Chapter Four
Plan gone very wrong
a/n rated M for rape scene and further violence.
That night, Naraku was very angry. Kikyo was nowhere to be found. He knew where she was. Spying on Asim, most likely. She's been in a foul mood since they'd married nearly two nights ago.
Naraku heard a noise and looked up. Kikyo was walking thru the door. "Where have you been?"
"I need not answer to you, Naraku. I answer to no one."
"But if I was Prince Asim, you would come running!" He stood up and pushed her against the wall. "You will be my wife, willing or not!" He forcibly kissed her, pushing her to the bed. He ripped her tunic off, ignoring her screams. He tightly squeezed her breasts.
"Stop it, Naraku!"
His response was a slap to her face. He continued to assault on her breasts. He parted her thighs and entered her. She was dry and unready for his large member. She felt pain tearing her apart. Naraku pulled out of Kikyo before he felt himself come. He positioned himself at the head of the bed and forced her mouth open with one hand while pumping himself with the other. He stuck his large member in her mouth, causing her gag reflex to kick in. Kikyo tried to scream, however her inaudible moans turned on Naraku. He pumped faster. He finally came inside Kikyo's mouth. Kikyo had wanted to throw up, but had no choice to swallow his seed.
Afterward, as Kikyo laid on the edge of the bed shivering and crying, Naraku looked down at her. In the eyes of the gods, she was now his wife. The marriage was now consummated.
"Dear wife, You and I have the same problem." He traced a finger down her arm. "I could take care of the little hand maiden for you."
Kikyo looked up at him. "If I do what?"
"Take care of Miroku."
"Why should I?"
"If I take care of the little hand maiden. Asim will take you back as his lover. If you take care of Miroku, you will be rid of me. For I will be a high priest of Anubis. Either way, you'll be rid of me and be back in Asim's bed."
"What do I need to do?"
"Interested?"
"Only to get rid of you. What will you tell the Pharaoh? He sanctioned this marriage."
"I will tell him that I've tired of you. You are no longer worthy of me. You and I are both skilled archers. Tomorrow, you kill Miroku, and I will kill the little hand maiden who has captured your prince's heart."
Kikyo sat up and looked at Naraku. She smiled a little sinister smile. "I think it's a very good idea. I'll provide the bows and arrows, dear husband, You provide the alibis for us in case questions are asked."
The next morning, the sun shone over the Nile as the servants began preparations for that day's festivities. Their prince was finally taking a wife that would unite Thebes with Memphis. Anubis was smiling down on them.
Meanwhile, Asim was talking to Miroku. "I don't love Ojufeme, Miroku. I love Kagome. I'm going to tell Ojufeme the truth today at the boat race."
"Do really think that's a wise idea, Asim? After all you'll have your father and hers to deal with."
"Yes. I'll tell her that Inuyasha doesn't exist, that he is really Prince Asim. And that Prince Asim is really the priest Miroku. She deserves to hear the truth."
While Asim was confiding in Miroku, Ojufeme was confiding in Sango.
"Sango, what do I do? I love the priest Inuyasha, not Asim."
"Tell him the truth, after all he deserves to hear it from you."
"you're right, Sango. I'll tell Asim that the hand maiden Kagome is really Ojufeme, and that the one he thinks is Ojufeme is really the hand maiden Sango."
With her mind made up, Ojufeme, disguised as Kagome, went to meet the priest who had captured her heart.
The boat that was to carry the royal couple and the hand maiden and priest was decked out in royal splendor. The royal color blue, Asim's chosen color, shone brilliantly in the sunlight. The people cheered the couple as they boarded the boat.
As the boat set sail on the Nile, Asim turned to Ojufeme. "Kagome, I have something I need to tell you."
"And there is something I must tell you, Inuyasha."
"Please, go ahead."
"I'm not actually a hand maiden, I'm really…" Ojufeme screamed in pain. Asim saw what happened. An arrow pierced her shoulder. She fell overboard. Sango jumped in after her. "Princess! I'm coming."
Suddenly, Miroku had pushed Asim out of the way. He fell to the floor of the boat clutching his stomach. Another arrow. "Miroku! Are you okay?"
"I'm okay, Your Highness."
By this time, Sango had pulled Ojufeme back into the boat. "Princess? Can you speak to me?"
"Sango? Are you okay?"
"Always putting others ahead of yourself, My lady? Why doesn't that surprise me?"
Asim had heard the conversation. "Wait a second. You're the hand maiden? Then Kagome is.."
Ojufeme spoke up. "I'm sorry, Inuyasha. I'm the real Ojufeme. Sango traded places with me. I didn't mean to deceive you. Please forgive me. I can't marry Asim as you have stolen my heart."
Asim started laughing. He held Miroku's bloodied hand.
"What's so funny?"
"I'm the real Prince Asim. Miroku here, is my body guard. I was going to tell Ojufeme that I couldn't marry her because I was in love you."
Miroku groaned. Sango placed a cool hand on his head. "He's burning up. We have to get him to the physician."
"Guards!"
"Yes, Prince Asim?"
"Turn us around and head back to the dock. Princess Ojufeme and the priest Miroku have been wounded." He pulled the arrow out of Miroku's stomach. This arrow was familiar. He handed the guard the arrow. "Find out who this arrow belongs to and have them brought before the Pharaoh." He looked down to Miroku. "My dear friend, you've been more of a brother than Sesshomaru has. This isn't the first time you've come in between me and death. I will avenge this no matter what. As for you, Sango, you will be honored for the rescue of my bride to be. No one knows of the switches but us. Let us keep it that way. Kag..I mean Ojufeme, Are you okay?"
"Yes Inuyasha…I mean Asim. My shoulder hurts."
"We're near the port. I will make sure you both get the proper attention you deserve."
