Chapter three is up. Thanks for all of your wonderful reviews. I just adore
them! ^_^
But as you know, I don't own Inu Yasha; therefore, you can't sue. ^_^
Kagome: Well, that's putting it in direct terms.
Authoress: Yep.
Oh yeah forgot to tell you, there are 3 of flashbacks in here.
The heat of the fire increased, as Miroku threw in more firewood. He wiped the beads of sweat off of his forehead with his sleeve, and walked back over to the spot where he sat before: Next to Sango.
"I swear it gets hotter and hotter every time." Sango said, fanning herself.
"Yeah Miroku. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to put so much wood in after all." Kagome chimed in. Kagome looked at Shippo and Kiala only to see them fast asleep. She smiled at the cute little sleeping forms.
Suddenly, Kagome noticed Inu Yasha far off in the corner of the room. He looked like he was deep in thought, but she knew that there was something more.
{Inu Yasha looks so depressed.Oh that's right; Miroku told me that he found Kikyo with Sesshomaru. No wonder! Boy I feel sorry for him. I wish there was something I can do to make him feel better.} She thought.
Suddenly, she was face to face with an annoyed hanyou. She jerked back, almost falling flat on her back.
"Something fascinates you?" Inu Yasha asked.
"Uh no!" Kagome lied, giving off a nervous smile.
"What would make you think that?"
"Cause you keep looking at me that's why!" He yelled. Then, he got up and left the hut, sliding the wooden door loudly behind him.
Kagome really felt bad. After what Inu Yasha went through today, she had to go and make it worse! (But he's always like that isn't he? ^_^)
"Don't worry Lady Kagome, he's just going through some emotional turmoil right now, but he'll get over it." Said a small voice.
Kagome turned her head to see a pint size yukai sitting Indian-style on her shoulder.
"Myoga? When did you get here?" She asked.
"Oh, well you see." He said nervously.
It was well known that when something bad goes down, Myoga isn't around to help. (Where he goes, no-one-knows. -_-)
"Oh never mind; I just want to know why he is acting this way? He is never like this when he .wait! He's never lost a battle has he?" She asked.
"True he hasn't, but that's not the point. You see Inu Yasha has lost more than a battle. He lost the priestess Kikyo to Sesshomaru, and her reliance."
"Reliance?"
"Inu Yasha believes that throughout all of her hatred, somewhere very deep in her heart, she still had feelings for him." Myoga answered.
"Before Naraku got to them, they used to rely on each other, making them the best of friends." He continued.
Kagome finally understood. {Inu Yasha feels betrayed. He had feelings for her; strong feelings, and it was taken away by Sesshomaru.} She thought.
Then she stood up. "Then, we'll just have to get them back together!"
"Well how will you do that?" Asked Miroku, who happened to be listening on their conversation.
Kagome didn't think of that.
"Sesshomaru and Kikyo may be miles away. How will we find them?" Sango asked.
"I don't know." She said sounding disappointed.
"Wait! Isn't Sesshomaru the lord of the West lands?" She asked. Well, that's where we'll go!" She said.
{I have got to get Inu Yasha and Kikyo back together}
{FLASHBACK}
Kikyo ran over to the other side where the Inu group stood; that's when she noticed Kagome.
{Uh-oh, she sees me; I'm in for it now.} Kagome thought. She closed her eyes hoping that it would be all over.but nothing happened. She opened her eyes to see a very upset Kikyo. She gingerly walked over to her, and placed her hand on her shoulder. Kikyo looked up, but all Kagome saw was a face full of tears.
"I never meant for this to happen." Kikyo said.
"END FLASHBACK}
{Don't worry Kikyo; I'll make things better.I promise} She declared.
"Well, what do we do?" Sango asked.
"Well, here's the plan." Kagome said.
Meanwhile.
Kikyo couldn't get the image of Inu Yasha out of her memory. He looked so angry, defeated, and heartbroken. She tossed and turned violently in her sleep, as her nightmare worsened.
Inside her dream.
The scene is pitch black; Kikyo walks towards what seems to be a silhouette. As she gets closer, she recognizes the figure.
"Inu Yasha!" She calls out. Her voice echoes through the endless void.
There is no answer
"Inu Yasha can you hear me?" She called out again.
Still no answer
As she walks towards him, he suddenly walks away only looking back once. Kikyo, afraid that she would never see him again, runs to him; or at least tries to. The closer she gets to him, the farther away he gets.
{It seems like he is trying to get out of my reach!} She thought. Suddenly, the floor opens up; she falls into the dark hole in the ground.
"Inu Yashaaaaaaaaaa!" She cries, but again there is no answer.
She continues to fall through the pit that really never seems to end. She looks behind her, and to her horror, she sees on the ground a field of sharp wooden spikes.
A/N: Ok, the nightmare is finally over (Phew!)
Kikyo woke up crying. She had never experienced such horror in her life; even when she was alive.
With the dream still fresh in her mind, she left her sleeping quarters to go see Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru was in the courtyard of his castle, looking at the moon. For some strange reason, he has been looking at the moon for the past 3 days. All of a sudden, he heard footsteps approaching. It was Kikyo. He noticed that something was upsetting her.
He held her by the hand, and guided her to sit down next to him. As she did, he also noticed that she had bee crying.
"Is something bothering you priestess?" He asked.
Kikyo wiped away her tears, and answered without frustration.
"I had a dream; it seemed precognitive. I dreamed that Inu Yasha was slipping away from me. It seemed awfully painful!" She cried.
Sesshomaru seemed interested in the priestess's story; the word "Inu Yasha slipping away" mentioned seemed to come to his attention.
"How so?" He asked.
"By losing him, I have to face dire consequences. Something doesn't seem right; maybe the gods are trying to tell me something." She added.
"I wonder what they're trying to inform you about." He said, stroking her long black hair; obviously trying to calm her down.or leave her into a false sense of security.
Suddenly Jaken, Sesshomaru's retainer, ran into the courtyard as if something terrible was chasing him.
"Master Sesshomaru, Master Sesshomaru! The plan was full proof! Master, you are a genius; getting the priestess to fall in love with you, so you can do away with Inu Yasha once and for all; pure genius!"
His cover was blown completely, and there stood one angry priestess.
"Plan?" Her voice rose.
Again, she has been betrayed. She had never felt so cheated in her life!
"HOW CAN YOU PLAY WITH SOMEONES EMOTIONS LIKE THAT?" She yelled.
There was no answer from both the Yukai and his advisor.
"USING ME TO GET RID OF INU YASHA?"
Tears streamed down her eyes, as her anger rose into an immense level.
What do you take me for? A fool?" She asked under her breath.
As she ran back to her room, Sesshomaru glared at Jaken; eyes burning a crimson red. (Oh Jaken, you're in trouble ^o^)
"You Baka!" He said in a low voice; Lethal and cruel.
"M-Master, what troubles you?" Jaken nervously asked.
The angry Yukai grabbed the frightened green things color, and lifted him up by this collar up to his eye level.
Jaken squeaked with terror, as he tried to wiggle himself out of his master's tight grip.
"You ruined everything! How do you expect me to get rid of that damn half- breed if you keep running your mouth?" He asked squeezing him tighter.
"Master Sesshomaru, gomenasai!" He cried.
Beads of sweat ran down his forehead, as he prayed to the gods that Sesshomaru wouldn't either turn into a gigantic dog, or worse.
"Gomenasai Master Sesshomaru, I'll never do it again I swear to the-" "ENOUGH!" He barked.
Jaken recoiled, knowing that this was it; he was going to die, but nothing happened.
Sesshomaru's eyes where back to normal, and his grip loosened; and as a result, poor little Jaken fell on the ground head first. (Laughing madly ^o^)
Sesshomaru looked at the moon once more, and began to walk back to the castle.
As Jaken picked himself up and gasping for air, Sesshomaru stopped and looked back.
"Make sure you don't." He warned.
Little Jaken nodded, and watched his master disappear into the darkness.
With anger, heartbreak, and revenge swirling around madly inside her, Kikyo buried her head in her arms on the windowsill crying.
"Inu Yasha, how could this have happened? My heart feels so heavy because of this burden. Sesshomaru; as long as I am still able to walk, I will never forgive you.NEVER!!!" She cried.
Out of the blue, Rin (Yay Rin's here! ^o^) who was skipping through the halls, happened to notice Kikyo crying in her room. Curious, she approached the sulking form, and stood next to her.
Kikyo turned a bit to see who was standing there. Kikyo has never seen her before.not up close anyway.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"Rin; why does lady cry?" She asked innocently.
"Rin is it? Beautiful name Rin." Kikyo said as she wiped away her tears with her sleeve.
"Why does lady cry?" Rin asked again. "I'm sad." She answered
"Why?"
"I've lost someone I've loved." Kikyo answered.
"The cute little doggy that Sesshomaru hates?"
{Little doggy? Oh she means Inu Yasha.} She thought.
"Yes."
Rin sat down, smoothing her kimono. Then she looked up and smiled; her eyes were of innocence and play.
"Then Rin should help!" She said.
Kikyo chuckled to herself {How determined} She thought.
"Well how? She asked.
"Rin will help you run away from Sesshomaru-samma." She whispered pointing to the door.
"Arigato Rin." Kikyo said as she got to her feet.
Rin got up and grabbed her hand, leading her to a small corridor. Kikyo had no idea where this girl was leading her, but she that she meant well.
Rin opened a small door leading to the outside. Kikyo smiled at Rin again, only to be hugged by her.
"Rin will be missing lady." She whispered.
"Kikyo is my name." She said.
"Then Rin shall miss Kikyo." Rin replied.
Tears came to Rin's eyes, as she gave her new friend a hug for the last time, tighter than the first one.
"And I will miss you too." She said, while comforting her.
To Kikyo, Rin reminded her of Kaiede when she was younger. The thought of her little sister made her smile.
And that, Kikyo disappeared through the door, never to be seen again by the young Rin.
"She's escaped." Said a familiar voice, as he once again looked at the moon from his window.
Authoress: Oh something is going to happen ^_^
Kagome: I just can't believe that she left the castle, after the plan that I had in store. .
Authoress: Calm down Kagome.
Miroku: I wonder where she's off to.
Inu Yasha: *shows claws* Why do you want to know? Miroku: Uh, no reason. ^_^() Authoress: Um.Ok.Well anyway, I can't wait to post up chapter 4. "Entangled Passion." Kikyo: Rated PG-13 for language and mild ..uh oh never mind I forgot Miroku is sitting behind me. Miroku: ^___^ *Sango hits him with the boomerang bone*
But as you know, I don't own Inu Yasha; therefore, you can't sue. ^_^
