Disclaimer: Now really, I shouldn't even have to mention this. But in case
you forgot, Inuyasha and his wonderful wonderfulness belongs to Rumiko
Takahashi, not me. I wish he did though.
A cookie for anyone who guessed who the voice was! Well, how bout an imaginary cookie, in which case, cookies for everyone!
Chapter Four: The Kidnapping
Kikyou walked closer to Inuyasha and Kagome. Inuyasha stepped in front of Kagome, as if to shield her.
"My my my, it does look like I am interrupting something after all. Is it true, Inuyasha? Do you no longer love me?"
"I stopped loving you long ago, Kikyou. The Kikyou I knew would never be as cold and heartless as you."
"So you love this girl then? You love her truly?" Kikyou laughed. "She isn't nearly half the woman I was Inuyasha. She'll never be as strong or powerful as I was."
"Feh. The old Kikyou never once mentioned anything about being powerful. And you're wrong, you're not even half the woman she is." He didn't answer the question.
"Touchy touchy. I'd watch it if I were you Inuyasha." As Kikyou said this, demons flew to her side. There were all sorts of demons; big ones, small ones, most resembled worms. "They will attack you at my command if you're not careful." She warned. "As I was saying, your silly little girl can't even shoot a TRULY purifying arrow. Not one like mine anyway."
"Kikyou why are you here?" Kagome shouted at her. "And why should you care what he says? You wanted revenge not love, remember?" Inuyasha turned to Kagome in surprise. It wasn't like her to get involved like that with enemies.
"Never you mind. Why don't you go back to your own time?" Kikyou turned to a red demon on er right. "If she so much as moves, kill her."
"Leave her alone!" Inuyasha growled as he pulled out the powered up Tetsusiaga.
Kikyou smirked. She was hoping he would pull out that sword of his; she wanted to see him in some serious action. "Have it your way." She nodded to the demons behind her. Suddenly the entire crowd of demons, hundreds and hundreds, moved forward toward Inuyasha and Kagome.
Inuyasha readied his sword. "Wind scar!" he called out as at least a hundred demons vaporized in the blast.
Miroku woke with a start. What was that rumble? He heard a voice yelling, one that sounded distinctly like Inuyashas. A bright light flashed and Miroku heard a scream. He jumped up quick and shook Hojou. "Wake up! Now!"
"No mommy, I didn't do it! Jouki is lying!" Hojou rolled over.
Miroku shook Hojou. Hojou let out a high pitched scream and his eyes flew open.
"Inuyasha and possibly Kagome are in trouble. We must go to their aid now."
"S'okay if you do it? This party's wearing me out." Hojou said sleepily.
"For the last time, this IS NOT a party! They could be killed, come on!" Miroku pulled Hojou on his feet. Hojou began to slump over on the wall. That's it! Miroku thought.
"Lazy ass! Move it now!! Unless you'd rather see Kagome dead and never be able to go home?" Miroku kicked Hojou in the shins. He let out a yelp as Sango, Kaede, Shippou and Kirara walked into the room.
"What are you doing Miroku?" Sango asked in a shocked voice. Sure, he was perverted, but he usually wasn't that mean. "He wouldn't get up no matter how much I told him that Inuyasha and Kagome were in trouble."
"Well I'm up now." Hojou said, rubbing his leg.
"Who cares?" Shippou said. "They need help, let's go!"
As the six ran through the forest toward the voices and battle noises, Shippou asked Hojou "Why do your pajamas come with feet?" (A/N footys, you know! And why yes, he managed to bring his pajamas to the feudal era. We'll say they're his lucky footy pjs and he can't go anywhere without them, so he brought them with to Kagome's. Sure, why not?)
As they entered the clearing, they saw Inuyasha battling demons while Kagome nd Kikyou looked on. Kagome was behind Inuyasha was a very worried face, while Kikyou was just to his left and wearing a peculiar grin. Kagome heard them approach and ran up to them. "Here is your bow child." Kaede brought Kagome her bow as Miroku, and Sango, riding Kirara, walked next to Inuyasha, ready to fight. Shippou was in Kaede's arms and Hojou was standing next to them on his footy pajamas, severely confused.
"Is it a movie or something?" He asked. "How did they get in it? How did they make the screen so big? It fits seamlessly" He cried in awe. Kagome didn't even bother to say "Why no, this isn't a movie, it's a life and death situation." and moved a few feet behind Inuyasha. She had her bow for protection, if the others couldn't slay a demon before they came to her but she was sure that she wouldn't need it. Kikyou was, after all, a faster archer. Kagome was almost equal in skill, but Kikyou could draw and shoot an arrow almost twice as fast as Kagome could draw one.
Until Kagome moved, Kaede had not seen her dead sister. Now she saw Kikyou's form. "Sister Kikyou." She murmured. "What are you doing?"
"Ah, Kaede you've come to watch the spectacle?" Kikyou said when she heard Kaede.
"You are no miko, sister. No pure miko would form an alliance with demons. So many black hearts are too many for a miko even of your stature to handle."
"Hush, little sister, and watch." Kikyou responded as Miroku opened his wind tunnel to take in demons. Sango was slaying demons as well using her boomerang and Inuyasha was slicing through still others with his claws. The number of demons never seemed to decrease, however, and Kagome wondered how long the others could continue to fight the way they were.
"I am not thine sister. No sister I had would ever do such a thing." Kaede replied.
Kikyou turned to the old woman and was about to retort when she spotted Hojou. "You there, boy, from whence did you come?"
"Boy you guys really are into this stuff. I can't believe you woke me up for this!" was all he replied.
"There is something about him. . . something about his aura. It's so thick and dense; I cannot tell what it is." Kikyou muttered. Unfortunately, Shippou overheard.
"That thick dense aura you see is just his stupidity. You'll see that as soon as he opens his mouth." Kaede and Kagome looked down at the kitsune. That was completely out of character and they were shocked. Shippou never said anything rude about anyone to their face before, not like that anyway.
"Hmm, well perhaps I shall find out for myself." A soul stealer (A/N I forgot what they're called! I'm sorry, please not too many bad comments!) of Kikyou's swooped down and picked her up. As it began to fly back into the air, it made a final swoop and Kikyou grabbed the sleepy Hojou.
"Wha?" was all Hojou said. He seemed to have fallen asleep while standing.
"Bring him back!" Kagome shouted as Kikyou and Hojou flew through the night sky. As Kikyou disappeared, so did the demons. Inuyasha's claw sliced through empty air as he fell to the ground.
"What happened?" he asked incredulously.
"Kikyou has kidnapped Hojou!" Kagome cried, rushing up to him. "We have to go save him!"
"Feh."
"What do you mean, 'feh'? How am I supposed to explain his disappearance to his parents or the school or anybody?" Kagome looked at Inuyasha. Not twenty minutes ago he was acting tender and kind. Now he was back to the original Inuyasha, the one she knew so well.
"Well with a head like that he's not bound to be too sorely missed." Inuyasha replied casually. He really didn't want to go after Hojou. He hated Hojou because Inuyasha could tell Hojou liked Kagome. Maybe he liked her a little too much. If Hojou were to disappear, Hojou's chances with Kagome would disappear as well.
"SIT!" Kagome yelled in frustration. Inuyasha fell to the ground. Wincing, he stood back up.
"Listen, wench, I ain't searching for some stupid boy who can't take care of himself. He's not worth saving anyway. Can't even--"
"SIT SIT SIT SIT!!!!!" Kagome yelled again. This time Inuyasha crashed down even harder. It was a few seconds before he tried to stand up again.
"Stop doing that!"
"Well you're being unreasonable!"
"He ain't worth it!"
"Argh!" Kagome turned her back on him. Sometimes Inuyasha could be so callous! He doesn't care about anything unless it was regarding the stupid jewel! Kagome thought to herself.
"Inuyasha, we really do have to go for the boy." Miroku intervened.
Inuyasha just growled in response.
"The boy is not my favorite person either, but it is our duty to find him." Miroku reasoned.
"Fine. If everyone insists on finding Koho, let's just leave now. We'll be able to follow the trial easier."
No one bothered to correct Hojou's name, no one really cared. Kagome looked at Inuyasha. "Well are you coming or not?" Inuyasha asked spitefully. "Climb on." He indicated his back. Kagome smiled a bit as she climbed on Inuyasha's back. Amazing, really. No matter what's going on, even after an argument, Inuyasha still offered in his own way to carry Kagome. Miroku and Shippou hopped on Kirara and the group went off into the night, using Inuyasha's nose to guide them.
~~~~~~~~~ Follow your nose, where ever it goes! Okay, enough Toucan Sam. Anywho, sorry every one seems so out of character. I may have accidentally altered them for story purposes. Yes, and don't yell at me about forgetting the soul stealer thinys of Kikyou's proper name. It's exactly 12:22:17 AM (Central time if you insist) and I am sleepy but I stayed up to write just for you! Thanks for all the reviews! They were oh, so beautiful. I nearly cried. Alright, so I have not written out all the chapters (obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be here so late writing this ^-^) but I'm thinking there will be a total of 7-8 chapters. Heh, and I just thought of a one page thing for a lovely follow up but never you mind. Okay, well long note, so I'll let you go enjoy other fanfics now. Review more, I'll even take flamers (I have a fire extinguisher ready!)
P.S. Kikyou is a slut and must DIE! DIE A HORRIBLE PAINFUL AND SLOW DEATH!!!!! Muhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Haha. But that doesn't give away the ending.
