The Plan
Kikyo left the castle and let her soul stealers lift her up and flew away from it. I almost had the life I deserved. How could Inuyasha destroy everything for me. If he hadn't tried to claim her copy we could be living in the palace with his brother and never want for anything ever again. But no, he couldn't be happy with just her he had to try and get her copy too. When I get through with him and my copy they will wish they had never embarrassed me in such a way. I will begin with Inuyasha, he will try and find my copy and I will be by his side every step of the way. She spoke to her soul stealers and told them to take her to Inuyasha's forest. He would go there to regroup and she would find him and start her plan of vengeance.
Kaede rode into the village and left the horse to a villager to care for, then waited for Sango to land beside her. "Inuyasha will likely come as soon as he smells your scent. We must get ye to Miroku and get ye away from the village before he can ask ye any information on Kagome. It is for her safety that we must not tell him where she is. He has not been in his right mind lately and it is hard to tell what he would do if he found her." Kaede took Sango's arm and led her into the forest to the new huts. They found Miroku leaning against the well in front of the hut.
Miroku stood up as soon as he saw Kaede enter the clearing and started walking to her. Then he saw Sango appear behind her and ran to the taijiya. "Sango how did you come to be here?" He picks her up in his arms and twirls her around. Then crushes her to his chest.
Sango tried to catch her breath but Miroku was holding her to tight. "Miroku, I can't breath." She gulped in air when he released her and if she didn't feel so sick from being twirled around she would have whapped him over the head.
Miroku knelt down and took Sango's hand in his. "I am sorry Sango but I was just over come with emotion seeing you again."
Kaede watched the couple and smiled. "I hate to interrupt your reunion but ye both must soon depart for a little while. But before ye leave I have something I must do." She drug both of them into the hut and placed them beside each other. "I made a promise and now it is time to make it so."
Sango and Miroku looked at each other then at Kaede. Surely she didn't mean what she was saying. But before either of them could do anything about it Kaede had muttered a few words and then tied a string around their hands joining them as husband and wife. (if anyone has any information on weddings in feudal japan please let me know.)
Kaede faced the couple and steered them out of the hut. "I have up held my part of the bargain. Now go visit Sango's old village for a while. I will send word when it is safe to return." She felt a demonic presence heading toward them at a fast pace. "Inuyasha is coming now take off I will deal with the hanyou." She watched the slayer and the monk jump on the neko youkai and fly away. A few minutes later she was faced with Inuyasha as he came jumping through the trees.
"Where is Sango and Miroku? I smell her scent here and it wasn't yesterday." He sniffed the air around the hut then returned to Kaede's side. "Where is she and when did she return?"
"I do not know of what ye mean Inuyasha. Sango is not here nor have I seen Miroku now that ye mentioned it. I just came to deliver some of the taijiya's kimono's to her hut. Maybe that is why ye smell her scent for I can think of no other reason her scent would be here. Didn't ye tell me that your brother had her. Maybe the monk went to visit her. I must return to the village. I have a sick child to visit." With that said Kaede turned from the hanyou and left.
Inuyasha could tell she was hiding something from him but he didn't know what. He sniffed the air and could still smell Sango's scent at least he could until the scent of death and decay entered his nose. So much for tracking them now. All I can smell is Kikyo. Well might as well see if I can make amends with her since I won't be seeing Kagome lately. He headed off into the forest to find his mate. I just hope she isn't too mad at me. He found her waiting for him by the god tree. "Hi Kikyo."
"Inuyasha" Kikyo sat down and leaned against the tree. "You realize that I should be really mad at you for what you have done."
Inuyasha stared at her in shock. So maybe she isn't as mad as I expected. This would be easy then. "So does that mean your not mad at me?"
"Of course not. I am still upset with you but I understand why you did what you did. You didn't want to leave your friend in your brothers clutches. And even if it went against everything you stand for you had to do what you could to rescue her. I know that I come first to you but Kagome holds a place in your heart also and I must live with her being your friend. Now that we are away from your brother why don't we see what we can find out about her where abouts. I will help you rescue her from where ever he sent her." Kikyo held her breath until she could tell that Inuyasha fell for her plan. With his help she would get her revenge on her copy for the last and final time. She leaned over and snuggled up to Inuyasha. Can't let him know how mad I am at him. Till my plan works out I will do what ever it takes to keep him on my side.
Inuyasha couldn't believe his luck. Kikyo wasn't too upset with him and now she wanted to help him rescue Kagome. And when they rescued her he would cast Kikyo aside and take Kagome as his true mate. She would be his forever. The first thing they had to do was find out where she was. And the first person they would ask would be Koga. He might know where Sesshomaru sent Kagome since he also requested to mate her. "We leave tomorrow for the wolf den. We have to find Koga."
