Hi-Ya! How are you? I'm feeling like... I'm not going to continue that sentence. Hmm... I thought there would be some fighting in this chapter... but it didn't turn out like that, unfortunately. Well... I hope you'll enjoy it! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Too Much Chapter four, Meeting again Kagome put on her new armor, her old self would never had been able to carry the weight... but now she was. It fit her perfectly and so did her new clothes. She watched her reflection in the water and smiled widely. Sesshou-Maru had also brought her a sword, a normal sword. Kagome raised her sword and saw it glimmer in the sun light. It was a beautiful work... whoever made it must have been a genius... and since it was Sesshou-Maru who got it for her... probably a DEAD genius. Sesshou-Maru had absolutely NO respect for other lives, she did, but only for some special lives. She would never start killing children for no reason, children... was special. She sighed... and then she sheathed her sword and turned around. "I'm ready" She said. Sesshou-Maru nodded. "First we'll have to find them... we don't need a plan" He said. "No... I guess not..." she replied and jumped over the lake, Sesshou-Maru behind her. They let Kagome try to find them since she could feel the Shikon fragments... it shouldn't be too hard. The group were walking down the road, oblivious about what was about to happen. "I can feel it!" Kagome said and started running a little faster. "We don't have to hurry" Sesshou-Maru said calmly "We don't want to wear ourselves out before the match, do we?" Kagome was quiet for a moment "We'll win anyway" "Don't you think it's become a little cloudy?" Sango asked and turned to Miroku. "Hmm... yes, just a few minutes ago the sky was clear" Sesshou-Maru grabbed Kagome's hand to stop her. She jerked around and glared at him "What?" She said, her eyes burning with fury. "It's not good to be overconfident" He said and looked her straight into her eyes. He held her hand real hard, almost hard enough to hurt her... if she were still a human... her hand would have been crushed by now. "My overconfidence what was made me lose against my brother, always expect the unexpected is the one thing I've learned of this whole thing" She nodded her head in understanding. "Fine... what should we do then?" She asked and pulled her hand free. "We should sneak up on them" He said "And then surprise them..." An evil grin appeared on his face. "Everybody, stop!" Inu-Yasha yelled. They all stared at him. "Wha--" Miroku was about to say when he saw something up in the air. "What is that!?" He yelled. "I have no idea" Inu-Yasha said as he kept his eyes on the enclosing object. Suddenly he realized what it was... "Sesshou-Maru!!!!" He screamed enraged and leaped up to attack him. Sesshou-Maru smiled, he had been expecting this. He pulled out his rarely used sword and pointed it towards Inu-Yasha. InuYasha had to dive out of the way as the sword slashed the air where he had been a tenth of a second earlier. Then they both landed on the ground again a bit away from eachothers. "Where's Kagome!?" Inu-Yasha yelled "What have you done to her!!!???" Sesshou-Maru smiled evilly. "Why she's here" He said calmly. Inu-Yasha sniffed the air... she was here! but there was something different about her scent... "If you've done anything to her..." Inu-Yasha growled. "Well... I've done something to her allright... but she wanted it, so I don't think you'll have to kill me. You should thank me instead" Sesshou-Maru grinned. "Where is she" Inu-Yasha said. "Kagome darling... why don't you step out? My dear brother want's to see you again" Sesshou-Maru said. "Really? I am flattered" A voice purred. That was Kagome's voice! Inu-Yasha's mind screamed. But there was something different about it... Then Kagome jumped onto the road herself, the whole group took a step back as they saw her. She wore all black clothes... with armor. She had a long black tail wrapped over one of her shoulders... just like Sesshou-Maru. She also had sharp claws and fangs... and black stripes just like Sesshou-Maru. "Aren't you happy to see me, Hmm? Inu-Yasha?" Kagome smiled. Inu-Yasha just stood there, what had happened to her? She was... she was... she had been turned into... into... a demon. "K-kagome...? W-w" "What has happened to me? Well that's a good question... indeed a good question..." She raised tapped a finger to her cheek. "It all began... when I left you all..." Sesshou-Maru stood behind her silently. "After a time I met up with Sesshou-Maru" Sesshou-Maru laughed softly from behind her, she turned to glare at him a little. "Well... we had a conversation... I don't know if you could qualify it as a 'nice' conversation though..." She smiled again. "Then... you started chasing us so we ran... and when we had gotten rid of you... Sesshou-Maru turned me into a demon". Everybody stared at her, todally shocked. "B-but how...?" Inu-Yasha asked. "Duh, with the jewel of course" Sesshou-Maru coughed from behind her "Oh... and with a little extra help from Sesshou-kun here..." She wrapped her arms around neck and he smiled widely. "Yes, and now she's got great powers... not as strong as my own though... but still very strong..." Inu-Yasha was still starring at them in shock. Not only was Kagome a demon, but she had to wrap her arms around that bastard brother of his! How could she hurt him like this?! First... she had been gone for a long time... which made him worry a lot... and miss her... and when he finally finds her... she's gone over to the enemy!? What was destiny thinking about anyway!??! "Kagome..." He said quietly... but Kagome and Sesshou-Maru still picked it up with their sensitive ears. Kagome's face softened a little... while Sesshou-Maru began frowning. "Why...? why did you leave us... truthfully" He looked down at the ground, not daring to look up at her. She was quiet for a moment before answering... "Because I hate you all" She said calmly. The group gasped and Sesshou-Maru chuckled. "Yes... she hates you, especially you... my DEAR brother... and that's why we've come to kill you, once and for all" Sesshou-Maru said. "Kagome..." He said silently "Do you really hate me?" She stared at him for a while "Yes, why wouldn't I?" Those words stabbed Inu-Yasha's heart, she said them so easily! Like he had never meant anything to her! Maybe he hadn't... "Now my brother... Let's fight" Sesshou-Maru said. Inu-Yasha raised his eyes, pure sorrow showing in them. Sesshou-Maru was enjoying seeing his brother like this, hurt, and all depressed... it would be easy to beat him now... when he knew his love didn't love him back, but hated him instead. "I don't want to fight..." Inu-Yasha said silently "If it can't bring Kagome back... then I don't want to fight..." Inu-Yasha said. Sesshou-Maru stared at his brother. "I am challenging you brother, fight me" He started to sound annoyed, which he was. "Can't" Inu-Yasha replied. Sesshou-Maru growled. "Then you'll atleast have to defend yourself!" Sesshou-Maru dashed forward, aiming his claws straight at Inu-Yasha's throat... Inu-Yasha didn't move, he just stood there. Sesshou-Maru took a step back. He had cut Inu-Yasha on the throat... just as a warning... but Inu-Yasha did still not react. "Brother! Why won't you fight me!?" Sesshou-Maru yelled. "It doesn't matter... she doesn't care about me... she want's me dead... so kill me" Sesshou-Maru was truly stunned at these words, had his foolish brother been this inlove? It must have hurt him more than he thought. Sesshou-Maru smiled. "As you wish... I admire your sacrifice" He said and leaped towards to tear his brothers heart out. Something black blurred by in front of him and then Inu-Yasha was gone. Sesshou- Maru turned around. There Kagome stood, with Inu-Yasha scooped up in her arms. "Kagome?" Sesshou-Maru asked, truly surprised that she'd to something like that. "That's no fun..." Kagome said "It's not fun to kill without any resistance" Sesshou-Maru stepped in front of her. "He want's to die, it's a favor to let him die" Sesshou-Maru said and pointed towards his brother, now lying in a heap a few feet away from them. Kagome glared at Sesshou-Maru. "I may be a demon... but I know something about fair play... and that isn't" She said and stood on her tiptoes to be able to stare him straight in the eyes. "I don't like unfair fights... that's cheating" She said. "There is no such thing as cheating in a battle of life and death" He said calmly. Kagome huffed angrily. And then turned away from him. "Fine then, kill him if you want... but it's still not a fair fight" She said and didn't turn around. Sesshou-Maru didn't say anything and stepped towards Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha was staring at the sky... soon he'd die... and everything would be nice, all the pain would be gone. He longed for the pain to disappear. To disappear forever... Then suddenly, he saw Sesshou-Maru above him, that meant that he'd die now. Goodbye world... it has been nice living in you, Kikyo... Kagome... goodbye... Then Sesshou-Maru did something surprising, he picked Inu-Yasha up. Inu-Yasha just stared at his brother. "I will come back when you are willing to fight" He said and threw Inu-Yasha in the bushes. He and Kagome then took of again, leaving the group alone. Everybody rushed towards Inu-Yasha, they were all worried about him very worried about him. "Inu-Yasha!" Sango yelled "You're hurt!" Shippou yelled. Miroku cast a look of sympathy at Inu-Yasha... no wonder he couldn't rise... the love of his life had just told him that she hated him. Miroku picked Inu-Yasha up and he began carrying him towards a clearing with the others following him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hmmm.... no fight in this one. I wonder how many parts I'm going to write, I think it's going to be at least for or five more chapters... but I don't know.... it might end up being 34... (Yeah right) Ohn well... we'll just see about that. I hope you enjoyed it! (Ehe... I just read it again... man this chapter was soooo badly written...)
