Title: His Cold Heart Her Warm Love
Summary: Everyone thought that Kagome was the purest miko of their time for purifying Inuyasha's broken heart, but Kikyo disagrees. They make a little wager that Kikyo finds repulsive but she wants to prove Kagome for the whore she is. What happens when she falls in love? Written in third and first person.
Ch 7: Naraku Appears
Not even about three miles and Kagome has been complaining. It was getting on Sesshoumaru's nerves but he had to contain his composure. Rin was sleeping on Kikyo's back. Jaken was afraid to say anything in thought of that Sesshoumaru would smite him. Kikyo could careless she ignored it.
Kaori on the other hand was fed up with it. She walked up to Kagome, "Here let me give you something to really complain about."
Everyone in question turned to watch what she met. Kaori slapped Kagome across the face. Jaken praised Kaori in his head. Kagome was left speechless as they kept on walking. Kagome finally realized what had happened and she threw Kaori to the ground.
Kaori grabbed Kikyo's leg and yanked her to the floor. Kagome fell flat on her butt and whined. Kagome grasped Kaori's hair and yanked it from side to side. Kaori jumped on Kagome and they both just threw random punches, bites, and slaps. Sesshoumaru was fed up with everyone, "Stop right now!"
Kikyo looked at Sesshoumaru and everyone stopped right I their tracks. Kagome and Kaori dusted themselves off and stood up. Sesshoumaru stared evilly at them. It sent shivers down their spine.
Before Sesshoumaru could start on and yell about Kikyo grabbed his shoulder, "We should set rest for a bit."
Sesshoumaru growled and rudely brushed Kikyo's hand off his shoulder. This made Kagome snicker. Frankly Kikyo didn't care. She gently grabbed Rin from her back and set the sleeping girl down. They waited until Kagome and Kaori were situated then they continued again.
Rin had woken up and was holding Kikyo's hand. Kagome was on the left of Sesshoumaru and Kaori was on the right. Kikyo was in the back with Jaken and Rin. Kikyo had no concern for the bet. Right now with a big crowd like this, Rin's safety mattered.
Sundown was near and everyone was getting tired. Sesshoumaru let the others start a camp for tonight. Kagome went for wood. Kaori was I charged with food. Kikyo stayed with Sesshoumaru and watched Rin. But Rin wanted to help with camp so she ran off to help catch the food. Jaken insisted on staying but hi Lord demanded he watch Rin. The toad demon thought that only the priestess was suppose to watch Rin.
There was an odd silence, "SO, what are we searching for?"
"If you must know. We are searching for the jewel shards."
Shock surrounded Kikyo's thoughts, "Why?!"
"None of your business," he scolded
She got up and walked away. She stopped. She was in front of a barrier. She backed up a bit. She went to touch it with her hand but she questioned herself. Ignoring her own doubt she touched it and her hand went pass.
She smirked. Her miko powers allowed her to penetrate any barrier. But who put up this barrier she was worried about. Walking through she was overwhelmed with the aura of Naraku. She thought about going back for Sesshoumaru. She shrugged it off. Continuing, she traveled to the source of the aura.
It reeked of rotting flesh and old blood. She wanted to puke, but she was somewhat used to it. She saw a man pass by. She was certain it was Naraku.
"Naraku show your pitiful self!"
Seconds later a vile laugh rung through her ears. She turned around and Naraku was sitting there. She went to grab her bow and arrows, nothing. She left her weapons with Sesshoumaru. Cursing herself she backed up from Naraku.
"Why Kikyo, is this how you greet me?"
"Noting but the worst for you."
He let out a laugh at her useless joke. Coming closer to her she flinched at every hand movement he made, "Don't be afraid Kikyo…. I won't hurt you much."
She stood her ground. She knew he could sense her tiny amount of fear. He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her close. She tried to fight back, but the amount of jewel shards he using it was hopeless. Grabbing her in am embrace she felt disgusted. Squirming and pushing he held her in a tight lock.
"Why don't you just kill me already," she yelled.
"No, you got your life back. You are worth more now that you have a heart and fresh blood running through your veins."
Naraku grabbed her chin. She had no choice but to look at him as he studied her.
"Why Kikyo, your beauty has doubled now that your alive. So much that I could have you right here. But a kiss would do just as fine."
She gasped and really tried to escape. He caught her mouth with his chapped lips. Pushing his tongue through her lips. She bit his tongue and zapped him with most of her spiritual powers. He screeched and tossed her. Using her powers rendered her weak.
"That kiss was lovely Kikyo, but next time I'll steal more than just a kiss. But for now I shall take my leave."
He brushed her cheek with his hand and disappeared. Her power has definitely doubled now that she was living. She stood up the best she could. The bodies of dead villagers have disappeared with Naraku. The fresh air attacked her nose. She grabbed a tree for support.
She made her way back to camp. Everyone stared at her weak state. Sesshoumaru and Jaken stared at her questionly and angrily. Rin handed her the cooked fish they saved for her. She generously took it and bit small pieces of it. Soon after their meal Kagome, Rin, and Kaori drifted off to sleep. Kikyo sat in silence trying to ignore the hateful gaze of Sesshoumaru.
By surprise Sesshoumaru grabbed her wrist dragged her about 10 yards away and picked her up off the ground. She whined as he crushed her wrist, "What is the meaning of this?!"
Jaken joined the noble dog demon side. The smell of Naraku disgusted him. His sent was all over her body. In the period of time Kikyo was gone he wondered what happened between them.
"You filthy whore! We all thought you despised Naraku. Then here you are having sex with him," Jaken scolded.
The news shocked Kikyo. Tears formed in her eyes. 'Is this what Sesshoumaru is mad about,' she wondered.
The words Kikyo, Naraku, and sex in the same sentence struck Sesshoumaru. It hurt him to here that.
"Ki… Miko, did you or did you not have sexual contact with Naraku."
Jaken might have not noticed but Kikyo could capture the slight pain in his voice. It hurt her bad that she hurt the proud dog demon. It also hurt her how he thought she had sexually been with Naraku.
"No, I did not," she said with confidence.
Sesshoumaru dropped her. He motioned for Jaken to leave and go check up on Rin and stay there. The demon toad left. Sesshoumaru turned his back to Kikyo. He didn't leave nor did he spare a look at her.
"If you are working with Naraku I will have no choice but to kill you. I wont spare you your life nor will I listen to Rin's plead of saving your worthless life."
Kikyo stood up. With hesitance she wrapped her arms around Sesshoumaru's back and held on tight. Sesshoumaru was shocked at first but did nothing to show it. He tensed up.
"Sesshoumaru… mi Lord… I swear I have no relations going on between Naraku. He tried to rape me. Now more than anyone I want to destroy him. But what makes me scream inside and hate myself is that I have hurt you and I can tell."
Her grip tightened. "It did not hurt me one bit if you were having sexual affairs with him."
She let go. She did not love him she hoped. But her heart was aching as if she did love him. He did not lover her and she was sure. She was also sure that maybe Kagome might just win and take away everything from her. She headed back to camp. Sesshoumaru just sat there. He grabbed where her hands had been on his stomach. Her sweet bellflower sent still lingered with him.
He shook his head to rid of these feelings and thoughts and headed back to camp.
