WARNING: This chapter contains content that is rather questionable. As in, near rape, again. Lol

I've finally discovered the pattern of things for my updates. I'll pretty update every weekend, just because that's when I have time. Woo. For those of you who constantly ask when the evil people of this story come in, it starts in this chapter. This is where the plot thickens –twiddles fingers and cackles-… yes well umm… heh heh

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters and I never will. I also don't own the title Maybe Memories which is actually a song by The Used! The lyrics are at the end of the chapter, as always.

Enjoy!

Maybe Memories

Enter: Lady Kyoko

Laughing knowingly her mother nodded "Yes… That's the way my dress was, and my mothers, and her mothers… It's just the way most brides have their dresses."

"Blahhhhk." Was all that Kagome had to respond to this.

A pair of eyes was watching through the window of the kitchen at the bride to be. Scurrying to the other window it looked in on the hanyou groom to be. It cackled lightly and rose up onto its wretched little wings and into the morning to report news to its master.

Landing on the ledge of an old house, the gremlin type creature scurried in through the window and bowed down to its master. Its master motioned it to her side as she glared down at the shivering boy. Things weren't going well for her, and it angered her.

The lady Kyoko rose from her chair to lash out at the boy with her fire whip "Hojo. I sent you to do something and I expected you to follow through with this. What did I send you to do? What simple task?" she hissed out.

For the second time in two days Hojo felt as if he would piss his pants. This time he would not, because he knew it would infuriate his mistress "You sent me to take Kagome Higurashi as my own. I am sorry, I have failed you. I didn't know how much power she had. Nor that man with her."

Kyoko was becoming infuriated and she threw a ball of fire across the room "With Naraku gone, I'm in charge. ME. He's depending on me and my abilities! And if I don't follow through, it's MY ass on the line. You worthless piece of human filth, I can no longer deal with you!"

With this she strode forward and stuck a finger in Hojo's ear and into his brain, frying it with her fire power and watching him fall down to the ground, lifeless, his eyes slightly burnt too. She looked to her other gremlins and spat out "Get rid of the body and pack my things." After this she thought to herself as she went to sit down 'So we can return to the other time and prepare things for this wench that proves so hard to rid ourselves of.'

The spy gremlin came forward again and lowered in a bow, waiting for her to acknowledge him. Five minutes later she finally flicked her hand to show him to start talking. He bowed once more before continuing "Mistresssss Kyokoooo. The hanyou and the miko are preparing for a marriaaage. Shhhhhall weee intervene and prevent itsss?"

The fire demoness stood and paced a bit, shaking her head "No. Not at all, we'll allow it. This means we'll be able to break the girl easier when she goes for her second marriage in the other time… And along with the girl, we can break that filthy hanyou too. This is working out splendid."

"Yesssss, itsss isss. Head massster asssksss usss to ssssend him word of your planssss."

"O, of course. Tell him I plan to take a different route than Naraku had. I plan to get rid of the girl first, because she is, obviously, that filthy hanyou's weakness. Plus, she's the REAL obstacle in the master's way. If we allow those hidden powers to emerge, there is no way our master can go through with his plan. Tell the master I will bring the girl to him in two weeks time."

With that the spy gremlin bowed again and flew off into the brightening day to alert its real master of the demonesses plans.

Back in the Higurashi home a couple days later, the family was setting up the last little details of Kagome's and Inuyasha's wedding. They planned on holding it at the Higurashi shrine, with her grandpa to perform the ceremony.

"Dangit! Why won't you just stay there?" Kagome growled in frustration as she once again placed the table covers on the tables. Inuyasha was watching in amusement and finally got up to help her. He placed a rock over the table cover to keep it on and then sat down in one of the chairs.

A look of utter incredulity crossed Kagome's face as she turned to Inuyasha "We can't just use rocks to hold the table cloths down!"

"Why not?" Inuyasha replied, confused at what was wrong with using a rock to hold them in place. It worked.

"Because it's UGLY!" She took the rock off and is if on cue, the wind picked up and blew the table cloth off. She gave a humanly growl, retrieved the table cloth once against and placed the rock on top of it. "Feh."

Smiling at his mate he stood up and wrapped his arms around her, nuzzling her neck and bringing her close to him. It was so adorable when she acted like him!

Kagome's graduation and her wedding pretty much flew by in the next two days. She said her farewells to her friends, because she would most likely not be seeing them ever again. She sort of hoped it would end up like that.

And soon she was preparing to leave for the feudal era. Her home, the time she should have been born in the first place. Waving back at her mom, promising her to visit, the couple leaped down the well and into the era, to jump right into another wedding.

"KAGOME! INUYASHA! HURRY! THE WEDDING IS STARTING IN 15 MINUTES!" yelled Shippou as he motioned them to the village.

When they finally reached the village, due to Inuyasha's laziness, Sango and Miroku had already been wed. Kagome urged Inuyasha to go get ready as she did herself. She walked dreamily to a hut that was set off in the distance, meant specifically for weddings.

She removed her clothes and slowly put the white kimono on, tracing the few green tracings on it before fixing her hair and walking out the hut door. But without a chance to scream she was snatched from the doorway in arms that were rough and cold, a little slimy as if the arms had blood on them.

The taste against her small lips was revolting. It tasted of dried blood and sweat but reeked of death, reptiles and bodily fluids she'd rather not smell. She was gagging, trying to force herself to bite the person but being unable to. Where was Inuyasha?

The creature stole her into the night, and to an ancient castle where she was promptly thrown into a dungeon, all the time she had been fighting with everything she had. This creature was too strong for her. As she lay on the cold stone floor, her body bruised, she looked up and got her first look at the demoness that she would soon grow to hate more than anything she had ever hated.

Lady Kyoko sauntered over to the girl and pulled her up by her hair, placing a harsh kiss on the girl's lips and then biting down on Kagome's lower lip. Hard. Hard enough for the woman to take out an odd piercing and place it in Kagome's lip.

Kagome whimpered and tried to get away from the woman, blood running down from the hole in her lower lip to her chin. But the woman just pressed her up against the wall and kissed her again harshly and started licking the blood up. The woman dug her claws into Kagome's right breast, then threw the miko down to the floor and straddled the girl's waist.

"Get off me!" Kagome screeched out, the sound pain filled and frightened. She was hitting and squirming and struggling with all her might, but found none of this gave her any advantage to getting away. Was she going to be raped… By a woman?

Grinding hardly against the human on the floor then bending down to lick the inside of Kagome's ear, biting down again and putting more earrings in Kagome's ears "Oh, no child. The lord wants you… And the lord doesn't like a fight in a woman. So I'll happily fix that for him. So just lie still the first time, and I won't have to be so hard on you next time."

Shivering with fear she continued to struggle, only to be punched hardly in the face. She hissed in pain, her eye stinging harshly and her head feeling woozy. She still managed to struggle against the demon woman, even while she was beginning to get light headed.

Her body was taking a beating, her clothes soon falling to the floor in bloody, burnt shreds. With one last word left on her bloody, swollen lips she fell into a dark oblivion "Inuyasha…"

Lady Kyoko was about to get the job truly done, but was suddenly flung back into a wall harshly, cracking her ribs, by a blue-silver light. Getting up she cursed and began to try and get at the girl, but was thrown back again. This went on for some time before she finally gave up and just chained the girl up to the wall by her wrists.

With one last thing, Kyoko placed a choke collar around Kagome's neck which would prevent her from getting away. It would cause the girl severe pain every time she would try to disobey Kyoko's words. Smiling evilly, the fire demoness took Kagome's fragile chin and lifted it up, staring into the girls slightly opened, swollen and bruised eyes "Now lovely, you look so much better in black and blue. Be a dear and wait for me to come back to you."

Back in the village, Inuyasha was getting impatient of Kagome. He knew the ritual from the first time and knew Kagome was supposed to be moving down the aisle. About 20 minutes ago. Finally he growled in frustration and stalked off towards the hut he knew she was in.

"Mate! What the hell is taking you so long?" He yelled out as he walked towards the hut. But when he began nearing it, he didn't catch Kagome's scent. It didn't hit him hard and strong like her scent usually did… It was faint. He began to become worried and ran to the hut and without thinking to knock he threw the door open to find the hut empty.

His mate was missing. His Kagome was missing. He sniffed around and caught a foreign scent on the side of the doorstep that smelled of dried blood, that wasn't Kagome's. And he looked at the mat of the house to find a few droplets of Kagome's sweet blood, and Kagome's white wedding kimono, dropped on the ground.

He growled out violently and tore the hut apart, all the time yelling to himself "How could I not know! How couldn't I tell when she left! She'll die without me! KAGOME!"

The ruckus Inuyasha was making drew people towards the hut. Sango and Miroku slowly walked towards the hanyou but were soon faced by a distraught, violent slightly more demonic Inuyasha. He growled out and showed his fangs "Where's my mate? Where the hell is she?"

Showing her hands so he'd know she meant no harm, Sango walked towards him "Calm down Inuyasha. What do you mean?" Miroku moved up to Sango and put her safely behind him. He would have nothing hurt his bride, his love. And at the moment Inuyasha was considered a danger to her safety.

"My mate! She's gone! They took her! WHO TOOK HER? WHO THE FUCK TOOK MY MATE!" He growled out maliciously and slashed the hut once more, causing it to sway on its supports.

"Wait… Somebody took Lady Kagome? Who took her?" asked the monk who was pushing Sango out the door of the hut and into safety while he remained in the hut with the raging hanyou.

"If I FUCKING knew human do you think I'd still fucking be here!" Inuyasha lashed out as he punched the wall of the hut again.

"Be still Inuyasha… Whoever took Kagome, we'll find them and her, alright? Now come on out of here…" Miroku soothed, trying to get Inuyasha to calm and come with him.

"Hell yah we will! AND I'LL RIP THEM TO SHREDS AND PICK THEIR BONES CLEAN! Why the hell should I come out?"

"The hut is about to collapse Inuyasha… And you'll get hurt if it collapses on you."

"Why the hell does it matter if I get hurt? HUH?"

"Because if you get hurt, you can't help Kagome, or find her. Now come out." Miroku was beginning to back out himself.

Snarling the hanyou slowly calmed a bit and walked out of the hut. He instantly dropped to the ground at the mat in front of the door and began to follow the scent of his mate. He could feel her pain, even if he wasn't sure what was happening to her, he knew she was in pain.

Ignoring the staring people and the collapsing hut, he sprinted off towards the scent; the spots where her scent spiked in fear were the strongest and helped him to find her. He was slashing a path of destruction, letting nothing get in his way. The hanyou was truly in a rage he couldn't control, and no one else could control.

All that was on the hanyou's mind were "Mate. Must find. Must find bastard that took mate. She's mine!"

Pay Backs a Bitch: Yah… me too... I just know most wedding dresses are like that from family and stuff.

Miroku48: Umm... good for you and ur skool... lol. I don't play football cuz dad won't let me cuz im a girl. He says ill get taken advantage cuz my size...

Lov Ya 4 Eva: Yes. Hojo does die, but not cuz of the injuries Inuyasha and Kagome cause him! Hehe

Lodke-Veritas: Hehe… He does die. And well, we're going to get more into elementals and battles (one coming up in the next chapter) later in the story. It's just taking a while for the plot to come along.

How about… drum roll please... –Drum roll- 5 reviews?

Ok, here are the lyrics to Maybe Memories! Ta DAA!

And we trudge along through the mud, and we tried to call it home, but we weren't alright, not at all, not for one second.

Never have been one to write it down, Now I think I can, I know I'm stronger now, who is looking south? Not me I'm not looking back, I'm done denying the truth to anyone, cause I'm alive.

You showed me how, you seemed to find a hole, but I just laughed and smiled, begged and rolled my eyes, even cried and denied the truth to you, just like the truth to me, mostly lied.

I'm not going to look back

Write it out like glittering butterflies.
