~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Inuyasha and the rest recovered at Kaede's village, it was very tense.
Sango looked at Miroku and said, "I think that Sesshoumaru was telling the truth. That was Kagome. Why else would she have been able to get through the well?"
Miroku nodded. "I believe so as well. But Inuyasha seems determined not to believe his brother. I think it seems more out of habit than belief. And we mustn't forget that Sesshoumaru had saved this village from decimation from that Inu-youkai, who is, supposedly, Kagome. I'm sure he did not do that out of the goodness of his heart, if he has one. I think he did it to save Kagome. If she had done that, she would have had the bloodlust upon her full force. She would have been unstoppable, and judging by the surge in youki I had felt before, Sesshoumaru was not able to stop her without reverting to his true form."
Sango sighed. "I miss her so much Houshi-sama. I just wish we could see her without worrying about her dying or her destroying a village. I just can't seem to grasp that the innocent, optimistic, happy girl I used to know, that would worry about Inuyasha swearing in front of children, is now a youkai that has to worry about containing a bloodlust that could kill hundreds. It seems so unfair; she has to do all this just because of Inuyasha and that stupid jewel! But, did you notice how strange Inuyasha starts to act right after he sees Kagome? He acts all, detached for a few hours, and then he seems to have all the reasons in the world why we shouldn't worry about Kagome and starts saying things like, 'Who cares about the weak human.' It seems like he's being, manipulated, somehow."
Miroku looked deep in though for a moment. "I agree, he seems to act a bit more, strangely, of late. Perhaps it has something to do with Kikyou?"
Sango gave him a confused look, "But we haven't seen Kikyou in almost three weeks. How could she hold Inuyasha under a spell and be away at the same time?"
Miroku looked up and said, "Inuyasha approaches, we should get ready, and he will want to get going."
Sango nodded and looked up at the noon sky, 'Kagome. No matter if you are youkai or human. You will always be my little sister. Never forget that. Please, don't forget me.'
A single tear rolled down her cheek and she walked with Hiraikotsu slung over her back, after the retreating back of the monk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome was playing with Rin and Shippou in the garden when, her headache seemed to start up again. She felt the back of her neck. No bump or even a bruise.
It started to worsen and her vision began to blur. She swayed a little on her feet before toppling over.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A dark figure gazed into the water he held in his hands and watched as the young female youkai he was watching fall to the ground. He smirked. Soon, very soon, the miko would go out on her own and would be more open for his manipulations.
He poured the water into a basin he had taken it from, and the image vanished.
He walked to the end of the room he was in and took a long slim stiletto out of its sheath. He gazed at it thoughtfully. The underling snake youkai Hikari had been far too easy to possess and manipulate. He knew all of the mikos strengths and weaknesses, her friends and family for one, all he had to do was threaten her friend's life and she went overboard on the youkai's body. Then, all he'd had to do was injure her family and she'd almost desecrated that village along with her friends also.
But he hadn't counted on the Taiyoukai coming and stopping her. It seems that the Sesshoumaru he had known long ago had changed.
His grip on the stiletto tightened. The young daimyo had touched his miko, defiled her.
Now, he couldn't have that could he?
It seems like some of these people were far too easy to manipulate.
All but a few.
The miko and the Taiyoukais' were not.
Well, the apple did not fall far from the tree. Kinyoru's brother and daughter both are not easily manipulated. And then there was Midoriko. Not an easy task to block her from the miko's mind.
He balanced the stiletto on the tip of his finger.
He would have the miko, her body, her soul, her......power.
The raw power she exhibited, it was seducing him. Calling him.
Who ever said that you couldn't have power over people while imprisoned inside of a realm between life and death?
He chuckled darkly as he peered into the blade of the dagger to look upon the gruff looking figure of the Inu-hanyou.
Like he had said before, some people were just too easy to manipulate.
Especially when it came to love.
He closed his eyes and began another one of his manipulating journeys.
Soon. Soon he would be free of his prison and then he would take position of what was his.
Namely a certain miko-youkai.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome was dropped onto a cold surface. She looked around her to find she was in a blank space of black.
No grass, no mountains, no sky, no ground. Just black. Nothing.
"Hello my miko." Came a voice from behind her.
She whirled around to see a cloaked man standing right behind her. She growled and said, "Who the hell are you?!"
He just sighed and said, "I am here to help. To reveal something to you."
Kagome relaxed a small bit and said, "What is it you have to show me."
He looked as if he was reluctant to do this, even though the hood of his cloak covered three quarters of his face. He held up his hand and the blackness disappeared to reveal a dense forest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sesshoumaru had been working at his desk when his head exploded in an unbearable pain. He held his head in his clawed hands and before he could utter a word, he passed out.
He arrived in the same blackness that Kagome had seen when she arrived in her dream.
"Hello Sesshoumaru-sama." Said a voice to the left of him.
He calmly turned to the voice. It was the same man wearing the same cloak that had been in Kagome's dream state. He asked in a monotone voice, "Who are you, and what are you doing here."
The figure smiled and said, "I, am here to help. I am simply showing you something that you may find...interesting." the figure gave a genuine smile. Well, almost genuine.
He waved his hand and they appeared in a dense forest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An image of Sesshoumaru appeared in front of her and her eyes widened. She would have said something, but her head was bombarded with fragments of speech.
'Get me the Tetsusaiga........stupid wench........did you really think I cared for you?.....kill you.......say goodbye.......where will you run?.......weak.......run away.'
Sesshoumaru's voice whispered to her. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Sesshoumaru was using her.
He would kill her when he was done with her.
He toyed with her.
She had believed him. She had cared for him and put trust in him.
She had..... loved him.
She watched as he turned his back and left her there. She sank to her knees. Why was she seeing this? Why did she believe it? Why was this so real?
"No." she said in a whisper. "It's not true." She told herself, as his image got dimmer. "Don't leave me." She whispered desperately. Her eyes overflowed with tears and she couldn't even move her arms to cover her face.
'That was too easy.' Thought the hooded figure as he backed into the mist that was settling over the forest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sesshoumaru gazed at the forest as if it were nothing, wearing a bored expression.
Kagome appeared in the forest and he looked at her with the same expression. He heard her voice.
'Sesshoumaru...you are a replacement......so foolish......did you think I could love you.......Inuyasha....'
He watched as Inuyasha appeared next to Kagome and she turned around. Inuyasha gave him a smirk and then turned around again.
Sesshoumaru felt hurt, betrayed. His eyes took on a pained and angry look. So, he was just a replacement for Inuyasha. He was merely something for her to toy with until she got her hanyou back. She was right. He was a fool.
He was a fool for letting down his walls.
For taking her in.
For trusting her with his secrets.
For caring for her.
For letting her change him.
For letting her get under his skin.
For......loving her.
The wench had made him weak. The only way to put how he felt now, was heartbroken. His already fragile heart shattered. He had been so careful to erect his barriers and walls so no one could get past them. And he had let her in through the front door. Then she had broken down every one.
How he had fallen.
His eyes took a red tint. The bitch would do it to Rin too.
He would not allow her to manipulate him and Rin any longer.
The cloaked figure could have laughed. How readily these two responded to their fears and feelings! If things worked out right, the miko would be out before tomorrow. He vanished into the mist to watch his little drama play out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome awoke to wide amber eyes staring down at her worriedly. Rin's face lit up. "Kagome is awake! We thought you were hurt."
Shippou bounded onto her chest and hugged her. "Kagome! Are you okay? I was so worried!"
Kagome did not even acknowledge the kit on her chest. She had no feeling in her. She stood up, Shippou falling off her chest. She walked, her back ramrod straight into the castle.
She walked at a steady, slow pace, up the stairs, to his study. She pushed open the door to be met by the red gaze of Sesshoumaru.
A small shred of pain returned to her chest and she let it show through her eyes. "When did you plan on telling me?"
*Sometimes I, need to remember just to breathe.*
Sesshoumaru growled low and stood up.
*Sometimes I, need you to STAY AWAY FROM ME!*
Kagome had now registered her anger full force. "When did you plan on telling me that you were using me you bastard!?!?!"
*Sometimes I'm, in disbelief I didn't know,*
Sesshoumaru walked right up to her, he growled loudly and said in a dangerous hiss, "Leave."
*Somehow I, need you to go,*
Kagome growled back at him and said, "Would you like me to leave before or after you stomp on my heart again!?" She screamed at him.
*Don't stay!
Forget our memories,
Forget our possibilities,
What you were changing me into, (Just give me myself back and,)*
Sesshoumaru stared down into her red gaze, "I will not tell you again bitch. Leave."
*Don't stay!
Forget our memories,
Forget our possibilities,
Take all your faithlessness with you,
(Just give me myself back and,)
Don't stay!*
Kagome shook with anger and grief. Before Sesshoumaru could blink, she had punched him point blank in the jaw and ran down to her room.
*Sometimes I, feel like I trusted you too well. *
She grabbed her knew black bag and threw some of her kimonos, her black outfit, her cd player, cds, and anything else she had brought with her here.
*Sometimes I, Just feel like SCREAMING AT MYSELF!*
She strapped her sword, athemaes, and whip to the bag and put on her boots. This all took her about fifteen seconds.
She quickly whispered to the wind, "I'm sorry Shippou, Rin. I'm sorry."
*Sometimes I'm, In disbelief I didn't know.*
She ran as fast as she could down the hall and out the door. She transformed into her true, dragon form, and rocketed off the ground with ground shaking velocity.
*Somehow I, need to be alone.*
She flew upward until she had a full view of the castle and its grounds. She narrowed her giant green orbs at it and let out a roar. She raised her head and shot out streaks of red energy across the sky like lightning.
*Don't stay!
Forget our memories,
Forget our possibilities,
What you were changing me into,
(Just give me myself back and)
Don't stay!*
Sesshoumaru sat by the wall where he had landed for a minute. He opened his eyes when he felt the surge in her youki.
He blurred out the door and down the stair into the garden. He looked up in time to see her spout energy across the sky.
*Don't stay!
Forget our memories,
Forget our possibilities,
Take all your faithlessness with you,
(Just give me myself back and,)
Don't stay!*
Kagome spun around and flew off towards the southeast. She flew over the east fringe of Inuyasha's forest. She clenched her huge clawed fists and let out another roar and spewed energy from her mouth.
*I don't need you anymore,
I don't want to be ignored,
I don't need one, more day,
Of you wasting me away,
I don't need you anymore,
I don't want to be ignored,
I don't need one, more day,
Of you wasting me away.
Don't stay!
Forget our memories,
Forget our possibilities,
What you were changing me into,
(Just give me myself back and,)
Don't stay!
Forget our memories,
Forget our possibilities,
Take all your faithlessness with you,
(Just give me myself back and,)
Don't stay!
Don't stay!
Don't stay!*

Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango were traveling towards the eastern lands, so they were in the east part of Inuyasha's forest.
Miroku stopped suddenly, as did Inuyasha. Sango looked at them and asked, "What's wrong?"
Inuyasha sniffed the air and said, "There is a huge surge of youki in the air. And it's coming this way, fast."
Sango crouched and Kirara transformed to her larger form.
Inuyasha drew the Tetsusaiga and waited. They all jumped when they heard the loud rumbling sound.
Inuyasha's ears twitched wildly, "What the hell was that?!"
Red lightning streaked across the sky and Inuyasha's ears flattened against his head, "And that!"
Before any of them could get a word in, a huge black dragon flew overhead.
Miroku gazed at the smoke circles it had left in the sky and said, "I believe it was a very pissed off dragon." He gazed across the sky in the direction it had flown.
Sango looked shaken. "I would have hated to see it stop here."
They all nodded and continued their travel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Short chappy. But it was written in an hour! I spaced out for about ten minutes at a time, so, that's why.
Please don't kill me! Don't worry! Bad guy will have a name soon! Kagome and Sesshoumaru will not be parted for long, well, reading wise anyway. -_- '
Originally, when she had left, I had wanted to use the song, 'My last breath' by Evanescence. But, this song fit my mood, so, that's why it's in there. For those of you who listen to Linkin Park, I capitalized the parts where it went from singing to screaming in the song to make it less confusing for the unfortunate people who don't listen to Linkin Park.
*crawls into bomb shelter and locks it about a million times* I AM NOT COMING OUT UNTIL CHAPTER 26!!!! IT'S NOT SAFE!!!!!! ALL FLAMES ARE WELCOMED!!!! I DESERVE THEM FOR HOW MEAN I'VE BEEN TO YOU!!!! BYE NOW!!!
Ja ne!
Amreld the sky elf
*still in bomb shelter*
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters. I do own Amreld and the antagonist to be. I do not own any of the songs that I have used in this fic, especially the very wonderful songs that have been written by the talented band members of Linkin Park.
A/N None as of now. Except for the fact that the antagonist is, as you know him, 'The shadow'. ^-~ I hope that will help. Sorry about the un- Narakuness, he will be in this story! I promise!
