Chapter 12
Sesshoumaru growled, limping toward the road. He held his left arm as blood trailed down his hand, "Damn it," He muttered as he turned to the side, spitting up blood. He dropped his arm and wiped his forehead with his right hand, ignoring the blood that trailed down his closed right eye. His left eye was red in anger as he reached the road, walking the path, "Naraku, I will murder you no matter what."
He continued walking; his left arm was limp as a rag doll. He saw head lights shine upon him as he walked, but continued onward ignoring the cars. He stopped as he heard the car pull behind him and stop, the engine cutting off but the head lights continue to shine on him. He whipped around and glared at the car, "Sesshoumaru!" He heard the familiar voice call. His eyes changed back to gold and as he saw the last person he would want to at this moment. Yuna was standing in her open car door, "Sesshoumaru, what happened!"
"I thought you were already ahead of me," Sesshoumaru muttered, "You left before I did…"
Yuna blinked at the injured Sesshoumaru, "If Kiri sees you like this…"
"I don't care if she sees me like this!" He said angrily, "If she does, she'll see how hard we tried to help her. But we have to save her so she can!"
Yuna stared at him, her face darkening with sadness, "Come on, I'll drive us to the cliff…"
"Make sure you watch the road," he muttered as he limped over to the car, now noticing the gash in his leg that was soaking the leg of his pants. He grumbled under his breath and opened the car door, sliding in. Yuna looked at him before she got into the car and started the engine again, turning back onto the road and speeding off. Sesshoumaru gazed out of the car window as the black, invisible forest he was trying to stare at, quickly passed in front of his face.
-InuYasha-
InuYasha grumbled under his breath as he was lying on his bed. He lived farther away from the school, miles from Kiri's house. Since InuYasha lived alone, he decided he would live as far away from his half brother as possible. Though for school, he found it easier to just stay at Sesshoumaru's house on some nights. But right now, he was at his own house, "I can't believe I kissed her…" He said. His cheeks flushed over. He then frowned and slapped himself on the forehead, "How could I forget about Kiri…" He said, obviously upset.
He sat up and grabbed his phone dialing Yuna's cell phone, "She left hours ago but never called." He lifted the phone to his ear before sweat dropping as it didn't even ring, "Yuna, did you get any information on Naraku?" He said annoyed before he hung up. He slammed the phone back onto the hook and glared at it, "Damn it. I want to know what is going on before Sesshoumaru goes after Naraku!"
He grabbed the phone again dialing Kagome's number, before his face flushed over again. He waited for someone to answer the phone, and after a few rings, they did, "uh, H-Hello, is Kagome Higurashi there?"
"I'm sorry, she still hasn't returned."
InuYasha's eyes had widened, "W-What?" He cried surprised.
"She never returned home son… Call back later." The person hung up and InuYasha stared at the phone.
"She never returned home?" He thought aloud, "but she left here 2 hours ago!" He said surprised. His eyes widened more in realization, "NARAKU!" He yelled angrily before he jumped off his bed calling Miroku's house, "Damn it Miroku! Pick up the damn phone!" He yelled as his answering machine picked up, "Miroku! Naraku has Kagome. We have to find him!" He hung up, before his mind cleared, finally realizing the hiding place. He let out an angrily snarl as he slid off his bed, "Why haven't I ever thought of it before! The cliff." With that, InuYasha grabbed his keys and rushed to his car, speeding off toward the cliff, hoping to save the two women who have changed his life.
Shifting the car into the next gear, he turned off at an exit that led straight to the cliff. He continued to speed down the road as he saw the sun begin to rise up behind the trees that were zooming by on his right, "At this speed, it should only take me an hour tops to get there…" He thought as he watched the road, looking down every now and then at his speedometer that was reading 105 miles per hour.
-Kagome-
Kagome woke up, groaning from a major headache, "W-Where am I?" she thought as her vision remained blurred. She attempted to raise her hand and feel her head, but was held back by ropes. She clenched her eyes, reopening them to see the room come into focus.
"So you're awake…" She heard Kiri's voice say quietly. She quickly looked up at over at her.
"Kiri! You're safe!" Kagome said excited to see the girl.
Kiri was looking down, sadly, as she remained quiet in the dark gloomy room, "I'm afraid it won't be long… It seems you were the last piece they needed…" Kagome looked at her confused as she spoke, not saying a word at first.
"Last piece?"
Kiri looked up, sadly. Kagome then noticed the changes in her. Her hair was solid black, and her eyes were no longer the golden color like they were before, but now pale blue, "They're trying to lure InuYasha and Sesshoumaru here…"
"Naraku? But… what do you mean, 'they're' Kiri? I thought it was only Naraku."
Kiri's eyes darkened with hatred, "No. We've all been betrayed!" She shouted, "I thought I could trust her! I thought she wouldn't tell him! But she did!"
"Kiri, who are you talking about!"
Kiri looked up, her tears flooded over, "Kagura betrayed me… She knows everything. What happened to my parents... Why I live alone… who I am. Everything. I thought Naraku just noticed that my eyes were golden… but no… Kagura knew that I was a hanyou, and I bet she told him!"
Kagome frowned. She had never once really met Kagura. But she could tell how close she and Kiri were, "Kiri… I-it's okay…"
"It will never be okay again!" Kiri shouted. Kagome winced and frowned, "I'm going to die! Naraku is going to finish me off this time! I have no defenses anymore! He took all of my power!"
"You're demonic blood?" Kagome asked.
Kiri looked up at her, tears lightly rolling down her cheeks, "Not just that. Do you know what happened to all the pyros?"
Kagome nodded, "They were murdered. Captured and turned powerless on the location they were captured and taken too."
Kiri looked at her, tears continuing to roll down her pale cheeks, "Are you sure they were all murdered?"
"Not a single pyro has been seen for 500 years Kiri…"
"Wrong," Kiri muttered. Kagome looked at her confused, "Kagome, I came from that era. My mother, when I was a child and the murders began, tossed me into a well, and I ended here… My family and I… we were all pyro except for one. My twin sister, she gave up her hydraulic power to the murders of my clan to survive. She not only gave them her powers, but her demonic blood. She then escaped through the well. I came when I was a baby, and my sister followed after me when she was 10… The people who killed my family, are the people who want to kill me…"
"Kiri, wait! Slow down! You're a pyro. Or… were a pyro! And… a well that took you through time! You've lost me! Are you telling me, that Naraku murdered your family, 500 years ago!"
Kiri frowned, "He killed my mother, and followed me through this well 5 years after I escaped. By that time, my first foster family had moved, but he waited knowing one day I would come back here… obviously… it took me through time. I was a pyro, more than 12 hours ago… Naraku took my power… That's all he wanted from us… Power."
"Why didn't he take it from your mother!" Kagome asked. She received a deathly glare, "All I'm saying is that, your mother sacrificed herself to save you, so wouldn't it of made sense to take your mother's power and leave the hidden baby alone?"
They heard a chuckle, "So it would seem, naïve little girl." Kiri looked over, growing sick inside, hearing the voice of the man who had kidnapped her, "But at that time, we didn't know how to keep the viles uncontaminated. As soon as I arrived here, it all made sense and it turned out, for years, demons had been coming from the well, and had taken disguise as humans in this era."
Kagome glared at him, "Naraku…" She muttered, "Once InuYasha gets here, he will murder you!" Naraku laughed more, "You are a sick man! What do you want with ME anyway!"
"To prove to Kiri, she is worthless." Naraku chuckled.
Kiri blinked some and frowned, "I'm not worthless! Do not insult me or so help me I'll… I'll…"
"You'll do nothing," Naraku said, smirking, "You have no power, you have no friends. InuYasha is on his way to save Kagome, not you. He loves Kagome, but I'm sure he deeply hates you. It is your fault after all why Kagome was kidnapped." Kiri felt her heart crush in her chest as her eyes dulled.
"No… Sesshoumaru, he's coming for me…" She said softly, clamping her eyes shut, hoping to get away from Naraku.
"Don't you think he would have been here by now Kiri? He started looking for clues over 12 hours ago… He found one with your 'friend' Yuna after the first 2 hours. So don't you think they would have come in the past 10? Face it. Sesshoumaru never loved you, and Yuna, hated you."
Kagome narrowed her eyes at Naraku, "That's a lie!" She shouted. Naraku looked at the miko, smirking.
"Why do you say that priestess?"
"Sesshoumaru saved her! True Love's Kiss! You poisoned her with Dark Priestess Poisoning! If Sesshoumaru never loved her, she wouldn't be here!" Kagome shouted. She heard Naraku chuckle after she fell quiet.
"That was no Dark Priestess Poisoning. Well… it was, but it wasn't the full thing. Anyone could have kissed Kiri and she would have been healed. There was no true love about it."
Kagome frowned more, "You also lied about InuYasha, Naraku!" She shouted, "Kiri, listen to me!" She cried as Kiri looked at the ground, helpless and broken, "InuYasha was worried about you! He called to tell the hospital Naraku would come for you but they didn't listen! He waited in the hospital for hours hoping they would find something to tell us where you were! He and Sesshoumaru got into a fight on who would come and save you! Kiri, don't listen to Naraku!" She cried. Kiri looked up, her eyes still dull, her face having a look of confusion on it, almost like she was lost in another world.
"Shut up, wench!" Naraku barked. Kagome glared looking up at him. Naraku's eyes gleamed over with hatred, "Explain why Sesshoumaru never came to save her! And why InuYasha SAT there when he could have been looking for more clues!"
Kagome frowned, "He was waiting for Yuna's call…" She said quietly, "That's why he didn't leave…"
Naraku's smirk appeared back on his face, "But why didn't Sesshoumaru ever come, and why didn't Yuna ever call?" Kagome fell quiet and she looked over at Kiri who was looking back at the floor.
"So… I'm worthless…" Kiri muttered. She closed her eyes, tears falling to the ground, "And InuYasha, just wants to save you…" She looked up at Kagome, new looks appearing in her eyes, hatred and jealousy, "What makes you so god damn important! InuYasha and the others haven't even known you for a week, and I bet you two were already making out."
"Kiri, n-no!" Kagome said, upset.
"Well you know what! You better hope to god I do die here, or I will kick your ass!" She yelled. She struggled against the ropes on the chair, Naraku watching smirking.
"Yes Kiri…" He thought, "Hate her, die with hatred, and wait for her in hell with hatred. Hate them all…"
Naraku walked out and Kiri was looking to the side, angry at all of the people she trusted. Kagome looked at her, sad that she couldn't stop Naraku from turning Kiri against her friends. If Kiri were to die, her soul would be lost, she would never rest in peace, and like spirits before, she would be dragged to the deepest part of hell. She heard footsteps walking toward them and looked to see a tall man standing where Naraku was, a long braid trailing behind him.
Kiri looked at him. She felt some relief to see the one person she would always come to admire, but her love for him had died after the assumption it was he, who had raped her on the cliff, "Hiten…" She said quietly. She had some resentment for the fact, he refused to save her, but when he kissed her before, she knew he still cared for her.
Kagome blinked in surprise, "H-Hiten!" She said shocked, "I thought Naraku killed him."
"Do I look dead to you wench?" Hiten snapped. He walked over to her, glaring down at her.
Kagome frowned and glared back at him, "Why does everyone keep calling me wench! I have a name! It's Kagome! Ka-Go-Me!"
"Well, Ka-Go-Me!" Hiten said cockily, receiving a glare from Kagome, "You should really learn your facts before you talk, because it makes someone as pretty as you, seem like a completely ditz." Kagome glared at him, a slight blush on her cheeks from being called pretty. Kiri rolled her eyes and looked at Hiten.
"Why are you here?" Kiri asked quietly. Hiten looked over at her, before he walking toward her.
His face became serious, "I'm sorry…" He said softly. Kiri frowned some and sighed, "Naraku is going to have two people come for you in a few minutes… so most likely… this could be the last time we talk in private…"
Kagome blinked a bit, "What is going on! Hiten raped Kiri! So why is he being so… lovey-dovey?" she thought. Kiri looked at Kagome past Hiten and frowned. Kagome slightly looked to the side, but watched them from the corner of her eye.
Kiri looked back at Hiten and smiled lightly, "I know..." She said lightly. Hiten frowned a bit, but kissed Kiri on the lips like before. Kagome's eyes widened as she saw Kiri close her eyes, kissing him back. She looked toward them, amazed to see Kiri actually kissing the man who she thought, raped her years before. Hiten pulled back and turned walking off.
Kiri watched him and frowned sadly, closing her eyes. She let out a soft sigh and after a few minutes, opened her eyes to stare at the floor, "Hiten wasn't the one who betrayed me." She muttered.
Kagome looked at her, surprised Kiri would still talk to her, "Who did?"
"Naraku… He's a shape shifter…" Kiri said quietly, "I'm only telling you this, so you can understand why I kissed him…" She frowned some, "I love Sesshoumaru… but… just what Naraku said… I'm betrayed. But Hiten… he won't save me, but he'll betray Naraku just to be in here with me. I admire Hiten… my love for him died years ago… And I've always loved Sesshoumaru."
"Then why kiss another man?" Kagome asked quietly.
Kiri closed her eyes, "Because right now… he's the only one who makes me feel like I'm not worthless…" Kagome stared at Kiri and sighed lightly, before she looked down at the floor, staying quiet so she wouldn't upset Kiri anymore.
After a few minutes of complete silence, the two girls heard more people walking toward them. Both looking up, Kiri and Kagome saw Kagura and Akage standing there, Akage having his horse's reins gripped in one hand. Kiri looked at Kagura who refused to look at her, "So who wants to ride on the pony?" Neither one of them moved and Akage smiled, "No takers? Fine, I'll take the older one." He walked over to Kiri and cut the ropes. Kiri looked at him as he cut the ropes on her legs before she punched him.
Akage fell over, being only the size of an 8 year old, letting Kiri run toward the entrance. But she was stopped by Entei, who angrily whinnied at her, standing on it's hind legs, "Fuck…" Kiri muttered as she was knocked over. Entei went back on his hind legs, ready to step on Kiri, but Akage stopped him.
"Master Naraku does not want either of them dead," He muttered to Entei. He looked at Kiri, "You, stop trying to escape. It's been 12 hours and you still haven't done it." Kiri glared at him.
"If I had my sword, you'd all be dead," Her gaze shifted over to Kagura who was cutting Kagome's rope, "and YOU!" She pointed at Kagura, "Would be first." Kagura looked back at Kiri, who had looks of absolute anger, distrust, and lost of respect, gleaming in her eyes. Kagura looked away and grabbed Kagome by her neck, walking her past Kiri, Akage, and Entei. Akage took some more rope out and Kiri growled at him.
"I'll cooperate, just this once!" She muttered and followed after Kagura and Kagome. Akage followed her, pulling Entei by his reins, as they walked out of the cellar of their hiding place.
-Sesshoumaru-
Sesshoumaru watched the sun sit above the trees to his right, before looking at the clock in Yuna's car. It was 8:30 in the morning. He couldn't sleep, so he had been awake for more than 2 days straight. He looked back out of the window, to see his half brother's house, "Should we tell InuYasha?" He thought. He noticed his car wasn't there and frowned, "No use now since he isn't even home." He looked at Yuna's speedometer and frowned more seeing she was only going 60 miles per hour.
"Drive faster…" He muttered. Yuna looked at him confused.
"What?"
"I said, drive faster."
"Why?"
"Going this speed, you'll get there before we even have a chance to see Kiri. She'll be dead before we ever arrive!" He grumbled. Yuna panicked and stepped on gas, speeding at 115 miles per hour. Sesshoumaru thought about making her speed up more, but figured this speed would be fast enough to get them there in enough time.
-InuYasha-
InuYasha turned continued driving, a little less than 15 minutes out of the way of the cliff. He could only pray he would get there before Naraku decided to kill Kagome and Kiri. He stepped on the gas, now speeding at 125 miles per hour. He watched the road carefully as he drove, picking up more speed on the empty road. He saw a Caution Sign, that was blurred because of his speed, but took his foot off the gas, and lightly pushing on the brake, knowing that the cliff was just a few miles away now, and if he didn't slow down, would drive straight off of it.
"Don't worry guys," he thought, "I'll be there to save you!"
-Hiten-
Hiten stood outside by the cliff next to Naraku. He saw Kagome and Kagura walk out first, Kagome now in ropes since Kagura thought it to be easier to control the priestess. Hiten then looked at Kiri who was tied up, both her arms and legs, and was sitting on top of Entei, Akage behind her. Hiten cocked an eyebrow and Kiri looked to the side angry.
"She tried escaping again. Good thing Entei caught her, or else Kagura would have had a fit about watching two mortals." Akage smirked, jumping off the horse. Kiri sat on top of Entei still and Kagome looked back at her.
Naraku chuckled, "Still trying to escape. You really are still the same stubborn hanyou aren't you Kiri?" Naraku mused. Kiri looked at him, glaring, and growling. Naraku chuckled more, "All bark but no bite. Hiten, get Kiri off Entei and take her to the edge of the cliff." Kiri's eyes widened. Hiten looked over at Naraku, at first in disbelief before he walked over to Entei and Cut the ropes off of Kiri's legs before he helped her off the horse pulling her to the edge of the cliff.
Kiri closed her eyes and pressed herself against Hiten, "No… please…" She whimpered. Hiten looked over at Naraku who had an eyebrow raised.
Kagome's felt sick, watching the frail girl who was terrified to death, quiver against the man she had just been kissing downstairs.
Naraku smirked some, "Now, why would Kiri be so close to someone betrayed her, left her for dead, and let me abuse her?" Hiten grew sick as well, but held tight to Kiri's shirt, making sure she didn't fall. When Naraku received no answer, he smirked more, "Fine then. Drop her Hiten." He ordered. Kiri looked up at him.
"Please… don't… Hiten… Please…" Kiri cried. Hiten frowned some and went to let go of Kiri's clothing, "Please…" She cried, tears running down her cheeks. "Don't betray me like everyone else Hiten! I don't want to die by your hand!" She thought clamping her eyes shut. She held her breath as she picked up, and dropped.
"No." Hiten muttered. Kiri let the breath out slowly, opening her eyes to see that she was safe, away from the edge of the cliff. Kagome seemed relieved as well, but still not as comforted.
Naraku smirked, "As I thought. I should have killed you years ago. I remember when you murdered all of those people in the other era, all for power. But you can't kill a weak girl?"
Hiten glared at Naraku, "And I remembered the man, who fell in love with a mortal and sold his body to demons!" Hiten spat. Kiri covered her mouth, as Hiten gasped in pain. Everyone looked at Naraku, as a brown tentacle came out of his body, and stabbed through Hiten.
"Hiten!" Kiri cried, as Naraku pulled the tentacle out from Hiten's body. Hiten crumbled to his knees holding the wound in his middle.
"D-Damn it…" Hiten muttered. He looked up glaring at Naraku.
"HITEN!" Kiri screamed as the tentacle hit Hiten, knocking him into the air and off the cliff. She ran to edge and reached for him, their fingertips barley grazing each other as Hiten fell, dying from the wound before he ever hit the ground, "HITEN!" Kiri cried. She looked to the side, as Hiten's body hit the ground that was a little more than a mile and a half down. Kagome closed her eyes as she heard Kiri crying on the edge of the cliff, "It was my fault!" Kiri cried, "It's my fault you're dead!"
Naraku smirked, "Akage, Grab her," Akage walked over to Kiri and grabbed her by her hair, pulling her up. As soon as she stood up, he tied her hands behind her back, and pulled her over to Naraku. Kiri looked to the side, her eyes closed. Naraku chuckled to himself, "Take her the other side of the cliff by the edge. Kagura, take the priestess to that side on the edge. InuYasha shall be arriving soon." He smirked and walked over toward the road, where he could see InuYasha's car driving down. The car stopped, feet away from Naraku, and InuYasha stepped out.
"I knew I could find you here! Where's Kagome!"
"Just worried about Kagome I see? Have you forgotten about your dearest Kiri then InuYasha?" Naraku smirked.
InuYasha frowned, "How could I forget her? I'm here for her too!" InuYasha unsheathed the sword he had brought with him, growling, "Now, let Kagome and Kiri go, and I might spare your life!"
Naraku chuckled, "With my signal, InuYasha, will die right now." InuYasha growled and looked past him to see Kagome and Kiri being held by Kagura and Akage.
"Damn it." He cursed. He ran toward them, sheathing Tetsusaiga.
As soon as he reached the middle of them, Naraku chuckled, "Stop right there, or they die!" InuYasha froze and Naraku chuckled. InuYasha growled and looked at Naraku.
"Damn you Naraku!" InuYasha growled. Kiri and Kagome looked at InuYasha.
"InuYasha!" Kagome cried.
InuYasha looked at Kagome, "Are you alright Kagome?" Kiri looked at them and looked to the side, still crying because of Hiten.
Kagome smiled at him, "I'm fine. Just save us InuYasha!" InuYasha looked over at Kiri.
"Kiri!" He called. Kiri continued to look to the side, balanced on the edge of the cliff. She closed her eyes, but still tears continued to roll down her cheeks, "Kiri!"
Kiri sniffled, "What?"
InuYasha blinked some, "Kiri, are you alright!"
Kiri looked at him after she opened her eyes, "I'm fine but why would you care! You're just here for Kagome!" She shouted.
InuYasha frowned, "I'm here for you both! What are you talking about?"
Naraku chuckled, "She's not going to listen to you InuYasha. But now you must decide. Who will you save InuYasha? The woman you love, or the woman who you used to?"
InuYasha looked at Naraku, "What?"
"What will you do now InuYasha?" Naraku chuckled. He nodded to Kagura and Akage, who dropped both of the girls off of the cliff. InuYasha's eyes widened.
"InuYasha!" Kagome screamed.
"Kagome!" InuYasha yelled and jumped, grabbing on to her arm and pulled her onto the land, holding her tightly, as Kiri continued to fall.
Kiri's eyes watered more, "I knew it…" she muttered to herself, as InuYasha and Kagome's figures seemed to get smaller as she fell, "I'm so alone…" she whispered to herself, as she closed her eyes, the fall seeming to take forever.
"Kagome," InuYasha breathed relieved, "Are you alright?"
"InuYasha!" She hugged him tightly before her eyes widened, "InuYasha! Kiri!" At that moment, Yuna's car pulled up and Sesshoumaru jumped out of the car. He looked around seeing Naraku, Kagura, Entei, and Akage were no longer there.
"InuYasha, where is Kiri?" InuYasha frowned and pointed to the edge.
"I-I'm sorry Sesshoumaru…"
Sesshoumaru ran to the edge seeing Kiri almost near the bottom of the cliff, "KIRI!" He yelled. Without hesitation, Sesshoumaru jumped off of the cliff, causing everyone around them to stare surprised.
"SESSHOUMARU!" Everyone yelled, watching both fall.
