A/N: Hey guys! Well, I know you are
all shocked to hear from me as two or three months have not gone by but this
chapter just flowed so smoothly. Once again, no big lemon
scene. Sorry about that! Review and tell me what you thought! (DarkAvenger, I don�t have to worry about you on that score�)
The song I wrote this chapter in mind with is �Hurt� by Johnny Cash, first done
by the incredible Nine Inch Nails whose version of the song is also fabulous. However,
for the true angst factor, no one beats the Cash version. Listen to it- it�ll
send chills up your spine.
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy!

Chapter Seven:
Hurt
Kagome trudged
home from school, her feet seemingly connected to the concrete. Inuyasha�s
hurtful words kept on playing over and over in her mind. Perhaps if this was
the first time he had said something like this, she could have brushed it off. However,
there were many other occasions, too many, Inuyasha had snapped and bluntly
told her that he was involved mainly for the sex. Kagome shuddered. No matter
how many times it happened, it hurt as strongly as the first time. Kagome
sighed deeply, a memory assaulting her.
*********** 2 Years Earlier *************
Kagome collapsed
on Inuyasha�s chest, sweaty, exhausted and sated. Inuyasha was panting happily,
arms spread wide.
Sex, she thought with a silent giggle, was not overrated at all. The past six
months had completely vindicated her modern era�s preoccupation with any type
of sex.
�You�re
comfortable,� Kagome whispered as she nuzzled her nose into the crook of
Inuyasha�s neck. His body did a strange jerk and Kagome giggled out loud.
�Are you
ticklish there?� she asked mischievously. Her nose went straight back to the
crook and she rubbed his skin enthusiastically.
Inuyasha squirmed and cursed. �No I am not ticklish!� he spat out. �Just, just get off!�
He growled ferociously and Kagome only laughed harder.
�I love it when
you do that!� she confided.

Kagome kept on snuggling tighter against him, her nose never leaving the
sensitive juncture between shoulder and throat. �Get off!!� Inuyasha shouted.
With a fraction of his strength, Inuyasha shoved Kagome off.
�You know,
you�ve been shoving me a lot recently,� Kagome muttered as she glared at the hanyou. �Plus, I�m sweaty and naked and now there�s a ton
of dirt all over me.�
�Gee, I�m
sorry!� Inuyasha said sarcastically. Jumping up he rushed around, grabbing his
cloths hurriedly and pushing himself into them.
�Inuyasha�?�
Kagome asked curiously, �are you all right?�
�No!� Inuyasha
spat out. �I am not all right and neither are you!�
�What�s that
supposed to mean?� Kagome huffed, now also trying to dress.
�I thought we
discussed this,� Inuyasha said finally, not looking into her blue eyes. �I
thought we decided to not...to not put emotion in.�
Kagome stared at
him in shock. �I thought�I thought you�.love me.�
Inuyasha paced,
careful to not glance in Kagome�s direction. �I do,� he admitted after a few
minutes passed. �It�s just�I don�t want to touch you�that way.�
Kagome glared
and breathed heavily through her nose, trying to remain calm. �What is that
supposed to mean?� she asked, aware her voice was harsher then usual yet again.
Inuyasha turned his head away, thick bangs blocking her view of his expressive
eyes. Partly desperate and partly furious, Kagome yanked on a triangular ear
hard. �Answer me!� she shouted, feeling hurt overwhelming her control. �What do
you mean you don�t want love when we touch?�
�Bitch, stop
it!� Inuyasha bellowed, slapping her hand away from his sensitive appendages.
�I meant that!�
�Well, explain
�that� because I have no idea what you�re talking about!� Kagome replied,
absentmindedly rubbing her aching hand.
Inuyasha
scowled. �Do I have to?� he asked belligerently. �I�ve talked more lately then
I ever have before.�
�You�re also
getting more sex then you ever did before so just call it an even trade,�
Kagome sniped. �Now talk.�
Knowing she was
right did not make it any easier. �Shit,� he mumbled with heat. �I don�t like
all the touching and stuff-�
�I know that! I
need you to clarify!� Kagome interrupted.
�Shut up!� Inuyasha
shouted, whirling on her. �Just let me
fucking talk!�
Kagome nodded
slowly, a little frightened by his vehemence. Inuyasha hide his eyes again and
tried to ignore the sexual feelings her fear aroused in him. Unhappy and unsure
of what to say, Inuyasha continued to pace.
�I do, I do�you
know,� Inuyasha said, blushing and unable to say the words.
Kagome sighed in irritation. �No, I don�t
know. Explain.�
Inuyasha glared.
�Sure, make this harder then it has to be. Why the hell not?�
He swallowed. �I do�I do�.I�.Iloveyou.� He exhaled a
deep sigh, terribly relieved the words had been said. �I do but recently you�ve
been touching me way too much. You never used to,� he accused. �It�s like the
fact that we�re fucking gives you the right to touch me whenever you want to.�
Kagome drew
back, settling onto her knees. �The fact that we�re having sex doesn�t mean I can
touch you�.?�

�Yes,� Inuyasha said, relieved she understood. �All that stroking and patting
after fucking�I can�t do it.�

�So no snuggling?� Kagome leaned back onto her elbows.
�Is that all?� She laughed. What a silly thing to get so mad about!
Inuyasha
growled. �It�s more then the snuggling. I don�t want the sex to mean anything.�
Kagome stopped
smiling. �You admitted you love me, I�ve said I love you. How can the sex not mean something?�
Inuyasha ran a
hand through his hair. �I know it makes no sense. I just don�t like it.�
�The sex?�

�No, that�s the best part of all this,� Inuyasha said carelessly. �I
mean, I never would have said that I loved you if I wouldn�t have gotten the
sex in the bargain.�
Kagome felt the
world slowly grind to a halt. ��What?�
Inuyasha
shrugged. �Why else would I have said it?�

�Because you love me!� Kagome sputtered.
�So?�
Kagome stared at
Inuyasha. He met her eyes easily, with no reservations or embarrassment. He has no idea! She thought
incredulously. No idea at all!
�If you love
someone, you tell them,� Kagome said slowly.
�You don�t have
to,� Inuyasha replied sensibly.
Kagome
sputtered, fighting for words. �But, but, I mean- of course you do!!�
�No,� Inuyasha
disagreed. �You don�t. Everything in life is a barter- you give something and
get something back in exchange. I never would have said I loved you if I was
going to get nothing back.�
Kagome stumbled
to her feet. �Meaning that if I wouldn�t have slept with you, you never would
have said anything?�
Inuyasha thought
for a moment, the audacity of his speech becoming uncomfortably clear to him.
�Um, yeah,� he admitted with a sigh.
�You jerk!�
Kagome shouted and reacted on instinct. The sound of her hand cracking against
his cheek reverberated through the cave.
Inuyasha rubbed
his face thoughtfully. �I kind of deserved that,� he admitted softly. Kagome,
panting and struggling not to cry again, nodded in a jerking motion. �Did it just
come out wrong?� she asked hesitantly and hopefully.
Inuyasha shook
his head slowly. �I told you I wasn�t ready��
�Shut up,�
Kagome snapped as she stormed from the cave. �I�m not talking to you!!�

�Still?� retorted Inuyasha as he walked behind her, his arms firmly folded into
his sleeves.
�Shut up!� Stumbling
out of the cave that housed their illicit affair, Kagome forced herself into a
quick march. �Don�t you dare follow me!� she shouted over her shoulder.
�I wasn�t
planning on it!� Inuyasha yelled back, leaping away quickly.
Kagome began to
run until she couldn�t run any farther, a stitch piercing her side. I can�t believe he said that, she
thought for the thousandth time. Doesn�t
he understand how horrible that was? Kneeling on the ground, she placed her
head onto the tree trunk behind her with a thunk. I hate my life�
�It will soon
get much worse,� came the quiet comment. Kagome sat up
abruptly and looked around, seeing no one but knowing the voice intimately. It
was hers but deeper.
�Kikyou? Where are you?� the modern school girl called out. �I
know you�re out here! You obviously have something to say so hiding is
ridiculous!�
�Well look who
has developed a temper�,� an amused voice said. From the surrounding trees, a
ghostly figure of a reincarnated shrine maiden emerged. Kikyou was flawlessly
attired as usual, her white shirt sparkling and her pants perfectly clean with
the one neat crease down the middle. Her black hair was shiny and healthy,
neatly arranged in a ponytail that ended past her waist. Brown eyes looked down
at their reincarnation. �I still cannot believe you were such a fool.�
Kagome looked up
at the dead version of herself. �What do you want? Last time I saw you, you
were insulting Inuyasha and decided to leave forever.�
�Silly child,� sighed Kikyou. �Why did you have to have relations with him?�
�I wanted to,� Kagome
answered bitingly. �Girls in my time tend to do it whenever they want.�
�He told you he
loved you,� Kikyou intuited from Kagome�s bluster. The younger woman deflated
under the knowing eyes of her older self.
�Yeah,� she
admitted with a sigh. �And I believed him.�
�He was not
lying to you,� Kikyou said softly and firmly. �He does�love you.�
�No, he loves
sex,� whispered Kagome as she rested her head on her knees in shame.
�A man such as
Inuyasha does not have relations without love. He loves you,� Kikyou insisted
in her usual calm tone.
�He said that he
only admitted he loved me so that he could have sex.�
�You are so
young�� murmured Kikyou.
Kagome bit her
lip and asked a question. �How did you know? About he and I?�
�My heart hurt
suddenly�� Kikyou answered quietly. �I am a spiritual person and am sensitive
to the fluctuations in emotions of those I hold close to me. Thus, when I felt
his happiness with another woman, my heart ached�and I knew it could only be
from one deed.� Kikyou�s wise brown eyes looked at
Kagome�s pink cheeks and downcast eyes and could not resist smiling. �It is all
right. I have been waiting for this.�
Kagome�s head
shot up and she stared at Kikyou incredulously. �What?�
�Everyone has
their destiny. Mine was to be what I�ve become- a soulless shell of a woman,�
Kikyou said, each word weighed and carefully released. �You still have a chance
with him�with happiness. Grab what you can. Everything else will work itself
out.�
Kagome stared at
Kikyou. She sounds as if she still�! �But
all those cruel things you said�� the schoolgirl whispered, terribly confused.
�Should he go on
loving a woman made from clay and graveyard soul?� Kikyou asked rhetorically. �I
set him free..� Her back straight and tall, her chin
up and her eyes resolute, Kikyou admitted to her future self her last remaining
secret. �You see, I am quite in love with Inuyasha. He made me smile when no
one else could. He still does.� The priestess looked at Kagome sadly. �I�d give
almost anything to see him smile at me with that old unconditional love. Yet he
never shall and I know this. It is my fate.� Getting up, Kikyou picked up her
bow and arrows, settling them against her hip. �I gave him away because I love
him. All I want is for him to be happy�he cannot be happy with a dead woman.
Because I love him as much as I do, because I know him so well and understand him
as I do, I gave him away. His honor and loyalty are unconditional but he is
torn between one who is living and one who is dead. I would not have him suffer
simply so I could be happy.�
Kagome looked up
at her predecessor and saw the true Kikyou for the first time. She was a magnificent
woman, strong and powerful in not just her Powers but in her heart and will. �You
awe me,� Kagome admitted. �I couldn�t do what you did.�
�You�ve been
doing it for years,� contradicted Kikyou with a sad smile. �I suppose we truly
are the same woman.�
Kagome smiled
and nodded ruefully. �Yep. Two sides of the same coin.�
�I have
something to give back to you,� Kikyou said suddenly, her voice loud and
suddenly jarring.
Kagome�s
confusion plainly showed on her expressive face.
�Sweet innocent
girl, do you not remember?� the priestess chided. �You truly are a fool.�
Leaning down Kikyou
softly pressed her lips against Kagome�s. Frozen with shock, Kagome could only
watch as a glowing light drifted from Kikyou and settled into her own chest.
The cavity that held her heart suddenly felt as if it was weighed down by a
great burden and Kagome realized the full import of what Kikyou had done.
�My soul,�
breathed the schoolgirl in a gasp.
�Your soul is
returning to its full measure now,� Kikyou announced softly. �Be very careful
with it.�
�I will,� Kagome
said, hand touching her chest gently as the bursts of
light increased in intensity. With a muted groan, Kikyou fell to the floor,
gasping in pain as she started the reversion to dirt and bones.
�Grant me a
boon,� requested the dying woman softly, her hand clutching Kagome�s. Her face
was already losing its animation, her eyes fixed on nothingness and her lips
barely moving.
Blue eyes met
brown. �Sure,� Kagome agreed as she stroked the rapidly cooling hand in hers.
�Do no tell him
when I am gone.�
�What? Why?�
Kagome asked. �Doesn�t he have the right to know?�
�No, it is better he go on in ignorance. Then
he will not mourn. I do not wish him to be unhappy.� Kikyou spasmed
as the last of her stolen souls flowed away. �Remember Kagome, you and I are
one person. We are one and the same�Fate is unkind��
�I know,� Kagome
answered but she replied to no one.
Kikyou�s body weighed heavily in her reincarnations arms and,
as the girl slowly lowered the clay body to the ground, it disintegrated completely.
�All we are is
dust in the wind�� Kagome sang softly as Kikyou�s
ashes were set free to roam the world. �Dust in the wind�.�
**************
Inuyasha paced.
Where the hell is she? It�s fully dark and I
can�t sense her anywhere! He thought worriedly. What if demon
got her or she broke her leg in some weird place or-
Suddenly, her
scent was in the air as if it had never left. Moving as fast as possible,
Inuyasha found his missing woman. �Kagome!� he called out, nerves evaporating
as she came into view, whole and healthy. �Where the hell have you been??� he demanded,
grabbing her shoulders.
Her big blue
grey eyes were red rimmed and Inuyasha could feel his heart being squeezed in
his chest. She hates me, he thought miserably. She hates me but I can�t take back what I
said.
He was thus
quite shocked when she leaned into his touch and wrapped her arms around his
torso, hugging him tightly.
�I�m sorry,� he
heard her say quietly. �I shouldn�t have pressured you into something you weren�t
ready for yet.�
�Kagome�,� he
trailed off, unable to get the words out.
�I know,� the
small girl said, sparring him the verbal struggle. �I
know.� She hugged him tighter for one moment and then released him gently. �I�ll
take what I can get,� Kagome said with a sad smile as she looked into his
golden eyes. �I always have.�
�I-� Inuyasha
blurted out, trying to find something to say.
Kagome shushed
him and drew his mouth down to hers. With a sad groan he accepted what she was
offering.
�We shouldn�t be
doing this with all the rest of this shit between us,� he whispered before lust
overtook his senses completely.
�We shouldn�t be
doing this,� Kagome agreed between kisses. �But let�s live for the now and hope
that the rest will work itself out.�
�We�re being
foolish,� Inuyasha mumbled as he undressed her.
�I know.�
Bodies on fire
with lust, Inuyasha and Kagome�s brains emptied of anything beyond the extreme
sensations ricocheting through their bodies. It was a glorious, feeling nothing
beyond the present. It was a wonder and Kagome finally understood why people
killed for sex. It was not the emotions involved but rather the lack of all
emotion but one that made it so extraordinary.
Afterwards she
was the one to roll away first.

A/N: Well, how did you guys like Kikyou�s dying scene? I am quite nervous about it. The
story is officially half way through now and, barring all unforeseen plot
developments, should be done in about five-seven chapters. Review please! I
want feedback!
