Chapter 8
Everyone sat there, not saying anything. Reiko was looking at the floor, trying hard not to cry. It was always hard telling people about her past and that's why she never did. She knew that everyone would be surprised, but she didn't expect them to show sympathy. Reiko was sure they would be furious with her because she was lying to them for almost three months. But instead they still accepted her.
Sesshomaru nuzzled her neck and she smiled. Yes, they forgave her and she was glad. They still loved her and she felt like her family had risen from the dead. Reiko finally felt loved again.
Inuyasha finally broke the silence. "Reiko, why didn't you tell us sooner?"
Reiko's head shot up and then lowered it again, "I was afraid to. You were all so nice to me and I didn't want to bother you with. . . my problems."
"But Reiko even if you did tell us we wouldn't have shunned you. You have done so much for us that we could only repay you by staying at your side." Kagome said while rubbing her arm.
Reiko smiled and looked at everyone. "Really?"
Keade came forward and took her hands in hers. "My dear, ye have a way of burrowing deep within a person's heart. Ye did it with all of us. Just listen to what everyone says and does with you. The children call you Auntie Re, Inuyasha and everyone else see you as a friend and close sister. I think of ye as my daughter. Oh how I wished ye were. Even Sesshomaru..." she looked into his eyes, "Ye even earned a spot in his heart."
Reiko looked at Sesshomaru who smiled and stroked her cheek. Tears of happiness flooded her eyes and she wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru, then around Keade.
"Thank you Keade, I needed to hear those words." She whispered in the old woman's ear. Keade rubbed her back. When she released the young woman, Reiko got up and hugged everyone, each hug filled with love and compassion. When she reached Sesshomaru, he wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Aisheteru Sesshomaru." He smiled and kissed her, whispering the same words on her soft lips.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Are you sure this is going to work?" Kikyo said holding up her new bow with a confused look on her face. This wasn't like her old one. Her old one was made out of sturdy oak and horsetail for the string. No, this one seemed to be made out of a fang of some great animal and the bowstring was thicker. Carvings of strange symbols ran down the length of the bow and were painted gold on black.
"Of course my dear, would I lie to you?" The strange man said. Kikyo gave him a weird look but shrugged. The man stepped forward. "Now you know what you have to do. When you come to the village you have to make sure that Reiko sees that bow in your hand. After she does then you can go and find Inuyasha."
Kikyo looked at the bow in confusion. "Why does that woman have to see this bow?" The man smiled, "Because that bow has a certain power to it. When she lays her eyes upon the symbols her powers will be held in check, making her vulnerable."
Kikyo nodded and slung the bow over her back. "I'll attack tomorrow when the sun rises. Kagome. . . you are a dead woman."
The man chuckled. 'Foolish woman, I have seen your future. It isn't a pretty one.' With that they started for the village.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Kagome do you have to go?" Inuyasha whined, having his arms folded across his chest. Kagome giggled, he looked so cute when he whined. S
he leaned in and kissed him on the lips. "Yes Inuyasha I do. Modern day medicine works a lot better than ones from the feudal era. Don't worry, me and Sango will be back before nightfall." With one last kiss she grabbed Sango and jumped in the well.
Inuyasha sighed. He hated it when Kagome went places without him. He loved her so much that he felt deficient without her by his side. Slowly he turned around, she'll be back soon so don't worry. Inuyasha walked back to the village to find his brother and Reiko.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sesshomaru was pulled to the ground, then being tackled by the child. Makoto sat on his chest and smiled. "I got you Uncle Sess! I told you I could get you down!" Chika, Shippou, Miroku, and Reiko were all laughing and trying to stay upright at the same time. Sesshomaru just laid there, a smile coming to his face. Suddenly his smiled turned mischievous and Makoto looked worried.
"Uh oh. . ." Sesshomaru's clawed hands made there way to Makoto, lightly brushing up and down his sides, eliciting laughter from the little boy. The boy squirmed and tried to get off but Sesshomaru had a good hold on him. Finally the boy shouted, "Okay okay you win!! YOU WIN!!!"
Sesshomaru chuckled and lifted Makoto off his chest. Reiko came over and sat next to them, wrapping her arms around Sesshomaru's torso. Inuyasha came into view and Makoto jumped up and ran to his father. He flung himself on Inuyasha's legs, almost making him fall over. "Daddy guess what! I took down Uncle Sesshomaru!" The little boy pointed his finger at the taller demon and was jumping up and down. Inuyasha looked at his brother who shrugged, telling him that he actually let him take him down.
Inuyasha chuckled, "Good job Mak. Maybe next time I'll get to see it."
Makoto chuckled and buried his face in his father's leg. "Daddy, since it's early can you take me for a ride on your back? Please?" He looked up at his father, his big amber eyes wide in anticipation.
How could Inuyasha say no to that? "Sure Mak, just go get changed and then we can go." Said Inuyasha. The little boy jumped up for joy and started to their house.
Sesshomaru watch the little boy run when he heard something. A bow being cocked and ready to fire. He heard the arrow being let go. "Makoto!" The boy turned to see Sesshomaru tackling him to the ground, an arrow whizzing over his head where Makoto just was. Sesshomaru got up, Makoto clinging to his chest and crying.
Inuyasha unsheathed the Tetsusiaga. "Who are you! Show yourself now!" Miroku held up his staff, pulling his daughter behind him. Reiko had run over to Sesshomaru, her hand glowing with her magic.
A single form emerged from the darkness of the trees. Everyone except Reiko and Sesshomaru gasped. It was Kikyo. "What's wrong Inuyasha? Aren't you happy to see me?" She smiled; it was a smile made for the dead.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha tensed up. Kikyo. Kikyo tried to kill his son. Several emotions ran through Inuyasha's body; hate, rage, anger, and confusion. Why in the world was Kikyo here? She knows that he chose Kagome over her. When the Shikon Jewel was complete and he killed Naraku, he finally saw that he loved Kagome more than Kikyo. Why has she come?
Kikyo shifted the bow, "Well, I'm waiting for an answer Inuyasha."
He shook his head. "What are you doing her Kikyo?! Why did you almost kill my son!? Answer me!"
Kikyo gave a dramatic sigh. "Well I guess you aren't to pleased to see me. You should be. .. my love."
"I am not yours anymore you hag! Now I will ask you again, why did you try to kill my son!" Inuyasha was now shaking with fury. He gripped his sword so tight his knuckles were turning white.
Kikyo only laughed, which was as cold as ice. "Oh my dear Inuyasha, I was only getting rid of that parasite for you. . ."
"MY SON IS NOT A PARASITE! YOU ARE, YOU DAMN BITCH!" Kikyo seemed taken aback by that outburst.
Reiko stood up. "How dare you say that to Inuyasha! Who the hell are you anyway?!"
Kikyo looked in her direction. "My name is Kikyo. The one who should really be his wife. Not that whore Kagome."
"YOU BITCH!!" Reiko was about to throw an energy ball when Kikyo held up the bow.
"I don't think so!" The gold symbols shimmered and flew off the bow, attaching themselves to Reiko's body. Reiko fell back, her body hitting the ground hard. She couldn't get up and couldn't call upon her magic.
"Auntie Re! Are you okay!?" Exclaimed Makoto.
Makoto ran over to her, flinging his hands on her shoulders, trying to lift her. "I can't move! What did you do to me you wench!"
Kikyo smiled, "Oh, well it just a spell to keep you from using your powers. Very effective really, I would have never guessed." Miroku took a step forward.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you monk." Kikyo cocked her bow again. "You wouldn't want your daughter to be caught in the crossfire now would you?"
Miroku spat on the ground. "You have no right to tell me what to do! Leave here this instant!" He took another step.
Kikyo let the arrow fly. "I warned you." But her arrow was pointed upwards. The arrow flew straight for a tree branch and, with her miko powers, severed the limb from the tree, knocking Miroku on the head and making him fall unconscious.
Chika screamed. "Daddy!" Miroku only moaned as his daughter shook him.
Inuyasha was now thoroughly pissed off. "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ALL ABOUT KIKYO! I DON'T WANT YOU ANYMORE! GO TO HELL WHERE YOU BELONG!"
Kikyo's contorted in anger. "And why don't you want me anymore! I was your love! You will only be mine! No one else will have you!"
"Sorry Kikyo but I am already someone's, and she isn't a thing of walking clay!"
Kikyo was so outraged that she screamed and shot another arrow at Inuyasha. It happened to fast he almost didn't have time to dodge. "If I can't have you then no one can!"
"Daddy!"
Kikyo looked to see Makoto running towards his father.
She smiled. "I'll get rid of your whole family as proof!" Her arrow flew, fast as a bullet.
Inuyasha shouted, "Makoto!" Makoto turned and his eyes widened. He tried dodging but the arrow grazed his stomach and shoulder. The little boy screamed and fell to the ground, his blood staining the grass.
Reiko shouted, "YOU BITCH! LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!"
Kikyo had her arrow ready. "Time to die you parasite." She aimed at Makoto's form.
"NO!" Inuyasha bolted, covering his son's body with his own.
"Daddy?" The boy said through sobs.
Inuyasha closed his eyes. "I love you Mak." Inuyasha heard the arrow being released, bracing himself.
Nothing happened. The arrow didn't penetrate his skin. Slowly he looked up to see that the arrow was ten feet away from Makoto and himself.
Inuyasha turned his head around to see Kikyo, her eyes wide open, the bow held loosely in her hand. Behind her was Sesshomaru, his face expressionless.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sesshomaru twisted the dagger in her back, making her moan and gasp at the same time. "Forget someone?" He said in a monotone voice. Kikyo's eyes widened even more, blood running down her lower lip.
She turned her head slowly and shuddered. "How. . . dare. . . you."
Anger now showed in his eyes. "How dare I? How dare you for attacking my nephew and brother!" Sesshomaru roughly pulled the dagger out of her back, grabbing her shoulder with his other hand. He squeezed, making her cringe in pain. "Leave my brother and his family alone. . ." He raised the dagger, the golden hilt catching the morning sun. "Now die!" Kikyo screamed. As quick as lightning the dagger came down, slicing Kikyo in the throat.
Kikyo stumbled out of his grasp, her hands over her throat. Blood flowed swiftly thru the open wound and her fingers, turning the grass red around her feet. She tried to speak but only gurgling sounds came from her throat. More blood fell from her lips. Kikyo fell to her knees, taking one last look at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha said nothing. His face was an expressionless mask. The only thing he did was nod his head. Kikyo's eyes rolled in the back of her head and collapsed, finally dead. Her body lay there in her own blood. Suddenly her body started to disintegrate. Where her body once was, now only bits of dry clay remained.
He hung his head. "Finally you can rest in peace Kikyo." He picked up his son and ran into the house.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sesshomaru walked over to Reiko, who was still on the ground. He knelt down next to her and was wondering how to get those symbols off of her. Then he noticed that they were fading. When the last one vanished Reiko sat up quickly and looked around.
"What happened?" Sesshomaru helped her up and said, "Kikyo is dead. Come, Makoto needs your assistance." Reiko nodded and went to the hut.
"Auntie Re! Daddy needs help!" Chika came running towards her, tears flowing down her face. Reiko picked her up and held her close.
Turning to Sesshomaru she said, "Could you?" Sesshomaru nodded, walked over to Miroku, and pulled the branch off oh him. Then he slung the monk's body over his shoulder, walking over to Reiko.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"That woman failed me!" Oteck screamed and kicked a tree, rubbing his foot afterwards. He sat on the ground, wondering where he went wrong. The plan was simple, send her in, kill Reiko's friends and then when she came back he would kill her.
Oteck seethed. It was that demon's entire fault! He had underestimated him. That 'Sesshomaru' was more cunning than he thought. He had seen him run into the forest, but Oteck he thought he was running like a coward. When he suddenly appeared behind Kikyo, Oteck was furious. Although he can see into the future he didn't predict this. His plans were turning on him.
The man in the village was almost perfect. All Oteck had to do was manipulate his mind with horrible visions of Reiko destroying the village then she would be his. But once again Sesshomaru ruined his plans.
He was such a pest that demon. He now knew that getting rid of him was essential. If he wanted to get Reiko back he had to kill Sesshomaru. The man jumped into the trees, thinking on how to proceed with his next plan.

Although he can see into the future he didn't predict this. His plans were turning on him.
The man in the village was almost perfect. All Oteck had to do was manipulate his mind with horrible visions of Reiko destroying the village then she would be his. But once again Sesshomaru ruined his plans.
He was such a pest that demon. He now knew that getting rid of him was essential. If he wanted to get Reiko back he had to kill Sesshomaru. The man jumped into the trees, thinking on how to proceed with his next plan.
