Double Trick



"Kagome?" asked Inuyasha looking at her worriedly. Kagome had been looking for the

Jewel her Master told her to find before her death, but Kagome didn't even have a trace where it

might be.

"Inuyasha, I'm fine. The way your looking at me, it seems as though I'll die any minute

now." Kagome replied trying to assure her old friend that she was fine.

"How can you not worry when there is so many people after this Jewel."

"No use worrying. Even if we worry, the Jewel wouldn't just show up."

"Your right, I'll go out and see what I can do to help."

"Thank you Inuyasha." said Kagome thankfully as she got up to go for a walk to clear her

mind.

"Naraku!" yelled his mother, the Mistress of the Red Flower Army. Currently, their base is in

a underground tunnel.

"Yes mother?" asked Naraku as he bowed before her.

"I need to meditate for somewhere around a year. When I am done, my powers will be

unstoppable! Mwah ha ha ha! So I don't want anyone to disturb me, is that understood?"

"Yes mother."

"Good, also I want you to start searching for the Jewel I told you about."

"I will, but where do I start searching?"

"I don't know, but you have to go to the capitol and discuss with the emperor's 'faithful'

servant Yura on how to over throw him."

"I'll leave right away."

As Naraku closed the door to his mother's room, he ordered everybody to not disturb her

unless they wish to die. The only ones allowed in would be the maids who would bring her food,

but can't make a sound."

Kagome walked into a nearby village when an arrow zoomed toward her. She caught it

with ease and read the note attached to it.

Dear Mistress Kagome,

I, Ronoko, would like a word with you. It is really important, so come quickly. I

am in the forest a mile from the village you are at.

Kagome looked at the letter, but didn't trust it. She went anyway, to see this Ronoko. As

she entered the shady, green forest, there stood a youkai around the 30's. She was about to ask if

he was this Ronoko guy when he fell to the ground and started to moan in pain. Kagome's kind

nature kicked in and rushed to help him.

Just as she bent down to see what was wrong, Ronoko tapped Kagome's pressure point, and

paralyzed Kagome. "What I heard was right, you are powerful, but your weakness is your

kindness."

Kagome glared at him, telling him with her eyes that once she got out of this, he will have

a most painful death. Ronoko grabbed her and pulled her into a restaurants in the village she was

in earlier. Then he began ordering a bunch of food with lots of wine. The people and youkais in

the restaurants kept starring at Kagome. They were entranced by her beauty and wondering why

she was with such an plain looking youaki, who everybody could tell was much older then her.

"What do you want with me?" asked Kagome menacingly.

"I get paid if I bring your head back to the three youkai leaders."

"You mean those dimwits!"

"Whatever, as long as I get paid, I don't care."

Kagome was getting really mad when Sesshoumaru walked in and sat at their table since

there was none left. Sesshoumaru looked from Ronoko to a close to exploding Kagome. Then he

asked, "What is your name?"

"What, huh?" Ronoko was trying to figure out who he was talking to.

"I thought you told me your name was Ronoko, not what huh." said Kagome

sarcastically.

"Oh, your talking to me." said Ronoko putting down his wine.

"Yes I am talking to you."

"Okay, like she said, my name is Ronoko."

"Um, Ronoko."

"Yes."

"Why isn't she moving and glaring daggers at you?"

"I'm not afraid to say it, but I am a paid assassin to kill her."

"Oh!"

"Why are you guys talking like I don't exist!" Kagome said her eyes were beginning to

glow red.

"Well how about we have a match." said Sesshoumaru with a smirk, "If you win, I will

pay for this meal and I won't bug you anymore."

"Sounds good."

"But if I win, you let her go."

"Sure, but you won't win. I can tell you are just fresh out of training." (It's true! Sesshoumaru

isn't that strong YET! Kagome and Ronoko are stronger right now! But that will change as the

story progresses.)

"I'm not done, and you have to call her master and become her disciple."

"Fine, lets go outside and see who wins."

"I never said we were fighting."

"Then what? I can beat you at everything."

Sesshoumaru took out a dagger and placed it on the table. "Who ever can stab himself the

most, and lives wins."

"What! Are you insane?"

"No, I'll go first since I came up with it." Sesshoumaru took the dagger and stabbed

himself and grunted in pain. "Now it's your turn, help me pull the dagger out."

"Never mind, you win." Ronoko was going to leave when Sesshoumaru grabbed him and

said, "Keep your promise and free her. Don't forget to call her Master."

Ronoko undid his trick and got on his knees and bowed to Kagome and called her

Master. Then Ronoko ran out totally embarrassed. The others in the restaurant started laughing

and resumed eating. Kagome rushed to Sesshoumaru and asked, "Are you okay? Why did you do

that?"

Sesshoumaru seeing the worried looked smiled and said, "I'm fine." then he took out the

dagger and there was no wounds at all.

"Huh?"Kagome asked surprised.

Then Sesshoumaru put his finger on the blade and pushed in. The blade went inside the

handle, the dagger was a fake. "Where did you learn to do that?" asked Kagome.

"From him." replied Sesshoumaru, "He showed me not everyone plays fairly."

Kagome smiled at him and laughed, unable to hold it in an longer. "Thanks for helping

me." said Kagome and then went back to her fortress.

"Hey Ronoko!" called the three youkais as they came out from their hiding places.

Ronoko turned to them and looked at them with annoyance.

"Did you kill her?" asked all three.

"If you want to kill her, do it yourself."

"We would if we could. We'll pay a higher price, does that sound good to you?"

"No!" Ronoko turned and walked away when he overheard them say, "We'll just have to

find someone else then."

Ronoko in a flash was right in front of them. "If any of you harm my Master, I will kill

you." then he was gone.

The three youkai leaders just stood there stuttering, " Ma- Master? We send him to kill

her and he becomes her disciple!" screamed the lizard youkai.
