The Miko,Her Lost Love, and Power

Ch 9: Inner Demons

I woke up in a forest with out the others. I get up and look around. I only see trees around me and its dark out. The only light out right now is the stars and moon. I just start to wonder around aimlessly, trying to understand what was going on.

I heard a branch snap and I turn to look in the direction it came from and out comes Inuyasha. 

"Inuyasha?" I question. 

"Who could ever love a foolish girl like you?" he questions.

"W-What?" I say in shock.

"You will never be better than Kikyo," he says with a smirk.

I stood there looking like a dear caught in headlights, wondering why he was saying these hurtful things.

"I don't understand how Sesshomaru even likes you," he says in disgust. "Even I don't like you, you'll never be a good priestess," he says spitefully.

"INUYASHA SIT BOY," I say in anger but when I open my eyes again he's just standing there smirking at me.

He starts to walk towards me and I start to back away until I hear something behind me. I stop and look and its Kikyo walking out of the darkness of the forest. She starts taunting me along with Inuyasha. I franticly look around for an escape but as soon as I run in that direction, Naraku comes out and starts to taunt me with the others. They circle me while saying I'm useless, I will never fix the shikon jewel, I'm a horrible priestess, I can't save anyone, Sesshomaru doesn't even like me, and more.

I was starting to get angry. As they continue to say hurtful things, the anger was starting to get to me. The anger I felt wasn't something I've felt before, I just snapped and I changed. I wasn't in control, my anger was. I felt a strong urge to kill them all and that's when I knew I had to get control. My bloodlust was trying to get the best of me but I wouldn't let it. 

When I finally got control, I started to feel different. I felt stronger in all ways. My instincts are stronger now. I could feel when any of those three moved, whether it was a twitch of the finger or breathing, I can feel it. My senses are off the charts now and nothing was getting past me.

All of them start to attack me and I dodge all of the attacks made. I just kept dodging until there was an opening for me to attack. I duck, dive, and weave through all of their attacks. Until I could see all their weak spots and fight them back. When I fight back I start with Kikyo, then I move onto Naraku, and finally Inuyasha. I save Inuyasha for last because I knew I would have to go against my emotions. I still care for Inuyasha even though these feelings are not romantic. 

Once I defeat them Yvonne and Azul came out the forest clapping with proud faces. I look at them with a questioning face.

"You did it, you defeated your inner demons," said Azul with a look of pride.

"We are so proud of you, Kagome," Yvonne says sweetly. "But now its time for you to go you've been asleep for two days and I cannot imagine how worried your friends must be, "she says while waving goodbye.

"but wait!" I say in a rush, but its too late they're already gone and I'm waking up.

I start to wake up and I hear someone yell, guys she's waking up, now everyone is crowding around me again. 

"Hey Kagome, you've been sleep for two days, how do you feel?" Sango says out of concern.

"I'm okay, a little hungry but okay," I say.
