Summary: Kagome wants to actually be able to help InuYasha fight instead of always getting in the way. During a battle, her wish is granted by someone...=) She helps them defeat the demon and everything but then, what's happened to her?! She's a demon?! (= InuYasha and co. don't know it's her and don't believe that it really is Kagome. Soon, everyone gets to know her as "The demon queen." Sesshoumaru is looking for a mate, hears about her, and is intrigued. What'll happen...?
Chapter 4
The Betrayal
"Wh-what are you saying?" the eastern lord asked, shocked.
"What does it sound like I'm saying?" asked Kagome sarcastically. As usual, nobody understood her sarcasm. "I'm saying, that I'm not ready to have a mate yet. No offense or nothing. But...I don't think you should choose a mate for him. He should find someone he likes and get her instead."
She started to walk out and nobody dared to stop her.
"Good luck, Sesshoumaru."
With that, she just left.
InuYasha was out the door, waiting for her. He didn't know why, but he just felt comfortable around her.
"SO? How'd it go?"
Kagome gave him a weak smile and started to walk away. InuYasha ran up to follow her.
"Now that that's taken care of, where's Kagome?!"
She turned around and glared at him fiercely.
"I TOLD YOU! I AM Kagome!! Why don't you believe me?!"
InuYasha stared at her as she stomped away.
Sango and Miroku were sitting by a hot spring...[1]
"Do you think Kagome really died, houshi-sama?" Sango asked, staring at the stars. It had turned into night while they had all been gone.
"I hope not," Miroku replied. "InuYasha might not look it, but he's hurting deeply inside."
Sango stared at him.
"Wow...that was a very serious thing to say!" She smiled.
Miroku looked at her questioningly. "Whatever do you mean? I'm always serious!"
-.-;
Shippou appeared out of nowhere and started taking off his clothes. Sango looked away while Miroku got closer to him.
"Shippou...? What are you doing?"
"Taking a bath! Don't tell me...you guys are embarrassed about taking a bath with each other, too?!" he asked, amazed.
Sango blushed and once she heard the splash of the water, she turned around.
"What do you mean, TOO?"
"Kagome and InuYasha started blushing and everything once I told them to take a bath with me. I mean, mama and papa took a bath with me lots of times! Why won't you?!"
Miroku grinned lecherously and said, "Well, I don't mind at all. Do you, Sango?"
Sango slapped him and walked away towards Kaede's hut. Miroku looked hurt and decided to take a bath with or without Sango.
InuYasha was back at his old tree, thinking about what she had said.
Flashback
"I told you! I AM Kagome!!! Why don't you believe me?!"
End flashback
InuYasha sat with his hands on his head, thinking. Could she really be Kagome? Obviously, that's how the real Kagome would act but...he wasn't sure of anything yet. Why didn't he believe her? The answer was simple. He didn't' believe her because he didn't want to believe her. It was just easier that way.
Kaede walked up to InuYasha and said, "InuYasha, if you're hungry at all, there's food in my--"
"Whatever."
Kaede sighed. Was it this hard just to TRY and be nice? It was worth a shot.
"So, did you find Kagome?" she asked.
He grunted.
"Is that a yes or a no? I can't read minds."
InuYasha turned around and faced her.
"She says she IS Kagome but I'm not sure whether I should believe her or not. She tried 'sitting' me and only you, Sango, Miroku, Shippou, Kouga, and of course, Kagome knows about that. I mean, she tried it, that confused me."
Kaede looked at him with sympathy.
"And one other thing. She appeared at this village and didn't exactly do anything except scare the villagers half to death. Other than that, I don't even think she TRIED."
Kaede was thinking. What kind of demon would just show up and not do anything at all? Not kill?
"InuYasha, just rest for a bit. I'm sure you're tired."
"Keh."
But he went to his tree and tried to go to sleep. After a while, Kikyou showed up.
"InuYasha," she said.
He got down and walked closer to her.
"Kikyou...?"
She got closer to him and put her hand on his face. He put his hand over hers.
"Kikyou, I--"
"Where is Kagome?" she asked, half listening to him.
"She's--"
"I don't sense her at all."
"We...we think she died..."
Kikyou looked at him with mock pity.
"That's too bad. She was my reincarnation after all. She could have been someone. So what are you going to do now?"
"Kikyou, I--I don't know what to do."
"If you continue to go searching for the shards...who will be able to see them?"
"...."
"I'll help you, InuYasha. I will always be here with you whenever you need me now."
"Kikyou...I don't--"
She put her finger on his lips to silence him and then she kissed him.
Kagome was just going to get her things and try to convince InuYasha one more time when she saw the whole thing. He was actually going to replace her? ...how could he? Didn't he care for her at all?
Tears blurred her vision as she ran into the forest. She didn't care anymore. She hated InuYasha.
Sesshoumaru rested by a tree, watching Rin fight with Jaken over a piece of wood.
"It's a snake!" Jaken accused.
"IT'S WOOD!" Rin argued.
"Snake!"
"Sesshoumaru-sama...?" Rin asked as innocently as possible.
"Yes, Rin?"
"Its a piece of wood, right?" she asked.
"NO! It's a snake!"
"Its obviously a piece of wood, Jaken," Sesshoumaru said, monotonously. Jaken's jaw dropped as Rin started to cheer. Sesshoumaru sighed. He didn't know why, but as soon as Kagome left, he felt like he needed to be with her. Inside himself, he argued about whether to chase after her or just leave it alone.
He sighed once more.
