The One and Only

Does anyone know who invented the shower? I need to give them a hug..

Chapter 9:

Summary of the last chapter: Kikyo reflecting on how everyone has been treating her, and Sesshomaru and Kagome kiss.

Now, on with the REAL story.

A silver orb sat on a dark pedestal, the contents writhing in complete disgust. A shadowed hand strayed above it, commanding it to do its devilish deeds.

"So, the hanyou has chosen. This should be interesting." A harsh and chilling voice called out from the darkness that protected him. A white pelt with a blue face of an animal seeped out of the edge of the darkness, but only for a short period of time.

"Looks as if I have some business to attend to."

Three days. She had been gone for three days. When he had said she could leave, he was expecting more like a few hours.

He was still amazed at how she affected him. No human had ever been able to do that. Well, with the exception of Rin. What was it with them that did?

Humans just confused him. And he'd leave it at that.

"Bye Mom, Gramps, Souta! I'll hopefully be back in a couple of weeks..or months." Kagome mumbled the last part of her sentence to herself. She had no idea as to when Sesshomaru would let her come back.

Kagome went into the well house. So many times had Inuyasha bound through that same well, eager to get her. But now, she realized, it was only because she was his 'shard detector'. She never meant anything to him. Nothing more to him than Kikyo, at least. Why else would he have traded her for Kikyo?

Kagome bound into the well, the all too familiar purple light surrounding her. She landed on the ground, and climbed up the sturdy vines.

Kagome climbed over the well's rim and stopped.

"Ah, the miko's reincarnation. I was expecting Kikyo, but you'll do. Considering you are her."

"What do you want Naraku?"

"I'm going to kill you."

What does Naraku have concocting in that messed up skull of his? You'll know tomorrow. Depending on if I feel like writing any.

Or I WON'T post the next chapter. Well, actually, I'll probably end up posting it anyway. But it would be encouraging if you sent me one.
