Chapter 4 'The Unseen'
Disclaimer: Inu Yasha is the property of Rumiko Takahashi & not I, no duh!
Notes: * ( :`}
' ' = thoughts mostly.
I have gotten some pretty nasty comments since I started this fic...
well, I can't say I don't entirely CARE. But to make it clear I'm not
forcing people to read, besides, this is supposed to be something I can enjoy, and people who like the story. Oh, and when I started I was going
for a script! If there are people who just want to tell me I suck and a
load of crap after that...then whatever to them!

"What have you done with Kagome?" Blasted Inu Yasha's voice. "Where is she?!!"
"Nothing, she just got knocked out, now...stop struggling Inu Yasha," purred Kikyou as she touched the side of his face.
"Kikyou, what's the meaning of this?" Questioned Inu Yasha looking at her with sharp eyes.
She replied with an emotionless tone, "I brought you here to give you 3 choices."
'Whatever the choices are they can't be good' thought Kagome who finally awoke, only to find herself paralyzed.
"Choice number one is you watch as I kill Kagome and take her place, since I was priestess first," she said scornfully and continued, "Then there's choice number two...you agree to give me the Shikon no Tama and we'll never cross paths again."
`Long pause later: "Never...I'll never choose!" Shouted a tired Inu Yasha.
"Oh, but you will, which brings me to your final choice...forget about Kagome forever, she lives, and we'll live the life that we never could those years ago."
Inu Yasha was silent for a moment and then he asked quietly, "Oh...and what would you get out of it?"
"Why do you think I staged all of this Inu Yasha?!" Roared Kikyou.
"I don't know...you're not the woman I fell for long ago...you're just some body with Kikyou's misunderstood stage of mind." Mumbled Inu Yasha, with his head turned in disgust.
"You haven't picked a choice Inu Yasha, and I'll tell you why..." she began to talk again after staring at the mute Kagome who was shouting. Of course no one paid any attention, since Inu Yasha was unaware of her presence.
"You should be happy to have any choice at all, because..." she paused as a tear slid down her cheek. "Because...I care about you and Naraku promised me that he'd spare you, if I helped him capture Sesshomaru..." she finished and seemed a little sad.
'Oh great now he's in for it, she's got him wrapped around her fingers' worried Kagome.
"What! Why would Naraku do that?" Asked Inu Yasha suspiciously. "You can't trust him; he'll double-cross you! He's...caused...pain...for us both," he said the words brokenly and finished looking gloomy.
"I know that...but you'll just have to trust me, so...do we have a deal?" She looked at him with wide eyes.
"What deal? I won't agree to anything until I see Kagome safe from that creep... and away from here," he muttered.
"You drive a hard bargain Inu Yasha, but fine...and you promise to never see her again after this?" She added with a doubtful expression.
"Fine... as long as she's safe," he answered with an expression that read *Angst*.
'How could he agree to never see me again?' For a moment she was in grief, because this would be the last glance at that wondrous and annoying half- demon she'd grown fond of.
"Oh...Kikyou, you're clever. I almost fell for your trap, but Inu Yasha and I will meet again. Maybe then you'll understand you're just a pawn of Naraku's."
Kikyou stared at the vessel with slightly enraged eyes.
"Now...where's Kagome?!" Inu Yasha asked while wiping some more blood off his lip. (He's still injured from that battle with Sesshomaru)
With a wave of her hand appeared Kagome unscathed and conscious glaring at Inu Yasha, "She was here the whole time?" He asked almost fuming.
"Heh yeah, I guess I forgot to mention that, huh? Well, if I had you might not have agreed," she added quickly.
Then she gestured her hand and Kagome was bind by Kikyou's powers and carried away.
"Don't worry, I'm just making sure she returns to her time and you never meet again!" She told Inu Yasha as she read his worried look.
"There's still one thing I don't understand, Kikyou"
"Oh yeah? What is it?"
"Why do you have to help Naraku? He does not control you, so what is the real deal that you have with him?" His fist slammed into a tree, "Why the hell are you doing this shit?!!"
"I don't have to explain myself to you, so just shut up and enjoy the ride?" She smirked.
"My! Aren't you two lovebirds getting along well," teased Naraku.
"What?" Said Kikyou a little taken aback. "How long have you been there?"
"Not too long...enough with the chit chat, did you fill him in on the plans?"
