Memories

Inuyasha ran off with Adaire in his arms, running fast towards the village, towards Kaeda. The smell of her blood in his nose, the same scent as always when she was bleeding. Adaire, the incarnation of Naraku that looks exactly like Kagome, mentally thanked Kagome in her head. Without Kagomes small vial of blood, Adaire wouldnt be able to smell or sound like her, even to have her power. But she knew, as did Naraku, if Kagome was to die everything would be over.

"Inu-Inuyasha."

Adaire said in a sweet voice. Inuyasha stopped and looked down at her. Adaire took a sharp breath at the look in which he gave her. If she didnt know any better she would think he was looking at her, well Kagome, in love. Adaire shook her head and tried to pull herself from Inuyasha's grasp.

"Inuyasha, put me down. Im fine."

He grip tightened.

"No."

He said sternly. Adaire didnt like this. She could walk she didnt want to be carried.

"Inuyasha, put me down now!"

From the bushes came a movement and in a flash Inuyasha had Adaire on the ground and the Tetsusaiga pulled out.

"Kagome, get behind that tree."

He ordered and Adaire nodded, gripping her arrows and running behind the tree. From the bushes came three figures.

"Kagome!"

Came the light squeal of a young kitsune bounding towards her. His face triggered in her mind and she knew him.

"Shippou!"

She stepped from the tree as Shippou jumped into her hurt shoulder, she winced a bit in pain and the next second the young kitsune Shippou was being pulled from her shoulder by an angry hanyou.

"She's hurt you moron!"

He said, hitting him a few times. Adaire giggled a bit. Inuyasha stopped and stared at her, as did Shippou, Sango and Miroku. Adaire got the hint. Kagome must get mad about this. Adaire did her best to look mad.

"Inuyasha!"

A word triggered in her mind.

"Sit boy!"

Shippou jumped from Inuyasha's grasp before the hanyou went face first into the ground. Shippou jumped onto her other shoulder.

"Thank you Kagome."

Adaire smiled and patted the kit on the head. Inuyasha looked up at her angrily. Adaire waved her hand in a dismissed fashion.

"Sorry Inuyasha."

Inuyasha mumbled something the others couldnt hear, well all except Adaire, who heard with her demon hearing. She didnt get all of the words, but she got enough.

"Sit boy!"

She called again, and Inuyasha, who was just rising, went face first into the ground again. Adaire then placed a hand on her shoulder and started to walk away. Inuyasha looked up at her in disbelief.

"D-did she hear me?!"

Kagura looked at Naraku confused as his reincarnation, Kahlil, brought the screaming Kagome into the castle. Kahlil had long blue hair, and pale white skin. Dark piercing cold blue eyes and wore plain brown robes. He was big, strong. Kagura turned towards Naraku, her fan inside her sleeves and her eyes narrowed.

"Why is she here? I thought your aim was to kill her, Naraku. Or does she look to much like Kikyou to do so?"

She said the last part in amusement, trying her best not to laugh. Naraku just looked at her with his dead cold eyes, though a fire was burning within him.

"Neh, young fool. I need her alive."

He stated simply. Kahlil dropped Kagome in front of the door. Kagura turned sharply towards her, a look of pure disgust on her face. She rose a hand, as to slap her.

"Kagura, leave us be."

Naraku said in a demanding tone. No one would hurt this girl, less it be me. Kagura shot him a dirty look and went from the room.

"Be patient Kagura, I shall have something for you soon."

Naraku said before she left. He now turned his attention to Kagome, who sit scared upon the floor.

"Leave us Kahlil."

Naraku ordered and Kahlil nodded his head and obeyed, closing the door behind him. Naraku stared at Kagome. She did look remarkably like Kikyou. He could kill her, but that would destroy his plan. And he couldnt let that happen. This scheme was beyond petty grudges on a dead miko.

"W-what are you going to d-do with me?"

Kagome stuttered, backing up some. She glanced at the door as if to run. Naraku laughed, it echoing around them.

"And where do you think you could flee too. You would not make it out of this castle alive."

Kagome knew from his words that it was the truth. She was stuck and there was no way out. She held back her tears, she would not allow herself to cry, to let Naraku see her cry. She cursed him, if only she had her arrows then she could take care of him now. But she didnt. She was unarmed and there was nothing she could do. Naraku moved from his spot, advancing slowly towards her. His cold dead red eyes following her every move as she backed up to a wall. Naraku brought forward a hand, and Kagome thought it was to strike her and she closed her eyes. After a moment, when she didnt feel a thing, she opened her eyes to see Naraku's hand resting on the wall right beside her head. He leaned in, looking her straight in the eye, his face as hard as stone as emotionless as ever.

"You are no Kikyou."

He spoke at last and Kagome's eyes widened.

"Reincarnation, perhaps. But you are no Kikyou."

His voice was cold as he said this is a dull tone. Tears started to surface at Kagomes eyes and she mentally pushed them back.

Its true.I am no Kikyou, but I never said I wanted to be..

Naraku withdrew from the closeness between them, and stood tall as Kagome coward to the floor. Then he said words that struck her heart.

"And for that reason, Inuyasha could never love you."

At the village, Adaire was being treated for the wound on her shoulder. The wound she herself had made. Everyone else waited outside, Shippou with a fuss. Adaire slowly removed the uniform shirt she had on, lifting it over her injured shoulder, exposing the wound, but not all the way off. Kaeda applied some herbs, having cleaned the wound up first. Then she wrapped a bandage around it and Adaire put her shirt back down.

"Thank you Kaeda."

She said in a polite tone. Mentally she was becoming sick of all this. Having to be nice. Kagomes life must be boring. Shippou came bounding in with the others in toe, and he jumped straight to Adaire. Flashes shot through her mind. A dark cloudy night. The real Kagome upon a black cloud, looking down upon a battlefield. Two figures, fighting. The sound of lighting and steal on steal. The flashes quickly faded from her mind, leaving Adaire to wonder what they were. Shippou looked blankly at her.

"Kagome? Kagome are you alright?"

Adaire snapped from her daze and forced a smile upon her face, looking down upon the kit.

"Hai Shippou, I am fine. I believe just a bit tired."

Shippou gave her a puzzled look then smiled, jumping from her and going to sit next to Kirara.

"Kagome?"

Came a voice behind her. She turned to the door to see Inuyasha standing there.

"Hai?"

She said, her voice quivering. Had he discovered who she really was. He tossed Adaire the bag Kagome had left in the well.

"You left this."

He mumbled. Adaire sweatdropped and grabbed it.

"Thanks."

She said in a low voice, opening the bag. Shippou came bounding back to her.

"Did you bring me anything?!"

He asked excitedly. A flash of a small candy bar popped into her mind and she pulled from her bag a snickers, she handed it to the kit. Who thanked her and ate it quickly. More and more flashes passed through Adaire's mind. It seemed everything around her caused some vision to come. She placed a hand upon her head, closing her eyes. Trying to will it to go away. Inuyasha looked at her confused and walked up to her, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Kagome?"

He said in a small voice. Another flash was sent through her mind, but more this time. Along with it came feeling. A dark night, small orbs of light floating in the sky, souls. Kagome walking through the forest, no running. Then Adaire found herself looking through Kagomes eyes. Inuyasha, and the dead miko. A flash again, an embrace. A heart shattering. Adaire wanted to scream from the pain that she was feeling. Never before had she felt this. She quickly rose to her feet, removing Inuyasha's hand from her shoulder she ran from the hut.

What the hell is happening?
