You are the reason why I have continued this story, even with how much I hate it myself. But I now how annoying it is when you’re reading a story you really like then some one up and stops writing and never finish. I know most of you thought I was going to do that but I am not. Thank you once again to all who Reviewed and Read and Put up with this story.

Till Next time look to the stars (I am so corny, I NEED HELP)….. Ok I am a sugar high right now forgive me
