Inuyasha
I'm Afraid I'm Not in Hokkaido Anymore
Chapter IV: Odious Scoundrel Naraku and The Return of The Queen
"So I called him a crash dummy and he was like, 'I'm not a doll!' The guy's so goofy he just doesn't realize it!" Yura lampooned, causing the entire lounge of girls to burst out into hysterical laughter.
"Well, that's Hojo for you." Ukyo added.
Kikyou felt right at home with her new found friends. They managed to enliven her depression, making her nearly forget that she was kidnapped. Somehow, they reminded her of her high school peers. And when theres peers involved there's always peer pressure. If her mother could of seen her current behavior, she'll give her daughter a good scolding and more. Thanks to Shampoo, Kikyou had tasted nectar for the first time and now she couldn't get enough of it. She was now inebriated and drunkenly following along with the naughty jokes uttered by the other women in the room.
"Guawrshh! Dat dude reallie hwad eet koming." Kikyou swooned.
"Um, Kikyou I think you drunk a little too much." Kagura noticed.
"Naw! I'm kewl. I'm just a leetle tipsy turvy." Kikyou burped. How unladylike.
"Shampoo!" Ukyo scolded. "You let her drank to much. Now some lucky man will definitely take advantage of her."
"Ah! Shampoo just having fun with friend, Kikyou."
A knock at the door was heard. The girls answered by opening the door, allowing Sesshoumaru and a wickedly handsome man covered in baboon pelt to enter. The women glared at Naraku uncertainly and ignored his presence. Sesshoumaru raised a hand to reassure the girls that he wasn't any threat. If only Sesshoumaru knew. He lead Naraku through the lounge and showed him to Kikyou. Unaware of her imminent danger, Kikyou sat balled up in an almost fetal appearance, oblivious to the world. Naraku took a good look at the young woman. She appears very seductive, something that wasn't expected for a woman of legend and yet something was indeed wrong.
She was extremely intoxicated and abruptly she threw up on him. This caught the wizard by surprise.
"Ew!!!!!!" The girls exclaimed.
"Sorry." Kikyou chuckled lethargically. " This is the first time I've done that in years."
Naraku was disgusted. The bitch vomited on him for goodness sakes. Angrily, he waved his hand and magically the vile disappears and Kikyou sobered in an instant. Naraku gave the girl a second look. So he can see the true "her". She was young, perhaps too young Naraku thought. She was far younger than Kokyiu supposed to be in legends. (A/N: Kokyiu is said to be around twenty seven). Naraku also noticed that the girl appears far too delicate to be even considered a warrior. He smiled as he saw the confused expression on the girl's face.
" Madam. I've heard of a beautiful and graceful female wondering about in this world. Your name's Kokiyu, is it not? (A/N: Kokyiu, Kokiyu, whatever. Doesn't matter.)
"No. My name is Horikawa. Kikyou Horikawa." Kikyou answered reluctantly. Naraku still held that smile. Her awswer confirmed that she is the woman of legend, despite the amalgamation of her name. Kikyou saw the expression on his face and was stricken by fear.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Kikyou demanded, backing into a corner. She fell on her bottom and display to Naraku a good glimpse up her school skirt. Naraku snickered lecherously when he saw her. A provocative idea occurred in his mind.
"Kukuku. . .If it is you Kokyiu my dear, allow my to test you to see if it is true." He declared. Kikyou definitely did not like the sound of his statement. Test? Test what?
Sesshoumaru was disgusted, even for a panderer. "Naraku I shall not allow such procedures in this room. If you wish to do so, head to the lowest floor." Kikyou eyes widened in shock and horror. This ridiculous baboon man wants to have intercourse with her! For heaven's sake, she's already been violated earlier. She prayed that Sesshoumaru will restrict the wizard from "touching" her. Alas, Sesshoumaru exited the lounge and returned to the main floor of the tavern.
'No! I will not allow this arrogant bastard to touch me! No way in hell!' Kikyou mused, tears streaking her face. Naraku cupped his hand under her chin. The women gave her a sad look of apology. Shampoo didn't like it either, she wanted to throw a empty glass bottle at the sorcerer.
"Now my dear." Naraku grinned evilly. "Shall we proceed downstairs?"
" Not even in your wildest dreams!" Kikyou sobbed, delivering the wizard a powerful slap to his face, that could render any man comatose. Surprisingly, he was totally unfazed. Who is this man?
"You're feisty my dear! Kukukuku. . .But your resistance is futile. Come along now." Naraku commanded.
Kikyou inhaled and spat in his face.
" You. . .you! Arrogant bitch!" He drew his hand back and retaliated with a quick slap to her face, knocking her unconscious. "You see, you stupid fool. Things would have been easier if you immediately complied. Now look at you!?" He lifted her and slung her over his shoulders. Before leaving the room he look back at the angry glares of the other women. "My apologies ladies. Pretend that you haven't witness anything that just transpired here. Have a nice day." He left the fuming women.
"THAT BASTARD!!!" They chorused.
* * *
Inuyasha made his way to the village, with Sangou, Miroku, and Kirara behind. He frantically sniffed his surrounding for Kikyou's scent. He was getting warmer. He did jumped to conclusions awhile ago though. He approached a woman whom almost had both the looks and the sweet scent of Kikyou. The only difference though, was the girl was much thinner and less amply endowed. Plus her hair was done in a short and spikey fashion. The hanyou apologized for his inconvenience as he almost received a slap from the girl. Fortunately for him, the scent finally led him to a three storied tavern. He cursed himself as he noticed the structure. It was one of many that his older brother owns across Geisha. The Pandora's Box.
"Well look what we have here." Miroku smirked in anticipation.
"Don't get any ideas Miroku. We're not here for a drink you know." Sangou commented.
"No not the drinks, Sangou. It's the beauties that work there. Fortune smiles upon me." Praised Miroku.
"Kikyou's inside!" Inuyasha exclaimed. "If anyone touches her they will pay a high price!" He burst through the doors.
"My. Would you look at that?" Miroku chuckled.
"I wonder. Could it be he's in love with Kikyou?" Sangou inquired. " After all, she looks a lot like Kagome. Maybe he's feeling nostalgic for her."
*THOK!*
*WHAM!*
*POW!*
"Where is she!? Answer me!" Shouted an enraged Inuyasha.
Sangou and Miroku entered the hut only to see several unconscious bodies sprawled on the floor. Inuyasha was standing on the bar counter with his Iron Fang Blade at ready with a menacing expression on his face. The frightened female bartender escaped upstairs, oblivious to him. Sangou approached the demon on the bar.
"You're sure she's here, Inuyasha?"
"Of course she is! This whole tavern reeks of her scent!"
"Inuyasha, doesn't this place belongs to your brother?" Asked Miroku.
"He owns the place but. . ." He caught another scent. " He's here all right! That idiot! He better not lay even a strand of hair on Kikyou!" Declared Inuyasha. He makes a mad dash to the staircase and abruptly stopped in front of his descending brother.
"What do you want?"
"Sesshoumaru, where's the kid?"
"Insolent little sibling, she's downstairs if you must know. Oh and she's accompanied by a wizard. Alone."
"What!? Sesshoumaru how could you? If she gets hurt I'm going to bust your head too!"
"Spare me your indignation, you half breed. You know you're no match for me. En Grade, little brother." He unsheathes his katana.
"Oh it's like that , huh? Inuyasha challenged. "Sangou, Miroku, head downstairs and rescue Kikyou."
At his command the monk and the demon exterminator proceeded down the stairwell.
Kikyou convalesced from unconsciousness. She remembered the hard knock a certain man in baboon covering gave her before she blacked out. Plus, she had a red mark to prove it. Groggily, she wakes up and found herself lying on a very soft king sized bed with beautiful embellishments. To her shock, she also discovers that Naraku was sitting besides her as he proceeds to take off her hoses. With a yelp she jumps off the bed and look down at herself. She still had her clothes on, minus her school loafers much to her relief. Naraku snickered at the frightened girl.
"Don't worry Kokiyu. We'll get to that." He said, whirling her loafer on his fingers. That bastard! He was really serious!
"You wouldn't dare!" Kikyou cowered. Naraku finds her fears even more enticing.
"Now wouldn't I, Kokiyu?" He grinned walking towards her and pinning her against the wall. Kikyou suddenly felt something awfully hard and strong against her upper legs as it lifted her slightly off her feet. She cried in indignation. Wishing that a miracle or an act of God can stop the wizard's impending adultery.
"No!" She cried. "I will not comply to your wicked desires!" Feeling herself being lifted higher effortlessly by the wizard's manhood.
"Ah. Kokiyu, who would of ever imagined that you would be so tender? Kukuku. . .I bet it will feel even better if we 'do' it. Allow my to slip off your estranged garments."
"Never!"
A boomerang appeared out of nowhere and it rammed at the wizards head. With great pain and indignation he skewed a look at the girl's saviors. Sangou and Miroku appeared just in the nick of time. Kikyou thanked the heavens for her rescue. God is good.
"Sangou! Miroku! How happy I am to see you!" Kikyou praised.
"It's you!" Miroku exclaimed. "You're the one who cursed me all those years ago!"
"Monk Miroku. . .Kukuku. Long time no see."
"Naraku, the day of reckoning is upon you. Now you shall be destroyed by the very curse you bestowed upon me! Wind Void!" He removed his prayer rosary and unleashed a powerful vortex of inhaling wind.
However, Naraku stood unfazed by the wind. He laughed at the monks efforts and grabbed Kikyou and flee through the open window.
"After him! He's getting away with Kikyou!" Sangou shouted.
Inuyasha leaned on the bar counter slightly injured. Slightly injured!? The guy had bloody slash scars all over his chest and back. You call that minor injury!? Sesshoumaru scoffed at his younger brother as he nodded his head in disappointment.
"My dear little brother. Certainly you can do better than that. I thought that the knights of Geisha are invincible? It is said that their skills and power are unmatched. Sadly, the world believes to strongly in the word of mouth."
"Go fuck yourself!" Inuyasha spat. "I'm just warming up!" He charge at Sesshoumaru with his sword upheld high above him. Sesshoumaru anticipated his foolish move and reversed his intended attack by grabbing the edges of his brother's blade and flinging him through the air.
"HA! I lack skill you say!?" Inuyasha laughed as he made way to a wall. Craftily, he used his momentum and bounded off the wall and launched himself back at Sesshoumaru. Nailing the demon with a flying clothesline. Sesshoumaru faltered on the floor.
"How'd you like that? It's the Ricochet Lariat!" He exclaimed proudly.
Sesshoumaru raised himself off the floor, wiping away the blood on his lips. "Ah. The taste of blood. Well done Inuyasha. You are in the spirit of battle." He complimented.
Without hesitation, Inuyasha raced up to his brother and grabbed his leg and swung him through the air. Gracefully, Sesshoumaru landed on his feet like a cat and retaliated with a flying roundhouse kick. Inuyasha was sent flying outside the tavern due to the force of the kick's impact. He hastily kempt himself off the ground with a somersault when he saw Sesshoumaru charging from the pub. The brothers then lock blades.
"You know what, Sesshoumaru, you still give me the best fights." Inuyasha complimented.
"Likewise, little brother. And here I thought every since you became a knight at the castle you became weaker. I guess I was wrong. Does this 'Kikyou' fuels your rage?"
"What did you just say!?"
"Foolish boy. I know when my little brother's in love. You haven't fought like this since the queen was alive."
"Crash dummy! Kagome is not dead!!!"
"Is that so? Then where is she? The queen would never abandon her only love without telling him. Now would she? Face it, little brother, your beloved woman is indeed dead!!"
"Stupid bastard! She is not dead!!" Inuyasha shouted, attempting a desperate swing of his sword to end his brother's ranting. Unfortunately, Sesshoumaru dodge his brother's attack and turned his own momentum against him by grabbing Inuyasha's shoulders and slamming him face first to the ground. He held Inuyasha tightly by his hair while he placed his foot on Inuyasha's back.
"Now little brother. What else do you have to say? Listen I'll be graceful enough to end your life here and allow you to go on and see your woman in the Nether World. That, in doing so to finally prove my point that she is dead. After all, you'll thank me." He was about to impale Inuyasha until he caught a glimpse of Naraku fleeing with Kikyou in tow. Reluctantly he released his little brother. This caught the hanyou completely by surprise.
"Why? Sesshoumaru why did you stop. If Kagome's dead then let me join her."
"Inuyasha. I'll have to do that some other time. Is that the woman you're currently in love with being carried away by that man there?" He pointed to Naraku who was far off in the distance. Kikyou was pounding at his back in rage.
"Kikyou!!!" He jumped up from the ground and followed the baboon man in hot pursuit.
Naraku was far away from the village. He finally lost the exterminator and the monk. He felt pangs and tears searing on his back. "Will you cut that out you stubborn fox!?" He chided at the girl on his shoulder.
"Let me go! I want nothing to do with you!" Kikyou screamed.
"Kokyiu you're are such a crybaby. I never thought that the woman of legend is like you." Naraku snickered.
"For goodness sakes, I am not this Kokyiu you keep on ranting about! Now unhand me!"
"Oh no! I haven't finished what I started my dear. I assure you, you'll enjoy every moment of it. You'll see that I'm not a bad person after all, Kokyiu."
"Don't lie to here like that." A voice warned.
"Who's there!?" Naraku demanded, jumping onto a nearby tree.
A bolt of energy struck the tree he was on. Prompting him to jump from the giant plant due to the explosion. Kikyou yelped in surprise. Could it be Inuyasha.
"Whoever you are, once I find you, I will destroy you!" Naraku declared.
"That's funny? You want to destroy a woman who is already dead? For shame, you cannot harm me, wizard. Even if I were to be dead." The voice ridiculed.
"My patience is wearing thin! Show yourself!" Suddenly an invisible punch landed on Naraku face that caused him to drop Kikyou in tow and him flying to a tree. Kikyou frantically looked around for the source of the deception. Funny, her savior is undoubtedly female.
Naraku recovered and snarled. "You bitch! Where are you! Whoever you are!?"
"Oh! Such dirty words!" The voice mocked. Naraku was sent rolling on the ground again from an unseen attack. He grew irritated by the second. His pride was being broken by a girl and she's laughing at him. He looked at Kikyou who was sitting on the ground not to far away and realized it wasn't her. Kikyou still had that horrified expression on her face. Naraku looks around again in infuriation, until he was zapped by a streak of holy magic.
"Urg! Who are you!? Where are you!?"
"You've should of left Kokyiu alone, Naraku." The voice chided again.
"My name's not Kokyiu. It's Kikyou." Kikyou addressed the voice.
"Whatever. Naraku you should've left my kingdom alone as well. Now you will pay for your crimes!!"
Kikyou's mysterious savior finally materialized. Kikyou gawked at her in surprise. The woman was young, probably a little older than her. Her ebon hair waved gracefully in the wind as a beautiful smile formed on her face. Her wide brown eyes gleamed in valor and strength. She had on a pajama like blue and white warrior garments. She held a bow in her hands at ready. Naraku turned pale in horror.
"Queen Kagome! It can't be! I thought you were dead!!" Naraku shouted in disbelief.
" You thought I was dead? Shame on you! I can't let you ruin my kingdom without me having anything to say about it." Kagome laughed.
"It's you. . ." Kikyou uttered, finally able to talk again from shock.
"Ah. So you're the legendary heroine. It is indeed nice to finally meet you. Although I never expected you to be carried off by the likes of 'him'." Kagaome said pointing off to Naraku.
"Fool!" Naraku shouted desperately. "I'll end your life!" He made a mad charge at Kagome. The queen somehow anticipated this. She clobbered the wizard the moment he was within reach, knocking Naraku out cold.
"Kagome san. I thank you." Kikyou regarded, bowing her head.
"No, Ko. . .I mean, Kikyou, I should be thanking you for finally showing up to assist our kingdom." Kagome accoladed.
"Me? I'm not a warrior, Kagome. I have no powers. All the while I've been here I've been carried like a child everywhere and crying like a baby." Kikyou sighed despondently.
" Kikyou, how old are you?"
"I'm eighteen. Why you asked?"
"Hmm. A little age difference from the legends of old, but we can still work with that. Kikyou I assure you, your arrival here is of no coincidence."
"I don't care! Listen your majesty, but I am not a orphic savior you speak of. I had to tell a lot of people that already. I'm lost. Lost! I cannot save your kingdom. Who am I kidding? I couldn't even save myself from that dirty man, Naraku."
"I'm sorry you feel that way Kikyou. But-"
"No! I want to go home! Kagome you don't understand! I have a family and they're probably worried sick about me! Kagome I'm sorry! This is some kind of mistake." Kikyou cried.
"You have a family, Kikyou? Kikyou, I understand the pain that you're going through."
"How!? You're a ruler of an entire world. How can you understand my pain!!?"
"Kikyou. . .It's because. . . I've lost my entire family when I was a little girl." Kagome replied sadly.
Kikyou gasped. "Gomen nasai, Kagome. I didn't mean to. . . I I didn't knew that."
"Kikyou, my little brother, my mother and my father was taken away from me when I was younger. Death came in threes and unfortunately, my family were the ones who had to depart from this life."
"Kagome san. . ."
"Kikyou!"
Kagome and Kikyou attention was caught by Inuyasha rushing up to the forest. When he finally reached them, his heart rate increased as he finally noticed the queen whom he had long to see again for such a long time.
"K-Kagome. . ."
"Inuyasha?. . ."
"Kagome, I missed you. I was certain that you departed life but somehow I knew you was alive."
"Inuyasha. I missed you too, baby." She ran up to him and grabbed him in a tight embrace. Kikyou smiled at the two love birds. It was such a happy ending.
"Reunited. . .and it feels so good." Kagome pipired, kissing his cheek.
"I know, Kagome. We've made it through the storm at last." Inuyasha whispered in her ears.
"Um, guys? What is that am I feeling? I feel terrible vibes." Kikyou shuddered.
Kagome and Inuyasha released themselves from their embrace and regarded Kikyou, whom had a horrified, glazed over look on her face. What was it that she's sensing? Is it coming from the storm clouds that suddenly appeared in the skies.
"It's horrible!!" Kikyou screamed. "Odious! Terrifying! Demonic! What is it!? Where is it coming from!!!!? AAAAAHHHH!!!" She collasped to the ground.
"Kikyou!!" Kagome and Inuyasha screamed in horror, simultaneously.
Kikyou laid on the ground shivering. "Closer!!" She shouted insanely. "It's getting closer! It's a wicked, forbidden energy and it's drawing closer!! You must run!! RUN!!!"
Inuyasha unsheathes his Tetsusaiga. "Well, we'll just have to obliterate it. Don't worry, kid. I got this."
"PLEASE! You cannot even begin to fathom the evil I'm sensing here. You must run Inuyasha! Please for my sake! Run!"
"Damn it Kikyou! I told you I got this!" Inuyasha retorted cockily.
Kagome began to feel it too as her hair starts to stand on end. "Oh no! Inuyasha it's here."
"Who's here!?"
"It's her!"
"Her!? Her who!?"
"It's too late, we're doomed! All is lost!" Kikyou cried.
The evil presence finally made itself know. "Well that's a new one. The legendary heroine, Kokyiu, being driven insane by my presence. Pathetic fools! You really thinks you have a chance against me now that this 'girl' arrived her!? You really think you can defeat me!!!? The Tyrant of Darkness!!"
"Inuyasha, be on your guard! Megoka's here!! She is the most evil, unforgiving creature who ever walked the world!" Kagome warned.
"Megoka!? You're saying that the tyrant that forced you into exile is an evil bitch!?"
"Exactly! A downright EVIL bitch at that!" Kagome retorted.
"For shame, sovereign of Geisha, you using dirty words now. Besides, Kagome you know me all too well. As a matter of fact you know me better than I know myself. Hell, I AM YOU!!!"
The tyrant makes her appearance. Inuyasha and Kikyou stared in shock. Kagome was not at all surprised. Megoka was an exact doppelganger of the queen. She wore a leather black outfit with accents her curvy body perfectly. She also had on a long black, wicked looking cape. The devil girl looks every bit like the queen except for her narrow eyes of demonic violet. A purple black aura surrounded her causing her would be victims to become sick.
"You idiots ! Are you ready to meet your maker!?" She laughed as the entire heavens shook at her wicked glory.
"Inuyasha. . . Kagome. . ."
Aw man! The dreaded cliffhanger! Well, I'll update real soon. Merry Christmas! I already know I'm not getting shit. Heck, I've been bad all my life. Anyway, I'll be back soon.
