Even in Death

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Kirai=Hate

        He sat there on her grave just gazing with at the shrine with a longing in his eyes.  People had come and gone to see the lone hanyou that would not move the gravesite.  It had been a week since Kagome had died and he had not moved.  Sango and Miroku brought food to him so he could keep his health up.  He never even acknowledged the food or anybodies presence.  The villagers were starting to worry for the hanyou and began offering things to him.  They all left for their offerings were in vain.  The sun set on the eight night of Kagome's death and that's when he smelt it.

        "Kagome," he whispered.  He saw white orbs being released in the sky and he looked at Kagome's grave wondering what Kikyo could want.

        "Inuyasha, come to me," Kikyo's voice called.  He just sat there and stared off into the direction that she had come from.

        "Come to me Inuyasha.  Naraku is dead and the jewel is gone, why do you mourn my copy?"  Kikyo asked.  She walked over to him and laid a hand on his cheek to only see him flinch.

        "I mourn Kagome, not your copy," Inuyasha coldly replied.

        'Her hand is warm again and she no longer reeks of death.  She smells like …'

        "It is time to leave.  I have my soul back and I can now feel and walk amongst the living with you," Kikyo explained.  Inuyasha madly looked down and pushed her hand away from him.

        "How can I live with you when you remind of the person I love?"  Inuyasha questioned.

        "You loved me first and you owe me for my death!"  Kikyo growled out.

        "I owe you nothing.  What we had was nothing more then a way out of our troubles!"  Inuyasha growled at her.

        "You stupid half-breed!  You'd mourn her while you never mourned me!"  Kikyo yelled out.  Inuyasha just about snapped as he grabbed her by the wrist and stared her in the eyes.  She could se the rage and he could smell her fear.

        "All I see in you is Kagome soul's.  You don't even have a bit of what she was," he growled out.  "This is what I owe you."

        Kikyo gasped when she felt something enter her chest she backed away and fell to the ground shattering into dust.  Inuyasha wiped his hand off on a nearby tree and watched as a bright white orb disappeared into the sky.  Inuyasha turned around and was met with the smell of herbs, bones, and human flesh.  He narrowed his eyes when he saw a woman wearing all black loose clothing and read eyes standing next to Kagome's grave with her jar of ashes in hand.

        "Put that down!"  Inuyasha growled.

        "Why would I do that?"  She questioned.

        "Because I'll rip you limb from limb if you don't," Inuyasha threatened.

        "And what not get my own personal miko?"  She asked.

        "Who the hell are you?!"  Inuyasha yelled out.

        "Let's say I'm a necromancer that wants a special jewel," she explained. 

        Inuyasha growled and lounged at her only to have her flip over him and kick him in the back of the head.  She then held her hands in front of her and began chanting.  A black ball of energy was sent towards Inuyasha.  He tried to dodge but it was to big and he was instantly knocked unconscious.  The woman laughed and disappeared into a cloud of black smoke.  Sango stepped out of the hut and saw Inuyasha lying on the ground next to a desecrated grave. 

        "MIROKU!"  Sango yelled out.  Miroku ran out of the hut and walked over to the gravesite and checked Inuyasha for a pulse.  Sango had Kirara transform so Miroku could put Inuyasha on her back.  The laid him on a cot in the far corner of the hut and went back out to the grave.

        "What happened here?"  Sango asked.

        "I sense an evil aurora, and it is human," Miroku stated as he studied the area.

        "Why do you think the person robed the grave?"  Sango asked.

        "To probably do the same as that witch did to my sister," Kaede furiously said.

        "The jewel is gone, so what could they need Kagome for?"  Sango asked.

        "Kagome was at her prime and her miko powers will still evolving," Kaede explained.

        "I think it is best that we sleep for now," Miroku said.  They group went back to the hut and soon fell asleep not knowing what awaited them.

**********************************************************************************************

        The necromancer had begun her spell and chanting as she filled what would be Kagome's new body.  She smiled as she poured the ashes into the mix allowing the features to begin to mold and take color.

        "The difference between my sister and I is that I actually can give the dead a body with flesh and blood that is warm."  She walked over to a large black jar and let her pale hand slide into the jar and grabbed smoothing that was wet and sticky.

        She stared at the piece that she pulled out of the jar and whispered; "Human flesh soaked in youkai blood for a year is the main key."  She tossed the flesh in the mold causing the cave to glow a bright white.  The body took a solid shape and a hard black crust grew over it.

        "Time is all that I need now," the witch laughed.  The witch heard light footsteps approaching her and she turned around to see a little white girl.

        "Do you have my item, Kanna?"  The woman asked.

        "Yes, Kirai.  Do you have what I want?"  Kanna plainly asked.  Kirai reached behind her and pulled out a bottle with black and purple mist in it.

        "Here is Naraku's soul," Kirai replied handing the bottle to Kanna.

        "He can not be allowed to be reborn," Kanna murmured to herself.  Kanna then reached inside of her mirror and pulled out a pale blue teardrop gem. 

        "This is guaranteed to control the Miko's mind?"  Kirai asked.

        "Yes, just place it on her forehead and saw her name.  The gem will come off when she dies," Kanna plainly said.

        Kanna walked back out the cave leaving the miko to her fate.  Kanna had got her master's soul and she planned to destroy it some how.  She caused her mirror to glow and placed the bottle into it, where it would never be reborn again.  Kirai stared at the teardrop gem and shrugged.  She walked over to the body cast and placed the gem where Kagome's forehead would be.  When the body was done the cast would break and she would say the name that forever make her a servant.
