The Betrayal

All Because Of A Stupid Sword

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N- Hello all and welcome to yet another story!

I think I'm finally getting the hang of all this fan fiction stuff, but heck, who really cares? As long as things remain interesting right?

Anyway, this story was something that I came up with when I thought about the chances of InuYasha betraying Kagome. I think it'll work, but I'll never really know for sure...

Just to get it done and over with, I don't own InuYasha. I know, I really wish I did sometimes, but Takahashi-sensei is way better at all this than I would ever be...

Alright, I will warn you all now. This is going to be a four-shot at most, the chapters will be various lengths and I'll update when I feel like it or when the chapts are done.

It will eventually contain a lemon, but I'm going to cut it down so that I don't get kicked off here. I was warned just the other day and so now I have to censor some of it out, so if you want the whole thing, go to or My penname's for those sites are in my profile.

Well, I think that's everything, so let's get on with this!

Chapter One

The Betrayal

--0o0--

Tick, Tick, Tick...

Kagome shifted in her seat as her eyes kept drifting from the window to the clock in the front of the room.

Tick, Tick, Tick...

Her teeth grit at the deafening sound of the clock as it slowly ticked towards two thirty. Her teacher's voice was droll as usual as he ranted on and on about yet another test that was coming, up. But Kagome was focusing more upon the clock than her teacher's words.

Tick, Tick, Tick...

'One minute, one more minute! Come on clock, get there already! Please!!' Kagome had a white knuckled grip upon her pencil as she glared up at the clock, time didn't seem to be on her side today, because the clock just continued to tick away happily at it's slow pace.

Tick, Tick, Tick...

Her foot had begun to bounce with the ticking of the clock and Kagome was finding that the sound was starting to become rather deafening to her ears. But she was determined to not let it get to her, after all, she was an adult and not some child. She would remain calm and collected...

Tick, Tick, Tick...

'Damn it! Just be two thirty already! I hate you, you evil clock!' Kagome's voice in her mind sounded desperate as her eyes melted, she was sending a pleading look towards the clock and still it didn't seem to do her any good.

Tick, Tick, Tick...

Deciding to just give up, Kagome looked away from the clock and instead outside the window at her side. The sky was filled with dark storm clouds and it had been raining since that morning, but as a flash of lightning in the distance caught her eye. Kagome felt some strange sense of foreboding of what was to come.

Tick, Tick, Brrrrrriiiinnnnggggg!!

Jerking as the bell rang, Kagome looked about the room and saw that everyone was getting their stuff together as they prepared to leave the room. The teacher drolled on about studding for an upcoming exam, but Kagome paid it little mind as she scooped up her books and bag.

After putting everything in a place that it wouldn't get rain on, Kagome turned and booked it out of the classroom, leaving her gabbing friends behind without so much as a word. She did have more important things to do after all.

Once she was outside, Kagome looked about the school grounds and tried to find a place to take cover until InuYasha showed up. He had been adamant about her being ready to go right when school got out and Kagome was more than willing to wait for him, just so long as he didn't take forever getting there.

Hurrying over to the trees nearby, Kagome huddled under the branches and watched as the rain only continued to fall. As time ticked by, her mind began to wander and soon, her thoughts had drifted to something she had never expected.

She was thinking about Sesshoumaru, of all people.

'InuYasha has never really told me much about his brother, well, other than calling him a bastard and all around human hater. But why is he like that? I mean, no one is born hating someone else, it's something that is learned over time. So why?'

"...ome!" Kagome was pulled out of her thoughts when InuYasha's voice met her ears. Looking up, Kagome came face to face with a rather annoyed looking Hanyou.

InuYasha was soaking wet. His arms were crossed over his chest as he glared down at Kagome, not able to keep eye contact, Kagome turned her head away. InuYasha didn't let that stop him though.

Reaching down he gripped a hold of Kagome bicep and drug her to her feet, forcing the girl to stand at his side in the pouring rain. Narrowing his eyes at her InuYasha gave her another harsh tug as he started walking, "come on. Let's go."

Wincing at the pain that shot through her arm at where InuYasha's claws were digging into her skin, Kagome gave a nod of her head as she hurried to walk at his side, not wanting to piss him off anymore than he was already.

'Speaking of that, why is he in such a bad mood anyway? I mean, he's always angry but not this much...' a sudden thought hit Kagome making her glance worriedly at InuYasha, 'something must have happened upon the other side of the well, something really bad by the way he's acting. I wonder what it was and would he even tell me?'

InuYasha must have decided that she wasn't walking fast enough, because before she even had a chance to say 'Osawari' InuYasha had lifted her piggy-back style and began leaping back towards her home.

The rain continued to pelt Kagome right in the face and she had to duck her head, burying it as best she could in InuYasha's silver locks, not that it helped much. With InuYasha leaping like he was, the water was hitting much harder than it had been before.

It took about four minutes to reach the shrine and Kagome was soaked to the bone, wanting nothing more than to go inside and take a nice long hot shower, but it seemed that InuYasha had other plans once again.

Instead of going towards the door leading into the house, InuYasha made a straight bee-line for the well house and the bone-eaters well. Tugging hard on InuYasha's hair, Kagome narrowed her eyes in anger, "what are you doing? I'm sopping wet InuYasha and I don't even have my supplies yet, so why the heck are you going to the well?"

His reaction to her words wasn't something that Kagome was expecting. InuYasha dropped Kagome onto her butt and had turned to face her, his eyes hard and angry. "I don't give a flying fuck if you have your shit or not wench, but you are coming back with me and you are coming now. If I have to force you down that well, then I will..."

Glaring up at him, Kagome was about to say 'that' word when InuYasha suddenly clasped his hand over her mouth. He was snarling directly in her face now and frankly, it was beginning to scare her.

"Don't you even try it, if you do I'm taking you with me, understand?!" Gulping at the seriousness in InuYasha's voice, Kagome nodded her head, unable to use her voice at the moment.

That seemed to be enough for InuYasha though and with another swift tug, he had pulled her to her feet once again before dragging her inside the well house. As they reached the well, InuYasha didn't even give her any warning before he lifted her into his arms and leapt into the well.

Kagome remained still and quiet, as they passed through, landing upon the other side. Something had definitely happened while she had been gone and judging from the way InuYasha was treating her, it wasn't anything good.

It was almost as if...

Immediately Kagome's eyes widened, her body becoming rigid as she stared up at InuYasha's face. She had heard about it from Kaede first, 'but, he couldn't...I mean...why would he?' Shaking her head as InuYasha touched down in the clearing that surrounded the well.

It was raining there too and Kagome started to shake as her mind whirled on what she would do, because if InuYasha was going to attempt what she was thinking, then she was in real grave danger.

Deciding not to even take that chance, Kagome began struggling in InuYasha's arms, trying to break free. But InuYasha was far too strong. He tightened his grip slightly, causing Kagome to wince as his claws dug into her side, cutting her deeply.

A sudden sound off to the side made Kagome momentarily forget her pain as she turned her head. Only to come face to face with her worst nightmare.

There, just at the edge of the clearing stood Kikyou. Her cold brown eyes sent a shiver of realization and horror down Kagome's spine.

She had been betrayed. 'Kaede was right...'
