Chapter 10: Hanyou Against Hanyou, Yukio and Naraku's Despicable Plan
By InuShemeeko

Shimiko's eyes widened, as she looked though the brushes. The scene in front of her was most surprising. For Yori, Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippou, Miroku, Sango, and Kirara sat around a small fire fish were being cooked inside of the fire.

Inuyasha eyes darted around watchfully, his hand then slid over to the hilt of the Tetsusaiga.

"Something's here."

Yori's nose twitched, her eyes then widened as a familiar smell flooded into her nose.

They're alive!"

Yori then flew from her seat and ran straight for Shimiko and Kiyoshi.

"I was afraid that Yukio, might have done something to you."

Shimiko couldn't help but smirk a little bit. Yori then looked down at Kiyoshi, who had fallen asleep in Shimiko's arms. Yori's eyes fell down to the wound on Kiyoshi left arm. It didn't take long for Inuyasha to approach Shimiko. He looked down at Kiyoshi as he slept in Shimiko's arms.

"He's been injured. You should let Kagome take a look at that wound."

*********************
As the sun rose the next morning, Inuyasha became antsy, as did Shimiko.

"Hey, Shimiko? How's Kiyoshi this morning do you think he can travel?"

Shimiko nodded at Inuyasha and then left to speak with Kirara. Within seven minutes they were on the move through the forest. Both Shippou and Kiyoshi rode on a transformed Kirara. She had agreed to let Kiyoshi ride on her back. Inuyasha and Shimiko traveled in the front of the group, followed by Kagome, Miroku, Renjro, Kirara carrying Shippou and Kiyoshi, the traveling group then ended with Sango followed by Yori.

As they reached the end of the forest, the trees started to fade away and turn in to hard red clay dirt. Both hanyous growl deeply as they entered into the barren land. Kagome started to move forward toward Inuyasha, when he threw a clawed handed back toward her stopping her.

"Stay right there, Kagome. Don't move an inch."

Kagome just nodded her head. Both Miroku and Sango made their way toward the front.

"Inuyasha, what is it? What evil do you and Shimiko sense here?"

Inuyasha sneered before he looked back at the monk.

"It ain't anything good I can tell you that."

Shimiko nodded her head in agreement.

"I will have to agree with Inuyasha on that one."

A large cave made of red stone loomed over them. Inuyasha looked over at Kagome, Sango and Miroku. Shimiko did the same with Yori, Renjro, and Kiyoshi.

"You all stay here while Shimiko and I check things out."

All the group members nodded as they watched Inuyasha and Shimiko disappear inside the cave.

Kagome gazed over at the cave entrance, with eyes glazed with worry.

'Be careful Inuyasha.'

Kiyoshi's worry seemed to mirror that of Kagome.

'Shimiko what if you and Inuyasha just walked into a trap. Be careful in there Shimiko.'

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

The two inu-hanyous made their way slowly through the cave. Every one of his or her senses was on alert.

"I don't like this Inuyasha. I feel as if we are walking into a trap."

"Feh. Tell me something I don't already know."

As Inuyasha and Shimiko walked deeper into the cave, a thin red mist rose up from the ground.

A sweet tangy scent, fill the cave as the red mist started to rise higher. Shimiko's eyes widened franticly as the mist surrounded them.

"Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha's grip loosed on the Tetsusaiga as it fell to the ground.

"What the hell is this stuff?"

He then struggled to move his feet forward.

"Uh, I can't move. Shimiko are you ok? Can you move?"

There was no answer from Shimiko. Inuyasha's eyes widened in surprise as Shimiko's bone staff slid from her grasp and fell to the floor. Shimiko try to move but she couldn't. She could feel her blood tingly as a strange heat started running through her veins. Shimiko then turn two glowing blue eyes toward Inuyasha.

"Run while you still can Inuyasha."

"Huh? What are you doing? Look I don't want to hurt you."

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

Tension was building outside of the cave.

"Where are they? Inuyasha and Shimiko should have been back by now."

Miroku turned to face Kagome.

"Would not worry to much about them Kagome I'm sure they are just fine."

That's when Kirara started to growl. Sango looked over at her.

"What is it Kirara?"

That's when flames shot out from Kirara body. Her growls became louder. The red mist started to drift out of the opening of the cave. The ground in front of Kagome stared to glow purple as Kagome took a step back.

"Aak."

Kagome and the rest of the group stood and stared in disbelief. As Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga and Shimiko's Kainha (bone staff) appear in front of Kagome.

"Inuyasha..."

Kagome and Kiyoshi both started toward the cave.

"Lady Kagome, Lord Kiyoshi please wait stop!"

Just as they reached the door way the ground started to shake. Kagome screamed as she fell to the ground. Jagged rock like teeth shot up from the ground. Blocking their way inside the cave.

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

Small rocks fell from the ceiling and bounced off of Inuyasha and Shimiko's head. Inuyasha's ears flicked backwards at the sound of Kagome's scream.

"Kagome. Ka..go...me!"

That's when Inuyasha felt his blood pulsing through his veins. Now that the entrance to the cave was blocked, the red mist started to become thicker inside of the cave.

"What the hell is going on here?"

All of a sudden Inuyasha was knocked to the ground.

"Shimiko what the hell are you doing. Get off of me!"

Shimiko's claws dug into Inuyasha, the smell of blood rose into the air. Inuyasha stared disbelieving at the holes that were tore into the fire rat haori.

"It would appear that your fire rat haori is not as strong as what you say it is."

"I don't know what the hell is going on here, but this is where you get off."

Inuyasha brought his legs up kicking Shimiko off of him. However before Inuyasha pulled himself off the ground, Shimiko was on him straddling him. Shimiko's voice deepened as she spoke to Inuyasha.

"Why fight it Inuyasha? Give into the demon that is screaming to get out."

The coppery tangy smell of blood hit Inuyasha's senses. His eyes scanned Shimiko's body for the wound. Once found he licked his lips as he watched the blood roll from the wound on Shimiko's neck. Inuyasha's golden orbs then scanned the cave for the point of injured. He then noticed some sharp jagged rocks sticking out from the cave wall. Inuyasha guessed that when he had kicked Shimiko off of him she had fell up again the wall cutting herself.

Shimiko's eyes still burned a dark blue as she made her way toward Inuyasha. She then gripped Inuyasha firmly by the arms as she ran her tongue across his lips. Inuyasha shook his head trying to clear it. Shimiko's blood was becoming intoxicating; Inuyasha head swam with dizziness as he tried to focus on something else.

'Kagome, That's it I'll just think about Kagome.'

Inuyasha then felt his body heat start to rise.

'Ok, maybe thinking about Kagome isn't a good idea?"

He then felt Shimiko bring her lips to his. However Inuyasha never moved it was like he had forgotten how to move at all. The smell of Shimiko's blood tickled his nose once more. The smell was driving Inuyasha crazy.

'One little taste can't hurt that much? Can it?'

Inuyasha slowly drew his tongue from his mouth, and then rolled it across the cut in Shimiko's neck. The favor of Shimiko's blood caused Inuyasha's heart to beat faster exciting him, making him crave more. He then reached up and held Shimiko tightly by the forearm, his claws digging into Shimiko's own haori. Inuyasha licked Shimiko's neck once more causing her to moan in pleasure. He then placed his fangs to her neck and bit down.

Shimiko jerked forward once in pain before she subdued herself fully to Inuyasha's mercy. His fangs held on to Shimiko as he slowly brought her down to the cave floor. Inuyasha growled deeply as he felt Shimiko pulling away from him. His eyes burned a fiery red as he held fast to his prize. Inuyasha and Shimiko's demon instincts had taken over their body leaving them in the mercy of each other. The red mist hovered over the two still forms as they lay in each other's arms.
