The Accident in Chemistry Class

Chapter 13: Attack the Shrine; Part II/Kidnapped!

Disclaimer: Nope, never will own 'em. I'm not too bummed about it, though. I mean, it'd be so hard to be watching after InuYasha all the time, with all the trouble he causes! Sorry, Inu.

InuYasha slashed at the empty air space in front of him with his Wind Scar attack against the coyote demon. It howled in pain as its body split.

"InuYasha!" Kikyou cried hoarsely. "Even if a coyote's head is cut off, it can still bite!"

"Huh?" InuYasha muttered with a confused expression on his face as he glanced her way.

What did she mean, 'it can still bite'?

"Auuugh!" InuYasha growled as the coyote's head lunged at him and bit his arm. "Damn it!" There was now a large, torn gash all the way up InuYasha's arm. The inu-hanyou gingerly touched the jagged skin as the blood seeped through. "Flying Blade Blood Claws!"

The coyote demon was finally finished.

InuYasha slumped over against Tetsusaiga and sighed, exhausted.

"Kikyou?" he finally asked after a while.

He turned around.

Damn it, no! This whole thing was a diversion! Damn it, damn it all!

Kikyou was no where to be found and all the demons had subsided.

"InuYasha?"

InuYasha's heart skipped a beat, and then dropped again as he realized it was Kagome talking to him, not Kikyou. It's not that he didn't like Kagome as a person or whatnot, but Kikyou had mysteriously vanished and so had the demons.

"What?" he spat.

"...Where's Kikyou?" she added with a sour note. "She get fed up with you or something?"

"SHUT UP!" InuYasha growled, fingering the sheathed Tessaiga. Kagome had a lump in her throat. "Why don't you like Kikyou, Kagome, huh? Are you jealous of her or somethin'!"

Kagome stared at her feet, which she found more interesting than this choice topic of conversation.

"Kagome...just...please, answer me, okay?" InuYasha said quietly.

The schoolgirl froze.

He never, never said 'please'...

Was it that important or that serious to him?

She found it very difficult to speak.

"I...it's just...it's so hard to get any respect because everybody loves her and I feel like second-rate compared to her!" Kagome confessed and found that she was clenching her fists so hard her knuckles were turning white.

"Kagome, is that really it? God, what makes you think that!" InuYasha paused. "Listen, there's no time to talk about this. Kikyou's missing and the demons are gone, too. I think there was a reason behind all this, somehow, someone knew Kikyou would come here. So we've gotta find her. C'mon, get on my back, it's faster than if you turn into your inu-hanyou form!"

Kagome clambered onto InuYasha's back.

"Use your inu-hanyou form! Maybe you can nose them out!" InuYasha said to her as the flew into the depths of Tokyo.

It shouldn't be too hard to find a horde of demons and a missing priestess in a city like this, right? Demons should cause plenty of attention.


"Uh, InuYasha? I don't think Kikyou is here anymore..." Kagome sighed. "Let's try going throught the Well?"

"Fine, I don't sense their demonic aura anywhere..." InuYasha groaned.

The hanyous entered the Higurashi shrine again and leapt down the Well.

"Kaede!" Kagome cried. "Is Kikyou here?"

"No, tis not. Why ye ask?" Kaede responded, troubled somewhat.

"Um..." Kagome flushed and pushed InuYasha forward.

"Kikyou's gone!" InuYasha burst, folding his arms and closing his eyes shut tightly.


Kikyou opened her eyes as she came back to consciousness. Slightly startled, she found that she was no longer in the future era, but back in her past. The priestess narrowed her eyes as she saw a small white figure kneeling nearby. Kikyou then realized she was inside a room, probably in a castle. The white figure was a little girl with a white robe, white hair, and white skin with black eyes that contrasted deeply. She was holding a mirror.

"What is it that you want with me...Naraku?" Kikyou asked slowly, a serious, yet bored look on her face. She glared into the mirror and saw a man's face in its reflection instead of her own. He merely chuckled at the sight of her.

"Kikyou, do you not see? It is not you this time that I want, but InuYasha and Kagome... That girl is your reincarnation, is she not? Also, InuYasha will risk anything to come to your aid, would he not? I'm surprised that even you did not realize that."

"How do you know about the girl, Naraku?" Kikyou asked quietly, casting him a suspicious look.

Naraku laughed quietly, "Kanna here with her mirror is so very useful to my advantage. Of course, I've been watching her for quite some time now..." he trailed off with a cold silence.

Naraku was a hanyou, but he looked human. He had long, wavy black hair, red eyes with blue shadow on his eyelids, a demon appearance.


"Damn it all!" InuYasha cursed to himself as Kagome ran alongside him. She wanted to test out her inu-hanyou speed. "Where could Kikyou be! I hope that Naraku..." he cut himself off as he noticed Kagome glancing at him curiously.

'Who's Naraku?' she thought to herself as she flew along the path with InuYasha. 'InuYasha's never mentioned about this guy before...'

Suddenly a loud buzzing filled the two's ears and Kagome fell to the ground on her knees, clamping her hands over her dog ears.

"InuYasha, what is that?" she cried. "What's making all this noise, it's hurting my ears!"

I can only hope it's not...' InuYasha thought, but shook his head as he ran back to Kagome.
