Chapter 10: Spirit of Midoriko

Sesshomaru sat Kagome on the edge of his bed and instantly crushed her lips with his own. He could feel her body crawling away and he chuckled deep inside his chest. 'Very shy.' Crawling over top of her he gazed deep into her hazel eyes and grinned. "I thought you wanted to play?"

Kagome choked as his tongue pushed inside her mouth again and she found herself unable to speak. His dirty hands ran through her hair and down the side of her slim figure. Normally someone touching her sides like this would tickle her and she'd laugh uncontrollably but his gentle touch only made her feel disgusted and sick with hate. Just as his hand reached the edge of her dress and his fingers began to run up her bare leg she quickly stopped the kiss, pushed him off and crawled up to the headboard.

Gaining his balance he glared at the young woman and bared his fangs. "What is wrong with you bitch!" He growled, standing perched upon his knees. This move she had just pulled angered him, upset him and without the proper explanation, would not go unforgiven.

Her eyes shifted around the room, searching for a good enough answer to calm him down. She knew he was angry, he did practically the same thing Inuyasha did when he was displeased with her. "I…well I…" 'Come on Kagome, keeping going!' Sitting up on her knees she made her way back in front of the demon lord and touched his cheek with her fingertips. "My lord, I just want to please you." She smiled and softly kissed his lips.

Sesshomaru, now satisfied, grinned again and took her into his arms. "Then do so my dear. Let me see what you've got." Rolling onto his back he sat her atop his hips and awaited the pleasure he hoped to get.

Inuyasha paced the floor outside the door of Sesshomaru's room. His worry level was on edge when the sounds coming from inside suddenly went quiet. "What the hell are they doing in there!" He muttered angrily for all to hear. He felt totally useless not being able to help. "Why didn't she just stick with the plan!"

"Inuyasha keep it down." Hissed Sango, holding her finger to her lips. She just couldn't properly explain to them what Kagome was doing in there. They wouldn't understand. More importantly, Inuyasha would try to get her out and she knew Kagome wouldn't be happy about that. So, she decided not to tell.

Miroku leaned against the wall and ran his hand down the side of his face. "Just let her finish. Sango seems pretty confident in her so why can't you?"

Inuyasha punched the air and growled loudly. Anymore of this waiting around would send him off the wall and he wasn't too sure if he'd be able to control himself.

Kagome leaned forward, pushing her hands up and along his chest until she reached the collar of his haori. Slipping her fingers underneath she loosened it away from his body until his full chest was bare before her eyes. Kissing his neck softly she dragged her lips down every curve of his muscular body. 'Gross, gross, gross! Oh hell why did I do this!'

Moaning quietly in his throat from enjoyment, the demon lord leaned his head back against the pillows and closed his eyes. "Why do you tease me?" Rubbing his hands along her legs he could easily sense how tense she was in this position. 'She is very shy…not after tonight though.' He grinned to himself and allowed his mind to travel away.

She watched him close his eyes and she stuck her tongue out in disgust in an attempt to hold down her sickness towards the demon lord. 'I am so sorry Inuyasha. Please forgive me.' Continuing with her trick on Sesshomaru she cursed in her mind and waited for the perfect time to start the next part of her plan.

Inuyasha frowned in disgust and rage as Sesshomaru's moans of pleasure from his lover seeped through the cracks of the doorway. "I can't take it anymore! That bastard is fooling around with my Kagome!" Running at the door, he prepared himself for a lot of danger when he faced his older brother.

"Inuyasha no!" Sango and Miroku shouted in unison, snatching onto his arms and pinning him against the opposite wall.

Miroku looked up at the hanyou and was astonished to find that the only emotions visible in his golden eyes were those of hurt and worry. "Just hang on longer, she'll be back with us soon." He felt bad for Inuyasha in this situation. He would be acting the exact same way if Sango was locked inside there with Sesshomaru or any other man. "Just a little longer." He repeated in almost a whisper.

Inuyasha's body relaxed against the weight of both Sango and Miroku and he let himself slide down the wall to the ground. Lowering his head, his silver bangs shadowed his glossy eyes. Everything seemed so murky now that Kagome wasn't with him but Sesshomaru, and their plan of escaping was now clouded with uncertainty.

'It's now or never Kagome.' She told herself, lifting her head to see Sesshomaru's face. Sighing lightly she put on a serious face and rubbed her hands along his skin. "Keep your eyes shut my lord."

"Now why would I do that my dear?" He asked huskily, not wanting to ruin the moment but his curiosity got the better of him and it sounded very sly. Her mood had suddenly shifted from fear of him to nervousness of something else. If her reason pleased his taste he would have to decide from there to obey her or not.

Kagome rolled her eyes as his husky voice tried to arouse her with no success. "It'll be more enjoyable…for the both of us." She said enticingly to help him make his decision. Examining his stern look relax once again she smirked mischievously as everything began to roll out perfectly. Dragging her fingernails down his chest she shut her eyes tightly and concentrated on her plan.

"Kagome…" A soft voice whispered far in the distance.

Her eyes fluttered open and she gasped at her new surroundings. Fog drifted in large masses across a flat field of green. "Who are you? Where are you?" She called, her voice echoing through the faded barren land.

A slim figure of a woman stepped out from the shadows, her long silky black hair blowing gently across her face in the wind. Her hazel eyes matched Kagome's and a small smile slipped across her crimson lips. "Hello Kagome. I'm glad we can finally meet."

Kagome gasped at whom she saw and she quickly smiled back. "Midoriko! I can't believe its you! But, where are we? Am I dead?"

Midoriko laughed a bit and stepped closer, brushing back her blowing hair. "No, you are not dead. We are in but a dream. I heard your voice and had the feeling that you needed my help." She smiled and turned her head to the side as if waiting for another.

Another shadow stepped forward from the misty fog as if a ghost and quietly walked to the side of Midoriko. Her hazel eyes identical to both of theirs shimmered in the faded light of the land. "And mine." She smiled, something that was very uncommon on this pale face of hers.

Kagome gasped at the miko, the very miko she was reincarnated from and walked in her shadow. "Kikyo..." A large smiled crept across her lips at the sight of the girl. She had died so long ago that even Inuyasha, when her name wasn't brought up, had forgotten about her. She was left as only a memory in the world.

Kikyo nodded her head, a small smile still visible on her face and she kept eye contact with Kagome. "We are all here now, the three guardians of the Shikon no Tama."

"The fate of the jewel has been sealed but, in this case we can erase what has been done." Midoriko shut her eyes and clutched her hands tightly into a fist. "The jewel's powers were to be used only for good, not evil like it what has happened."

Kikyo rested her hand on the miko's shoulder and shut her eyes as well. "We can help you Kagome, that's why we're here. Together we will get the Sacred Shikon Jewel back."

The two miko's bodies began to glow an awesome bright white and Kagome choked on the lack of air that was now in the room. "But how!" She shouted at the blinding light. Covering her eyes with her arms she held her breath and shut her eyes tightly.

Kagome gasped for air and quickly opened her eyes. Looking around her surroundings curiously she suddenly remembered where she was by the heavy sounds of Sesshomaru's breathing. '…I'm back' A very familiar feeling struck her like a thousand knives in her back and she immediately looked down to where it was coming from. 'What? Is this real?' Hovering her hand over the pale pink light that appeared through the skin above Sesshomaru's heart she gasped quietly to herself and quickly pulled her hand back. 'The Shikon Jewel!'

"What are you doing my dear Kagome?" Sesshomaru mumbled while still obeying her given orders from before. He rubbed his hands along her covered thighs, encouraging her to keep going.

Twisting her lips in disgust by the way he was acting she decided to go along with what Midoriko and Kikyo had said. They obviously knew this was going to happen and left it up to her to finish it. "Keep your eyes shut and just relax my lord." She watched him grin and she grinned herself. He had no idea what was coming his way and soon it would mean the fall of the most powerful youkai in all across Feudal Japan. Inching her hand closer to his chest where the light shone through, she shut her one eye and nearly screamed as the tips of her fingers sunk into his skin as if nothing was there at all. Closing her other eye she pushed her hand in further, unsure if what she was doing would really work. Suddenly, her hand came in contact with a tiny spherical object and her eyes shot open. She pinched the object between her thumb and index fingers and slowly started to bring it out. She smiled brightly as the pink glow began to surface. "The jewel!" She exclaimed excitedly.

Sesshomaru's golden eyes immediately shot open at her voice and he glared angrily at the smiling girl. A bright pink light shining from within his body caught his eye and his attention was instantly brought down to his chest. "The jewel." He gasped.

At the sound of Sesshomaru's voice she frowned and pulled out the jewel with all the strength inside of her. Just as the surface of it shone through his skin she was violently thrown away from him with an incredible force into the nearest wall.

Sesshomaru grunted as his body was thrown back into the bed frame. Holding tightly to his chest over his heart, he panted heavily for air, feeling his demonic powers diminishing to only that of the strength he had had as his former self and he glared at the stunned girl. "You little bitch. Once I get that jewel back I will make you're life a living hell." Falling over the bedside he stumbled to his feet and slowly staggered his way to the jewel that rested between the two. His once golden eyes flickered shades of blood red as his rage and anger reached a boiling point.

Kagome rubbed the side of her face and rolled her head over onto her shoulder. She could hear him approaching her but she couldn't get up, her body wouldn't allow it. Opening her eyes slightly from weakness she stared at the jewel within her grasp and held back the hot tears of pain that slightly blurred her vision. "I have to get it." She grunted through grit teeth. Pushing herself forward she fell onto her chest, her body sprawled across the ground. Lifting her face from the soft carpet she weakly lifted her arm and stretched it out towards the jewel. When her hand shadowed the jewel, she quickly dropped it over top of it, holding it tightly within her fist. Her eyes lifted to meet Sesshomaru's and she narrowed them as he took a step right in front of her.

Bearing his fangs at the girl he growled loudly. "I'll make you wish you were never born."
