Chapter 12: Enter Menoumaru **sorry about the chapter title...but I couldn't think of anything else.
Shippo was sitting in Sesshomaru's chair when the brother's returned. He was leaning over her, sniffing her wound from a week ago, curiously. When he sensed the brothers enter he pulled away. "What is it, Shippo?" Inu Yasha asked.
"Kirara was sniffing Kagome near her wound and growling when you two left, so Shippo's been sniffing her ever since," Sango said holding a restless Kirara in her arms.
"So?" Inu Yasha asked.
"Her scent is slightly different," Shippo stated. Sesshomaru and Inu Yasha quirked an eyebrow and went to see for themselves. Inu Yasha was first and realized there was something different, but when Sesshomaru smelled her wound, he growled angrily.
"What is it?" Miroku asked him.
"Doku (Poison)..." Sesshomaru stated angrily.
"Well how do we get it out of her?" Shippo asked with worry.
"You can't," Someone stated from the balcony. Everyone looked up and saw a green-haired demon dressed in an old armor with two red streaks in his hair.
"Who are you!?" Inu Yasha growled as his outfit changed into his red haori and hakama. His hair turning silver, dog-ears appearing, fangs beared and claws extended. At his waist was Tetsusaiga, his father's fang passed down to the hanyou son.
Sesshomaru averted to his humanoid form with his demon markings and his outfit changed to what he wore in Sengoku Jidai. Tenseiga, his father's fang passed down to his full-blooded youkai son, and Toukijin, forged from the fangs of Goshinki, at his waist. He too growled furiously.
"I am Menoumaru. I do believe this little miko has told you about me," the demon said with an evil smirk on his face.
"What did you do to her!?" Sesshomaru growled.
"Oh...just enter her dreams, add a little poison..." Menoumaru teased. "And...take her away..."
"What?!" Inu Yasha and the others exclaimed.
"Come, Kagome," Menoumaru ordered. Suddenly, everyone'seyes turned to Kagome and watched her eyes open. She slowly sat up and her clothes changed into the traditional miko garb. Sesshomaru, Inu Yasha, and the others saw her eyes; they were vacant. "Kagome!" Sesshomaru called as he stepped in front of her. "Snap out of it!"
Kagome stepped aside and started walking toward Menoumaru again, but before she got there, she stopped and dropped to her knees, holding her head. Her eyes averting to their normal vibrant look.
"Hmm...you're a lot stronger than you look," Menoumaru said.
"Let me go," Kagome said through clenched teeth.
"Kagome!" Shippo called as he started towards her.
"Stay back, Shippo!" Kagome shouted as she struggled to control herself. "I...I don't know what I am capable of!"
"Kagome..." Sesshomaru said softly as he went to reach for her, but before he could, she turned towards him with her bow and arrow drawn. Everyone gasped at the sight. "Kagome..."
"Run...please..." She pleaded before her eyes turned vacant again. Sesshomaru quickly moved as she fired the arrow, grazing his arm. Sesshomaru winced in pain. He saw a burn mark on his arm and blood dribbling down. He looked back up and saw that both Kagome and Menoumaru had disappeared.
"Kagome!" Sesshomaru shouted before dropping to his knees, trying desperately to control his youki.
"Sesshomaru, we need to take care of that wound," Sango said, running over to him with bandages.
"Don't worry, Sesshomaru, we'll get Kagome back," Shippo assured him.
"Yes, Sesshomaru-sama," Mirkou agreed. "I must agree with the kit."
"Don't worry, brother. Kagome is fighting it and we will find her," Inu Yasha asssured him. "She will be fine."
Sesshomaru took a deep breath and nodded before he was finally all bandaged up and allowed to leave the room to think. Inu Yasha watched his btoerh drag himself out of the room sadly. "Poor Sesshomaru-sama," Miroku said softly. He must be madly in love with her."
"Yeah. He is," Inu Yasha said softly. Please be okay, Kagome.
~*~Somewhere Between Two Realms~*~
Kagome slowly opened her eyes and found herself in a dark room. She tried to sit up, but her wrists and ankles were chained down. She pulled on one of her arms, but she couldn't break free. "Hello?!" Kagome shouted. "Is anyone there!?"
"No one can here you..." a young woman's voice said softly from the darkness.
"Who are you!?" Kagome asked. "Show yourself."
The woman stepped forth and revealed herself. It was Kikyo. "I told you to be careful," Kikyo said softly.
"I was...I can't protect myself in my dreams..." Kagome said softly. "Where am I?"
"You're hiding within yourself," Kikyo informed her.
"What?" Kagome asked.
"The doku that Menoumaru put into your body...put your soul asleep in a way. Basically, you are locked away and your body is being used as a tool by Menoumaru," Kikyo explained.
"Well how do I break free from this?" Kagome asked.
"That is something you will have to find out on your own..." Kikyo said softly.
"If
you're not
here to help
me, then why
are you
here!??!"
Kagome
exclaimed
angrily.
"Kagome," Kikyo said as she walked up to her and knelt down beside her. "I know I have called you my reincarnation, but you only have half of my soul within you..."
"Huh?!" Kagome asked with a quirked eyebrow.
"You have only half of my family's soul. Remember when the ogress took your soul and put it within my shell of a body?" Kikyo asked. She saw Kagome nod and decided to continue. "I was never able to hold your whole soul within my body because only half of it was mine. The other half remained in your body and is why you were able to call most of it back."
"Then what is the rest of my soul?" Kagome asked.
"That is for you to find out," Kikyo said before vanishing into the darkness.
"Wait!!" Kagome shouted, but Kikyo was gone.
"Sesshomaru and Inu Yasha cannot help you, Kagome. You must fight the battle yourself..." Kikyo's voice whispered from the shadows.
Kagome felt the tears rolling down her cheeks, fearing the worst for her companions. She knew she had shot at Sesshomaru and he was alive, but she wasn't so certain about the next time for the one she loved and her closest friends. "Sesshomaru...Everyone...I'm so sorry!" Kagome cried.
