Chapter 6: The Queen of Hearts
-
-
Inu Yasha was still trembling from the electric shock that Kikyo gave him. It wasn't fun for him, let me tell you! He sat on the rafters glaring at the door. Usually Kagome would have been back by now. He was starting to get bored and lonely. Miroku was out cleansing the tombstones. Who knew where that psycho-bitch Kikyo and Sango were. Probably looking for Kagome or some shit like that. He looked down from the rafters and saw Shippou glaring up at him.
Inu Yasha didn't like the look in his eyes. He jumped down next to the kid and asked, "Oi! What's with the death glare over here?"
Shippou growled and said, "Why do you always have to be so mean to Kagome, huh?!"
What was wrong with this kid? A punk like him, sassing off to a demon like Inu Yasha?? He loomed over Shippou and asked, "Whatdya' mean?"
"Jerk! What do you think I mean?! Everytime she makes an attempt to do her job, you humiliate and embarrass her!!" Shippou shouted.
"Well what am I supposed to do?? Let her purify me?? I'm on a mission here, so-" Inu Yasha froze, realizing he was about to give himself away.
Shippou looked at him confused, "A mission?"
Inu Yasha turned around, "Keh! Forget about it! You heard nothing!" he jumped away, dropping something on the floor without realizing it. Shippou bent down and picked it up. It was a chain of sparkling red beads with a seashell at the end. Shippou looked up at Inu Yasha then sniffed it. It smelled like cinnamon, and some strange bitter odor he was not familiar with. He looked up at Inu Yasha again, then tucked it into his kimono shirt.
-
Kagome sat by the edge of a waterfall, sobbing loudly. At least the falls were louder then she was. "I hate him!" she cried. "I hate him, I hate him, I HATE him!!" she covered her mouth and choked on her own tears. She sniffed and tried to calm down a little. While taking deep breaths, the anger inside of her broiled dangerously.
She did hate him, but one of the reasons she had never been able to be a true priestess, was that when it came to the moment of truth, she would chicken out on killing someone. She wanted to kill him, more then ever! But that was an irrational thought, and she didn't know how!
It seemed that ever step she took, he took a stride; everything idea she had, backfired against her. Inu Yasha being a demon, had stronger spirit energy. He was definitely stronger then her and he knew it! She sniveled and wiped her eyes. Maybe she just had to except the fact that he was the strongest. Maybe he was right that she would never beat him. She could never ever win.
Kagome's eyes shot wide open.
Winning!
That was her answer! It was clear as crystal! Her job was to get the demon out of the village. They didn't say she HAD to kill him! As long as he was out of the village, it was okay! She could beat him! It was possible! Winning!! She could beat him! She could beat him! She really could beat him!!
-
The next day, Inu Yasha scared some more nuns away. But they were too easy, it was the priestesses like Kagome that wouldn't get a clue. Then he heard the doors of the church open. He turned around to see Kagome come in without friends around her to back her up. Usually, she would be looking around nervously, like he was going to jump out at her. But not this time. She casually walked from the doors and sat in the middle of the church's floor. She pulled something out of her kimono sleeve and he heard a flipping paperish sound.
Well he was curious now, and just so inquisitive he had to go around and look at what she was doing. By closer inspection, meaning he leapt over and sat in front of her. She sat cross-legged on the floor, a confident ready smile plastered on her fair skinned face, shuffling a deck of cards.
And Inu Yasha couldn't help but wonder what in the seven hells she was up to. "What are you scheming, wench?" he asked.
She grinned at him, which not only freaked him out, but turned him on. "Well, Inu Yasha," she started. "Apparently, my regular exorcism ideas won't work on you. I've pretty much tried everything I could think of and nothing worked. I tried hard to be a priestess like Kikyo and Kaede." She stopped shuffling and drew the first card from the deck that was ironicly the queen of hearts. "But then I realized, I must be a priestess like Kagome!"
He clapped sarcastically and said, "Good for you!"
Her expression became serious. She did a fancy shuffle with the cards then set them on the floor in front of her. "I'll make a deal with you!" she said. "Play me a game of poker, and if I win, you have to leave this village forever!"
He looked at her serious determined expression. "And if I win?"
She looked at the cards and said, "And if you win, you can possess me."
He grinned excitedly. "It's a deal!"
Kikyo, Sango, Shippou, and Miroku, who had been hiding and watching until now jumped out.
"No, Kagome don't!" Shippou said running over to her.
"Don't trust him Kagome!" Sango said. "He'll probably cheat or something."
Inu Yasha fehed and said, "I don't have to cheat! I aways win!"
Kagome smiled down at Shippou then at Inu Yasha and said, "So do I!"
-

Kagome dealt five cards to him and herself then they both picked up their hands. Kagome mentally growled, as she didn't have any good starting cards. She looked up at Inu Yasha who was grinning at his cards. He smirked up at her and said, "No tricks now!"
She just glared back and said, "Same to you!"
They looked at their cards and started playing.
Everyone, including the leftover nuns sat a few feet away watching. Shippou sat in Kikyo's lap while Kagome was busy. He looked incredibly worried and Kikyo noticed. She patted him on the head and said, "Are you okay, Shippou?"
He looked up at her with his eyes full of anxiety, "What if Kagome loses??" he said.
"Don't worry Shippou." Sango said. She winked at him and said, "Kagome is the best card player I know. When she's around, Kikyo and I never win!"
"I don't know." Miroku said. "I've seen Inu Yasha play too. There was a band of samuri rouges that came to this town a little while ago, playing high stakes poker. Inu Yasha played them and walked away with practically everything they had."
The air was thick with tension as Kagome drew the next card. She put it in her hand and her eyes scanned her other cards comparing what she had. Her eyes were frozed in a serious concentrating stare. She looked over her cards up at Inu Yasha, he was smirking confidently at his cards. He looked serious but at the same time thinking about his prize. But she couldn't let that bother her now, she had to keep her mind set on winning and nothing else.
Inu Yasha looked over his cards and his grin spread. He looked up at Kagome. "You ready?"
She looked up at him intently and he laid his cards down. He had the 2 of diamonds, the 3 of diamonds, the 4 of diamonds, and the five and six of diamonds! A straight flush! He was going to enjoy taking over her body.
"No! Kagome!" Shippou shouted.
"Well?" he asked, as she still held up her cards.
She looked at his arrogant expression then at everyone else who was holding their breath. Then she looked back at him and a smile spread over her face. "Pretty good!"
He smiled back showing his fangs. Then she laid her cards down. She had the ace, king, jack, ten, and queen of hearts! "But not good enough!" she smiled victoriously. "A royal flush!!"
Everyone cheered. Inu Yasha looked at her cards in wide eyed disbelief. Kagome stood up and pointed out the church doors. She smiled down at Inu Yasha and said, "Hit the road, Jack!"
He smiled up at her and said, "No."
Everyone stopped cheering. Kagome looked down at him bewildered and said, "What?"
He simply said, "Make me." All of a sudden, both he and the cards started to glow. He looked around like he didn't know what was going on, then before he knew what happened, he was lifted off of the floor by an invisible force and flung out the church doors. He skidded across the ground like a skipping stone and ran into a tree. He recovered dazed and furious. He got up and faced the church. Kagome and came down the steps followed by everyone else.
He jumped up and shouted, "What the seven hells was that?!"
Kagome held up her deck of cards, "I kind of figured that you wouldn't leave after I won, so I spent a whole day charming these cards, where if I won, they would act by sealing you out of the church."
He looked at her furiously, "You witch!" he jumped up and tried to jump back into the church, but he was thrown back by a newly erected barrier. Humans could pass through it, but he couldn't.
He tried again and was thrown onto his back. He looked up and Kagome stood behind his head. "Give up. You'll never set foot in that church again."
He looked up at her speechless then sat up staring blankly at the church. "But," he said to himself. "The mission!"
