Demon Thoughts

Thoughts

Chapter One- Inopportune words!

"There, I think that's all I need for this round home," Kagome commented to her mother who just finished helping her packing her huge yellow bag. Kagome went through her mental list one more time. Medical supplies, ramen, clothes, books, other food supplies, herbs, and incidentals, check to all of them. Kagome picked up the elephant like backpack and put it on. She'd been in the future for a few weeks, studying, testing for mid-semester finals, and training in some self defense. Her mother thought it'd be a good idea when she was home to train so she wouldn't get hurt.

Walking to the well house Kagome couldn't stop thinking that within a few weeks she'd actually be done with school and could spend a more permanent basis in the feudal era. She knew that she'd eventually have to pick a place to stay once she left, and it weighed heavy on her heart. Shrugging it off for now Kagome slid over the railing of the well and within a few moments of a time was five hundred years in the past.

Taking a deep breath into her lungs she sighed at the scent of fresh air. Sighing she started to climb out of the well. When she was nearing the top a hand reached down and pulled her out. Smiling Kagome saw Inuyasha waiting for her. "Well it's about time Kagome! How long did you need to stay! We've so many jewel shards to collect and I'm positive Naraku now has a lead because you had to take your sweet little time!"

Deep breaths Kagome, deep breaths, it'll be over soon. "Hello to you to Inuyasha. I had finals to finish you know that. I'm here now and I'm sure he doesn't. We've quite a few pieces I've melded some together and left some in a hidden jar were no one will find them. So breathe. Let's go back to the village, 'kay?" With that Kagome started walking for Edo, for home.

When they reached the outside of Edo, a ball of fur launched itself at her. Kagome caught Shippo in her arms laughing with him. Sango and Miroku stood up from where they'd been sitting having a picnic with Shippo passing the time waiting for Kagome to come back.

"Welcome back Kagome. How was your trip home," Miroku asked as Sango embraced Kagome. This is a pieced together family that I've made over here Kagome sighed.

"It was strenuous, so many exams. Just to think in a few weeks I'll be back one more time for my finals and to turn in the homework I do here, and then when I return there will be tons more time dedicated to the hunting of Naraku and jewel shards."

Smiling, they're right where I want them. Soon that miko will be under my control, she'll come to me, and then… The thought of what I was going to do sent shivers down my spine. I couldn't held the incandescent joy I felt right then. Enough to change ways, definitely not, but enough to input my plans, yes.

"Sesshomaru-sama! Sesshomaru-sama! Rin would like to see Lady Kagome-chan! She hasn't seen Rin in so long; Rin doesn't want Kagome-chan to forget me!" An excited Rin told Sesshomaru bouncing around him. Sesshomaru sighed, Rin his charge never got denied anything since she's been with him for three years, and she knew it. If she wanted to see that disgusting miko he'd take her to see him. Who knows maybe there's something he'd get out of this visit. He nodded his head to Rin. "Jaken! We're moving!"

Sesshomaru led Au and Uhn with Rin on his back and Jaken following to find the miko.

Inuyasha's group was moving quickly, racing towards a demon that Kagome said had a jewel shard. Upon arrival Inuyasha let Kagome down while drawing Tetsusaiga, Sango and Miroku jumped off of Kirara and drew their weapons as well. The fight was quick as the demon had lost his mind and was deteriorating anyway.

Kagome walked over to where the jewel shard landed and picked it up, it was a bigger piece, which meant that he'd consumed a few and they combined in his body. The jewel became pink once it was in her hands. Grasping the part of the jewel she kept on her neck, Kagome bowed her head and using her miko powers fused the pieces together.

Kagome stiffened when she felt a strong aura coming quickly towards them. Sesshomaru, what do you require? Kagome thought as Inuyasha picked up the stench of his brother and started growling in the direction he was coming from.

When Sesshomaru entered the clearing, he walked quickly straight to Kagome. "You, Miko! Come with me!" Sesshomaru barked out of her. Then Inuyasha shoved him out of the way growling. Kagome not wishing for a fight to happen placed her hand on Inuyasha's arm. She nodded to Sesshomaru and replaced her bow around her quiver and walked over to him.

"What is it you require, Lord Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked.

"Rin requested to see you, and this Sesshomaru agreed. While we stopped for a while so I could fend off some mere minor pestilent of demons, she was taken right under my nose! I need a miko to find her, and I happened to know you could."

Kagome nodded and motioned for Sesshomaru to lead the way as fear and anxiety griped at her heart. Little Rin who was so joyful and full of life couldn't be taken! She ran after Sesshomaru, unknowingly feeding her power to enhance her muscles so she could keep up and run fast enough to get there quickly. When they entered where they were, she could see evidence of the battle, Au and Uhn, Jaken, but no Rin.

Waking over to Au and Uhn she felt her aura and started tracing it slowly. They covered her scent, but they didn't cover her aura. How pathetic that demon must be. She followed it until it took off into the air. What! How? Then it crossed her mind. Kagura!

"Good job Kagura. Now that I've this ward of Sesshomaru, he'll come to his demise, and that miko will follow as she has a heart for all. In fact Kagura, give the miko a lift. I really would wish to start the transformation." Naraku's face was lit up with an evil smile.

Inuyasha and the group caught up to where Sesshomaru and Kagome were standing. Kagome looked confused. "What on earth do you think you were DOING back there you wench! You must be the biggest baka on earth to go off with him! Who could love you?" Inuyasha shouted at her.

Tears stung the back of Kagome's eyes but she pushed them back and her look froze over, enough to put a chill in the already frozen heart of Sesshomaru.

"How dare you Inuyasha! Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, and sit!" Kagome shouted at him. The crater left from the impact made a deep well in the shape of a half-demon whose name was being cursed to every bit of shred.

Wow. I don't think this Sesshomaru should ever get her angry. Did you see the spark of power just then? What are you doing out? I thought I'd locked you away as a discipline from last time? Heh…you had. But you should offer to have her trained so she doesn't blow anything up. Shut up!

Sesshomaru focused quick enough to see the quickly retreating form of Kagome. Just then bigger issues showed up as Kagura and that little child of Naraku's showed up.

Kagura sighed. At this rate she'd be doing everything for that brat and Naraku. She now had a knocked out Kagome, and two huge vials of Sesshomaru's blood. That was very dangerous to get. What did Naraku need with it anyway?

The castle was quickly approaching. Then Kagura started thinking things over. She saw part of Inuyasha's group but where was Inuyasha? Huh, oh well. Guess he was gone. Landing, Kagura flung the girl over her shoulder and walked into the manor.

"Ah, Kagura you're back. Did you get what I asked?" Naraku said meeting her in the hallway. Nodding her head, Naraku smiled and motioned for Kagura to follow him. He led her to the room where he had Rin on a table. He took the miko from Kagura and placed her on the table next to Rin. "Soon, oh so soon. How will you like your precious humans then…"

Inuyasha climbed out of his hole to see a shocked monk and demon slayer and a not so quite dead brother. That was one huge oswari that wench had done to him! When he got his hands on her…wait, where was she?

"Sango, where'd Kagome go?"

"Kagura came while you were passed out and under the control of the Rosary beads. Attacked took a lot of Sesshomaru's blood, and then took a knocked out Kagome. She took off with the jars and Kagome." Sango replied. Her voice far away. "We're taking care of Sesshomaru for the night, until he's better, then going after Kagome and Rin. We found out that Naraku has them both now."

"What!!!"

"Well if you hadn't been so cruel we wouldn't be in this predicament now would we? We're leaving in a few hours to start hunting them down," Sango said to Inuyasha.

They all looked to Sesshomaru to see how he felt about travelling with them, but he was already gone. Obviously he must have finished healing and taken off.

Kagome woke up to a dismal place, there was a drip sound from one corner. This place seemed to resemble how she felt now. Inuyasha, I give you my heart and you ripped it to pieces each time you went to see Kikyo. But those words you said, were the last straw. How can I try to be with someone who cares so little for me. Once I get away from this situation I'm in right now, I guess I'll part my own ways. Kagome let out a sigh, then quickly shut her eyes as she felt a dark aura approaching.

"Kanna, it's time. Bring me the jars that Kagura brought back with her. I'll start with the girl, she'll be easier, and it'll hit closer home with Sesshomaru. Make sure you lace the blood from the miko in there." Kagome heard a voice whisper.

"Yes Master."

That's when Kagome felt the tug of Rin's aura. It was tainted heavily with fear. Kagome let a little of her aura wrap around her, not too much to let Naraku know she had awoken, but enough to comfort the little girl next to her. "Hmm, seems the miko's awake. Kagura, put her back out." That was the last Kagome heard for the last time.

AlN: This is my first Inuyasha fanfic, not my first all together, just Inuyasha. Review if you want. Flames will be laughed at and discarded as I don't care for them and find them amusing and they do help me come up with plots as I think of twists and turns to throw in for torture. Mwahahahaha. *coughs* Anyway. Test trial. If you like it you do, if not. Eh. Not a big deal. I'll see where it goes and try to post soon. Chow.
