Chp 10

The Return of Lady Kikyo

Kagome lay asleep in Inuyasha's arms. Her soft breath blew onto his neck. Unconsciously he clenched her tighter, and nuzzled into her hair, dreaming of her...

Kagome was the first to wake. She turned onto her side and faced him. Her eyes fluttered open and fell onto Inuyasha. His hair was back to its former silver glory, and his ears were once again onto of his head. His hands were claws, and his fangs had returned. Kagome wouldn't have it any other way. She smiled and kissed his cheek. She quietly crawled out of his arms and replaced the empty space with a body pillow. She walked out of the room, and closed the door. She fell against the wall and smiled. Her magical moments with Inuyasha, her Inuyasha...

"Kagome!"

"Hello Hojo..."

Hojo smiled an overzealous smile. He tried to hard, and Kagome though lesser of him for it. He still didn't get that she wasn't interested...How dense can that kid be!

"Where were you and Inuyasha-sama last night? The Emperor came looking for him, but he wasn't in his rooms. He's been worried."

"Inuyasha was up last studying in the abandoned training room, and I was helping him research some things. We just passed out from working so hard I guess."

Kagome gave a nervous smile. Hojo eyed her oddly but dismissed the suspicion against her.

"Makes sense!"

He gave the overconfident smile again...

"Ya well...I gotta run...bye..."

Kagome walked off towards the castle grounds. She took a turn and went to Inuyasha's chambers. She searched through his clothes till she found what she was searching for. The of Robe of the Fire Rat, Inuyasha's armor... Kagome felt the material in her hands, it was soft like cotton, but durable. It was heavy like wool, but yet it flowed in the air like silk. Kagome grabbed a nearby bag and folded the fabric into the bottom. She went to her drawers and pulled out the black hooded cape she wore to disguise herself. She grabbed the black veil in the top drawer and fastened it around her head. She dawned the cape, and left the room.

"Kikyo..."

"Who's there?"

"It is me...Naraku."

"Leave me be you fool."

"Don't you you want revenge. He sold you out, that fool Inuyasha."

"Leave me be Naraku...Let me rest in peace."

"Let me reawaken your soul, let me create you anew. A better body, one stronger and more powerful than your last one."

"Why would I trust you?"

"Because Inuyasha didn't come to save you. In fact, he's living happily with a former servant of yours. Kagome I believe. He loves her, she is his fiancee'. He fell in love again..."

Naraku smiled as Kikyo's aura changed.

"He never came..."

"No, in fact he practically spat in your face when he heard you died. He turned into a demon, then went and kissed that girl. He gave her the love you never got to experience fully. He loves her more than he did you."

Kikyo's aura changed to deep remorse. She was filled with sadness and anger flared in her lost soul. Kikyo turned to Naraku with sad eyes.

"Has he forgotten me?"

"Yes...he has."

Kikyo turned to the foul demon for comfort. He wrapped his arms around her, slipping a shard our of his sleeve.

"Do you want to be alive again?"

Kikyo nodded.

Kagome walked through the forest searching for the tree where she hid her bow and arrows. She tapped against each tree lightly, then found her hollow haven. She reached into the knot hole and pulled out her weapons. She set the arrow on the bow and walked with her arrow set and ready for anything. She wasn't taking any chances today.

"Kagome, over here."

Kagome swung around to see Mioshika hidden in the shadows.

"Your late."

"Sorry slept in."

"Right, well I saw the council last night."

"Ok and..."

"Kikyo's returned."

Mioshika causally leaned against the tree while Kagome dropped her bow from shock.

"Naraku erased her memories and twisted her thoughts around. She believes Inuyasha betrayed her. Her body...you have to see it. The power emitted from her in incredible. But thats not what gets me, its the fact...she hates you too. She says you betrayed her by loving him. Which I don't get. She died, you both fell in love, he never just forgot her, but so what if he loves you. She should be happy he found someone so great. But she thinks you stole him from her."

"How do you know all this?"

"Because she came after me..."

Kagome gasped in shock. She knew Kikyo and Mioshika were each others confidants before Kikyo died. She assumed Kikyo would come after herself first.

"I held her off, trying to knock some sense into her head. But she wouldn't listen. She just kept going on how she was cheated out of life and all. It was weird, I mean. Your sisters, she loved you alot. I don't understand her."

"Do you know the reason Kikyo was a princess?"

"Her dad is a king?"

"Besides that."

"Nope."

"Our family protects the sacred jewel. Kikyo, was the "last" person whom the protecting blood flew through. The reason she was so powerful, was from the sacred jewel. But one day it was shattered. By a battle between Kikyo and her father. Kikyo wanted to marry a half demon, but her father wouldn't allow it. Soon though, he sent off for her to marry a pure human Emperor. The emperor Naraku, who as it turns out was actually a demon. Kikyo wanted to die, she was in so much pain. So much in fact that she shattered the jewel. See the jewel is in contact with the feelings of its protector, and Kikyo was so saddened, so distressed, that the jewel was overwhelmed with emotion. It shattered from her regret and sadness."

"I never knew Kikyo protected the jewel. I always though that was a legend."

"Naraku had been collecting the shards since it shattered. So has the council, although with Naraku's power, we only have a few. We have only 15, Naraku has over 50. It's a long hard battle, but we fight it because its our duty."

"What do you mean."

"I am the last person who can see the shards. Every night almost, I'm out in the woods, searching for shards. Fighting demons, But after a year of work, I have only 3 shards to show for it."

"You should start traveling."

"I am, once the summers over. Inuyasha has to go back to the mountains. I have to stay here."

"But your his fiancee'!"

"Not for long..."

Kagome lowered her head. Her eyes welded up with tears.

"I have to tell him, he's safer that way."

"No! Kagome you musnt! You know the consequences! If he found out...you could well be in danger."

"He'd understand..."

Mioshika grabbed her friend by the shoulders and shook her.

"Do you want to put your people in danger! Do you want to protect him?"

"Yea..."

"Then you better damn well not tell him. He's in enough danger being so close to you, if you told him he would be hunted and tortured for any information, if your enemies found out."

Kagome glanced down at the ground. She knew deep inside that Mioshika was right, but she didn't want to face it.

"What should I do..."

"You need to run away. Get away from him, protect him! You know that you have to go. You know that the longer you stay here, the more danger you put him in."

Kagome was shaking, she was so confused. She knew the council needed better headquaters, and that her people were suffering. But what about Inuyasha! He needed her, she promised to always be there for him. Kagome cradled her head, she sobbed heavily. Mioshika glnaced at her with pity.

"Kagome I won't baby you like the rest of the council. You wanted to take charge of your life, remember. You wanted freedom, you have it. Make your own desision. Cause no one can or will make it for you."

Inuyasha awoke to find himself nibbling on a pillow. He spit out the feathers, and was dazed in confusion.

Where's Kagome...

Inuyasha sleepily glanced across the room. He didn't see her. He yawned heavily and passed out again.

So sleepy...

Inuyasha slept a heavy sleep. An irregular sleep, caused by the aroma of the candle Kagome lit before leaving. It would keep him asleep til she got back to blow it out.

Kagome searched through the forest for something, anything! Just something to help her. She ran along the dirt path, her hair tangled from the wind. Her tear stained face pained with fear. Why must she be afraid, why do things have to change? Questions flowed through her hear like water in a stream. The current was fast and swift, and Kagome was lost within her own mind. Her current swept her way, her knees gave way to gravity. Kagome kneeled on the ground. She took out the Robe of the Fire Rat. She stared at the fabric like it was a haven. She buried her face into the material and wept like no tomorrow. She didn't want to lose him. Not again...she couldn't bear to live. Inuyasha was her only reason to keep fighting, to live. Her people...they were the reason she was alive. She had people that needed her, that depended on her. Kagome had to be strong, and if losing Inuyasha was what she had to do...then she had to...she had to give up her reason to live...

Kagome walked into the room with a sullen face, she gentle bent down and blew out the candle. She turned towards the bathroom and cleaned her face. She brushed out the tangles in her hair, and changed her clothing. She wore the dress Inuyasha gave her. She smiled sadly, knowing she had so little time left with him. She crawled into the makeshift bed they had prepared the night before, and wiggled into his arms. She wrapped her arms around her Inuyasha, her love, her pain, her eternal bliss...

review!

OK so whats up with Kagome stealing the Robe of the Fire Rat?¿? I dunno...yes i do, but u dont haha. SO Naraku used Kikyo's distressed soul and made her return once again! What will Inuyasha do? He promised himself to two women, many he's screwed. But ok what ev...

Ok so what cha think. Soon I will put up my new story. I plan to make it like a star wars/titan a.e/alien/space thing. But it will be action pack and full of romance. But it will also be sad, cause I plan to really work the story line. So please read it, even if sci fi isnt ur thing, i encourage you to read it cause i promise it will definitely entertain you! REVIEW!
