:One and Only:

Chapter 19: The world turns at an odd angle

"What do you want?" Kagome whispered, still tempted to scream.

"I want you to help me." Kagura said, mono-tone.

"What?" Kagome paused.

"I need your help. You and your hanyou are the only ones who can help me. I am the only one that can help you too." she replied, observing her closed fan before looking up with a sad look in her eyes.

"What can we do to help you?" Kagome's voice immediately softened.

"You can set me free. Naraku. He died, and someone else found my heart. I can't be free until it is in my possession. He has it now." Kagura said, her face went composed again.

"He?" Kagome asked quietly.

"That thing, the one who controls Mirikami and I. He killed Kanna and kept me." Kagura looked into Kagome's eyes for a minute. "He is to be feared. If you did not fear Naraku, fear him." she said before bowing her head.

"What can you do to help us?" Kagome couldn't help but want to know, she has neverseen Kagura this way, it was confusing.

"I can give you information, to help you on your quest, but I am afraid that is all I can grasp now. I will return. He cannot know of my treachery." she climbed on her feather and flew off. Before she was out of view, she dropped a velvet bag containing a jewel shard.

Kagome held it in her palm and looked up to watch the sky that Kagura disappeared into.


Kagome got into the spring, hoping to get no more interruptions.

The warm water felt so good against her skin. Calming.

Kagome felt a presence.

"AH! HENTAI!INUYASHA! HELP!" She screamed, covering her chest and submerging up to her chin.

InuYasha came breaking out of the trees in a flash andwhen he saw it was Miroku, peeking over a bush, he knocked him out and dragged him back to camp.

"Thank you." she mumbled. She wasn't sure if he heard her or not. She'd have to thank him later.


'Lecher. Bathroom my ass. Last time he's out of my sight when Kagome's at the hot spring.' InuYasha thought before dropping the monk in front of Sango. She just stared at the unconscious monk for a second before feeling something on her bottom. (Teehee, bottom!)

O.O "HENTAI! YOU LECHEROUS HENTAI MONK! KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOUR SELF!" the taijiya screamed before hitting hi over the head several times with hirikotsu.

InuYasha sat down an smiled.


Kagome walked out of the dark forest and plaed her bag down in front of her. She walked over to InuYasha and sat beside him as he stroked her wet locks sub-consciously.

Sango was happily staring at the tumour-like bump she had created on the monks skull. She was almost too happy, she was a step away from dancing around singing 'oh a stupid lecherous monk is he, and I think I want to hit him some more!'...but she didn't...( ⌐⌐ )

InuYasha looked down at the girl leaning on his shoulder. She looked deep in thought.

'I wonder, what does she mean if you didn't fear Naraku, fear this guy...hmm..does that mean he is like, more evil and powerful than Naraku? I guess I better tell InuYasha.' she thought, turning up to the hanyou.

"InuYasha? Can I talk to you for a minute? Alone?" she asked, motioning to Sango and Miroku. InuYasha looked a little confused, but agreed and carried her out of earshot.

"Ya?" he said, putting her down across from him on a branch.


"Uh, Kagura visited me while I was at the hot spring..." Kagome said shyly, looking away.

"What? Are you hurt, are you okay? What did she do? What did she say!" he said, sniffing and frantically searching for any injuries.

"InuYasha! I'm fine, she didn't do a thing to me. She did tell me something though." Kagome said, brushing his cheek with her thumb to comfort him. She looked into his eyes as he waited to hear what Kagura said.

"She said that...that this new evil we've been sensing, the one that controls Mirikami, she said that if we didn't fear Naraku, fear him, which I'm still not exacty sure what she meant though.." she looked in his eyes again, they were searching for any other information.

"Anything else?" he asked, holding her shoulders securely.

"Well, she said we could help her, and she could help us... she can give us information, and we can kill this new evil, to get her heart back." she looked down again.

"Are you sure you want to help her?" he asked, pulling her chin up so her eyes met his.

"Yes, I think she has some good in her, she misses her sister." she held out her hand to show InuYasha the jewel shard.

"She...she gave you this?" he asked, sniffing it carefully.

"It's real, and yes. I don't know why. But I trust her." Kagome closed her hand before putting the shard into the vial.

InuYasha nodded and hopped down off the branch with her in his arms. He placed her down and walked back with her. She smiled and slipped her hands in his. He smiled back.


Sango smiled when Miroku woke up. "Haha...lecher...took you long enough." she muttered to herself.

Miroku looked around. He was about to go sit with Sango, but he smiled so she couldn't see.

"Who are you?" he said, putting on his innocent face.

"Miroku? It's me. Sango!" she said waving her hands infront of his face.

"Sango? I don't know a Sango." he replied, rubbing his head.

"Wait! What did you do to me!" he pretended to be scared.

"Miroku! It's me! Please say you remember." she said, walking over to him and crouching in front of him.

"Huh? I think..." he paused and then smiled a lecherous smile.

Sango twitched. 'That little...I am going to cut his hands off!' she flashed him an evil smile. He stopped smiling.

"Sango, come on my love! Be reasonable! I was simply playing! Sango? Sango! Help! Lady Kagome! InuYasha!" he started running in circles as Sango chased him and Kagome and InuYasha watched O.O them, scratching their heads.


Kihana walked over to Hakkaku. "Hey, do you want to come hunting with me and Ichiatsui? Koga is busy." she asked, sitting next to him.

"Uh, sure, if it's alright with Koga." he said. He looked over to Koga, who was about to leave and he gave him a nod.

"Okay." he stood up and Kihana got Ichiatsui.

"Come on!" she said, pulling her sister out of her sitting place.

Ichiatsui rolled her eyes but stood up and walked out of the den.

Hakkaku ran around and caught a rabbit when the two girls came back with an full-grown stag. (Hehe...here it comes...) :sweatdrop, falls:(haha! anime style! It's awsome!)

"Hey, we got lucky!" Kihana said. While Hakkaku grabbed his rabbit and put it behind his back.

"Uh..I already got one, and I put it back because I heard you guys got one..." Ichiatsui knew he was lying, (what older sister doesnt!) But played along.

"Ya, I think I saw it running away. It was a big one, it was limping. Meh, we'll get it next time." she said, bored.

Kihana sighed at her sisters composure.

"Hey, miss perfect!" she got her sisters attention before tackling her.

"Hey!" she said, and began fighting.

"Wait a minute!"Hakkaku jumped in and tried to pry them off each other.


Kagome fell asleep, cuddling into InuYasha's chest as he watched the other two drift off in each others arms.

"Things really have changed..." he smiled down at the girl in his arms and slowly placed a kiss on her forehead, which caused her to snuggle in closer.

He looked over at Miroku, who had a large bump on his head, and Sango still had Hirikotsu clutched loosely in her hand. InuYasha sighed. 'Some things never do change, though.'


Ichiatsui slowly crept off towards the cave. Hakkaku thought he was trying to get her off her sister, and her sister thought she was fighting both of them. She snuck out, getting tired. 'Huh, wonder how long it'll take for them to find out im gone. She heaved the stag on her shoulder and ran off.

Kihana paused. She didn't hear the ranting of her sister. 'What?' she stopped and stood up. Hakkaku just sat on the ground, sniffing for Ichiatsui's scent as she did the same.

"She left." He stated dumbly.

"Ya, stupid sister." Kihana helped Hakkaku up and walked back with him.

Hakkaku looked at the young girl. 'She and her sister are very much alike, yet different. Confusing...' he thought as the sped up towards the den.


Kagura continued on her way back to the castle. 'I hope this works, it will be the early demise of many people does it not. And for the many people that will die, it will probably be the fault of all the reviewers that don't vote for what they believe in...'
