Disclaimer: Hey all! How is every one? I am great! Just kinda mad at the
Inu brothers... * glares at their sleeping bodies * Last night, we were all
hyped up on Ramen and Coke and then they pinned me to the ground and
bombarded me with whipped cream!! They are sleeping, but when they wake
up...they are gonna be in deep shit let me tell you!
~*~Chapter Six: Where Evil Dwells~*~
The wooden bamboo doors swayed. The hot wind outside beat against the castle wall. Sunlight seeped into the room through the window. He sat in the middle of the mainly bare room, his legs crossed underneath him. His lavender kimono flared around him and his dark hair sprawled on his back. His eyes were closed and a smirk planted itself on his pale skin. A small girl walked into the room quietly, as a taller one barged in, disrupting the rhythm of the doors.
"Naraku! What are you planning to do with her!?" Kagura watched him.
"She had the jewel, Kagura. You know I would do practically anything to get it." He shifted his hair from in front of his face as he spoke. His voice had the same cold tone it always had, but there was a hint of superiority as he spoke about Kagome.
"What have you done? She is no use to you! All that girl can do is sense the shards, but there are none left! You and they are the only ones with them. There is but one thing standing in your way and it isn't her, it's Inu Yasha." Kagura was annoyed. The girl was of no importance anymore. They could have used her when shards were still out, but that stage was over. Why would Naraku waste his time marking a human girl that meant nothing?
"Kagura," he said, his voice dangerously low, "she is the key to bringing down Inu Yasha. If I have her, then he will be lost. She is important. You should know that." His anger and frustration with his incarnation was rising.
"Can't you just kill him? Naraku, your power has risen so much. Just kill him! Don't bother with-"
A loud smack rang through the room. Kagura's face was turned to the side, shock evident on her soft features. Her right cheek was quickly turning a light purple color. Naraku stood before her, his right arm raised and anger staining his evil face.
"Don't question me, Kagura. I can kill you with a simple motion, and you know it. Watch yourself. Leave." He sat back down, not looking at her again. She turned and stormed out, fingering her fan.
"Kanna, come." The young girl obeyed him and walked to him, her mirror placed in front of her small form. "Show me the girl, Kagome," he spoke softly.
The light reflections in the mirror spun around. They went clockwise, spiraling toward the center. Faintly, the form of Kagome sitting by Inu Yasha came into his view. He watched as she pushed him away and as he stormed off, much like Kagura had moments before. An evil smirk appeared as he whispered to no one in particular.
"She wont stay with them much longer. That mark on her back is more than it appears."
~*~
The leaves crunched under his bare feet as he walked through the forest. Birds chirped overhead and he grew agitated over their happy, carefree music.
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" he screamed. All was silent as he jumped up into a low tree. All his thoughts were on Kagome. 'What the hell happened? Why did she act like that? Damn, she is so pissy.' He leaned his head back on the rough bark and slid his arms into his sleeves. He let one of his legs hang down and it graced the soft grass.
Miroku showed up not long after. He saw Inu Yasha and sat down at the base of the tree.
"Inu Yasha," Miroku started.
"I don't wanna here it now, houshi." With his eyes closed, he narrowed his eyebrows.
"Hai, you do. It's about Kagome," Miroku waited a few seconds, and then continued. "On her back, is the spider mark." Inu Yasha was instantly crouched in front of him, a snarl escaping his lips.
"What the fuck did you just say?" His anger was flowing through his veins. His woman, his bitch, was marked by his enemy.
"Sango told me that when they were in the hot spring she saw it on Kagome's back. I don't know the extent of what it could mean, but by the way she was acting toward you, especially after becoming your mate, is affected by it."
"How the hell could this have happened? When could she have been marked by him?" Inu Yasha's hands were digging into the soft earth around him.
Miroku sat there and thought for a few moments. 'When could Naraku have had the opportunity to do this?' Then it hit him. "Inu Yasha, did you ever see Naraku leave when you killed Kikyo?"
"No...why?" Inu Yasha looked at Miroku. "What are you thinking there, Miroku?"
"We were all focused on you and Kikyo. What if Naraku marked Kagome then? No one would have noticed. You were enraged with Kikyo for attacking Kagome, while me, Sango, and Shippo had our eyes on you. No one was watching Kagome or Naraku."
Inu Yasha looked at Miroku. His eyes, unfocused, clouded over. 'It's my fault,' a stinging sensation hit his eyes. He wouldn't allow tears to fall. He closed his eyes and fell backwards. Inu Yasha laid there, arms and legs spread out. "It's my fault," he whispered into the wind. All the evil that had or was eventually going to corrupt his mate was his fault. He was too wrapped up in getting rid of Kikyo that he had not thought of Kagome till the miko was gone. "It's my fault,' he said again, bringing his hands to his face.
"My dear friend, it is not your fault. Don't think it is. You did what you had to do, and even if you had been with Kagome when this happened, I don't think you could have stopped it from happening. Naraku had the upper hand in that battle: Kikyo was there to distract you and Kagome was injured." He stood. "Come, Inu Yasha. We need to go back to Keade's." Inu Yasha stood and together they headed back.
~*~
Kagome sat with Shippo in her lap. She had acted so cold to Inu Yasha. 'Why?' she asked herself. She closed her eyes and concentrated on the last thing she remembered. In her mind's eye, she saw a large youkai; it looked a mix of bear and dragon. Large scaly wings sprouted from his furry hide, long claws came from its reptilian legs. She saw her friends helpless and gathered together. Kagome remembered Inu Yasha getting hit in the chest. His blood was everywhere, mixed with the rain that was falling. She remembered his scream crashing and breaking through anything else. When the claw of the beast closed into his chest, Kagome remembered seeing pieces of Inu Yasha's heart and lungs spill from the gaping hole in his chest.
Her last thought, what was it? 'Please, let him live.' Yeah, she wanted him to live. She didn't want him to die, but why? 'He's my friend,' she answered. Then another vision rang through. It was Inu Yasha in his demon form, running at her, with a look in his eyes that said, 'prey'. Then she 'sat' him. She had fallen asleep soon after on Kirara's back, only to find herself wake this morning with wounds she didn't remember getting.
She looked up at Sango who sat with Kirara on her shoulder, eating the food Keade had handed to her. "Sango," she started, taking her own bowl from the elder miko. "How did I get these wounds? Did the youkai actually hit me?"
Sango stared at her 'sister'. "What youkai, Kagome?"
"The one we fought yesterday, when Inu Yasha turned full demon. Miroku was knocked out, you were with him," Kagome played with the stew in her bowl. "I don't remember the beast actually touching me. I was just wondering how I got these wounds."
Sango didn't know what to say. 'Why is Kagome talking like this? That happened nearly a week ago. Does she not remember? If so, why not?' Kagome and Sango held eye contact for a moment before the men come back to camp.
~*~END CHAPTER~*~
Ok, ok, ok. Death may come now.... This chapter may have been a little confuzzling... but if you get it, then skip over the next paragraph. I just feel like explaining it.
Ok, at the beginning, we were witnessing Naraku in his castle, briefly explaining his plan to Kagura. Then we go to Inu and Miroku. They are talking about how it all could have happened. They figure out that Naraku marked Kagome when Inu was fighting Kikyo. The we switch to Sango and Kagome. Kagome, thanks to that damn mark, doesn't know about anything: Inu's death, Inu being her mate, anything that has to do with Demon. She has no recollection of anything past chapter one of 'The Demonic Side' to....just now... As far as she is concerned, it is a Friday afternoon, the day after fighting the big bear/dragon demon with sex jewel shards.
Well, that chapter was kinda crappy, but I promise to have the next chapter out before the week is done. Hope you all enjoy this chapter for now!
