Author's note:
Ok this chapter is a bit long. I wish to explain more here to open what is really going on now.
Hidden amongst us
Kiyo cried into her hands quietly. She didn't want to admit it but Soske was right. She went to stand but was taken aback by a large tentacle. She was suddenly slammed against a tree, "Naraku!" She yelled. The sky filled with black clouds and she was surrounded by a purple fog. Inuyasha and the others seen it from afar and began running toward it. Kiyo swung and cut off seven of Naraku's tentacles filling the air with dense, potent miasma. "Try as you might Kiyo but not even you can withstand my perfected miasma," Naraku laughed. Kiyo slid on her poison mask and threw her crescent blade. Naraku's tentacles wrapped around her when suddenly a pink light made them crumble. Kiyo swung and nearly had his head but only sliced his chest plate. Naraku observed hard and evaluated "Taking her head on won't work. I need a distraction," He thought looking around. Inuyasha used meido zangetsuha and blew half of Naraku's tentacles sky high. Naraku regenerated and swung hitting Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, and Kohaku into thick brush. He pulled of one of his tentacles and threw it where they landed and it fell on them pinning them down and it slowly started leaking miasma on them. Kiyo acted quickly while Naraku searched for her she used the wind scar to clear the area. Inuyasha coughed a bit of blood and grabbed Sango, Miroku, and Kohaku to pull them to safety. "Inuyasha, Naraku's miasma is much more potent now! Not even full fledged demons can with stand it long!" Kiyo yelled at him behind her poison mask. Finally catching a window Naraku attacked only to be hit with a poison that burst into flames on contact. He wrestled pulling off the burning tentacles and they quickly dissolved into miasma. Naraku fought again this time more aggressively, Kiyo dodged as much as she could and sliced what she couldn't to bits. Finally Naraku caught his break, his tentacles flew right passed Kiyo and she turned to see what he was aiming for. "Kagome, we have to get outta here!" Shippo yelled pulling her along. Kagome had inhaled to much miasma and it was taking it's toll. Kagome could barley walk let alone run. Kiyo ran hard as Inuyasha tried to distract Naraku, Kagome met eyes with Kiyo just as she pushed Kagome down. The tentacles wrapped around Kiyo. "That was easier than I expected," Naraku said loud enough for Inuyasha to hear. Inuyasha looked at Kiyo who was now struggling to break free, "You mean this was all a trap?" Inuyasha asked himself. Naraku wrapped a tentacle around Inuyasha and lifted him in the air, "Now watch Inuyasha, as the end begins now.". Inuyasha turned to Kiyo and wondered what was pulling at him to make him so angry, not just that all of this was Naraku but something deeper. Kiyo kept struggling and suddenly a smaller tentacle shot through her shoulder, "Ahhhhh!" She screamed in pain. Kagome's eyes darted to a light in her shoulder, it was flickering between light pink and purple. Kiyo struggled in pain her eyes rolled back and she couldn't scream any longer. Kagome pulled back her arrow and prayed, "Hit the mark!" she released it and it lit up Kiyo's whole arm.
Kiyo hit the ground and a small jewel floated above her. Naraku smirked and his tentacle reached for it but suddenly dance of the dragon disintegrated it. He looked at Kagura with distaste and asked, "Still willing to fight for them?". She smiled and swung her fan again. Kagome hit Naraku in the chest with an arrow and Sango through the hirakotsu, Miroku and Kohaku rushed to help Inuyasha. Cutting him loose they were nearly submerged in miasma. Kiyo was now standing but something wasn't right. She lunged at Naraku and cut his cheek and tore at his flesh. She continued till the whole area surrounding them was nothing but dead trees. Kiyo had stood back for a minuet and grabbed a demon puppetry idol from the remains and crushed it. She turned to the others and fell forward. She had relief that they were ok, if it hadn't been for them Naraku would have gotten the jewel.
Little did she know her worries were far from over. She clutched the ground and her pretty brown eyes were soulless, the gang was mortified and didn't know what to expect. Inuyasha and Kagura instructed that the others get to safety. Kiyo stood her eyes red smirked and her fangs and claws grew. Kagura opened her fan and Inuyasha drew tetsaiga. She ran toward them and slashed cutting Inuyasha in the chest, Kagura swung her fan creating enough wind to blow her back. Inuyasha went to use wind scar but was cut off by blades of blood. He was stunned because as a full demon Kiyo was still aware of her half demon abilities. She ran towards him and he caught her off guard by punching her in the face. Kagome remembered what it was like when Inuyasha turned to a full demon, violence didn't work it just made things worse. She hoped on Kirara and flew high above them, she thought of how "sit" worked on Inuyasha but this wasn't the case. She remembered hugging him but what could she do for this one. Kagura kept Kiyo at bay by using wind to keep her at a distance while Inuyasha fought her intensely. Not able to keep up any longer Kiyo pulled off her poison mask and the others panicked. Emerald and Ruby shielded everyone with a large barrier of jewels and Kiyo's demonic eyes closed as she took a deep breath. Inuyasha seeing this as his time to attack ran toward her but was suddenly thrown back he drove tetsaiga into the ground to keep from being blown away by Kiyo's attack. A loud roaring scream burst as Inuyasha drew near Kiyo and sent him flying Kagura had been thrown and knocked unconscious and after Kiyo finished she was suddenly on top of Inuyasha beating the crap out of him not able to sit back and watch Kagome had done the dumbest thing she thought of and jumped off of Kirara and yelled "Inuyasha!". She fell right on Kiyo knocking her back a few steps, she lay on her back Kagome pinning her to the ground. Kagome lifted her head fro Kiyo's chest to see her eyes return to their natural color and fill with tears. Kagome sighed a breath of relief as she put her head back down.
Inuyasha scolded Kagome, "Why did you do that? You could have been seriously hurt!". Kagome watched the distance and had enough of his yelling at her and faced him, "You know I didn't have to do it! I could have let her beat the crap out of you but I didn't don't I deserve a bit of thanks?" she yelled at him. His eyebrow twitched and he grabbed her forcing his lips against hers, he kissed her fiercely and so hard she could feel his canines against her lips. "Thank you," he whispered into her ear before letting her go. Kagome stumbled back to where Sango tended to Kiyo's wounds, Sango had gone to retrieve water and Kiyo was sitting up. Kiyo watched the distance and remembered her deep past.
"Kiyo, don't stay out to late alright?" a woman's voice called out to her. "Alright mother," She smiled holding a doll to her chest. "Evening young lady," a male voice said behind her. "Daddy!" She turned and jumped on him. He nuzzled her and she smiled. "Hey you two, time to come in," her mother said walking toward them. Kagome put her hand on Kiyo's shoulder, she jumped at her touch but relaxed just as quickly. There was so much Kagome wanted to ask her but decided it best not to. Kiyo looked at her and simply smiled, Kagome smiled back and returned to Inuyasha. "Be free lost butterfly," Kiyo thought as she laid back down.
