Hey! Okay, now since I'm posting this, I got real bored or I got super nice reviews, so Nah or thanks. *~_~* Well, we left our poor doggy hero with a broken heart and a strange new Kagome. What is a hanyou to do?
Kikyo has taken hostage Inuyasha's one true love. She demands so many things of the poor hanyou, can he comply? Will he be able to see past the rain and into the sun to find the truth, or will the bigger plot sneak up on him in the shadows and capture his soul as well? And when he discovers who this invisible monster is and what it's doing, will he be able to stop it and control his mixed emotions at the same time? Inuyasha is on the verge of submitting to the rain, and his true love is on the verge of becoming Kikyo permanently.

The rain beat down on his neck as he walked through the rain. He had no idea of where he was going, and he was oblivious to the young girl trailing him and screaming his name. He didn't flinch when she screamed, "SIT" and he only stood back up when his face was dragged to the ground. He walked on and on, standing back up when she yelled sit and moving to the side when she stood in front of him.
" Inuyasha! You stupid, lazy, hanyou lump! Wake up! You're making this harder for yourself…and her! She's so disappointed in you for not protecting her, and she's giving up." A smirk danced across the lips of the young girls face as Inuyasha stopped in his tracks and turned to face her
The tears streaming from his eyes mixed with the water dripping from his hair as he lifted his face to see her " You have no idea what she thinks and says, Kikyo. You are not her, and I will get her back."
" But I thought you loved me…" She imitated his misery " You said you'd protect me forever. Now, be a good dog and SIT!"
He fell to the ground and stood as soon as the rosary would permit. That was Kagome's body, but it wasn't Kagome. He grabbed her by the throat and lifted her into the air " You do not speak to me that way. You are dead and I love Kagome, you worthless piece of demon trash."
He tossed the squirming form to the mud and watched her stumble to her feet. Those eyes glared back at him with such a fierce hate that any mortal would have crumbled in fear. The broken hearted Inuyasha let the rain fall on him and he stood there as the girl tried to punch him. His head snapped back just before she could hit and his own hand reached up and grabbed her fist, twisting it in his iron grip. A whimper escaped the girl and he heard the bones snapping, and the hanyou released her and walked off, leaving her to fume in the muck.
He was met by the odd-ball band of shard hunters as soon as he leapt through the well, Shippou nearly wet his fur for anxiety and he pounced on the dog as soon as he say the red outfit "Inuyasha! Where's Kagome?! Where's Kagome!? Kagome! Kagome? I want Kagome back!"
He shook the little kit off and only stood there dripping as the little mass of fur cried and searched for the girl, and at that very moment, the demon exterminator Sango walked up to him "Where is she? Is she all right? Inuyasha, are you okay? Something happened. Tell us what's wrong. Is Kagome all right?"
Miroku also came to speak to him " Inuyasha, where's lady Kagome? She is all right, isn't she? Please tell us what's wrong."
" PERVERT!" Sango bashed him over the head with her boomerang " How can you grope me at a time like this?! Kagome is in danger, and she could die for all we know?"
" Will you all just SHUT UP!?!" Inuyasha shook with rage and misery " Kagome is NOT fine. Her body is in perfect condition but…. DAMN IT!!!! Kikyo has control of her mind!" He sank to the muddy dirt he'd been standing on and sat there, not knowing how to get his love back.
The three stared at him in shock and confusion. Shippou sank to the ground and cried. Sango sat in confusion, and hugged the little fox tightly. Miroku was the first to speak, " I don't understand. What are you all worked up about? It's just a little thing. We can fix this."
Inuyasha stared at him in disbelief, he yanked the hintai monk up by the front of his shirt, " Don't you get it?! Kagome-is-gone!!! She hasn't just been possessed by Kikyo, she IS Kikyo! Does that not connect?!"
Sango stood with the tiny hiccupping kit and turned to the two arguing men, " This isn't that much of a big deal, Inuyasha. We can find a way out of this. She can't possess her forever. She'll have to leave. You're being melodramatic and your both upsetting Shippou. Come on, we have to go see Kaede."
Inuyasha set the monk down with reluctance and turned away from them. He barely noticed the familiar scent in the air as he stomped off after the trio of shard hunters.
~~
Kikyo crouched down low, cursing Kagome's being a stupid miko. She watched the shard hunters leave before she finally clambered out of the bushes, and walked into the forest. She searched around for a little while before hearing the little frightened voice of the blue annoyance.
As she approached, Sesshoumaru was beating Jaken over the head with his retarded staff, " I don't care! I told you to KILL him, not ALMOST KILL him!! You incompetent little rodent!"
" Forgive me, Lord Sesshoumaru! I did my best! Ow! I'm sorry!" She held her laughter in and after a moment strolled into the clearing.
" What do you want? Get out of my sight before I kill you, you filthy human." He barely even looked up from beating Jaken
" Well, I suggest you take that back Sesshoumaru. I'm afraid Kagome is not herself at this moment. She is away and is currently under my control. I believe you know me, I am Kikyo."
The stare she received was one of not only confusion but mocking disbelief, " The one my brother was fond of for a short tim1? I doubt it."
" Well, sir. I do think it would be wise for you to humor me, for I know of a way for you to get Tetseiga and the miko Kagome at the same time. You see, my possession is only temporary. Her body can not handle me and my strenght and it will soon burn out. In the meantime, I have the hanyou at my feet, practically begging to have her back safely."
" I'm listening, woman. What is it you're ploting?" At that precise moment, the little blue burden decided to but in, " But Master! You can't trust her! Who's to say she won't turn against you?!" "Oh, be quiet!" Sesshoumaru killed him again, praying that it might take him a few minutes to come back at least. (A\N: Cause that damn thing won't stay dead!!!! Heh heh… *~_~*)
~~
"I like not the sound of this. It seems the young girl hath been possessed. If this the case be, then she may have only a short time to live." Kaede sipped her tea and her frustration was obvious as the glass shook in her hands, befor edropping and smashing on the floo " Oh, my. I must be more upset than I thought. Fetch that towel, Sango."
Sango handed her the cloth and Inuyasha stood there shaking with fury, "Here you are worrying about damn tea cups, when Kagome's life is in danger! There has to be something we can do! I won't stand by and let her die!!"
"We can only save her by getting rid of Kikyo, and Kikyo obviously wants something." Misoku said from his place beside Sango "The question is, what is it and can we give it."
"I have a feeling it has something to do with you and the shards, Inuyasha." Sango said between sips of tea
" No shit Sherlock! But how do we find out what it is?" He sat down and almost stood back up the next instant, for there, half shadowed in the doorway stood th girl possessed by Kikyo
" Why don't you just ask me? I would be glad to tell you. It's simple really." Everyone but Kaede stood as she walked into the room, and Shippou shifted in his sleep on the tiny mat beside the wall
" Well, wench? What do you want from us?" ( I see no need to elaborate on who is talking here. ?) " Give back Kagome!"
" Now, now my friend. Lady Kikyo can tell us of her own free will, though I advise she tell us now, else I might have to use this cursed hand of mine."
" Now now gentlemen. I shall tell you. As I said, it's simple. I want Inuyasha's life. With that I want his sword and the shards. That's all I want and you can have your precious miko back."
" Simple?! You want everything we have except ourselves! You can't keep Kagome, and you aren't taking the shards." Shippous small voice shocked everybody "Give her back!"
"Gee, thanks rodent. You can't have Tetseiga or the shards. Sorry, but we'll have to work things out another way."
"Well, it seems I cannot have what I want. So you shall not have what you want. I have said the conditions, so either give me what I want, or lose the miko."
Everyone stood silent for a moment while the rain poured, then Kaede spoke "This body will give out in a matter of hours and you will be forced out of it. The body will then begin an automatic shutdown. We will lose Kagome, and you will have to find another one with her powers, which won't come around for about another fifty years. Now, if we give what you ask, we lose Inuyasha, the shards and the sword. You will more than likely give the sword and body to Sesshoumaru. Yes, I know of your dealings with him, sister. You will use the shards to keep the miko alive long enough to find the remaining shards and you will return to Naraku, and the world as we know it will perish. Sorry, but we must decline."
" Whatever, Kaede. I'll give you all a moment to think this over, and then I will return. I had better receive what I ask for, or I will have to take it." With that the girl disappeared into the rain.
Inuyasha turned to the old woman "You have a plan?" She looked at him "Indeed my half human friend. Indeed.
" You see, I examined the body when she stood there. She was struggling to stay in control. If I am correct, the body will give out early."
" That's your plan?! To let Kagome die EARLY?! What the hell are you thinking?! She'll be gone! I can't live without her!"
" You misunderstand me lad. When that body gives out early, she will still be alive for a few days or so. I'm afraid she will begin to die then anyway, but there is still a way to save her. You must first find how she got into the body, then you will have to leave your own through that same way and enter Kagome's mind. I have seen this once before, long ago. A man went into the mind of his love and brought her back from death, and saved an entire nation with that one act. It is called the Solid Rain, what Kagome is experiencing, and you have to go in there and help her through the rain."
The flame of the fire flickered over all their faces as this odd situation set in. Nobody moved, not even when the shrill scream from the demon-possessed girl reached their ears. The rain pattered softly, even as Inuyasha went to retrieve the girls body. That one thought kept going through his mind, She's trapped in the rain, because I couldn't protect her. And now she's going to die unless I can save her. Can I do it?
~~
Can they really save her life? Well, R & R, and if you flame, I'll discontinue all fics I've written and I'll beat you with an obnoxiously orang paencil! Then, just for the hell of it, I'll lock in the same room as a Jaken that's in heat! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
