Chapter 5
Kikyou stood against a tree; her eyes cold and unfeeling as she watched the hanyou- her hanyou tenderly kiss the miko. She silently narrowed her eyes, pure anger racing through her veins as she watched her reincarnation lean against him, her hands tangling in his slivery hair. How dare she? Inuyasha is mine! He belongs to me! The undead miko drifted forward, still remaining out of sight, until she could hear them talking, "What about Kikyou?" came the girls soft voice.
Kikyou took that time to speak, "Yes Inuyasha- what about Kikyou?" she asked watching as the hanyou stiffened and Kagome swung her head around. Inuyasha's lips moved in a near silent curse and he gently pushed Kagome away to stand and face Kikyou. The undead priestess fingered her short bow, and watched him with empty eyes.
"Kikyou…" His lips moved slowly and only a whisper came out.
"Inuyasha… I thought you had a promise to uphold. What happened to protecting me? What happened to your promise?" Kikyou stepped closer with every word. "Are you going to let some little girl, my reincarnation, separate us? Does your word mean so little?"
Inuyasha let out a soft sigh, and tipped her head up, not looking at Kagome. "Kikyou… I had a promise to uphold, and certain things happened to make me break it. I would never intentionally break my word to you! Naraku-"
"Don't you dare!" she hissed suddenly, her eyes livid with rage. "It is not my fault that your word is so easily broken! It is because of this wretched little girl, this pathetic excuse for a miko priestess! Why do you drop everything, and forget what we had so easily once she comes in?" Her sharp gaze softened as she leaned forward. "I miss you Inuyasha... When you make your decision, to uphold your word with me or her," the word was spat out like poison. "Then I will be waiting. I know you will make the right choice." She kissed him lightly on the lips, and then shot Kagome a glare. Without a single word more, she strode off, her form eventually melting in to the line of trees.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha, and then looked down. "Inuyasha… I-I have to go." She choked out before sprinting off. Inuyasha lifted a hand out as if trying to stop her, but then let it fall limp to his side. He could feel his heart being torn in two, torn between the two miko's who had his affection.
"Shit."

Kagome ran back to the village, her dark brown eyes filled with tears, and her breathing harsh and ragged. Sango was looking over her boomerang (Name anyone??) when she saw Kagome. Her eyes widened and she stood up quickly, "Oh no… Kagome. What happened?" she said quickly, tipping the younger girls head up.
Kagome shook her head tears spilling down her cheek. "Inuyasha, and I were out, and… well…" she stopped, not being able to go further. Sango nodded her head, showing her understanding.
"Kikyou?" she said, disapproval clear in her voice. Kagome nodded silently, this was not the first time that Kikyou had shown up.
"I am going to talk to Sesshoumaru-um… Leiko, and do- something." Kagome sighed, and hugged her friend briefly, before walking in to the village.
A few minutes later Sango caught sight of a very sad looking hanyou. His head was hung low, his shoulders slumped, even his normally perky ears were drooping. All together made a very pathetic looking hanyou. Her brown eyes met his golden ones and she turned away, walking briskly in the other direction.
Inuyasha sighed and sat down, holding his head in his hands. "Sonvabitch." He whispered, closing his eyes. 'Now everyone hates me, and damn it, I deserve it. Kagome…'
* * *
Sesshoumaru watched as his brother's wench wandered around aimlessly, her arms crossed, and her face dark and moody. Finally she got tired of seeing Kagome wander and called out. "What are you doing?"
Kagome walked over, and flopped down beside the silver haired woman. "Your brother's stupid." She grumbled. Sesshoumaru resisted a smile. "Stupid, stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid…" and she kept saying it over and over again.
Sesshoumaru rolled her eyes, "Yes, I knew of this. What did he happen to do this time to make you this way?"
Kagome stared at her for a moment, and then launched herself at the confused Sesshoumaru, sobbing in to her shoulder. Sesshoumaru froze for a moment, and then slowly patted her back, in what she hoped was slightly comforting. Sesshoumaru caught words in between the sobs, which she tried to make sense of. "And then he…*sob* k-k-kissed m-m-meeee! B-b-but *hiccup* then that bitch K-k-Kikyou…*sob* shoooowweed u-up." Some more sobbing and then more mumbling.
Sesshoumaru just kept patting her back, silently chanting, 'Why me? Why me? I am getting soft. And when did I ever let a human get this close? Am I going insane?' more thoughts rushed through her head as Kagome kept talking, sobbing, and generally making soft hiccupping noises.
After a moment Sesshoumaru was aware that Kagome was trying to get his attention. "Are you listening to me?" An angry Kagome demanded. Sesshoumaru turned wide eyes to her, in what she hoped was an innocent gesture.
"Um. You said how… um uncaring… and mean…Inuyasha is." Sesshoumaru said, hoping it was the right answer.
"Okay… *sniffle*" Kagome said, accepting that Sesshoumaru was listening. Sesshoumaru sighed with relief, and then looked up once a shadow fell over them. Sango stood over them, a teasing smile on her face.
"Well, Mighty-Oh-So-Great- Lord Sesshoumaru. I think I can handle Kagome from here." Sango pried the crying girl away from the obviously grateful silver haired girl.
Sesshoumaru walked off, thinking how weird human women are, forgetting that she was currently one.
* * *
Naraku watched as the silver haired woman wandered the woods. Seeing that this was the perfect chance, he leaped down in front of her.
"GAH!" yelped Sesshoumaru. Naraku resisted the urge to laugh at the surprise of the woman, and settled for a large, arrogant smirk.
"Naraku- what are you doing here?" the girl demanded. The hanyou looked mildly surprised that the girl knew his name, but blew it off.
"I am here my lovely lady, because you intrigue me. Tell me why a human, a human girl, like yourself travels with such…" Naraku pursed his lips and crossed his arms. "Distasteful… companions. Why do you travel with them?"
Sesshoumaru stood, her jaw dropped as she listened to the evil hanyou talk. Why was he not trying to kill her? "I wish to travel with them. And my traveling companions are of no concern of yours." She snapped, her arms crossing in irritation.
"Ohh. You're a fiery one aren't you? For a human, you are quite lovely." Naraku purred as he strolled closer. Sesshoumaru forgot that she was not supposed to tell who she really was, and snapped out.
"You hanyou! You dare to call me a human? I am the Lord of the Western lands!" She watched as the smirk on the dark haired, half demons face widened, and he nodded solemnly.
"Of course you are, pet." He chuckled.
"I am." Whined Sesshoumaru, stomping her foot irritably. "Do not dare to mock me!" The girl strode forward, and glared with all that she was worth up to the tall hanyou, forgetting that a 5'5 petite girl was no match for him.
"As you wish to believe my lady. Do not fear. We will meet again oh ravishing one." He gave a small smile, stole kiss form the surprised girl and then jumped off.
Sesshoumaru stared for a moment, eyes wide in surprise.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!" A voice exclaimed. Sesshoumaru turned to see Inuyasha, eyes wide and a large smile on his lips. "Holy fuck! He likes you! Naraku likes you!!!!!" he howled with laugher. "This… keeps…g-g-getting better…. And better!! I love it!" he burst in to new peals of laughter again. Fluttering his eyelashes, he clasped his hands against his heart and made annoying kissing noises. "OH! Naraku! You handsome, sexy beast! Ravish me!!" And Inuyasha began to laugh again.
"Shut up." Sesshoumaru said.
"Yes oh ravishing one! As you wish my great and powerful lady." Snickered Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru gave a scream of anger and dived at him, tackling him to the ground.
Well that is the end of chapter 5. Just a question, do you all think I should do review responses, and take longer, or do you want the chapters faster, without review responses? Write me back saying.
Thank you all so much for the wonderful reviews, I love you all.
SessRin- How about this? I can get Sesshoumaru-sama on weekends, and you have him on weekdays? : D that way I can have him when I don't have school. Lol. Keep reviewing!
Crimson Demon- Heh, Vicki, next time, when you leave a review, make sure that I am not signed in my name, so it don't look like I reviewed my own story, makes me look bad… lol.
