Crystal-Chan - Hello everyone! Here is the next chapter! I'm sorry I
haven't been able to update this in a while, but I don't anyone stuck with
it long enough to care . . . -_- Dang. Anyway, I think this is where the
'horror' part of the genre comes in. Oh yes. And a bit of Kagome harassing,
but it was necessary to make Naraku's son look evil-er.
Disclaimer: Yeah right. If I owned Inuyasha, which I don't, I wouldn't be writing fanfics about it. Well, maybe I would, but I'd be spending more time making the manga and anime.
Never-Ending Cycle
Chapter 7
~*~*~*~
Kagome ran a hand through her hair. She looked into the mirror in her room and sighed. A noise at the end of the room made her ears twitch and she tensed. Then the intruders' scent reached her nose.
"Inuyasha? I want to talk to you." Kagome said softly. A slim hand rested on her shoulder. Kagome looked up to meet the eyes of her mate.
"Koibito, something has been bothering you. Tell me." Inuyasha urged, his gaze soft. Kagome lowered her eyes and shivered slightly, looking uncertain. Inuyasha made a small, comforting whining noise and licked Kagome ear in reassurance. Kagome leaned into his chest.
"I have a bad feeling, like something will happen. Something bad." Kagome said.
"Why do you think that?" Inuyasha said, expecting no proof of anything happening. He was greatly surprised and angered by what came next.
"I KNOW that because . . .N- Narakus' son contacted me t- through a dream . . ." Kagome whispered, shuddering in remembrance.
"What?! That kisama contacted you!" Inuyasha yelled, outraged. A knock came from the door. "What?" Inuyasha snapped. The door opened and Sesshomaru strode in.
"Kagome, I suggest you tell us this dream. It may be important." Sesshomaru said, partially acknowledging Inuyasha.
"O- Okay." Kagome said. She took a deep breath and began . . .
~*~*~*~Dream Sequence~*~*~*~ Kagome ran yelling. Everything was black. The air was thick.
"Someone get me out of this dream!" Kagome yelled.
"I assure you, this is no dream. Perhaps, nightmare is more fitting?" The voice was a raucous cacophony to Kagome's sensitive ears. It was a calm, flowing voice, dripping with evil and malice underneath its' calm exterior. Kagome whirled. HE was there. The spawn of Naraku. "Hello, lovely demoness." Kagome was slightly taken back, but soon realized this was either a trick or it was Onigumo's lust for Kikyo speaking, though how she could possibly STILL be connected to Kikyo was beyond her.
"Why are you here?" Kagome demanded, growling feral.
"Well, I'm here to ask you a question." He said, feigning thoughtfulness. Kagome was confused.
"What?"
"Well, how shall I kill you and all your kin? Slowly, painfully, quickly, by hypnosis and controlling you to destroy them all. And I shall view it all; bask in the fear and sorrow that will infest their eyes. Their blood shall be spilt by your claws." Naraku's spawn grinned maliciously. "Oh, yes! And then you shall awaken to see the murder you caused! Shall I do that? Let's see what shall happen!" He laughed evilly. The blackness swirled and mutated, Suddenly a hole appeared under Kagome. She fell. Blackness and other dark colors swirled around her. The collage of colors was dizzying. Suddenly it stopped and she hit the ground.
"Agh! Ow!" Kagome cried. Her demon powers caused the pain to disintegrate in a matter of seconds. She looked around. The darkness subsided. Kagome gasped. The bodies of her family lay there. "I- Inuyasha, Saiai, Kaikatsu, Junsui, Otokomae . . . Oh my God!" Her hands flew up to her face. The mangled bodies were torn and strewn about. Blood flowed freely along the floor, as if a morbid happiness of being free of the now lifeless bodies which trapped it were flowing through it, causing it to run everywhere in joy. All the lifeless, wide eyes were facing her, staring at her, frozen in an expression, which was the middle of a scream of pain and terror. 'This nightmare is terrible! Let me wake up!' Kagome screamed.
"K- Kagome?" Kagome eyes snapped open. 'That voice . . .'
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, expecting her mate to arrive to save her, unharmed and full of life. Soon, she heard other voices.
"Mother . . . Motherrrrrrrrrrr . . ." 'My children!' A movement caught her eye. It came from the body identified as Inuyasha's. The head rose and faced her fully. Kagome screamed. A bleeding socket gazed at her, but what frightened her most was why there was only one. Half of Inuyasha's head had been melted off. He brought himself up to a crouch on his only bleeding arm.
"Hello my sweet . . . Sing your song again. It sounds almost like mine and your children's . . .except ours was filled with the terror you caused . . . the pain you inflicted . . .when you murdered usss . . . " Inuyasha sneered. All the other bodies took their cue and rose, injured and disintegrated in varying ways.
"Okaa-san . . . Are you happy with your work? Are you satisfied . . .?" All the mouths moved as one, taunting voice, saying the words like a well- recited chant.
"N- No! I- I . . .!" Kagome screamed, and finally broke down, falling back down, holding herself . . .
A hand wrapped itself around her neck and squeezed. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha.
"Noooo!" Kagome screamed. Suddenly, it all disappeared. Kagome felt the relief of tension on her neck and fell forward, onto a muscular chest. She looked up with tear-filled eyes. Naraku's son was kneeling in front of her. Her looked down at her. She gasped and made a move to scoot away but clumsily fell back. He made a movement and suddenly he was holding her chin and forcing to look at him. His black cloak fell about his from loosely and brushed her. She shuddered.
"My father's human half was passed down to me, but the emotions were stronger, seeing as you destroyed most of his youkai half. . ." He said. He brought his mouth down to brush Kagome's lips. Kagome's eyes widened and she gasped. The man looked pleased with the reaction, "But I still feel the lust . . . But just because I am more human than youkai doesn't make me weak, as you must know by know. . . " Images of her dead family in the previous dream scenery flashed about her head as Kagome shuddered. "Remember the strength of my father, but ten-fold!" Kagome's chin hurt slightly, and she was immobile.
"K- Kisa- "Kagome gritted out, furious at her easy capture and violation of space. He smirked.
"Please, don't use such vulgar terms . . ." He brought his face down once more so the pairs' noses were touching. "The words were not befitting of you . . .nor your beauty. . . Call me Kagemaru." He brought his lips down and Kagome screamed into the kiss.
~*~*~*~
Kagome brought her arms up to hold herself as she finished. Inuyasha's eyes were a menacing shade of red. Kagome didn't try to calm him down when she scented his rage; the emotion made her feel protected.
"That-! If he ever does that again I'll find him and rip out his organs one by one via his throat!" Inuyasha said. His thoughts and emotions were sending a mental picture too both of Kagome and Sesshomarus' minds. Sesshomaru snorted.
"Ten-fold power. Keep that in mind. Kagome, I would have thought you would have humbled him by now." Kagome gave him a look, then pointed at Inuyasha as if to say," Humble HIM?". Sesshomaru sighed. "We can't be impulsive like my brother here. We need a plan." Suddenly, a cry rang out through the palace. Kagome's ears twitched.
"Saiai!" She ran to Saiai's room where the child was crying and promptly cradled her as Inuyasha stepped in. "What's wrong?"
"I *hic* had a bad dream! Otou-san *hic* was ripping a mans guts out through his mouth!" Saiai cried. Kagome blinked then turned to Inuyasha, who had promptly started to whistle and back out of the room. He saw her gaze and whimpered. He ran.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled.
TBC . . .
Crystal-Chan: Well, what do you think? Should I change the rating? If you shuddered you something and are about to flame me, you have experienced the desired affect. Why, I don't know. You just did. Review please!
