Demonic Desires

11

Kagome awoke the next morning, exhausted, and hungry. She emerged from her room and sat down in front of the fire that had been made to prepare breakfast with. Koga and the others had already gotten up and were sitting, eagerly waiting for their meal to be finished.

"Kagome?" Kaede asked tenderly, "Are ye all right?"

Kagome snapped out of her daze and looked up, "Oh yeah, I'm fine." She forged a smile on her face.

"Are you sure?" Koga asked, gripping her chin and turning her to face him, "You look upset."

"No, I'm just tired." Kagome answered truthfully. She would not tell him the real reason to her tiredness: She had been out with Inuyasha the night before, putting the necklace that Kaede had made around his neck. She succeeded and had gotten away using only one sit.

"Why are you so tired?" Miroku asked suspiciously, eyeing her as she was handed her breakfast and began eating.

"I could not get to sleep last night." Kagome replied, swallowing the food that had been in her mouth.

"Why couldn't you get to sleep?" Sango asked just as cautiously, which was unfair because Sango was supposed to be her friend. Her being suspicious was just plain wrong. Couldn't Kagome just follow her own instincts and do as she pleased, do what she thought was right?

"I was cold." Was all she said before finishing her meal and getting up and headed to her room to gather her bow and arrows. Once she had them, and her sword, she left the hut and set out once again on her search for the remnants of the Tetsusaiga.

She had wandered around the woods for a very long time with no idea of where she was going, but had only one thing in mind: To find the hilt of Inuyasha's sword.

She had her bow and arrows tossed across one shoulder, her bag on the other, and her sword on her side and her feet were aching from all of the walking she had been doing, so, she stopped and sat down, trying to rest so she could continue.

As she was resting, however, a figure stepped out of nearby bushes, startling Kagome. But when she saw who it was, she relaxed and hissed, "Kikyo."

"Kagome." She responded. "What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same question." Kagome shot back, not answering the older priestess's question.

"It seems that your powers have gotten much stronger since we last had an encounter." Kikyo commented. "Where is Inuyasha?"

"I don't know." Kagome answered truthfully because, she really had no idea. "But I'm busy, so, go away please."

"What are you doing that is so time consuming?" Kikyo asked with a smile, "The only thing I see you doing is sitting on a log."

Kagome just growled in annoyance. She already did not enjoy having Kikyo aroundmuch less brought back to life at all. All she wanted was for Kikyo to either go one somewhere and get a new life or just die again. Cruel, yes, but it was the way she felt and she could not change that.

Kikyo eyed her younger reincarnation suspiciously, looking into her eyes as if looking into her soul: The same soul they shared. "There is something you are not informing of, isn't there?"

Kagome continued to stare at Kikyo, her gaze unwavering. "No."

"Tell me now!" Kikyo shouted. "Inuyasha is in some kind of danger, is he not?"

Kagome did not want to tell her for she would then have to reveal the reason why she was out in the woods in battle gear. But, in a strange way, she wanted to tell her everything. This priestess was older and wiser and more powerful and would probably be of great help. But jealousy drove her to lie. "No, he is not in danger."

Kikyo regarded her reincarnation calmly, just staring at her. "He's not in danger?"

"No, he's not." Kagome continued to pray that Kikyo would leave.

"I see." Kikyo glanced over Kagome's outfit and weapons and big yellow bag. "Well, since you seem so busy I will leave you." She then turned and proceeded to leave, causing Kagome to sigh in relief.

Kagome watched her leave, very happy that she was not in the presence of the priestess who had pinned Inuyasha to the tree fifty years before. Then, she got up, and headed out again.

Her legs were aching from walking so much. She had looked over the same places profusely and found nothing. If Kikyo had not come along, she would have been able to search more land. But, she was not able to.

As she managed to drag herself on, through thick tangles of trees and bushes, Kagome finally collapsed onto the ground, breathing hard from her continuous scout.

Feeling the cool earth beneath her, she sighed and closed her eyes, trying to relax and catch her breath before heading out again to look for the last piece of Inuyasha's sword.

Sliding her hands across the soil, her right one came in contact with something. She jumped, unsure of what it was. At first, she thought it was a corpse or something; corpses were lying everywhere in the feudal era.

Glancing down at it, she seen something beaten up and broken, lying underneath some of the dirt. She brushed it off of the strange object and seen that it was the hilt of the sword.

She almost wanted to shriek with joy. She could not believe that she had finally found it. She had been looking for so long and now, all she needed was a fang and to get it fixed.

Wait…

A fang! That meant she had to go and get a tooth from Inuyasha's mouth! That was really dangerous and she would end up using all of her sits, probably.

She looked at the fragment of the sword in her hands with disappointment and fear. She was unsure of how to go about getting that fang, but she knew that she was not going to get it that day.

She would wait until the next day to complete her task. No matter how dangerous it was she would do it. She just had to get Inuyasha back…no matter what.

She put the piece of the sword into her big yellow bag, picked it up over her shoulder, and went back to Kaede's, thinking of her job that was to come the next day…
