Revenge of the Forgotten Love

Chapter 2Planing and Preparing

The water from the small stream trickled over the edge of rocks and created a small waterfall. The scene was beautiful much like the woman watching it. However the woman's beauty didn't stop the man that she loved from running off with her ignorant reincarnation.

Her reincarnation, a girl from the future named Kagome, came and stole the heart of her love Inuyasha. At the time she, Kikyo guardian of the sacred jewel, had been in the afterlife as a result of Naraku's plan. After she was resurrected by Urasua, Inuyasha had been with the wretch for a while and had developed some feelings for her.

Kikyo clenched her fist as she thought, 'Inuyasha, I will make you realize your mistake. And perhaps even win you back from that girl. Neither of us should have him since I'm dead and she's from a different era. However I've been give a chance to be among the living and if I can't have him then neither can you, Kagome.'

' All that Inuyasha needs is some motivation and he will come back. However, what would make him forget Kagome,' she asked herself. Then a memory flashed through her mind:

She had been sitting near a stream when Inuyasha and his group passed by on the road across from her. Inuyasha and Kagome had been arguing for some childish reason when Kouga showed up. Inuyasha all of the sudden was being protective of her like she was his owner and he was the dog.

'Jealousy,' she thought, 'one emotion that can stir up so many others if Inuyasha will not come to me then I'll go to someone else. Someone that he hates but who?' Then she thought,' Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's older brother. He's a full youkia while Inuyasha's a half-breed, surely he's jealous. Now how will I get him to cooperate?'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Kagome just woke up after passing out from the wound Naraku gave her in the battle yesterday. "Kagome, how are you feeling," Inuyasha asked.

"Well, my chest doesn't hurt that much, I'm pretty tired though," she replied.

"Then you just rest, we don't have a reason to rush anymore," said Inuyasha as he went out of the hut to talk to Miroku who was sitting outside by himself. Sango and Shippo were inside taking care of Kagome.

"So Inuyasha, where do we go from here," Miroku asked.

"Well it depends where the sacred jewel is," he said. "The last time I saw it was – Kikyou carried it off!"

"Are you sure, Inuyasha," Miroku asked, "Because I don't remember seeing Kikyou pick it up."

"Of course I'm sure," he yelled. " She picked it up when I was walking toward her then I got side tracked with Kagome! She must have left after that!"

Miroku looked disappointed for a moment before smiling and saying," Well at least now we don't have to track it down. I'm sure that Lady Kikyou will take it back to the afterlife with her."

"What she can't do that, I still have to use the jewel to become a full youkia," he yelled as he was about to run off.

"Inuyasha, wait," Kagome said as she sat up. She had heard the last part of the conversation and didn't like the idea of Inuyasha making his wish. "Inuyasha, Kikyou hasn't gotten rid of the jewel yet so relax. We can go find her in a few days."

"What! A few days! She'll probably have destroyed the jewel by then," he shouted. "I ca – I mean we can't afford to wait around!"

"Calm down, Inuyasha," Sango said," Besides the jewel can only be destroyed in the cave where it was created. Kikyou isn't near the cave, is she Kagome?"

"No, in fact she's about twice as far from the cave then we are," Kagome answered.

"See ,Inuyasha, we could easily get there before Kikyou if we needed to," Miroku said," so lets relax while Kagome heals then we can go get the Shikon no Tama."

"Alright, but we go get the jewel as soon as Kagome's well. But if you sense the jewel going anywhere near the cave then I want to know," said Inuyasha.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kikyou was walking through the wood, heading to the village of Houronson. She had made her plan and was about to put it into action, but she needed one last thing to before she began.

She needed the sword of Shokaru first lord of the Western Lands. It had been passed down from generation to generation until it was lost in battle several centuries ago. Surely Sesshomaru would pay highly for it. She would also offer to regenerate his arm. And if he refused to help her she would offer him the jewel, but she hoped it wouldn't come to that.

At last, she entered the village. The village was much like her own small, and peaceful. She sighed thinking of her village, she missed it a lot and wished her life could have continued as it had been. But alas, it could not.

As she entered Houronson Village she approached one of the villagers. "Excuse me," she said," but could you tell me where I might find the headman of your village?"

The old man responded," Ah, a priestess are you? We've been in need of one such as you."

Kikyou then asked," What do you mean?"

"Well, my Lady, there has been some kind of demon attacking lately. But I'm sure the town lord will tell you about that. You will find him in that house over there, but be wary he doesn't usually trust newcomers,but he'll probably trust such a fair lady such as you.Good luck, priestess."

Kikyou nodded as she started toward the head man's house. 'Something isn't right. There are no signs of a battle here, and I don't sense any demonic aura around here either. I suppose that I shall find out sooner or later though,' she thought.

She approached the lord's house and was greeted buy a servant who took her to the lord's room. The lords room was rather large and decorated with all manner of valuables. What caught Kikyou's eye was the sword of Shokaru on display behind the headman. The sword looks alot like the Tensaiga save that the hilt was wooden and black. The lord that sat in front of the sword had black hair and blue eyes. He had a stern face but seemed to be a good kind- hearted man. "Welcome, I am Sekan, headman of the town. And you are?"

"I am Kikyou a priestess from a far off village," she replied.

"Please have a seat," he stated. "Tea," he asked motioning to a cup. She shook her head in reply. " Well is there something I can help you with," Sekan asked.

"Actually, I believe that we can help each other," Kikyou said. " I have heard that your village is being plagued by a youkia, and I'm willing to offer my assistance."

"You are willing to help us," he asked somewhat surprised. She nodded as he continued," It is true we are being attacked every night by something. We aren't sure what it is, but the villagers say that it looks like a shadow and kills the villagers by some unknown means. The high elders here believe that it is the evil spirit of a dead youkia."

'Could it be, no its not possible, Naraku is in the deepest pits of hell,' Kikyou thought. " From the sounds of it I believe that it is a spirit, and I will try my best to be rid you of this specter," she said to him.

"I am very much appreciative of your kindness, Lady Kikyou," Sekan said."I believe that you said that I could help you with something?"

"I am aware that you have the sword of the youkia lord Shokaru in your possession," Kikyou inquired," I am in need of it to perform a task. I will take the sword as payment for destroying the specter if you are willing to part with it, that is."

"Hmm, you drive a hard bargain priestess, but if giving up my most prized possession means the safety of my people then I will gladly pay the price," Sekan said. "You will receive your payment when you destroy the spirit. You may stay in my guest room if you wish. The maids here will bring you whatever you desire. Until tonight, Lady Kikyo," he said as they stood and bowed before leaving the room.

A maid then led Kikyou to her temporary quarters. Her room was relatively large and decorated fairly well. The view was the most appealing feature to Kikyou though since it over looked the village from the hilltop on which the house stood. Kikyou stood there looking over the village. As she did she couldn't help but think,' Surely this spirit is not Naraku. The purifyed jewel severed the bond between himself and this world. As a result Naraku was sent to the afterlife, he could not have come back... or at least not so soon. I will find out tonight when this 'spirit' appears'

Well that was my second chapie. Hope you enjoyed it. Well next chapie we'll find out if the so called 'spirit' is Naraku. See you next time and please review! Thanks.
