Finding What Was Lost
By: Sanci J
Chapter 12: Poisoned Food and Kimisa's Jealousy
Last Chapter...
"Go." The voice commanded and disappeared.
Kimisa relaxed a little and returned her gaze back to the village. She didn't see Miroku and flew off the rock. She looked as she ran, but he was nowhere in sight. He wasn't at the same spot she had recently seen him in either. 'Where is he?' she thought, searching frantically for him.
End of Chapter.
Sango couldn't sit around and helplessly wait for Inuyasha to find her. By then...who knows what could happen to her. She had to escape.
Sango had been stretching her leg and taking proper care of it so it would heal nicely. Now it only hurt if it was twisted or if it had too much pressure on it. She smiled at the thought of seeing her friends again, but at the sound of soft footsteps coming into the cave, it disappeared. Her gaze rose from her healing leg to Picura, who carried a basket.
She smelled something delicious coming from it and tried to act like she hadn't been starving all day. "Where did you go?" she asked, trying to make conversation.
His emotionless gray eyes swept to hers and he was surprised to see her standing up. He looked away and set the basket down next to her bed mat. "Here is a meal to pacify you for the time being. Eat." He reached into the basket, bringing out a bowl of rice.
Sango felt the sudden urge to lick her lips when she saw steam rise. They sat down.
"Oh!" She cried and grabbed the bowl. She was about to put a chunk of the rice into her mouth when she noticed that Picura was staring at her. She hesitated and her stomach growled. "What did you do to the food?"
"What are you talking about? Eat." He replied, annoyed.
"Did-did you poison this?" she whispered, looking into his dark eyes.
One of his eyebrows lifted. "You think I poisoned your meal?"
She sighed with longing and set the full steaming bowl of rice down, ignoring the rumbling in her stomach. "Yes, I do. For one, you aren't eating with me. And two, your staring at me, just waiting for me to eat it so I'll keel over." She spit out angrily and pointed at him accusingly. "Am I right?"
His eyes narrowed. "Actually, you are quite right. I did try to poison you. But apparently, you're too smart to fall for that."
Her eyes widened in surprise. "You really poisoned the food then?" she questioned. Naturally she would have figured he would deny it. But he didn't. Why? Was this some test?
"Yes. But only that piece of rice though." He took a second bowl out of the basket and held it out to her. "Here. This one is not poisoned."
Sango laughed. "You idiot. You think I'm going to fall for that?"
His face still harbored a serious look. "Well, yes. It isn't poisoned."
"How am I supposed to know if it's poisoned or not?" She picked some rice up with her chopsticks and brought it to his mouth. "I'll only eat it if you try it first. Then I'll know if it's alright to eat it or not."
Picura inwardly seethed and felt like force feeding her. "You do know I could force you to eat this?" he asked in all seriousness. He was still a little surprised at how she had observed him and could tell his actions before he had done anything. He really had poisoned the first bowl of rice, but the second one only was half poisoned. He hadn't planned on even having to use the second one, considering if she could last that long. Now she was practically forcing him to eat! He wouldn't have eaten it even if it wasn't poisoned; he had already eaten. He growled.
Sango sat there, still holding the chopsticks in front of his face. "If you don't eat it, then I won't eat it. Come on, you've got to be a little hungry."
"You could say I'm hungry, but food isn't what I'm talking about."
Sango's eyes got huge when she saw his gray eyes darken to that beautiful mysterious color. His words fused themselves in her head. He was so seductive....
He pushed the chopsticks away. "I already ate. Enough is enough, woman! Just eat it!"
"No." she said tightly. "I can't believe you just expect me to dig in when it's a bowl full of poison! Anyways, I'm almost fully recovered so I can leave now." Sango stood up and retrieved her boomerang and fondly patted it. She turned her back towards him still sitting on the ground and said, "Thanks a lot for helping me and all, but I have to go." She walked on ahead through the cave without even a backwards glance.
Just as she reached the light at the end of the cave, Picura stepped in front of her. He grabbed her forearms and shoved her back against the wall.
"What the-"she breathed, right before he covered her mouth with his hand.
"Shut up!" he said and cocked his head at the end of the cave. "They're out there...lurking in the shadows."
"What?" Sango asked, but it was muffled against his cool hand.
"Shh!" he whispered at her ear and she shivered. "When I let you go, don't make a single noise or I'll kill you." He threatened.
He was serious.
She nodded slowly and he let go. She remained true to her word and stayed silent.

"I don't think so Kikyou. You're lying to me." Inuyasha said. "You're planning on trapping me. I'm not that stupid!"
Kikyou looked up at him, her eyes glassy as she gripped his haori. "I will not do anything to you Inuyasha. Don't you trust me?"
He sighed. "Are you trying to say that you and Naraku are enemies?" Inuyasha inquired.
"We have been for a long time." Kikyou looked around. "Where are your human friends?"
He stared at her suspiciously. "So, you don't know what's going on?"
"No...I don't." Kikyou frowned. So...Inuyasha doubted her affection, did he? "Have you finally rid yourself of them?" She let go of his haori.
He narrowed his eyes at her. "No. Shippou was kidnapped by Naraku, Sango was injured and was also kidnapped but by a full demon, and I don't know what happened to Miroku...he's probably being a lech, like always in the village." He finished.
Kikyou waited for him to mention her reincarnation but he didn't. "What about the girl..."
"What girl?"
"My copy...that looks nothing like me." Kikyou said impatiently.
Inuyasha perplexed. "She's-around...somewhere. Maybe collecting herbs." He lied. "And her name is Ka-go-me Kikyou."
Kikyou didn't respond. She had led Inuyasha away from Naraku's trap without him even knowing. She sighed. He could be so dense, not knowing danger when it was looking him in the face. 'That doesn't matter anymore. I need to capture my reincarnation, Kagome.'
.

Kagome stared ahead in a daze at the priest before her putting young Ruraouru's body to rest.
The priest continued with a long speech while Kagome's mind drifted to Ruraouru. She hadn't known him, yet when he died, she had cried along with his father. This was the cause of a heartless demon: a destroyed village, and innocent people killed in cold blood. She stared down at the small grave where the boy's dead body now lay, letting a tear cascade down her cheek. She cried for more than the loss of the boy, but for everyone who had died from the anonymous demon.
Kagome lost her train of thought when she heard other voices coming from the far left and looked over where another person was being buried. She was about to revert her attention back to the priest when she recognized a familiar black outfit and gaped when she saw black hair pulled back in a ponytail. 'It's Miroku!'
She was about to run over to him, but remembered she was in the middle of a funeral. She really did want to talk with Miroku...
Kagome stood there, her piercing dark eyes scanning the area for a certain silver haired hanyou and the rest of the group but they were nowhere in sight. Only Miroku was. She groaned when she saw Miroku's hands closing in on a young woman's butt. 'Back to his old tricks again...I wonder though why Sango didn't accompany him. Usually she can't trust him to be alone anywhere without a guard.' Kagome smiled wryly. 'I highly doubt Miroku thinks of her coming along as his guard. Then again, neither do I.'
.
.
Kimisa was still blindly searching for Miroku without any luck. 'Where the hells is he?' she thought, her anger rising steadily. Just then she saw that girl again. What was her name? Sano? 'No...Sango. That dirty kniving wench.' Kimisa hoped they hadn't seen one another. She went around the side of a half broken down hut when she heard Miroku's voice. She looked to where the voice came from and saw him leaning over a dead body next to a young girl.
"Miroku!" she said with relief and jumped over a large roof shingle.
Miroku didn't hear her because he was too busy speaking with the stunningly beautiful woman at his side. "Will you bear my child?" he asked, his face staring at the girl seriously, her hands in his.
Kimisa gaped and her eyes fired up red.
The woman next to him laughed and Miroku's eyebrows lifted in bewilderment.
"What?" he asked.
"Sir monk, I do not bear any man's children. But...if you pay me well enough, I may consider." She said, shyly moving closer to him.
"P-Pay well?" he practically squeaked out when he realized exactly what she had meant.
"Yes...how much will you pay?" she asked, twisting a lock of her brown hair around her finger as she smiled at him.
"Umm...however much you want." He said slowly and her grin widened.
His perverted hand inched back to her butt, and Kimisa stared in shock at what she saw. Her temper flared dangerously. 'She will not have him. He...he is mine. I want to rip her to pieces!' Her eyes turned a deep red and she slowly transformed. She seethed with hatred and anger. Mostly jealousy. She went to the forest. 'I can see them from here. I'll lure her out here where we cannot be seen and be rid of her. I will gladly kill if anyone gets in the way of darling Miroku and I. I need him under my full powers, damnit!' Her eyes narrowed as she carefully hid behind a large rock.
Just then Miroku decided to look up and Kimisa quickly hid out of his sight again.
"There is a demon nearby." Miroku's eyes searched the grounds, sweeping past the funeral of a young boy. Kimisa wasn't in sight. Where was she? His brow furrowed. Where could she be?
A hand landed on his upper arm and he quickly removed his from her posterior, hoping Kimisa wasn't around. He cleared his throat and stood. "I am sorry miss, but it is time for me to go. I do apologize."
The girl stared at him clearly stunned. "What?" She had been taken aback by Miroku's sudden decisiveness to abruptly leave.
He reached down and patted her hand. "Maybe some other time, sweetheart."
Kimisa's stomach felt like burning acid and her darkened eyes widened when she heard those words. 'He did not just call that-that tavern wench a sweetheart!' Her teeth starting grinding angrily and had to hold herself back from actually running out in front of everyone and slicing the girl to pieces. She couldn't...if Miroku were to see such a deed, then he would never like her, let alone love her.
She watched when Miroku walked away from the girl and smirked. 'Now's my chance...before he foolishly takes up her request.'
Kimisa clenched her fists and slowly snuck up behind the young girl, ready to attack at any moment.

Lvsimplepln2: Yeah...he only has a memory of Naraku because he hates him so. Thanks for reading my story!
kagura(kikyo): Yeah, Jaini's party was pretty fun, huh? Isn't it sad we won't be bowling anymore for a few months? I'll miss it, but now I will have more time for homework and writing. I miss Rica! See you soon...probably at school. Yuck! Thanks, for reading still and reviewing!
Shinna: So far Inuyasha's still dense when it comes to Kagome. Can you just picture his reaction when he finds out that Kagome kept a piece of the jewel? Seems quite funny! About Picura, what do you think about him? Like...what is the first thing you think about him when you hear his name? Does he seem evil or just a lonely seductive man? Thanks, I hope you keep reading!
Kai33: Actually, I had no idea there was an actual name for her type of species. I just made up everything about her. Her mysterious powers, where they came from, and exactly what type of demon she was. She isn't a shape shifter though she might seem that way. I knew about an incubus, but not a succubus. I can say from my description of her, she isn't a succubus. But your right, the whole concept is intriguing.
