Disclaimer: I don't own the awesomeness that is Inuyasha, but this story is mine... soooo... Bleh!
I know I said that I would update Naraku's Mate, but I have writer's block for that story. Yet I did update Legend of the Halfling.
Alright on with the story!
Chapter 52: Wish
I watched as colors were pulled from everything including myself. I could feel myself turning human, but this was different from my time of weakness. This time I could feel my Youkai leaving me and not retreating inside of me. She wasn't only purifying me she was taking away my youki. I was turning human and this time I wouldn't be able to turn back. I looked back up frantically and called to Kagome to stop this and calm down, but my voice was lost to the vortex of wind in the cave that continued to increase in speed and pull everything to its center.
I knew I had to do something or this would not end well for either of us. I dug my heel into the ground for a good purchase and then I launched myself at the swirling mass of wind and energy that surrounded Kagome. As soon as I got close I was flung back against the cave wall, hard. I could feel my bones cracking and straining against the impact. With each passing second I was becoming weaker and weaker. If I didn't get her back to her right frame of mind now then it would be too late for me.
I pressed my feet against the wall of the cave to gain a good foot hold once again and was about to launch myself off of the wall and back at Kagome when I felt a chill run up my spine. I looked to the mouth of the cave and saw black beginning to mix in with the bright colors of energy that she was pulling towards her. Even with my diminishing youki I could feel the evil and darkness of the energy as it raced to Kagome. It spun around the vortex as did the other colors, but this time it grew until it covered the vortex in sickening dark colors of red, green and black.
Then I looked at her eyes. The bright blue eyes that were once on her face were slowly turning black as night. I watched as Kagome was consumed with darkness. I couldn't do anything but watch in horror at what was happening. Then I watched as she closed her eyes and the wind stopped. The colors turned to twisting smoke and fog within the cave. When she opened her eyes again they were a deep and dark violet. They looked like they had belonged to an evil being, and most likely did.
"Well, what a handsome hanyou we have" she said in a silky and seductive tone that did not belong to Kagome at all. Her voice was higher pitched and had a slight melodious ring to it, except when she was yelling.
"Who the hell are you? Where's Kagome" I growled at the thing standing in front of me. I stood up to my full height and was a good 5 or 6 inches taller than her. Yet her presence was still threatening.
"My dear, don't you recognize me? I am Kagome" she said to me as she stepped closer and closer to me, until we were almost touching. She leaned her head up and looked into my eyes. Her lips twisted into a sly and seductive smile. Then she raised her feet until she was standing on her toes. Her head leaned in closer to my head and she tilted up so that her mouth was as close to my ear as she could manage to get it. "You know, In-u-ya-sha," she whispered to me as her hand rested on my chest and slowly raised it to the collar of my haori and underneath the rosary. I gulped and was about to push her away when I realized that the misty shadows and colors were wrapped around my body and prevented me from moving at all. "I can take away all of your pain and anger" she whispered to me and I then felt something warm and wet on my cheek.
'She's LICKING me?!' my mind screamed. I tried to tell her to get the hell away from me, but my voice wasn't coming out either. I could feel her wandering hand move up to my shoulder and caressing the muscles on my arm.
"Or, I could grant you your wish?" she said to me and brought her face back to face mine. I could see the darkness swirling the depths of her eyes, whatever she was she wasn't Kagome. I did all that I could do in my half purified and bound state. I growled menacingly at the thing that was possessing Kagome's body.
"Awe, now that isn't nice" said the thing in its silky voice. "I could grant your deepest desire. What is it you wish for?" she asked and began to kiss along my jawline. I continued to growl, I did not like where this was heading at all. Not only that, but Kagome is in danger and if this thing continues to do what it is doing and Kagome finds out then I am not even going to have to dig my own grave. Kagome will do that for me.
"Do you wish to have your beloved with you? To have Kikyo?" she asked. That brought me out of my thoughts and caused me be surprised.
'How the hell does this thing know about Kikyo?' I thought to myself. Then I knew that it was far more dangerous than I had originally thought. If I was correct in my thinking then this thing knew me from before I was pinned to the tree.
"To become a full demon, or perhaps a human?" she asked me and licked from the base of my neck to my jawbone. In all honesty it probably would have felt good in a different situation, but the fact that something evil had possessed Kagome and I could feel the slimy and chilled darkness crawl over my skin made almost unbearable and utterly disgusting.
"Perhaps to be accepted by someone? To have the love of someone who shares your pain? To have someone who will never leave your side? To have someone who will never betray you? To have me?" she asked me with a sly voice and raised herself up so that her lips were closer to mine. She used one of her hands to tilt my neck and head down so that our lips were merely centimeters apart. She continued to close the gap between us.
'Kagome, now would be a wonderful time to WAKE UP!' I screamed in my mind, unable to use my voice at the moment. Though she didn't and all I could do was watch and keep my lips closed as hers touched mine. I stared into the swirling depths of darkness with my own golden eyes as she continued to kiss me.
Unknown to me she was using her other free hand to grab the dagger on her belt. She reached her fingers around the hilt of the dagger circling it with her pale fingers until she grabbed it. At that moment she screamed out in pain and wretched herself away from me and the wall. I watched as the dagger was flung from her grasp and landed in front of me. I watched in amazement as it shot up a light blue and green barrier that surrounded me in light and pure air, free from the creeping darkness.
"I want some answers damn it!" I shouted at the dark Kagome standing outside of the barrier grasping her burnt and smoking hand. "Who the hell are you and what have you done to Kagome?!" I growled at the thing outside of the barrier and took my sword from my belt as I felt my youki slowly being restored back to normal. Though tetsaiga was still not transforming yet.
"My, my, my, to think that her dagger would even reject her" a, now, dark voice said from Kagome's body. "To think that I was so close to murdering you and I was thwarted by a small piece of metal. Then again 50 years ago I was deceived by an arrow." The voice said. "I never calculated that Kikyo would fail to purify you and instead seal you to a tree" snarled the dark voice.
"What the hell are you talking about and who are you?!" I snarled back. I noticed that the swirling darkness in her eyes was slowing down, but instead of turning back to blue or even brown, they turned red. A dark and sinister red.
"Me? I am your worst enemy and I will kill you Inuyasha and take this girl with me to rule the world with darkness and fear" it said in a dark voice as her face spread into a maniacal smile.
A/N: So this chappie is done... not too major of a cliffy, but hey I did update faster than I thought I would. Happy late Independence Day America!
So we now know what her hobby is. Thank you to all of you who guessed, but her hobby is painting.
Only question I have is suggestions for demons, though I have a long time to go before I will use them.
Thank you again for reading and I hoped you enjoyed the chapter! Please review!
