Chapter 7
Naraku and Kikyo
"Sango," Kagome whispered. Sango turned her head to Kagome and slowed her pace down so she was walking even with Kagome.
"Yes? What is it?" Sango asked as she continued to look at Kagome, she too had sensed something different about Kagome. She and Miroku had just been discussing it quietly between themselves.
"Shippo," Kagome said to the little kit sitting on her shoulder. The Youki looked up at her.
"Yes Kagome?" Kagome looked down at him with a weak smile.
"Would you go play with Kirara?" Kagome asked. Shippo nodded and jumped off of Kagome's shoulder and onto Kirara's back. The other Youki could tell from Kagome's body language that she should take Shippo away. So the Youki stopped for a few seconds to space herself and Shippo from Kagome and the others.
Kagome turned her attention back to Sango. "Sango, do you..." Kagome stopped to rethink of how to state her question. "How much do you know about demons?" Kagome tried. Sango looked at Kagome a second before replying.
"Well, my father told me a lot about them and I learned a lot from the battles I would have. Why do you ask?" Sango replied with a questioning look on her face.
"Oh, no reason, I just was wondering." Kagome said deciding against telling Sango after all. Sango wanted to press Kagome about the subject, but Kagome had already gone into a different world.
"Sango," Miroku said as he looked over his shoulder at her. Sango looked up and stepped up her pace so she was again walking next to Miroku. "Did she say anything?" He asked. Sango shook her head.
"Nothing of help," was all Sango said. The two walked on silently.
Inu-Yasha walked ahead of the group, his arms folded in his sleeves and his eyes on the road and trees around them. Inu-Yasha's ears listened to Kagome and Sango's conversation. 'What is wrong with her?' Inu-Yasha wondered. 'I can smell something different about Kagome's blood, but what is it?' Inu-Yasha stopped and the others followed.
"Kagome," Inu-Yasha asked. Kagome looked up at Inu-Yasha whose back was still to her. "Will you come here please." It was more of a command that a question. Kagome nodded and walked slowly up to Inu-Yasha. "We'll be staying here for a little while." Inu-Yasha said. The others nodded and began to spread out.
"Kagome," Inu-Yasha said as he turned to her. Kagome lifted her head, but not her eyes, she didn't want to look at Inu-Yasha now. Inu-Yasha put his finger under her chin and lifted her head. "Look at me." He said; his voice soft. Kagome lifted her eyes, she couldn't resist his voice. "What's wrong with you? Tell me, please." Inu-Yasha's voice was different some how.
"What's there to tell, I'm fine." Kagome said with a light, and weak smile. Inu-Yasha frowned at her.
"You're lying." Inu-Yasha said. Kagome frowned, her tiredness melting away some. Kagome frowned, her fangs pricking her lips as she ground her teeth together in anger.
"I am not lying." Kagome said. A drop of blood escaped from her lips and ran down her chin. Inu-Yasha blinked when he saw it. Kagome's face of anger turned to one of shock and fear.
"What's that? Why are you bleeding?" Inu-Yasha asked, worry hidden in his eyes. Kagome put her hand up to her mouth, but quickly hid it in her bag straps again. Inu-Yasha blinked at Kagome's weird behavior.
Some thing whizzed past Inu-Yasha's head at Kagome. Kagome's eyes began to flutter and she began to fall forward. "Kagome?!" Inu-Yasha shouted as he caught her before she fell to the ground.
"What is it Inu-Yasha?" Shippo asked as he ran up to the hanyou. Inu- Yasha looked around, his nose and ears tuned for the scent or sound of danger. Kagome still laying limply in his arms.
"It's Naraku!" Inu-Yasha said as he unsheathed Tetsusiaga around Kagome, holding the sword in one hand. Sango and Miroku stood up and put their backs together and looked around. "Naraku!" Inu-Yasha called, "come out!" An evil laugh echoed through the air around the group. Shippo began to shake and jumped over to Sango and Miroku, "hiding" in between their legs. Kirara transformed into her full demon form and stepped behind Sango to cover their back.
"So Inu-Yasha, I have found you again." Naraku laughed. "All according to plan..." A small demon dressed in the form of a monkey walked out of the shadows of one of the trees. Inu-Yasha pulled back in disgust at the demon puppet.
"Is that the best you've got?!" Inu-Yasha shouted to the hiding Naraku. The voice only laughed in reply. Inu-Yasha growled deeply in his throat. 'I've got to get Kagome out of here.' Inu-Yasha gritted his teeth. "Sango," Inu-Yasha said quietly, "Take Kagome and get her out of here. I'll take care of this puppet."
"Inu-Yasha, I will stay with you." Miroku said. Inu-Yasha nodded. Sango ran up to Inu-Yasha and took Kagome out of his arms.
"Don't let anything happen to her Sango." Inu-Yasha said as he handed Kagome's unconscious form over to Sango. The demon slayer nodded. She turned and began to run off.
"She won't get far." The Naraku puppet laughed. Inu-Yasha growled and took Tetsusiaga into both of his hands.
"Shut-up." Inu-Yasha growled as he ran at the puppet with Tetsusiaga outstretched in front of him. He puppet only smiled as Inu-Yasha grew closer.
"I will not be defeated that easily." The puppet said. Suddenly a dark green vine with dark blue barbs shot out of the bottom of the puppet's costume. Inu-Yasha cried out as the vine ripped through his left arm. The puppet laughed. |Poision barbs, once they are in you, you won't be living long."
Sango stopped and set Kagome down. She looked back at the fight going on behind her. She hoped Inu-Yasha was alright. "Foolish girl, she will be mine." A voice said from the tree tops. Sango looked up to see Kikyo floating down through the leaves.
"You, Kikyo..." Sango said as she scooped Kagome back up into her arms. Sango laid her against a tree and took Hiraikotsu off her back. "Did you come here to fight?" Sango asked holding her weapon out, ready to throw it.
"No," Kikyo said as she set down lightly on the ground. "I have come to take what shouldn't be here." Kikyo said, a frown on her face. Sango frowned as she threw Hiraikotsu at Kikyo. Kikyo stepped sideways and set her soul stealers after Kagome.
"Kagome!" Sango shouted as she turned around, drawing her sword to fend off the soul stealers. Kikyo laughed.
"You forgot one thing..." Kikyo said. Sango turned around to see Hiraikotsu coming back at her. Sango tried to jump out of the way since her hands were tied up with her sword, but the Bone caught her leg and she fell to the ground.
"Nnh, Kagome! No!" Sango said as she tried to get to her feet. It was too late; Kagome was being lifted off the ground by Kikyo's soul stealers. Kikyo followed as Sango turned to her.
"Thank you." Kikyo said with an evil grin on her face.
"Kagome!" Sango shouted as Kagome disappeared into the sky.
