InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Through the Well ❯ Why Kagome? ( Chapter 14 )

Disclaimer: disclaimers are only for people who have nothing to do in their lives to do but write fanfictions. And read between the lines FANFICTIONS!!! If I owned Inuyasha and I say IF, I would have killed Kikyo in a harsh and grotesque way because I would be able to do so!!!

I've decided to do "Hall O' Reviews, down at bottom.!!! Thanks

Did you know that if I put all my reviews from both sites together I have over 110 reviews! And well that's good enough for me!!!!!

Previously on "Through the well"

He glared at them for a moment before he looked down at himself, he was covered in blood. Inuyasha couldn't help but feel saddened by what he did, after all he had started the fight. By the time he pulled himself out of his stupor, Miroku and Sango were long gone, they had told him that they were leaving but he just ignored them.

Mumbling nonsense to himself he leaped up into the trees and headed towards the river. "I have to wash the blood off of myself." He said in a hushed tone as he glanced around he spotted what he thought to be Miroku and Sango, but he quickly dismissed it as he came to the river. Not wanting to waste must time, he plunged into the freezing cold water headfirst.

Chapter Fourteen: Why Kagome?

Trying to get rid of the stench of blood from his hands, Inuyasha roughly scrubbed his palms on a tough rock, but id didn't seem to work too well. Dragging himself out of the water a few minutes later, he shook himself dry and twisting his hair to squeeze out all of the remaining water from his long and gorgeous silver locks of beautiful silk hair. ((Kinda over did it but who cares! ^_^))

He had heard a rustling in the bush and his eyes darted to the trees surrounding him. He growled deeply into his chest at the scent of blood and Naraku.

"Who's there? I can smell you so come out!" he yelled getting into a fighting stance.

Inuyasha heard the crunching of dead leaves and twigs as a small shadow crept out from the trees. Her black hair blew in the wind and her blood stained clothes fluttered. Her eyes were giving him an icy cold and dead stare as she came out into his line of sight.

Her pale skin seemed to give off light as she faced him. She had a bow in her hand and a quiver full of arrows on her back securely. Blood dripped with a rhythmic drip-drop from her fingertips. Her wounded wrist lay at her side, she hadn't cleaned herself yet and she looked like death itself.

"Kagome?" he questioned worriedly taking a step to her. "I'm really sorry for hurting you."

She pulled a long slender arrow from the quiver and held up the bow. She aimed for him and her eyes narrowed as she shouted, "DIE INUYASHA!" she pulled back on the bowstring and released.

The arrow whizzed passed his neck causing him to jump. Her face showed hatred but played a smiled as she pulled out another couple of arrows and shot them at him, then she turned and disappeared back into the trees.

Thinking that she would head back to the village to get her things, Inuyasha angrily ran quickly to the village. He kicked up a lot of dirt behind him as he ran, leaving a huge cloud of dust at his heels.

It only took him a matter of seconds to reach the village and slide into the hut. Miroku, Sango, Kaede, and Kirara stopped what they were doing and looked up at Inuyasha. He ran to the back room and saw her bloody clothes lying on the floor.'Something's not right.' He told himself as he went out of the room and stood in front of everyone. 'Everyone's here but Kagome and Shippo.'

"Where did Kagome go!" he demanded.

"Why are ye so angry Inuyasha?" Kaede asked curiously.

"Kagome tried to shoot me with her arrows!" he growled, "Her clothes are here! Where are you hiding her!"

"I'll tell ye what I was about to tell the monk and demon slayer Inuyasha, Kagome has left." She said, "And how could she have done what ye claim for when she left her clothes were clean. She had all her belongings, but no arrows, I assure you!"

Remembering something from earlier he shouted, "Did you tell Kagome about Kikyo you old hag!" he didn't mean for it to come out like that, but it did.

"Nay, my child, I didn't. But why do ye ask?" Kaede questioned.

"Because Kagome knew about her somehow! Now where's that whelp Shippo at!" Inuyasha snarled.

Sango hid her face into the robes of Miroku and he wrapped his arms around her shoulders whispering soothing words into her ear as he looked up at the hanyou with a sad expression playing on his face.

"I was informed just before ye came Inuyasha that Sango had slain the young kitsune." The elderly priestess sighed heavily.

"YOU WHAT! WHY? HE WAS JUST AN ANNOYING KID!" Inuyasha yelled confusedly, 'Why would Sango kill Shippo?'

"Inuyasha!" Miroku growled, "She didn't do it on purpose. She had no control of her body! And right after he disappeared," Miroku paused for a moment. His eyebrows frowned with thought, "Something's not right about this situation. I sense a foreboding energy, evil."

Sango pulled away from Miroku, here face was red but she had hatred I her eyes. She got to her feet and walked outside into the open, looking down at her katana she frowned.

Everyone except for Kaede followed Sango, curious to what she was doing. Miroku and Inuyasha watched silently as Kirara jumped onto Sango's shoulder and mewed.

Inuyasha growled a bit as he looked out into the forest, he could smell Naraku was close and that's when it hit him. His eyes widened with surprise.

"Have you noticed that Naraku's presence is all around us?" The hanyou asked cracking his knuckles.

"You noticed too?" Miroku said emotionlessly, "Some how he must be connected to all of this."

"KIRARA! Transform!" Sango shouted, "Miroku let's go!"

"Sango my dear what's wrong?" Miroku asked.

"If Naraku really has something to do with all this…" she paused climbing onto Kirara's transformed self and was about to continue when Inuyasha finished for her.

"Then Kagome's in trouble!" he gasped taking off into the air.

There was a faint scream of pain and Miroku jumped onto Kirara's back and held onto Sango's waist. They took off into the air and headed silently to the bone eater's well.

Inuyasha heard another scream half way to the well, his heart pounded into his aching chest. Worry clouded his mind, and as he drew closer the stench of blood filled his nostrils. His eyes became wide, it was Kagome's blood. This only caused him to fun faster, leaping from tree to tree in search of her. Coming to the wells clearing he landed in a hunting position. One of his knees flatly on the ground, the other bent and leaning on his toes. One of his clawed fingers touched the ground holding his balance. Some of his hair fluttered in the wind as his bangs covered his amber eyes from view. His other hand was held closely to his body as his eyes darted around looking for her.

Glancing around he saw dented grass and droplets of blood. It seemed to be everywhere. Kagome was no where in sight, but her backpack lay on the ground slightly covered in blood. He winced at the sight and quickly looked away.

That's when he heard it, the faint sound of haggard breathing. Listening carefully, he looked directly at the well. The hanyou sniffed the air. 'She's still her. I can smell her scent clearly.' He thought as he got to his feet and walked slowly over to well.

As he came closer he caught the sight of Kagome's legs, she had shoes on and there was a gash on her leg that still was bleeding, and badly at that. He jumped over the well and landed by her feet. Her black muscle shirt had been torn a bit, also covered with dirt, grass and blood. From what he saw as he looked at the side of her face, was her hair plastered to her head and her eye closed tightly. She seemed to be in a lot of pain and had many bruises.

Though something still plagued him, underneath the side of her face that Inuyasha couldn't see was a huge dark reddish-black puddle of her crimson blood. His eyes showed pure horror as he crawled over to Kagome's side and gently lifted her chin so he could see the rest of her face. He gasped at what he saw. Her left eye had been swelled shut and four deep claw marks were etched along the side of her face, along with more of the purplish-blue bruises.

A muffled sob escaped his throat as he stared helplessly down at her. He didn't know what to do, he couldn't say anything because when he tried the lump in his throat grew larger.

'Who could have done this to her?' He asked himself, 'This is all my fault! Why couldn't I have kept my big mouth shut? Why didn't I go after her right after she took off? Why? WHY?' "WHY!" he cried out loud.

Kagome's good eye shot open at his cry. Fear filled throughout her body, consuming her soul as her body tensed up. He stared at her and listened to her raspy inhale and exhale of each breath that she struggled to take. A tear fell down her right cheek and he wiped it away from her face with his thumb.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but her mouth just hung open for a second before closing again. The scared expression on her face worried Inuyasha and it hurt him. He touched her forehead and patted her hair and when he saw her shut her eye tightly and begin to shake slightly he recoiled his arm, holding it to his chest.

"Kagome?" he asked as softly as he could.

Miroku and Sango came to the well seconds later on Kirara's back. Sango practically screamed as she took one looked at her comrad on the ground. Miroku drew her into a hug, her face pressed into his chest lightly as she cried for the third time today.

"Inuyasha, we have to get her back to Kaede's before she bleeds to death." Miroku said sternly.

The hanyou nodded as he slipped a hand behind her neck and under her knees. Before he could lift her off the ground, her head jerked back as her body began to spasm. He looked up at the monk utterly frightened.

"I can't mover her. She's in too much pain." He said on the verge of tears himself.

The monk let go of Sango and rushed over to Inuyasha's aide. Kagome looked worse up close than from far away. He had a better look at her wounds though. Lightly pressing his hands on the sides of her abdomen, he felt her writhe in pain followed by a low growl from Inuyasha as Miroku began to lift up the muscle shirt from Kagome's stomach.
