The Threat
'I control you now...' A chilling, malicious voice whispered inside Kagome's head, sending shivers up and down her spine while she stood there transfixed, watching Inuyasha attempt to hit the shard infested demon.
'Who are you?' She shouted in her mind, the pain in her back making her wince...if she could move, 'What do you mean you control me?!?'
Dark laughter filled her head after this comment, and panic flared inside her when the voice replied, 'You shall find out who I am soon enough... but let me show you what I mean for now.'
Kagome seemed to float away from her body, up into the sky where she could see the whole layout of the area... even herself standing there with Shippo in her arms, watching Inuyasha with darkening eyes.
'That... that's me.' She thought, staring down at herself, but the cold laughter filled her head once again, seeming to come from nowhere and everywhere.
'What's going on?!?' The cry echoed through her head, like a never-ending verse, and the malicious voice spoke up once again, 'Let the fun begin...'
Lost in confusion, Kagome dazedly realized it looked like it was going to rain, the dark clouds swirling above them, the wind picking up...
"Inuyasha, watch it!" Sango shouted from the sidelines, her shout breaking Kagome out of her reverie and she glanced down from her position in the sky to where Inuyasha was dodging the demon, a furious look on his face, hands sweaty and hair a mess.
"Sit!" The shout sent the dog demon to the ground with a cry of shock, having come from the Kagome on the ground holding Shippo.
'I... I didn't do that...' the real Kagome thought to herself, watching in horror as the demon jumped high into the air, coming down with a crunch on Inuyasha's vulnerable back.
His scream filled the air, ringing in Kagome's ears long after it ended, and the voice returned, chuckling with glee, 'I can make you do anything I wish...'
"Sit! Sit! Sit!" The Kagome impersonator shouted, sending Inuyasha deeper into the ground, muffled obscenities filling the air, along with the cackling of the demon, and a shout from Miroku, "Lady Kagome, what are you doing?"
'Stop it! Stop it now!' Kagome shouted to the voice as Inuyasha forced himself to his feet, giving Kagome a confused glance before turning and defending himself from the cackling demon.
'It had seemed impossible to beat him with you around...' The voice announced, lowering to a soft whisper, and the Kagome below gave an evil grin before shouting, "SIT!"
Another thud from Inuyasha, causing Kagome's heart to squeeze painfully as the voice continued on, 'But now I know how. With you two working as a team, defeating you was impossible... but now I have control of you... thus having control of him.
"Sit, sit, sit!" The shout echoed around the forest just after Inuyasha regained his feet, and he went down once again, he's cry of outrage quickly following the command.
'Oh no, oh no, oh no...' Kagome moaned, wanting to stop herself but not knowing how, and the voice continued, 'It will be almost too easy to destroy him now... thanks to you Kagome.'
"What's the matter with you wench?" Slowly getting to his feet, Inuyasha looked beyond angry, but confusion was also there, making him resemble a little boy.
'Oh, I don't want to hurt Inuyasha! No, no, no, no, no, NO!' Kagome screamed inside her head, but those weren't the words that came from her lips, instead they were an evil sounding laugh and, "Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, SIT!"
Slamming down continuously into the ground with sickening cracks, Inuyasha was once again at the mercy of the demon that used his body as a punching bag, cackling with glee the whole time.
"Ka-Kagome! Why are you hurting... Inu-Inuyasha?" A crying Shippo shouted, huddled in her arms with tears rolling down his cheeks, and Kagome turned her attention from him, glancing down at Sango and Miroku hearing them shout their own confusion at her.
'No! I will not allow you to do as you wish...' Kagome shouted to the voice, floating back to her body, the pain in her back unbearable, and a scream was torn from her lips, echoing through the forest.
'You shall not win so easily Kagome...' The voice whispered, the pain throughout her body intensifying, and she felt her control of her body returning, though the malicious voice did not disappear without a threat, 'You won't be able to deny me next time...'

"The main goal is to get my reincarnation's power... and that shall prove to be the most difficult part." Kikyo whispered, turning from the battle scene, a scream filling the air, and Naraku turned his black eyes to the miko, whispering, "She has broken my control."
"Yes, we knew she would be able to that easily. Such a selfless girl... the only time she uses her power is when those she cares for are threatened."
"How shall we get this power....... I mean, what is her power?"
Looking up at Naraku with shining eyes, Kikyo grinned, an evil, chilling one, whispering, "Her power is her spirit..."
"Her spirit? Why did you tell me to control her then? Why not just take her and get the power?"
"Taking her would have done no good... she is protected."
"Protected? How could her spirit be protected?"
"Inuyasha." Kikyo spit the name out as if it tasted bad, her eyes bleak and dead, leaving Naraku to turn from her, staring at the cloudy sky above, and she continued, her tone bitter, "The protection comes from her connection with Inuyasha."
"How do we rid of this protection? Destroy Inuyasha... thus destroying the connection?"
"No, that would only increase her power... we can't break the connection by force or death. She must do it willingly, and how we make her do that is by making her the source of his pain."
"That is why you had me control her..."
"Yes, that bitch shall now break the connection thinking she is saving her precious hanyou from herself, not knowing she is sealing her fate. Her spirit shall then be vulnerable... and all you must do is break her spirit in order to get to her power."
Wrapping her arms around Naraku's neck, she laughed softly, staring into his black eyes, and he whispered, "How utterly wicked..."
"Yes, thanks to you love..." She replied, brushing her lips against his, quickly pulling from his embrace, "I must go... unfinished business..."
