AN: Thank you very much for the reviews. I'm glad that you guys like the story so far, so here we are with a new chapter. Read & Review!!!!!!!
Misawn said nothing, and his eyes never left those of the miko in front him. She resembled Kagome in a way, yet you didn't have to look to hard to tell the differences. One of the most noticeable would be their scents. While Kagome smelled of jasmine and fresh water lilies, (AN: I love that lotion made by Sarah Michals) this miko smelled of death and decay.
"You have something that I want, I suggest you give them up. Now."
Misawn wrinkled his nose in disgust. "Even through your nearly unbearable stench, I can smell your lie." He crossed his arms over his chest. "There's something else you're after, dead miko."
Kikyo's face showed no affect to the curt remark. "Your arrogance reminds me of Inuyasha."
Misawn's back stiffened at the sound of the hanyou's name. "What do you know of the hanyou?"
"Mainly that he has a promise that binds him to me. He wouldn't dare break that promise, especially not for the likes of my reincarnation."
"So you're the dead wench that they all speak so 'fondly' about." He chuckled softly. "Pity, I expected something better looking, and smelling."
"I see that my reincarnation has captured your affections. Unfortunately, for you, she doesn't return them."
"What do you want from me, dead wench!" He'd had enough of her presence.
Kikyo smiled evilly, she was getting to him. "It appears that you could use a bit of assistance with your love life. I can make so you can take her away with you and make her your mate, if you so wish."
"And the hanyou?"
"Is mine. I merely need to remind him of his promise to me, you just worry about the girl."
Misawn thought for a moment. This all seemed to good to be true, but he alos needed to be mindful of Kagome's feelings for the hanyou. He had heard her say that she loved him many times in the past, but just how much he wasn't quite sure. He mentally shrugged, he would make her forget the bastard hanyou.
"Do we have deal?" Kikyo's voice broke through his thoughts.
She had given him a moment to let it all sink in. When he seemed to have made she choice, she offered her hand to seal the bargain.
Misawn, however, merely nodded his agreement. He didn't want to touch her at all.
'Soon, my dove, soon.'
Morning brought a lovely picture of Kagome asleep in Inuyasha's arms. Sango and Miroku decided to let them sleep, and slunk off into the forest to gather firewood. They also took Shippou, knowing how the kitsune asked too many questions.
The morning song birds seemed to sing more joyously this morning. It was as if they wanted to tell the world of the happiness that seemed to surround Inuyasha and Kagome.
Inuyasha had been up since before sunrise. He'd felt Kagome's breath against his neck, she must have snuggled up closer during the night. He felt her shiver from the cold, and mentally cursed for not remembering to get a blanket. Instead he pulled her closer into his embrace, using his large sleeves to cover her arms.
'Kagome. Without even trying you've filled the loneliness I've felt for so long. Funny how I always thought it would be Kikyo. I didn't realize how much I loved you until I thought I'd lost you.'
Kagome sighed in her sleep. She opened her eyes, and at first everything was white. Then she smiled shyly, remembering that she had slept with Inuyasha last night. Cautiously, she sat up, trying to be mindful of Inuyasha's wounds.
Inuyasha watched as she slowly sat up. He smirked knowing that she was trying not to hurt him. When her eyes met his, he smiled playfully at her. She rewarded him with one her brilliant smiles, before getting up.
"And where do you think you're going?"
"To take care of my morning duties, and bathe."
"Feh. Humans." He said turning away. "Just don't take too long or I'll come get ya."
"Inuyasha!" She blushed but turned away before he could see.
She found a nearby river and proceeded to take a bath. All the while she kept replaying what Inuyasha had said the night before. She was so happy she felt like singing.
Her voice sounded like that of an angel as it floated above the trees. Feeling refreshed she stepped out of the water. She was wringing her hair, when she felt something drape her shoulders. Gasping, she pulled the cloth tighter around her body and whirled around. Her face paled when her eyes met azure ones.
"Misawn!"
