serenitygirl13—Thanks! I hope you will continue to read even though Inu has officially lost the race. I'll probably be writing an Inu/Kag soon because I've been separated from it for so long.

 

Joey—Gomen ne, but the trio has lost the race. I hope you will continue to read this event though Inu will not be in the pairing. Perhaps I will pair him with someone else.

 

Nomanic—O_o I did not just hear you say that. ::sigh:: I was already contemplating killing Inu if the trio lost, but I just can't decide. Hiei was the one to accidentally punch Kagome in the stomach. I'm sorry if it wasn't clear.

Chapter 13: Sorrow

Kagome's soul struggled against Kanna's mirror and Tsuyoi's control when she saw them being chained to the wall and surrounded by Tsuyoi's copies. She saw the disbelief in their eyes at her position. Pain tore through her heart as her hands moved on their own to caress Tsuyoi's chest. Her eyes took in the disgust on their faces, and her struggles increased futilely.

“I welcome you to my castle. Did you enjoy the trip?” An evil grin lit Tsuyoi's face. His claws dug slightly into Kagome's hips in warning when he felt her inner struggle. He forced more of his influence on her when the struggle in her became alarming. “Lord Sesshomaru,” he said scoffing, “how nice of you to drop by. Your sister correct? She is so delicious.” Sesshomaru growled slightly and pulled at the chains binding him. His struggles were echoed by those of Inuyasha and Hiei. Tsuyoi only grinned malevolently and cast a look at Kagome for her to continue.

A pool of dread sat deep in her gut as she tried to resist his commands, but it was futile. Even as she bent down toward him and seized his lips, her mind battled against the invading evil. A wave of disgust shivered through her form as she felt him harden beneath her. A single tear trailed down her face.

Hiei was beyond furious. His red eyes glowed in his anger. The jagan pulsed as it tried to break the chains that bound any demonic power from being used. At first he was in disbelief at what he saw, but then he saw the tear trickle down her cheek and he knew. His fury multiplied.

Tsuyoi laughed inside. He could sense the angry auras of the three chained to the wall. `Maybe I will postpone my pleasure for a little bit and torture my little miko more.'

“Kagome. Have you made a decision yet. Which one will live.” Kagome's eyes widened. Her gaze swept across the three of them, and the pain in her heart intensified.

`Iie. I can't let them die. I love all three of them.' Her gaze lingered on Hiei. `Even if I'm no longer his mate, I can't let him die. I won't let any of them die.' A scream tore past Tsuyoi's control when she saw his replicas whipping them. Trails of blood decorated their flesh. A pair of golden eyes stared at her in longing and regret. Amber eyes told her to forget him, that he was the taiyoukai and would survive anything. Crimson eyes flashed with anger directed at Tsuyoi. The taiyoukai's once white clothes were stained a deep red; the dark liquid dripped onto the ground. Beside him, his half-brother hanyou was in much worse condition. Had he not been shackled, he could have used blades of blood. A pool of blood was rapidly forming around the three.

All of a sudden something snapped inside of Kagome. She couldn't take the sight of more people dying because of her. A sudden surge of power inside of her knocked Tsyuoi away, shattering his control, the shackles, and Kanna's mirror. Kagome knelt on the bed, her head thrown back in a soundless scream. A white glow surrounded her as an ethereal breeze whipped around the room. A fury stronger than ever poured through her veins as she pictured her friends being hurt and dying because of Tsuyoi. Her miko powers burned with restrained pure energy that bubbled just under the surface. Tsuyoi looked on in barely concealed horror as the purifying energy began to circulate the room. He had seen her two other transformations, but this was by far the most destructive of the three.

A golden sun appeared on her right cheek and a crescent moon on the other. She wore a simple, elegant white dress that seemed to sparkle with the energy surrounding her. When the wind dispersed, Kagome's eyes opened to reveal shining silver orbs. Her gaze focused on Tsuyoi as she turned toward him. “Your evil must be purified.” Her voice was soft and innocent as she said these condemning words. Just as her energy began to build, she fainted.

Tsuyoi stood from his cowered position and smirked. “You thought to defy me miko. You could never overcome my eternal powers! Ku ku ku.” `How in the hells did she transform even when Kanna held most of her soul and I held control of her movements. Not to mention, the shackles placed on her should have restricted any use of magic.' Tsuyoi continued to pretend that he was the cause of Kagome's sudden collapse while his mind struggled to think of how she broke free of him.

Three loud growls greeted Tsuyoi's words, and he turned confidently toward them only to quickly leap back. During the time he had been preoccupied with worry over his imminent death, he failed to notice that Kagome's flare of powers had destroyed the shackled as well as most of his copies. The copies that were left were destroyed by the three angry youkai who now advanced on him.

“This Sesshomaru will not tolerate your insolence.” The mighty taiyoukai's claws shimmered with his green poison that dripped onto the floor, causing it to dissolve. Inuyasha's claws were coated with his blood, preparing him for his attack. The jagan was open on Hiei's head, and his sword was more than ready to slice the enemy to bits. As the three moved in to attack, Tsuyoi threw the unconscious Kagome at them and vanished.

Hiei dropped his sword and caught Kagome in his arms. A concerned and gentle look crossed his face before it became blank. He traced the sun on her right check gently. (She fainted but didn't untransform.) The two inu youkai followed the apparition out the castle, one growling the entire way. Outside the grounds were a mess. Demon parts littered the ground, and blood covered the surroundings like an endless red sea. Their comrades huddled together in the center of the mess.

Sango clutched Miroku's hand to her heart as her tears fell steadily on his chest. Last time she died before him, and this time he died first. “Miroku, why did you leave me. Miroku. Anata no baka. You knew the saimyoushou's poison would kill you, but you still released kazaana.”

Yusuke, his tough-guy façade gone, sobbed over the limp form of Kuwabara. His fist pounded into the ground beside him in his angry sorrow. “Doshite (I think this means why.) Kuwabara. WHY! You idiot! You weren't supposed to die. No.” A sudden thought occurred to him. “The toddler. He'll bring you back. I don't fucking care if he say's no. He's bringing you back. You hear me toddler! I know you're watching!”

Just then Kagome began to stir. Her eyes opened slightly and then sprang wide. “Where's Tsuyoi.” She looked around as her mind cleared and her memory returned. “Oh…Kuwabara…Miroku…Kouga.” She stood from Hiei's grasp and stumbled over to Kouga. “Gomen ne. It's all my fault that you're involved in this battle all over again. Kouga-kun. I'm so sorry.” She looked around again and cried harder. They were dead; all because of her. She shifted her gaze from Shippou's frightened face to Sango's sorrowful one. Tears fell from her still-silver eyes as she saw Yusuke crying over Kuwabara's body. “I'm so sorry.” Her body quaked with the strength of her emotion, and she fell gratefully into Sesshomaru's grasp. Her small hands clutched onto the front of his bloody clothes. “Onii-san.” Kagome murmured quietly and then promptly fainted again.

Inuyasha stood in shock. He couldn't believe they had died.

Hiei cast a glance at his group members and felt a strange emotion well in his chest. `What is this. This can't be compassion for them. Only Kagome, Yukina, and Kurama have ever penetrated my wall. Hn.' He growled when Sesshomaru pulled Kagome into his embrace but relaxed marginally when he reminded himself that they were like siblings.

 

A/N: Okay, so this chapter is a bit messed up. There are grammatical errors everywhere, and the plot is somewhat mixed up. But hey, give me a break. I'm having major writers block, and yet, I've forced out a two-page chapter. As always, review please! Maybe you guys can inspire my dying muse. (No matter how much my muse dies, I'm still going to continue this fic because I hate it when people leave fics unfinished and I'm left waiting futilely for more. ::glances back at sentence:: Kami-sama. I'm just going to stop now since I can't even right a sentence correctly.
