Legend: :: :: _ Inuyasha's subconscious.
"Lady Kikyou! Are you alright?" A villager ran up to her. Kikyou was a bloody mess. Her shirt was torn and she was bleeding rapidly.
"I'll be fine." Kikyou looked up to see Inuyasha being tied up. He was giving her a deep glare. The villagers had spears pointed at him. She looked away. Kikyou was helped up by the villager. They brought her to the village, as well as dragged INuyasha along.
He was placed in a hut surrounded by demon wards. Outside were guards. Kikyou was brought to a healer, who helped her tend to her wounds. She had three large gashes across her stomach. Kikyou was had difficulty breathing. It was the first time in years that she was injured so badly.
~*Flashback*~
"Lady Megumi! There is a demon attack!" A villager shouted.
Inside the hut, Megumi stood up. She looked at a 12-year-old girl in priestess clothes and said, "Come Kikyou. Let us deal with this demon."
The young Kikyou nodded and followed the older woman out. They both were armed with a bow. They ran towards the place of the attack. It was in the outer most part of the village on the east side. It was a large black spider demon. The spider was as large as a house.
"Lady Megumi, there is the demon!" A wide-eyed Kikyou pointed.
"I know Kikyou. Let me deal with this." Megumi said, and she ran forward, and fired an arrow. Kikyou, being the young stubborn girl she was then, had walked too close. The demon charged at Kikyou.
"MEGUMI!!!" Kikyou cried. Megumi shot an arrow into the demon's heart, but the momentum had the demon's claws dig into Kikyou.
"Kikyou! I told you not to wander into a battlefield!" Megumi ran over to Kikyou. She pulled the claws out of the demon, and then carried Kikyou back to the village.
~*End*~
Megumi died two years later in another demon attack, and Kikyou took her place.
"Big Sister! What happened!" A teary-eyed Kaede exclaimed. She ran to her sister's side. "Inuyasha did this, didn't he!?"
"Yes Kaede, but I will be fine. These wounds are not serious." However, Kikyou grimaced as she tried to get up. Kaede ran out of the room, presumable towards Inuyasha. "KAEDE! WAIT!"
'Owwwww.' Inuyasha grimaced as he lay tied up inside the hut. He had no chance of escaping like this. The demon wards would be too powerful unless he was in full strength.
He sat up when a little girl entered the hut. "DEMON! You hurt my sister!" She ran up and kicked him in the stomach, where the arrow had hit. He clenched his teeth in pain as the foot dug into his wound. Then Kaede proceeded to punch him in the chest and face.
"Girl, if you don't fucking stop, now, I swear, I will KILL you!" Inuyasha threatened. Kaede widened her eyes, then ran out of the room screaming. Inuyasha smiled smugly and decided to get some sleep.
Kikyou stepped out into the night. Her wounds were treated and she was mostly fine. She decided to check out the damages. She was shocked at the damage. Half the village was a wreck. Buildings were crumbling and splintered. Dead bodies covered the ground. The blood stained the ground that the area looked like a red carpet.
She decided to head towards Inuyasha. He was being held in her hut. Kikyou wanted to help Inuyasha. She was starting to feel sorry for him, being a half-demon. She knew what it was like to want to be normal.
Inuyasha laid awake. He was slowly biding his time until his wound fully closed. But the way the humans had treated his wound didn't help.
He heard a rustling outside. He snapped out of his sleepy state and was ready to rip the ropes apart to defend himself. But the person who really came in was an unarmed Kikyou. Inuyasha growled, "Bitch, what are you doing here? Come to finish me off when I'm down?"
"Of course not." Kikyou walked over an lighted a torch. "I'm here to tend to your wounds."
They were silent the whole time. Kikyou delicately tended to the arrow wounds in his stomach and arm. 'Wow... I did do a lot of damage.' She looked over him, and then saw some bruises. 'Huh? Where did these come from. I guess the villagers beat him.'
"Inuyasha, I have a proposal for you." Kikyou said.
"Hn?"
"I've decided to let you go, but on one condition."
"And that is!?"
"Never come back here."
Inuyasha thought about this for awhile, then agreed. 'Once I get back to full strength I'll come again, and this time I'll kill you.'
"Inuyasha is gone!" A villager shouted. "Get Kikyou!" But before they could send for her, she was already there.
"Yes? What is the matter?"
"Inuyasha has left! We should hunt him down!"
"He is gone already. Inuyasha has left here, so there is no point in chasing him."
They looked at her strangely, but shrugged and left. However, Kaede was there. She asked, "You let him go, didn't you?"
"Yes."
"Why did you! He hurt you badly."
"I guess I felt sorry for him. He is just trying to be normal."
"Hnn...."
"Kaede, you should get back to training."
"You're in love with him, aren't you?"
"What do you mean? I just met him."
"Don't lie. Your eyes say so. You like him and that's why you let him go."
"Okay, so I do. Kaede, just go. I need to be alone." Kaede left. Kikyou sat down. 'Inuyasha. How can you affect me so?'
(Inuyasha's Thoughts)
Kikyou. How can you affect me so? You've been nice to me, as well. No one really ever cares. And what's this feeling?
::She's pretty, ain't she?::
Yea- HEY! Whatdya know?
::I know you're in love with her. Love is in the AIR!::
Shaddup! I just met her for Kami's sake!
::Really? I'm sure that's not what you really think. She's pretty, and attractive. You're in love.::
Who are you to say such things?
::I'm you, remember? You can't lie to yourself::
Whatever. I still have to kill that bitch to get the Jewel.
::Harsh words. You know you're not gonna do it. And she's not a bitch, cuz she's not a dog. And she is definitely not one in the human sense.::
Get outta My MIND!
::Can't. I'm you, you're me, we're the same::
Shaddup. I'm gonna get some sleep.
::Yea. I'll make sure you'll dream about her! Goodnite!::
A/N: So, that's the end of Let You Go. Aww, it's love at first sight. And I think I'll make Inuyasha try to kill Kikyou again. Then they start to be friends in the fourth chapter... Er, I'll see ya later. I gotta brainstorm.
