Hi guys. I'm not sure how good this chapter's going to be so. . . once more into the brink.

Chapter 11

Hhmm. What to do? I need to get control of this body once again. But how? If I could only. . . no that wouldn't work. Hhmm.

Kikyo had been trying for an answer for a long while now. As it seemed it was taking a LONG time.

Maybe. Could it be so simple?

Kikyo concentrated on opening Kagome's eyes with all her might. Suddenly, Kagome's eye's snapped open.

What was I thinking? I couldn't do that. She notices what she had just accomplished and exclaims with a small cheer.

Maybe not. She chuckles. Now what to do? She returns to the business at hand. Stand up, she commanded. Kagome's body complied. I could have some fun with this. Move forward. Stop! She had almost run into a wall. Now for more specific instructions. Let's go find Inuyasha.

Inuyasha wasn't sleeping inside tonight. It seems he wanted to sleep under the stars, so naturally he would be in a tree somewhere.

Naraku sat in the superior glow of the tainted jewel.

Naraku looked like a human but was in fact a shape-shifter. He usually wore purple robes.

He used his shape-shifting to tear Inuyasha and Kikyo apart 50 years prior to when Kagome had come through the well, in order to obtain the jewel. He did not succeed but in letting the jewel slip out of his hands when Kikyo was cremated with it. Thus being Kikyo's reincarnation, Kagome housed the Jewel of Four Souls inside her own body. It was ripped out shortly after she came to the Fuedal Era. She accidentally shattered it and in so doing, she made a pact in which to put it back into one piece with Inuyasha's help.

"Kana, show me the Hanyou and his friends."

Kana herself looked more like a small girl compared to Naraku and yet she had the great and terrible power to see things though her mirror and to turn an un-expecting demon's power upon itself.. It was hard to believe sometimes that she was a part of Naraku. She looked so innocent yet she was pure evil under that cover of hers.

Kana's mirror changed from a reflection of himself, Naraku, to a view of the hut Inuyasha and their friends we're staying at. Kagome when stepping out the hut and seemed to move with more purpose than usual.

"That filthy human has left the safety of her friends' hut. What strange behaviour," Naraku wondered aloud. "Could work to my advantage." He smirked. "Kagura. Come to me."

"Kagura. Come to me." Damn that Naraku! Every time he needs something, I get called to him like some of servant. Sigh. Well, I'd better go and see what he wants this time.

She walked out into the courtyard of Naraku's castle and marveled at how big it was. Never ceases to amaze me. She began walking across the courtyard. It truly was enormous. She flew the rest of the way, not wishing Naraku to discipline her for being late. He really didn't need to but he did it anyway, for his own amusement.

She landed on the ground in front of the Emperor's Suite at the far end of the courtyard. She walked into it.

"Kagura. You're late. Again. Will you ever learn?" He drew her heart out of his body into his hand as an orb and he squeezed.

Instantly, a paralyzing pain shot through her whole body, originating from where her heart would have been if Naraku would have allowed her it. "Damn you Naraku!" she said with all the hate and spite she could muster in her one breath. "Damn you!"

"Now, now Kagura. Is that any way to speak to your master?" He let the pressure on her heart to subside. "Now, I want you to go to the Miko. Find out why she is acting so strangely."

She ran out the door before Naraku could say anything else.

Inuyasha slept on top of the hut his friends were sleeping in. Well not sleeping. Kagome was acting weird lately and he was going to find out if he was sat millions of times. It seemed like she was looking for excuses for a lot of things for a while now. She was supposedly talking to herself increasingly more over the last few weeks. "Yelling at herself is more like it," he said aloud. He sniffed. Kagome's scent was moving away from the hut. Hhmm. Kagome knows better than to go out on her own. Especially at night.

"Kagome?" he whispered. He started after the scent.

"Kagome?" he said a little louder this time. He continued. He came to a clearing with Kagome in the middle of it.

"Kagome!"

She turned. Inuyasha. I'm finally gonna have some fun with you. She smirked. She walked right up to him and put her hand on his chin and began to lean up for a kiss.

This was not what Inuyasha had expected it to be. He pulled back after a couple seconds after the start of the kiss. Inuyasha had thought nothing of her until then. True, he did love her, but was sure she didn't feel the same toward himself. Her sweet taste was still full on his lips and in his nose. She smelled so good.

"Aww isn't that cute?" Kagura taunted them in their current position.

"Shut up bitch!" Amazingly, this hadn't came from Inuyasha. It was Kagome. Ok, now something is definitely going on here. Kagome never swears. . . as far as I know? He smirked. Who knows? Maybe she does. Ok I'm going to have to speak with her about this.

"Kagome let me handle this."

"Oh, now isn't that cute. Big, bad Inuyashi is going to make me pay for saying nasty words about nasty, little Kagome," she said in a mock baby voice. "What are you going to do? You couldn't beat me the first time. Why would you be able to beat me now?"

Inuyasha drew Tetssaiga. "We'll just have to see about that won't we?"

"Well, lets do it then." She drew her fans. (I need to know what they're called for future reference so somebody tell me please) "Inuyasha not now." Kikyo said in Kagome's voice. (of course) "Please let's just please go back to the hut."

"Ok fine." He sheathed Tesusiaga. "I'll let you go for now Kagura!"

She laughed. "Let me go? I'm not letting you go. Dance of Blades!" She waved her fan and blades of white energy flew at Kikyo/Kagome.

"No!" Inuyasha was in front of her in a second shielding her from the blast. He screamed as the blades sliced into his back. He collapsed onto the ground. "Inuyasha! No!"

Kikyo/Kagomedropped to her kneesbeside Inuyasha sobbing. "Inuyasha I'm so sorry," Kikyo cryed out. He look up at her. "It's ok Kagome. . . I protected you. . . now . . . I can die. . . with. . .no regrets."

His breathing was becoming laboured. "You're not going to die yet!"

"Miroku! Sango! Shippo! Anyone! HELP!"

"Miroku! Sango! Shippo! Anyone! HELP!"

"Kagome?" Shippo shuffled as he awoke from his sleep. "Sango? Miroku? Wake up guys!"

"What is it Shippo?" Sango stirred, Miroku was still fast sleep beside her.

"Uh what are you guysdoing in the same bed?"

"Nothing! God stop accusing us!"

"I wasn't. . . I don't care! I heard Kagome screaming! I need your help!"

"What? Miroku wake up!" She nudged him, a little harder than she had meant to in her effort to hurry to help Kagome.

"Ow Sango that hurt!"

"Shut up. Kagome's in trouble." Sango retorted.

"What?"

"Just hurry up so we can go!"

"Ok I'm up! Lets go!"

"Bring Kagome's bow and arrows. She might need them."

Miroku tucked the bow on one shoulder and her arrow quiver on the other and raced out the door where Sango had left.

Inuyasha had passed out seconds earlier when Kikyo/Kagome heard a familiar voice.

"Kagome!"

Kikyo/Kagome looked up to see Sango and Shippo hurrying toward her.

"Where's Miroku?"

"He's getting your bow and arrows."

"Help me. We need to get Inuyasha back to the hut. Now!"

"Not likely."

"Kagura? What are you doing here?" Sango enquired.

She smirked. " Oh I've been here the whole time. Ever since the two lovebirds over there were kissing." Kikyo/Kagome blushed.

"And I'll kill the rest of you. Unless Kagome over there tells evevyone why she's been acting so strangely."

"How would you know about that?" Kikyo/Kagomeasked with narrowed eyes.

"We've been watching, Kagome. Yes Naraku knows all. So unless you want to die, I would suggest you tell everyone here what's been eating you lately."

Kikyo/Kagome stood up. "I'm not Kagome, I'm Kikyo." She said it like it was the simplest thing in the world.

There was silence. Everything in the forest seemed to stand still. "What? How can that be?" said a surprised Sango.

"I planned to pass on the spirit world but my soul was sent to Kagome instead. I will get there eventually but for now I'm stuck in this body."

Miroku came running up the path with Kikyo/Kagome's bow and arrows.

"Good my bow and arrows have arrived." She grabbed them from Miroku. "I suggest you leave Kagura." She said as she hoisted up her bow and loaded an arrow.

"No problem I've gotten what I needed."

She took out her feather and it grew to an unbelieveable size. She got on and flew away.

Kikyo/Kagome went back to Inuyasha and looked at the size of the pool of blood. "Help me! We need to get Inuyasha back to the hut!"

"We're going to need an explanation for this."

"Whatever, lets go!"
