Blood Lust Chapter 8- You Can't Handle the Truth!
Kagome was writhing on the ground in sheer agony.
'Wa--what's happening t-to me?' she managed to stutter out.
'You body is just dying.' the cold voice told her indifferently.
Then, Kagome passed out.

'Who are you?' Kagome demanded, trying to wriggle free of the ropes that bound her to the chair.
'I?' she responded with laugh 'I am Lady Kikyo.'
'What kind of lady takes other ladies hostage?' Kagome snarled, managing to break the ropes.
Kikyo quickly grabbed her wrists and rebound them. 'The kind that rules over the undead.' She hit Kagome on the head with a rock, effectively knocking her out.

'What have you done with Kagome!?!' Sango demanded as a pale young woman wearing a ruby red gown approached the cell she was being held in.
'The same thing I am about to do to you.' the woman replied.
'And what would that be?' Sango asked, backing away from the cell door.
'This.' the woman snapped open the door and was on Sango's neck in a matter of seconds.

Kikyo leaned back in the gigantic leather chair, and let out an evil chuckle. She allowed her mental link with the other girls to show her what they were up to. It appeared that they were sleeping, or unconscious.
'Kikyo, darling what are you up to?' Lord Naraku asked, approaching her and tilting her chin up with a finger.
'I am just getting myself acquainted with our temporary house guests. They will be gone soon enough though.' she replied, getting up and placing her arms around his neck.
'I love it when you act evil darling.' Naraku told her, kissing her hungrily and then---

"OH MY GOD!!!!!" Kagome screamed waking up from her dream.
"Whaz wrong, wha 'appened?" Sango asked still half-asleep.
"I need to wash my eyes!" Kagome shouted running toward the bathroom at top speed. "I saw Kikyo and ugh!" she shuddered.
"Kikyo and who?" Sango asked fully awake at the mention of Kikyo.
"Kikyo and that dude Naraku, you know the one that hung around the castle all the time!" Kagome shuddered again splashing water on her face repeatedly.
"What were they doing?" Sango asked, almost dreading the answer.
"Each other." Kagome said grimly. "On the bearskin rug in front of the fireplace in her room. Yuck!"
"Oh, gross!" Sango exclaimed.

"Dude, I just had the weirdest dream," Miroku said, walking into the kitchen, "Your ex, Kikyo was there, and Naraku was there and Kagome was there and Sango was there and--"
"Miroku, for god's sakes, get some pants on!" Inu Yasha shouted shielding his eyes with the Friday paper.
"Wait a minute," Miroku said, "have you seen the front page of the paper yet?"
"No, you know I only read the comics. Why what's on the--Oh my god, Naraku and my brother are dead!" Inu Yasha shouted as he looked at the front page where a picture of his brother and Naraku were lying down on the ground with dried blood on their necks was portrayed under the heading: 'Two Paranormal Scientists Found Murdered, Murderer(s) Still at Large.'
"He's gone..." Inu Yasha said putting his face in his arms on the table, and beginning to shake.
"Oh, Inu Yasha I'm sure your brother's gone to a bet--" Miroku started, placing a hand on Inu Yasha's shoulder. "You're laughing aren't you?" He finished dryly.
"Yep! This is great! Now that Sesshoumaru's gone I get my parents' fortune!" Inu Yasha started jumping up and down gleefully.
"It's good to see that you care sooo much about your family..." Miroku sighed.
"Uh-huh, mhm, uh-huh, mhm!" Inu Yasha shouted while dancing around the kitchen.
"Seriously dude, you can stop now." Miroku told him. "I mean it!"

"Hey, Kagome look on the bright side!" Sango said patting her friend on the shoulder, "at least you are back to normal."
"Yeah, but you know those guys we killed? They're on the front page of the paper, and one with black hair is Kikyo's old boyfriend!" Kagome said in frustration.
"That one with the black hair.....that was Lord Naraku? So?" Sango asked not seeing what had her friend so depressed.
"Kikyo will come here, for the funeral, she'll find us, she'll demand that we go back with her or have us killed...of found out by the slayers...or, or, or, she'll take Inu Yasha away and I'll be lonely!...did I just say that out loud?" Kagome asked looking horrified.
"Yes, but why would you be worried about that? It's not like you're in love with him or anything, right?" Sango asked staring Kagome in the face.
"Well-I-er...not in love really...more like I have a strong physical attraction to him...or something..." Kagome mumbled, placing her fingertips together nervously.
"Oh boy..." Sango managed to say.

"Do do do do do Inspector Gadget, Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do do do, Do do do do do Inspector Gadget, Do do do do do do do!"
"Kagome, you're supposed to answer the phone, not sing along with it!" Ayame shouted.
"Oh, right." Kagome said grabbing the cell phone and answering it, "Hello, you've got Kagome Higurashi."
"Hey Kagome, it's Inu Yasha, I was just calling to ask if you were going to school today." Inu Yasha said.
"Uh, sure, but aren't they still investigating the murder of those two men?" Kagome asked somewhat nervously.
"Nah, they're as finished as they're gonna get." Inu Yasha replied.
"Okay, then we'll be there." She replied. "Buhbye."
"Bye," He answered.
Both of them hung up their phones.
"Okay girls, looks like we're going to school today." Kagome announced.
A collective groan went through the room.
Sango decided to speak, "What about your psychic abilities? As soon as we go near that scene, won't you see the whole incident over again?"
"Er---probably, but it's a chance I'm willing to take so that I don't seem like a liar." Kagome answered.
"Why don't we just avoid the scene?" Nazuna asked.
"Because, Yuka was killed by Hojo on the only other way to the school." Kagome spat bitterly.
"Oh, I understand, you would rather see Yuka killing than being killed." Ayame concluded.
"Yes, that's exactly it. Maybe some other day I'll go see what happened but today that's just something I don't need to see." Kagome answered, tears forming in her eyes.

"Yay! School!" Miroku shouted gleefully.
Inu Yasha flashed Miroku a 'you're-so-crazy-that-i-don't-know-why-i-even-bother-being-your-friend' look. "You're crazy. Why would you want to go to school?"
"Sango will be there, and there's no doubt that she's still upset over Yuka's 'tragic' death, so she'll need a shoulder to cry on." Miroku said matter-of-factly.
"You do realize that she still has...1...2...3...4....4 friends to cry on." Inu Yasha told him.
"-Gasp- You can count?" Miroku asked looking astonished.
Inu Yasha bopped him over the head. "Shut up dumbass."
"Why are we walking to the school anyway?" Miroku asked suddenly.
Inu Yasha looked as if he just noticed that they were walking. "...hmm... I dunno..."
"Oh look! There's Sango!" Miroku shouted joyously.
-()-
"Oh joy." Sango said dryly, as she heard Miroku's unmistakable squeal.
"Poor Sango..." Nazuna said shaking her head.
"Hello Inu Yasha, Miroku." Kagome said nodding her head towards each one as she said their name.
"Shall we go into the school?" Inu Yasha asked offering an arm to Kagome.
She blushed lightly and took it, ignoring the pointed glare from Sango.
"We should get going shouldn't we?" Miroku asked grabbing Sango's arm before she could protest and dragging her towards the school.
"Oh...grr," Kagome muttered clutching her head with her free arm.
"What's wrong Kagome?" Inu Yasha asked concernedly.
"Oh nothing, just a bit of a head ache..." She replied, before fainting.
Inu Yasha caught her easily. "What's wrong with her?"
"She hasn't gotten much sleep because of the whole Yuka and Hojo thing... she's probably just tired." Sango told, hoping to goodness that he couldn't smell her lie.
"Oh, okay, I'll just take her to my place then. You guys just go to school." He told them waving them towards the school.

"Do you think it was really a good idea to let Inu Yasha take Kagome to his house?" Ayame asked, chewing her bottom lip nervously.
"Yes, for the billionth time, I trust Kagome...." Sango replied, staring off into space.
"What's wrong Sango?" Eri asked waving a hand in front of Sango's face.
"Nothing...it's just something Kagome told me, that's all." Sango replied distractedly.
"What'd she say?" Nazuna questioned looking Sango in the face.
"She said--" Sango started but was cut off by a noise outside the door.
"Sango my sweet," the noise called "you've been in there almost an hour, come out now."
Sango sighed, but was grateful for the chance to get out of there. "Coming..."
Sango got up and ran out of the room.

"Wh--where am I?" Kagome stuttered sleepily as she came to.
"You're at my house." A masculine voice informed her.
It took her a moment to register who the voice belonged to. Before she could say anything though, Inu Yasha asked her, "Can I ask you a question?"
"You didn't give me much choice there did ya?" She asked dryly.
"Whatever, I wanna ask you a question about Yuka." Inu Yasha told her solemnly.
"Listen, she didn't do drugs, or drink alcohol if that's what--" Kagome was cut off by Inu Yasha.
"Nothing like that." He assured her. "I wanted to ask what those marks n her neck were really from."
"Oh, that again...she uh...she fell and impaled her neck with a pair of scissors the first and the second time...she uh fell...again?" Kagome stated lamely.
"That's bullshit and you know it." He told her calmly, not bothering to raise his voice. "I want to know the truth."
"The truth?" She spat, "You can't handle the truth!"
"That's like so dramatic..." Inu Yasha informed her.
"Fine I'll tell you, after my head ache goes away..." She pouted.
