Purest Hearts, Tainted Soul

Chapter 11: Plots and Imposters

Naraku watched the petite girl and the demon lord from afar. They were walking together through the tall trees of the forest followed by their two short companions. His plans were perfect; he'd taken much time in analyzing the demon lord's actions and way of thinking. Sesshoumaru would play right into his hand, and all Naraku needed to carry out this ingenious plan, was the pathetic little pixie.

He was ready to take the shards from the small girl, he no longer needed her alive, but before he took care of her, why not have a little fun with their emotions. It was easy to see that Sesshoumaru had some sort of attachment to his silvery-blue eyed companion; it was obvious to anyone if they simply looked.

Usagi sat silently upon the forest floor, Rin was skipping around a rock near by, and the dragon lay resting not much farther away. (Cant remember its name… though I know its something really flipping simple!) Sesshoumaru and Jaken went off on another expedition to find Inu-Yasha, and if they stayed out as long as they usually did, wouldn't be back until after nightfall.

Rustling of the bushes caught the pixie's attention, and she quickly turned her head only to find the Priestess Kikyo, looking worried and out of breath. Usagi quickly stood.

"Usagi hurry!" the beautiful priestess exclaimed, "hurry you must come with me, it is urgent!"

The silver haired girl turned to the dark haired child who had now turned frightened eyes upon the priestess. "Rin stay here and wait for Sesshoumaru-sama." The child nodded and ran to the sleeping beast's side.

The priestess then turned and ran off into the woods, followed closely by the pixie.

Sesshoumaru and Jaken returned to the small clearing they'd left their two female companions in, to find the child cuddled up next to the large dragon, and no silver haired pixie to be found. Upon hearing their arrival, the small dark haired girl ran to the tall lord, and smiled up at him.

"Oh where did that pesky pixie girl go off to now?" Jaken started, stomping his staff on the ground in irritation, "she's always getting into trouble."

Rin started jumping up and down, excited she knew more than they did, "Usa followed a woman into the woods, she told Rin to stay here!"

Sesshoumaru was already looking off in the direction the silver haired girl had gone, he could still smell her, he could also smell the priestess, Kikyo.

"Jaken, stay with Rin." Before the small toad like creature could reply, the demon lord was gone.

Sesshoumaru came to the edge of the forest, which opened up into a small meadow, it was quite a ways from where he'd left Rin and Jaken, and the scent of the two women had completely disappeared. It was replaced by another scent though, one far more foul than that of the dead priestess, and he could identify it any day. It was Naraku.

As if on cue, the dark haired half demon appeared clutching something in his hand.

"Well well well, if it isn't the great Lord Sesshoumaru, I wanted to thank you for keeping these safe for me." With that he opened his hand revealing three shards of the Shikon Jewel.

The white haired demon took a threatening step forward.

"Oh and Sesshoumaru, before you do anything rash," Naraku pointed towards something to the side of him, "I do believe you have someone who wants to see you." With that the half demon was gone.

Looking in the direction pointed, Sesshoumaru watched Usagi step out from the bushes. Her eyes here dull and half closed, and there was a piece of black cloth wrapped around her forehead covering the star symbol.

The tall lord immediately decided that this wasn't Usagi; it didn't smell like her at all, it smelled of Naraku. This was just one of his tricks, Naraku made a copy of the pixie thinking that Sesshoumaru wouldn't hurt her in fear of it really being her right?

Wrong.

He would destroy this imposter, find Naraku, and take back what belonged to him; the real Usagi.

The imposter held her hands out to either side of her and started slowly pulling them together, Sesshoumaru remembered this little trick from the last time she did it to him, it was much stronger than before, but still weak. The demon lord easily broke the barrier, and jumped at the girl with poison dripping from his claws.

She jumped away at the last possible moment, just barely missing the poison claws, but she wasn't out of the water yet, Sesshoumaru was headed for her again with unmatchable speed. Dodging quickly, the girl threw her hand out to the side, and the demon felt his body being jerked in the direction she gestured.

Quickly jumping out of the force field, Sesshoumaru decided it was time to end this little game, he was growing bored, and didn't feel the need to waste his time any longer. He came to find Usagi, and that's what he planned on doing.

Looking around, the imposter had lost sight of the tall demon. She turned to look behind her, and was quickly grabbed by the neck. Sesshoumaru looked down at the small woman pretending to be Usagi, and positioned his clawed hand up behind him, ready to end the imposter's life quickly.
