Chapter l0: Sigh
With Inuyasha and the gang…
Sango sighed. Kikyo. Again. Only this time, she was here to take over Kagome's place. Inuyasha had been acting strangely, like he didn't have any control over himself. Sango still remembered the conversation that had stuck them with Kikyo very clearly…
Flashback
"Inuyasha," The clay figure said seductively, reminding Sango of a poisonous snake, "Have you gotten rid of the wench?" Inuyasha turned around to retort when he looked Kikyo in the eye. His golden orbs dimmed and he replied in a monotone voice.
"Yes, Kikyo," Inuyasha said with a gooey emphasis on Kikyo. Kikyo smiled and came closer, twisting a lock of silver hair around her finger. Sango was baffled. How could Inuyasha say that? She's have rather fought 100 demons hand-to-hand than have to listen to that empty witch insult Kagome. Her anger was momentarily interrupted by the incarnation of her best friend.
"Good," Kikyo said in a lower tone, "I'll gladly help you find the shards." Sango started to protest and reached for her Hiraikotsu when Inuyasha again cut her off.
"Yes Kikyo." 'But, But, Inuyasha…' Sango thought, 'What happened? How could you forget about Kagome?' Sango immediately walked toward Kikyo to confront her but was stopped by a snarling hanyou. 'Inuyasha's eyes…' she thought, 'They're empty…' Sango continued by shouting at Kikyo.
"You think you can just waltz in and take over Kagome's place! No, I'll not let you!" Kikyo leaned her head back and laughed coldly. Her faint aura darkened and Inuyasha smiled with an evil air, a smile that wasn't his own.
"Demon Slayer, I don't believe you have a choice."
With Sesshomaru…
"You are doing well, girl. I shall continue to go easy on you."
Kagome panted lightly as she dodged Sesshomaru's claws again. She reacted quickly and reached for Sesshomaru with her dainty talons, of course Sesshomaru immediately dodged. A force around her wrist signaled that he had stopped her hand. Sesshomaru smirked. Kagome frowned, and then smirked herself. 'What is she smirking about, I've got her by the wrist, out of reach of her other arm.' Sesshomaru thought with annoyance. He barely had time to continue that thought when the skin on his hand started burning. He backed up immediately, barely keeping control of his mask. Kagome smirked again. 'Ha!' she thought triumphantly, 'Mr.-I-am-to-important-to-speak-to-you-so-I'll-just-smirk is meeting his match!' She didn't have time to think though; she saw the Tenseiga flying towards her. Kagome realized she hadn't grabbed a weapon! What she wouldn't give for a light sword! Clang! Kagome heard the sound of metal on metal and looked in her hands. A glowing blue sword was in her hands. 'Whoa,' she thought, 'Weird…' 'Interesting, she is able to provide somewhat of a match for me even with her lack of training or expertise. It is annoying,' Sesshomaru thought, 'And she also remains a miko. No youkai has ever been pure enough…" Clang! Sesshomaru had been distracted, and Kagome had noticed. She had dealt him a hard slash, barely giving him time to block. Kagome saw her window of opportunity and slashed him swiftly across the shoulder of his left. Sesshomaru barely flinched, but his shoulder gushed blood. Kagome squeaked, and dropped her sword.
"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry! Sesshomaru are you okay?" Kagome said worriedly as she rushed over to Sesshomaru. Her head bent down on his injury and she began to cry. Sesshomaru was aghast. Yes, Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands, stared at the little miko in awe. How could she be so caring to one that had been dueling her?
He regained his composure and tried to comfort the girl.
"Kagome…" Sesshomaru said softly. He felt a small tingling feeling on his left stump of a shoulder and looked to see it engulfed in a soft blue, wispy light. His amber eyes widened.
He was looking at his arm.
With Naraku…
"Excellent," a dark figure said, the voice barely over a whisper, "With that miko reincarnation gone, I have free reign to take over the group." The voice leaned back and laughed. A shudder went through a white-clad wind sorceress at the end of the room. "Yet that pesky miko may come into play again, though I believe Sesshomaru will choose to kill her by then. They will keep each other occupied, nonetheless. And I believe that I will get rid of them when I have the jewel shards, that Kikyo should surely be kind enough to give me… They're working for me, and they don't have a clue. The voice laughed again, and Kagura shivered again. 'Perhaps not, Naraku,' she thought, pulling a feather out of her hair, 'You have oppressed me for so long, your soul consumes mine.'
'No, Naraku. Perhaps not.'
