InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Worthless Child ❯ Troubled Waters ( Chapter 3 )

"Troubled Waters"

`Where am I? Is this a dream? I can't see anything, what's going on?'

"Inu-chan" said a feminine voice from somewhere behind him.

`Who said that? Sounds familiar....' Inuyasha turned around to see a girl who was eye level. Brown eyes that displayed obvious feelings stared back. Her hair seemed to blend into the black background she was against, as it cascaded down to her waist. As his eyes took in the rest of her, he took in the rest of her. Mainly, the blood red tube top and pitch black jeans that seemed to be a second layer of her skin.

"Where have you been Inu-chan? I've missed you." said the mysterious figure as she leaned over and gently stole a kiss. As she came up her eyes glowed with mischief.

Inuyasha's eyes grew wide (anime style) as realization overtook him.

"Kikyo....." he breathed.

Flashback

It was spring 2 years ago. Inuyasha was walking home hand in hand with Kikyo after a particular satisfying make out session. Kikyo was walking next to the street, for she always preferred to hang on his right side.

"Inu-chan?"

"Hmmm?"

"Can I tell you a secret?"

"Of corse" He said with a smirk.

Kikyo smile illuminated her face as she disengaged herself from him with a huff.

"Don't be so cold Inu-chan"

This time a real smile overtook Inuyasha "Fine fine what is it?"

"Well...."

Out of the corner of his eye, a black ford explorer (it always is huh?)Skids around the corner as the window rolled down. Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion. As the window finished rolling down, it produced a man wielding a handgun. Inuyasha could clearly see a man he had seen only from afar surrounded by his lackeys. Naraku.

BANG BANG BANG

Kikyo's body jerked as her eyes opened wide. Her mouth opened but no words came out. Instead blood ran down her front. She began her slow fall forward. Inuyasha reached out to catch her and both landed on the floor.

"In...u........chan.....I'll.....miss.....you...."

"Kikyo!" said a distraught Inuyasha "Don't leave me!"

"I love you........Inu...................chan" Kikyo said as her eyes began to go unfocused and distant but never leaving Inuyasha's face. She smiled a small smile as her body went limp and cold.

"SOMEBODY CALL AN AMBULANCE"

End flashback

"How come you had to die!" Inuyasha demanded angrily.

"Ah don't be like that Inu-chan" Kikyo said with a playful smile "How can be so mean to your ex lover?"

"Ex lover? You mean current....right........? Or did you never love me to begin with?" Inuyasha said taken aback at first, then demanded with anger making him quiver.

Kikyo shook her head sadly then kissed him again "Well that take cares of your second question now doesn't it Inu-chan? As for your first, you have to move on Inuyasha. I'm dead and all I want is for you to be happy in this life. For me? Please?" She said as her figure began melting into the background.

"Wait Kikyo!" Inuyasha shouted at the disappearing figure "Don't leave me again"

The figure faded away completely. Inuyasha fell to the ground slamming his fist into the ground that wasn't there. A faint whisper was heard along with the feel of a soft hand on the back of his neck.

"Good bye"

Inuyasha froze at this, realizing for the first time, really realizing it, that Kikyo and everything she meant to him was really gone. The wounds inside of him that he thought has healed over, were ripped open allowing old pains to surface. He hung his head and began to silently cry.

"Inu-no-niichan, what's wrong?"

This Chapter is still a little shorter than what I expected. Oh well.
