Back at the Evil Lair
Naraku had been looking through his mirror of sorts to watch Kikyo progress on killing the little miko. He broke the mirror connection with a raging curse. "That damn priestess, what the fuck does she think she's doing!!!" That conniving bitch I will kill her for her insolence."
Naraku sat back down and rewove his looking mirror, deciding to search diligently for the incompetent priestess. When he saw Inuyasha's hand against Kagome's chest. *No, oh no, damn this can't be. He couldn't have, no he wouldn't have...* He watched Inuyasha take his hand away, *Yes, he did it, No!!!!!!! He might have spoiled my plan!!!!!!*
He hadn't counted on Kikyo's betrayal or Inuyasha using his blood to heal her. The smear he had concocted was for the person to be changed into a water-cat youkai, but now with dog-youkai blood in her system he had no idea what she would become.
"KIKYO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Naraku screamed in rage. He changed the pictures going through his mirror, "I will find you Kikyo!!" He shrieked as he began the tedious task of locating her.
@^*@^*@^@*^@*^@^*@^*@^*@^*@^*@^*@^*@^*@^*@
Meanwhile back the Village....
Miroku had gotten up to get himself and his beloved Sango some of the breakfast Kaede made for them. When he turned around and began walking back to where she was laying down with two bowls heaped full with barley and honey.
"Thank you Miroku", she said as she tried to take the bowl of food from Miroku's hand when he set one bowl on the floor behind him and the other in his lap with the spoon poised to be put into Sango's mouth.
"Miroku??" Sango asked ~quirking one eyebrow~
"Sango, you still need your rest. I will feed you your breakfast, there is no need to strain yourself." He smiled his normal dashing smile, which sent shivers down her spine.
"Now open up", he commanded.
"Awwwwhhhhh", she complied with his 'order', for now.
He sat there and feed her spoonful-by-spoonful until the bowl was completely empty. "Yum.. that was delicious. Thank you, Miroku."
"It was my pleasure my lady", he did a mock bow, from the waist. "Would it please my lady to lie down for awhile?" he asked still in his mockingly voice full of laughter and joy.
"Indeed it would, good sir", Sango replied now smiling broadly, as she got to play the game too.
He helped recline her back onto her bed, got her situated, then kissed her, a mere angel's kiss, just a brush of his lips upon hers. By then the food was in her system and was starting to feel groggy, she fell sleep again. As soon as she was asleep Miroku picked up the bowl that was behind him and emptied the contents in under than five minutes. He went up for another bowlful when Kaede walked in.
"How is she fairing?" She asked looking at Miroku.
He smiled, "Very well, in fact she was up and talking to me not very long ago and ate a full bowl of barley and honey, before going back to sleep." As he looked upon her his whole face seemed to smile and shine.
"Aye, tis very good new indeed, indeed. Now if the other three of ye'r group would just find there way back 'ere, we would be set. I do hope Kagome and Inuyasha are all right". Kaede said softly.
"Don't worry about them, Kaede" Miroku said, "They have Shippo with them they will be fine!" As he smirked evilly.
Kaede just laughed.
~!!!!!!!!!@#~!@#~!@#~!@#~!@#~!@#~!!!!!!!!!!~
~Kagome, Inuyasha, and Shippo~
Shippo was literally flying through the underbrush to find his way back to their camp. With Inuyasha hot on his heels he had to run twice as fast just to stay even with the hanyou. Through the underbrush they ran until they were suddenly in their clearing again. Inuyasha laid Kagome gently down on her sleeping bag as her breathing regulated and her heart rate was back to normal again. He looked her over to see if any more wounds were visible, while a very concerned kitsune was peering over his shoulder to check on his mommy.
"Is she going to be ok Inuyasha?" The little kitsune asked with tears threatening to leak their way down his furry little cheeks.
"I think she will be just fine Shippo. But, to be on the safe side can you get back to the village and tells the Old Hag exactly what happened here today." Inuyasha answered.
Shippo nodded. "You can't make anything up that didn't happen though, all right Shippo?" Inuyasha questioned. He nodded again.
"I'll turn into the pink balloon and fly there that would be the quickest way to Lady Kaede." Shippo looked up at Inuyasha to confirm that this was a good plan.
"Yes, Shippo, that's a great idea. Be very careful though Kagome would kill me if anything happened to you." Inuyasha looked at him sternly, much the same way a parent would look at a child when mischief could be sensed.
"Alright Inuyasha, keep Kagome safe until I can tell Lady Kaede and see what she says to do" Shippo looked at Inuyasha one more time and then transformed into his pink balloon state and began to glide away.
Once Shippo was safely out of sight Inuyasha sat down next to Kagome and placed her into his lap, while cradling her head while she slept.
~*~*A Little While Later~*~*
Inuyasha opened his eyed to find that sunset and sunrise had come and gone, it was now a new day. *Wow, I must have dosed off* he thought. He then looked down at Kagome only to see two little red ears, tipped in black, sitting atop her head. When he looked more closely at her he realized that she had fangs and claws too. * What the HELL!!!* he thought * This must one of the side effects or something, I hope. Otherwise Kagome's really going to SIT me for this!!!!!! I had better figure out what I'm going to tell her and fast. * Unfortunately it looked as though that time was up, because Kagome had begun to stir.
She woke up and looked Inuyasha's wide golden eyes. "What?", she asked, when she saw his reaction, "What's wrong?"
Inuyasha took a deep breath and began. "Kagome do you remember what happened yesterday?" he asked carefully.
Kagome looked thoughtful and said, "I think so something covered in dug, hit me with an arrow."
"That's right, it was Kikyo. Her arrow pierced your heart." He paused letting this information sink in. "I cut my hand and put it over your heart to let our bloods mingle. I had hoped doing this would save your life, and it did. But, there looks to be a few side affects." He couldn't stand the scrutiny of her gaze anymore, so he simply stared at the ground until she replied.
"What kind of side affects?" she asked.
"Well.a.you see.um.your kind of.a.um.."
"OH, JUST SPIT IT OUT!" Kagome cried
"YOURAHANYOUANDITHINKITISPERMANENT!" (You're a hanyou and I think it is permanent) he finally spit the words all out together.
"WHAT!!! Are you serious??!!" She asked with a hopeful smile, that Inuyasha didn't seem to notice.
"Yes, I am and I'm sorry but I just didn't want you to leave me. I know it was selfish and stupid but-" He never finished his apology. Kagome had grabbed him by the back of the neck and pulled him into her, and effectively silenced him with a heart-pounding kiss.
When she released him, she looked up into his confused eyes and smiled. "Inuyasha you saved my life, how could I ever be mad at you?" She asked Inuyasha.
He looked at her in complete surprise. "But, but...I turned you into a hanyou." He stared at her waiting for a response.
She looked deeply in his amber orbs. "Inuyasha, I'm not mad at you nor will I ever be. Turning me into a hanyou wasn't your fault." He looked at her with questions in his eyes.
"But, Kagome.ah, what do you mean?"
Kagome looked to be staring off into space thinking, considering before she answered her mate-to-be. "Remember when I had asked you if you smelt anything around us, when we were walking back to camp?" She asked him.
"Well.. yeah you said you got an evil-is-near shiver down your spine. But, what has that got to down with this?" He calmly waited for her reply.
Kagome thought about it a moment and said, "Normally, when Kikyo is in the area I just a small chill down my spine. But, this time it was an evil fridge shiver that passed through my body."
"And....What does that mean?" Inuyasha asked.
"I think Kikyo was working with Naraku, and I think she had a poison of some kind, work her. But, I don't know... Inuyasha I think we need to go back to the clearing where Kikyo shot me. I need to see that arrow." Kagome said with a determined look on her face.
"All right lets go then." Inuyasha stated.
!@*!@*!@*!@*!*@!@*!@*!@*!@*!@*!@*!@*!@*!@*!@*!
In his mountain hideout
Inside his mountain hideout in the mountains Naraku was weaving a web of light and crystals to form a kind of mirror, honed to find only Kikyo. "That BITCH!!!!!!!!!! Where is she!!!!!" Naraku screamed.
Just then he located her, *Kikyo, I know you can hear me, we're speaking telekinetically.*
*What the hell do you want, Naraku, I did my job.*
*You little Bitch, you tried to kill Kagome, after I strictly-*
*TRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What do you mean tried I did kill her.*
* No you didn't you fucking shit face little asshole!!!!! * Naraku screamed aloud, with a fierce inhuman scream. * You hit her in the heart and that stupid foolish hanyou didn't think twice about using his demonic blood to save her*
* NANI!!!!!!!!!!!!!* Kikyo mentally shrieked.
* Now I have no idea want type of demon she will become. *
*Send two of your most powerful minions after them and see what type of attributes she received from the potion and Inuyasha's blood. * Kikyo suggested.
* That's a good idea Kikyo, I will. BUT, I want to see YOU IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* And with that he ended the mental conversation.
"Banazir and Undomiel, come here!" Naraku screamed.
They came running like a pair of trained dogs. "I want you two to go and find Kagome and Inuyasha and attack them, but don't kill them unless you have too. Banazir, I want you to go after Kagome."
"Yeeeesssss, massster." Banazir nodded.
Banazir was a snake-dragon demon and was extremely powerful, just like his brother, Undomiel. Who was a cobra-dragon demon , and just as powerful as Banazir.
"Now go you two" Naraku commanded.
"Yeses massssster." They said together vanishing into thin air.
*Yes* Naraku thought, *Now I will find what that little miko-demon really is. * He started to laugh evilly.
