Two Hearts Chapter 10 - Evil Begins It's Dance
---------At a small village--------------------------------------------------------------------
The sun was just begining to sink below the ridge of the hills to the west, dusk cast it's lengthening shadows across the world, the rays of light stretching and weakening as night tightened it's grip upon the sky. In the failing light, in a small village nestled in a quiet forest, a demon stirred. In a dark home at the edge of the village, he waited, surrounded by the corpses of the family who dwelled there.
She had said she'd wanted to make a deal, to wait for her here, but he hated waiting. He should simply kill her. As he nodded slightly to himself he caught a scent, it was faint, similar to that of a very old corpse. Bones and graveyard soil. She was here. The demon opened his crimson eyes slowly, he lifted his pale hand to brush the long black hair from his face, a dangerous yet seductive smile appeared as his gaze fell upon the woman in the doorway. Her long hair, black as ebony, chocolate eyes, and beautifully slender body. She hadn't changed, of course, and she never would.
"Well Kikyo," he said, "you called me here, what deal could you possible want to make with me?"
Kikyo fixed him with a gaze that clearly spoke her disgust.
"Don't act as if you aren't interested," she said, "We both know that isn't true... Naraku."
Naraku's smile faded.
"Very well," he snapped, "What is this deal you want to make then?"
Kikiyo smiled, a hard and cruel look flashing in her eyes.
"I want you to do something for me, Naraku," She said, "And in exchange, I'll give you my little re-incarnation... gift wrapped."
"And what is it that you want me to do?" Naraku asked, his eyes already glazed with anticipation.
Kikyo stepped forward, her bare feet gingerly avoiding the corpses laying on the floor, until she was standing directly in front of him.
"I want you to capture Inu Yasha." She said simply.
Naraku's eyes narrowed.
"Is that all?" He asked.
Kikyo smiled again. She lifted her hand and held it out to Naraku. In her palm was a small vial filled with an irridecent yellow liquid.
"I want you to make him drink this." She said, "As soon as he does he will fall asleep, when that happens, deliver him to me. Do this, and I will give you Kagome."
"And how do I know that you will fulfill your end of our deal?" Naraku said.
"Don't worry," Kikyo replied, "I have already set that part of the deal in motion."
Naraku looked Kikyo up and down as he thought over her deal. He had been coveting the young miko, Kagome, for some time. Capturing the half breed and forcing him to drink the yellow liquid would not be a problem, the hanyou had proved numerous times that he would fall into the simplest of traps, but Naraku didn't see why he shouldn't get more for his troubles.
"Very well, Kikyo," Naraku said, "I'll help you, but you must do something else for me."
Kikyo's eyes narrowed. She didn't like the implication in Naraku's voice. Frustration welled in the dead Miko, she needed Naraku to help her capture Inu Yasha, there was no way she could convince him, by herself, to drink the strange yellow liquid in the vial.
"What is this other thing you want me to do?" Kikyo asked without emotion.
The smile that crossed Naraku's face was almost sickeningly sweet. Kikyo knew that whatever Naraku had in mind, it was probably something she wouldn't like very much.
"Well?" Kikyo snapped, irritated, "What is it you want?"
"I want your body, Kikyo," Naraku said, "I want you to please me."
--------------- At Elisana's Cave -----------------------------------------------------------
Miroku sat before the barrier in the cave mouth. Little beads of sweat rolled lightly down his face. Chanting softly to himself, Miroku focused his mind on the talismens he had placed around the entrance to the cave, forcing his own Chi into the barrier, hoping it would be enough to make the spell break. Sango stood behind Miroku's right shoulder, waiting paitently and cradling a sleepy Shippo in her arms, she prayed the Hoshi had enough strength to release the barrier.
"How long is this going to take?" Inu Yasha growled from his position on Miroku's left.
The Hanyou's paitence was beginning to run out. They had been here for almost an hour and they were no closer to getting into the cave. Between the nausiating pain in his injured shoulder and his worry for Kagome's safety, Inu Yasha could feel fatigue starting to set in. Thoughts of what troubles had befallen the young Miko plagued his mind. The longer Kagome remained gone from his presence, the more Inu Yasha felt the need to move, to find her. Miroku cast an understanding smile over his shoulder at the distressed Hanyou. He could understand how Inu Yasha felt. Miroku knew Kagome had a calming effect on all of them. Since the first time they had met Kagome, she had touched their hearts, becoming more than just a precious friend. Miroku valued Kagome's presence in his life almost as much as Inu Yasha and he knew Sango felt the same way. Miroku turned his attention back to the barrier. He would do anything to help Kagome, he owed her a great deal after all, and putting Inu Yasha's mind at ease was one of the things he could do. Miroku focused all of his attention on the barrier blocking the cave entrance. Utalizing the talismens he had placed, Miroku pushed his will onto the barrier, telling it to bend and crack. He could feel and see the shape of the barrier in his mind. As he focused he could feel the shape of the barrier begining to warp and bend, a shifting and twisting of the energy that formed the wall, causing small cracks to start at the edges of the barrier near where his talismens were placed.
"Inu Yasha," Miroku said between clenched teeth, "Use the Tetsusaiga."
Inu Yasha stood and pulled the ancient fang from it's sheth.
"I thought you said I shouldn't use it." Inu Yasha said.
"Use the red blade, but don't use Kaze no Kizu." Miroku said.
Inu Yasha nodded. He focused on the barrier breaking Tetsusaiga. The giant blade began to glow red. Inu Yasha lept and swund the Tetsusaiga down on the barrier. As the enormous blade connected with the barrier it stopped, flashes of energy tore across the barrier, smashing into the rock walls, causing a tremor to run through the cliff face. As they watched, the now visible barrier, it began to buckle under the red blade of Tetsusaiga. With a final burst of electric energy the barrier shattered inward, like a thousand glimmering blue fragments, no longer baring their way into the cave.
Miroku let out a breath. It had been tiring trying to weaken the barrier. Whoever had created it must be very powerful, it would have been impossible for Miroku to break the barrier alone, only combining his spiritual energy with the power of the red Tetsusaiga had been enough.
"You did it, Hoshi-sama! Inu Yasha!" Sango exclaimed.
"Yes," Miroku said with a tired smile, "Now let's see if we can find out what happened to Kagome-sama."
--------------- Lord Sesshoumaru's Estate---------------------------------------------
Sesshoumaru, Demon Lord of the Western Lands, stood up from his position behind the old desk in his library. His long silver hair caught the light of the dying sun, shining through the window behind him, and his golden eyes glowed as he fixed Elisana with his unwavering gaze.
"So the mighty dragoness has come to beg my aid, hmm?" Sesshoumaru said.
Before Elisana could answer the Demon Lord, the young human girl, Rin, ran forward. She went strait to Sesshoumaru's side, grabbing a hold of his right hand, and began pulling him towards the small group gathered by the door.
"Sesshoumaru-sama! It's Kagome Onee-chan! She's hurt, please help her!" Rin begged, still pulling Sesshoumaru forword.
"Rin," Sesshoumaru said calmly, "Don't pull."
The little girl pouted before releasing Sesshoumaru's hand and ran back to Kagome. The little Miko still hadn't woken up yet, and her breathing was beginning to get ragged, worrying Elisana all the more.
"Lord Sesshoumaru," Elisana said calmly, inclining her head with respect, "I have come to ask your aid in helping this human girl."
Sesshoumaru walked over to Kagome, still craddled in Saria's arms, and fixed her with his intense gaze. He looked the Miko over. He could sense the emence dark energy that was being emmited from a glistening arrowhead embedded within the girls chest. Sesshoumaru frowned. He could also feel a lighter, kinder, energy fighting against the dark, trying to keep from being swallowed. Sesshoumaru's nose suddenly curled, he recognized this girl, and Inu Yasha's sent was all over her.
"This girl," Sesshoumaru said calmly, as he turned to face Elisana, "She is the Miko that accompanies my filthy half-breed brother."
"Yes." Elisana said, though Sesshoumaru had not asked a question, "But she is also my charge."
"If that is the case," Sesshoumaru said, "Was she injured while under your protection?"
Elisana lowered her eyes, "Yes..." she said softly.
"And why should I fix your mistake?" Sesshoumaru asked, without emotion.
"You have no obligation to help me," Elisana said, "I had hoped you would remember that I helped you once, Lord Sesshoumaru."
Sesshoumaru turned away from the dragoness. There was no reason that he, Lord Sesshoumaru, should help the human female that belonged to his disgraceful half-breed brother. As he was about to tell Elisana to leave, Sesshoumaru felt a tug on his right sleeve, he looked down into a pair of large brown tear-filled eyes. Rin's lower lip began to quiver.
"Please, Sesshoumaru-sama," She said with a sniffle, "Help Kagome Onee-chan, please?"
Without turning back to Elisana, Sesshoumaru said, "I can do nothing for her myself, but I do know someone who can."
"I am most greatful, Sesshoumaru-sama." Elisana said, bowing her head.
"Jaken," Sesshoumaru said, "Put her in-"
"The Rose Room!" Rin interupted.
Jaken turned to his lord, "Sesshoumaru-sama?"
Sesshoumaru simply nodded his head before returning to his spot behind the old desk.
"Yay!" Rin exclaimed, "I'll show you where it is, follow me!"
The little girl darted out the door and the rest filed out behind her. Elisana was the last to leave, she stopped, looking back at the Demon Lord. She did not know what had happened to make him change so much, but whatever had changed him, she was greatful for it. She bowed her head to him once more before quietly closing the door. As the door clicked closed, Sesshoumaru leaned back in his chair, putting his hand over his eyes.
'What am I doing?' He thought to himself.
--------------------- Back at the small village -----------------------------------------
Kikyo stared at the vile demon in front of her. The smile on Naraku's face was nausiating. Did she actually hear him right? He wanted her body, he wanted her to please him? The dead Miko could almost feel her stomach turning.
"You must be joking." She said.
Naraku's disgusting smile got wider, "No, Kikyo," He said, "I'm not joking at all."
"That's ridiculous." She said, her ire rising, "I'll do no such thing."
"Very well, Kikyo," Naraku said, his smile never fading, "Get Inu Yasha to drink this vial yourself, oh, but if you could do that, you wouldn't have come to me in the first place, right?"
Kikyo scowled. She hated to admit it, but Naraku was right, there was no way Inu Yasha would trust her enough yet to drink the vial. Worst yet, even if she couldn't get him to drink it willingly, there was no way she could force him to drink it, not in her current state. So far, Naraku was also the only demon to successfully capture Inu Yasha, even for short periods of time. Kikyo felt sick at the thought of what she was about to do, but she had no choice, not if she wanted Inu Yasha.
"Very well, Naraku," She said, "Let's go."
"Silly little Kikyo," Naraku said, "We are going to do it right here."
Kikyo's eyes narrowed, "Here? Among all these corpses?"
"Yes," Naraku said, "It's rather fitting for you and I, don't you think?"
Kikyo didn't answer, she could feel her anger rising, but what could she do? With a grimace, Kikyo began to slowly remove her Miko robes, letting them drop to the floor, pooling around her small feet. Naraku's eyes glittered as Kikyo's creamy white flesh was exposed. Her body may be made up of bones and graveyard soil, but it was artfully crafted, not an imperfection in sight. Her small round breasts were perky with little pink nipples. Naraku's eyes moved over her smooth skin, flat stomach, long slender legs. She was beautiful, as beautiful as she was the day that she died, except her eyes. The once gentle look she had was gone, replaced by one of anger and hatred, another soul lost to darkness. Kikyo stepped gingerly out of the pile of clothing, walking slowly toward Naraku, her hips swaying rythmically the whole way. As she reached him, Kikyo put out her hands, taking hold of Naraku's tunic and pushed it off his shoulders. Naraku's skin was almost as pale as Kikyo's, and even though his body was made up of various demon parts, it looked just as human as hers. Kikyo's hands slid down Naraku's chest and stomach, taking hold of the waistline of his trousers, she pulled down, hard, releasing his already swollen member. Her eyes widened a little when she saw how big it was. Not exactly what she had been expecting. Kikyo licked her lips, maybe this wouldn't be so bad. She could feel lust begining to drown out her anger and disgust. She got down on her knees, leaning forward, she took the tip of his cock in her mouth, swirling her tongue around the head. Naraku moaned softly as pleasure shot through his body, momentarily blocking the pain from his spider-shaped scar, he bucked forward, plunging deeper into Kikyo's warm mouth. Kikyo choaked a little, taken aback by Naraku's sudden enthusiasum, then she began sucking and swirling her tongue. Her teeth slightly grazed the top and sides of his shaft, enhancing his pleasure even more. Kikyo could feel herself becoming wet, the warmth spreading through her body, making her bob her head vigorously. Soft slurping sounds echoed through the dark hut. Naraku could feel his knees begining to grow weak. Pressure was starting to build in Kikyo's stomach, she wanted to get this over with and at the same time, she wanted to make it last. It had been so long since she was able to feel the sensation of lust course through her body, and she was reluctant to give it up to quickly. Kikyo hummed deep in her throat, letting the vibrations wash over Naraku's swollen cock, relishing the gasp that escaped him. Before Kikyo could suck him off completely, Naraku pulled his erection from her mouth, grabbing hold of her shoulders, he pushed Kikyo onto her back. Naraku slid his hands from her ankles up the inside of her thighs, pushing her legs open, and revealed her wet pink pussy. Naraku licked his lips before leaning forward and plunging his tongue into Kinyo's soft moist slit. As a moan escaped her, Kikyo's back arched, allowing Naraku even more access to her soft wetness. He flicked his tongue over her clit, swirling it in little circles, and sucked gently on her dripping pussy lips. Naraku continued to lick and nibble for several minutes, until he felt her legs beginning to press in on his head, then he pulled away before she had a chance to climax. To Naraku's amusement, Kikyo pouted, not liking the loss of pleasure.
Naraku grinned as he positioned himself between Kikyo's soft thighs. As the human, Onigumo, he had dreamed of this. Even after he had become the demon, Naraku, he had still coveted Kikyo, and to have her now, his evil black heart sang. Naraku could feel the head of his cock press against Kikyo's warm wet opening as he stared down into her lust filled chocolate eyes. He pushed into her, feeling her wetness grasp hold of him, pulling him deeper inside. Kikyo moaned as he began to move rythmicly inside her, grasping her hips, pushing in as deep as he could go. Kikyo's body bucked and quivered with lust and passion, her vision splashed with red and white, she wrapped her legs around Naraku's waist. As Naraku continued to violently plunge in and out of her dripping pussy, Kikyo felt heat spread across her body, taking them both to the hight of their pleasure. Kikyo felt her pleasure reach it's peak, causing her warm pussy to clamp down on Naraku's engorged cock, pulling from him his own climax. Naraku slumped forward, his long black hair spilling over Kikyo's soft breasts, he slowly pulled himself free of the dead Miko. Naraku allowed his eerie crimson eyes to roam over Kikyo's naked body as he leaned back against the wall. He couldn't have hoped for a better outcome to this meeting, except of course, if he had had both Kikyo and the young Miko Kagome at the same time.
'Now,' Naraku thought, 'Now it will begin.'
----------- In another small village, some distance away. ----------------------
Maya stared into the dancing flames before her. She was now dressed in a warm sleeping Kimono, a pale brown blanket around her shoulders, and a hot cup of tea in her hands. The kindly human woman, Taki, had brought Maya to her home and had given her clean clothes and a warm dinner of simple country stew. Now Maya sat before the fire Taki had used to cook supper. It had been left burning to keep the small hut warm against the night chill. Maya was still confused. She didn't understand why she had stopped her attack on the villagers or what it was about this strangly kind human woman that seemed to put her at ease. With a sigh, Maya put her hand to her forehead, unable to remember clearly what had happened to her and why she had been sealed up in the Earth. The only thing Maya could clearly feel was anger and hatred for her sister, Elisana, though she couldn't remember why. Even more distrubing to the young dragoness was that she had woken up without any idea where her husband or her village were. She was sure that she had been in her village right before her memory went blank but struggling to remember made her head feel like it was splitting open. Maya heard the sound of feet softly approaching. She caught the sent of Taki as she drew closer. The smell of fresh linnen and wildflowers.
"How are you feeling Maya dear?" Taki asked as she sat down beside Maya.
"Much better." Maya said.
"Good," Taki smiled, "You're welcome to stay the night here if you like. There is an extra room in the back."
"Thank you." Maya said simply.
"If you don't mind my asking," Taki said, "What on Earth were you doing wandering around the forest without any cloths on?"
"I don't remember." Maya said.
"What? What do you mean you don't remember?" Taki asked, her eyes widening.
"I mean, I can't remember what happened to me." Maya said, "I woke up in the forest that way."
"You poor thing," Taki said gently, "Feel free to stay as long as you need to, okay?"
"Y...Yes, thank you." Maya said. Surprised and greatful.
"Well, come along dear," Taki said, "I'll show you where the extra room is."
Maya nodded and followed Taki through the little home to a small room in the back. It was a simple room. A old but comfortable looking futon lay on the floor next to the wall on the left and a chest of draws sat against the wall to the right, beside a short writing table with a plush sitting cushion. On the back wall was a sliding paper door that lead out into a small herb and vegetable garden in the back of the hut.
"Don't be shy about using anything in this room." Taki said.
"You are very kind, Taki-san" Maya said, a small smile gracing her lips.
"I just try to do what I think is right." Taki said with a laugh.
"I am most greatful." Maya said bowing deeply.
"So formal." Taki chuckled, "If you need anything don't be afraid to ask."
"I will. Goodnight Taki-san." Maya said.
"Goodnight Maya dear." Taki said with a smile.
Taki left, closing the door behind her, leaving Maya alone with her thoughts. Maya took a deep breath before crossing the room and opening the door leading out to the garden. She stepped out into the bright silvery moonlight, the cold soil soothing to her bare feet and the gentle wind caressing her hair softly.
Maya slowly raised her Amythist eyes to the starry heavens. A scene of bloody carnage flashed across her memory briefly, bringing with it a wave of dispair and sadness, wrapping itself around her heart. Try as she might, Maya couldn't get the memories of what had happened to her to surface. The only image that consistantly worked it's way into her mind was her sister, Elisana, she seemed to be the key to all of it.
"All roads lead to you, sister." Maya said softly, "I'll come to you if I must."
