Ok, well I had a really hard time getting the last chapter up...I was about to cry I was so upset. But it's all good, because that means if I'm putting this one up that I got the other one up too! I was also having a hard time deciding what this chapter was going to contain. But I finally decided! Yay! Plus the computer I've been using to type up all my chapters is being stupid. So, here it is! Read and review please!We didn't quite make it to 60 yet, but I reaaally wanted to add this chapter!!! Enjoy!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or anything! And I'm not happy about it, but I'll live! Because I own an Inuyasha story! All mine! But I don't own the characters that are in it...so do I still technically own it? -sniffles-

Chapter Nine: Kikyou's Plan

Kagome woke up in a warm, comfortable place. She remembered passing out from exhaustion in the forest after healing Inuyasha and Shippou. She soon became alert of her surroundings. She noticed where she was, in Inuyasha's lap. She blushed and got up quietly. She didn't want to wake anyone up. Once again Miroku had somehow made his way to Sango's side. His hand was close to her butt again, but this time Kagome left it there. He would pay, though he never did learn.

She put Shippou at Sango's side near Kirara. She let her eyes rest on the half-demon in the corner. He looked peaceful, almost angelic. Who would know that he was a complete devil when he was awake? She snickered to herself and walked out of the hut. She thought to herself about yesterday's happenings as she walked around the village. Why did that demon kidnap Shippou but not hurt him? Was he waiting for her? What did he want?

Kagome woke up from her thoughts and found herself at a stream. The water looked inviting and she could see fish swimming gracefully in the shallow end of the crystal clear water. She rolled up her pant legs high, showing off her well-toned legs. She rolled up her sleeves and hopped into the water. The nearby fish swam away quickly, but few of them weren't fast enough. Kagome grabbed them and threw them far away from the water so they could not make their way back. They would be breakfast for the gang today. She skinned and de-boned them. She made a small camp fire to cook them with. She looked up when she hear someone approaching. She saw inuyasha rubbing his eyes sleepily. He looked like a child. All he needed was a little teddy bear hanging limply out of one of his hands. She giggled at the sight.

"Good morning, Inuyasha," she said cheerfully, "My do we look tired!"

"Why are you so happy?" he growled gumpily.

"I'm happy that everyone is ok and alive," she said still smiling.

"Whatever," he said sitting next to the fire. He smelt the fish and greedily leaned over to pick several up for himself. His hand was slapped away by Kagome.

"Hey! What was that for!?" he yelled rubbing his hand.

"Only two are for you, and they are not done yet!" she exclaimed, frusterated on how selfish he could be. "Don't be selfish!"

"Yes mother," he mumbled sarcasticaly.

She laughed lightly then went back to cooking the fish for her friends. They were done in a few minutes. Kagome handed Inuyasha two fish which he was done in seconds. He yet again made a grab for a few more. She pulled them out of his reach.

"Hey!" he said, pouting like a child.

"If you want more, go catch some and cook them yourself," she scolded.

"I like the way you make them," he mumbled so only he could hear. He forgot that Kagome had better hearing than he did. She smiled at the comment. "Thanks Inuyasha, I'll make you some more later if you want, but you have to be nice to me."

"Feh," he said turning around, blushing slightly.

She brought the fish to the others who were just now waking up. She asked Shippou how he was feeling as she handed him the fish.

"I'm fine now, momma. All thanks to you!" he replied cheerfully.

The others thanked her for the fish and went about their day. Miroku flirted with the village woman while Sango followed him, glaring daggers at him back. Miroku would turn to look at her then run away. But Sango would always find him with another girl. Kirara played with Shippou and the other children of the village.

Kagome returned to the river to find Inuyasha falling head first into the lake after diving for a fish. She laughed her heart out, it was too funny. He came back up from under the water and glared at the laughing Kagome.

"What the hell are you laughing at?" he said coldly, but only because he was embarrassed.

"You look too funny!" Kagome exclaimed.

He got out of the water with much effort. All the water weighing down his haori added another fifty pounds he had to lift. Normally lifting that much weight was no problem, but he wasn't expecting it to be that heavy, and it was weighing down his whole body. He almost fell back in the water. He stood at the edge looking like a wet dog, which in truth, he was. Kagome laughed and walked up close enough for him to back right up to the edge of the river.

Kagome put a finger on his chest and loked at him daringly, "Should I?"

Inuyasha's eyes grew wide. He looked back at the water and gulped. He looked at Kagome with pleading eyes, "No. Please, no. I'll be good!"

Sango and Miroku were attracted by the loudness of Kagome laughing and approached the two demons smiling. Kagome had Inuyasha pinned between her and the river. On step back he'd be an extremely wet dog and a step forward, well, he didn't want that.

Kagome looked thoughtful, "Ok Inuyasha as long as you're nice."

"Good, now move before I fall," he said being bossy. he instantly regretted saying it. Kagome's smirk turned into a scowl, "I thought I said be nice," she said pushing his into the water. He grabbed her shirt and pulled her in with him. She let out a quick yelp before being ingulfed by the water.

Miroku walked up to the edge and looked in the water. Sango came quickly up behind him and shoved him into the water. The water was now murky because of the mud that had been previously undesturbed was being kicked around. Inuyasha and Kagome were in the deeper waters pushing each other under the water, having fun. Miroku had disappeared into the water and had not come up for water yet. Sango panicked and leaned over the edge to see if she could find him. A hand splashed out and grabbed her hand that had been steadying her so she would not fall in.

Shippou, who had wandered near when he heard the joyful laughter, happily jumped into the water. Kirara, being a cat, stayed far away. The gang played in the water until the mid-afternoon. They came out and shivered. It was getting cold out. They rushed to Kaede's hut to warm up around the fire. They entered the hut and sat down. Inuyasha, being an idiot, shook like a wet dog would near the fire, ultimately putting it out. The rest of the gang yelled at him, so he went out to get more firewood.

Once Inuyasha was gone Kagome decided that she would go train. She got up and brushed her haori free of dirt. An advantage of this haori was intead or being immune to fire, like Inuyasha's, hers repelled water. Ony her hair was still wet.

"Sango, do you know a good place where I could train my new powers? A place where there are a lot of demons?" Kagome asked itching to test her new powers. It was only her second day with them and she had barely used them. Too bad all the stronger demons were killed in their travels.

"Umm, I think there's a cave filled with hundreds strong demons South of here, but it's pretty far," Sango said remembering going there once when they had kidnapped Kohaku. At the thought of Kohaku, Sango's heart hurt. Once they had defeated Naraku, she had to remove the jewel shard from his back. He died immediately and was burried at the Demon Slayer village the next day. It was a sad day that would always haunt Sango's mind. Luckily she had her friends to get her through it.

"Thank you, I will be back at sundown. Please tell Inuyasha," Kagome said running out of the hut and towards the South.

"Be careful," Sango yelled after her.

"Oh my, I should have given her the necklace," Kaede said coming out of her little room just as Kagome ran out.

The way there was rough. She had to climb several mountains and swim across several lakes. She wished she could fly like Kirara, then getting there would be no problem. She got there in an hour of running non-stop. When entering the cave she was instantly attacked by hundreds of demons. She mostly used her Inmetsu to slash them, then decided to use something different. She sheathed them quickly and used her claws. She slashed accurately at the demons and killed them everytime.

Soon a demon snuck up behind her while she was busy attcking two in front of her. Her claws extended and became a whip like line. She spun in a circle killing many demons at a time. When her claws turned into her normal claws she stopped for a second as she let the demons get closer. Her claws glowed a deep green, just as Seshoumaru's Poison Claws did. She must have inherited both attacks from him. She decided to concentrate her priestess powers into her claws. They began to glow and sparkle. The changed into a glowing pink colour. She could feel them surging with purifying powers. She swiped at the air in front of her. A bright pink barrier appeared before her and all the demons who touched it were instantly purified. She like this attack. She sensed another presence behind her other then the demons in the cave. It had a smell of spices, and she recognised it as Sesshoumaru. He was watching her fight. She did not let him know that she knew of his presence. She decided to show off a little.

She once again used the Whip attack and the Poison Claws. She put more power into them this time. The whip became thick and longer. It cut many of them in half. She added her priestess powers to it and it purified anything it touched. She shot acid spikes at the demons (an: Like she did in the first movie when she was attcking Inuyasha) and they screeched in pain as it melted them. She smirked in satisfaction. She ran out of ideas and had no idea what else to do so she decided to leave.

Kagome turned around and put up a barrier so she wouldn't get attacked from behind. She saw Sesshoumaru standing there and acted suprised to see him there. "Oh Sesshoumaru," she said bowing lowly to show her respect for him. His face was still emotionless but she could see a look of appreaciation appear slightly in his face. She smiled at him, "I didn't know you were there," she lied.

"Do not take me for a fool. You are a great demon that could probably sense me from miles away," he said coldy, but let a small smirk appear on his face, "Plus, you are a terrible lyer."

Kagome felt embarrassed, how could she underestimate Sesshoumaru? He was very smart and could not be fooled easily. Her embarrassment turned to happiness, "Can I train with you?"

"No," he said simply as he watched demon after demon run into her barrier, purifying them. How stupid they are, you think they would learn after a while. He soon got bored and turned to walk away. He heard a rustly of clothes behind him. He looked back and she was gone. He shrugged his shoulders slightly and calmly walking out.

When he reached the bottom of the mountain he felt as if something was wrong. He ran towards Rin sensing a demon in her presence. When he got there, he found her playing with a small white demon puppy. She laughed like there was no tomorrow when the puppy tried to jump but tripped over its own legs. He unsheathed his Tokijin and ran towards the puppy. Rin screamed as he slashed at the tiny animal. The demon changed into a familiar being, he sighed inaudibly. Leave me alone!

"Kagome!" Rin said running up to hug the tall demon. "You are a demon now! Look Sesshoumaru, it's Kagome!" she yelled pointing out the obvious.

"Priestess, if you do not leave, I will be forced to kill you," he said almost looking annoyed. His voice gave all it all away.

"Well then, if I don't leave will you fight with me?" she said slyly. She looked at the sky, at the position of the sun. It was almost set. She told Sango that she would be back by sunset. "You know what, I'll come find you tomorrow. I have to go."

That girl is becoming a nuisance, Sesshoumaru thought to himself. She was very similar to him before he grew cold. He used to be slightly annoying when he wanted something from a loved one. He was bubbly and was always itching for a fight. But that was then and this was now. He did not care about what he was back then. He watched her as she ran into the distance and tured to walk away. Rin followed him faithfully, humming to herself. Where is the toad thing? he thought looking around for Jaken. He was nowhere to be seen. Oh well.

With Inuyasha

Inuyasha got back to the camp after finding more fire wood. He looked around the hut and found no Kagome.

"Where's Kagome?" he asked Sango.

"Training," she said simply, not looking up from her polishing of the Hiraikotsu.

"Where?" he asked. He had no intention in going after, he just wanted to know for the sake of knowing.

"The Demon Cave," she answered.

Silence took over the group of friends.the only sound heard was the crackle of the fire and the sound of Shippou sleeping. It stayed like that for a few minutes before Inuyasha got up.

"I'm going to take a walk," he said walking out of the hut. He walked out of the hut and wandered into the forest. He looked around at the forest named after him, Inuyasha's forest. It was a beautiful forest, full of life, plants and animals alike. He let his feet do the thinking as he walked slowly taking in heis surroundings. He sniffed the air and caught a familiar smell. He changed his path and headed towards the smell. He found himself at the God Tree. Sniffing the air once again, the smell was all over the place. he looked around for her but found nothing.

"Inuyasha," he heard a cold voice call his name from up in the tree. He sprang his head quickly upwards and saw Kikyou sitting, looking down at him.

"Kikyou," he whispered, yet it did not hold the love it did before he met Kagome.

"I see you no longer say my name with love, Inuyasha," she said in her monotone voice. "But will you still come to hell with me? You told me that after you avenge my death by killing Naraku, that you would come."

"I know I did, but that was before. I no longer feel that I have to, I have a life to live. You, you're dead. You've served your purpose already. You go on ahead without me," he said looking deep into the eyes he onced loved.

"I see. Is it because of my reincarnation?" she asked coldy.

"Yes," Inuyasha said. He did not want to discuss this with Kikyou of all people.

"I can sense a new power in the area. Is that my reincarnation?" she asked. Her voice sent cold shivers down his spine.

"She does have a name you know. It's Kagome," he commented.

"I know, but I do not wish to call her that," she said, voice filled with ice.

Inuyasha said nothing, he watched her gracefully get down from the tree and approach him. "Will you give me one last kiss before we go?"

Inuyasha tried to speak, but found he could not. She had put a spell on him. She stood on her tippy toes and kissed him hard. He felt himself kiss back, though he did not want to. The Kikyou he used to know would not do this. This was not Kikyou. her lips were ice cold, the feeling of death came from them. And her breath stunk like crap. (an: Imagine you've been dead for 50 years, right? I'm sure they don't have toothbrushes in the afterlife, so wouldn't her breath stink? Think about it with you read the rest of my chapter. lol)

He felt the ground slowly begin to suck him in. She was dragging him into hell and he was alone. He could not escape. No one else were around. Inuyasha was able to open his eyes and he saw Kagome standing to his left. A pained look came to his face, the kind that told someone that you didn't like what was happening. He felt his face twist until there was no emotion left in it.

With Kagome

Kagome traveled once again over the moutains and through the woods. She tried jumping across the lakes, and almost made it but she ended up falling in each time. She could smell Kikyou's rotten scent from a mile away. What worried her was inuyasha's scent was with her. She ran to the woods to the place they were most likely to be. The God Tree. (an: Omg, I actually felt like saying The Deku Tree. Anyone remember that from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time? Best game ever!!)

She came out into the clearing and saw Kikyou and Inuyasha in each others arms. They were busy in a passionate kiss. She could feel tears forming in her eyes. They finally ended it, and Inuyasha looked at Kagome. He didn't turn his head yet she could see his eyes. They were fogged over, as if he was in a spell. Kikyou was using her spiritual powers to paralys Inuyasha to drag him into hell. the look in his eyes were asking her to help him. She saw what little emotion that was left in his eyes fade away. She had to help him.

She ran upto Inuyasha and pulled him out of the hole. Kikyou flew out of the hole and smirked. her plan had worked. Inuyasha shook his head waking up from the spell but passed out.

The gateway to hell pulled the closest thing into it's grip desperate to ingulfe someone. Kagome felt herself become paralysed. She felt herself being pulled into the hole. She was being pulled into hell. She did not like this. She struggled but it just pulled her down faster. It reminded her of the time her and her father when into a safari and she got caught in the quicksand. She was being pulled inot nothingness, and the more she tried to escape, the faster it pulled.

She was down up to her head. She started to cry. She desperately called Inuyasha, who was still unconscious.

"INUYASHA!" she screamed, completely terrified. he woke up in adaze. He looked around only to see Kagome, crying like there was no tomorrow. The only part of her that wasn't in hell was from the eyes up and arms now. He ran towards her just as the rest of her head was pulled under. He grabbed her arm and pulled with all his might.

"KAGOME!" he screamed.

Kikyou watched from her little corner and laughed silently. After the girl was in hell, Inuyasha would be all hers. Her plan had worked well.
