Twisted Love

Chapter 40: Nightmare of InuYasha's Forest

"So…is that really how it happened?"

"Yep"

"D-Do you remember it?"

InuYasha sighed and winced. "No, and for that, I'm sorry"

Kagome craned her neck to look up at him. "I should be the one who's sorry…I don't remember anything at all."

InuYasha sighed and flattened his ears. The melancholy in his soul was slowly killing him. He wouldn't let it take him away. He closed his eyes, letting the feel of Kagome cradled in his arms sink in. He kissed her forehead gently, softly. Kagome sighed and twirled some strands of his hair around her index finger.

"InuYasha?" Kagome nuzzled against his neck.

"Hmm?"

"D-Do you love me?"

"More then you'll ever know," he said without hesitation. Kagome smiled and looked at him. His golden eyes, the heat that Kagome thought would burn her alive. Full of love, caring, but yet so sad. He grinned at her. Kagome gave him a soft smile. She felt a powerful sense of energy swoop through her body, making her gasp softly. She felt something inside her heart, inside her head, and soul. She sighed.

'I-InuYasha…he's calling me…' She realized. 'No, his heart is calling me…my mate'

Kagome opened her eyes and stared in to his. InuYasha. He was calling to her, she could feel something pull her towards him. He leaned forward, capturing her lips with his. He sucked on her bottom lip softly, prying her mouth open gently. Kagome opened her mouth for him. She let him taste her, hold her, love her. His legs straddled her, her arms wrapped around his neck pulling him closer. She sunk her fingers in to his hair. InuYasha intertwined their fingers, squeezing gently. She returned the gesture. She moaned softly and his ears picked up her small sound. He growled in response.

A little voice nagged Kagome. 'You can't! You barely know the guy…'

'I know him, I just can't see it yet'

'Still…do it for the right reasons'

'We're married, mated as he calls it…he loves me, isn't that reason enough?'

'No…he loves you, but---but you don't love him'

Kagome opened her eyes. 'I—I don't…'

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Gimme the bag," Sakura turned to her brother reaching for the bag he held. He handed it over to his sister and returned to packing. "So…where are we going?"

"Dad's forest" Kye replied casually.

Sakura raised her brow. "Why? I mean, I have no problem with it…but why his forest?"

"Dunno," Kye shrugged. "He wants to make mom fall in love with him again. So…I'm guessing he's gonna do the whole thing all over again"

"That sucks"

"Yep" Kye agreed and closed the zipper to his bag. He grabbed Sakura's and they both went to the car. Throwing the bags in the trunk along with that of their parent's, the twins climbed to the back seat. InuYasha drove for exactly four minutes before leaving the car and running the rest of the way with Kagome on his back. Kye held Sakura. InuYasha led them to a small clearing where they settled camp for the night.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"You've got an adorable family, Bryant, did you know that?" Hime giggled. Bryant frowned at her and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Yes, I knew that already."

Hime struck him with a glare. "Don't answer back to me!"

"Do I care what you think?" Bryant looked at her. "C'mon…do I care? Do I care?"

Hime sneered and made her mirror disappear in a flash of blue light. "You idiot, come here"

Bryant saw the image of InuYasha and his own family. He frowned. "Don't do anything to them you bitch, we're after Kouga and that's all"

"Uh-uh," Hime began "Correction: You're after Kouga…I---on the other hand--- am after Kagome and InuYasha…I need them"

Bryant snapped his head up. "Why?"

"My master plan, Bryant. One that will not fail me"

Bryant growled. "Don't fucking do a thing to them!"

Hime grinned. "Oh, I can't help them from things that go…bump in the night, if you will. The forest is dangerous, Bryant, they should know that"

"You bitch!"

Hime smirked. "I am so sorry…The forest has its own secrets"

Bryant turned around and started for the door. Hime's voice stopped him. Her voice was full of venom, dripping from every word.

"Try something, Bryant, and I swear I kill your wife and son before you very eyes. I still hold Serenity from that strand of hair I got, I can kill her off before a blink of an eye. And, as for your son…he's a mere child and therefore shall be very easy to destroy"

Bryant looked at her with a frown. "I loathe you"

"Yes, I'm sure you do" Hime laughed.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Kye was trying to scare Sakura and she yelped. He laughed. InuYasha and Kagome were nestled with each other by a tree trunk. InuYasha's ears twitched as he heard a sound.

"What the hell?" InuYasha stood up and looked around, his small triangular radars twitching in every direction. Kye also tried to hear something.

When they heard nothing, InuYasha shrugged and sat back down. Must've been a small animal or something. Sakura sighed and leaned over the poke a small rock with her finger. She jumped when she felt something against her side.

"Kye!" Sakura yelled. "Stop it!"

Kye looked at her with a frown. "I didn't do anything! I'm all the way over here!"

Sakura looked to the other side and gasped. Turning her head around she screamed. Sakura backed away from the bush were a ghostly hand was sticking out.

Kye jumped to his feet along with his father and mother. He grabbed Sakura. InuYasha grabbed Tetsusaiga and unsheathed it. From out of the trees a green youkai appeared with vines all around it.

"Your mate and daughter!" it shouted. "They both…have…the miko auras"

InuYasha growled. "Feh, just you piece of shit!"

The beast had green slimy skin with scales, glowing yellow eyes, and vines sticking around it. The vines stretched around the four of them. He slammed Kye against a tree and other vines reached for InuYasha.

"Wind Scar!" InuYasha yelled as he brought the sword down on the Earth. The ground shook, trembled under Tetsusaiga's attack. The vines were cut, byt they re-attached themselves t the monster. It knocked the sword from his hand, wrapping the vines around his body.

"Now, I shall take your mate and daughter!"

The vines wrapped around Kagome, pushing her back in to the forest. Another vines wrapped around Sakura, pushing her back the other way. Both screamed.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Kagome was flung away in to the forest until the vines reached a small clearing. It flung her away, pushing her back in to a well full of more vines. She groaned and screamed as the sharp points cut her skin. It dropped her inside the well, she didn't know how deep it was or what was on the bottom.

She screamed loudly.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

InuYasha was being held by the youkai's vines while his son was against the tree. He could see the vines leading to Kagome and Sakura, that is until they returned to the demon. His eyes widened.

'Kagome…Sakura…where the fuck are they? No, damnit…please, why does this always happen to me? Fucking hell…I swear, I will him…I'll tear him apart limb for limb!'

'Kagome…Sakura…'

Sakura was pushed back, the trees cutting her skin. She saw the edge of a cliff and screamed, frantically trying to cast a spell on the vines. Her hands her tied. The vine flung her away, over the edge of the cliff. The fog beneath it thickened. She fell in to the darkness. She screamed as loud as her lungs could take. Falling from a high distance, she didn't know where she would land.

Sakura screamed as she fell through the fog around the cliff.
