Chapter?: Living Dead Girl
***************************************************************************************
Kagome opened her eyes. Just where had Inuyasha brought them? 'We were kissing...and kissing...and then doing..stuff...', Kagome began to blush. At some point during there make out session, Inuyasha had realized he needed to take them both some where a little more private.
Kagome slowly sat up, removing the arm that was tight around her waiste, holding her possessively. She was careful not to disturb the sleeping hanyou beside her. Examining her surroundings, she realized that although she could see, that was only because of her hanyou eyes, should she still be human, it would more than likely be completely dark. The walls were made of stone, and the ground beneath her was covered in moss. The air smelt musty..cold..earthy..and..like Inuyasha? True, Inuyasha was right beside her, and, they had been here quite a while, but some new instinct told her there was more to it than that.
A cave. She was in a cave. 'I never thought I would lose my virginity in a cave...of course, I never thought I'd turn into a demon either..this cave belongs to Inuyasha!'. That was why it smelt like him! It was marked as his. 'Now how did I know that?...instinct?..I never knew Inuyasha had a cave..'
Quietly, she rose from the cool ground, and, for the first time, noticed that she was naked. 'Oh no...I don't have any thing to wear! My kimono is back at the hotspring!'. She searched the room for anything to cover herself with. Finaly, she spotted a pile of redness. Inuyasha's clothes.
'Well..he won't mind if I burrow his haori just untill I find something else..no, of course he won't..'
She gracefully walked over to the pile as quietly as she could, knowing full well that the slightest movement might wake Inuyasha, silently, she slipped the haori on, tieing it tight around the waiste. She was quite happy to find that it did a rather nice job of covering her up, the bottom went farther down than the skirt of her uniform.
"Kagome?"
"Inuyasha?", Kagome looked to where she had left Inuyasha, he was sitting up now, watching her.
"Feh , who else would be in here?", he asked, smirking, "what are you doing with my haori?"
Kagome picked up his hakama and threw it to him, "Put on some pants Inuyasha..."
He blushed and proceeded to do as she had asked.
"I'm wearing your haori because my kimono is still back at the hotspring, with my backpack, you wouldn't want me running around naked now would you?"
Inuyasha grinned rather pervertedly..
Seeing his grin, she quickly added, "with Miroku around..you know what? We might even run into Kouga? YOu wouldn't want THEM to see me naked...would you?", she looked at him innocently.
"Feh.."
Kagome walked over to him and handed him his white shirt, instead of sitting down, she walked around, examining the cave.
"I didn't know you had a cave Inuyasha."
"Feh, of course I do! All youkia need a place to take there mates when their in heat!", he answered defensively.
Suddenly, an idea popped into Kagome's mind that hadn't been there before. She turned to stare at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha..you haven't..used this cave before? Have you?", Sure, he had been alive who knows how long, but still..the idea that he might have been here with Kikyou..or anyone else for that matter..was..disturbing to say the least.
Inuyasha looked at her as if she had just confessed her secret love for Kaede, and how she planned to go have a threesome with her and Kouga.
He jumped up and grabbed her shoulders.
"OF COURSE I HAVEN'T! How could you even think that? Youkia don't mate with anyone BUT their mate Kagome! Your my mate!", he stared into her eyes, afraid that she might not believe him, and hurt that she would consider it.
"sorry..I didn't know youkia did that..its just that in my old time, guys aren't so..faithful..and tend to um..mate with lots of different girls..and you have been alive so long and all..its just hard to believe that you held out that long.."
Inuyasha let loose her shoulders, seeming to understand what she meant. "Honestly Kagome, in your old time, everyone's a fucking letch!"
'I guess Miroku's nothing compared to some of the guys I've been around..funny..I've never even noticed that before..sure, no one but Miroku has ever asked me to bare their child, but still..'. With the thought of baring children, came the rememberance of something she had been meaning to ask Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha?..", she was blushing again, clearly embarrased by what question she was about to ask, "umm..I know that dogs ONLY mate when their in heat, cause that's the only time they can get pregnant..youkia don't ONLY mate then..do they?"
Inuyasha smirked, it was always nice to hear that your mate just couldn't get enough of you, "Don't worry bakka, you can have me whenever you want."
As bad as she hated to admit it to herself, that was a relief, but there was no way Inuyasha was going to get away with saying something like that to her. "Sit!!..Hentia.."
"BITCH!"
"umm..actualy..I am a bitch..", she giggled at that realization, but her laughter was cut short as she realized something else. A new smell was present. A very very unwelcome smell on her part. Her ears perked up as the almost silent sound of foot fall came closer. That smell...it was..infuriating! 'Why is it making me so mad? Who is it?'. She noticed Inuyasha, still glued to the ground, had stopped groaning and cursing, and was now just as silent as she was. 'He must recognize it..it does seem familiar..'
She tried to let instinct take over and decode the smells..Death..dead leaves..dirt...herbs..flowers..
Kagome was half surprised to find that she was growling..'Well..thats a first..' Kagome continued to growl as the smell came closer, she was clearly visable now..standing only a few feet away.
"Kikyou", Kagome growled out the name of the dead miko standing in front of her, looking as forlourn as ever, "Don't you EVER die?? I thought Naraku killed you for good this time..". Kagome let out a sigh of frustration.
Inuyasha remained in his 'sat' position, though the spell had worn off long ago. He didn't know what to do.
"Well, if it isn't my incarnate..with MY Inuyasha...haven't you realized it yet? I can't die! Not untill the destiny that I had taken away is fulfilled, we both know the only reason Inuyasha took you as his mate is becuase he thought I was dead for good."
'No..Inuyasha loves me...if he wanted her he would have gone to hell with her!', "Thats not true Kikyou! Inuyasha chose me! Kikyou..your dead, you may walk and talk like the living..but your not alive..you stink like death...how do you know that being with Inuyasha was your destiny? Couldn't it be that dieing was your destiny? Kikyou..please don't do this..", Kagome's voice was more pleading than angry, and more comforting than menacing.
"Its rather pointless to argue with yourself, don't you think?", Kikyou taunted subtley as she turned to Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha..why did you do this?"
Very very slowly Inuyasha stood up to face the two women. Kagome appeared insecure and unsure of herself..Kikyou looked forlourn, as usual.
"Kikyou...I..love Kagome."
"But Inuyasha..Don't you love me?"
There was a rather uncomfortable pause as both girls awaited his answer.
"Kikyou...I will always love you..but, we weren't meant to be..your dead, I love Kagome now...I'm sorry.."
Kagome breathed a sigh of relief, though she believed Inuyasha when he told her he loved her, there was still that part of her that would never be sure of just how she measured up to Kikyou.
"If that is how you want it Inuyasha, then I should be the one to say I'm sorry..you must die!"
Inuyasha stared at her, too shocked to do anything else. Kikyou rose the bow, she pulled back the arrow.
"Oh shit..not again!"
The arrow was loose, flying into Inuyasha and pinning him into the side of the cave.
Kikyou turned to face her incarnation, perfectly content with the idea of bestowing her the same fate.
what she saw, actualy brought a flicker of surprise to her dead eyes. Kagome, her copy, was not crying, not screaming, not shocked, not in a rage..but..she was staring at her like she was incredibly stupid.
"Kikyou..I seriously wander about your intelligence sometimes...your realy giving us a bad name.", with that, she calmly walked over to the pinned Inuyasha, and removed the arrow.
"OH NO! Not another one! I've already been through this twice! I don't wanna have two dead girls following me around!", Inuyasha, now free of the seal, was awake, and sufficiently panicked.
Kagome slapped him. "Inuyasha. Its me. Ka-go-me. You were only sealed for about 5 minutes this time. No ones dead..or ...well..unless you count Kikyou..but she was kinda dead already."
Inuyasha was very relieved, but then anger set in, "Kikyou!? Why the fuck do you keep doing that!?"
"Your..alive!"
"YA THINK? In case ya haven't noticed, Kagome can break the spell! How'd ya think I got free in the first place?"
"I..but...Come to hell with me Inuyasha!"
"What the hell? I think being dead has done something to your brain."
"Kikyou! Why can't you just leave us alone? The jewel is gone! I purified it and used the wish, Inuyasha is happy, why can't you just rest in peace now?"
"I can not rest in peace untill my destiny is fulfilled! Me and Inuyasha must be together, and, it seems as though I may have kill you to get you to stop interfereing!."
Inuyasha looked rather..trapped. He wanted to kill Kikyou, with Kagome as his mate, his protective instincts for her had grown even stronger. But he couldn't kill Kikyou...he ...somewhere in him he still felt love for her. 'But this isn't Kikyou! This is just some animated corpse!..but..it looks like her..and sounds like her..I can't do it..'. He slid down into a sitting position against the wall.
"Kikyou, I will not let you kill me! But, I will help you fulfill your destiny! Your destiny was to die Kikyou!", instinct took over as Kagome growled deeply and attacked Kikyou with her claws.
Inuyasha knew he should do something. Do ANYTHING but just sit there. But he couldn't..what was he supposed to do anyway? Pry his mate off of his dead ex-girlfriend? He knew just as well as every other youkia in their right mind that an angry youkia in heat was not something you wanted to mess with. So he just sat there, watching as his mate tore into Kikyou. He was concerned for Kagome..Kikyou did have some pretty strong miko powers...as was evidenced by the brilliant blast of power that soon threw back Kagome. But then she was right back, slashing and clawing. 'If..Kikyou gets the better of her..I..I WILL kill Kikyou..'
Kagome slashed at Kikyou with her claws. She had no idea what had possessed her to attack Kikyou. She had never felt the need to kill her before. But here she was, slashing and clawing with skill she didn't know she had. Instinct, instinct to kill what had threatened her. Youkia intinct. And, unable to resist it, she went with it, ignoring the searing pain brought on by Kikyou's blast of miko energy.
This wouldn't do. Kikyou just wasn't dieing. She was making it almost impossible for Kagome to touch her, as each slash brought her own self pain. The miko energy shield Kikyou had surrounded herself with was doing its job, and doing it well for that matter. Kagome was begining to feel like this was in vain, Kikyou just stood there, emotionlessly, fighting back with her own powers..they weren't getting anywhere.
Suddenly, Kagome felt herself move back a considerable distance, she brought one hand in the air as she let the other stay at her side. "OKIBI AISU!", *A/N, that translates to Blazing Fire Ice...**, she brought her hands together quickly at the wrist, spreading her hands apart, and aimed at the dead miko, so that they formed an cup-like form, out of her hands burst a string ice, pointed like a dagger, and covered, completely, in fire. The string of ice went straight into Kikyou, completely destroying her Miko shield and piercing her.
Inuyasha stared, disbelieving..'um..yeah, Miroku, she DOES have her own powers..'
*A/N: Ahem, remember when inu and mir were having that discusion of whether or not kagome got her own powers? well..you should..it only like 5 chapters ago..ish**
Kikyou looked at the ice dagger impaling her, then she looked straight ahead at Kagome.
"You..You..I'll come back! I always come back!". But, at that moment, the fire that resided on the ice, spread onto Kikyou, enveloping her in its blaze.
Kagome sighed, the control of shere instict quickly fading away, she stared at her two hands, still thrust out in a cup like form...
"Not this time Kikyou..not this time.."
*******************
Inuyasha looked at Kagome, staring in shock at her hands, and then he looked back to the flaming miko. What bothered him most about this particular scene was that Kikyou wasn't writhing, not stuggling in anyway, not even trying to put out the fire. It seemed as though she accepted it...like she was almost..happy about it.
"Ka-Kagome?", he listened to her, as she almost silenty vowed that Kikyou wouldn't be coming back this time...somehow..Inuyasha believed her..
Inuyasha and Kagome both noticed another prescence in the cave, both of them turned their heads upwards, only to see an almost transparent image of the miko who was currently on fire, hovering above them, minus the fire of course.
"Kikyou?!", Inuyasha and Kagome yelled in unision.
"Thank you Kagome, thank you for freeing me...goodbye Inuyasha, I hope you are happy with her...", for once, the voice of Kikyou was saying something considerate to the two, and had said it sincerely, soon the image was gone, and the flaming dead Kikyou dropped to the ground. Dead. Finaly dead. For good.
"Kagome!?"
"Inuyasha..I'm..sorry..I shouldn't have.."
"Feh, its alright Kagome...shes..free now.."
Kagome ran up to Inuyasha, colapsing into his arms.
"Inuyasha..."
***************************************************************************************
******************A safe distance away in Kaede's hut********************************
Sango and Miroku sat with Kaede, grinding up herbs, as they had already found Sango's kimono way to much
for their own good.
Sango but a hand over her stomache, she was feeling quesy yet again, "Kaede, do you have something for my stomache? It has been, rather, upset lately."
"Of course Sango, let me go get something.", the old Miko left the room.
Miroku put an arm around Sango's shoulder, concerned, "Your not sick are you Sango? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine Miroku, don't worry about me...its probably just one of those 'viruses' Kagome speaks of..', of course, her statement held little conviction as she suddenly jumped up, ran outside and vomited.
"Sango?!", Miroku ran outside to see what he could do.
After finishing that, Sango turned calmly, grudgingly accepting Miroku's shoulder to lean on, and returned to the hut.
Kaede had already returned with some medicine, and had laid out a futon. Miroku helped Sango lie down, quite to her protests.
"I'm fine Miroku! I just need a little something for my stomache, I don't need to lie down!"
"Lets just be cautious Sango, what harm can it do?", Miroku reasoned, Kaede nodded her head and handed Sango a glass of some
medicinal drink.
Kaede only cocked an eyebrow and watched, as Sango downed the tea and then lay back down, under the watchful and concerned eye of Miroku, who sat on his knees, letting Sango lean her head up against his leg, absently, he pulled some of the hair out of her face. Soon, Kirara snuggled up into Sango's side.
Miroku stroked her cheek, the girl too tired to protest...a look of obvious worry was caste over his face.
'Just a virus?'
************************************************************************************************************************************The Seshoumaru Update*********************************************************************************************
"Seshy-sama?..When are we going to find Feather lady? Its been soo long, Rin is hungry!", the little girl tapped the top of his head to get his attention, as she was, still yet, residing on his shoulders.
"Soon Rin, I can smell her. It will not be long now...and stop calling me that. If your hungry then I will go get you something to eat.", he stated emotionlessly, as he lifted the little girl off his shoulders.
Spotting a medium sized CLEAN rock, he sat her on it. He dragged his foot around it, forming a circle in the dirt. Expressionlessly, he took one of his sharp claws and dug it into the skin of his fore arm. He took a finger and dabbed it into the small bead of blood that had appeared 'eww..icky blood..it might stain my kimono!', quickly, he took the blood dabbed finger and pressed it to Rin's forhead.
"Stay here Rin, I will go hunt for us, no one will hurt you, with my blood on you, they will know to stay away, *for now*, you are mine. No one, takes away anything that belongs to I, the great Seshoumaru."
"Okay Seshy!..", seeing her beloved Seshy head for a tree, with every intent on using it to mess up his pretty hair, she quickly corrected herself, "I mean...Seshoumaru-Sama, can you get us a rabbit Seshoumaru-Sama?
Rin LIKES rabbits!"
"Be quite Rin, and do not move from that spot."
Rin nodded her head as she watched Seshy disapear from sight, to go catch a rabbit.
'I hate hunting..it gets me all dirty...eww..but for that blasted mortal girl...she is hungry, I must feed her..icky dirt..eww.."

That was why it smelt like him! It was marked as his. 'Now how did I know that?...instinct?..I never knew Inuyasha had a cave..'

"BITCH!"
"umm..actualy..I am a bitch..", she giggled at that realization, but her laughter was cut short as she realized something else. A new smell was present. A very very unwelcome smell on her part. Her ears perked up as the almost silent sound of foot fall came closer. That smell...it was..infuriating! 'Why is it making me so mad? Who is it?'. She noticed Inuyasha, still glued to the ground, had stopped groaning and cursing, and was now just as silent as she was. 'He must recognize it..it does seem familiar..'
She tried to let instinct take over and decode the smells..Death..dead leaves..dirt...herbs..flowers..
Kagome was half surprised to find that she was growling..'Well..thats a first..' Kagome continued to growl as the smell came closer, she was clearly visable now..standing only a few feet away.
"Kikyou", Kagome growled out the name of the dead miko standing in front of her, looking as forlourn as ever, "Don't you EVER die?? I thought Naraku killed you for good this time..". Kagome let out a sigh of frustration.
Inuyasha remained in his 'sat' position, though the spell had worn off long ago. He didn't know what to do.
"Well, if it isn't my incarnate..with MY Inuyasha...haven't you realized it yet? I can't die! Not untill the destiny that I had taken away is fulfilled, we both know the only reason Inuyasha took you as his mate is becuase he thought I was dead for good."

"Its rather pointless to argue with yourself, don't you think?", Kikyou taunted subtley as she turned to Inuyasha.

Kagome slapped him. "Inuyasha. Its me. Ka-go-me. You were only sealed for about 5 minutes this time. No ones dead..or ...well..unless you count Kikyou..but she was kinda dead already."
Inuyasha was very relieved, but then anger set in, "Kikyou!? Why the fuck do you keep doing that!?"
"Your..alive!"
"YA THINK? In case ya haven't noticed, Kagome can break the spell! How'd ya think I got free in the first place?"
"I..but...Come to hell with me Inuyasha!"
"What the hell? I think being dead has done something to your brain."
"Kikyou! Why can't you just leave us alone? The jewel is gone! I purified it and used the wish, Inuyasha is happy, why can't you just rest in peace now?"
"I can not rest in peace untill my destiny is fulfilled! Me and Inuyasha must be together, and, it seems as though I may have kill you to get you to stop interfereing!."

But he couldn't kill Kikyou...he ...somewhere in him he still felt love for her. 'But this isn't Kikyou!

"Kikyou, I will not let you kill me! But, I will help you fulfill your destiny! Your destiny was to die Kikyou!", instinct took over as Kagome growled deeply and attacked Kikyou with her claws.
Inuyasha knew he should do something. Do ANYTHING but just sit there. But he couldn't..what was he supposed to do anyway? Pry his mate off of his dead ex-girlfriend? He knew just as well as every other youkia in their right mind that an angry youkia in heat was not something you wanted to mess with. So he just sat there, watching as his mate tore into Kikyou.

Kagome slashed at Kikyou with her claws. She had no idea what had possessed her to attack Kikyou. She had never felt the need to kill her before. But here she was, slashing and clawing with skill she didn't know she had. Instinct, instinct to kill what had threatened her. Youkia intinct.

Kagome was begining to feel like this was in vain, Kikyou just stood there, emotionlessly, fighting back with her own powers..they weren't getting anywhere.
Suddenly, Kagome felt herself move back a considerable distance, she brought one hand in the air as she let the other stay at her side. "OKIBI AISU!", *A/N, that translates to Blazing Fire Ice...**, she brought her hands together quickly at the wrist, spreading her hands apart, and aimed at the dead miko, so that they formed an cup-like form, out of her hands burst a string ice, pointed like a dagger, and covered, completely, in fire. The string of ice went straight into Kikyou, completely destroying her Miko shield and piercing her.
Inuyasha stared, disbelieving..'um..yeah, Miroku, she DOES have her own powers..'
*A/N: Ahem, remember when inu and mir were having that discusion of whether or not kagome got her own powers? well..you should..it only like 5 chapters ago..ish**
Kikyou looked at the ice dagger impaling her, then she looked straight ahead at Kagome.
"You..You..I'll come back! I always come back!". But, at that moment, the fire that resided on the ice, spread onto Kikyou, enveloping her in its blaze.
Kagome sighed, the control of shere instict quickly fading away, she stared at her two hands, still thrust out in a cup like form...
"Not this time Kikyou..not this time.."
*******************
Inuyasha looked at Kagome, staring in shock at her hands, and then he looked back to the flaming miko. What bothered him most about this particular scene was that Kikyou wasn't writhing, not stuggling in anyway, not even trying to put out the fire. It seemed as though she accepted it...like she was almost..happy about it.
"Ka-Kagome?", he listened to her, as she almost silenty vowed that Kikyou wouldn't be coming back this time...somehow..Inuyasha believed her..
Inuyasha and Kagome both noticed another prescence in the cave, both of them turned their heads upwards, only to see an almost transparent image of the miko who was currently on fire, hovering above them, minus the fire of course.
"Kikyou?!", Inuyasha and Kagome yelled in unision.
"Thank you Kagome, thank you for freeing me...goodbye Inuyasha, I hope you are happy with her...", for once, the voice of Kikyou was saying something considerate to the two, and had said it sincerely, soon the image was gone, and the flaming dead Kikyou dropped to the ground. Dead. Finaly dead. For good.
"Kagome!?"
"Inuyasha..I'm..sorry..I shouldn't have.."
"Feh, its alright Kagome...shes..free now.."
Kagome ran up to Inuyasha, colapsing into his arms.
"Inuyasha..."

******************A safe distance away in Kaede's hut********************************
Sango and Miroku sat with Kaede, grinding up herbs, as they had already found Sango's kimono way to much
for their own good.
Sango but a hand over her stomache, she was feeling quesy yet again, "Kaede, do you have something for my stomache? It has been, rather, upset lately."
"Of course Sango, let me go get something.", the old Miko left the room.
Miroku put an arm around Sango's shoulder, concerned, "Your not sick are you Sango? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine Miroku, don't worry about me...its probably just one of those 'viruses' Kagome speaks of..', of course, her statement held little conviction as she suddenly jumped up, ran outside and vomited.
"Sango?!", Miroku ran outside to see what he could do.
After finishing that, Sango turned calmly, grudgingly accepting Miroku's shoulder to lean on, and returned to the hut.
Kaede had already returned with some medicine, and had laid out a futon. Miroku helped Sango lie down, quite to her protests.
"I'm fine Miroku! I just need a little something for my stomache, I don't need to lie down!"
"Lets just be cautious Sango, what harm can it do?", Miroku reasoned, Kaede nodded her head and handed Sango a glass of some
medicinal drink.
Kaede only cocked an eyebrow and watched, as Sango downed the tea and then lay back down, under the watchful and concerned eye of Miroku, who sat on his knees, letting Sango lean her head up against his leg, absently, he pulled some of the hair out of her face. Soon, Kirara snuggled up into Sango's side.
Miroku stroked her cheek, the girl too tired to protest...a look of obvious worry was caste over his face.
'Just a virus?'
************************************************************************************************************************************The Seshoumaru Update*********************************************************************************************
"Seshy-sama?..When are we going to find Feather lady? Its been soo long, Rin is hungry!", the little girl tapped the top of his head to get his attention, as she was, still yet, residing on his shoulders.
"Soon Rin, I can smell her. It will not be long now...and stop calling me that. If your hungry then I will go get you something to eat.", he stated emotionlessly, as he lifted the little girl off his shoulders.
Spotting a medium sized CLEAN rock, he sat her on it. He dragged his foot around it, forming a circle in the dirt. Expressionlessly, he took one of his sharp claws and dug it into the skin of his fore arm. He took a finger and dabbed it into the small bead of blood that had appeared 'eww..icky blood..it might stain my kimono!', quickly, he took the blood dabbed finger and pressed it to Rin's forhead.
"Stay here Rin, I will go hunt for us, no one will hurt you, with my blood on you, they will know to stay away, *for now*, you are mine. No one, takes away anything that belongs to I, the great Seshoumaru."
"Okay Seshy!..", seeing her beloved Seshy head for a tree, with every intent on using it to mess up his pretty hair, she quickly corrected herself, "I mean...Seshoumaru-Sama, can you get us a rabbit Seshoumaru-Sama?
Rin LIKES rabbits!"
"Be quite Rin, and do not move from that spot."
Rin nodded her head as she watched Seshy disapear from sight, to go catch a rabbit.
'I hate hunting..it gets me all dirty...eww..but for that blasted mortal girl...she is hungry, I must feed her..icky dirt..eww.."
