Chapter 9: Trap

Disclaimer: no I don't own the Inuyasha characters but I do own Mike, Miko and Baba. I feel so proud.

Rae-orri: Well…. As you could see I decided to not delete it, it wouldn't be fair to all of you fans who are actually out there. Also those reviews you sent also touched me and showed that this story means a lot to all of you. That and my good friend Melissa would kill me if I stopped it.

Last time…

Koga stared in confusion. 'Could Mike be the one she's in love with' He remembered hearing Inuyasha's pained voice. "Kagome, before you chose, get your memories back, and give Inuyasha a chance." He smiled one last time hugging her hand racing off. Kagome blinked in confusion. "Could he know about Naraku's warning to me?" She wondered. Kagome smiled, the wind blowing through her hair as the dust faded from where Koga last stood. "I mat not remember you Koga. But you must have been a great guy." She sighed sniffing the air. "Better go see what's going on with Inuyasha." She placed the bowel down and ran off towards Inuyasha scent.

As soon as she jumped off a shadow figure came to the spot she last stood, knocking over the bowel full of water. He smirked speaking to himself in a deep voice. "Inuyasha, I will make Kagome slowly lose trust in you." He laughed a deep laugh following Inuyasha's scent.

This Time…

Inuyasha kicked some rocks as they landed into the water. He put his hands in his pocket and leaned over seeing an inu hanyou stare about at him. He watched his reflection for minute then growled as he kicked the ice cold water with his feet. He walked back as his back hit the tree, he felt like such an idiot. "I should have known, she doesn't want her own kind, she wants a human, someone she could trust well you know what, she can have that damn human. Who gives a fuck! She's just another person who doesn't like me, never has and never was. I'm such an idiot thinking she would be different then Kikyo or any other human." He took a beep breath, looking to the side he suns rays s sun began to set. He couldn't help but remember the time he watched the sun set with Kagome, it was the night before the finally battle, his last night with her before her death. He never forgot that moment; it's always stayed fresh in his mind. He snapped out of his thoughts sensing someone come near him. Looking from side to side he saw someone emerge for the shadows of the forest. He gasped at the sight before him, "Naraku!" He yelled clenching his teeth, his hand in a fist prepared to fight, "So it's true then, you haven't died just yet!" He yelled at the baboon pelt in front of him.

Naraku laughed his cold chilling laugh, "Somewhat right Inuyasha, but then again you were never the type to be the smart one. You see…" He said trailing off as he removed the top of his baboon pelt, "I' m more then just Naraku."

Inuyasha's eyes grew to the size of tennis, "I knew there was something up with you Mike," He stared at Mike, "So who is it, Mike or Naraku?" Inuyasha asked, his eyes snapped open sensing Naraku right up to his ear.

Naraku, using demon abilities went right up to Inuyasha's ear and whispered, "I'm only in this body to get close to her."

Inuyasha growled unsheathing his sword and swung it at him, "Don't you dare lay a finger on her!" He yelled holding his sword in front of him getting ready to fight.

Naraku let out a small laugh, "I'll admit I was weak after the blast from that sword of your, so I hid as a human named Mike. Once I found out Kagome was born I couldn't help but more into her village, saving her life I got the credit and she soon fell in love with me" Naraku smirked, "But I'm sure you would have figured that out."

Inuyasha growled louder, "Your dead this time you bastard!" He yelled running towards him with his tedsuiga (sp?). Naraku dodged it, but Inuyasha was still able to leave a cut in his chest. He smirked jumping back, "I guess taking a human form has made you weaker too!" He yelled running towards him again. Naraku smirked knocking Inuyasha sword of his hand. Inuyasha jumped up repelling off of a tree flying towards Naraku, "Iron Rever Soul Stealer!" He yelled cutting into Naraku's skin. In return Naraku scratched his neck, not understanding him he jumped back. He touched his neck, it was barley bleeding. 'Is Naraku letting me hit him? But why he's acting so weak.' Deciding to ignore it he launched himself back at Naraku.

They continued to fight until Inuyasha was on top of Naraku beating him to a pulp, he had to admit he didn't understand why Naraku was so weak but he didn't care at the time, all that matter was Naraku being dead. He was about to hit the finally blow when he herd a gasp, looking up her saw a shocked Kagome. That's when Naraku's plan hit him.

Kagome ran through the forest until she came a pond Mike and Inuyasha fighting. She gasped running to Mike. She grabbed Inuyasha off of him and laid her head on her chest, "Mike say something are you alright? Of chores you're not your bleeding badly!" She turned to Inuyasha, "What has gotten into you!" She asked yelling.

Inuyasha stared with wide eyes; there was so much emotion that he saw in her golden eyes. "But Kagome he's not who you think he is!" He began arguing back.

Kagome shook his head, "What the hell are you talking about! It's Mike…" Then it hit her, "Your jealous aren't you Inuyasha? Ever since Mike has been here you've been acting strange and now… I know why." Tears formed in her eyes, "How could you Inuyasha… I thought you cared." She looked up tears falling down her face, "I thought you would be happy for me! I guess… you've never been happy for me." She smirked just a little, "That explains why in all my dreams we fought, w never understood each other." She paused for a minute. "I've made my decision..."

Inuyasha's ears twitched, it broke his heart seeing Kagome like this, she looked so heart broken, betrayed. He listened closely to the last thing Kagome said before running off.

She placed Mike carefully on her back, "Mike… I choose Mike." With that she ran off.

Inuyasha stayed in the same spot, shocked at what he just herd. Just as she ran off he saw Naraku smirk, "It was his plan… all along." His head went down as Kagome's cruel words repeated in his head, 'I've made my decision, I choose Mike.' "Does that mean she was considering me?" He thought for a moment walking around in random places, "Maybe it's for the best that she doesn't remember." He looked up and found the god tree in front of him. He smirked remembering the first time he met Kagome. He closed his eyes remembering how she kept telling she wasn't Kiyo. He couldn't help but smirked just a little. He sighed turning around and walking down the stone path. He past by the well, an image of Kagome getting ready to jump down the well appeared if front of him 'I'll be back soon Inuyasha!' He herd her voice reassuring him that she wouldn't leave him, "But you did" He whispered to himself.

Slowly walking by the well he finally reached the hut. He leaned against the wall and sighed listen to the conversation in side, he herd Kagome's sobbing tears. He shook his head not believing he fell for Naraku's tricks. His ears twitched hearing someone emerge from the hut. He looked up and relaxed, it wasn't Kagome. He closed his eyes again, "What do you want monk?" He asked not wanting to talk to anyone for the moment.

Miroku sighed scratching the back of his head, "Kagome told us what happened." He paused for a moment. "I know your mad, but you don't have to beat the guy."

Inuyasha's eyes twitched, "I didn't do anything god damn it!"

Miroku nodded, "SURE you didn't."

Inuyasha clenched his hand in a fist and bonked Miroku on the head. "Follow me monk, I don't want little miss wrench hearing." He walked with Miroku in silence until Inuyasha thought they were far enough. "Haven't you felt a weird aura around him?"

Miroku nodded, "Yes as a matter a fact I have."

Inuyasha nodded, "Well he gives off a demon scent, he's not who everyone thinks he is. He's Naraku"

Miroku thought for a moment, "It can't be, Naraku is dead." He looked at his now hole free hand. "My curse lifted when we killed him."

Inuyasha leaned against a tree bark. "He came to me and show himself. From what I know he was weak and took the form of a human until he was able to re build his strength. He's pretending to act as though he loves Kagome to get to her. But I don't understand why"

Miroku stroked his chin, "Isn't it obvious? He wants the jewel."

Inuyasha's head jerked up, "But when Kagome died the jewel vanished!"

Miroku sighed, "Maybe the jewel was reborn into Kagome's body."

"But then why didn't he just slice her open and get the jewel out?"

Miroku smirked, "You're not to bright are you"

"Shut up monk!"

"It happened to you once before didn't it? He's trying to taint the jewel with hatred like he did sixty years ago."

Inuyasha's eyes grew finally realizing it, "That's why he made me attack him, to seem like I was killing him in front f Kagome.

Miroku nodded, "But it seems his plan didn't work"

Inuyasha's head shot up and stared at Miroku, "What are you talking about monk!"

Miroku laughed just a little, "You really aren't smart, if it was tainted don't you think he would have killed her by now? It must be Kagome; she can't have that much hared for you I guess."

Inuyasha's face brighten just bit, "So yr saying she doesn't hate me?"

Miroku sighed, "Well I wouldn't say that, ore like she doesn't hate you enough for the jewel to be tainted with evil. Remember Kagome' always had been the one to forgive easily."

Inuyasha nodded, he's always done stupid things to her, yet in the end she's always forgiven him, "So what are we going to do?"

Miroku shrugged, "The best thing I could think of right now is to get her memories back, and she'd remember Naraku a lot better, also remember how to trust you."

Inuyasha sighed, "There's one problem monk… HOW?!" Inuyasha yelled in rage.

Miroku smirked, "I have some ideas." Were his last words before he walked back to Keade's hut.
