Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of it's characters. I own the plot however and the only payment received is those great reviews! |
A/N: Welcome to my third installment of this story. I can assure you that it can only get more intense from this point on. Please Review to show some support for starving writers like myself :D And a special 'Thank You' to Bertabee1 for the review about the last chapters error. It was extremely helpful! As always, I do not own Inuyasha, cause if I did, let's just be real, I wouldn't be waisting my time WRITING about those smutt-tacular scenes! I'd be living it!
**************************Chapter 3 –Betrayal*********************************Darkness began to set, and they all were inside of the hut finishing up their meal. Kagome was wondering if she should go talk to her mother today or the next day. She wasn’t the least bit tired, but she knew better than to go off at night without any of her powers in her weakened state. She would under normal circumstances be fine, but in this weakened state regardless of her battle prowess she could be easily defeated. After an internal battle her, she decided to bypass her instincts and go tonight to see her family as soon as she was done with her stew.
Even though her subconscious was throwing up caution signs, she wanted to talk to her mom. She needed the comfort. She was feeling nervous all night, but could not understand why. It wasn’t because of the information that Midoriko had given her, no. It felt as if something were going to happen. Shaking it off she decided that it was just nerves. She was just used to Naraku coming out of nowhere and destroying their peace. No, there was nothing to be anxious about.
She gathered all of her things to take with her so that she could restock on supplies for everyone. Sure, she didn’t really need to stay in the feudal era anymore, but she was so used to it that she wasn’t sure that she would ever be able to live in her time anymore. She was 21 years old, barely graduated high school, and had pretty much alienated herself from everyone she used to know other than her family. They were the only reason why she even went back. None-the-less, she needed to tell her mom about this situation and soon before it drove her crazy.After saying her goodbyes to everyone, she decided to make for the well as soon as possible. Much to her surprise it seemed as if the Shikon was already beginning to change her. She wasn’t having any trouble seeing even though it was supposed to be dark as she walked through the forest. It even seemed like she could hear the individual leaves hit against each other through the breeze. The hypersensitive senses seemed like the first part of her powers to make themselves known.Walking to the Tree of Ages always helped to calm her nerves, so she decided to make a detour there before she went to home. She stood there for a while gathering her thoughts. She still hadn’t told anyone about this because her mother should be the first one to know. She always was. Her mother meant the world to her, and without her she would not be who she was. After making herself a promise to tell everyone else as soon as she returned, she took up her bearings and began to walk once more. She was halfway to the well when she heard a shuffling sound coming from the direction that she was heading. Kagome slowed down and pulled out a Sai blade from her right thigh. Her bow was destroyed during the battle, so all she had were her blades. The sounds got closer and she drew out the other blade and set her bag down getting ready to fight.
‘Can’t a girl just get to the well without being bothered? Ugh, I have SO had enough of this day! I just want to go see mama and have some oden, is that too much to ask!’
“Who’s out there?” she said in a don’t-fuck-with-me-right-now tone.
“Who the hell do you think it is? Dumbass.”
“Baka Inuyasha! I was getting ready to kill you! Where have you been anyways?” she said starting to drop her defensive stance. Her instincts clamored at her to raise them up again as she had one last thought.
‘Why could I not sense you coming?’ she followed up mentally.
“I had some stuff to take care of…” he said looking down at the floor.
“…ok. So, no more Naraku. I can’t believe we finally did it. It’s been so long you know.” She smiled at him. Even though she could not sense his aura, she could feel Kikyo’s aura almost smothering him. She could almost even smell a hint of dirt. Something was different about him though. Something she couldn’t quite put her finger on. It was as if something was missing…
“Um, Inuyasha, where are your subjugation beads at? They aren’t on your neck...”
She also noticed that he was missing another important piece of his usual attire.
”…and where is Tetseiga?”
He began to walk towards her slowly, and almost menacingly. He stood in front of her before he began to talk.
“Kikyo got rid of the beads for me, and I didn’t feel like carrying that piece of rust.”
“Inuyasha! Don’t talk about your father’s sword like that. It is after all a piece of him, and we wouldn’t be alive without it.”
“I don’t give a shit. It’s worthless to me. I don’t need it anymore.”
Something was definitely off. He was not acting like himself at all. He was acting more arrogant than usual and his stance in front of her almost looked like it did back when he used to try to kill her. Figuring that he was just feeling invincible because of Naraku’s defeat, she decided to talk some sense into him.
“What do you mean you don’t need it? Don’t you remember what could happen if you don’t carry it with you!”
“Don’t fucking yell at me bitch!” He screamed at her as he grabbed her shoulders.
“You need to let me go right now Inuyasha! Don’t you dare grab me! Get your paws off! SIT”
Only this time nothing happened. He grinned at her and began to squeeze her shoulders so hard that he was breaking skin. She just stared up into his eyes looking for an answer to his actions. What she saw in them however, was nothing short of her worst fears come to life.
“That shit don’t work anymore wench. Look, I know I told ya that I was gonna pick you, but the truth is that I never even intended to do that. I knew that you were fucking helpless and weak compared to my mate Kikyo. She is strong and can actually take care of herself. You are just a sad and pathetic replacement. You aren’t as beautiful as she is, as smart as she is, and you’re just fucking useless. You make me sick, and the fact that you hold her soul makes my stomach crawl. So with that in mind, give me the jewel. I don’t feel like killing you painfully, but don’t tempt me ‘cause I will.”
Instantly she felt a twisting sickness in the pit of her stomach after the first sentence. Still, she was at a loss for words. How could he do this to her, didn’t he love her? No, it was all a lie. He lied to her. All of it was never real. He never loved her. He loved Kikyo. When he looked at her he saw the undead priestess. Never her. Never Kagome.
‘Mate…that means…no wonder he smells so much like her. But why, Inuyasha? Why did you hurt me like this? After all I did and gave up for you, this is how you treat me. Now here you are, standing before me demanding the Shikon and…and …WAIT did he just say he was going to kill me?!’
“Why are you talking about killing me?! I can guess why you would want the jewel now but why do you want me dead!?” she nervously asked as his grip on her shoulders became more firm and blood began to trickle down her arms. He grinned as he began to smell the fear rolling off her in waves.
“Why do you think wench? You carry the rest of my mate’s soul. When you die, she will have it back again. Simple as that.”
“Why are you doing this? How could you be so cruel Inuyasha?!”
“Shut the fuck up and hand over the jewel!” He growled at her and slapped her across the face leaving four bleeding scratches across it. The force of the hit caused her to crash down to the ground. At that moment she knew what her apprehension was earlier. It was like she could sense that something bad was going to happen and she was unfortunately right. She should have left sooner. She should have not left at all. No time to dwell on that anymore however. She needed to get to the village and fast. Sensing him closing in on her again she lashed out with her sai blades landing two slashes on him, one across hand that was positioned to grab her and the other going across his chest, both of them drawing blood. As he leaned back he hissed with pain and launched at her, trying to choke the life out of her. She kicked her leg out and swiped it under his feet causing him to fall and then sprinted back toward the hut.
There was no way she was going to lead him back to her family beyond the well. She knew that he was rapidly changing into his more demonic form and would catch up to her soon enough. Already she was wearing out from the run, and cursed her body for being so weak. She didn’t get very far by the time the crazed hanyo caught up to her. He was in his full demon form now and was not happy about being sliced by her blades. He grabbed her by the hair and pulled her backwards until she met the ground. She spun around and sliced the forearm that held onto her hair followed by his right inner thigh. He growled and yanked the blade from her right hand and slashed at her ribcage, leaving deep gashes. He slapped her again with the back of his hand this time, flinging her into a nearby tree. She saw him advance on her position again and threw the blade at him. It pierced his shoulder right above his heart but he showed no sign that it hurt him at all.
Inuyasha was completely out of control. She had no spiritual powers, and her strength was at a dangerous low. She tied to punch him but he gripped her fist and didn’t let go until he heard her bones crack under the pressure of his hold. She screamed and used her other hand to claw at his eyes. He howled as her fingers entered into his eye socket and let her go. Her left hand was broken in several places, but she ignored the pain as she used both hands to try to pull out the sai that was sticking out of his shoulder. He kicked her knee in before she could get the blade out, and she screamed again as she hit the floor. He lashed out at her again, but she ducked, barely missing his claws that were aimed at her neck.
She found the other sai on the ground and stabbed him in the right thigh, twisting the thin metal in his flesh. He howled again and kicked her in he chest with his other foot. It began to rain as she tried to crawl away. Hoping that he would be less mobile since she severed his femoral artery. She attempted to go as fast as she could to get away from him. Unfortunately he was in a blood rage and couldn’t feel anything but the desire to kill her. Limping to her location, he began to kick her in the ribs on the right side where her wounds were. She couldn’t breath as he began to thrash her body around. He was repeatedly throwing her into trees, kicking her and slashing at entire body. Kagome was like a rag doll being tossed around the forest floor.
When she finally stopped moving and responding to his attacks, his beast quieted down and let them continue with their plan. He began to search her tattered clothing for the Shikon no Tama, and when he realized that she did not have it on her, he started to shout and curse. The hanyo guessed that she had already made a wish on it, and decided that it was better to have one objective met than none. He looked down and studied her for a moment before he mentally pronounced her dead.
All her thoughts were clouded by red. She saw as it glossily formed around her. She felt it, crushing with every hit she took. She even tasted it, sweetly metallic in her mouth. No longer could she crawl away; most of her bones were broken. She couldn’t even scream anymore, but wasn’t sure if it was because she screamed so much, or because her lungs were filling with blood. The only blessing she had was that after all of the torture she was finally going numb. She could faintly feel the rain as it poured down and landed upon her beaten frame. She barely heard the water assaulting the ground around her. She could no longer even see the face that was leaning over her mangled body.
‘I guess this is it then. No savior this time. I am so stupid. I should have known that it would end this way. I should have waited until I was whole. Now I have forced the hand of destiny and ruined its plans. How could he do this? I thought that he really loved me. After everything, I still wasn’t enough. I should have known. Even so, I feel so betrayed. How could I let this happen? At least Shippo won’t have to see me like this. I know Sango and Miroku will take care of him. Gramps and Sota will just think that the well closed, and won’t panic too much. No more fear, Kagome. No more hurt, no more sorrow. Remember their love. Remember their love for me. I will remember love as the last emotion in this life. Love. Goodbye, Mama. I love you.’ As the forest closed in around her the red soon faded into black, claiming all that was there, including the young woman, Kagome Higurashi.Turning away, he smiled. Finally she was out of the picture, and now he could live a long and full life with his true mate. Now, how was he going to explain to Kikyo that the Shikon no Tama was gone? She was going to be happy that this bitch was dead, but was going to be pissed that the jewel is gone.‘It doesn’t matter. We might not be able to wish her body to become alive again, but there are other ways of doing that. There has to be. Shit, I better get back and away from here before someone see’s me. And before demons start to get lured here from the scent of blood.’
Turning on his heel, he checked Kagome one last time to make sure that she was dead. Satisfied that he could hear no pulse, he turned on his heel and walked deeper into the forest. Soon he was completely swallowed by the dark trees, and the only thing that was left in the clearing were two bloodied sai and a completely quiet and motionless body, seemingly lifeless as she lay face down with her hands reaching out for help that would never come.********************************************A/N: Pretty intense right?
