Now, the awaited...
Chapter 15: The Black Miko's Revenge
"You! I should have known! You want revenge for being defeated by us, don't you?!" Kagome yelled out in rage and terror.
"Yes.yes.I am the Black Miko. Naraku employed me all that time ago to defeat you with my black magic. I was to curse kill you, but first.to have you kill Inuyasha! However, you resisted and freed yourself! Inuyasha lived and I was forever in disgrace! Just as it was when the master who trained both Kikyou and myself chose her, not me, to guard the Shikon no Tama! Now you, her pathetic reincarnation, stand before me and at last I am able to claim my revenge!" The black Miko yelled, rage contorting her face.
Kagome stood in shock at the tirade. The Black Miko looked much the same as she had the last time she had seen her. Her youthful face possessed a terrible beauty and her eyes as cold and gray as ice. Her long silver hair hung down her back and fanned around her face. She wore black priestesses robes, tied at the waist with a cord of silver. On her small feet resided silver satin sandals. The evil priestess was tall and graceful, she might have been truly gorgeous, but for the rage and hatred directed at Kagome, Kikyou and Inuyasha that contorted her fair features into a expression terrible to behold.
Suddenly, a look of utter calm came over her face and she spoke again, this time her voice was icy and unnerving though never swaying from it's calm undertone.
"But this time." she purred "This time, victory will be mine."
Quicker than Kagome could react, the Miko pressed a small spiral amulet to her forehead. As the Miko held it there Kagome felt as though a force was trying to control her.
Smirking, the Black Miko pressed the amulet to her head until the light extinguished from Kagome's eyes and she stood still and straight under her hand.
"Yes! My amulet is working. At this very moment child, you are under my control. You will know the horrors you will cause and yet you will be powerless to stop it. No matter how much you resist, you cannot through off my control until your task is done! Now! You will return to Inuyasha and you seem as though everything is fine. You will request to return to the village. When you arrive, you will take Inuyasha, ALONE, to the Sacred Tree. There, you will attack and kill him with one of your purity arrows. Then, you will have destroyed your life as well as his!" The Miko cackled evilly as she thought of her plan in action. "Go child! Fulfill your orders!"
*********
Kagome's body had been forced to comply. Although she tried desperately to stop herself, the Evil Miko's power was to great.
'Oh gods, NO!' she screamed wordlessly in horrid anguish, trapped within her own body. 'Inuyasha, you've only just begun to live again and now I will betray you once more! Only this time, you may not live to be able to recover! Oh Inuyasha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for everything!'
Kagome came back to the birch clearing. Seeing her companions still asleep, her body moved itself to Inuyasha's side.
"Wake up Inuyasha." Her voice called out. "It's time to go back."
The hanyou started and jumped to his feet. Kagome woke the remainder of the group with a sharp clap.
"Let's go, Inuyasha. It's getting late." With that Kagome took steps that would lead her down a horrible path. But she could not stop, no matter how she tried, how much she wish to cry out to him, to hold him tight and say: "It'll be okay. This is not me. This is not my voice, not my choice. Believe me my love, I would never hurt you."
The company walked back in silence, because of the fading hour, Miroku, Sango and Shippou would ride back on Kirara while Inuyasha carried Kagome.
After the departure of Kirara, Inuyasha turned to Kagome and his eyes searched her pale face.
'Something isn't right.' he thought puzzled 'She smells the same and looks the same, but something isn't right here..'
"What is it?" Kagome's deadpan voice broke in
Startled, he looked down and mumbled, "nothing" . Then he crouched down before her so she could get on his back. Once she was secure, he took off for the village.
'I was right!' he thought once more. 'Something is weird, it's that lack of sincerity and expression. Her eyes, they seem dead and her voice lacks feeling. What happened Kagome? I won't force you to say..but please, give me back my Kagome. The one I love, and will love forever.'
************
They reached the village as the sun went down. Kirara and her passengers had already arrived, but were not seen by Kagome or Inuyasha.
Inuyasha turned to walk towards Kaede's hut, but Kagome's hand on his arm stopped him.
"Inuyasha." She said expressionlessly, "I want to talk to you. Come with me."
With that she turned and leading a very disturbed hanyou, headed out down the road that lead to Inuyasha's forest.
"Kagome." He called out to her when they left the village's boundaries. "Something's not right with you. I can tell. Please, tell me what it is so I can help you."
"Soon." She said sharply "Soon all will become clear.."
"Kagome!" He snapped, jumping ahead of her. He grabbed her shoulders and stared into her eyes. "Stop this game! You're hiding something! I can tell! Talk to me Kagome!"
'Yes!' Kagome cheered in her thoughts 'That's it Inuyasha. When I..no, she won't tell you, just get mad and go away. That way you won't be hurt.'
But Inuyasha had other plans.
Kagome glared into his eyes and pulled his hands off her shoulders.
"Unhand me. I said I will explain when we get there!" Kagome said coldly and stalked off.
Inuyasha was wounded by her words and recoiled, his eyes shone fear and uncertainty once more.
'Is this a trick? Was all she did up till now a trick to get me again?' He questioned in his mind as he reluctantly followed her. 'No! I won't believe that! She loves me! She said she'd never hurt me again!'
With his tortured thoughts plaguing his mind, Inuyasha didn't notice Kagome had stopped and was now facing him.
Through her eyes, Kagome could see the torture written on his face. He seemed as though he was fighting himself. Fighting his trust in her and the actions he had witnessed since awaking in the forest. Her coldness now was much like her coldness and hatred on that day she had lashed out at him so hard on the cliff in that self same forest.
'Inuyasha!' she cried out in her mind 'Run! Get away from here!'
'Keh!' the black miko's voice invaded her mind. 'You see now how little control he has over his heart! How little you have to do to break him! Your love for him, will not be strong enough to erase what will now transpire!'
"Inuyasha!" Kagome's voice cried out, as she placed both hands on his chest and shoved him back with strength born of warring emotions inside.
His back collided with the Great Sacred Tree. He had not even realized that they had reached the clearing of the Sacred Tree. It was the very same clearing where he had experienced his first stinging betrayal at the hands of Kikyou.
Now Kagome was setting him up for a third, the second at her hand and the second at this place.
Now, as Kagome spoke, her voice became had and her features darkened with rage.
"Inuyasha!" She cried out drawing out her bow, notching an arrow and pointing it at Inuyasha's heart. "Now you die! I will destroy you!"
She drew back the bow and training her arrow at Inuyasha's heart as her eyes fixed upon his tormented ones.
'I'm sorry Inuyasha!' Kagome cried out in her mind 'Forgive me!'
'She..she will betray me once more! She set me up for this! No, something is not right!' he thought then he cried out to her.
"Kago-!" His voice was cut off as Kagome's arrow was released and imbedded itself in his chest.
'She..she ended up the same as Kikyou! History repeated itself!' he thought agonized before he faded into darkness and became oblivious to the world.
