InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ True Love Lives On ❯ Chapter 5 ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter 5

Inu-Yasha ran through the woods as fast as he could to see why the girl was screaming.

"I can smell her….and Kikyo." He worried aloud.

When he finally got to where the two women were, they were engaged in a fight. Kagome was backed up against a tree with an exhausted look on her face. Not to mention that her face was covered in blood and she looked about ready to pass out. Although Kikyo wasn't as badly injured, she had quite a bit of wounds herself, but she obviously had the ball in her court at this time of the battle.

"Stop it you two!" Inu-Yasha yelled. He could try to try to talk them into not fighting, but they were not interested in what he had to say at the moment. He finally understood how Kagome felt when he and Kouga were fighting. As he thought this he saw Kikyo reach into her bag of arrows and pull one out. Not only did she mean to hurt Kagome, but kill her as well. As soon as Inu-Yasha realized what was going on, he scooped Kagome up in his arms and ran to Kaede's as fast as he could possible run.

When they arrived there Kagome had a few scrapes and bruises on her, and two pretty nasty looking gashes on her left arm; but unfortunately those injuries did not diffuse her temper.

"Inu-Yasha, how could you do this to me? Not only have you snuck out to see Kikyo once, but twice! I just don't get you Inu-Yasha."

"I…umm...Kagome, I… have something I need to tell you."

"Well, I need to tell you something too Inu-Yasha! I love you…I don't know why, but I do. And I think this incident has finally made me aware that I am nothing to you. All I am to you is your jewel detector and a replacement for Kikyo. I'm sorry I have been such a pain in the ass to you!"

And with that she got up, (and winced a little,) and walked out the door.

"Wait, Kagome….where are you going?"

"I'm going home stupid!"

Inu-Yasha just sat down in front of Kaede's hut thinking about what just occurred.

`She, she love's me back?' he thought happily.

Suddenly he heard a noise behind him.

"What do you want old woman?" he asked.

"Inu-Yasha, ye should follow lady Kagome."

"But Kaede tonight is a new moon and if I go through, I can't come back tonight."

"Exactly!"

It was almost sun set when Inu-Yasha jumped through the well.

When he came out on the other side he could feel his transformation beginning.

"Shit. I guess no turning back now" He sighed.
