Chapter 25: I'm not yours!
Kagome woke chained to a chair by her arms. "What the fuck?!" she cried as she struggled. She breathed deeply trying to calm herself as she absorbed the situation. She tried to recall everything that had happened, then she remembered her intoxication and Inuyasha. A fiery blush spread like wild-fire across her face and she closed her eyes in an attempt not to burst into hysterical laughter. She needed to free herself and get away from where ever the hell she was.
A shadow shifted in the corner of the room and Kagome's eyes dilated to fixate on the spot. "Come out already, I know you're there," she ordered thru clenched teeth. With a gasp Kagome recognized the person before her.
Inuyasha had waited for Hojo to show up and now he was tracking down Kagome. Inuyasha cursed his weak senses over and over again as he swiftly and determinedly followed Hojo. How could he have let Kagome down so horribly? And whose scent was lingering in the campsite, if only...he knew everyone's scent, curse Hojo and his ignorance! But then again...without Hojo they would never have found a scent at all.
Kagome's eyes bugged as she stared upon the decaying form of Kikyo. Kikyo's misshapen mouth grinned eerily at her. "Don't I just look lovely?" she sneered. Kagome gagged at the overwhelming stench of putrid death around the air and struggled to free herself. Kikyo's rotting hand scraped across her cheek. "Oh isn't this wonderful?" she whispered. "Now, you who have killed me, will donate your body for me to use, that's fair, right?" She brushed her hand into Kagome's hair and added, "Of course. I would have preferred my own much more attractive body, but I suppose you'll just have to do."
Another shadow moved forward and eyed Kagome's face of horror and disgust. "Ah Kagome you are priceless. Now I can have your body and Kikyo's willingly spread legs, aren't I lucky?" Kagome hissed and looked up at the face of Naraku. Kikyo didn't care for the slur added to her name so she commented slyly, "What if in this life I decided to stay a virgin, eh?" Naraku glanced at her, "Than I'll take you by force, which—believe me—is much more enjoyable." Kagome let out a piercing shriek that resounded for miles. Hojo's delicate hearing picked up on it and he accelerated towards it, keeping it as a mental focus point.
Kagome gasped for air as a clawed hand snaked around her neck and squeezed. "Now, now, you can make noise like that when Kikyo is transferred into your body..." He released her after a moment and she coughed weakly. Looking up with hate filled eyes she demanded, "How the fuck did you do this?" Naraku sighed and flicked out a particularly sharp claw to twine in her hair. "So curious—well then alright, I guess I can tell you..."
Inuyasha paced Hojo stride for stride, he would arrive at exactly the same time, Sango was only a step behind them with Miroku and Ayame bringing up the rear. A fuzzy orange ball flew out of the bushes and latched itself to Inuyasha's face. "He took her!" it whimpered hysterically. Everyone stopped for a moment but kept going as Inuyasha struggled to free himself. He grabbed the fluff and kept running with it being jostled in one hand. "Lord, please! This hurts!!" "Shippo, you little bastard, you interrupted my flow!"
Kagome meanwhile was staring with wide eyes as Naraku explained that he'd summoned Kikyo's soul back and shoved it back into her body. Of course, the body was too weak to hold her, even after he'd repaired it. He had used a dangerous drug hidden inside a jewel called shikon. But still, her body needed a new permanent host; Kikyo had chosen Kagome, and of course Naraku had no problem with the selection. They would transfer Kikyo's soul to Kagome's body and Kagome's would be trapped forever in a black snare of nothingness. Then Kikyo would have her fun and so would Naraku, and no one would be the brighter about what was to happen. "And so, little cat, you are mine!"
Inuyasha was still keeping pace with Hojo as he interrogated little Shippo fiercely. Somewhere along the line Kirara had come out and now Sango Ayame and Miroku were astride her zooming overhead. Hojo's nose hit upon that odour again and he growled victoriously. Inuyasha's throat tightened in worry and he tried not to summon images of a raped, murdered, tortured Kagome to mind.
While he struggled with his demons Kagome had her own. "Let go!" she screamed as Kikyo and Naraku lifted her up and held her—with her youkai strength she threw Kikyo into the wall but Naraku was trickier. He slammed her down onto the floor and held her still by cutting off all her oxygen; she gasped and struggled futilely. When she drew another breath he crushed her down, making her mewl and hiss. Tentacle hands came out and quickly wrapped her arms and legs so she was immobile. "Fuck no, let me go! Onegai kusoyarou bakayarou!" Kagome would not cry, but her eyes shone with an eerie light. Suddenly Naraku was thrown off by a powerful surge of energy and Kagome slumped into an unconscious pile.
Kikyo stood shakily and grabbed Kagome carrying her over to the table where she then tied her arms and legs, laying her flat. Naraku watched while panting from the stinging blow he'd earned near his heart. Finally he stood and approached Kagome cautiously and looked over at the astounded Kikyo. "Are you ready?" he asked. Kikyo nodded eagerly a deteriorating smile forming on her face.
"Naraku? How did he escape my brother?" Inuyasha demanded fiercely. "I dunno, but he's here and he has some really creepy girl with him, she was the one. I saw her! She took the Lady while you were sleeping!" Shippo replied sadly. Inuyasha's eyes bled red and he muttered, "I'll kill who ever the fuck took my Kagome..." Miroku tentatively touched his arm and said softly, "Yash? Calm down, we have to think rationally, keep a hold of that fang of your, okay? We'll get her back, but we need to know what Naraku is planning to do with her." Inuyasha blew up, "Isn't it obvious?! He's gonna fucking rape her! This is bullshit, I'm not waiting around for you plotters, it's now or never!"
Naraku poured the glowing pink liquid on Kagome and dabbed a dot of it on Kikyo's forehead. Slowly he stepped back and lashed out a tentacle to slice a light cut on Kagome's forehead down to between her eyes. Turning to Kikyo he did the same so that the mark was the same size and in the same place. "Now all you have to do is grasp her hands Kikyo and say it." Kikyo's eyes glazed over and she leaned over Kagome to grab her hands as she whispered, "I am Kagome of the Southern Lands." The pink beaded liquid blazed and Kikyo screamed as it burnt thru her forehead exploding her decaying head everyone—splattering everything around her in her mashed brains. Naraku stepped forward to admire his work and kissed Kagome's lips lightly. Her eyes shot open in shock and...
Inuyasha knew he was close, he could feel it. The hairs on the back of his neck were prickling, something wasn't right...
ACK! TO BE CONTINUED....
Sorry about this guys, but I finally have a visualisation of the ending. And it will be in a couple chapter hopefully...After this story I may stop writing fanfiction, I'm sorry. I haven't decided yet, but I'm just so eternally tired mes amis. It's up to you guys really, for you I'll keep writing, but I don't really know if I should, I mean...jeez, I'm not very good and my stories seem so silly. sigh Even though I enjoy the silliness. I'll update soon, promise. Thanks again to Lady-Raini who keeps giving me lovely ideas, it's really appreciated. I'm going to use the idea you fed me, but distort it if you don't mind. I LOVE ALL OF MY REVIEWERS!! :D Ciao
