CHAPTER-2

Kagome or Kikyo- chaos ensues

Inuyasha took his time to take a good look at the odd demon girl who zoned him out with a stupid look on her face.what an odd hair color, kinda reminds me of sun.

Naruto became aware of her surroundings as Kyubi kicked her out of her mindscape.

She looked behind her feeling the soft fur of her tails with her fingers. He did not tell me how to hide these tails. I can't even access my chakra. She shook her head trying to lay the matters aside for the time being.

"Earth to foxy. Are you even here?" She looked at him with a lost expression.

" You look stupid," he said and smirked at the expression she made.

"Hey! I don't look stupid," she snarled looking annoyed with his comment.

"Yeah , with those long legs, large boobs and cute face you're not half bad to look at." He said cockily. Naruto resembled a tomato at his words.

"Shut up! Keep your perverted thoughts to yourself." With the way he talks and smells he could be Kiba's lost brother she mentally sweat dropped .

The thoughts again reminded her of home and she thought of thinking about anything but home because it made her sad. Gotta find a way home but for now her eyes drifted to the arrow . She could not ignore it when curiosity got better off her.

"Why are you pinned to the tree anyway?" She asked eagerness dripping off every word.

"That's a long story." He avoided not wanting to talk about the woman he loved with his whole heart that did not hesitate to kill him.

"Remove it for me , will ya, the arrow?" He asked hoping that she could remove it for him.

"Umm... Ok but don't try anything funny," She said after thinking for a moment. She stood up and climbed the branch nearing him and tried to pull out the arrow but got repelled the instant she touched it. Surprise she looked at the arrow clearly and found it layered with chakra, A seal.

"It's a seal. Does not look simple and I cannot undo it till I have chakra only the person who cast it can undo it or you have to wait till I can access my chakra again."

"Chakra...?" He said confused.

"But... Why were you sealed anyway?" She asked but he looked away trying not to meet her eyes.

Suddenly their senses spiked up alerting them of coming danger. She could hear the leaves rustling followed by shouts of people.

"She is coming this way ." The dog demon looked menacingly in the direction of the sound.The leaves of the bushes near them rustled a girl with raven hair came out shouting

"I told you I don't have it." Oblivious of the two set of eyes trained on her . She slipped when her leg caught in the roots protruding out and landed face first on the ground.

"Hello Kikyo playing with bugs now are we?" He asked sarcastically. Naruto looked at him.

"Did he just talk?" was the thought of the teenager. Her head immediately snapped in his direction.

"So you're alive," she exclaimed.

"Why are you taking so long to kill it . Just do it like you did me."

This earned a raised eyebrow from the accused girl.

"She was the one who did that to him?"was the thought of the confused kitsune.

"You look pretty dumb there Kikyo,"making her look at him as if he has grown another head.

"The Kikyo I know doesn't waste time," he rambled on . Her eyes twitched and she decided it was time to put a stop .

"That does it!" She said forcefully.

"Kikyo ...Kikyo whoever that is... it is not my name. My name is..."

"She's here." he said not really listening to her.The looked around only to find the demon come from above her.Naruto acted immediately and pushed the demon away before she could get to the girl.

"I'm saved." She said feeling grateful looking at Naruto holding her down with her claws.

"You're pathetic Kikyo." he spat.

"For the last time. I said I am not Kikyo. I'm Kagome .Ka...go..me.. Kagome,"she shouted

"Shut up! Who else would give off scent like you...or maybe not" he said sniffing her, Kagome watched him giving an I told you so look.

"You're right Kikyo was smart and way cuter than you." he grumbled making her scowl at him.

"Why you..."the demon growled throwing Naruto off her but left her to attack the girl clinging to Inuyasha. With nothing to brace herself with she caught on to the only thing she could. The dog demon screamed in pain as his locks were brutally assaulted.

"Let go of me," she shouted at the demon pulling her.

"Ow..ow..ow.. you let go of me you damn woman."

"Give me the sacred Jewel." The centipede demon hissed.

"The sacred Jewel," he narrowed his eyes at her.

"Stop!" Kagome commanded the jewel inside her unconsciously as she fell down. Her powers repelled the centipede monster as it's hands got separated from it landing in a heap surprising the villagers and Kaede. The monster sunk her teeth into the girl's side which began to glow throwing her away like a rag doll. The jewel got separated from her body . The villagers stared in awe at the jewel . Even Naruto was curious about it.It did not take much time for them to take notice of the nine tailed kitsune . Few of them started attacking her.

"Wait! I mean no harm ," Naruto tried to talk some sense into them but they were too intimidated by her number of tails, they were not ready to listen to reason. They felt she was more dangerous than the centipede monster.

"Like we'd trust you fox," they spat trying to tie her up with rope. She looked around to escape but her eyes caught the demon who was pulling the girl and she was holding on to the dog demon's locks.

"Worry about yourself first."

"I cannot defend myself with out any chakra and I cannot hurt them with Taijutsu , I still have no control over my body."

"How will you escape then idiot."

"I'm still figuring it out fuzzbutt."

"Let me take over for now."

"Don't harm them..."

"Yeah... Yeah... stupid ape."

Her eyes turned blood red and the Fox's chakra began to seep out alerting them . The killing intent released by the Kyubi made them sweat bullets as it tore open the ropes binding her. She got onto her four limbs with a feral look on her face ,her fangs elongated and her whisker marks thickened.

Inuyasha looked at her wide eyed as she sped off to attack the demon that bound Kikyo's look alike to him squeezing the hell out of them.The demon swallowed the jewel reattaching her parts transforming into a beast.The villagers at that time didn't know who they should be afraid of more the nine tailed Fox or the transformed demon.

"Hey ,Can you pull out this arrow?" Inuyasha asked the girl making her look at him while his eyes were trained on the transformed demon confidence oozing out of his form.

"This one," she asked him, seeing no other way to free herself . He nodded after a single glance.

"No child don't.." Kaede's voice sounded off in the distance.

"You old hag, can't you see once the demon absorbs the jewel fully you are all food for it."

"I don't want to die," Kagome said as she pulled out the arrow pinning him which disappeared.

The demon now fully transformed tightened it's body trying to choke Kagome and Inuyasha.

ooo

Kurama leapt from the distance after dodging the villager's attack while carefully hitting them unconscious towards the tree when Inuyasha used his strength to free themselves and used his powers to tear open the body of the centipede monster.

Kurama stood near Inuyasha growling at the menacing aura he gave off as nine tails swished behind. Naruto was the only reason he did not attack him. He looked warily at the girl who was nice to him no so long ago.

Kaede searched for the jewel in the demon's body to prevent it from rejuvenating and removed it as the body of the demon turned to ash while the remaining people watched Naruto.

"Only you can possess the jewel ," she said handing it over to Kagome.

ooo

Naruto's eyes turned normal again along with her pronunced features as she took control of her body again except her tails. She sighed looking at them.

"Hey Kurama do something about the tails will ya?"

"Nothing can be done till you can access your chakra. It'll take two days for you to access it."

"Guess I'll be stuck like this for a while then."she breathed out not making any sense to the boy watching her.

She looked at his tense form and assured him no harm rubbing the back of her head.Inuyasha saw Kaede handing the jewel to the girl and moved towards them when he felt sure that the blonde fox would not harm him.

"The jewel that gave powers to the demon. What use does it have for me."

"Yeah , what use does it have for humans," Inuyasha piped in. Kaede instinctively stood in front of Kagome protectively.

"If you don't want to feel the pain of my claws you better give it to me and get over with it."

"Inuyasha stop threatening the girl when the jewel belongs to her ," Naruto growled as she walked towards them narrowing her eyes at him.She did not feel right about his behavior taking a one eighty. He seemed good earlier.

Kaede eyes widened when she came to their defence. "You were the one I've sensed a few days ago. " She said making Naruto turn towards her. Her blue eyes shining with curiosity. Kaede could see that she meant every word she said when she gazed into her eyes feeling every emotion swimming in them.

"Why do you want to protect us child?"

"Because it seems the right thing to do," she grinned at them sheepishly. The villagers relaxed when they saw Kaede interacting with her freely.

"Hey you were supposed to be on my side ," Inuyasha whined.

"You seem to be a good person but your feelings towards them I'm sensing are not good. Hatred can only get you nowhere dattebayo ." Her words shocked him.

"Shut up! Your words won't change my feelings . Especially towards the woman I dislike," he growled out as he sped towards Kagome, stretching his claws towards her.

Naruto pushed her down in time but his claws grazed her arm. She hissed in pain as blood dripped from her wound staining her Orange kimono top. Her wound started healing slower than usual because she could not access her chakra. She cradled her arm looking at him fiercely while she stood before her protectively.

"Stay away from this Foxy or you'll get hurt."

The villagers began to shoot arrows at him which annoyed him. He cut the trees with his claws to scatter them.

"He's attacking the villagers,gotta get him away from them." She thought it in irritation. Kaede pulled out a rosary chanting words that made the beads arrange themselves around Inuyasha and making him angry as he could not remove it.

"Kagome-san get on my back we will lead him away from the villagers before he hurts them." Kagome nodded but felt apprehensive that her small stature can carry her. "Hurry ,now."

Kagome finally got on her back and Naruto took off leading him away from them. Naruto's new body was faster she noted as Inuyasha chased them.

After they were at a safe distance in an open area of a cliff. Kagome got down and Naruto took a Taijutsu stance.

She engaged him in a fight , giving him hit after hit while escaping his sharp claws. She narrowed her eyes feeling that he was not putting his everything into the fight as her fist came into contact with hard flesh covered by his robes. The bastard was playing with her.

At one point she got him down near the edge of the cliff straddling him pinning his arms with one hand and pointing a sharp claws to his throat.

"You would really want to get off me right now," he said .

"No, you are going to hurt her."

"You would really really want to get off me, before I loose control of myself." he said enjoying her things straddling him and her soft butt resting on him, eyeing the soft mounds attached to her chest. Naruto squirmed uncomfortably at his actions giving him more pleasure unknowingly.

"You did it ," Kagome cheered her not aware of the blonde's plight.

Kaede and two of her men reached the place and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the blonde had everything under control till...

"You hormonal freak ,"she shrieked backing away from him as she realized that the something poking behind her back, between her tails .She could hear Kurama's roaring laughter in the back of her mind.

"Told ya ," he said sitting up chuckling at her expression. He got up and began to walk towards the blonde on the ground.

"Kagome , recite the word to subjugate Inuyasha's soul." Kaede said.

"What?" she looked at her confused.

"Just say something!"

"Subjugate me? You fools,"he said cockily.

Naruto stood up and threw her fist at him which he caught pulling her into his arms holding her by her waist.

"He's stronger than he let's on dattebayo,"she thought and kicked his shin with large force she could muster.

"You..." he growled releasing her. He was about to attack her when Kagome decided to use the word of subjugation she came up with in that instant.

As soon as the word "sit," left her lips his face met the ground the rosary's power kicking in.

"It held him ," Kagome said surprised while Naruto felt relieved.

"What is this ,"he growled, trying to remove it but could not.

"It's useless Inuyasha. You cannot remove the rosary."

"Shut up !old hag,"he hissed doubling his efforts. When he couldn't he sped towards Kagome earning a kick from the blonde throwing him off the cliff. He landed in the river and was washed away by the current.

"That'll do him good." Naruto said dusting her hands.

"Come on let's go back to the village," Kaede said to Kagome.

Naruto stayed rooted to the place thinking she would not be welcomed into the village.

"Well aren't you coming ?"Kaede turned and called out to her. The blonde's face lit immediately and she skipped as she followed them.

ooo

"Let's see... I'll apply more salve on the wound on your belly."Kagome grimaced as Kaede tended to her wounds.

"Oww...! " she shouted in pain. She looked at Naruto looking out and followed her.

"They're fixing the houses destroyed by that Centipede Monster. So much work!" She exclaimed while Naruto nodded in agreement remembering the time when Nagato levelled her village .

"This does not bode well at all. Now that the Sacred Jewel has reappeared, there will be others who seek to possess it," Kaede said grabbing their attention.

" Like yesterday..." Kagome agreed with her.

"And not just demons, but also humans, who have evil in their hearts. With all the violence in the world, it follows there will be those who seek the Jewel's power to realize their greedy ambitions."

"Why is the sacred Jewel important?"Naruto asked Kaede, " but first why is he in here anyway?"

"Huh," Kagome turned to her side to find Inuyasha lying on his side some steps away from them with his back facing them defiantly.

"How did you know? I did not notice till now." Kagome said amazed.

"I could smell him from miles away," Naruto replied crinkling her nose.

Slightly turning his head ,"Give me the Jewel," he deadpaned and turned back.

"It seems the holding power of the rosary is quite effective. Even if he gets near the Sacred Jewel, we do not have to worry." Kaede chuckled.

"Why do you want the Sacred Jewel? You're awfully strong right now. You don't really need its power, do you?" Kagome asked.

"He is only half demon..." Kaede began to fill in before he let out a growl.

" You old hag! Who do you think you are, anyway. Don't talk as if you know all about me!" He shouted punching the floor putting a hole into it.

Naruto looked at him shocked by his reaction . She stared at him and found her gaze locked on his eyes finding something familiar in them. The same she found in Haku, Gaara and Sasuke. The same she used to find in her reflection every morning in the mirror.lonliness...

She gulped when she could not avert her eyes from his , she felt breathless as his golden orbs shared the same thirst as her . Thirst for acceptance... Her stomach dropped. Getting up she excused herself and hurried out. Kaede's lone eye did not miss her reaction.

"What's up with her?"he said out loud.

"Don't you understand? I guess it can't be helped. I am the younger sister of Kikyo, the one who put the spell on you. " Kaede said grabbing his attention away from Naruto earning a grateful look from her.

"Kaede? So... You're that kid?" he remembered the little girl with Kikyo.

"Fifty years have passed. And I have grown old."

" And that means... Kikyo must be really old now, too. Humans age so easily. That's the way it goes."

"My sister Kikyo... died.On the same day that she shot the spellbound arrow at you," she told him as she threw some wood into the fireplace.

"Heh, so that's how it went. She kicked the bucket, huh?" he scoffed, "What a relief!"

"Inuyasha, it is too early to breathe a sigh of relief. Kagome is the reincarnation of my sister, Kikyo."

"What?"

"What!??????"

A/N:

That's all for this chapter. I am not that satisfied with it, I will try my best to improve them. Please review and any suggestions that I find cool are welcome. I cannot change the pairing to Naruto and Inuyasha but I can add a few moments between them before and after Sasuke makes his entry. Forgive me for any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors that slipped my notice.
