Chapter three: That's not Kikyo!
Rating:: Most definitely R and up!
.Haha.
Kagome pushed the soft comforter from her body, wishing she hadn't. The cold hit her warm flesh, erupting tiny goosebumps all over her skin. Whatever the smell that was wafting through the area smelled absolutely delicious. Delicious enough to wake Kagome from her slumber.
'There's only one thing that mom cooks where it smells this great. Too bad she's not here.'
Kagome sat up, her back cracking in the process, she winced at the kink in her lower shoulder. She opened her eyes and her bleary gaze landed on the fire and a large slab of meat roasting over it. Kagome yawned and rubbed the eye droppings away.
"Good morning."
Kagome looked at the crimson eyed "demon" before nodding. "G' mornin. What time is it? And that smells great..."
"Dawn."
"Hm," Kagome looked around in awkward silence before her eyes landed on the white fur that was wrapped around her legs. It was really soft. She ran her fingers through the fur and blushed. It was his. If she had it, what did he sleep with during the night? It was freezing!
'He must have put it over me when I fell asleep.' Kagome blushed darker. That meant he got close to her while she wasn't conscious!
"T-thankyou, for the fur."
"You're welcome."
"You weren't cold?"
"Most demons would not get cold in such weather."
"Are you sure? I mean, you don't look like most demons."
Naraku smirked, and almost chuckled. 'If she only knew.'
"I am sure."
"Okay."
Kagome fidgeted on her spot on the ground. She had to go pee really bad, AND she had morning breath. She stood and her back popped once more. She sighed. Her body felt like a board, she was stiff everywhere! Kagome stretched out fully, her arms linked together high in the air. The hem of her school shirt rose considerably before she noticed and sputtered. A dark blush crept along her face before she pushed her shirt back down.
'Remember Kagome, there's a MALE DEMON sitting a few feet away from you!!'
"I have to go to the bathroom."
Naraku pointed behind a tree from his spot on the ground, next to the fire and cooking meat. "There is a stream behind those trees."
Kagome nodded, and looked around for her school backpack. It had a her mini toothbrush and toothpaste, her brush, and some deodorant. She thanked the heavens that she was forgetful when it came to school mornings. She remembered last week to put all those things in her yellow pack. Speaking of yellow backpacks, where was hers? She looked around the camp and found it... sitting right next to Naraku.
'Did he look through my stuff?! Oooooh! If I had guts, I'd totally tell him to mind his own belongings!'
Kagome huffed and slowly made her way towards the demon, who was now eying her with narrowed eyes. Why was he giving her that look?! It wasn't a very nice one either. When she bent down to pick her stuff up, his clawed hand reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"What are those items you have in that witches bag?" Naraku asked with thinned lips.
"Why were you going through my things in the first place?!" Kagome bit out.
"It fell over during the night, and multiple... things fell out."
"Well, obviously!I told you I wasn't from here, and you shouldn't go looking through people's things. It's rude you know!"
"You are treading on thin lines, woman.." Naraku tried to suppress the need to snarl and attack the poor human girl. He figured at that moment then and there, she truly was not from his time. He watched how her face hardened when she was angry, and seconds later, would be replaced with a completely different emotion. It was strange, and it drove him utterly insane.
Especially since he met her only the day before.
Maybe he should just drop her off with Inuyasha. Naraku smirked at the idea, picturing the mutt's reaction to this human female who was currently imploding. He felt the shake in the arm he held and released it.
"Go do your morning things."
"I was planning on it before you grabbed me!" Kagome let out a loud breath through her nose and snatched her things from the ground. She walked out of circular camp area before muttering, 'jerk.'
Naraku smirked. She was indeed very feisty.
Maybe instead of dropping her off at Inuyasha's, he could ditch her in the Western territory and let the Western Lord have her. He would never have to worry about such a problem then.
But where was the fun in that?
Maybe she became a much tolerable person when they weren't such strangers to each other.
Yes, maybe. But still... it wasn't much entertainment at all.
Naraku chuckled as his mind went into overdrive. He had to have his share of fun. Whether he had to be naughty or nice, he and Kagome were going to play a little game. She just wouldn't know it. Naraku chuckled under his breath and rotated the burning meet. He normally ate it raw, but he would show his manners in front of the female like the gentleman he was... sometimes.
Kagome walked through into the area and set her pack down.
"I feel much better!"
"I hope so."
"Mhm! When is the food going to be ready? I'm very hungry."
Naraku stood and grabbed the stick holding up the slab of meat. With his claws, he quickly sliced it down the middle and placed it on the elephant ear Kagome had not noticed earlier. He handed her the torn meat, and she accepted it with a thankyou.

The breeze seemed to pick up around the area, Kaede noticed. She felt two auras not too far away from the Goshinboku. She focused on the larger aura and narrowed her eyes. She had not felt it in quite some time. Not since Kikyo died. What did he want this time?
And the other presence.. her eyes widened. It felt.. familiar, way familiar. The aura tugged at her soul, called her.
'Kikyo? Have ye.. come back to the living?'
"Inuyasha."
"Yeah old hag, I feel it. They're coming this way."
"Where's Hoshimaru?"
"Training in the field."
Inuyasha sniffed the breeze coming in his direction and growled.
'Fuckin Naraku. What does that bastard want? He ain't got no business here.'
Inuyasha watched two figures emerge from the forest line and come into sight. Naraku looked the same as ever. But the only difference was a skinny human female who was dressed like a whore. He squinted his eyes to get a better look, and started from her legs. They were slightly tan, and very long. The green outfit she was wearing was nothing he had ever seen before. Who the hell was she?! His eyes traveled up, passing the red tie on her neck to her face. His eyes widened with each attribute he took in. Her long raven hair swayed the morning breeze and her eyebrow short bangs fluttered to each side with each step. Her thin pale face... her steel gray eyes... her chocolate eyes...nose.. lips.
All he could see was her. Nothing but her. Why was she here? Why were they here? Was Naraku playing some sick joke on him?
Inuyasha rushed forward without thinking, his claws reach out, itching for flesh.
"NARAKU! YOU BASTARD!"
He seen the smirk that formed on his lips at and sound of his name, and the corners of his eyes bled red.
He threw a punch aimed at Naraku's head and watched as he dodged, counterattacking at the same time. Inuyasha blocked with his arm and growled out deeply.
"Who the fuck is she?!"
"I came here hoping for similar answers mutt."
"Why does she look like Kikyo?!"
Naraku narrowed his eyes, his claws digging into Inuyasha arm, "If I knew the answer, what makes you think I would be here? Fool."
Kagome watched with wide eyes, from the moment the silver haired man with doggy ears charged at Naraku. She had a sinking feeling they were fighting over here, and frowned when he yelled, 'who the fuck is she!" Her eyes welled up with tears as she watched the half-ass battle between the two. Her grip tightened on the straps to her pack when said man looked at her and growled fiercely.
"Who are you?!"
Kagome backed up and stuttered, "K-kagome."
"Why do you look like Kikyo?!?" Inuyasha yelled.
'Kikyo!? Her again! Oooooh! I swear... if one more person asks me about this Kikyo woman!'
Kagome's eyebrows furrowed and her anger took control.
Naraku watched from the side, smirking. He knew Inuyasha was in for it.
"First! I. DON'T. KNOW. WHO. KIKYO. IS!!!!!!!" Kagome almost but yelled. "I'm NOT Kikyo! I'm Kagome! Ka-go-me! Get it straight!" Kagome's hands were plastered to her hips, and an angry look on her face.
"You! You bitch!" Inuyasha pointed his clawed finger at the girl. Words raced through his mind, but none came out. He suddenly turned away, his hair fluttering behind him, and lept of past the old woman who was just standing there. Said woman began walking towards Naraku and Kagome.
She nodded in Naraku's direction, and he nodded back.
"Aye child. Ye indeed look like my elder, deceased sister Kikyo who looks very much similar to ye-self. Her soul, resides within ye child. I can feel it. I assume ye are her reincarnation. That might explain why ye are here."
"Who was she?"
"Kikyo was the village Priestess. And Inuyasha's mate."
Kagome's eyes flicked over to Naraku, and watched as he turned his head away, a sneer upon his lips.
Kagome put two and two together, and her light bulb went off. Naraku must've been in love with this Kikyo person, but she was together with Inuyasha. She suddenly regretted saying that comment to Naraku. But it wasn't her fault! How was she to know that that happened?
"Come along child. I will give ye some clothing to wear. Ye cannot go around looking that that!"
Kagome nodded and began to follow behind the elderly woman into a decent sized hut. In the middle of the first room was a large fire with a cauldron placed over it. Kaede pushed past the thin paper mat into the next room, Kagome following silently.
When she entered the room, a little boy, no older than 10 was sitting down on a small bedding in the corner. On top of his short shiny black hair, were a pair of black ears... that twitched. She looked at his cute tan face, making contact with bright golden eyes.
'CUUUUUUTE!!'
Kagome grinned at the little boy, who scampered behind Kaede.
"Kaede-baachan! Who is that?" the little boy asked.
Kaede smiled at the boy and looked back at Kagome.
"She is a friend. Do not be shy, Hoshimaru.
"But Kaede-baachan! Why does she smell like me?"
"Oh?"
"Uh-huh!"
"I have not a clue child. But, go to your father, we need privacy."
"Aww! Do I have too?!" Hoshimaru whined.
"Aye."
"Okay! Bye miss lady!" Hoshimaru waved at Kagome and ran out of the room.
Kaede picked up a stack of neatly folded clothes from the floor and handed them to her.
"I shall be on the other side."
Kagome nodded and watched her leave, before unfolding the clothes. It was a Priestess' traditional outfit. Red. Kagome undressed from her school uniform and put on her robes. When she was done, she folded her clothes and set them in the same place as the Miko clothing before.
When she walked out of the room, four heads turned to look at her. Her cheeks heated up as everyone started at her. Naraku, in one corner, had wide eyes, while Inuyasha in another had even wider eyes and a gaping mouth. Kaede smiled before returning back to her pot of boiling soup with Hoshimaru next to her.
Inuyasha abruptly stood up, face red with anger.
"Take them off!"
Kagome was taken back. What?
"Excuse me?"
"Take those clothes off!"
"WHAT?!"

Heyheyhey! I got another chapter out, a lot sooner than I though. Heh heh! I hope you guys and gals enjoy the chapter! If there are any mistakes, let me know, it's around 2 am, so I'm kinda tired. I also wanted to ask my readers, should I fit Sesshoumaru in somehow? Like some wacky love triangle. I can't help it, heh, I'm such a HUGE Kagome/Sesshoumaru person, that writing a fic without those two together... seems really weird to me. Anyways, just a suggestion. All other suggestions are welcome as well, I will take each of them into consideration, so if you have a good idea(s) that you think I should add or would make the fic better, then please do so and tell me. Thankyou ALL so very much for the reviews. Till next time!
.erochan.
