Chapter 13: Sisters
"Then I'll kill both of you!" Sango swung Hiraikutsu.
Kagome ducked and covered Kirara. Scrambling to get away Sango swung again and sliced the bottom of Kagome's pants. Kirara scrambled up the tree while Kagome, out of pure fright, jumped on the tree limb with Kirara and made her way up while Sango below yelled for her to come back down.
Suddenly a pack of demons came and swept her away.
There was a kugutsu of Naraku sitting away from Sango observing her.
"Would you like me to get her down?" he asked.
"No. Where would the fun be if we were to get her like that?" she asked as she looked at the scar on her wrist again. She smirked and they were off.
*--*--*
The one way mirror fell as Inuyasha toppled onto the ground. He quickly stood up and looked around. "Kagome?"
Kagome fell out of the tree and landed on her feet. Kirara landed next to her and licked her arm. Kagome then fainted then on the spot from her wound.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha caught her before she fell to the ground.
"Sango…back…why?" she muttered as tears streamed down her face.
*--*--*
"Hmm….so you're keeping the girl, darling?" Tsukia said as Sango and Naraku came into the room.
"She'll be useful." Naraku stated as the kugutsu fell to the ground and the real Naraku put an arm around Sango's shoulders. "You'll help us kill Kagome-sama, won't you?"
Sango smirked. "Yes, Naraku."
*--*--*
"Sister! What did you do to my sister?!" Kaede yelled at Inuyasha as she looked at her sister in his arms.
"I didn't do anything to her. It was an incident that happened." He said oddly quiet.
"That's fine, for now." She gestured for him to follow and led him into the medical hut.
Kaede and others started to get to work on Kagome.
*--*--*
Night time…
*whoosh*
"Howl!!"
*ohhhhh*
*ohhhhh*
"Monk! Miroku!" the woman yelled.
"Yes, Kikyo-sama?" Miroku asked as he sat outside her shoji.
"Kill those wretched things!" she ordered.
"I cannot miss." He said sadly.
"Then shoo them away, and where's my sister?! You said you'd find her!" she yelled at him.
"Kagome-sama is currently being cared for. She has somehow gotten injured, milady." He said.
"Open the door!" Kikyo ordered.
He slid it open to look at the half dead miko. He swallowed as he looked at her pale skin and flat hair. Se was wearing a white kimono and was covered in many blankets. Thick bandages covered the whole of her arm and she always had an angry look on her face. She never smiled anymore.
"Yes, Kikyo-sama?" he asked.
"Get my sister after she recovers and bring her to me. Was it Naraku who injured her?" she asked with concern for the first time since Miroku had found her.
"Not that I know of. I couldn't since him on her at all." He said.
"Go to the village and help heal her, now!" she ordered.
"Yes, miss." He bowed his head in respect and left the room quietly.
"Sister. I miss you very much." Kikyo said as she looked out the window.
(A/N: Kikyo's going to be nice in this story, okay? I like her when she's nice. No stealing Inuyasha, she has her own love and it's not Miroku.)
*--*--*
"Um…Is Kagome-sama in there?" Miroku asked the village guard in front of the medical hut.
"Yes, the miko is being mended, may I ask your business with her miko-sama?" the guard asked politely.
"I am Miroku, a monk who has come to inform Kagome-sama of a secret business that is sort of between us. May I offer my powers of Buddha?" he asked as he tapped the end of his staff to emphasize Buddha.
"You may enter." He said as he let the monk into the hut. Inside the walls were covered with guards with raised weapons. They really are secure like Kikyo-sama said, he thought. "Kagome-sama is here, is she not?" he asked.
A young girl with long black hair turned. "Who are you?" she asked defensively.
"I am a monk of Buddha." He said as he bowed. "Let me help you heal her."
"Fine." She gave in and stepped aside. "Leave the monk and I to our business." She said to the surrounding apprentices.
"Yes, Kaede-sama." They got up and left. Half of the guards that surrounded the walls left also to make the room less crowded.
There was Kagome-sama, lying on a futon in a blue and pink kimono. She didn't look the least bit of sick or injured, her skin a healthy tan with a little color on her cheeks, and she had an annoyed look on her face.
"I don't have time…looking for…'cause she's…Sango" she kept muttering angrily.
Miroku knelt next to the miko. She turned her head and glared at him. "Yet another monk who comes to try his luck. I'm fine!" she yelled as she turned her head back to looking at the ceiling.
Miroku chuckled. "You are why different from her." He said as he looked at the injured girl with a smile.
Kagome made a bored face and put one finger up. "I don't want to know who her is." She said as she turned back to her interesting staring contest with the ceiling.
"I'll heal you and I'll take you to her. She's dying to see you again." He whispered to her as he took out an ofudo and started as spell.
"Fine." She said.
*--*--*
"Where did Naraku take Sango?" Inuyasha asked himself aloud. "How could she do that?"
He landed in a clearing and looked around. There, sitting out in the open, was a shard. "Shikon no kakera?" he looked at it closely then picked it up cautiously. "Japan is so unknowing." He said as he referred to the stupidness of whomever or whatever dropped the precious shard.
He looked around again and then headed back in the direction of Kagome's village.
*--*--*
"Where is that Miroku?" Kikyo asked herself aloud.
*ohhhhh*
"Howl!!!!How-Howllll!!"
*whoosh*
*ohhhhh*
"Those retched things are keeping me from my slumber." She growled as she looked around out the window again at the surrounding marshes. The swamp animals all holed and whooshed and ohhhh-ed as she sighed quietly. "Oh Kagome. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you."
*Flashback*
"Sister! Come back here! You can't always go off and see that man." A 13 year old Kagome said as she looked around at the cave Kikyo had entered. "Who's that guy?"
"His name is Onigumo. He cannot move so…you know he isn't a threat." Kikyo said as she set down her bowl of water.
"Ew. He's not a pleasant sight, that's for sure. Why keep him living, nasty." Kagome said as she looked in disgust. "Just put him outta his misery, y'know."
"Don't talk that way about him." Kikyo scolded as she gave him some water.
*End Flashback*
"Who was that guy that almost killed me?" she asked herself as she looked down at her pale hands clenched to the blankets. "I'll get revenge, I swear it!"
*--*--*--*--*--*
I loved writing this chapter to!! It was fun writing Kikyo. I wanted to make her nice, y'know? I don't hate her. I only hate her stealing Inuyasha.
Anyway, I'll update soon like I promised for this chapter.
