Chapter 8: Just Like You

 

Kagome's head whipped around in the direction of the small voice. She blinked and saw Shippo coming into view. His face was wet with tears and his eyes were red and puffy. He timidly stepped into view, he had obviously been asleep for his hair was ruffled and he was dragging the blue blanket Kagome had given him months earlier behind him.

 

He walked over to her shyly. She looked at him, pain evident in her expression.

 

“Mommy, I can't smell you anymore” he said in a whisper, reaching out to touch her face. She shied away from the touch. He pulled his hand back and clutched the blanket, looking on the verge of tears. “What's wrong?” he asked, his small voice choked.

 

“Please Shippo, don't cry,” she whispered not looking at him but at her bound feet and hands.

 

“Mommy what did I do?” he asked not fully understanding what was going on. All he knew was that his mother was back and she was tied up. He couldn't smell her scent anymore and she refused to have him touch her.

 

It was enough to make the child break down crying.

 

“You didn't do anything I promise” she cooed looking up at him through her bangs, her blue- black eyes pained.

 

“Why are you tied up like that?” he asked. He wanted to know why she was bound, why when he finally got her back she was captured.

 

He looked around the clearing into the familiar faces. Sango and Miroku were looking at them with similar expressions, something akin to pity? Why?

 

“Shippo, I'm sorry. I'm so very sorry” Kagome whispered. “I'm sorry for everything”

 

She refused to answer him; she didn't want him afraid of her. That would be the worst thing that could ever happen to her.

 

“What's going on? Tell me!” he cried dropping the blanket on the earth and clutching the sides of her face. She looked at him with wide eyes as tears streamed down his face in frustration.

 

“Youre…so…cold” he said after a while as the temperature of her face registered to his warm hands. The realization dawned on him, his emerald eyes widened as he stepped back a little. “No…mommy…please no” he cried.

 

“I'm sorry” she whispered again averting her gaze to the ground once again.

 

“No!” he yelled and hugged her, refusing to accept the fact that she was dead, he had not lost another mother. SHE WAS NOT DEAD!

 

“Shippo” she called in a whispered tone to the frantic child. She may as well explain the situation to him. It wouldn't do to have him cry himself into a fit; she wouldn't have it.

 

“I was killed in my time. I-I was revived by someone feeding me blood, and that is how I am here now…I have to drink blood to be fine or else I'll go on a rampage.” She explained as simply as possible.

 

“Your just like Kikyou” he said and she froze.

 

Yes…she was just like the undead miko…

 

A parasite.

 

She breathed out shakily and nodded into his small chest as he still held her. She let the sound of his heartbeat soothe her.

 

There was a new occupant to the clearing, a cold aura accompanied by a taunting smirk.

 

“Hm well it would seem you have become no better than I, reincarnation” came Kikyou's cold remark.

 

Sesshomaru stood, he had had enough of these interruptions, he had questions that still needed answering, but at the present moment he could not state his curiosity, not in the presence of an enemy. He would have to seek his answers from an old friend. This that thought in mind he spun elegantly on his boot-clad heel and entered the darkness surrounding the small clearing.

 

Kikyou had been near by, wishing to seek her beloved hanyou out. She had felt a presence in a near village and had decided to see what it was. She had come across a sight she had never expected to see; Kagome, her goody-two-shoes replacement, in bloodlust.

 

She was shocked to say the least but had done nothing, she had sensed the Lord's presence also and left the duty to him, she had witnessed the capture and the feeding and had heard the bloodsucker's explanation. She had now deemed it a good time to make her presence known; to gloat at the girl's obvious dilemma.

 

Kagome glared at Kikyou, her eyes flashing black.

 

“Do not dare presume to compare me to yourself Kikyou” she spat, “I have not sold my soul to darkness nor do I lie to people luring them into false securities” she glared at the other undead girl's cool façade.

 

“You say that now, but what are you doing to that kit of yours? Tell him about your beast Kagome. Tell him what happens when you refuse to feed” she said loving to look of terror on the other's face and the curious one on the kit's.

 

“That's enough!” Sango growled standing up and glaring at Kikyou.

 

“Be quiet exterminator, this does not concern you” Kikyou bit out coldly, with not so much as a glance in Sango's direction.

 

“Nor does it you” Sango hissed back. Kikyou looked at her slowly.

 

“It becomes my business when my soul is in the body inhabited by a monster”

 

“It is no longer your soul, and even if it was I doubt it would be any better ff in yours!” Sango yelled back with much vigor, tears streaming down her face in angry rivulets, her cheeks flushed from her anger and exertion.

 

Kikyo was taken aback by the slayer's words. How dare she! She glared at the girl, her mud brown eyes cold and dark. She grabbed onto Sango's neck, instantly blocking the air to the girl's lungs. Sango's eyes widened as she latched her hands to Kikyou's cold unmoving one.

 

“Stop this!” Miroku roared standing up but unable to move. He was being rooted to the spot. Inuyasha watched on in horror at what was happenings, but he couldn't do anything about it.

 

Kagome quickly shifted Shippo off of her and got him to remove her bindings. When the last rope was off, she sprang into action, tackling Kikyou, immediately relinquishing her hold on the exterminator's neck and Miroku's movement.

 

Sango stumbled backwards into Inuyasha as she greedily gulped air into her lungs and watched the struggle between the two undead beings.

 

Kagome kept Kikyou on the ground, “Don't you dare lay another finger on any of my friends again” she hissed dangerously. Kikyou smirked at her.

 

“Or else what?” she taunted, “gonna suck me dry? Well I'm sorry to burst your bubble bitch but I have nothing for you to feed off of.” Kagome only glared at her.

 

“You're no better than me. Remember that. You're nothing more than a parasite and you will be nothing more.” Kikyou taunted, knowing the words hit home.

 

Kagome closed her eyes,

 

Kikyou was right….

 

She unconsciously faded from the clearing.

 

Tbc……
