AN: I'm soooooooooooooo sorry that I haven't updated in a few days. My computer… and I was downloading Inuyasha episodes… and on top of that, I was thinking on how to make this chapter worth reading. Can you guys forgive me? I just had to watch 2 of my favorite Inuyasha episodes.. "Kagome's Voice and Kikyou's Kiss" and "The Tragic Love Song of Destiny". Well, enjoy!

Out with the old, In with the new:

Chapter 10: Kikyou N Inu; Sesshoumaru's World, Gone

"Are you okay?" asked a soft voice. Kikyou looked up to find Inuyasha sitting right beside her. She smiled.

"Yeah, I'll be fine; it wasn't a lot of dark energy in that arrow, so yeah."

"I almost lost you…"

Kikyou got up and quickly hugged Inuyasha. "But you were there to pick me up while I was down, and you didn't go chase after Kagome, so it's okay."

Inuyasha hugged her tighter. "Kikyou, over these 3 months, I realized something."

"Which is?"

"That I have, err "strong feelings" towards you, so I can't let you go now. Even if there was some type of way that I could be with Kagome, I wouldn't take it."

"Wha?"

"What I'm trying to say is that I care deeply for you, and I can't lose you like that. Your mines now, so don't forget that. If another demon or human touches you, they'll have to deal with me."

Kikyou nodded. "The same goes for you, Inuyasha. I better not catch you two timing on me, Inuyasha."

He nodded. "I wouldn't be stupid enough to do that."


"So this is how it's gonna go," said Naraku, smiling sickly at the 3 women before him. "First, Kagura and Kanna are going to go to Sesshoumaru's fiancée's house to abduct Rin. Sesshoumaru has already marked her, so he'll be powerless in his efforts to go and find her. Kagome, you'll stay here until part B of my plan is in motion.

Kagura looked at Naraku in hatred, but he didn't catch a glimpse of her. Kanna had an expressionless look in her eyes, and began to walk out of the cave. Kagura followed her, and then Naraku looked back at Kagome.

"Now, we need to fix you up…"


"So your woman attacked you?" asked Sesshoumaru, choking back a laugh. "Because I find that oddly funny."

"Yeah, whatever, Miroku and Sango thought it was strange, and Kikyou commented on how strange Kagome's aura was; it's wasn't that of a pure miko, which Kagome is."

"So what do you think, idiot? She must be mind-controlled by whoever kidnapped her. It's strange though how you didn't follow after her; you stayed with Kikyou."

"I couldn't leave her; she risked her life to save me; going after Kagome… she might even turn on me."

Sesshoumaru laughed. "Speaking of that, I need to find Rin and take her somewhere. She acts to fuckin' quiet sometimes, maybe that's why I love her…"

"Be careful; they're probably gonna have Rin as a target, maybe Kikyou too."

"You protect yours, I'll protect mines…"


At 2 in the morning, Kanna and Kagura were flying on a huge feather. They landed at Rin's house and Kagura destroyed the door with her "Dance of Blades". Rin didn't wake up, but her mother did, and walked downstairs quickly.

"What the f-?"

She was stopped in mid speech as she looked into the mirror that Kanna was holding. Almost instantly, an orb of blue light came out of Rin's mother, and her body hug limp. Kanna then began to control her, forcing her to attack the man that was coming downstairs, presumably Rin's father. He was another victim of Kanna's soul stealing mirror, and Kanna commanded her slaves to get Rin. The two people did as told and got their daughter. Rin was trying to scream, but her father began to cover her mouth and violently shake her, until she became quiet. Kanna then forced her to look into the mirror. Rin's soul fought, but it was ultimately defeated as it protruded out of her mouth. Kanna and Kagura then took their leave, taking Rin's body with them. Kanna lost interest in her slaves and stopped controlling them, causing them to drop. Kagura took a feather out of her head and it exploded into a larger feather, carrying Kanna and Kagura back to the hideout.

They reached the hideout and they showed the limp body of Rin to Naraku.

"Good," he said, standing and stroking Kagame's hair. "Now that Sesshoumaru will be lured here, I want to test my strength against him."

'And I hope he kills you,' thought Kagura, looking at Naraku. 'If I can, I'll help Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha in anyway that I can.'

Naraku smiled. "Kagome, your up next. You'll lead Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru here, with that priestess bitch. With that, we can attempt weaken them with the miasma and ultimately kill them. It will take careful planning though…"

"I'm with you all the way, master," said Kagome, looking up at Naraku as the obedient toy she was. Naraku looked at Kagome's bright eyes.

"When you meet Inuyasha, lead him into a false sense of security, meaning act like your normal self, when you was with him."

"Yes, okay."

"If you can, attempt to kill that priestess that's around him. Tell him my name, everything, and that you was controlled. He'll be putty in your hands, and you can manipulate him to come here, got it?"

Kagome nodded. "Now?"

"Yes, now, but wait until Sesshoumaru finds out about Rin and her family before you make you move."

"Yes," said Kagome, now taking her leave…

(Just Read N Review!)

AN: You know, I was thinking to make this chapter entirely Kikyou X Inuyasha based, but I wanted to see what I could do with Sesshoumaru. I attempted to make them more "brotherly" and Kikyou and Inuyasha how they should. So tell me how I did, and I'll be at it with another chapter
