Chapter 28

The stars shone brightly in the dark skies above. If one would listen carefully they would be able to hear the sound of music, laughter and whispers all leading to the Higurashi shrine on the day of the family reunion. If one would look carefully they would see two figures walking together. One was in front while the other, behind.

It was Rin and Sesshoumaru. She hadn't finished shown him around. Rin was still nervous. She liked him and she wouldn't doubt that but she hardly spoke to him and if she did she would end up saying something embarrassing.

They came at a bright part of the shrine. The stars shone more brightly there since it was facing the country area.

"And this is my favorite spot," Rin said. She walked up to the edge and let the wind blow her long hair. Sesshoumaru watched her intensely. He had never seen such a beauty. The way her eyes sparkled when she smiled and how the wind blew her hair made her look very appealing.

" Hey Rin," he said. Rin looked over at him curiously.

" Yeah?" she asked him.

" Maybe sometime we could go out to dinner and just hangout," he said.

" That sounds great!" she said excitedly. " When?"

" Maybe tomorrow at seven or something," he said.

" Yeah! I can't wait! It'll be awesome!" Rin exclaimed. Sesshoumaru chuckled and smiled at her. Rin did the same. She took a step towards him and they leaned closer and closer until...

Kagome looked back at Sango again who was close behind her. She smiled mischievously causing Sango to look at her.

" Kagome," Sango said. Kagome stopped and let Sango catch up to her. " You're up to something," Sango accused her. " Tell me now!"

Kagome gave Sango the most innocent look that she could. " I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just going to show you something."

Sango folded her arms and gave Kagome a stern look. " You are going to tell me what you are doing NOW!" Sango yelled as some birds flew away and her voice echoed.

" Okay, okay," Kagome, said. "Just wait here!" Kagome ran off as Sango stood with her arms folded.

Kagome ran in a dark corner and took out a small phone and dialed a number on it. She had to tell Rin to start the plan now. Sango was catching on fast.

" Come on answer. Please," Kagome urged as the phone kept on ringing.

Sesshoumaru Pulled Rin closer to him. Rin felt like if she was in a dreamland.

'He's a really good kisser,' she thought to herself.

She then felt something vibrating at the pocket of her jeans. When she regained all her senses she regretfully pulled away from Sesshoumaru to see who was calling.

" Kagome," she mumbled. Excusing herself she went in a corner and answered it. " What?"

" Rin the plan has to start now!" Kagome exclaimed.

" But I was having some fun," Rin wined.

" I bet you were but Sango's catching on fast. Please Rin?"

" Okay! I'll get Miroku now. I'll call you while I'm in position."

" Okay Bye," Kagome said. Rin took off her phone and went back to Sesshoumaru.

" I um have to do some stuff. Maybe I'll meet you later on?" she asked noticing that her cheeks were starting to feel very hot.

" Okay," he replied, kissed her palm and walked off. Rin then turned ten different shades of red.

'He is so hot!' Rin thought and looked at him walk away from her.

The family reunion seemed to be going well. Everyone was in deep conversation. Either meeting each other for the first time or getting reacquainted with each other for the many years in which they haven't spoken.

In their deep conversations no one seemed to notice a tall, thin figure lurking around. It was obviously a woman with a rather long, white dress and a hood over her head. Only one part of her body was showing and that was her rather pale lips and pale skin.

Her lips curved into a smile when she spotted a brown eyed, raven haired girl wearing a lovely kimono with flowers. She looked very cheerful and had the biggest smile that anyone could have ever seen. The woman gave a little chuckle.

' She's not going to be happy for long.' She thought and disappeared into the shadows.

Sango was getting very impatient. Kagome was hiding something from her sand he knew it. She hated when people kept stuff from her. Especially since Kagome and her were best friends. She folded her and frowned when she saw her friend stop suddenly and looked around.

Kagome lead Sango to an area, which was quite dark. She stopped and turned around to her friend. She gave a nervous laugh before speaking. " I'll be right back. Wait here a sec."

" Whatever," Sango relied.

Kagome ran off in a dark corner where Sango couldn't see her. She answered her phone, which had obviously been ringing for the longest while.

" Rin. Ready?" she asked.

"I got Miroku with me. Aha! Pervert!" Rin screamed and a huge crash was heard though the phone. "This the tenth time that he groped me and he's tried more than ten! Just hurry up!"

" Okay! I'll be..." Kagome stopped. Rin listened curiously to why her cousin wasn't answering.

" Kagome? Hello Kagome?" she asked. Rin then heard a small laugh.

" You plans have been canceled!" said an evil voice. Rin could hear coughing in the background. Her eyes widened.

"Kagome!" she said to herself. "You're coming with me pervert!" Rin said and dragged Miroku with her.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"I don't know but Kagome's in trouble. I can feel it!"

Sango tapped her foot on the ground. Kagome was taking way too long. Giving a huge sigh she took one step to where her friend had run off.

" Kagome?" she asked.

No response.

" Kagome? Are you there?" Sango asked. Getting worried Sango walked to where her friend went. It was dark at first but then a bright light shone over the place. Sango covered her eyes so she would not be blinded. Cracking her eyes open she searched to see what was happening.

Her eyes widened and she almost fainted at the sight before her. Kagome lay on the ground unconscious. She had a small cut on her face and there was a glowing light on her wrist. Immediately Sango knew it was a miko, but whom?

"Worried about your loser friend?" said a feminine voice. Sango didn't have to look around to see who it was. She could feel her anger growing twice as bad as it was before. She was about to run to Kagome but something was blocking her from reaching her friend.

" Kagome! Wake up Kagome!" Sango yelled. Turning around Sango glared at her opponent. Kikyou.

" Let Kagome go now!" Sango ordered.

Kikyou laughed. " Do you expect a miko like me to listen to a normal human like you? I have some stuff to do so if you would please leave."

" I'm not going anywhere!"

" Fine! I warned you," Kikyou said. Taking out a small bottle out of her long dress she opened it and began to chant. Black smoke began to come out. Sango covered her mouth with her hands but to no avail. Before long she began to cough, her vision began to get fuzzy and her knees began to get weak. Her body fell to floor and her eyes closed and she became unconscious.

Kikyou laughed at the two helpless bodies laying before her. Smirking, she began to walk towards the girl who had the heart of Inuyasha. Suddenly she felt someone push her and her body fell to the ground. Looking up angrily, she saw Miroku and some other girl standing next to him.

" Kagome! Sango!" she girl yelled and ran to the two weak figures. Miroku stepped on Kikyou's back while going to check on the girls. Kikyou growled and blocked the two from passing with a force field.

" Who are you?" Kikyou asked looking at the raven-haired girl.

"I'm Kagome's cousin Rin! What did you do to them?"

Kikyou laughed loudly and stood up. "The Same thing I'm going to do to you," she said. Miroku looked at Sango's helpless body.

" Sango," he whispered. " Please wake up."

" You fool. They'll never wake up without me allowing it!" Kikyou said and her pale lips turned into a wicked smile. Miroku charged at Kikyou ready to give her a punch in the face but he was thrown back by one of Kikyou's energy beams.

" Miroku!" Rin yelled and ran towards his side. He got up shakily and looked at the evil miko.

" Rin you... have to stop her. Please," Miroku begged her. " Go get Sesshoumaru or Inuyasha. They could stop her."

" No I'm not going to leave you here..." Rin was cut off when she felt her body being raised up in the air. She looked at Kikyou who was glowing a dark red.

"I don't know why you people insist on protecting her!" Kikyou said pointing at Kagome. Rin then felt a hard pressure on her neck.

" Don't worry I'm not going to kill you. I'll just knock you out then I'll handle Higurashi," she said. Rin glared daggers at her. It was getting harder and harder to breathe. Using all of her strength she began to kick back and forth.

"Just stay still!" Kikyou yelled and applied more pressure to the girl's neck. In pain, Rin let out a scream hoping someone would hear her.

Sesshoumaru sat at the table causally talking to Mrs. Higurashi with Inuyasha by his side. That was when he heard a sound that only a youkai could hear.

" Sorry to interrupt you Mrs. Higurashi but Inuyasha and I need to go now," he said politely.

" We do?" Inuyasha asked.

" Yes now."

" Okay bye!" Mrs. Higurashi waved at the boys as they ran off at full speed.

Kagome opened her eyes slowly. She felt as if she had been run over by a truck, five times! Everything was blurry at first but after a while everything cleared up. She looked to see that her wrist was glowing a light pink.

'Where am I?' she asked her self. She was about to get up when she felt a pain on the hand, which was glowing. She collapsed back on the ground and took in her surroundings.

Was it a dream? Sango and Miroku were on the ground motionless. She looked up and saw Rin floating in the air crying. When she looked down her memories came back to her. Kikyou did this. She hurt her friends all of them and was Finishing off Rin.

" KIKYOu!" she shouted as it echoed. Kikyou looked at Kagome, surprised. She let Rin fall to the ground. Rin gasped and fell unconscious.

" Well, well, well you're up now huh? You should have awoken sooner 'cause I've already taken care of them. Now it's time to finish you off!" she said and smiled.

A/N; Ha hahaahahaha! It's getting juicy eh? Don't worry I'll try to update by Tuesday but I'm not making any promises. Oh and some of you want to know if Kagome is a miko. Maybe she is and maybe she's not. You'll just have to read the next chapter to find out. Muhahahahahahahahaahaha!
