Chapter 26: A parasite?
Kagome/Kikyo's arms wrapped around Naraku's neck and she tugged him closer with ease. "Hello Naraku, am I more appealing now?" she asked in a different voice than Kagome's. Naraku bit her lip and purred, "Much more." (A/N: From now on I'm calling the Kikyo in Kagome's body Kikyo, 'cause that's who she is now, innit?) Kikyo stiffened with anger, but she relaxed instantly and ran a finger up Naraku's arm. "How about we play a game using the young Lord's emotions?"
Inuyasha shot thru the maze like grotto and he roared with complete anger at the sight before him. Kagome—naked—was on her hands and knees crawling towards Naraku—who's pants had been opened. He shot forward in attack and saw Kagome's eyes widen in surprise, she looked up at him and a strange emotion—almost like malice—flittered in her eyes. Inuyasha hesitated but he saw Kagome cry out for him. "Kikyo, what the hell are you doing?!" hissed a now slightly worried Naraku. The plan had been simple; Kikyo was to convince Inuyasha that she loved Naraku and desired him much more than she did Inuyasha. Inuyasha would not be able to do anything as a youkai always makes their decision finality. They would torment him, Naraku would have Kikyo in front of Inuyasha and Inuyasha would be broken.
What was Kikyo doing? She was totally messing up the fun little plan! Naraku grabbed her arm roughly and shook her. "Bitch, what the fuck are you doing? This wasn't the fucking plan!" he yelled. Inuyasha swiped at the now extremely worried and frightened Naraku. Kikyo stumbled back and played modest, trying to cover her bare body and failing miserably—as she tried to make it seem.
Kagome gasped for air. Where was she? Nothing made sense anymore. She seemed to be inside a smoggy black room, it was tiny and barely allowed her to breathe let alone move. She fought her restraints harshly, struggling and not stopping to take air; somehow knowing if she did the darkness would envelope her and smother her. A beam of hope shot thru her as she felt the room give a little; she fought more fiercely and was rewarded by fresh air.
Inuyasha's fists flew and Naraku cringed and bled. Kikyo—the little slut—had betrayed him. Suddenly, and unexpectedly, Naraku ducked and flew for Kikyo. The eyes she possessed widened in shock and fear and she looked like a deer caught in head lights. (A/N: I suppose it's safe to say that she's a complete baka in this fic and she forgets that Kagome's body is full youkai...) Inuyasha didn't know if he would make it on time though...
Kagome struggled harder than before and suddenly she toppled into a misty world of memories. Kagome tried to recollect herself, but she didn't seem to have a body. There was something in this place with her, something conniving, evil, and she would find it sooner or later.
Kikyo could feel something break inside her mind, almost like she snapped, but not quite. Something had freed itself, but...it couldn't be Kagome because Kagome was trapped in nothingness, oblivion, hell. It was lurking in her memories and she had to find it and destroy it before it messed her up. Unfortunately—for her, good for us—Kikyo's tiny mind was a little bit distracted by the sight of Naraku's lethal tentacles and miasma reaching out to her. Inuyasha was inches away, when there was an abrupt burst in energy from Kagome. "Kagome?" both males murmured and stopped dead in their tracks.
Kagome had found Kikyo and somehow both essences of them were battling it out. Hurriedly, Kagome took control of the voice box and screamed, "Someone, help! There's a parasite soul of the late Kikyo inside—" Kikyo butted her out of the way and cruelly kicked her down. "Oh my, I'm positively going to lay off my sake tonight," she chuckled as a cover-up. Then Kagome got mad...
"How...?" whispered Naraku to himself. Inuyasha not being completely brainless began to ponder. Swiftly he sliced off Naraku's head pouring slimy rivers of purplish black blood all over the cave's floor. "That's for going against me, ya dumbass!" Inuyasha quickly made his way to Kagome's body and tapped her vacant face. "Kagome, what the hell is happening?" he asked her softly. Kagome's invisible heart sped up as she heard Inuyasha's sweet concerned voice. She turned to the voice box and gasped out, "Inuyasha!" before Kikyo slammed her into a coal black snare. "Thank you Kagome," she whispered. Turning into the voice box she said, "I love you!" Kagome's eyes widened in surprise and she squeaked muffled protests of anger.
Kikyo hurriedly overtook the body and settled herself into control. Wow...when had Inuyasha killed Naraku? She quickly assessed the situation and flung herself onto Inuyasha's shoulder. "Oh Inuyasha, it was horrible, thank you ever so much!" With her head buried in his hair, Inuyasha never saw the victorious smirk that filled her face, or the knife in her hand...
