Erin: HEY! Calm down! I'm excited too, but there's another UNHAPPY issue that we need to attend too FIRST!
What?
Erin/sigh/... /points to number of reviews which is... 3/
WHAT THE HELL!
Erin: Yep, you got 3 reviews total for chapter 9.
/sigh/ Please, ppl. If you look at chapter 9, it was huge! Not to mention REALLY hard to write! I'm a teen over here, as most of us are. I want to be an author some day and have even started to write my own novel! When I get close to none as the number of reviews(and I'm pretty sure other authors feel this way too) when I work really hard on a chapter, it doesn't make me feel too hot! What happened too the 11 ppl that have me on author alert, huh? Oh well, I don't mean to pry and I don't mean to preach. Well... here's the story. Oh, and I don't own Inuyasha.
Erin: WAIT! I NEED AN INPUT! REVIEW THIS TIME CAUSE WAS GENNA'S BIRTHDAY ON THE 29th!
Erin... I told you not to mention that! Oh, and I'm STILL giving you one more chance to vote on San/Mir 'cause I only got two votes! One 'yes' one 'no'... argh! Life is so complicated...
...(hopefully the line I'll show up this time!)
All is set... Naraku thought evilly. Kagome had proved that she could just resist his control... it was something that he did not want repeated...
It shall need the complete Shikon no Tama, but if that's what it takes, so be it. This plan shall be successful. Inuyasha SHALL fall... that is certain...
A malevolent grin found it's way onto Naraku's face.
Prepare for my arrival... Kagome...
(ARGH! The line isn't showing up! Place change!)
Kagome felt a sudden chill down her spine as she was preparing the nights meal with the rest of the Inuyasha gumi. She looked around, the feeling felt familiar, but she didn't know from where.
"Is something wrong, Kagome?" Sango inquired.
"Oh? Nothing!" Kagome smiled as she shook the feeling off.
Musta been imagining it... Kagome thought.
(Time skip)
"YUM! That was a great meal, Kagome!" Shippo cheered happily, a few pieces of food still clinging to the side of his mouth, causing Kagome to smile.
"I'll go carry the rest of the garbage into the forest, okay?" Kagome said happily taking the rest of the food scraps in her hands as she rose up and walked off. As soon as Kagome was out of earshot, Sango and Miroku took their chance.
"So... Inuyasha..." Sango began, a mischievous smile on her face. Although, Sango's look appeared innocent next to Miroku's Cheshire Cat grin that scared even Inuyasha.
"Got any... ideas concocting in that little mind of yours?" Miroku inquired.
"What do you want?" Inuyasha asked the two, glaring at them menacingly.
"We know you have something planned," Miroku explained, "What is it?"
"You put Kikyo's soul to rest, you must be serious..." Sango continued.
"WAIT!" Inuyasha yelled to Miroku, "How the hell does Sango know about that, huh, Miroku?"
"Uh..."
"Don't try to change the subject!" Sango shouted, "Have you chosen!"
"What?"
"Way to be blunt, Sango..."
Sango sighed... I'm surrounded by idiots... Sango thought. (Beta's note: Wow! I can write meaningless crap(KW: IT'S NOT CRAP!) just like an author! yay/ahem/ Sango is taking after me just there, I invented the phrase, and perfect execution of "I'm surrounded by idiots." thank you.)
"Have you chosen between Kagome and Kikyo?"
Inuyasha stared at Sango, dumfounded for a moment. Then, slowly, a deep blush began to seep up his face(a.k.a anime style!). Inuyasha's face shot straight down word as he began to stare at the ground.
"AHA! We were correct, Sango!" Miroku cheered in victory over Inuyasha's expression.
"Ah, have you chosen Kagome!" Sango said, pure delight in her voice.
"MY PERSONAL BUSINESS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU TWO, ALRIGHT!" Inuyasha retorted, losing his cool from all their questions and probing.
Miroku was slightly shocked, while Sango had a look of guilt on her face.
"I'm sorry, Inuyasha," Sango said, "It really is none of our business."
Wow, he's especially snappy when it comes to Kagome, but I wish I knew what was going on. Oh well, I'll just probe Kagome if anything happens...'
"Naw, I was being an ass," Inuyasha admitted, flopping on his back, "I shouldn't have blown up in your faces like that."
"But were we correct?" Miroku asked again.
"Argh, I thought we had dropped this subject, Miroku!" Inuyasha groaned, sitting up once more.
"We're just looking out for Kagome! Will you tell us if we promise not to breathe a word to anyone else? Please!" Sango cheekily asked.
"What? After Miroku's already proved how great he is at keeping secrets?" Inuyasha said, glaring at the monk once more, who nervously laughed in return.
"Please, Inuyasha! I'll keep him in check!" Sango pleaded.
Inuyasha sighed. They aren't gonna quit... are they? He thought.
(Place Change)
Ugh! There's that shiver again! Kagome thought, rubbing her arm for comfort. It was cold all of a sudden. Something inside her was screaming for her to run, and she obeyed when she thought she saw something move out of the corner of her eye. Kagome was running full speed back to camp, when someone blocked her way. Kagome gasped...
Naraku...
"Well, well, Kagome. So we meet again." Naraku maliciously said.
Kagome tried to scream, but she couldn't. Neither could she move. Her eyes became wild and she began looking around feverishly. It only caused Naraku to laugh.
"You fool of a wench. So easily you have forgotten our last meeting? How you defied my spell last time, how I am uncertain, but I shall not fail again!" Naraku raised his hand to Kagome's forehead and let out a pulse of energy. Almost instantly, the memories came to Kagome...
(Flashback)
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!" Kagome had screamed, in an attempt to run from Naraku.
"You cannot escape! Kagura!" Naraku called as Kagura pinned Kagome down to the earth.
Naraku stepped over her form, bent down, and placed a jewel shard in her forehead, arms, and legs at the thigh and shin.
"There..." he said triumphantly, "Stage one of the plan is complete... Prepare to hear my voice soon, Kagome... very soon..."
(End Flashback)
Kagome's breathing was becoming heavy. Back at the spring, the voice, her body moving against her will, it was all Naraku! The had control over her! It was like something out of a Sci Fi movie, as if she had been brain washed!
"Seems that you remember now, Kagome!" Naraku laughed darkly, "I came here to complete the job!"
Naraku reached into his shirt and withdrew a large chunk of the jewel... the remainder of it's complete form. He examined it closely, admiring the dark light of it's now evil aura. Just the fell of it's immense evil made Kagome want to puke. She was brought back to her senses when Naraku began to speak again.
"It seems the rest of this will have to be driven into your flesh as well."
Naraku walked straight in front of Kagome and crushed the rest of the jewel in his fist. He grinned at Kagomes look of shock. He began to place the shards in her arms, legs, stomach, forehead, cheeks, and the largest amount in her chest, to control her heart.
"There," Naraku said, lifting Kagome's chin, "We'll complete the plan in the next few days... See you then."
Suddenly, Kagome felt lips against hers... Naraku was KISSING HER! His lips were freezing, like someone with hypothermia! Kagome was freaking out, but she could not move. Finally, Naraku stepped away and with a flash, was gone. Kagome blacked out and fell to the ground. Instantly, Kagome forgot everything about her meeting with the fiend.
"Huh?" she said confusedly, "I-I must have fallen..."
With that, she stood up and went back to camp.
(A/N)
There ya go! Naraku's plan revealed! The final battle approaches! So... reviews for my B-day?
Thanks to Hanyo no Kizu, Kagome wooohoooooo, and Angel6587 for reviewing!
