"Lovely"
Chapter Two--Discovery
-..."Kikyo...,"InuYasha breathed as he watched the slim figure of the clay miko walk through the doorway, her hair a straight black void running down her back as a smirk crossed her face. "InuYasha, my love, it's so nice to see you" The miko said in an inky voice, kneeling down in front of the Inu-youkai who was at the moment too stunned to do anything but stare in shock at what was before him. But finally, after what seemed like centuries that were only seconds, he found his voice, answering back as he stared into the chocolate brown depths of his once former mate to be,"K- Kikyo...what are you doing here?" Again, the evil look came back to her face and she set a finger on his chin, tapping it lightly," Did you not hear my calls? You know why I'm here, give me the shards of the shattered Shikon no Tama, they are mine..." Her voice seeped through his ears and into his mind, casting an enchanting spell upon him as the miko's eyes seemed to glow faintly, calling for him to do her bidding.
"INUYASHA!" The distant voice of Kagome cut through Kikyo's mind control like a knife through butter, pulling him out of his trance, leaving him dazed and confused as to what just happened. Infuriated, Kikyo rose before he could realize what was going on enough to stop her as she walked toward the girl, her eyes showing dangerously in the dark as her soul stealers appeared, giving off an eerie glow which made her seem even scarier then she already was. Grasping both of Kagome's wrists, she wrenched away the bow before the now seemingly helpless girl could react and sent her crashed into the corner behind, a cry of pain rising from Kagome's throat as her shoulders made contact with the walls, her consciousness fading.
It was that sound that finally snapped InuYasha back into reality as he jumped to his feet, the Tetsusaiga held high above his head to bring it down on the miko. But before it could make contact, Kikyo rose a spread hand and sent a wave of hate, which was now the only thing keeping her alive, hurling towards him, catching him in the gut, causing him to double over and gag, the feeling spreading over him almost too much to bear as he felt his demon side stir within, begging to be let out. 'No, I mustn't, it might hurt Kagome,' He thought, forcing the demon back into it's slumber as he stood straight in time to see Kikyo holding the unconscious Kagome, her lips moving close to her ear, whispering something to faint for even his sensitive ears to catch. Her eyes shifting slowly to the side as she noticed InuYasha's recovery and a grin formed on her lips before she pressed them against Kagome's ear in a sealing kiss.
What happened next he would remember the rest of his nearly immortal life, for after Kikyo's lips had lifted from Kagome's skin, a blood curdling scream came from her own lips, filling the small hut with her pain filled voice as well as a soft blue glow as her aura spread in the air around them like wet paint. Echoing her scream, InuYasha covered his ears in an attempt to mute the sound coming from Kagome's throat, a sound that wrenched at his heart and made him want to fall on his knees and cry like a big baby, only wishing for it to stop. And finally, abruptly, it stopped altogether, the screams stopped, the feeling stopped, and her aura thinned out and disappeared along with the presence of Kikyo, leaving the blank- eyed form of Kagome who huddled in the corner like some beaten dog, tears streaming down her cheeks from eyes that saw nothing with a mind that could not escape its new imprisonment.
Rushing to her, InuYasha knelt beside her and shook her gruffly, worry rising as a lump in his throat as called to her softly at first, his voice becoming steadily louder and more urgent with each time he said her name before he finally gave up on that, his head falling forward as he cradled the oblivious girl close to him, his shoulders heaving slightly but no tears fell from his eyes as he thought desperately to find a way to bring her back from her trance. But it was then that he heard the rustling of many feet behind him and his head rose slowly as he glanced back, a growl rising in his throat as he released Kagome and stood, the Tetsusaiga in his grasp once more to meet the dark foes that had posed a threat to him earlier...-
'Gods, Kagome, please wake up.' He thought toward the once more unconscious form in his arms as he slumped back into a nook of the tree he had found refuge at. He wondered what he was going to do and how might he wake her as he set her gently beside him, taking his sword once more in his grasp to keep watch. "Well, there's nothing I can do for now...," He said aloud, more to comfort himself then to confirm the thoughts running through his head. And with that he fell into a light doze, his ears always listening for anything approaching.
He awoke the next morning, a cramp forming in his lower back from sitting up all night and the sun blaring into his eyes as it came down through the tree branches, birds already singing its arriving soul as he sat up straight and glanced around, a feeling of something not quite right settling over him as he gazed at his surroundings. Then, with panic rising from his stomach he stared at the flattened place in the grass where he had set Kagome the night before, the place that now was empty.
