Beauty In Plain Sight - Inuyasha Fanfiction!

Chapter 20: I'm In Love With You

A rock theme begins as Chiyo is shown turning as her black hair waves in the wind. As the music changes, her eyes are zoomed in to show sad looking eyes. "What should I protect?" The title is shown before it fades away to show Chiyo standing with Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara. "Without a doubt, there was only one thing: An echoing cry, a sound made in vain within the deep forest." Kagome is shown running over to them and Shippo jumps down to the ground from Sango's Hiraikotsu and smiles up at Kagome. The music changes as Koga is shown with gritted teeth as he growled. "The reason I could hold back my tears, was because of the warmth when our fingers touched!" The music speeds up and Chiyo is shown standing alone as the wind is shown blowing her hair and she held her arms up to stop it. "A future without you is a future without meaning!" Koga is shown jumping over to attack Kagura before Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku and Shippo also appear and attack at Kagura, Kanna and Naraku. "I'll never let go of you again!" Light flashes and Sesshomaru is shown walking with Rin and Jaken before a woman with duel-colored eyes and black hair flashes like a ghost while she looked to be sleeping before Sesshomaru is shown multiple times wielding one of his three swords. "The world I see with you is a world I've never seen before!" Light flashes and Chiyo is shown either playing with Inuyasha's ears, Shippo's tail or Kirara in general while the others just laughed at Inuyasha getting angry. "We travel across time and space on a distant journey!" Light flashes as Chiyo and Koga are shown back to back as Koga wields metal claws on his right hand while he looked to be growling. The music slows down as the two fade to silhouettes and the title is shown.

"CHIYO!" Koga yells.

"She was poisoned. But it wasn't Inuyasha's fault..." Kagome says.

"I don't care, you're despicable, Inuyasha! You were supposed to be protecting her! Chiyo's body feels colder than it normally is and her beautiful cheeks which are always so rosy when she smiles at me are pale as a fish's belly! How dare you put Chiyo's life in danger when I thought you could protect her?" Koga yells, "You're her older brother but all you care about is Kagome and your friends!" Kagome and the others watch in shock as Koga's eyes fill with tears.

"Koga..." Kagome says.

"I should have kept her with me... but I was ashamed that my carelessness got her hurt... so I needed a little while before I apologized... But now I might not even get that chance!" Koga yells and Inuyasha just stares shocked.

"I'm sorry..." Inuyasha says after a few moments, "She's my baby sister and I can't even protect her. I've never been able to. That's the reason I left her alone so many years ago. I thought... I thought she'd be better off without me. But then she declared that she wanted to face Naraku in order to free her friend from his curse and I... I was just so preoccupied with the same goal that I just let her come along... I knew that she'd end up doing it on her own since that's the type of person she is... We're both like that I guess..." Inuyasha looks over at Chiyo. Inuyasha looks down and squeezes his eyes shut.

"I made her so weak by taking most of the dog demon genes... That's why I can't protect her!" Inuyasha says. Koga continues to hold Chiyo's body tightly. The others look at him. Kagome looks at everyone.

"Let's give Koga a few minutes." Kagome says.

"Hmm..." Inuyasha says. Inuyasha and Kirara help the group walk away and Koga looks down at Chiyo.

"Chiyo... you can't go now. We were just... just getting to know one another." Koga whispers as he holds Chiyo in his arms, "Reiki told us that wouldn't be at the last battle with Naraku... that can't because you die and I die trying to get revenge your death. Reiki said that I'd be there with her when Naraku is killed. I think you'll be there as well." Koga leans back and looks at Chiyo's face.
