Chapter 4

Through the deceptions

"Oww…where am I?" Kagome asked when she started to wake up. She could sense that she was not alone

"Shh… you are in critical condition, you must not move. Just go back to sleep and I will take care of you." Replied a gentle and soothing, yet…familiar…voice.

She decided to trust the man and was soon back to a fitful sleep.

Sesshomaru started to talk silently to him self so as not to wake up the slumbering Kagome, "I wonder what happened to her? The rain seems to have washed away any scent the perpetrator may have left. The only way to find out who did this is to ask her who, but I suspect that she will sleep for the next few days. Her miko powers seem to have already healed her a great amount, but the wound is still pretty nasty. Wait why am I concerned, she is but a mere worthless human. As lord of the Western Lands I should just kill her now…" but as he said those last words he knew he had fallen for her and would never be able to kill her. On the contrary he would probably sooner give up his life than let her die.

Inuyasha snarled at Kikyo, "what did you do to me? What is this necklace? Is this what will happen to my friends if they put on the bracelets?"

Kikyo responded by saying, "I didn't do anything. You put the necklace on, on your own. It lets me control you by causing pain to you whenever I feel like it. And yes, I plan to control—HEY! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?" She yelled as Inuyasha completely broke the bracelets.

"Like hell I would let you control my friends you stupid wench!" answered Inuyasha

Kikyo faked some tears and said, "But, Inuyasha, don't you love me anymore sniff sniff I've always loved you…why do you hate me so much sob"

Inuyasha ran up to her and wrapped herein a loving embrace, "I do love you, that's why. I know you are really very kind and I can't let you do anything I know you will regret later"

Kikyo pushed him away in disgust and walked off. She swore to herself that she would get what she wanted…one way or another
