Disclaimer: Forgive me
Jeez… I actually forget all about this … Anyway… Merry Christmas everyone…
Kagome stumbled back in alarm.
"Sess… Sesshoumaru !!!"
The great lord stared down at the panicking girl, his other traveling companion, Jaken strode up to Kagome waving his staff about.
"Oh Lord Sesshoumaru!! That undead priestess...!" Jaken took a step forward towards Kagome while she eyed him warily. "I shall…" Jaken started, waving his staff at her.
"Jaken" Kagome watched as the toad hurried back behind his lord, she looked up at Sesshoumaru again.
Sesshoumaru fixed his cold gaze on Kagome's face, causing her to shrink back even more.
Now I'm dead…
Kagome grimaced and looked down. Arms wrapped around her slender body. Fear causing her fingernails to dig hard into her skin.
He's going to kill me …!!!
Sesshoumaru took a step towards her, the huge boa on his shoulder sweeping the ground as he walked towards her. Rin looked at Kagome in confusion.
Someone help…!!! Anyone!!?
Kagome shut her eyes tight and inhaled deeply. She braced for the impact to follow.
Help me!!! INUYASHA!!!!!
"Goodbye nice lady!!"
Kagome opened her eyes in surprise. She looked up blinking awkwardly.
EH!?
Kagome turned behind staring as Rin waved back to her while tagging behind the great lord with Jaken. She blinked again.
Eh… I'm safe…
Kagome got up shakily, brushing off the dirt from her sleeves and hakama. She turned to Sesshoumaru.
He didn't kill me………
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kikyou woke up with a start, perspiring profusely. She placed a hand over her heart.
A dream… or was that reality…
Kikyou got up, looking around.
They are all asleep…
Hastily, she stepped out of the hut into the darkness. Quickening her pace, she headed for the forest.
"Just where do you think you're going Kagome!" Kikyou turned around meeting Inuyasha's angry gaze from the rooftop.
Inuyasha…
Inuyasha got up and landed beside Kikyou. He fixed her a suspicious look.
"What are you doing out here so late at night?" He folded his arms, waiting for an answer. Kikyou looked down, unable to meet his gaze.
"You never did tell me what happened exactly…" Inuyasha took a step towards her. Kikyou blinked, looking up at him.
"Inuyasha…?"
"Oh quit pretending already! You told me…!! You …said… You told me that you're Kikikiki…kyo…" Inuyasha trailed off, lowering his gaze slightly.
"Inuyasha… Please do not take those words too seriously. Leave me alone for awhile, I need to do something." Inuyasha shook his head.
"No! Till you tell me what that means… I won't let you go!" Kikyou looked at Inuyasha. She gasped.
Those eyes… they hold a defiant… almost determined look… just like that time…50 years ago…
Kikyou sighed. She looked down.
"Inuyasha…"
"Kagome…"
Looking up and fixing her eyes on his, she spoke regretfully.
"I'm sorry…"
Inuyasha blinked. "Kagome?"
"Sit"
Inuyasha slammed facefirst into the ground hard while Kikyou took off running into the woods.
KAGOME !!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome turned around, concern clearly written on her face. She placed a hand on her chest, her heart beating wildly .
"Kikyou sama. What's wrong?" Rin turned to look at her. Kagome stopped.
"Uh. Nothing." Kagome forced a smile and turned to Rin.
For a second… I thought I heard Inuyasha called out…
Kagome turned to Sesshoumaru. The great lord was standing tall at the cliff, the night breeze blowing his hair back.
I can't believe he hasn't killed me yet for tagging along…
Kagome turned and gasped as the soul collectors turned and float away from her
Eh!? How come… Don't tell me…
Kikyou…is nearby!?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kikyou stood at the edge of the river. She held up a hand as a soul collector came landing on it.
Hmm… so that incarnation of mine is traveling with Inuyasha's brother now… The dream… is true after all
Stroking the soul collector, Kikyou sat down on the river edge, gazing at her reflection.
I need to return to my original form… fast… Someone has to stop Naraku… and it can only be me…
Kikyou got up as a sudden rustling sound came from behind her. She turned in shock.
"Kagome… what… How on earth…" Placing a hand over her heart, Kikyou took a step backwards as Inuyasha advanced, eyes widened as he stared at the soul collectors swarming around her.
"Kagome… don't tell me… You are actually Kikyou…!?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Priestess…" Kagome turned to Sesshoumaru, alarmed.
"Yes…?"
"You're not her, aren't you." Kagome blinked in confusion.
"Her?"
Sesshoumaru looked up at the moon, the wind picking up around him, hitting hard against Kagome. She pushed her long flowing hair back. Sesshoumaru turned his head towards Kagome, slowly.
"You're not that undead priestess…"
