Tsubaki's Curse
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha
Chapter 4
A month later...
Normal P.O.V.
She'd seen Kikyo earlier that day. Kikyo, the guardian of the Sacred Jewel. Why did it have to be Kikyo and not her? If she could only bring her down and show her sensei Kikyo was not worthy of holding and protecting the Sacred Jewel. But how? Kikyo was pure and untainted. Yes. Pure and untainted. Perhaps she'd have to work harder on increasing her spiritual powers.
"What're you thinking 'bout?" she was rudely interrupted by a silver-haired hanyou that kept raining kisses on her neck.
"Hmm... that I may not be able to see you from now on..." she said, mostly to herself.
"What?" he asked, raising himself to see her face, just to make sure she wasn't joking.
She turned away slightly.
"Why?" he continued interrogating.
"I need to prove myself as a priestess... and I'm afraid I'm not pure enough to continue against Kikyo..." she said.
"Kikyo?" he repeated.
"Yes. See, I was born in this village and Kikyo is but a traveling priestess that has decided to stay for awhile. Since her mystical powers are greater than mine, I'm standing in second place. I cannot continue seeing you if I want to increase my spiritual powers, it's just not possible."
He reasoned he was clearly not that important to her. He was silent for a minute than he pushed himself away from her, stood up, and pulled his hakama back on. She watched as he fully dressed himself, thinking or plain refusing to look at her.
"Then I guess this is goodbye!" he said, turning away.
She sighed. She was hoping he'd help her out somehow or at least tell her what to do. She didn't want it all to just end.
She gathered her garb and stood.
"I don't regret this, you know," she said, slipping into her garb and putting everything into place. She blew him a kiss and headed towards the entrance of the cave.
"Don't leave!" he almost whispered as his hand reached to grab her wrist.
She turned to meet his lowered face. his eyes were completely covered by his silvery bangs.
"I'll help you get rid of her!" he finished.
Her eyes widened. 'Get rid of her?' she thought.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Simple as that, she had him wrapped around her finger. Was he in love with her? He didn't know. All he knew was that she was a vital as water to him and that he would do anything to please her. Anything to keep her there.
Or at least that's what he thought.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
It had been a week after Tsubaki had shared her plan with the hanyou, she told him everything he needed to know... but still kept a few details to herself. She didn't fully trust the half-breed. Who knew? He could easily betray her for the powerful jewel. That was a chance she wasn't about to give him. She was surprised he had not heard of Kikyo, and if he didn't know about Kikyo, he most likely didn't know about the jewel. So she kept that information to herself. Kikyo knew to keep her mouth shut about protecting the jewel, therefore, having her tell the half-breed wasn't a risk.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
It was all set, but to make sure it would work, she'd have to first curse the miko. After battling demons with her for a while, Tsubaki couldn't help but smirk in expectancy of Kikyo's downfall. Kikyo seemed amused at her expression, but knew not to ask.
The little girl beside Kikyo noticed as well but followed as her elder sister turned around and began walking away from the turquoise-eyed priestess.
"You're very skilled, Kikyo..." Tsubaki began.
A/N: (Very short chapter, ne?) I know, I know... I promised I wouldn't take so long... and what do I do? I break my promise. Oh gosh, I'm sorry to the very few who have been following this fanfic. I know you're all impatient for this InuYasha/Tsubaki thing to end and I understand. Don't worry, as you can see... that's less than a chapter away. Please R&R. Oh... and don't worry, InuYasha isn't evil.
