Chapter 6

Inuyasha was exhausted.

Kagome, midafternoon on the second day, had gone into a primal state and lost all inhibitions with him.

They had maybe slept a total of four hours out of the last 36. Most of the time other than that, Kagome had been apparently planning new ways to help Inuyasha through her heat.

Groggily looking down upon the sleeping form of his mate, Inuyasha could only make an intrigued expression when he really wanted to ask her about some of it. How did humans last that long if a hanyou, with increased endurance and stamina, could be worn out to the point of barely consciousness. And some of the places in the shrine that she had wanted to do it on.. he only knew that he would never look at the alter the same again. Or almost anywhere in the building.

Collapsing down upon the bedding and pulling his mate close he closed his eyes and felt for their link. It had only strengthened during the last three days.

First had been the mind reading. Next he had been able to feel some of the emotions and feelings she was feeling. Now he was noticing that her canines had lengthened and her eyes now had a yellow starburst pattern through them. Wondering briefly about what other things were going to happen, since the flashing had yet to stop, Inuyasha blanked his mind out and clung to the connection in his mind as well as the physical one, and felt true contentment as he fell asleep.



Far into the eastern lands a youkai lusted for the Shikon jewel.

She had been told about the jewels power and how the rulers of the Western lands protected the jewel and how it was the pride of their kingdom.

No youkai had the guts to use the jewel after a few misfortunes that the wish the jewel gave any youkai crated ruin upon those who used it for their own gain, but the ruler of the eastern land did not care. She was sure that the jewel would be able to grant her greatest desire.

The ruler of the eastern lands did not like humans, hated them in fact and thought that they were useless for anything but labor, which was why no humans married or mated any youkai in her lands without a swift death. Why banish them if they only went to the western lands and there were just more of the little abominations.

Humans were the scourges of the earth and she meant to make every single one of them disappear.

Summoning her two most faithful humans to come to her chamber, the queen of the eastern lands wrinkled her nose in short disgust before looking down at her most dispensable yet skilled minions.

"Miroku, Sango, I want you to go deep into the western lands and retrieve a jewel from there for me." The queen circled the pair; they were strong and easily manipulated since they were each other's weakness. Curling a clawed finger over Miroku's cheek making sure to just graze it with the tip on her claw, the queen watched in amusement as Sango tried vainly to hide the fear for her mate. Smiling evilly at the two, the queen continued to tell them of their assignment. "This jewel goes by the name of the "Shiko no tama" it is very special and if you do a good job you will be released from me forever."

Watching the pair stiffen slightly, the queen smiled at them before telling them to go after telling them it's location.

Watching them briefly, the queen smiled after they left. She had sent the two on missions before, and never promised them something so tempting before. They had tried to escape before and to no avail, but if they did a good job she was sure she would be nice to them and give them a reward. Not the one that she had promised, but a reward.

Humans were so weak and weak minded. If they ever found out what the jewel could really do, she would never see them again. In all reality they could ruin her. But then humans were stupid creatures so she shrugged it off.

Looking over her domain, Kirara ran her red tipped claws through her flame colored hair briefly. As she ran her fingered down the sides of her long white and billowy kimono. Her yellow eyes peered out at the disgustingly happy summer day.

Walking out of the master bedroom that connected to the sitting room she was currently in, Kirara only smiled as her concubine Shippo's arms circled her waist.

Leaning back into his tall muscular form, she briefly played with his red hair before looking into his blue eyes and kissing him. Soon she would be the most powerful ruler and Inutashio wouldn't know what hit him or his human slut.





Note: Well you wanted to know who the bad guy was. I just couldn't resist it being someone you didn't expect. Don't worry though. Miroku and Sango cross over from the dark side. We don't want them to be too evil do we? Also just for your knowledge, yes Naraku is a good guy in this fic. He is even a full demon. Ohhhhh. Scary hu?
