Story Summary: Kagome has seen InuYasha kissing Kikyo once again, and has had enough. She leaves the group and but is attacked by a wolf demon, and somehow swallows some of its blood. Unfortunately, the next day she wakes up to find herself that very demon. She now believes she is the demon, and cant remember InuYasha or anyone. At the same time, Sesshomaru has sent Jaken out to find him a wife. Could this new version of Kagome be taken as a worthy wife of Sessomaru?
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha, or anyone, but maybe Loa?
Yay! Finally, all done…… wipes sweat from brow I honestly don't know if youre worth it…… wink just kidding! grin o and to miko of purified souls, its kagome, only since she shallowed the demon's blood (the demon was Loa) its taken over her, and she thinks shes the demon.
Previously: Kagome was attacked by the demon, and went to village for help. Sesshy sent Jaken out to find a wife for him, and Jaken followed Loa's scent. Loa was found by Jaken, and he told her about what he was sent for.
Chapter 3: Search For Kagome
When InuYasha woke up, still the day before Loa had even met Jaken, and only mere hours after Kagome left, he was puzzled as to why she was no longer in his arms with him.
"Kagome?" He said groggily, looking around. He stood and went out, to see if she was with Sango, or maybe even Miroku. But instead, he found Sango and Miroku in each others arms, with Kilala and Shippo sleeping on either side of them. "What the hell!"
"MIROKU! SANGO! WAKE UP!" He screamed. Sango and Miroku, as well as Shippo and Kilala, all jumped up.
"Whats going on!" He went psycho, "You two were sleeping together!"
Both blushed, "Inuyasha, me and Miroku, we… talked last night, and…" Sango said uncomfortably, "Well we, told each other how we've liked each other for a while now and we…"
"Made out!" Inuyasha yelled accusingly.
"No!" Miroku said loudly, shocked at the thought. Well not so much shocked at it, just… upset? "We just hugged." His voice got quiet.
"Sure…" Inuyasha said, disbelieving. "But that not the point. The point is, Kagome's GONE!"
"What? Gone where?" Sango stood.
"I don't know!" InuYasha said.
"Well we need to find her! Follow her scent InuYasha!"
"She went this way." InuYasha pointed after a quick whiff of the air.
InuYasha and company arrived at the well after following Kagome's sketchy scent (she had jumped a lot so there were patches with no scent. kinda random but uh… ok then) for ten minutes.
"Oh no…" InuYasha whispered.
"What?" Miroku asked.
"I smell a demon. And blood. The demon's blood and…" He sniffed one more time, "Kagome's blood!" He frowned, "Come this way, you can even see her trail of her blood..." He led them back through the forest, but in a different direction. Though they didn't need to be led, because Inuyasha was right, there was a noticeable trail of blood already showing the way.
After another 10 minutes, Inu and company came to a village. "Excuse me? Has a girl arrived here lately?" Sango called out.
A woman stopped and turned to them, "Are you friends of that poor soul?"
"Yes." InuYasha stepped forward. "What happened?"
"She came to us yesterday," The woman walked over to them. "Her arm had a gash in it, so our village's elder took her to her hut to tend to her."
"Take us there." InuYasha snapped quickly.
"This way." The woman led them to a small hut and took them inside. "Over here. We laid her there." She gestured to a cot with a blood stain.
"Her scent… It changes here." InuYasha went to it. "It's a mixture of her scent and the demon's-" Inuyasha felt a prick on the back of his neck. His hand flew up and slapped it. Then he brought it back in front of his face so he could see.
"…Mioga!" He growled.
"M-master InuYasha…" Mioga (sp?) twitched.
"Where have you been!" Inuyasha snapped. "And why are you here now?"
"I was, uh… hibernating. Of course! And I came to check up on you."
Inuyasha snorted but moved on. "Mioga, I need you to tell me something. We've lost Kagome. I tracked her scent here, after I could smell she had been in a battle with a demon. Now she smells like herself and the demon!"
"She must have swallowed some of the demon's blood."
"What!" Inuyasha said, surprised. So was everyone else, they all had shocked looks on their faces. Why would Kagome even do that? "But what does that have to do with it anyway?" Inuyasha demanded.
"Simple, by swallowing some of the demon's blood, she has become part demon. What kind of demon is it Inuyasha?" Mioga asked, curious.
"Wolf." Inuyasha spat the word like it was venomous.
"So she's a half-demon forever!" Sango cried out, horrified.
"No, no. Just temporarily." Mioga reassured her.
"How long?" Inuyasha demanded. (He never lightens up does he? ;) )
"Depends on how much blood she swallowed." Mioga said, unhelpfully.
"Well thanks!" Inuyasha grumbled.
X Later that night, still in the village X
"We've stayed here long enough!" Inuyasha yelled.
"We'll stay just for tonight, and find her in the morning." Miroku said reasonably.
"No! We leave now! Besides, you probably just want to hit on the village women!" Inuyasha accused.
"Inuyasha, she's fine, we need to sleep!" Sango said back loudly, but subconsciously agreeing with him, especially about the Miroku part.
"We don't know that! And we cant waste any more time!" Inuyasha was screaming now.
"We're not leaving. And that's final." Miroku said with his eyes closed, a hand flat in front of him, trying to come off as calm.
Kilala and Shippo (Mioga on Kilala's head) sat on the floor, heads going back and forth between the people.
"NO!" Inuyasha roared and stormed out.
Sango sighed and sat down, leaning against the wall. Miroku walked over to her and sat next to her. "How are you doing?" He asked her gently.
"Im worried." She said quietly. All the worry for her friend had seemed to sap the energy from her, and she was exhausted.
Miroku slipped an arm around her. "She's fine, Im sure." He said soothingly. Sango's eyes filled with tears, and one fell down her cheek. Miroku reached up and wiped it off with his thumb, then pulled her slowly into him and wrapped both arms around her. (on the count of three everyone say aaawww. ONE… TWO… THREE…. 'aaaaaaaaaawwww……')
"Its ok." He whispered. Sango started to cry even harder, instead of being comforted, which made Miroku wonder if he did it wrong. But he didn't say anything as Sango shook in his arms, only held her tighter. (Im starting to cry now:( )
Still slightly upset at how Inuyasha had run away from her, Kikyo sat under the same tree it had all happened, and thought. She sat and thought for the rest of the night and halfway through the next day, her expressions changing as often as her thoughts. Her soul collectors came and went, dropping souls into her, then going off to get more and returning again.
Then suddenly she blinked, and stood up. She turned and walked around the tree. "I know what I must do." She said as she continued deeper in the forest and sought out the only man that could help her get what she wanted.
Kagura scanned the ground as she soared threw the sky with Kohaku. "Kohaku, why do you defy Naraku?" She said with a hint of irritation. "I know Im not one to talk, but you're going to get yourself killed. If you value your life, listen to him every now and then. At least until I find a way out of this mess." Kagura turned to him. "Are you listening to me! Kohaku! Uhg… Why don't you ever answer me? I know you can talk. Are you thinking of that little girl?" She didn't expect an answer, but she got one.
"Yes, I am." Kohaku said quietly.
Kagura whirled around, and saw him speak the last word. Then she smiled, "Good." She meant about his talking of course, not that he was thinking of Rin. "Would you like to see her? Just to see if she's alright?" Kohaku nodded. Kagura changed the winds and sent them going the other direction, toward where she knew Sesshomaru was. Secretly, she wanted to see Sesshomaru as well as she wanted to take Kohaku to Rin. She kind of liked him you see. But he had refused to help her. And for that she would never admit her true feelings for the Lord to anyone but herself.
After almost an hour of soaring, Kagura was close enough to Sesshy to be able to see him. "There he is." Kagura pointed to him for Kohaku. "The girl will be with him. We'll fly around there for a bit, ok?"
Kohaku nodded blankly. "Alright then. That's what we'll do." Kagura said, half to herself. She didn't think Sesshomaru would pay any attention to them immediately. He did. As they flew near, Sesshomaru looked up quickly. "Kagura…" He said, sounding disgusted.
Rin stepped in closer to Sesshomaru. "The woman who took me away?" She asked, her eyes filled with fear. Sesshomaru nodded.
"Kagura!" He called up to her when she was above them. Kagura frowned, and then brought the feather down to the ground. She stood and she and Kohaku stepped off. Then Kagura turned it back into the little replica she put in her hair.
"Sesshomaru." She said.
"What do you want?" He sounded like Inuyasha, grumpy, unhappy, and inpatient.
"I mean no harm. I've merely brought Kohaku to see the human girl." Sesshy looked at Rin, who was also looking up at him, questioningly.
"It's ok." He told her.
She looked to Kohaku and did a little curtsy, "You saved me." She stated simply. Kohaku nodded. "I thank you." Kohaku nodded again, but his eyes twinkled slightly.
"Your welcome."
"Leave now." Sesshomaru commanded, turning his attention back to Kagura. She seemed taken aback, but nodded.
"Yes, Sesshomaru-sama." She bowed mockingly, and reached up, whipping out the feather she had just put away, and then having it lift her and Kohaku into the sky. As they rose up, she asked him, "Was it worth it?" Kohaku nodded yet again, still looking down at them.
