No Ordinary Princess

Chapter 7

Kikyou's Destruction (Reuploaded!)

~*~*~* I know it took long enough, but I was sticking to the whole I want five reviews thing. Well, four will have to do. FOR NOW! Don't give up on this story, the more you complain the more I update. Lol. No. I really appreciate reviews because that's where I get most of my inspiration from. *~*~*~*~

Queen Evanes was on the floor, she had fainted from the shock of InuYasha's public announcement. Kikyou was furiously glaring at Kagome. Her miko aura flared and fought against the weaker auras of the humans surrounding her and the queen. She pushed through and saw that InuYasha was leaving. With her.

"Come on, wench. Don't worry about the babbling bitch," said InuYasha as he pulled her after him.

"Who said anything about Kikyou??? I was talking about your mom," said Kagome insistently pulling back towards the crowd.

"Exactly whom I was talking about."

"What kind of son are you???"

Inuyasha ignored her comments and continued to gently pull her away from the evergrowing crowd. She wouldn't budge. He whipped around at the sudden feeling of a large aura near him. He looked at Kagome, hands in front of her, what seemed to be a barrier in front of her and a large energy ball in front of her. Her barrier was weaker than the ball of energy, but it was strong nevertheless. He quickly stepped behind her and interloped his fingers in between hers. The energy inside of her was amazing. He felt as if he were entering her soul. He calmness inside of it was just amazing. As if there were some sort of beach, the soothing sounds of the ocean, no disruptions. Not even ripples in the water. He sat down, crosslegged, and started to meditate. It seemed like the most natural thing in the world to sit there in silence and try to collect as much energy as possible and give it to her. ~I never knew that being so calm around somebody was possible…~

Kagome noticed that she had some sort of barrier, and that she was the one that was producing it. She watched as Kikyou threw an energy ball the size of Buyo, her cat, at her. ~I can't die because she wants me to!~ She knew she couldn't keep it up for long. Especially since she didn't know how the hell she was doing it in the first place. She felt InuYasha envelop her in some sort of hug. A sudden warmth spread through her. Small shocks of electricity flowed through her very being. She could feel him inside of her thoughts, her soul, giving her the energy and knowledge she so lacked. From his very childhood to the very person that stood behind her, from the first lesson to the last one. She learned them all. So much energy inside of her and she wanted to release it. ~I must… Must release all…~

Kagome let down the barrier and opened her eyes. She silently whispered, but she kenw everybody could hear her.

"Die bitch."

She thrust her hands forward. Her dress tore at some places from the sheer force and all of the wind it was throwing back at her. The light blinded most of the people, but InuYasha knew exactly what happened. Kagome had reached into his very being. She knew every bit of him as he knew every bit of her. Kikyou was gone, or was she? Kagome left him and walked to where a rumpled figure lay in a small heap. She turned her over and slapped her harshly. The sound resounded through the huge ballroom. People shuddered, other's backed up a couple of steps. Kikyou woke up and growled at Kagome.

"Stop growling. Kikyou ne baka. Mother always said that what goes around comes around. I came back. You got what you deserved for fooling a loving family, and for trying to marry a married man. Now, he isn't stuck in an awful form. It's quite beautiful. But you won't know that, now will you?"

Inuyasha silently blushed and tried to hide his face. Miroku snickered behind him, knowing that he wouldn't let his friend live that one down. Kikyou growled again and tried to throw an energy ball. Her fingers enclosed around air, nothing but air.

"What did you DO?!"

"Well," said a grinning Kagome, "you see, I not only disarmed you but I succesfully took your miko powers away from you. You can thank my husband for his wisdom."

"Your husband? You may have taken my heritage, but not what is rightfully mine."

Kagome was about to burst out with an argument when InuYasha grabbed her by the waist and began to walk away. Miroku intervened in the conversation looking as serious as ever. InuYasha pulled Kagome up the stairs and Kagome was struggling in his hold to go back and kick Kikyou's ass to show her who she truly was. He pulled her nonetheless and he was too strong for her to pull back from. She gave up when they were on the second floor and walking along the endless hallways. ~Where are we going?~

"I dare say Lady Kikyou, that you've lost this battle. InuYasha was married to my childhood friend since they were small children. The rings are merely symbolic."

"That 'K' could easily stand for my name."

"But it doesn't. Everybody knows that InuYasha's maiden's name was, is, Kagome. They all thought she was dead, hence the marriage to somebody else. Yet, she is alive and in InuYasha's arms… I dare suggest that you leave the castle my lady. You have no business here, as for the queen… I'll talk to her."

Kikyou pushed herself off the ground and limped out of the castle. Once outside she fell onto the wet grass, the night was cold and most of the guests were still inside, gossiping about the happenings. About her.

"So this is what happened huh? I told you that your plan would fail," said a dark figure, stoicly standing before Kikyou, "Why didn't you listen to me? Fetch her Kouga, I have matters to attend to."

The wolf demon picked up Kikyou and instantly disappeared. The dark figure chuckled heavily and disappeared, his laugh still echoing through the dark courtyard.

"Queen Evanes, might I have the pleasure of speaking to you in private?"

"You knew about this didn't you?! She's back. Now we have NO chance of gaining the empire!"

Miroku grabbed her by the arm and harshly shoved her into a nearby room. Seeing it was empty he started speaking to her in hushed tones, so that no guest could hear their conversation.

"You forget Lady Evanes that I am the holder of said empire. I was named the holder after Kagome was pronounced dead. I still hold it in my power."

"Then you could easily give it to us. Miroku, for the sake of the friendship you've had with my son, give us that land!"

"I am dearly sorry to say no. That land belongs to InuYasha's wife, and InuYasha himself. Not to you. I'm sure they'll be moving out to their home soon enough. Enjoy your son while he's still here…"

Miroku calmly left leaving a shocked queen behind him. Her hands went to her face, trying to cover her tears. ~My son… He… he's married… I won't be able to control his wife… I'm going to lose my son. No, I must make sure that they separate. One way or another…~

~*Does conspiracy say anything to you? I thought so…*~
