InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ True Love Lives On ❯ Chapter 11 ( Chapter 11 )

Chapter 11

Inu-Yasha stared at his brother blankly.

`Is this who smells so much of Naraku? No, there is someone else here with him.'

"What do you want Sesshomaru?"

"Your life."

Suddenly Sesshomaru lunged at his little brother.

"Inu-Yasha, be careful! He has three jewel shards on him, one in each of his arms, and one in his forehead!"

"Sango, get Shippo and Kagome out of here now!"

When Sango tried to get Kagome on Kirara's back, Kagome just stood her ground.

"No, Sango. I'm staying with Inu-Yasha. I'll be ok, we both know he will protect me, plus, I have Miroku here with me too. But get Shippo out of here, ok?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, go now, please. Get him far away from here."

Sango grabbed Shippo jumped on Kirara and left.

As soon as Sango was out of sight a large scorpion demon came out of the woods and attacked Miroku. Right as Kagome was getting ready to fire a sacred arrow Inu-Yasha recognized whose scent he was picking up on.

"Kagome! Get out of here, now! Go, leave me, I'll be…"

Inu-Yasha was cut off by Sesshomaru slicing him in the stomach with his sword, Tokijin.

"Inu-Yasha!"

Before Kagome could run to her badly wounded boyfriend she felt two hands on her shoulders.

"Who…Kikyo? What are you doing? We have to get to Inu-Yasha!"

"If I were you girl, I would worry about myself right now."

Suddenly Kikyo punched Kagome in the stomach, knocking her unconscious.

"Should I kill him now Lady Kikyo?"

"No, let him suffer for not loosing just one, but both of the women he loves."

"As you wish. I suppose we should be getting back to Lord Naraku's castle then?"

"Yes."

The two of them floated away with Kagome in Sesshomaru's arms. Luckily Sango was close by with Shippo and Kirara.

"Shippo, go back to Inu-Yasha and Miroku and tell them I followed Sesshomaru and Kikyo to the castle. I will meet them in no more than three days at the Bone-Eaters Well."

Good-bye Sango, I'll tell them. Good luck!"

As soon as Shippo got back to the clearing he started to search for his two friends. He found Inu-Yasha sitting in the dirt with his head buried in his hands.

"Inu-Yasha, you're ok! I have good…"

When Inu-Yasha looked up Shippo stopped dead in his tracks.

"Inu…Yasha…it's…umm…ok."

Inu-Yasha was crying and it was the first time Shippo had ever seen it, so he didn't really know how to act.

"Not only did I fail to save Kikyo fifty years ago, I also failed to save Kagome today."

"Sango is following them to Naraku's castle. She told me to tell you that she will meet you by the well in no more than three days."

Inu-Yasha wiped the tears from his eyes while he tried to regain his composure. `I will get you back Kagome, and kill Naraku, Sesshomaru, and Kikyo if necessary.'

Inu-Yasha's thoughts of revenge were broken by Shippo.

"Inu-Yasha! Miroku's been knocked out, I think he might have gotten hurt."

When Inu-Yasha reached the tree Miroku was laying against, the monk opened his eyes.

"Inu-Yasha…Kagome said Sesshomaru had three jewel shards in him."

"Yeah, I know. Kikyo was the person who smelled so much like Naraku. Somehow they've formed a bond…I don't know what it is, but they are almost like one now."

"Inu…Yasha, avenge my death, please. And watch over the girls and Shippo."

"Miroku, what the hell are you talking about. You're not going to die. All you did was get a little bump on the head."

"Not quite Inu-Yasha. Remember that demon I was fighting while you fought with Sesshomaru?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Well, I sucked it up into my wind tunnel. Unfortunately, the whole thing was full of poisonous insects. I have approximately two hours to live with the amount that I sucked in."

"I'm taking you to Lady Kaede. Kagome gave her the remedy that saved you last time. I'll carry you so we'll go faster. Lets go."

Miroku smiled at Inu-Yasha.

"Thanks. I just hope I'll be strong enough to fight the bastard."

"Oh, you will. They took Kagome with them."

"Ha ha ha, I feel the life coursing through my veins already my friend. Now hurry so we can be ready when the beautiful Sango comes."

"I'm going as fast as I can you damned pervert."

The three of them rushed to Kaede's village to give the monk the remedy, dress Inu-Yasha's wounds, and prepare for battle, hopefully their last. As Inu-Yasha ran he thought of what life would be like after their long journey was over.

`Once the jewel is restored I can make my wish…I will wish for the well to always stay open so Kagome and I can stay together forever. Then, maybe I can learn what a "date" is and be a real…what did Kagome call it…a boyfriend? Well, whatever it's called we'll be together forever.'

By the time Inu-Yasha had finished his fantasy they were at the village. Miroku had passed out again, so he knew they had no time to spare.
