Okay, on with part four at last. Thanks go out to Raven Demon for the
ideas. Oh one more thing. If you want to know if I've updated, check the
review history section cause so many stories come through at once and mine
sometimes don't come up. Hope your not mad at me for suggesting this.
Enjoy.
He had made it at last. Koga stood outside of the fortress that now stood before him in the dim moonlight. The scent of his enemy was stronger then ever now. Miasma drifted to and fro about the walls. Yep, this was the place his woman had been taken. Koga bared his teeth. "Naraku, you have taken my woman and you will pay." he hissed to nobody in particular. Koga charged towards the double doors which served as the entrance to the fortress. Just as he was within three feet of the entrance, he reared his leg back and brought it flying forward in a flying kick which splintered it. The wolf prince sprinted inside and looked around. Nothing but vases, windows and other tapestries. Then he caught whiff of a familiar scent. The scent of his beloved Kagome! Sadly, it was mingled with other smells. One was of that stupid hanyou that she hung out with. Koga sighed. Why did he of all people have to be here. The other scents were of the other people she traveled with. But that was of no importance right now. What mattered now was getting his woman back. Koga grinned. "Hold on my dear. I'm coming for you!" He began to run off when he felt a small tug on his leg. Koga looked down to see a small girl looking up at him with curious eyes, sucking her thumb.
"Hi wolfman! Do you want to play?" she asked. Who was this girl? Surely Naraku did not have any kids. Then the girl's scent caught his nose and his face hardened. It was Kagura! Still, one thing confused him. Was this really the same wind sorceress who had slaughtered his clan? And if so, how had she been turned into a small child? Koga did not know anything of that, but he did know one thing. With her as a child, it would be easy to kill her. Koga grinned wickedly and raised his fist to strike her. Kagura jumped to one side as the wolf's fist came crashing down into the ground. Wasting no time, Koga darted at the girl with his speed, only to miss with his next punch. Kagura smiled the way that only a child could smile and swung her fan through the air. Tiny wind blades flew out of it and flew at her adversary. Sinc she was a small child and far less stronger then she was as an adult, the blades just cut Koga's legs badly. Koga yowled and fell to the ground. The girl giggled at him. Koga snarled. He tried to lunge at his nemesis, but his legs were in a lot of pain, making it difficult to move. As he struggled to move his aching legs, a figura appeared at the top of the stairs.
"Koga? Is that you?" Kagome called. She came down the stairs to investigate. Koga smiled warmly at the sight of the one he loved so much. It was always good to be around her, even if she hung out with that stupid dog. Koga turned towards the one he loved so much.
"Hey Kagome."
"Hi Koga. What are you doing here?"
"I got your scent a mile back, so I came to rescue you."
Kagome's eyebrows went up a little. "What do you mean rescue? I'm only here for a week!"
Koga was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"It's a long story, but I'll try to explain. Kagura was trying to make a potion to give her an artificial heart and she accidently turned herself into a small child. Naraku took me and Inuyasha and the rest of our friends here to help us watch her for a week. After a week, she goes back to being an adult and we can leave. Now that you're here, maybe you would like to help?" Kagome asked. Koga could not believe the words that were being spoken to him. His beloved watching playing nanny to his enemy? Either she had been hypnotized or she had gone crazy. He put his hand on her forehead.
"Are you okay my dear? Perhaps you should rest for a bit more." he said.
"I'm fine Koga, really! I am really doing this with my friends because he promised us a shard of the shikon jewel!" Kagome replied.
"No way!" Koga hissed. "I won't do it Kagome! Not even for you! She slaughtered my tribe and I cannot forgive her! If you think I'm going to play nursemaid to Kagura, your nuts!" Kagome sighed. She had been expecting that answer.
"Please Koga? It's only a week!" she said. Koga snorted.
"Forget it!"
"I'll be your woman!" Kagome fibbed.
"Not unless you ditch the wind bitch! One more time Kagome, the answer is NO!!" Koga snarled. The wolf youkai got up to leave. Kagome sighed again. There was only one way to appeal to the stubborn wolf and it seemed she would have to use that one technique that nobody could resist. She had never done this before, even when she was little, but it might work. While he looked away, Kagome pinched herself really hard in some areas which are better left unmentioned, causing her eyes to water. She grinned. "Time to act" she thought to herself.
Koga had taken no more then three steps towards the entryway when a sniffle interrupted him. He whirled around to see his woman looking at him with watery eyes. Koga gasped. He hadn't hurt her with his words, had he? If so, he was going to beat his head against the wall for the remainder of the day. "Kagome- I- I didn't mean it like that. It's just-"
"Good, I've got him." Kagome whispered in her mind. "Just go then." she sniffled. "If you're that concerned about yourself, then just go. I don't need you anyway." Kagome buried her face in her hands and began to cry. She was faking it of course, but she was doing a really good job of it. Koga was on his knees in an instant.
"No, don't do that! Please! If it means that much to you, I'll help you." Koga said in a much softer tone.
"Really?" Kagome sobbed, still faking him out.
"Yes, I mean it." Koga said.
"Thanks!" Kagome said with a smile. As Koga turned away, she grinned. "Good thing I took drama club in my school!" she chuckled.
"Did you say something?" Koga asked.
"I asked where you wanted to sleep." she said quickly.
"I'll just sleep down here. I won't need a bed." Kagome nodded and walked back upstairs to her room. Koga looked at the girl in the kimono who was now asleep on the floor, drooling a little in her sleep. He bit his tongue to suppress laughter. Even if he did hate her, she was kind of cute as a little kid. He would never tell anybody that of course. Koga lay down on the ground to take a nap when Kagome came back down the stairs with a strange box in her hands. It was white and had a red cross on it. She went to him and lifted up his slashed leg.
"What are you doing?" Koga asked.
"Tending to your wounds silly. I have to help you with the slashes or you'll get an infection." she said. Kagome opened the box and saw her take out a small container of clear liquid. She unscrewed the cap and Koga caught scent of it. The moment the smell reached his nose, he began to shiver with fright. It was the smell of the horrible medicine he had been burned with when he was a child.
"No, not that. Please not that!" Koga whimpered.
"Calm down Koga. It's only mercurochrome." Kagome giggled and applied the liquid to Koga's wounds. Koga's ear piercing shrieks amazingly woke nobody else up.
Bright and early the next morning, Inuyasha awoke. He yawned and stretched. It had been a long night last night with Kagura and the game of hide and seek and he was still quite tired from it. Just as he got up, his nose tingled with a new scent. Inuyasha sniffed the air and groaned. Koga was here. No doubt he had come to "rescue" Kagome and once again try to make her his woman. With a grunt, he walked downstairs to find his rival sleeping on the floor. Koga opened one of his eyes and glared at the approaching figure.
"What are you doing here you wimpy wolf?" Inuyasha growled.
"I was going to ask you the same question mutt face." Koga muttered.
How long have you been here?"
"Since last night. I thought my darling was in trouble so I came to rescue her. When I got here, she roped me into helping her take care of Kagura. I take it your doing the same?" Inuyasha nodded. "Oh and have you tried that ramen stuff yet? She gave me a bit and I must say it's good." Inuyasha felt his dog ears flatten against his skull at that. That was going too far. Kagome could rope him into watching his enemy, she could make him play hide and seek with Kagura, she could even let Koga stay with them, but he drew the line at giving the wolf ramen! Inuyasha stomped into the kitchen to see his other allies had awakened. Just what he needed to deal with in addition to Kagura: a perverted monk, a demon hunter, and a bratty fox kit.
"Hi Inuyasha." Miroku said. "Did you just wake up?"
"Where is Kagome?" Inuyasha growled. "I need to talk with her."
"I'm right here baka. What do you need?" Inuyasha turned towards the girl, his body shaking in frenzied wrath.
"What the hell is the deal giving Koga ramen?!!" he bellowed.
"What's wrong with it? He was hungry and I was cooking so I gave him some." Inuyasha had to use all his willpower to restrain the amount of curses which wanted to come flying out of his mouth at that. Then his common sense kicked in and he calmed down. It was just ramen after all. He looked into a nearby cauldron and saw there was still some left. He poured it into a bowl and ate it up in a flash. Then he turned to Kagome again.
"Everybody is so calm. Why aren't Sango and Miroku attacking Naraku?" he asked.
"Don't you remember what Naraku said Inuyasha? He hypnotized them in their sleep so they wouldn't know who he was for a week. When they woke up, he told them he was a demon lord who owned part of this land and that he needed some help watching over his niece. Since they don't know who he is, they agreed to help us." she explained. Just then, Kagura walked into the room.
"Can we play a game Papa?" she asked Naraku.
"What game do you want to play?" he asked.
"I don't know. What do you want to play?"
"I have no preferences. So what do you want to do?" Naraku growled.
"What do you want to do?"
"No, what do you want to do?" This continued for some time. Kagome thought and thought as hard as she could of a game to play. Then at last, an idea came to her.
"I know what we can play!" she said. "We can play a game called hide the wolf." she said. Koga's ears perked up at that.
"Hide the wolf? How do we play that?" she asked.
"It's quite simple. We'll hide Koga somewhere secret and you get to try and find him. If you find him, I'll give you some chocolate." Kagome was interrupted as a small fuzzball by the name of Shippo jumped on her chest.
"You won't give all of it to her, will you? You said it was for me!" Shippo whined. Kagome smiled sweetly and patted his head gently.
"Relax Shippo. I'll save some for you." she said. Shippo smiled and sat back down. Kagura licked her lips. She did not know what chocolate was, but it sounded good.
"Where should I hide Kagome?" Koga asked. Kagome whispered something in his ear and he went speeding out the door. What was unusual though was that this time he left footprints every once in awhile in the ground. Realizing she had to follow the trail, Kagura followed.
Farther off at the sacred well, Koga reached his destination. Kagome had told him to hide in the well she used to come to this time period and he was not about to question her commands. He jumped into the well and grabbed onto a loose branch in the middle of the well to suspend himself in mid air. All he had to do was wait for the wind bitch and then the game would end. She would come. He knew she would. As he thought these things to himself, the branch snapped. Koga went tumbling down the well and landed at the bottom. However he possessed shards of the sacred shikon jewel, so he was catapulted into the twenty first century.
"Where am I?" he wondered, looking around. All around him were tall buildings and the dirt road now appeared to be made of stone or something else. He looked to his left and saw a young boy looking at him. Koga tensed, but then caught some of Kagome's scent on him and relax. He must be a relation or a friend. Before he could ask what his name was, the boy spoke.
"Hey mom! Another demon came through the well!" A woman stepped out of a house and looked at Koga.
"This must be her mother." he thought. The woman opened her mouth and spoke.
"Who are you?" she asked.
My name is Koga. Are you Kagome's mother by any chance?" he asked. Mrs. Higurashi's eyebrow went up a little.
"How do you know my daughter?"
"She's my woman. Of course I know her!" he exclaimed.
"I always thought she was with Inuyasha." she said. Just then, an older man came barreling down the walkway with spell scrolls in his hands. Before Koga could ask who he was, the man stuck a scroll on his face.
"You're that wolf demon Kagome told me about aren't you? What have you done to my granddaughter?" he asked. At first, the wolf prince just stood there frozen with the scroll stuck on his face. "Yes! My seals have finally worked." he thought triumphantly. His hopes were dashed as Koga tore the seal off of his face with a snarl.
"What the hell was that for?!" he demanded. The man's response was to throw another seal at him. Koga tore it to shreds and lunged at the man with a roar of anger.
"You never give up, do you dad?" Mrs. Higurashi sighed to herself as Koga tore after her father.
Back in feudal Japan, Kagura was having some problems of her own. Koga's occasional footprint had led her into a small village and she was having trouble finding him here. "Where are you wolf man?" she asked to nobody in particular.
"Little girl, are you looking for something?" asked a villager. Kagura turned to see a young woman looking down at her.
"Yes but you can't help me with it!" she exclaimed and swept her fan creating a gust of wind sending the woman flying into a fruit stand. The villagers saw this and immediately took the alarm.
"That girl is a demon! Get her!" somebody cried and the entire populace was coming at her, weapons bared. Kagura spun around and swung her fan.
"Dance of the dragon!" she called and sent a group of small tornadoes not much bigger then dust devils. flying forward. The wind wasn't strong enough to hurt the villagers, but it had more then enough strength to scatter them like bowling pins. Then they spread out and shredded a bunch of houses. Kagura giggled. Maybe Koga was hiding in one of the houses! She did the dragon dance again and sent more tornadoes flying out to mow down the houses. All the while villagers were screaming and running around like headless chickens while the chaos rained. After awhile, Kagura stopped.
"Nuts! He wasn't here!" she pouted. Then she noticed another footprint farther ahead. She grinned and walked off, leaving a group of frightened villagers behind her.
Koga jumped out of the well and back into his own time, grumbling bitterly. Even if that man was related to Kagome, who was he to stick spell scrolls on him like he was some common demon that could be defeated by simple means? The only reason he had let the man off was that he knew that if he killed him, Kagome would not be pleased. As he came out of the well, he was grabbed roughly by a little girl.
"Found you!" she said with a grin. Koga scowled and scooped her up onto his back. He crouched for a moment, and then in a blast of wolf wind he was gone.
Back at Naraku's fortress, Kagome was playing with Shippo, Inuyasha was sulking, and Miroku was getting whaled on by Sango for groping her again.
"Sango-san I promise you I didn't see you there!" Miroku whined as Sango pounded him.
"Liar! That's what you say every time!" Sango hissed. She delivered ten more punches to the monk's head and sat back down. "Any idea when they'll be back?"
"Who knows? We've been waiting for awhile now, but they should be back soon." Kagome said. As if on cue, Koga sprinted into the room with Kagura on his back.
"I'm back!" he said, setting Kagura down. She went over to Kagome.
"Where's my chocolate?" she asked. Kagome smiled and dug around in her backpack. When her hand came out, a good sized chocolate bar was in it. She unwrapped it and gave it to her.
"Don't eat all of it or you'll regret it!" Kagome warned. Kagura nodded and bit into the brown sweet. She chewed, swallowed, and then grinned.
"More!" she said and gobbled half of the bar with one bite. Kagome gasped in horror, knowing what would happen if she ate more. She snatched at the chocolate, but it was too late. Kagura opened her mouth and consumed the entire bar. She froze for a moment, and then her eyes began to twitch madly. She smiled so widely that Kagome was surprised that her lips didn't crack. Then she voiced a gibbering scream which perhaps not even a demon could muster. The sound of it caused Inuyasha and Koga to wince and Naraku to widen his eyes. Then she sprinted forward and swung her fan in a wild fashion, sending blades flying every which way. Everybody ducked as glass and shredded tapestries flew everywhere around them as they were torn to shreds. Kagura chuckled madly and ran off down the hall screaming "I am a tornado!" over and over again. When the chaos stopped, Naraku sank to his knees.
"Shit! My home is wrecked again!" he moaned. Then he stood up and clenched his fists in anger. "When I get my hands on her I'll make her feel the torments of the damned!" Then there was a loud explosion from the dungeon. Everybody raced downstairs to see what had happened. In the basement, Kagura was standing over a bubbling cauldron with a mountain of ingredients at her side. She was looking at an open spell book and was laughing insanely.
"What should I do first?" she said aloud.
"Stop that right now or you'll regret it!" Naraku snarled, raising his fist for emphasis. Kagura ignored him and threw a bunch of ingredients into the cauldron. The liquid in it turned purple and bubbled. She gathered some in a beaker and threw it at Naraku. It struck him dead center and mist enshrouded him. When the smoke cleared, Inuyasha found themselves looking at large German Shepard.
"Papa is a doggy now!" she squealed. Naraku bared his now fanged teeth and growled. Then he turned to Inuyasha and sniffed his pant leg. He bristled and growled. Inuyasha growled back.
"Back off you stupid mutt! If you bite me I'll-" He didn't finish as Naraku sank his fangs into his leg with amazing force. Inuyasha screamed and fell back, hammering the dog with his fists as he attempted to pry Naraku off of him but to no avail. Naraku let go and bit Inuyasha on the arm which made him scream again. Everybody else was laughing there heads off at the spectacle before them. As they laughed, Kagura threw more ingredients into the pot and the liquid turned blue. She gathered some up and threw it at Sango. She tried to get out of the way but ended up getting drenched by the liquid. However this was not an animal potion, so it had a different effect. She grinned and turned to Miroku. He smiled back.
"Do you need something Sango?" he asked.
"Yes, I do." she said in a husky voice which made Miroku think of things best left unmentioned. She whispered something in his ear and Miroku grinned.
"Really?" he said. She nodded. Then she descended on the monk and kissed him wildly. Miroku was grinning like a kid that had a secret but refused to tell anybody what it was. Kagome, Shippo and Koga were shocked. Sango never acted this way.
"What's with you? Every time Miroku tries to do this you-" Shippo began but was cut off as the demon slayer whacked him on the head for disturbing her.
As the kitsune began to wail Sango hissed "Quiet! Your disturbing the creative process!" and went back to making out with the monk. Then there was a splash as Koga was hit with some green liquid. He fell to ground and began to convulse as smoke covered his quivering body. Kagome watched in shock as the smoke cleared to reveal that Koga had been turned into a clone of Kagura!
"Um, Koga?" she asked.
"What Kagome?" Koga replied. Kagome took out a mirror and held it up in front of his face. Koga screamed like an 1850's schoolgirl. He fell to ground and joined Shippo in his crying.
"No! No! This can't be!" Koga sobbed. He threw back his head and let out a rather wolf like howl.
As Inuyasha continued to grapple with Naraku the German Shepard he screamed out "You really are a wimpy wolf, you know that?!" and returned to wrestling the dog off of his arm. Kagome was the only one left. She marched up to the girl and seized her by her arm.
"What is the meaning of this?! Turn them back right now or you'll be punished!" she snarled. But to Kagura's sugar racked mind, the words meant nothing. She bit Kagome on the arm and ran off, throwing wind blades every which way. Kagome knew there was only one way to undo the curses the little wind geisha had put on her friends. She took out an arrow and fired it into the center of the room, causing the holy energy to spread over them all. In a flash of light everything was back to normal. Naraku was a demon again, Koga was back in his normal form, and Sango had stopped making out with Miroku.
"What am I doing on you?!" Sango yelled.
"Oh drat, it was only temporary!" Miroku mentally whined as Sango smashed him in the face with her boomerang with her traditional scream of "HENTAI!!"
Koga dashed to Kagome and embraced her in a tight hug, still sobbing but with happiness now. "Thank you my love!" he said in a voice which was dangerously close to wail. "You cured me of that horrible curse! You really do love me!" He was cut off as Inuyasha bonked him on the head. Before Koga could kick at him, a group of tornados came flying in and sent everybody flying like pinballs. Everybody screamed as the wind threw them all over the room. After some time, they fell back to floor, moaning in pain. From the doorway, Kagura giggled and ran off.
When everybody had recovered, they gathered in a circle and discussed what should be done. Kagura had finally gone too far and she needed to be disciplined.
"I think we should just give her a beating!" Naraku suggested. "Next time she'll think twice about doing something like this."
"Calm down Naraku. I agree with you she should be punished, but she was on a sugar high when it happened and we need to punish her properly." Kagome said.
"What do you mean?" Shippo asked.
"Come closer and I'll tell you." she answered. Everybody leaned forward and Kagome leaned forward and whispered something to them. Miroku's eyes widened.
"Are you sure that will work?" he asked. Kagome assured him that it was a sure fire way to get through to her.
"Here's what we're going to do." she began.
Back with Kagura, she was running around the fortress, destroying whatever she could with her wind. Because of all the sugar she had ingested, her mind saw the objects around her as living monsters instead of inanimate objects. Then her eyes caught sight of something that she did not see as a monster. On the ground was a jellybean! She smiled. "More sweets!" she giggled and went after it. Just as she reached it, it moved away from her. Kagura frowned. Jellybeans didn't move! She went after it again but it jumped away again. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a string attached to it. She growled and lunged at it, only to miss. Kagura realized it would not stay still and gave chase. She was fast, but it always stayed ahead of her. She eventually wound up in a dark room and caught the jellybean. "Yay! I got it!" she squealed. Then the door slammed and the lights came on.
The sight before Kagura was truly frightening. The entire group of her babysitters were sitting in front of her in old wooden chairs. They had demonical grins on their faces and each of them held large wooden paddles in their hands.
"Kagura, did you find it amusing when you cast those spells on us?" Kagome said in a rather menacing tone of voice.
"Um-" Kagura began, knowing what was about to happen.
"You did, didn't you?" Shippo said.
"Well we can fix that. I'll go first!" Naraku growled. Before Kagura could move he grabbed her by the wrist and sat down in his chair, placing Kagura over his lap. She squirmed and struggled to free herself, but it was futile. "This is for all the pranks you played on us!" he snarled and brought the paddle crashing down on Kagura's behind. She let out a screech and struggled harder. Naraku grabbed her with his free hand to restrain her and slammed down the paddle again. Kagura howled. He continued this rhythm ten times and then gave her to Koga.
"This is for turning me into you!" *WHACK WHACK WHACK!!* Kagura was wailing as Koga delivered ten more swats to her already aching buttocks. He handed her to Kagome.
"This is for biting me!" she hissed and added ten more spankings to the mix. They continued this pattern of spanking her and giving her to another person. Kagome gave her to Shippo, he to Miroku, him to Sango, and then back again. After repeating this twice, they stopped. Kagura's rear was so red that it was shining through her kimono.
"WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! You didn't have to hit me!" she wailed. Naraku grabbed her and looked her in the eyes.
"Don't EVER do that again." he said. "Have you learned your lesson?" Through a red haze of pain and sobs, Kagura nodded. "Good." Naraku said with a cruel smirk.
That night, Kagura would be sleeping on her stomach.
That's part four! Sorry for the late update, but writers block and homework made my life a living hell. Hope you like it. And thanks again Raven Demon. You really got me going. -Randall Flagg2
He had made it at last. Koga stood outside of the fortress that now stood before him in the dim moonlight. The scent of his enemy was stronger then ever now. Miasma drifted to and fro about the walls. Yep, this was the place his woman had been taken. Koga bared his teeth. "Naraku, you have taken my woman and you will pay." he hissed to nobody in particular. Koga charged towards the double doors which served as the entrance to the fortress. Just as he was within three feet of the entrance, he reared his leg back and brought it flying forward in a flying kick which splintered it. The wolf prince sprinted inside and looked around. Nothing but vases, windows and other tapestries. Then he caught whiff of a familiar scent. The scent of his beloved Kagome! Sadly, it was mingled with other smells. One was of that stupid hanyou that she hung out with. Koga sighed. Why did he of all people have to be here. The other scents were of the other people she traveled with. But that was of no importance right now. What mattered now was getting his woman back. Koga grinned. "Hold on my dear. I'm coming for you!" He began to run off when he felt a small tug on his leg. Koga looked down to see a small girl looking up at him with curious eyes, sucking her thumb.
"Hi wolfman! Do you want to play?" she asked. Who was this girl? Surely Naraku did not have any kids. Then the girl's scent caught his nose and his face hardened. It was Kagura! Still, one thing confused him. Was this really the same wind sorceress who had slaughtered his clan? And if so, how had she been turned into a small child? Koga did not know anything of that, but he did know one thing. With her as a child, it would be easy to kill her. Koga grinned wickedly and raised his fist to strike her. Kagura jumped to one side as the wolf's fist came crashing down into the ground. Wasting no time, Koga darted at the girl with his speed, only to miss with his next punch. Kagura smiled the way that only a child could smile and swung her fan through the air. Tiny wind blades flew out of it and flew at her adversary. Sinc she was a small child and far less stronger then she was as an adult, the blades just cut Koga's legs badly. Koga yowled and fell to the ground. The girl giggled at him. Koga snarled. He tried to lunge at his nemesis, but his legs were in a lot of pain, making it difficult to move. As he struggled to move his aching legs, a figura appeared at the top of the stairs.
"Koga? Is that you?" Kagome called. She came down the stairs to investigate. Koga smiled warmly at the sight of the one he loved so much. It was always good to be around her, even if she hung out with that stupid dog. Koga turned towards the one he loved so much.
"Hey Kagome."
"Hi Koga. What are you doing here?"
"I got your scent a mile back, so I came to rescue you."
Kagome's eyebrows went up a little. "What do you mean rescue? I'm only here for a week!"
Koga was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"It's a long story, but I'll try to explain. Kagura was trying to make a potion to give her an artificial heart and she accidently turned herself into a small child. Naraku took me and Inuyasha and the rest of our friends here to help us watch her for a week. After a week, she goes back to being an adult and we can leave. Now that you're here, maybe you would like to help?" Kagome asked. Koga could not believe the words that were being spoken to him. His beloved watching playing nanny to his enemy? Either she had been hypnotized or she had gone crazy. He put his hand on her forehead.
"Are you okay my dear? Perhaps you should rest for a bit more." he said.
"I'm fine Koga, really! I am really doing this with my friends because he promised us a shard of the shikon jewel!" Kagome replied.
"No way!" Koga hissed. "I won't do it Kagome! Not even for you! She slaughtered my tribe and I cannot forgive her! If you think I'm going to play nursemaid to Kagura, your nuts!" Kagome sighed. She had been expecting that answer.
"Please Koga? It's only a week!" she said. Koga snorted.
"Forget it!"
"I'll be your woman!" Kagome fibbed.
"Not unless you ditch the wind bitch! One more time Kagome, the answer is NO!!" Koga snarled. The wolf youkai got up to leave. Kagome sighed again. There was only one way to appeal to the stubborn wolf and it seemed she would have to use that one technique that nobody could resist. She had never done this before, even when she was little, but it might work. While he looked away, Kagome pinched herself really hard in some areas which are better left unmentioned, causing her eyes to water. She grinned. "Time to act" she thought to herself.
Koga had taken no more then three steps towards the entryway when a sniffle interrupted him. He whirled around to see his woman looking at him with watery eyes. Koga gasped. He hadn't hurt her with his words, had he? If so, he was going to beat his head against the wall for the remainder of the day. "Kagome- I- I didn't mean it like that. It's just-"
"Good, I've got him." Kagome whispered in her mind. "Just go then." she sniffled. "If you're that concerned about yourself, then just go. I don't need you anyway." Kagome buried her face in her hands and began to cry. She was faking it of course, but she was doing a really good job of it. Koga was on his knees in an instant.
"No, don't do that! Please! If it means that much to you, I'll help you." Koga said in a much softer tone.
"Really?" Kagome sobbed, still faking him out.
"Yes, I mean it." Koga said.
"Thanks!" Kagome said with a smile. As Koga turned away, she grinned. "Good thing I took drama club in my school!" she chuckled.
"Did you say something?" Koga asked.
"I asked where you wanted to sleep." she said quickly.
"I'll just sleep down here. I won't need a bed." Kagome nodded and walked back upstairs to her room. Koga looked at the girl in the kimono who was now asleep on the floor, drooling a little in her sleep. He bit his tongue to suppress laughter. Even if he did hate her, she was kind of cute as a little kid. He would never tell anybody that of course. Koga lay down on the ground to take a nap when Kagome came back down the stairs with a strange box in her hands. It was white and had a red cross on it. She went to him and lifted up his slashed leg.
"What are you doing?" Koga asked.
"Tending to your wounds silly. I have to help you with the slashes or you'll get an infection." she said. Kagome opened the box and saw her take out a small container of clear liquid. She unscrewed the cap and Koga caught scent of it. The moment the smell reached his nose, he began to shiver with fright. It was the smell of the horrible medicine he had been burned with when he was a child.
"No, not that. Please not that!" Koga whimpered.
"Calm down Koga. It's only mercurochrome." Kagome giggled and applied the liquid to Koga's wounds. Koga's ear piercing shrieks amazingly woke nobody else up.
Bright and early the next morning, Inuyasha awoke. He yawned and stretched. It had been a long night last night with Kagura and the game of hide and seek and he was still quite tired from it. Just as he got up, his nose tingled with a new scent. Inuyasha sniffed the air and groaned. Koga was here. No doubt he had come to "rescue" Kagome and once again try to make her his woman. With a grunt, he walked downstairs to find his rival sleeping on the floor. Koga opened one of his eyes and glared at the approaching figure.
"What are you doing here you wimpy wolf?" Inuyasha growled.
"I was going to ask you the same question mutt face." Koga muttered.
How long have you been here?"
"Since last night. I thought my darling was in trouble so I came to rescue her. When I got here, she roped me into helping her take care of Kagura. I take it your doing the same?" Inuyasha nodded. "Oh and have you tried that ramen stuff yet? She gave me a bit and I must say it's good." Inuyasha felt his dog ears flatten against his skull at that. That was going too far. Kagome could rope him into watching his enemy, she could make him play hide and seek with Kagura, she could even let Koga stay with them, but he drew the line at giving the wolf ramen! Inuyasha stomped into the kitchen to see his other allies had awakened. Just what he needed to deal with in addition to Kagura: a perverted monk, a demon hunter, and a bratty fox kit.
"Hi Inuyasha." Miroku said. "Did you just wake up?"
"Where is Kagome?" Inuyasha growled. "I need to talk with her."
"I'm right here baka. What do you need?" Inuyasha turned towards the girl, his body shaking in frenzied wrath.
"What the hell is the deal giving Koga ramen?!!" he bellowed.
"What's wrong with it? He was hungry and I was cooking so I gave him some." Inuyasha had to use all his willpower to restrain the amount of curses which wanted to come flying out of his mouth at that. Then his common sense kicked in and he calmed down. It was just ramen after all. He looked into a nearby cauldron and saw there was still some left. He poured it into a bowl and ate it up in a flash. Then he turned to Kagome again.
"Everybody is so calm. Why aren't Sango and Miroku attacking Naraku?" he asked.
"Don't you remember what Naraku said Inuyasha? He hypnotized them in their sleep so they wouldn't know who he was for a week. When they woke up, he told them he was a demon lord who owned part of this land and that he needed some help watching over his niece. Since they don't know who he is, they agreed to help us." she explained. Just then, Kagura walked into the room.
"Can we play a game Papa?" she asked Naraku.
"What game do you want to play?" he asked.
"I don't know. What do you want to play?"
"I have no preferences. So what do you want to do?" Naraku growled.
"What do you want to do?"
"No, what do you want to do?" This continued for some time. Kagome thought and thought as hard as she could of a game to play. Then at last, an idea came to her.
"I know what we can play!" she said. "We can play a game called hide the wolf." she said. Koga's ears perked up at that.
"Hide the wolf? How do we play that?" she asked.
"It's quite simple. We'll hide Koga somewhere secret and you get to try and find him. If you find him, I'll give you some chocolate." Kagome was interrupted as a small fuzzball by the name of Shippo jumped on her chest.
"You won't give all of it to her, will you? You said it was for me!" Shippo whined. Kagome smiled sweetly and patted his head gently.
"Relax Shippo. I'll save some for you." she said. Shippo smiled and sat back down. Kagura licked her lips. She did not know what chocolate was, but it sounded good.
"Where should I hide Kagome?" Koga asked. Kagome whispered something in his ear and he went speeding out the door. What was unusual though was that this time he left footprints every once in awhile in the ground. Realizing she had to follow the trail, Kagura followed.
Farther off at the sacred well, Koga reached his destination. Kagome had told him to hide in the well she used to come to this time period and he was not about to question her commands. He jumped into the well and grabbed onto a loose branch in the middle of the well to suspend himself in mid air. All he had to do was wait for the wind bitch and then the game would end. She would come. He knew she would. As he thought these things to himself, the branch snapped. Koga went tumbling down the well and landed at the bottom. However he possessed shards of the sacred shikon jewel, so he was catapulted into the twenty first century.
"Where am I?" he wondered, looking around. All around him were tall buildings and the dirt road now appeared to be made of stone or something else. He looked to his left and saw a young boy looking at him. Koga tensed, but then caught some of Kagome's scent on him and relax. He must be a relation or a friend. Before he could ask what his name was, the boy spoke.
"Hey mom! Another demon came through the well!" A woman stepped out of a house and looked at Koga.
"This must be her mother." he thought. The woman opened her mouth and spoke.
"Who are you?" she asked.
My name is Koga. Are you Kagome's mother by any chance?" he asked. Mrs. Higurashi's eyebrow went up a little.
"How do you know my daughter?"
"She's my woman. Of course I know her!" he exclaimed.
"I always thought she was with Inuyasha." she said. Just then, an older man came barreling down the walkway with spell scrolls in his hands. Before Koga could ask who he was, the man stuck a scroll on his face.
"You're that wolf demon Kagome told me about aren't you? What have you done to my granddaughter?" he asked. At first, the wolf prince just stood there frozen with the scroll stuck on his face. "Yes! My seals have finally worked." he thought triumphantly. His hopes were dashed as Koga tore the seal off of his face with a snarl.
"What the hell was that for?!" he demanded. The man's response was to throw another seal at him. Koga tore it to shreds and lunged at the man with a roar of anger.
"You never give up, do you dad?" Mrs. Higurashi sighed to herself as Koga tore after her father.
Back in feudal Japan, Kagura was having some problems of her own. Koga's occasional footprint had led her into a small village and she was having trouble finding him here. "Where are you wolf man?" she asked to nobody in particular.
"Little girl, are you looking for something?" asked a villager. Kagura turned to see a young woman looking down at her.
"Yes but you can't help me with it!" she exclaimed and swept her fan creating a gust of wind sending the woman flying into a fruit stand. The villagers saw this and immediately took the alarm.
"That girl is a demon! Get her!" somebody cried and the entire populace was coming at her, weapons bared. Kagura spun around and swung her fan.
"Dance of the dragon!" she called and sent a group of small tornadoes not much bigger then dust devils. flying forward. The wind wasn't strong enough to hurt the villagers, but it had more then enough strength to scatter them like bowling pins. Then they spread out and shredded a bunch of houses. Kagura giggled. Maybe Koga was hiding in one of the houses! She did the dragon dance again and sent more tornadoes flying out to mow down the houses. All the while villagers were screaming and running around like headless chickens while the chaos rained. After awhile, Kagura stopped.
"Nuts! He wasn't here!" she pouted. Then she noticed another footprint farther ahead. She grinned and walked off, leaving a group of frightened villagers behind her.
Koga jumped out of the well and back into his own time, grumbling bitterly. Even if that man was related to Kagome, who was he to stick spell scrolls on him like he was some common demon that could be defeated by simple means? The only reason he had let the man off was that he knew that if he killed him, Kagome would not be pleased. As he came out of the well, he was grabbed roughly by a little girl.
"Found you!" she said with a grin. Koga scowled and scooped her up onto his back. He crouched for a moment, and then in a blast of wolf wind he was gone.
Back at Naraku's fortress, Kagome was playing with Shippo, Inuyasha was sulking, and Miroku was getting whaled on by Sango for groping her again.
"Sango-san I promise you I didn't see you there!" Miroku whined as Sango pounded him.
"Liar! That's what you say every time!" Sango hissed. She delivered ten more punches to the monk's head and sat back down. "Any idea when they'll be back?"
"Who knows? We've been waiting for awhile now, but they should be back soon." Kagome said. As if on cue, Koga sprinted into the room with Kagura on his back.
"I'm back!" he said, setting Kagura down. She went over to Kagome.
"Where's my chocolate?" she asked. Kagome smiled and dug around in her backpack. When her hand came out, a good sized chocolate bar was in it. She unwrapped it and gave it to her.
"Don't eat all of it or you'll regret it!" Kagome warned. Kagura nodded and bit into the brown sweet. She chewed, swallowed, and then grinned.
"More!" she said and gobbled half of the bar with one bite. Kagome gasped in horror, knowing what would happen if she ate more. She snatched at the chocolate, but it was too late. Kagura opened her mouth and consumed the entire bar. She froze for a moment, and then her eyes began to twitch madly. She smiled so widely that Kagome was surprised that her lips didn't crack. Then she voiced a gibbering scream which perhaps not even a demon could muster. The sound of it caused Inuyasha and Koga to wince and Naraku to widen his eyes. Then she sprinted forward and swung her fan in a wild fashion, sending blades flying every which way. Everybody ducked as glass and shredded tapestries flew everywhere around them as they were torn to shreds. Kagura chuckled madly and ran off down the hall screaming "I am a tornado!" over and over again. When the chaos stopped, Naraku sank to his knees.
"Shit! My home is wrecked again!" he moaned. Then he stood up and clenched his fists in anger. "When I get my hands on her I'll make her feel the torments of the damned!" Then there was a loud explosion from the dungeon. Everybody raced downstairs to see what had happened. In the basement, Kagura was standing over a bubbling cauldron with a mountain of ingredients at her side. She was looking at an open spell book and was laughing insanely.
"What should I do first?" she said aloud.
"Stop that right now or you'll regret it!" Naraku snarled, raising his fist for emphasis. Kagura ignored him and threw a bunch of ingredients into the cauldron. The liquid in it turned purple and bubbled. She gathered some in a beaker and threw it at Naraku. It struck him dead center and mist enshrouded him. When the smoke cleared, Inuyasha found themselves looking at large German Shepard.
"Papa is a doggy now!" she squealed. Naraku bared his now fanged teeth and growled. Then he turned to Inuyasha and sniffed his pant leg. He bristled and growled. Inuyasha growled back.
"Back off you stupid mutt! If you bite me I'll-" He didn't finish as Naraku sank his fangs into his leg with amazing force. Inuyasha screamed and fell back, hammering the dog with his fists as he attempted to pry Naraku off of him but to no avail. Naraku let go and bit Inuyasha on the arm which made him scream again. Everybody else was laughing there heads off at the spectacle before them. As they laughed, Kagura threw more ingredients into the pot and the liquid turned blue. She gathered some up and threw it at Sango. She tried to get out of the way but ended up getting drenched by the liquid. However this was not an animal potion, so it had a different effect. She grinned and turned to Miroku. He smiled back.
"Do you need something Sango?" he asked.
"Yes, I do." she said in a husky voice which made Miroku think of things best left unmentioned. She whispered something in his ear and Miroku grinned.
"Really?" he said. She nodded. Then she descended on the monk and kissed him wildly. Miroku was grinning like a kid that had a secret but refused to tell anybody what it was. Kagome, Shippo and Koga were shocked. Sango never acted this way.
"What's with you? Every time Miroku tries to do this you-" Shippo began but was cut off as the demon slayer whacked him on the head for disturbing her.
As the kitsune began to wail Sango hissed "Quiet! Your disturbing the creative process!" and went back to making out with the monk. Then there was a splash as Koga was hit with some green liquid. He fell to ground and began to convulse as smoke covered his quivering body. Kagome watched in shock as the smoke cleared to reveal that Koga had been turned into a clone of Kagura!
"Um, Koga?" she asked.
"What Kagome?" Koga replied. Kagome took out a mirror and held it up in front of his face. Koga screamed like an 1850's schoolgirl. He fell to ground and joined Shippo in his crying.
"No! No! This can't be!" Koga sobbed. He threw back his head and let out a rather wolf like howl.
As Inuyasha continued to grapple with Naraku the German Shepard he screamed out "You really are a wimpy wolf, you know that?!" and returned to wrestling the dog off of his arm. Kagome was the only one left. She marched up to the girl and seized her by her arm.
"What is the meaning of this?! Turn them back right now or you'll be punished!" she snarled. But to Kagura's sugar racked mind, the words meant nothing. She bit Kagome on the arm and ran off, throwing wind blades every which way. Kagome knew there was only one way to undo the curses the little wind geisha had put on her friends. She took out an arrow and fired it into the center of the room, causing the holy energy to spread over them all. In a flash of light everything was back to normal. Naraku was a demon again, Koga was back in his normal form, and Sango had stopped making out with Miroku.
"What am I doing on you?!" Sango yelled.
"Oh drat, it was only temporary!" Miroku mentally whined as Sango smashed him in the face with her boomerang with her traditional scream of "HENTAI!!"
Koga dashed to Kagome and embraced her in a tight hug, still sobbing but with happiness now. "Thank you my love!" he said in a voice which was dangerously close to wail. "You cured me of that horrible curse! You really do love me!" He was cut off as Inuyasha bonked him on the head. Before Koga could kick at him, a group of tornados came flying in and sent everybody flying like pinballs. Everybody screamed as the wind threw them all over the room. After some time, they fell back to floor, moaning in pain. From the doorway, Kagura giggled and ran off.
When everybody had recovered, they gathered in a circle and discussed what should be done. Kagura had finally gone too far and she needed to be disciplined.
"I think we should just give her a beating!" Naraku suggested. "Next time she'll think twice about doing something like this."
"Calm down Naraku. I agree with you she should be punished, but she was on a sugar high when it happened and we need to punish her properly." Kagome said.
"What do you mean?" Shippo asked.
"Come closer and I'll tell you." she answered. Everybody leaned forward and Kagome leaned forward and whispered something to them. Miroku's eyes widened.
"Are you sure that will work?" he asked. Kagome assured him that it was a sure fire way to get through to her.
"Here's what we're going to do." she began.
Back with Kagura, she was running around the fortress, destroying whatever she could with her wind. Because of all the sugar she had ingested, her mind saw the objects around her as living monsters instead of inanimate objects. Then her eyes caught sight of something that she did not see as a monster. On the ground was a jellybean! She smiled. "More sweets!" she giggled and went after it. Just as she reached it, it moved away from her. Kagura frowned. Jellybeans didn't move! She went after it again but it jumped away again. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a string attached to it. She growled and lunged at it, only to miss. Kagura realized it would not stay still and gave chase. She was fast, but it always stayed ahead of her. She eventually wound up in a dark room and caught the jellybean. "Yay! I got it!" she squealed. Then the door slammed and the lights came on.
The sight before Kagura was truly frightening. The entire group of her babysitters were sitting in front of her in old wooden chairs. They had demonical grins on their faces and each of them held large wooden paddles in their hands.
"Kagura, did you find it amusing when you cast those spells on us?" Kagome said in a rather menacing tone of voice.
"Um-" Kagura began, knowing what was about to happen.
"You did, didn't you?" Shippo said.
"Well we can fix that. I'll go first!" Naraku growled. Before Kagura could move he grabbed her by the wrist and sat down in his chair, placing Kagura over his lap. She squirmed and struggled to free herself, but it was futile. "This is for all the pranks you played on us!" he snarled and brought the paddle crashing down on Kagura's behind. She let out a screech and struggled harder. Naraku grabbed her with his free hand to restrain her and slammed down the paddle again. Kagura howled. He continued this rhythm ten times and then gave her to Koga.
"This is for turning me into you!" *WHACK WHACK WHACK!!* Kagura was wailing as Koga delivered ten more swats to her already aching buttocks. He handed her to Kagome.
"This is for biting me!" she hissed and added ten more spankings to the mix. They continued this pattern of spanking her and giving her to another person. Kagome gave her to Shippo, he to Miroku, him to Sango, and then back again. After repeating this twice, they stopped. Kagura's rear was so red that it was shining through her kimono.
"WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! You didn't have to hit me!" she wailed. Naraku grabbed her and looked her in the eyes.
"Don't EVER do that again." he said. "Have you learned your lesson?" Through a red haze of pain and sobs, Kagura nodded. "Good." Naraku said with a cruel smirk.
That night, Kagura would be sleeping on her stomach.
That's part four! Sorry for the late update, but writers block and homework made my life a living hell. Hope you like it. And thanks again Raven Demon. You really got me going. -Randall Flagg2
