Families CAN Be Replaceable
Kyou- The last chapter (and this one) where pre-writen. I didn't go over spell check again. Sorry. I meant to spell the Tetsusaiga right... but not Kilala. The problem is I don't have Yahoo. Just AOL IM so that would be the problem. Too bad. I feel so loved that you would spend so long reading my work! Thanks so much!
DarkPirate-510- It was a farm camp! Isn't that cool? Here's the next chapter. Hope you like it.
Dragon Man 180- Hmm. Beat up Jaken? Shoot. That would have been a good idea. I love when Jaken gets beat up. It's so funny!
ZeldaAlly- You could sort of say Mikoto saves Kyo. Well what are you waiting for? READ! Come on! Answer you own question!
Chiichobi- Shesshy's my favorite too! Here's the next chapter!
LiL:.CaT:.Anime- You like the attack name? Cool! You don't know how long it took me to make it up. -.-;
Heart of Friendship- I did spell the Tetsusaiga wrong. Sorry. I did have fun at camp!
Cirrus, The pheonix of life- Well if I'm killing you then go on and read!
If you're wondering why I haven't indented lately, there's something wrong with and it won't let me. It's annoying me.
What happened next was the strangest thing that had ever happened to me. I closed my eyes, wondering if sleep would ease the pain of Sesshoumaru's poison running through my body. When no sleep came, I opened my eyes only to find myself looking down at my body. I was floating in mid air! In a sudden moment of panic I realized I was dead. I was waiting outside of my body in my true form, a soul, for the Soul Piper. I was young enough still.
Calming down a little at the thought of help crossing over, I looked down at myself again. My body didn't look so good. I had scratches all over from hitting the tree and falling to the ground. There were five green marks on my neck from where Sesshoumaru's nails had cut into my flesh. Surprisingly enough they were all starting to heal.
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were still fighting. There was a cut across Sesshoumaru's face, but that's all. Inuyasha was much worse off. The little imp was still cheering for his master on the side lines. He reminded me of some sort of demented cheerleader. The girl, Rin, was not in her hiding spot anymore. I looked around. She was so innocent, it would kill me again to see her hurt. Finding her was my first priority.
There was a noise below me. I looked down and saw Rin kneeling next to my lifeless body, sobbing. Getting the hang of floating around, I went down and touched her gently on the shoulder. Rin turned to me, but looked strait through me. Wishing as hard as I could, I begged to the gods to be visible, just to Rin. I touched her again. This time she saw me.
"Don't cry." I told her with a small smile, "It makes me sad." "But Sesshoumaru-sama hurt you!" she cried. "I feel no pain." I said putting on a wider smile, "Did he really hurt me?" Rin laughed a bit but it turned into a sob. She started looking around. I guess she couldn't see me anymore.
The fight ended. Sesshoumaru just walked away. "Come, Rin." he said, "We're going." Rin took a last look at my body and hurried after her protector. Inuyasha ran over to me. He shook me gently. Of course there was no response.
Inuyasha jumped up and yelled. For a moment it seemed like he was going to run after Sesshoumaru and start another fight, but instead he picked my body up and slung it over his shoulder. It really freaked me out to see me as a dead body. I followed Inuyasha back to the village. To tell you the truth, floating is pretty fun. You should try it when you die.
Kagome was the first one to spot Inuyasha. The group had moved outside. They were sitting on the grass in a circle. Sango was petting Kilala and Taoa. Miroku was muttering over some scrolls. Kaede was putting some dried herbs in a basket and Kagome was doing her homework. "Did you-" she stopped when she saw me. "He killed her." Inuyasha whispered in a hollow tone, "The son of a bitch KILLED HER!"
"How?!" Sango asked. Miroku took my body from Inuyasha. "Kyo made a noise in the bushes. Sesshoumaru heard her and went after her. I got his attention away from Kyo. If she had run then she would have still been alive. But Sesshoumaru got me by the neck. Of course there's that damn poison in his claws. Kyo, she learned her first attack. Used it to get Sesshoumaru to drop me. Sesshoumaru went after her instead. Got her by the neck. He gave Kyo poison and threw her against a tree. She died. WHY THE HELL DID YOU LET HER GO AFTER ME?!"
"She insisted." Kagome said rubbing away a tear, "Kyo wanted to be there so that she could get help if Sesshoumaru hurt you badly. She was only thinking of you." Kagome began to cry for real. Shippo joined her.
"We should get the funeral over with." Miroku said grimly, "Gather fire wood. Ashes sound better than leaving her as a corpse. She died a heroic death." The group nodded saddly and got up, ready to gather fire wood. Only Kaede stayed to watch over my body that Miroku had laid on the ground gently.
The funeral began only a little more than an hour later. I had floated around, watching Inuyasha and the others gather fire wood. For another few minutes I watched Kaede instruct a bunch of village men to dig a grave next to the one for a woman named 'Kikyo'. She then instructed another man to make a monument for me. It would read, 'Here lies Kyo, the young cat hanyou. Her love of others lead her to death.'
Just before the funeral was to begin, I watched as Inuyasha hoisted my body up onto a large pile of wood and sticks. I would not enjoy watching myself burn. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Mikoto entered the village. Now I have to saw that he was very much like Sesshoumaru himself. Maybe that was why Inuyasha didn't like him. There was no sign of emotion on his face, just like Sesshoumaru. I could tell that he knew what was going on.
"How did this happen?" he asked Kagome. "Kyo protect Inuyasha from Lord Sesshoumaru and paid with her life." she replied, "Who are you?" "That's Mikoto." Inuyasha said walking over, "And he doesn't look upset at all. What the hell's with that. Kyo was your future mate." "Be upset, if you want." Mikoto said shrugging, "I will watch the burning, but you will see what happens."
He was good to his word. Miroku said a few words about me. Then a few prayers. He handed Inuyasha the torch that would be used to light the wood under me. He walked up. I closed my eyes. I really didn't want to see my body go up in flames, but then again, maybe the reality would help me cross over. I opened my eyes again. I was looking up at the blue sky. Inuyasha was approaching with a torch. The thing I was on was awfully hard and scratchy. Like sleeping on sticks.
Inuyasha was about to light it on fire. I screamed and rolled off. He yelled and jumped back, dropping the torch. Luckily the flame was smothered and went out. Mikoto laughed. And I stood up. I didn't know how, but I was alive again.
"How?" Kagome asked Mikoto who was standing next to her. "Do you need reminding that cats have nine lives?" he asked and continued to laugh. I laughed with him. "Why you-" Inuyasha started. He jumped at me. I easily avoided him and continued to laugh.
The End
Clear Waters: Well I hope you liked the ending more than the ending of Well, Whoops!
Inuyasha: That's it? That's the end?
Clear Waters: Well I do have a sequeal ready.
Kagome: Yeah!
Sango: I can't wait to find out the rest of Kyo's story.
Shippo: Kyo's lucky. She's got nine lives.
Clear Waters: Now she has eight. She used one.
Shippo: Yeah, but still she had nine lives.
Clear Waters: True.
Miroku: I wish I had nine lives. Then I wouldn't have to worry about the Wind Tunnel sucking me in.
Inuyasha: I don't need nine lives. Unlike the rest of you, I can manage to keep myself alive without help.
Kagome: Right.
Inuyasha: What the hell is that supposed the mean?!
Kagome: Never mind.
Inuyasha: Tell me!
Kagome: No.
Inuyasha: Yes!
Kagome: NO!
Inuyasha: YES BITCH!
Kagome: SIT!
Clear Waters: Ouch. Once again another hole in my floor. Joy. R&R everyone. {Leans over hole.} Hey Inuyasha! You're paying for this one.
Inuyasha: Damn.
