Thanks to all of you guys for your reviews! I think I'm gonna go for a love match between Kami and Jiro but I'm not gonna get too suggestive…if you know what I mean. He he he
Chapter 12
Naraku's Castle
Jiro stood ever at alert, staring ahead out of his cold blue eyes. Kami shuddered. There was no way she was going to get out alive, not with that monster guarding the door and Kagura and Kanna wandering the halls. Her ears perked up when she heard soft tapping sounds on the floorboards. Footsteps! Who—
Kikyo strolled in the room and motioned for Jiro to go away, which he obeyed, still holding Kami's Pokemon. "Little girl," said Kikyo. "I've tried to be nice to you. I shall play no more. Tell me the secret of the Pokeball quick, while that vile Naraku is still out birthing more hideous incarnations of himself! And don't tell me you don't know! I'm not going to accept that!"
"I really don't know!" snapped Kami. "And even if I did I wouldn't tell you! What do you want it for anyway?"
Kikyo's dark eyes got even blacker. "That's…none of your concern," she said coldly. But Kami saw. She saw the brief flash of love that shone out of Kikyo's eyes before being replaced by death and iciness.
"You…you're doing it for someone you love, aren't you?" she dared to ask. "I'm right, aren't I?"
Kikyo glared at Kami. "And what is love to you? No one loves you. You've never loved anyone the way I loved him—" She clapped a hand over her mouth, realizing she'd said too much.
Inuyasha and Crew's POV
"There aren't any more footsteps!" exclaimed Inuyasha when he got to the clearing where the soul skimmers had spirited Kikyo and Kami away. "But the scent still hangs. It goes into the sky."
"Kirara!" The small catlike creature suddenly grew to horse-sized. "Follow the scent!" said Sango, helping Kagome and Shippo climb on. Miroku threw a leg over Kirara's side, followed by Inuyasha. "We must find her!"
"Stop!" commanded Inuyasha, breathing in a noxious odor. "I smell something. That horrible stench…it's got to be Naraku!"
"Sharp nose, pup!" said Naraku, stepping out from the shadows of the trees. He was in his baboon getup (A/N: well I don't know what it is! Lol!).
"Naraku! We should have known it was you!" shouted Kagome. But then, why is Kikyo involved with this?
"Heh… do you know why Kikyo's scent lingers here, Inuyasha?" said Naraku. "It's because…she struck a deal with me!"
"W-what?" Inuyasha asked, caught off guard.
"Yes, Inuyasha, you heard me. Kikyo, as you might know, wants that silver orb that the girl carries. Badly. But I do too. So I made a pact with her. She brings the ball to me, I let her use its power to grant her a wish. And she won't be purifying it like she used to do the Shikon no Tama. Oh no. She wants something she can't get unless she uses it to grant a selfish wish. She wants you, Inuyasha. Heh… But the other part of our deal was that I could also partake in its wish-granting powers. And I shall use the orb to my advantage. And trust me, it'll be more of a challenge than that beast Ryukotsei, or Juro and Kageromaru. Heh…" And with that, Naraku vanished in a plume of purple smoke.
"Inu…Yasha?" asked Kagome tentatively, going up to him.
He didn't answer. Kikyo. Why do you want me to go to hell with you so badly? You died because of me, but that was years ago. And besides…I'm starting to like being with Kagome and Sango and that pervert monk and the little kitsune a whole lot.
Naraku's Castle
Naraku returned to the courtyard to find Jiro standing there, wandering aimlessly. "Jiro. What are you doing?" he asked.
"Kikyo sent me out," the demon replied.
"Oh?" She must've wanted to question the girl about the orb. No matter. Soon its power will be totally mine to control! (A/N: doesn't Naraku sound like a Valley girl? Lol)
He walked swiftly back inside. "Jiro, come back and guard her again. It's time to take the orb from her."
Whew! I just finished when I got home from school! And I felt like writing something after doodling all day… so whaddya think? No flames please, just constructive criticism and reviews. Jiro has yet to get friendly with our little heroine! Till we meet again!
