*Hello! It's another chapter! Don't you just love it? Anyways, the next chapters to come are going to be a little piecy, and you may get a little confused. The story is going to constantly shift from place to place! Anyways, I hope you enjoy them!*

Disclaimer: I don't own Inu and co. but if I dream hard enough maybe I'll start believing I do. Then I would be majorly schizophrenic!

Chapter 29

Inuyasha sighed and stepped away from the well...noticing from the scent in the air that someone had just arrived and was behind him.

Upon turning around, he found Kikyo standing there, a look of pain on her face as he soul stealing dragon's danced around her gracefully.

"So you love her eh? Not me?" she whispered sadly...stepping back.

Inuyasha glared at her and replied in his own soft voice: "Yes...I love her now. You no longer remain on my mind."

Kikyo frowned deeply and stepped away, seeming to beckon Inuyasha after her.

"Come Inuyasha...kill me then...so that you may remain with your little miko!"

"Surely Kikyo. If that's what you want and if that will give you a free sense of mind." Inuyasha replied, following the miko off into the woods.

He could smell the scent of his enemy over all of the masterful perfume they had used. Although the scent was weak through the flowery one, he could tell this was a trick.

He'd been fooled too many times to allow this fake Kikyo to trick him into loving her, and he figured that a large battle would commence when it had stopped and chosen a place to attack. Inuyasha also kept a good eye on his surroundings, just in case it was planning an ambush.

There was only one reason why he was allowing it to try to fool them as they left, and that was that he didn't want it to destroy the well so that he could never see Kagome again. That and should the imposter accidentally fall in and find Kagome on the other side, then his miko would be in trouble. He wanted to keep Kagome as safe as possible, even if she found her way back.

What he didn't know, was that as he followed the fake Kikyo, a group of Naraku's wasp like insects crept in and filled the well up, to ensure she would be poisoned should she try to return through her gate.

Kikyo had informed Naraku and Mikoto that that was Kagome's traveling portal, and that to prevent her from coming, would allow all of them to get what they wanted with out nuisances.

Meanwhile, a sweating wolf-demon was running joyously through the woods, ready to meet his beloved miko when he got to Kaede's village. He had been gone quite a while, and had checked on his pack quite thoroughly. They were all fine of course, and after a little investigating of his grounds, left to return to his love.

He knew that Kagome didn't want him...and that she had no care for him whatsoever...but he planned on changing that. He planned on making her love him, no matter what, so that he had his shard detector and his wife.

Then, as he ran, he began to think of what kind of puppies she would make, and how she would prepare the meat he hunted down, and how she would look in one of their fur loin clothes.

Kouga smiled at the thought of Kagome wearing a skimpy little fur clothe of a skirt...something a little shorter than that strange little green one she wore. Yeah...that would be interesting.

The only reason he knew Kagome and that stupid mutt would be at Kaede's, because he couldn't find them in the other location, and their scent was strong.

Of course, he had lost them a while back, considering their scent just vanished into thin air, but he figured they would be at the village.

Upon whim, he hoped that they were at the village, and not kidnapped by some other powerfully blooded demon that seemed to always know where to find them.

How would Kagome react upon finding him just showing up at the village, with a large grin on his face and maybe a bouquet of daisies or cherry blossoms or something.

He hoped she would be happy and greet him warmly, but he doubted it.

That stupid mutt would get in the way and another fight would occur. Hopefully, Kagome might let him kill the mutt and be done with it, and then be his mate for life.

Yeah right! Kouga thought. Those two are so into each other, I truly doubt she'll even so much as pay me any attention. That and the prayer beads were still on his neck, and he really did not like being Downed.

It sucked!

Now he knew how Inuyasha felt when she Sat him.

He just wished that she hadn't given him this set of prayer beads.

Kouga was so caught up in thought, he didn't even notice that the wind had picked up and that a lone figure was standing in his way.

She had already shrunken her flight and stuck it back in her pinned black hair, and her kimono was the same multiple bits that she always liked to overlap together as she always did.

Kagura brought her fan out with a smirk, and waited for the wolf to come into distance, so that she might slice his head off.

Unfortunately for her, the wolf didn't even notice she was standing there.

It took a strong gust from a swish of her delicate fan to knock him over, in order for him to realize that he was not alone in this area of the forest.

"Kagura! What the Hell are you doing here!?" Kouga shouted from the ground, jumping back up angrily.

"I came to talk to you Kouga." She replied, sneering.

"About what?" He asked, watching her closely. Kouga began to sniff around vigorously from his prepared stance to ensure she was the only one he had to fight.

"About your death." She replied with a cold voice, before taking a sharp swipe with her fan. It caused a dangerous shred of wind, that would have cut off Kouga's feet had he not jumped in time.

"Then bring it on. I'll kill you, and then I'll kill your boss Naraku!" Shouted Kouga.

The wolf demon, and Naraku's minion began a fight...to the death.

During Inuyasha and Kikyo's meeting, and Kouga's and Kagura's battle, Kaede's village received word of another village nearby being attacked by demons.

Naturally, Sango could not leave them to fight alone, and she, Miroku, and Kirara all left off to fight the demons. When they arrived there, they found an army of lower life demons with life-less bodies stuck sickly to their claws, and blood on their shells and fur. Leading them, where four young Dragons, which only lead to the belief, that Mikoto had sent them.

The small group had had quite a fight, and once the various other demons had been slain and diced, the dragons attacked them. Sango and the others, had no choice but to fight.

There really isn't too much to explain for this area, considering the four dragons they were fighting did not talk or mock them, they just fought, and were apparently the weakest of their people.

But they were a known group to their people, calling themselves the dragons of element. Each had one of the four elements of life. Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth.

And they fought ferociously.

Sango had had to take on the Wind and Fire, while Miroku fought the Earth one and Kirara fought with the Water, making sure to keep her fiery claws and tail out of way of being put out by the wet attacks thrown.

Their battle continued for a while.

Likewise, to the many battles beginning over this small area of Feudal Japan, Shippo, lonely as he walked to the well in search for his foster mother Kagome, also met his own battle.

She was in the form of Naraku's other minion Kanna, whom by this time was sent to stand before the well just in case Kagome should come out and happen to destroy the bees covering her portal.

Shippo, believing himself as strong as everyone else around him, began his own battle with the tiny girl: he using fox fire, and she using her mirror to try and collect his soul. As they fought, they managed to wander away from the well, and from any help that could possibly be brought to them.

Shippo by now had watched many battles that Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku had conducted, and had picked up on many of their techniques, deciding to use them now in this fight.

Kanna of course, was no simple opponent, and proved quite dangerous when pushed to the test.

The young one's battle continued from there for a while.

Kojika, wandering around the forest on the feeling that some one she knew was nearby, left the village in pursuit of it.

She hadn't found much, except for a good clean day and a sweet little stream a good distance from the village.

Then, while she was getting a drink, a total of five young dragons, some of the best of the Draymon warriors, attacked her, trying to shoot her with an array of arrows and weapons. She was left to fight with them, all the while sensing that Mikoto was watching her, and that he was waiting for an opportunity to kill her. She also suspected that he and Naraku were working together upon the observation that everyone was strangely missing. Kojika was no idiot, and she knew that Naraku's way's involved playing unfairly.

Naraku and Mikoto's reasoning for these many set up battles was thus: don't let the warriors fight together. Naraku had so many enemies, they would, no doubt gang up on him and kill him quite easily. Separate them by giving them each a difficult opponent, then kill them off one by one. Mikoto had been the one to send the four dragon demons to the nearby village to lead the demon exterminator, her pet, and the lecherous monk away from the village.

Kagome by this time, would be down the well, because by no doubt, Inuyasha would try to keep her safe. Bees would keep her hidden, and, just in case she managed to thwart the bees, Kanna would be there to steal her soul and what ever shards of Shikon she would have.

If Kanna did not succeed, the real Kikyo would be waiting a little off in the forest, watching the well at the same time.

Naraku, dressed up as Kikyo, would lead Inuyasha away to kill him by using what made the hanyou emotional against him.

Kouga, as they figured was already on his way, would have Kagura to fight.

The reason these two were matched to battle against each other, was because Kouga used wind as his main attack, and Kagura controlled the wind as her servant.

It would be a difficult battle, in which both of them would most likely be killed.

A thing that Naraku wanted, for he became greatly annoyed by the wind witches state of mind, and the fact that she constantly searched for a way to kill him.

Then, Kojika, would be put against five other Draymon's such as herself, and Mikoto would meet her should she survive the encounter.

Naraku and Mikoto would kill them off, but what Mikoto did not know, was that the huge bulge of jewel given to him was fake, and that Naraku held the real one. In fact, the face ball of shikon was a poison, similar to the one given to Kouga when his comrades had been slaughtered by Kagura. Should he choose to use it in a time where he was loosing, it would attach itself under his skin and poison him, killing him slowly.

Naraku did not plan on letting Mikoto keep the jewel! He was going to kill off that cocky Elderly Demon and get the jewel for himself.

But of course, what Naraku suspected, and what was truly happening, was that Mikoto suspected the jewel was a fake, and planned on killing Naraku to prevent another powerful being like Kojika from coming into existence.

Naraku had not even a tenth of the power the Elder possessed, and he wasn't about to let him get anymore than he already had.

Both allies had different ways planned to kill the other...they just had no idea when they would be able to put their fantasies into reality.

*So how was it? Please people! I need reviews! Tell me what you think so I can stop wondering! I'm sad I know.*
