Kagome's Wish
Chapter Thirteen-Love Should Never Be This Complicated...
By: inuyashasgirl789
Kagome slowly regained her senses and grudgingly rubbed at her eyes, wondering why her senses were all so dampened and her mind seeming to not properly function. She blinked her eyes a few times and then looked around the room, but only met the sight of cold darkness.
She suddenly began to feel scared as she slowly recalled what had happened, her eyes widening as she remembered being practically drugged to unconsciousness. How long had she been unconscious? What the hell was happening? Where was she? What was this place!?
Her mind reeled with thoughts and questions as she crumpled to the ground, looking utterly hopeless. She didn't know where she was, so not moving around was much safer. Who knows what might be lurking in those dark corners.
She sighed defeatedly before a cold smooth voice suddenly droned out from seemingly nowhere.
"So you're awake..."
*~*~*
Inuyasha was currently in some mint shop buying tic tacs and grumbling when two teens came tumbling head over heels into the shop. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and looked at the intertwined hands of Sango and Miroku.
'Ah so those two FINALLY get together.'
Inuyasha half expected Kagome to be behind them, pointing at Sango and Miroku holding hands and laughing her head off, but the girl was nowhere to be seen. He was half worried yet more relieved. He didn't want to see her after she had said she didn't like him, even if she didn't know he had heard.
He popped some of the tic tacs into his mouth and continued observing Sango and Miroku wheezing and panting on the ground, still holding hands. He scratched his head, a bit annoyed that they were just there like that.
"In...u...ya...sha..." Miroku panted, sounding out every syllable, and the mentioned raised an eyebrow.
"What is it?" Inuyasha asked, feeling a bit irritated that they were taking so long to say something.
"Did you see Kagome?" Sango questioned, finally composing herself from running around the mall in search of Inuyasha and Kagome.
"No I didn't see that girl. Got lost, eh?" he said and shrugged as he popped more tic tacs into his mouth. "I can practically see her getting lost."
"Its not like that," Miroku retorted, waving his free hand furiously in front of him, half his mind on the matter at hand and the other on that delicious looking sprite in the shop.
"What's not like that?" Inuyasha asked, clearly confused now.
Sango looked up at him with infuriated eyes. "God dangit. We're saying, we were around the mall and she just seemed to disappear while we were occupied!"
"So she got lost. Whats the big deal?" Inuyasha inquired, a big fat '?' appearing above his head.
"ARGH! We're saying! I was asking Sango out, we were NOT WALKING, Kagome was on the ground laughing and then after Sango dear here answered yes to me, (oh the joy!) then Kagome was missing!" Miroku rambled out, swiping the air with his hand in frustration as he tried to get his point across to Inuyasha.
"SO! She got LOST," Inuyasha repeated, exasperated that these two people seemed to be just repeating the same thing over and over again.
Miroku and Sango both growled in aggravation and ran around in circles, their heads hurting. Inuyasha was such a dumb nut!
"She didn't get LOST, Inuyasha. Can YOU get LOST while you're IDLE on the ground, laughing your little head off!?" Sango screamed, her mind almost blowing up from the force of impact.
"Sure I can"
"...How then?"
"I get sucked up by a gigantic vortex, spiraling down to hell where little demons with pitch forks get ready to barbeque me!"
"This isn't a JOKE, Inuyasha!" Sango yelled and bought down a mallet upon the guy's head, hoping it knocked out whatever had been loose in there.
Inuyasha rubbed the offending bump on his head and scowled up at Kagome's best friend. Violent people these days...they were all getting more aggressive. (He's one to say that. xD) "Okay okay! If she didn't get LOST, then what did she get? Eh smartie smartie?"
"THINK INU! THINK!" Sango screamed so loud, Inuyasha's hair blew backwards from the force.
"But I don't like THINKING!" Inuyasha whined, but went almost timid from the viciously dangerous glare from Sango. "I'm thinking! I'm thinking!" he murmured quickly and began to think hard for once.
After a few minutes of strained silence, Inuyasha looked back up seriously at Sango and Miroku, who seemed to be agreeing with Sango from behind her back. Oh that guy would pay for double crossing him...but then, Sango was scary.
"Welll~~!?" Sango asked, tapping her foot on the tiles impatiently.
"She got abducted by tiny green aliens?"
*BAM!!!*
Sango had had enough of Inuyasha's stupid sarcasm and lame jokes. She took away her frying pan, its shape implanted on Inuyasha's head as the guy yelped in pain. Growling low in her throat, she swiped the air and began to stomp around. "SHE DIDN'T GET ABDUCTED BY ALIENS YA IDIOT. SHE GOT KIDNAPPED BY SOMEONE! AND SOMEONE REFERS TO NARAKU MOST CERTAINLY!"
Inuyasha's mouth went into a little "o" as the new information registered in his head. He blinked and then looked at Sango, totally serious. "You sure?"
Sango looked ready to bloody murder him as Miroku held her back from kicking his ass. "What did you think idiot?!"
"Well I did believe that she got abduc---"
"Inuyasha...?" a voice suddenly intervened.
All three teens freaked when a little girl with hair as white as Inuyasha's appeared in the middle of the "battlefield." She had a mirror hung on a gold string tied around her neck and wore completely white clothes. Her skin was as pale as her clothes virtually and the only thing that told anyone that she wasn't a ghost was that she wasn't levitating from the ground like an apparition.
"W-What!?" the boy stuttered, momentarily stunned from the sudden appearance of this little girl.
"Letter for you..." she whispered and handed him an envelope before making her exit, practically gliding out the door.
"SPOOKY!" Sango shrieked when the girl disappeared around the corner. "Did you see her glide out this shop? EEK! She was as pale as a ghost too! Was there even a reflection of her in that weird old mirror of hers?!" She hung onto Miroku for all she was worth as little tears hung on the edge of her eyes.
Miroku looked about ready to go to heaven.
"Letter?" Inuyasha repeated the word he had just heard and looked down at the envelope in his lap.
He hurriedly ripped open the letter and stared at its content, scanning the letter over. The result was a jaw drop to the ground.
*~*~*
Kagome twirled her head around to scan over her surroundings, her ears alert for any more voices and her eyes searching for a form of ANYBODY. Her eyes landed on two bright golden eyes in the corner of the room and she shrieked like a baby.
"FLOATING GOLDEN EYES!" she screamed and scrambled far away from the "levitating eyes" as possible. Her back hit the wall and she started crying when the eyeballs "bounced" it's way over to her.
"Shut up you," a voice with cold venom snarled and Kagome peeked an eye open, staring out at the eyeballs in front of her. That was when she noticed that the eyeballs were actually attached to eyesockets and those eyesockets were attached to a face.
She sighed a breath of relief and then looked up at the person towering high over her. He, as she could tell it was a guy, held himself with divine grace and elegance, very much like a tiger actually...
"Who are you?" she timidly asked, getting up yet STILL he towered over her, looking down at her with those bitter amber eyes.
"That's none of your business, wench."
"You sound just like Inuyasha..."
"I'm not my little brother..."
"Inuyasha has a brother...?"
"We haven't seen each other in years, so can you quit it? Just shut it."
"But why haven't you both seen each other in years!?"
The guy looked annoyed yet showed not much emotion as he walked back over to the other corner of the so called room, ignoring Kagome's question.
Kagome glanced over at the new guy now sitting GRACEFULLY across from the room. Her eyes had been adjusting to the darkness now and she could make out little details about the person. He had that GRACEFUL form of his and he was tall, a good head or so taller than her, his hair was stark white like Inuyasha's and so were his eyes. Yet his eyes held an icy look while Inuyasha's held more warmth. The man looked to be about 21 or so, two tattoo streaks on both of his cheeks and Kagome could make out some kind of symbol or whatsoever on his forehead. All in all, he looked like one of those cold GRACEFUL business men who cheated and were rich.
Then the question that she had been wondering about for a while finally popped back into her mind and she looked at the new guy again, opening her mouth and asking, "Why am I here?"
*~*~*
Sango and Miroku watched Inuyasha curiously as he let go of the letter, letting it flutter down to the ground. They both tried reading the small print of the letter but couldn't from the distance they were from it. Sango walked over and picked up the letter, scanning it over quickly.
When she finished reading, she gasped quietly and looked at Miroku with wide eyes. Miroku gave his girlfriend a weird look and noticed that she was just about as pale as Inuyasha, who by the way, was staring off into space with a blank look in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Miroku asked, very curious now that the letter had caused both Sango and even Inuyasha to turn pale and quiet.
Sango held out the letter to him and Miroku lightly took it, reading the contents out loud.
'You are probably wondering where Kagome is. Well I, Naraku has kidnapped her but of course, I wasn't the one to do the dirty work. Do you know who was the kidnapper Inuyasha? Why it was your own brother, Sesshoumaru. And you should check out your little friend, the one girl named Kikyou. You'll be surprised to find her gone as well. Meet at Koibitos Yakusoku Bridge tonight at midnight and let's see if history will report itself...ne? You can only choose one. -Naraku-'
Miroku started twitching when he finished reading the letter, and found that he had scattered his thoughts for a while there and couldn't talk.
"What history?" Sango squeaked out as she gently rubbed at her head.
Miroku gently slapped himself and looked at Sango, trying to remember where he had heard about the history of Koibitos Yakusoku bridge. His eyes lighted up as he snapped his finger. "I saw an article at the library once about a week ago! It was dated back to five years ago and I had caught sight of the words, 'Koibitos Yakusoku bridge' and 'death'."
"Death?" Inuyasha finally asked when he had gotten over his shock. Now he was staring at Miroku with intense, golden orbs. "What death?!"
"I derno!" Miroku said in defense, as he watched Inuyasha's eyes glint with deadly menace.
"Then let's get to the frikkin' library!" Inuyasha growled out, springing up from the ground and grabbing hold of Sango and Miroku, dragging them out of the store while ignoring the extremely curious looks the store employees were giving them.
"But what I want to know..." Inuyasha mused in his head. "Is why Sesshoumaru kidnapped her...and when did that idiot come back..."
*~*~*
In a dark, barely lit room, two figures could be seen sitting in chairs around a flaring fireplace. If one looked closer, they would see one of them had the figure of a female and the other, a male. The sparks from the fire jumped out and licked at the carpet's edge while the silence pursued.
Finally the male's voice spoke up. "You sure this would work. Last time you tried one of your schemes, it only served to get them closer together...Kikyou."
Kikyou could be seen smirking with a glint of evilness in her eyes. "Of course it would work, Naraku. I am his childhood friend after all and he had only known her for how long?"
"His lifetime actually. He's hated her long before you came into the picture"
"I'm talking about how long they've been on the good side of each other."
Naraku wanted to roll his eyes but knew he would get injured thanks to Kikyou, so he just kept on a plain face. "One week or so I'm guessing."
"Exactly," Kikyou said while throwing a piece of old yellow paper into the fire, watching it burn and reduce to nothing but ash. "One week. And me? Few years. There's a big difference and I'll be damned if he chooses her over me."
"And what if he does choose her?"
"He won't, Naraku," Kikyou growled, sounding so sure of herself. "He won't..."
Naraku didn't answer his cousin as he wondered how far his cousin would take this. He liked power, he had power, but he didn't want to get involved with the police in any way. If he got caught, he couldn't tell them it was Kikyou because his files were all filled with bad crimes while Kikyou's were as clean as a shining star.
"But if he does choose her..."
Naraku heard Kikyou whisper in a low menacing voice.
"Then I'd have to get rid of her...once and for all."
