Disclaimer: I Don't Own Inuyasha, however I DO own my OOC character who is the mysterious evil person working with Kagura.
(A/N: Okay! I'm sorry that I waited like a whole month before adding chapter 2. Writer's block is th only valid excuse I can come up with now. Headache.)
Chapter Two
" I think it is time to put the plan into action. " A female voice submitted into the darkness.
" Do not worry, Kagura. We will see to the plan in due time. " Kagura shook with eagerness. She was completely absorbed in the figure who stood in front of her with growing admiration. " Since I barely escaped the wrath of Inuyasha's Kazu No Kizu, I have been searching for someone of your caliber who can destroy him for good. "
" Never fear, for I have been searching for the whereabouts of this, Inuyasha. A human, is he not? "
" Inuyasha is a hanyou. A half-breed! " Kagura replied vehemently.
" The messenger who told me of this information said that Inuyasha was a human who lived in a village with a powerful priestess. " Kagura shook her head in confusion.
" I will get to the bottom of this. However, Inuyasha will pay regardless! "
" So, Inuyasha how is life as a pathetic human whelp suiting you? " Kagome said merrily as Inuyasha and the others ate dinner.
" Terrible. My back hurts from working, and my feet hurt from walking. " Everyone laughed heartily as they once again enjoyed Kagome's cooking. ' It is just like old times, I feel like we are a year younger, searching for the shards of the Shikon No Tama once again. ' After a welcome from Miroku and Sango, a hello from Kohaku, and a deafening hug from Shippo, Kagome had settled down in the hut and pulled gifts for everyone out of her magical yellow backpack.
" Kagome-sama, how have things been going for you in the future? " Miroku asked, with the hand that once held his dreaded kazaana on the swelling stomach of Sango.
" Great! " she replied. Inuyasha looked at Kagome. He stared intensely at her face, captivated by her beauty. Every time she talked, he listened.
" I see that education in the future is very important. " A voice at the door whispered.
" Hi, Kikyo. Want to join us? " Kagome asked Kikyo curiously. Even though Kagome's welcome was warm, Kikyo stayed at the door, forlorn and seemingly angry. Inuyasha began to feel wary, keeping his guard up for anything suspicious.
" No, I am here to tell Inuyasha that I cooked for him, but I see that he already ate. " She replied tartly, her eyes directly on Kagome. The hut fell silent, and all smiles dropped. Inuyasha knew it was the calm before the storm.
" Sorry Kikyo. I didn't know. "
" Do you know what you should know? You should know that you wasted your time. Inuyasha knows the difference between the real thing and a pathetic imitation. " Kikyo said icily and left the hut. Inuyasha's mouth dropped. ' Why would Kikyo even DARE say something like that? '
Inuyasha stood up and walked to the doorway of the hut. " I... I'll be back. I'm sorry Kagome. " He swiftly exited the hut. But not before noticing Kagome face. It made him want to commit suicide.
" KIKYO! Dammit come back here! " Inuyasha yelled, sprinting toward the figure walking swiftly toward their hut.
" I don't want to hear it Inuyasha. " She said, and turned around sharply. " I don't want you to be near Kagome again. I see the way that you look at her, the times that you say your working but instead dreaming about her. You are still in love with her, Inuyasha! I am determined to make it end! " Inuyasha couldn't believe what he was hearing. ' Kikyo's growing jealousy of Kagome has turned to rage. '
" Kikyo, Kagome and I spent three years together searching for the shards of the Shikon No Tama. That's three more years than you that Kagome and I spent understanding each other. " Inuyasha couldn't stop the words as they came out of his mouth. " If you weren't such a damned old lady like your sister Kaede, I wouldn't have dreams about Kagome. Face it Kikyo, you're just the same as you were when you were dead. " Inuyasha felt so built up from the anger he tried to hold every time Kikyo tested him. He looked into her eyes, they had the same amount of hatred as that one fateful time when she pinned him to the tree.
" Go to Kagome, and I shall wait when you come back with your tail between your legs. You better choose, Inuyasha. Choose carefully. " Kikyo pointed to a retreating human with a yellow backpack. Kagome was leaving the feudal era. Inuyasha spared one more look at Kikyo, and ran to catch Kagome before she went through the well. However, if Inuyasha was still a hanyou, he would have smelled the whereabouts of a dark silhouette, hidden by the trees. Kagura had heard the entirety of the argument.
" He will have to choose soon enough. "
(A/N: Kay. I have a little sub-plot going on with Kagura and an OOC that I am focusing on. Hey my readers, if you have any ideas about what I should do with my OOC character, tell me I can really use the input. R&R and sorry to keep you waiting. Constructive Criticism always!
