Chapter 8: The New Moon
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha &company.
It was late, the witching hour, as some call it, but no matter what the name, this was a time when children should be nestled away safe in their houses, hidden away from the dangers of the cold cruel world for as long as possible.
Because locked away in a dark manor nestled in the bosom of a large unknown forest by most people, evil was awake…
Plotting…
Scheming…
Waiting…
For her…
His dark queen, only with her by his side would he continue his plot.
We circle the large manor, seemingly taking in its grandeur, before plunging downwards into its dark depths. As we enter we are immediately greeted by the dead, as there are skeletons of who were probably the previous owners of the manor littering the many hallways and corridors that your eyes can see through the darkness.
You stop and hesitate debating in your mind if want to get out of this hellish place, as swirls of poisonous miasma coils around and through your luminescent body. You take one more look around you and see two corridors without the morbid decorations that you hadn't noticed before.
You walk closer to the corridors deciding which one you should explore first. Finally deciding on the more ornate corridor you begin your silent trek.
At the end you come to a large door, it doesn't hinder you however as you simply phase through it, and into almost complete darkness, only a small rectangle of light coming from a window. But aside from that there is complete darkness that not even your eyes can pierce. The darkness is smothering you, sensing your presence even though its inhabitants cannot.
Weakly you stumble towards the window making a futile attempt to escape but it's too late for that, as the darkness holds you securely in place. And then from the darkness you hear it, and suddenly your eyes full of fright you tear yourself away from the darkness and up through the window trying to forget what you have heard.
But even though you have fled the scene that you could not stand to watch, still begins to unfold further.
"Tomorrow is the new moon, tonight the perfect night to retrieve her; while her powers are weak," the voice although smooth belied the torturous thoughts and feeling that were its true nature.
In your heart you knew it was too evil and dark for you to bear, so you fled, you my friends were wiser than even you may know.
"Yes, Master," a large spider head spoke, although that seemed impossible considering the large fangs that protruded from its mouth. Its head also housed two large eyes, almost too large for its head. This head was set on a long knobby neck, although how was a mystery.
"I will not tolerate failure like those other two, and let me make this perfectly clear you are not to harm the woman in any way, is that clear," the voice spoke once more, where was once again another mystery.
"Yes sir, unlike those idiotic brothers I would never think to harm or defile that which is yours," the demon head said, bowed in respect.
The voice's mouth smirked, as at least that small body part became visible through the darkness, as it said, "See that you don't or I'll just have to stomp on you like the bugs you so love to devour."
The creature shivered and bowed its head lower in a show of respect, and realization that the voice was the dominant and leader of the two, before it disappeared into the shadows and out into the world.
The voice turned its head as thoughts of her drifted into his mind, seeping through his current thoughts to dominate his attention.
She had been Project: KAGE, the pride and joy of the underground crime leaders, who had invested their money into her completion. And completed she was, but unfortunately, she was a superb actress and fooled any and all into thinking that she was an obedient test subject, until she destroyed her current lab in one fiery blaze.
He stared out of the small window as he visualized in his mind her body twisting and turning beads of sweat flying off her body as she seemed to dance through all of her training sessions, with an ease and grace that should have been illegal, and probably was.
As his mind conjured up more images of her his imagination began to run wild, as in his mind's eye he could see her throw her head back as she gave into her more primal desires her arms and legs wrapped around his body as he thrust wildly into her…
Damn, he grimaced as he felt his throbbing manhood, screaming for her warmth. But alas she wasn't here for the taking as of yet so he'd have to get by with one of his concubines.
Standing he exited his own quarters, to reveal his long black locks, red hair, and lithe body clothed in black dress pants and a white unbuttoned tailor suit.
He headed for Kikyo's room; she had a slight resemblance to her that would ease him for the time being.
Silently trekking to her room, and opening the door he saw her on the bed clothed in only an overly large t-shirt.
Voice's POV
Sitting silently next to Kikyo I ran my hands over her breasts before pinching her hardening nipples. She gasped and awoke only to see me as I raised her shirt over her head to reveal her nakedness; the girl seemed to have learned to always prepare for me.
Aroused from her slumber she knew immediately what I wanted and leaned over to unzip my pants, freeing my engorged member from its prison, before she began to lick and suck on it like a baby would its mother's nipple.
Suddenly flipping Kikyo onto her front I entered her from behind as she moaned, I began to thrust into her, only in this position could I imagine this was her, only in this position could I find my release.
Under me I heard Kikyo cry out as she reached her orgasm and after a few more moments I had reached my own. Removing my self from Kikyo's sheath I stood and after fixing myself back up started back towards my room as Kikyo simply fell asleep, tired from our activities. I snorted softly, if this had been her, she would have already been begging for another romp. I was satisfied and yet not pleased, I could not be pleased until I fucked that little minx into submission, until only I could satisfy her need for sex, I smirked at my own thoughts as I retreated back into my darkness.
You will be mine soon…
Soon Kagome…
Miles away in a McDonald's Kagome, Shippou, and Inuyasha sat finishing up their breakfast before grabbing some food and water for Glace and returning to the car.
As they got to the car Shippou hopped into the backseat and gave glace a hash brown, which he quickly devoured then nuzzled Shippou's hand for more food signaling his hunger.
"Kagome?" asked Shippou.
"Hmmm," Kagome cocked her head slightly as she sat in the driver's seat, her eyes closed against the rising sun, the door open to allow in a slightly cool breeze before it heated back up to its usual desert like qualities.
"Where are we going now?" asked Shippou who had just finished giving Glace his food and was now letting him drink from a cup of water.
"We're heading to Las Vegas," said Kagome with no hesitation.
"Why?" asked Shippou, as he sat up after Glace finished his water.
"Because we're looking for something," said Kagome as she began looking for her sunglasses, for the long drive ahead.
Inuyasha who had be silent, surprisingly, took that opportunity to make his presence known in the form of a correction as he said, "Actually Kags we're lookin' for someones," he smirked as he grabbed Glace's garbage and exited the car to throw it away.
Kagome frowned after him, even though her eyes revealed that she really didn't mind.
"Who are you looking for?" asked Shippou, his interest piqued.
"Don't know yet," was Kagome's reply as Inuyasha got back, and Kagome started the car.
"Then how do you know who you're lookin' for?" persisted Shippou as he slipped on his seat belt.
"We'll just know," said Inuyasha gruffly as he bent over slightly to find something decent on the radio.
"We found you after all," stated Kagome, her sunglass covered eyes on the road as she smiled at Shippou's soft gasp.
"You were lookin' for me?" Shippou's voice filled with astonishment.
"Yeah know stop asking questions you're starting to annoy me," said Inuyasha as he settled for listening to "Broken" by Seether and Amy Lee.
"Ok," Shippou said his eyes dropping slightly.
"Actually you should probably get some sleep," said Kagome she had seen his dropping eyes in the mirror.
"But I'm not sleepy," but just like most children when they start to protest their lack of energy and need for sleep they yawned, and Shippou was no different as he too yawned widely as his ears and tail drooped in his tiredness.
Kagome and Inuyasha glanced at each other before saying, "RRRRRRRIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTT," in unison not believing for a minute that he didn't need some sleep.
And with that he curled up next to Glace and fell asleep, and sleep he did. He slept the entire day, only awakening for short intervals of time to eat and go to the bathroom away replenishing his strength after having to stay awake, for so long to avoid getting captured by the Thunder Brothers.
Now it was late, the sun had set, the only people on the road were people scurrying to get home, or partygoers heading to some kind of club regular or otherwise…
Shippou's ears and tail flicked slightly as he began to awaken from his most recent and last nap. His mind registered rather quickly the absence of Glace his little pillow, and his two companions. He sat up abruptly as he thought they had abandoned him, until he heard the rather agitated voices coming from outside the car.
Sticking his head out the window he saw Inuyasha kneeling next to a flat tire.
"Hey what's up, guys?" asked Shippou.
"We've just got a flat tire," said Kagome, who was standing next to the passenger door arms crossed looking rather perturbed.
"Oh, hey why do you guys look so different?" asked Shippou, his curiosity was getting rather annoying however.
"It's the new moon during which Inuyasha and I loose all of our demonic powers," said Kagome.
"Ok," said Shippou, satisfied as he hoped out the window onto Inuyasha's head and then finally landing on the pavement next to Glace.
"So what are we going to do about the tire?" asked Inuyasha annoyed about being out in the open during his time of vulnerability.
"Like I said before we should just go over to that house over there and ask to use a phone or something," Kagome replied, exasperated.
"No way," said Inuyasha resolutely, determined not to give in.
"That's our only option so we are going got it!" said Kagome standing over Inuyasha glaring at him, daring him to disagree again.
Now Inuyasha was stubborn, but he wasn't stupid even he knew when to give, especially considering that he didn't want to suffer from some kind of concussion at the moment.
"Fine," he begrudgingly agreed.
"Ok, now that that's settled…" said Kagome her dangerous aura dissipating as she opened the trunk and retrieved the Ki and the Tetsuiga, "lets go."
"Feh, ok you free loader it's time to earn your weight around here," said Inuyasha his gaze turning to Glace who huffed indignantly at discreetly being called a burden, before changing into its larger form.
Glace leaned down slightly allowing his passengers to climb onto his back, first Shippou, then Kagome, then finally Inuyasha, before taking off at a brisk run towards the flickering lights that signified some kind of civilization.
Glace ran at an even pace at first, before suddenly speeding up, it was very slight, hardly noticeable, except to the now human hanyou that was forced to press closer to Kagome to refrain from falling off.
He froze, as he realized what he had just done, and yet couldn't remove himself for fear of falling off the speeding demon. Inuyasha blushed as he felt Kagome's body pressed against him, her scent, although dulled by his lack of demon senses, still wrapped itself around him comfortingly. In his arms, however, Kagome sat tense and he realized that she didn't want him to hold her so close as he sadly loosened his hold on her, until that is Kagome seemed to melt into his arms and small hands covered his own silently willing them to tighten his hold once more.
He blushed at the show of affection, but couldn't help but smile softly as he buried his nose in her hair, inhaling her sweet aroma, and if he had been able to see Kagome's face he would've seen a faint blush and small smile that screamed to the world, if not Inuyasha, that at this moment for this small amount of time she was truly happy.
The four quickly came upon the old, cottage styled house it was white with green shutters, the front that you could see was decorated with two normal sized rectangular windows side – by side on what was probably the 2nd floor both of which were covered by blinds. The third window was much smaller and perched between the two, except it was higher up about one floor higher; the attic window looked like a small onyx eye. The door was also painted green to match the shutters; slightly under it were two red brick steps. Two more windows sat comfortably on either side of the door covered by floral curtains. After that there was nothing but a sea of leaf green grass. A little ways off there appeared to be and old shed of some kind, but other than that there was nothing else that was seeable.
"Why did we stop?" asked Shippou, as he looked curiously between the two scanning humans that had crouched down with him in the bushes to inspect the house.
"Whenever you're entering new surroundings you should always inspect it if you have the chance so you at least vaguely know where you are," stated Inuyasha as he continued to scan the seemingly perfect home.
Shippou nodded in understanding as he too looked out over the property, and committing all of its details to memory.
"Are you ready to go now?" asked Kagome glancing at the three others around her.
Her companions nodded, as glace flew up and onto the roof, able to hear if anything were to happen and yet completely out of site.
"Hey Shippou I'm going to but a concealment spell on you ok?"
He looked at her strangely for a moment as if he were silently asking why before he nodded in understanding; after all since Kagome and Inuyasha were human he of course should be too.
Kagome gently placed a hand on his head that started to glow blue almost as soon as it touched him, but as soon as it had come it had gone and before her stood a black – haired violet eyed Shippou.
"Alright let's go," said Inuyasha as he stepped out of the bushes, Kagome and Shippou not far behind.
As the three began to walk towards the house he allowed his arm to circle Kagome's waist, as Shippou slipped his small hand into Kagome's larger one.
Once the three opened the door Kagome deftly knocked on it three short, hard raps. That was sure to be heard throughout the house. And sure enough a few moments later a girl about fourteen years old answered the door.
She wore a white t-shirt, blue jean shorts and was bare foot; her brown hair was down and slightly ruffled as if she had just gotten off of a sofa. Her eyes were brown, and were set nicely on her heart shaped face.
"Hello, how may I help you?"
"Hello we would just like to know if we could borrow your phone we have a flat tire and had to stop, I'm Mitsuki, and this is Souta, she said gesturing slightly to Shippou, "and this is Jinenji," she finished as she gestured to Inuyasha.
"I'm Nina, nice to meet, hold on for one second while I get my Granddad, ok?"
Kagome, or rather Mitsuki, nodded her head in compliance, as Nina stepped turned around and disappeared for a moment as she called for her grandfather.
Moments later an old man could now be seen hobbling over to them, his head was bald and wrinkled, and he was bent over as if he has spent most of his life bent over doing hard labor of some kind. He had the same attire as Nina except he wore pants instead of shorts.
"You wanted to use a phone, yes?" asked the old man as he reached the open door.
'Mitsuki' just nodded her head in affirmation, as he gestured for the three to enter what appeared to be a kitchen. It was rather plain, with a small mahogany table four chairs, slightly behind it stood a moderate sized fridge, white round about counters that started at the door and continued on until it got to the stove and then a sink, before coming to a stop at a door that was connected to a carpeted hallway.
As the three walked into the warm atmosphere of the kitchen the old man shuffled over to a hanging cordless phone, "I'm Tom by the way," he said as he removed the phone from its cradle and held it up to his ear experimentally, before shaking his head slightly and returning it.
(Nina told him their names already that's why he hasn't asked)
"I'm sorry, but the phone's dead, it loses the single surrounded by all these trees sometimes, but you can stay the night if you want to and borrow some tools first thing tomorrow morning, and I won't take no for an answer," he commanded jokingly.
Kagome and Inuyasha glanced at each other before nodding in agreement.
"Alright then Nina show our guests to their room," said Tom as he headed for the hallway himself, probably to his own room.
"Ok," said Nina as she too walked out of the kitchen as she gestured the three to follow her.
Nina led them down a beige carpeted hallway lit only with a few lamps, before she turned right and up the carpeted steps. Turning into another hallway she walked onwards pausing sometimes to specify her room, her grandfather's room, and the bathroom before opening the last door at the end of the hallway. It concealed one last staircase that led up to a finished attic that was the guestroom, flicking a light switch the lights flickered on revealing a quite cozy room. The guestroom held one king-sized bed, a boudoir, and a dresser with a large mirror. On a stand in the left corner of the room was a TV and by the bed there was a small desk with a digital alarm clock on it, that read 11:30 p.m.
"This is where you will be sleeping, 'night," and with that Nina turned and disappeared down the attic steps.
"You sure it was good idea to stay here for tonight?" asked Shippou as he climbed onto the floral patterned comforter.
"No, but it's better than staying out in the open in the car," said Kagome as she walked over to the window allowing Glace access to the room.
"Besides it's not like we'll go to sleep," said Inuyasha matter – of – factly as he plopped down on the bed beside Shippou grabbing the remote and flipping on the TV.
"Yeah now go to sleep, Shippou me and Inu have everything under control," said Kagome softly as she closed the window and stepped back to the bed and tucked Shippou in, Glace perched on her shoulder.
"OK," he groaned as his eyes began to grow heavy, "Good night."
"'Night Shippou."
"'Night runt."
"I'm not a runt," was Shippou's sleepy reply as he settled down for some more sleep.
"Feh that's all the runt does is sleep," grumbled Inuyasha as he settled sat against the bed's head board.
"Yeah, but so what, who knows none of us might be getting a good night's rest for awhile," said Kagome softly as she gently stroked Shippou's soft hair.
Inuyasha just stared out at the near silent screen in reply, as he settled down for another sleepless new moon night. But at least this new moon, and many more to come if he had anything to say about it, and he would, he could spend it with Kagome, just like they had used to.
