Who Do Voodoo

Chapter One: Interesting New Hobby

Clutching the doll behind her back and out of sight from her mother's questionable gaze, Kagome was determined to help her mother understand that she wasn't signing her soul to the devil.

"Mom…!" She whined, "It isn't evil. And I don't even follow the religion. Its just a way to get back at.." Interrupted by her mother's sigh she opened her mouth to speak again.

"Just don't get wrapped up in this okay..?" Her mother pleaded. It would be dishonorable for her daughter to become "gothic" and she didn't want to be frowned upon at the supermarket or anywhere else in town for her daughter's actions. It was her life but if it affected anyone else in any negative way she would make sure it would stop immediately.

Kagome smiled. Now that her mother O.K.ed her new way of seeking revenge on Inuyasha, her guilt began to diminish. She moved the doll around her body and out of site from her mother. Even if her mother accepted the Voodoo, she would never allow voodoo dolls. 'Maybe I should make a Miroku doll for Sango… I know she would enjoy that very much.'

Once Kagome reached her room, she peered over her left and right shoulder before closing and locking her door. She sighed heavily and went over to her window. She locked the window and closed the blinds so she wouldn't have to worry about any surprised visits from Inuyasha.

She pulled out a wooden box from her draw underneath her socks. Opening the box, she picked out the selected jar and gently spilled the salts in a circle. She lit four candles on each side of her; to her left, right, behind and in front of herself. She removed the strands of silver hair from her pocket. She stuffed them into the head of the doll and sewed the seam back together. She placed the doll in front of her and waved a feather that dripped with herbal water. She chanted the spell and smiled to herself. Now the only way to know if it worked was to test it. She knew Inuyasha would come for her any minute now.

"Kagome!" Her mother called, "Inuyasha is hear!"

"Right on queue" She muttered. She swung her yellow bag over her shoulder and headed down the stairs. Once she got back to her "Second home" she would finally be able to test it. She stuffed the doll under her night shirt,that she had worn the other night but didn't see a need to wash it because it would get dirtier in the warring states era, in her bag and closed it up before she reached the kitchen.

As Kagome entered the room Inuyasha's head spun around to face her immediately ending the argument between himself and her grandfather.

"Finally wench! I thought I'd have to wait all day for you…" That's when he noticed something was wrong. He could smell Kagome's sent as if her body was pressed up against him, as if the only space between them were her clothes. When he felt his pants getting tighter he decided now was the time to leave. "C'mon Kagome, we don't have all day" He said as he dragged by her arm across the kitchen and out the door.

Inuyasha threw Kagome over his shoulder and took off towards the well. She readjusted herself so her chin rested on his shoulder and her legs straddled his waist from the front. She usually didn't get to 'ride' like this but she was too busy waving to her family. 'Jesus Kagome,' Inuyasha thought, 'You don't realize what this is doing… If you continue this I might just…' Shaking that thought out of his head he slammed the well house door open and, in one leap, jumped the stairs into the well.

"Hey, Sparky, what's the rush?"

"Sparky…?"

"Yea it's a nickname."

"Why Sparky?"

"Hey, you think I like being called wench!" She snarled at him.

"You know what, all I asked you was why the flying fuck you chose Sparky as a nickname, and you don't have to get so bitchy about it"

Kagome sighed in frustration. There was no winning with him. 'Oh, I'll get my revenge on him.. In it will most satisfying…' She grinned to herself. 'Maybe Sango can help me with it.'

Upon returning to the warring states era, Shippo launched him into Kagome's stomach, nearly knocking herself over the edge of the well and back into the modern world. Inuyasha, quickly using his reflexes, and placed a hand on Kagome's back to help her regain balance. She nodded a 'thank you' but received an ungrateful 'keh'.

"Ughhh! I swear to the gods that he's going to get what he deserves…." She mumbled. "Hey, Sango! It's getting late, would you like to head over to the hot springs with me?"

"Sure Kagome, I could use a nice relaxing bath at the hot springs."

"Kagome, can I come?" Shippo pleaded.

"Sorry not this time." She stated and winked at Inuyasha. She didn't know why she did it but she liked the horrified look on his face when she did it. It almost gave him a heads up that trouble was heading his way.

As the girls left Inuyasha turned to Miroku and shuddered. "I have a really bad feeling….."
