Chapter 9: The Returning Betrayer
Kagome rested against a tree, listening to the others talk about her, except for the loyal Sango and Shippo. Hayasa had left to speak with Kouga and her mate earlier. Silently, Kagome stood, then she walked off to the quietness of deeper forest. 'What could harm me, its not even real,' she thought. But, just because you can't see its spirit doesn't mean its there....
Sadly, Inuyasha walked towards her scent, knowing she would be mad at him for following her. 'Stupid, Kagome, that wolf tried to bind her,' he thought shaking his head as Miroku's words ran through again. "Inuyasha, perhaps you should comfort her," he had said before following her white-rose scent, "And in case you two...get acquainted, take these," and the believing, holy monk handed him three pounds of kama sutra in scrolls. Of course, Sango saw them and the three pounds were shoved into his mouth before she slammed his head with a punch.
Kagome lay against a rock near the hot water spring, soaking her sweaty-dirt caked feet. Softly she whistled, gathering the attention of another woman nearby who was going to the spring. Like the wind, the tall woman moved through the trees noiseless on her toes. When she saw the girl her stone face remained carved, but her eyes gleamed. Quickly she drew an arrow and aimed...
As Kagome stopped whistling as an arrow whistle by her face and she turned to see Kikyo standing there, glaring at her in hatred. Her sleeves were pulled back and the pants were pulled up and tightened. Suddenly, she felt hands gripping into her and looked down to see evil nymphs of purple grabbing at her feet, Kikyo saying, "Sorry, Kagome, but you will not destroy me, even if I must undo what I have bound." Then, before Kagome could scream, the nymphs pulled her down, smiling at their meal as she choked on water.
Inuyasha broke through the trees and saw Kikyo standing there, her smell of vanilla blocked by the scent of anger. "Kikyo..." he whispered seeing her serene, stone face with the whips of black hair dancing in the wind. As if actually carved of stone, she stiffly turned while the bubble of Kagome's breathing softly disappearing. "Inuyasha," she said walking towards him, face set in stone. "Kikyo..." he whispered again before running towards her in a sweeping hug. "Are you safe?" he asked against her ear when suddenly a gasp made him turn back to see a soaked Kagome who tried to escape the grasp of the water nymphs.
"Kagome!" he shouted running to her as she went under again. An angry Kikyo ran through the thick forest, as souls of blue followed her. Before he could dive in a flurry of white power spread throughout the spring and Kagome floated face down to the surface. First, Inuyasha panicked before running to a water-rat looking Kagome who glared at him and cried out, "Leave me ALONE. It seems I can do well by myself. Go follow HER!" Angrily, like never before she stormed off and he found himself left in the wind of both.
The morning sun awoke Kagome from her sleeping spot. She hadn't returned to camp, but instead lay in the forest of trees. Unknown to her, Inuyasha lay hidden in a tree three feet away...twenty feet in the air. He could sniff her uneasiness as she stood and looked around before coughing. Jumping down in worry he asked, "Kagome, are you okay?" She glared before asking, scratchily, "Where are the others?" "Kaede has taken them to Myouga's village already, we have to catch up," he commented glaring back. "You didn't have to wait, Kikyo will probably kill me before I find out what I am anyway!" Kagome screamed, tired of his arrogance. "Shut UP! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WHAT WE HAD!!" he screamed back, and bit his tongue sharply when her eyes dilated in shock followed by pain before closing off to him. Silently she walked around him and lead the way...hoping she was right. Once, Inuyasha began to talk and she walked faster, but once he sped up she just stopped and refused to face him, so their walk continued.
During the night, even though they were only two miles away, they stopped at another forest. Soon chilly air whipped about them, and Kagome stubbornly sat, not clenching herself away from the cold, as if hoping it would take her spirit away. He began to take his haori off to lend her, but she shuffled away from him.
In the morning she sniffled and her body felt like icicles. Grudgingly she stood and walked onward, not caring if Inuyasha was following or not.
When he awoke to find a stale, frozen rose smell, he ran off trying to find her quickly. So, he did find her quite quickly, in the hands of Kikyo...
"Kikyo...I knew you would come to rid me...so...go on..." Kagome wheezed as Kikyo held her to the ground. Sneering for a moment to Kagome's disbelief she lifted an arrow and slashed Kagome's chest with it before slicing downward in an arc, hitting her stomach. She winched, but didn't allow Kikyo to hear her scream and sarcastically thought to herself, 'Wow, I'm getting used to this.' She heard Inuyasha yell out Kikyo's name and felt tears rise, to her embarrassment and Kikyo's pleasure. Then Kikyo's body was lifted off her into the air and landed on the green grass.
"Kagome, hurry," Inuyasha called out hurriedly, leaning down as he viewed what damage Kikyo had caused. Gingerly, holding her top together, Kagome climbed on as he sprinted off. For a moment Kikyo scowled before smiling into a black jewel in her hand, inside Naraku's face smiled as well.
"WHAT HAPPENED NOW!" screamed Kaede watching Inuyasha lower Kagome to the ground, her front covered in blood as she stood shakily. "Nothing," she said as he started to protest. "Get to Myouga's now! I'll fix you up in there," Kaede said pulling Kagome towards the largest house in the village. Inside sat a fat, squat man with his equally large wife who wouldn't SHUT UP! He told her to quiet down as they sat. Kaede took Kagome to the side and gently patched her stomach as Myouga spoke to them. "Ah, Miroku, I see you have gained your highest capabilities already. Too bad, if Kagome had waited to not completely bind the beads, I would be able to help stop the void from growing, oh well," he said leaning back tired. "Either way, it seems I must give Sango something, or she won't survive a day alone...Inuyasha will have to call upon Toutousai...and I must speak to Kagome," he noted, rubbing his chubby chin. "Sango, please go outside and to exactly as I tell you," he groaned, standing slowly. Sango stiffened slightly before walking out the hut. Inside the others heard his orders.
"Okay, dear. Go to the north six steps...good...now west six steps...yep...finally six steps east...okay...now recite this...O Ancestors of Lore, I call upon your spirits to relinquish upon me the flame of your power delivered in the body of a beast, not enough to destroy all, but to protect all," Myouga called out clear and loud. Softly, Sango recited the saying before falling to the ground as the Earth around her shook. Cracking as if in a spell, the land before her rose up and blasted away. Inside lay a demon...cat?
"Aw, how sweet," Kagome said petting the little cat in Sango's lap smiling softly as it purred. "What about me, old man," Inuyasha asked Myouga. "As I told you before, impatient INU, you must visit Lord Toutousai. I shall speak to Kagome and the others while you are gone." "Fine, I'll leave now," Inuyasha called out and stood. Energetically, he leaped out of the village before careening back, "Where is it?"
Me: Man, Inuyasha. We have something in common. Both of us suck with directions.
Inu: I DO NOT!!!
Me: Uh, shut up...I have a headache and one of my friends is being a real pain in the neck so shut up...or I'll make you
