Chapter 11:

Inuyasha couldn't believe what he was hearing. He thought he had known her all these years and now it seemed to him that he didn’t know her. She had loved him for so long and he had never noticed anything. (he wouldn't even notice if a woman who loves him fell from the sky next to him) Tieena approached his face with closed eyes. But Inuyasha would not and could not let that happen. He gently pushed her away from him. "Tieena, I can't do that. I'm sorry, but it just doesn't work" Tieena was visibly disappointed. No wonder, she really loved him with all her heart and now he rejected her. ° Why? Now he thinks I'm stupid ° Inuyasha turned to her. "No, Tieena. You understand, I like you very much, but only as a friend and unfortunately you can't be more for me." Tieena had hoped that he would return her love. But she couldn't force it. She accepted it with pain, but wondered what was stopping him.Does he already love someone else? Now they went back to the troops. When Kagome saw Tieena's face she wondered. ° Nanu? Why is she looking so dejected? What happened? ° But that remained a mystery at first. Suddenly someone was running excitedly down the corridor. It was an elf who ran and repeated the same thing over and over but only a few could understand him. Inuyasha, Kinako and Tieena went to him quickly to inquire about what upset him. "noro lim?" Inuyasha said and the Elf answered him. "Im arent telin lefalt" Now Kinako spoke. "Lasto besnin den tolant gallant" The Elf spoke again "Daro burnanum" Now Tieena also answered. "Nodolin mailor, Yasion!" "Come on, let's go!" Inuyasha asked the others who hadn't understood anything at all. They did it because there was hardly anything else they could do. She just ran after them. As they later noticed, they ran out of Ashenton. "Tell me what is going on now?" asked Kagome.Kinako explained it to them "The elf told us that a dragon is raging outside, namely one of the arms of the banished one." They were amazed that Kinako and even Inuyasha could speak this language. Tieena went elsewhere now. "Where is she going?" asked Sango. "She'll tell Yasion and get her weapon." Now they came through the beautiful gate and immediately saw the huge red dragon. (it's Hannibal hahaha) Inuyasha didn't want to use Tessaiga this time, but rather his so-called 'forbidden arts'. Inuyasha tried to concentrate. Kinako told him how to use magic. It worked, black energy balls formed in his hands like last time. Obviously proud of himself, he fired her at the dragon. This fell to the ground with screams. Everyone was impressed that he had learned to deal with it so quickly. Now everyone believed it was over but they were wrong. His wounds healed and the dragon rose again.If that didn't help, what then? Now Tieena came with Yasion. "This time the dragon can only be destroyed with white magic" Now they knew what was required. "Come on Kinako come up with something!" Kinako thought hard. With a magic spell she couldn't think of any. Otherwise she was always so good at it. The dragon was able to regenerate which made the whole thing difficult. “I'll distract him, but hurry up a bit!” Inuyasha called to her. He could dodge his attacks, but he couldn't hurt him either. When things got tight for him, he instinctively used his powers again. It created a pressure wave so strong that it tore the kite apart. But it wasn't long before he stood up again. Inuyasha found it harder and harder to avoid the dragon and kept hurting him. "Inuyasha, if you hurt him, he'll get stronger and stronger," Yasion yelled at him. "Hey! Couldn't you say that earlier?" But you knew why he didn't say it.Kinako thought hard. There was such a spell for it, but she couldn't really remember it. She had never fought or used dragons and was not so good at him. She just didn't really realize it, but she could vaguely remember it. Since the dragon had become stronger through doing Inuyashas, ​​he managed to injure Inuyasha. That made Kinako remember the spell. "I know again," she said inadvertently. "Well then, tell me!" demanded Inuyasha.



Kinako nodded.

"I am the light,

your devilish shadow does not conquer me.

Return to the darkness,

and stay there for all eternity.

The dragon is now banished,

this light is your guarantee for that. "



The dragon literally burned up in a bright light. He was no longer healing, he was defeated. So they went back inside but Inuyasha was intercepted by Kagome. "Inuyasha you were injured by the dragons we are supposed to treat you" But Kagome actually meant himself with the word we.Inuyasha had a deep wound down her left shoulder from which a lot of blood was oozing. ° Inuyasha get medical treatment! ° Kinako mentally gave Inuyasha. He took her advice and took Kagome into the hospital room. Shippo wanted afterwards but Kinako stopped him. Sango and Miroku understood immediately and now also held Shippo back. Nobody noticed that Tieena was running after them. Inuyasha sat on a bed that was intended for patients. Kagome disinfected the wound. ° I may have got a shock when Inuyasha was injured. I was scared ° Inuyasha looked at her. ° Are you worried about me? Somehow sweet ° Kagome read this thought and now looked at Inuyasha as well. Was he really just thinking sweetly? They both blushed and looked elsewhere again.



Tieena stood at the door and watched them both. ° So that's why. He loves Kagome that's why he doesn't love me. It's a shame, but I can't do anything about it ° Tieena left because she didn't want to disturb.Inuyasha then went to Kinako to get some advice (he can't do anything on his own)



Kagome was now sitting at the edge of the lake and looking at the surface of the water where the starry sky was reflected. But she wasn't alone. Tieena stepped up behind her and stood there. “Well still awake?” Kagome was startled and realized who it was. Tieena sat down next to her and didn't look at her. Kagome couldn't stand this silence. "Tieena? Do you have anything against me?" You could hear the uncertainty. Tieena just looked at her before speaking. "I would love to kill you," Kagome was startled. "Don't worry, I won't do it. Already because of Inuyasha" Kagome noticed for a long time that she was interested in him but only now realized that she really loved him. “You are the reincarnation of Kikyo, right?” Kagome got angry. "I am not born again from anyone" Tieena was almost frightened. "I was hoping you would say that. Because I hate Kikyo and you are just a lot like her." "I'm not like her at all.I am Kagome and not Kikyo. But why do you hate her? “Tieena had to marvel at Kagome's behavior.” Because Kikyo had injured Inuyasha. He trusted her and even wanted to become a person for her and she banishes him to a tree. Inuyasha was so exhausted about her death. She hurt him, that's it. "Kagome continued to listen carefully." Inuyasha and I have known each other for so long. Since we were kids. I'm a hanyou too and was chased away like Inuyasha. I was always impressed how he kept going despite the treatment from others. I envied his strength. He never gave up courage and always cheered me up. "She felt sorry for Kagome. She knew the feeling. If he always went to Kikyo." We have something in common, I also don't particularly like Kikyo. "Tieena looked up. Well, maybe we'll be friends after all. But I won't accept that Inuyasha loves you. "" But he doesn't love me, "Kagome said with a red head."Yes, he does. You can see that from the way he looks at you. Good night," Tieena left with that.



Kagome had a lot going through his head that night. But she still couldn't find the right answer to anything. But again and again she remembered that Inuyasha thinks he thinks she is cute. She always had to grin as if it were the best there is.



Inuyasha was also still awake in bed. Kinako was a great help and friend to him. Now he knew that Kagome didn't hate him. But Tieena still gave him a few thoughts. He hoped she didn't take it too hard. He had to somehow make Kagome think what would help him. But the problem was still not resolved. Kagome or Kikyo? Inuyasha woke up early to talk to Kinako. When he told her that he still didn't know, Kinako thought about it. "The spell only works for 44 hours. Maybe I should lay the cards" "Well, if you can really find out something with it?" Inuyasha didn't really believe that one could lay the future with cards."Just because you don't know. Let me try it" Inuyasha wanted to know something about it, but he declined. "If you don't want to, you've already" "Well. But what should I do?" "What is your feeling when you're with both of them?" Inuyasha was silent. Who should he put that into words? "When I'm with Kagome I always feel strong. Ready for everyone. When she's not there, I'm so listless and feel weak. She always manages to make me smile. She is so cheerful and accepts everyone like that as he is. "Kinako didn't really understand why he still didn't know who he loved now. It seemed so obvious somehow. "And with Kikyo?" "Well, I don't know either. But I just love her like before. I can't just leave her alone and leave her fate. I ..." He didn't really know what to say. With Kagome he thought a lot but with Kikyo he had to think a lot.Kinako read his mind and didn't get it. “Do you know what I think?” Inuyasha looked at her asking that she should answer. Inuyasha looked at her invitingly. "I think you're still attached to Kikyo because you are plagued by guilty feelings. You kind of imagine that you are still in love with her. You don't want to leave her alone because you feel complicit in her death. You don't want to leave her alone like You have already done it before. You see? You have loved her once and you may even love her forever, but she will never be the
