Author's Note: You liking the update so far? The sacrifice idea kind of changed a bit. Instead of sacrificing her to a demon, she'll be sacrificed to Kyoto. irony, irony, irony!
Chapter 10: Three Days to Say I Love You
Kagome lifted her hands to shield her eyes as the light continued to shine around Kyoto's body. When it had stopped, Kagome's eyes widened. Kyoto had become paler, his eyes colder and beady. He was also considerably more handsome. "What are you?" was all Kagome could say as he came down to her.
"A Hannya Kagome" Kyoto answered "I look a lot better this way no? You think your demon slayer friend would think so?"
"What the hell is a Hannya?" Kagome said, growing more confused as these events occurred "And why the hell are you interested in what Sango thinks?"
"A Hannya is a very powerful demon Kagome" Kyoto answered as though explaining tedious things to a two year old "A jealous creature with the ability to cause people to die, or cause them to live."
"What exactly to I have to do to live?" Kagome said, remembering how he had said her life would come at a price.
"First thing's first" Kyoto said "Inu Yasha, do you love him?"
Kagome blushed darkly "What does he have to with this?"
Kyoto almost seemed angry at her words. His eyes flashed annoyance but he remained calm "he has everything to do with it Kagome, everything!"
Kagome said "I don't get it? What does it matter how I feel about him?" still blushing.
Kyoto smiled "it's okay if you can't say it aloud, I can merely search your mind for it."
"What?" Kagome said in alarm as he pulled her closer, staring her hard in the eyes.
Kagome's mind immediately went hazy close your mind, close your mind! She shouted inwardly, unable to avert her gaze from Kyoto's eyes. She had strong walls in her mind, almost impenetrable walls. So she was not very scared "do your worst" she said.
At least, she had wanted to say that, and she had opened her mouth to say it. She would have said it too, if sound had come out of her mouth at all. The walls in her mind were slowly fading away and she could do nothing to stop them. She felt limp and closed her eyes, memories of all the times Inu Yasha had done nice things for her, hugged her, and complimented her. Kagome blushed even kissed me she thought, remembering the encounter at Kaguya's castle. I do love him she found herself thinking involuntarily with all my heart.
And just like that, she found herself back in the cave, Kyoto smiling above her. Pushing herself away from him "You made me think that!" she yelled "that's not fair!"
"But it was information locked deep within your mind" Kyoto said "it was information I needed."
Kagome continued to scowl "I can help you now" Kyoto told her.
"Then let me live!" Kagome yelled at him "take this stupid tension seal off of me."
"Oh but I can't do that" Kyoto said "That's up to you."
"Then what do I have to do!" Kagome said.
"Your mind reveals to me that you love Inu Yasha" Kyoto said "now you must get him to tell you he loves you!"
"What?" Kagome said.
"If you can get Inu Yasha to tell you he loves you within three days time, I will let you live" Kyoto said "but if not, your heart belongs to me!"
"You've turned my life into a bet!" Kagome said "You despicable monster!"
"I see you do not wish to live" Kyoto said "I can just as easily take your heart now Kagome, you should be happy that I am giving you this chance at life."
Kagome growled "Fine! I'll accept your challenge."
"Good, now for the rules" Kyoto said.
"Rules?" Kagome frowned.
"Of course, can't make it to easy" He said with a smile "I do want your heart you know."
"Fine, what are they" Kagome said in a tone that made it clear that she despised this whole thing.
"First, you can't tell him you love him" Kyoto said "you automatically lose if you do."
"What? But that's not fair!" Kagome yelled "how will he ever say it if I can't tell him how I feel too!"
"Hey, I need some kind of advantage here" Kyoto protested "and besides, if you say it first, it will make him feel obligated to say it too. Makes it much too easy!"
Kagome snarled "You…" she said, feeling her anger rise.
"Secondly, he has to say it of his own will" he shook a finger at her "no magic or drugs or anything like that Kagome!"
"Fine" Kagome said "three days, I'll get him to say it for sure!"
She then stuck out her hand for him to shake. He looked at it blankly "what am I supposed to do with that?" he asked her.
"It's a handshake" Kagome explained "where I come from, it can symbolize a simple greeting, or represent an unbreakable promise."
He smiled and shook her hand "then I will gladly make this promise unbreakable" he said as they let go.
"Send me back now" Kagome said.
"Very well, but remember Kagome" Kyoto said "when I return in three days to search your mind, if no memories of his confession can be found, your heart, and your power, belong to me!"
Kagome nodded as Kyoto snapped his fingers to send her home.
