Kamatari stared out into the distance, watching and listening for something. Turning her head from one side to the other, Kamatari's beautiful cool grey eyes remained but half-open and a fatigued smile graced her lips. Her body then elevated into the air slowly from the top of Kouga's cave and her eyes flashed alive and were now as full of life as she was as her body sensed a spiritual energy similar to her own.
Looking around her, Kamatari grew outraged and infuriated that she was amongst her very nemesis and how they were simply staring at her. Her eyes glaring and her mouth drawn into a very think line, Kamatari closed her eyes and brought her legs to her chest as her arms created an X shape in front of her legs. A pale green circle surrounded her entire body causing her hair to shoot straight up and then go in every which way loosely.
"I shall bestow the joy of transcendent bliss upon YOU!" the Ten'nyo lashed her arms and legs back as she unleashed her attack.
The wolves flew in every which way, screaming and howling in pain from the wave of impact, but their bellows and cries were quieted as a large number of wolf and wolf demons bodies' started to burn.
But the wolves were not in any pain-or at least, none of which they could realize. For inside these demons' minds was not the gory and flame-filled event that was occurring right before their very eyes as we speak, rather a peaceful view of light ground and yellow sky with baby soft white and pink sakura blossoms falling ever so softly. A deep fragrance of cherry and honeysuckle was almost tangible it was so strong. Many of these wolves were not even aware and couldn't realize that they were soon to be dead.
Kagura gave a small snarl as she watched the vast majority of the Southern wolf tribe completely…burn out. The only feeling of contempt she could have possibly given her a feeling or warmth inside of her was the fact that she had just killed of hundreds of wolves, her sworn enemy in life. But the small spark was not enough for Kamatari to feel proud, nor have a sense of accomplishment. No, too many of the wolves had survived. In order to feel whole again, each and every wolf must die.
Scanning the area and finding no survivors within range of another attack, Kamatari let herself calm down partially before letting the rest of her body to continue the levitation to a height that would enable her to look down at sights with height that soly those with wings would ever lay eyes upon. Then, she started off in the direction of the Oxen-Tiger.
.o0O0o. Chapter Twenty-Two
Outa Control Siblings .o0O0o.
"What do you want? What does have to do with Ka-" InuYasha was cut off by Miroku's staff gagging him the best that an enchanted wooden staff can be gagged into one's mouth partially opened. Miroku' tugged on the staff as a rider would his reins when InuYasha wouldn't cease his dangerously revealing blabbering.
"Geh Ah Ee!" InuYasha shoved Miroku off of his Fire Rat Haori and got the staff out of his mouth. (Oh Miroku, check that thing for teeth marks and dents.) Though falling to the ground, Miroku did not become disgruntled; rather, he gave a small sigh before accepting the helpful hand-up of the beautiful and perfectly shaped female demon slayer. As the soft and delicate fingers grasped the large and warm opposing ones, the two companion's eyes met and –for a second- there was the tenderest smile on Sango's lips as the only thing that she could sense was Miroku's hand in her own and Miroku's face but inches away from her own.
"Sango! Watch out!" Shippo cried out across the field from Kilala's protective fur. Sango whipped her head back just in time to see a pink whip of light heading straight towards her heart.
But before Sango had time to do anything other than a gasp, Miroku jumped forward and tumbled to the ground with the demon slayer in his strong arms. Flipping over onto his back, Miroku hollowed out his back and braced himself the best he could for the rocks, the roots and the hard ground that he would soon be sliding against.
Sango quickly got up and ran for her Hiraikotsu, but not before lifting Miroku onto his feet with a large jerk. Now fully equipped, Sango ran for Kaguya full force with InuYasha not too far behind with his unsheathed Tetsusaiga not too far behind. Sango then hurled her bone boomerang as hard as she could so that it would hit Kagura full force.
But the attack was not successful and incomplete, as Kaguya pulled out one of her golden hair clips and transformed it into a golden blade and turned it so that the flat side of the blade was in play. Playing the flat side of the blade as a defence, Kaguya stopped the Hiraikotsu dead on, causing the boomerang to fall on the ground so that Sango could not pick it up.
But that didn't stop Sango, who pulled out her own sword and charged. InuYasha also swung at Kaguya with all that he could. But even the two of them were no match for Kaguya's disappearing and teleporting acts.
"Sango, you stay here and I'll use my Wind Scar on her!" Sango nodded and took a step back as InuYasha raised the Tetsusaiga above his little doggy ears and then slammed it down on the ground with his very loud war cry of:
"WIND SCAR!"
And the plan was perfectly executed. Three waves of blue and yellow light and energy where shot directly at Kaguya and there was no possible way of missing. InuYasha gave a small smirk and lowered his Tetsusaiga, knowing that he would hit the Ten'nyo directly in front of him with dead on accuracy. Even Sango was able to breathe and make sure that her sword could be ready for battle.
A black ball with a white light shooting out from the top and the bottom of the ball at an angle formed in front of Kaguya's head. Kaguya raised her index and middle finger of her right hand in front of her mouth and recited an incantation. With the closing of her eyes, Kaguya's black ball of energy shot forward, blocking it's master. The wind scar was also affected by Kaguya's new self defence. The ball of light and energy seemed to be like a magnet and brought the wind scar directly to it and absorbed all of the power, energy and force exerted into the attack.
"The Wind Scar!" Miroku gasped.
"That black thing just ate it!" Shippo exclaimed, running towards Miroku and staying by his leg. InuYasha growled as he steadied the Tetsusaiga in front of him and prepared for another attack.
"Grr.." InuYasha stabbed the air in front of him wishing it could be Kaguya's body right about now. "Fine then. If the Wind Scar didn't work, I might as well use…
"BACKLASH WAVE!" And with those two words, a horrendous black twister immerged from the ground in front of everyone and separated into five separate twisters. When all five twisters headed directly for the black haired beauty, Kaguya didn't even flinch. Instead, she merely raised her mirror so that no one could see her face. A black light then shot out of every last millimetre of the circular mirror so that no one could see anything but the rim and headed directly for the large black sphere that had just absorbed the Wind Scar.
The black light hit the ball of black light head on and absorbed the new energy, causing it to grow immensely. The then relatively large ball of energy the size of your head was now at least the size of a small child. And with all of the newfound energy, the black ball with the white light at either end sucked in the mini twisters InuYasha had created and grew even larger.
"Damn it!" InuYasha took a step back out of shock. "That thing just absorbed the Backlash Wave!" Miroku took a step forward so that he could stand by his comrade.
"It appears that energy based attacks will not kill it." Miroku brought his hand up to his chin and pondered. "You'll have to attack it directly InuYasha."
"Miroku's right InuYasha," Sango said as she picked up Shippo and put him on Kilala, still in her kitten form. "If you keep attacking it from here it'll only grow." InuYasha clenched the Tetsusaiga even tighter out of frustration. He then glared at Kaguya with half closed eyes that were dishing out so much disgust and hatred that they could easily match those of Medusa. A small growl emanated from his throat as he thought of a plan on how to kill this ball of energy and Kaguya.
Seeing the Half-Demon's despair, Kaguya laughed rather obnoxiously and threw her head back. "What's the matter, Half-Demon. Do you need your Ten'nyo to come and help you? Why don't you give up? With every attack you inflict, the stronger I get. Can't you see? It's hopeless!" Kaguya then shrieked hysterically and looked mad. The last few months that she had spent in a mental prison trying to plan out schemes to get Revenge on the Hanyou were finally paying off, as just seeing InuYasha in such a predicament was truly bliss.
"You know what? That laugh of yours is really starting to piss me off…" InuYasha said in a threatening but low tone of voice. "First you try and kill Kagome, then you try and stop time, and now you want Kagome again! Do you ever take a break bitch!" InuYasha cried out as he swung his sword at Kaguya with everything he had, but it wasn't enough to stop the Ten'nyo with the golden blade.
Kaguya easily blocked and dodged all of InuYasha's attacks without letting so much as a strand of hair fall out of place. InuYasha was growing breathless and tired. With a jerk of his head, he signalled for Sango to help him out, which she did the best she could. Miroku also joined in, sweeping around the back and trying to hit Kaguya in the back or the head.
But none of the attacks were successful, for Kaguya either blocked, dodged or teleported for all of the attacks.
.o0O0o. With Kamatari .o0O0o.
'So sister, it has been a while hasn't it?' Kamatari smiled devilishly as she thought of all the times that her and her sister and attempted to kill one another. The smile grew even larger as she thought about how close she was to killing her sister once.
.o0O0o. Flashback .o0O0o.
The two sisters were in the battle arena, both circling the other and their face bearing snarls. With the blink of an eye, both of the sisters had disappeared and then suddenly reappeared with swords clashing. This continued on for quite a few minutes until Kaguya underestimated her Sister's strategic ways and ended up being about thirteen metres underneath her sister.
Looking around frantically, Kaguya started to panic ever so slightly looking for her sister and awaiting the attack. Finally looking up, Kaguya was an exact duplicate of a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming car. The bottom of an elegant and highly expensive looking sandal was then smashed into Kaguya's delicate cheekbone. One could hear the cracking of teeth and bone from the outside of the arena. And if one paid close enough attention and stuck around for a bit longer, they would then hear the muffled scream as the younger Ten'nyo's whole body went face first into the stone and mortar castle walls.
"Had enough, little sister?" Kamatari sneered, slightly breathless. Shoulders heaving up and down to regain her breath, Kamatari slid her golden sword back into her hair as it transformed itself back into the normal, favourite golden hair clip that she originally used.
"Don't…count on it bitch," Kaguya grunted and grimaced with pain as she regained her posture. A pink glow radiating from her hand, Kaguya brought the pink light to her cheek and eye. The light was then absorbed into her head and regained her normal composure of perfect makeup, bone structure and perfect teeth. Kamatari walked off with a rather dramatic roll of her eyes and flirty throw of the perfectly fire and blood red mane and did a little shake of her hips.
"Oh no, Kamatari, please don't hurt me big sister! I'll do anything you want!" Kamatari impersonated her little sister to a T, with the check of the eye shadow and all. "SCREACH! No PLEASE! PLEASE! Hurt me as much as you want but don't mess up my face! I beg of you!" Kamatari made two fists and did the rubbing of the eyes motion as a little kid would when she would cry.
"Oh shut up already!" Kaguya swung her golden sword at her sister, trying to catch her off guard while she did a –in her opinion- pitiful imitation of the raven-haired beauty. But the attack failed as Kamatari sighed heavily and blew a clump of hair out of her face, blocking the golden blade with her two golden serpent hair accessories, which then turned into two different types of katana.
"Now little sister, we aren't playing very nicely now are we?" Kamatari did a little child's pouting face. "Why don't you, lighten up a bit!" Two blood red snakes then struck at Kaguya's waist and wrapped around like a belt. Kaguya did a combination of a gasp and a grunt as the two serpents constricted their way across their master's sister's waist, knocking the wind out of the raven-haired beauty.
Raising her hand the best she could in the air as a signal for help, Kaguya gave one last gasp of air as her elder sister did her little disappearing act behind Kaguya and dove her golden blade deep into her little sister's back. Hearing the clothing tear open on the other side, Kamatari gave a small smile of satisfaction as she then pulled out her sword and pushed her sister down onto the ground, fifteen feet down.
"Bye bye sister dearest. You know I always was fond of you," Kamatari smiled a fake, sickeningly sweet smile. With a small, dainty wave of the fingers, the last born in Kamatari's family plummeted down to the ground.
Excitement building with every second passing, Kamatari watched in anticipation as her sister fell to her death.
But Fate had to interrupt the perfectly planned out strategy of Kamatari, as the Hagaromo belonging to the two Ten'nyo's mother burst through the large, metal double doors leading to the battle arena and wrapped itself around Kaguya's body, catching it the younger of the two celestial beauties in mid-air and brought down the torn and battered up Ten'nyo out of the battle arena. Slowly repairing all things damaged on and in Kaguya's body, the celestial robes then left out of the doors that it had came and left Kamatari alone.
.o0O0o. End Flashback .o0O0o.
"Oh and I was so close too!" Kamatari sent a blast of energy down into the nearest part of the forest that she could find. "But noooooo! Kaguya always hadta be Momma's little girl! Always being protected by 'mommy!'" Kamatari lashed out another attack on the innocent patch of forestry that just happened to be in the way as she flew at a much faster pace now, her eyes glaring so hard they could bear holes into the sky above.
"Oh this next time…next time I see you little sister," Kamatari closed her eyes and made her body go as tight as she could, flexing every body in her muscle to make herself more aerodynamic. Zooming off faster than she had ever done before, Kamatari's adrenaline rush escalated to amazing heights just thinking about how much she was going to love the feeling of her little sister's dead body lying limply in her arms. How she was going to love the warmth from the cold, dead skin of her parent's-pet when she went to touch her little sister. Oh it was going to be memorable alright. Kamatari was going to make sure of that.
.o0O0o. With Kouga .o0O0o.
"Almost…there," Kouga grunted as he raced for not only his life, but that of his one love. Seeing something zipping across the sky with speeds almost rivalling those of his own, Kouga sniffed out the creature and then nearly ran into a tree he was so shocked.
"It…it can't be!" Kouga quickly recovered from his overwhelming dosage of shock and ran faster and faster and faster until he was the same speed as the thing above him. Daring a quick glance upwards, Kouga saw just what he needed to see to make his crazy thoughts a reality. A flash of the elegant and royal red hair that was billowing in the wind made Kouga's heart race and made him nearly run into another four trees.
"Damn it! Why now?"
After many minutes of hot pursuit, Kouga and the creature flying up above finally reached the Goshinboku, where the two met up with Kaguya and the InuYasha gang minus Kagome. By the looks of it, Kaguya was doing pretty well considering she was up against a Hanyou, a monk and a demon slayer. Kouga slid to a halt and was amused by the fact that someone like Kaguya was beating InuYasha and his oh-so-mighty-sword.
"Hey Mutt Face, you're losing to a girl!" Kouga sneered.
"Shut up Kouga! I'd like to see you do better!"
"Do better! HA! Just get out of the way and let me avenge my comrades." And within the time that it took InuYasha to block another one of Kaguya's attacks, Kouga had already picked up Sango and Miroku and put them to the side of the battle field.
Going two against one just doesn't seem fair now doesn't it? I mean there's two strong male demons fighting for the same girl and having the same goals. And the opposing team was just a little raven-haired beauty with a few magical powers and a hair pin that can turn into a sword. Let's just hope that she doesn't go too hard on the poor boys.
A pink, glowing circle then appeared around Kaguya. With her body in the shape of a cross, Kaguya concentrated on the energy coursing through her hands. Two purple balls of energy then appeared floating above Kaguya's hands and grew and grew until they reached a point where they were almost as big as watermelons.
"Homdeh niwa fou mitsuke," Kaguya chanted as the purple orbs started to rotate slowly, but then picked up speed. Crossing her hands in front of her chest to make an X. The purple orbs spun faster and faster and faster until they were lifted from Kaguya's hands and floated on their own. With a swish of her dainty little hand, Kaguya's orbs shot off and headed straight for InuYasha and Kouga.
"No you don't!" InuYasha bellowed as he sliced through the purple orb with his Tetsusaiga. Kouga chose not to slice the orb open, rather just avoid it. So with his god-like speed, the purple orb ran into a tree. But it's a good thing that Kouga decided not to touch the little glowing purple thing, because as soon as it came in contact with the tree's bark, it ignited and burned straight through the tree and gave off a sizzling, acid-like sound.
'That was close…' Kouga sweated. Realizing how close his tanned skin was to getting burned off and melted away into some liquid. Pouring all of his concentration back onto the Ten'nyo at hand, Kouga thought up ways that he could kill the annoying little monster and still keep his hide intact. Not being able to think up of a killer strategy right away, Kouga just charged face first into the battle with claws unsheathed.
A rather stressed sigh came from Miroku. Sango turned around to see what the matter was, but then tensed and nearly fell over. A large shiver ran up and down her spine as she loosened her grip on her sword that fell to the ground.
Many forehead veins were fit to burst as Sango regained control of the situation and took Miroku's hand off of her left butt cheek and held onto his hand rather firmly. Her eyes closed and her exterior calm looking, Sango slowly placed Miroku's hand onto his own cheek. She then let go of the hand and waited for it to fall before slapping the monk almost as hard as she could.
Falling to the ground with swirls in his eyes, Miroku couldn't get up for a while. Suiting Sango fine, she quickly picked up her sword and hid behind Kamatari as if for protection. But protection was far from Sango's mind as she stealthily made her way so that she was merely two feet behind the Ten'nyo.
"Rah!" Sango cried out as she brought her sword out from behind the red haired Ten'nyo and cocked it up into a position that could easily cut skin if needed. Kamatari realized her predicament but was not fazed and did not show any shock or surprise. Turning her head merely to see Sango was Kamatari's only reaction.
"Tell Kaguya to leave," Sango threatened through gritted teeth. Kamatari raised an eyebrow in curiosity.
"And why would I want to do such a think like that?" Kamatari asked innocently, with a cocky little smile being displayed proudly on her lips. Sango brought the sword closer to the red haired Ten'nyo's throat. Kamatari's eyes followed towards the sword, but then returned her gaze to Sango.
"Because if you don't," Sango stopped to catch her raspy breath, "then you will die."
"Ha! That's it!" Kamatari threw her arm up in the air and laughed. "Listen to this sister: if you don't quit now, I'm going to die!" That gave Kaguya a laugh.
"Just try it human girl," Kaguya laughed as she dodged another one of Kouga's attacks. Teleporting to straight behind Sango, Kaguya placed her own dainty, uncalloused hands on Sango's rough and untreated hands. Fixing the angle of the blade just so slightly so that the blade could do the most damage, Kaguya gave Sango a slight pull backwards and then disappeared. Sango's blade was as hungry for blood as Kamatari was for revenge; and so Sango's sword cut through the delicate skin of Kamatari's neck quite easily.
Suddenly reappearing directly in front of Kouga, Kaguya turned her head around and watched her older sister's throat get cut by a human demon slayer –a female no less! Feeling the sudden urge to laugh, Kaguya turned her head around to face Kouga. Not knowing that Kouga was there, Kaguya gasped as the rough, callused hands covered Kaguya's mouth with a small little smirk.
Punching his hand straight through her chest, Kouga had something bloody and still moving as his hand exited the Ten'nyo body. A very cocky and evil smirk was then plastered upon Kouga's face as he saw the blood spewing from Kaguya's body all over his own tan arm and the area around where the two currently where. Watching the blood drain out of her face and spew all over the ground gave Kouga much pleasure as imagining that it was Naraku that he was killing. But killing his henchman was his closest thing to success that he's ever endured.
Howling and laughing evily was all that was heard for the longest time as lightening was seen and thunder was heard with Kouga's arm still firmly up in the air. Kamatari was the first to come to her senses and very quickly ran to Kouga lifting her skirt and all. Facing Kouga, she was exactly the same height as Kagome and Kouga couldn't help but think that the Ten'nyo in front of him was supposed to be his Kagome.
But what was about to happen was not at all Kouga's Kagome. A rather large hand then came up and slapped Kouga's tan and beautiful face extremely roughly and hard enough for bruising to occur immediately.
"You bastard. Killing my sister was to be MY doing! Mine and mine alone!" Kamatari's hair shot on end as a purple circle formed around her. A matching purple light then shot up from all around of Kamatari and as her anger grew so did the intensity of the light.
"It was always Kaguya that got the special attention! It was always Kaguya that was the favourite! It was always 'Kamatari, look after Kaguya!' and 'Teach Kaguya from right and wrong' and 'If anything happens, Kaguya will get hurt!' I'm sick and tired of her getting the treatment!" Kamatari screamed out as her whole body arched and an immense amount of power emanated from Kamatari's body.
"I'm sick and tired of you wolves ruining my life! One day all of you shall die!" Kamatari exploded and shot out attacks in every way, aiming mostly for Kouga but hitting anything else that got in hr path.
Kouga did his best to dodge all of the attacks that he could as Miroku protected Sango and Shippo clung onto Kilala. InuYasha normally would have held Kagome back with one arm and held as tight as he could, not letting go, but she was currently transformed.
InuYasha's eyes widened as his brain thought of millions of ways to help and an idea struck. 'Damnit where is that Hiim guy when ya need him?'
.o0O0o. With Hiim .o0O0o.
"Psst, Kagura. We're here," Hiim gently shook Kagura's shoulder, waking her up from a deep sleep on Hiim's shoulder. Slowly opening her eyes, Kaguya almost screamed as she realized that she was in the air. Having Hiim's hand being then placed on her shoulder calmed her down a smidgen, but Kagura was still quite scared.
"What are we doing up here? And are we-" Kagura cut herself off as she shot down to the side of the feather. Her nightmares had manifested themselves into flesh and were directly below her. Naraku's refuge. His hideout. His headquarters. "Oh no."
"What is it? This is where you were originally going!" Hiim exclaimed, completely confused by the wind demon's actions. Smelling a tear, Hiim then remained quiet as he realized.
"You're a prisoner aren't you? A beautiful bird in a golden cage, the only key to getting out belonging to someone else." Kagura brushed one of her stray hairs behind her ear while her bangs covered her eyes. Hiim then pulled Kagura into him, arms gripping the material on the wind demons back.
"What are you? Let go of me!"
"No Kagura, I'm not letting go." And with that, Kagura started to break down crying. In the arms of a half-demon was the ebony haired wind demon. Not being able to control herself, Kagura started to return the hug and sob harder into the crook of Hiim's neck, inhaling and falling in love all over again with his scent.
A little while later, once Kagura had passed out from all of the crying and dehydration finally caught up with her, Hiim debated what to do with the woman in his arms. He knew now that –even with the truth telling serum in effect- Kagura really did not want to go back down into the hell hole that she called "home."
"What will become of her if I take her away from this terrible place? What will her master inflict upon her as punishment if I tried to free his pretty little bird?" Hiim thought aloud as he placed Kagura's head on his lap as he sat in the lotus position, trying to think the clearest he could.
Sensing an incredible amount of celestial power being at work, Hiim sped the feather that was controlled by thoughts as fast as it could go towards the purple light that had just shot into the sky.
.o0O0o. With InuYasha .o0O0o.
Widening his eyes even further as he smelled not only the scent of Naraku but that of a half-wolf demon as well, InuYasha's head started flooding back with the last time of Kamatari.
.o0O0o. Flashback .o0O0o.
'If I don't do something soon, Kagome's life will be in danger!' InuYasha had to plan out mentally his next move. 'I don't have any time left! This is all that I've got!' InuYasha cried in desperation. Certainly, he would enjoy it, but he knew that Kagome would near-kill him.
Turning her face to meet his InuYasha –in a completely desperate attempt to bring Kagome back –let his lips crash down onto hers into a forceful, yet heated kiss. Kamatari's eyes resembled that of frying pans, for they were widened out of shock that this half-demon would force himself down on her, one of the legendary Ten'nyo's!
'Lips,' Kamtari gasped mentally, for she could not gasp physically, due to InuYasha who currently owned her mouth. Scenes of Kouga and Kagome kissing flew by Kamtari's eyes, as if viewing a slide show of Kagome's personal love life with Kouga.
'InuYasha!' Kagome screamed mentally as she returned into her proper body, letting Kamatari fall back. Once InuYasha had realized that it was Kagome, and that his lips were still entangled with hers, he went wide eyed with embarrassment.
SLAP! The sound that resembled so much that of a bullet being shot could easily be heard for miles around. The sound of Kagome's soft palm colliding with InuYasha's rough face emitted such a sound, that it was even louder then the slap of Sango's palm into Miroku's cheek.
.o0O0o. End Flashback .o0O0o.
"That's it then," InuYasha muttered under his breath. Sheathing his Tetsusaiga, InuYasha lunged for Kaguya as the purple celestial energy surrounding her faded away. As soon as his bare hands touched the purple energy, they started to burn like when Sesshomaru attempted to steal the Tetsusaiga. But completely ignoring the burning sensation, InuYasha grabbed Kamatarari's arm and pulled her back into his arms.
"Let go of me you filthy dog!" Kamatari kicked and protested as much as she could. But when it came to saving Kagome's life, InuYasha was much stronger than he could ever be on his own. Turning the Ten'nyo's pretty little red head around, InuYasha forced his lips upon hers.
Kamatari had to protest to all of this, but couldn't. InuYasha was kissing the strength out of Kamatari and she was powerless to stop it.
'No! I won't! I'm not done! He still lives!' But Kamatari was silenced by the bringing back of Kagome.
"Kagome, are you okay now?" InuYasha asked quietly as he continued his firm grip on Kagome and stared at her in the eyes with compassion and tenderness.
"InuYasha? But what?" Kagome clung onto InuYasha since he was the closest one to her.
"Ssshh, it's okay Kagome. You just weren't yourself." InuYasha cradled Kagome before she realized whose arms she was in. Kagome gave a quick hug to InuYasha but then had to push away.
A small hiss of pain was then heard from about ten yards behind Kagome that made Kagome's ears burn.
"Kouga!" Kagome yelled out in concern as she ran towards her lover. Kouga looked up with a face full of twisted pain of agony and then smiled as he saw his woman coming directly towards him. Getting up onto one knee, Kouga opened his arms. Kagome instantly flung herself into him and started to break down sobbing.
"Kouga, what did…what did I do?" Kouga rose to his feet, holding Kagome in the position that she was in which was currently in. Even just holding Kagome by the waist, her feet were at least four inches off the ground. She was sobbing gently into the crook of Kouga's neck and Kouga decided to zip off into the Goshinboku to give the two of them a bit more privacy.
Having finally stopped crying, Kagome cuddled into Kouga's warm embrace as he gently and flirtatiosly kissed the sensitive spots on his woman's neck. Kagome's first impulse was to recoil to stop the tickling, but then gladly opened up her neck and gave Kouga more freedome. Kouga gladly accepted and started to not only kiss all of the sensitive spots, but also started to trace Kagome's neck-line with his tongue, sending Kagome shivers up and down her spine. A soft moan came out from Kagome's throat as Kouga's sharp and lethal fangs started to nibble along the parts he had just licked and kissed each inch tenderly.
Noticing that she had that cute little blush on her face, Kouga reached up and cupped Kagome's face in his palm and watched as her eyes widened in surprise and then start to drift shut. Leaning closer he brushes his lips against hers and almost growls at how soft her lips feel. Kagome gasps and he takes the opportunity to kiss her harder slipping his tongue into her mouth. In a daze Kagome begins to reciprocate sliding her tongue against his. He moans, pressing his body against hers letting her feel how much he wants her. 'She tastes so sweet.' Wanting the kiss to be more aggressive, Kouga starts to nibble on her bottom lip which makes her moan, letting his tongue slip into her mouth. Kouga moaned to himself as he explored her mouth and tasted how sweet his Kagome is.
Tentatively Kagome wraped her fingers into his hair slowly stroking through the strands. Groaning Kouga pulls her to rest on his lap with her facing him, straddling his legs. Almost hissing in pleasure at the contact, Kouga reaches up to cup both of her breasts. Letting out a guttural groan Kagome starts to move against his erection subconsciously, causing Kouga to almost lose control of himself.
Kagome, already in a daze herself, has her pulse speed as the two continue to kiss and touch each other. Kouga huskily whispers in her ear "I want you" almost immediately realizing his mistake.
Coming out of her daze slowly she pulls away "I'm sorry Kouga but you're going to fast. I…I don't think I-"
Both panting he replies:
"It is alright Kagome, I just got caught up in the moment." Then moving up to Kagome's ear, he whispers in his husky voice again, "I won't make you do anything you don't want. But be careful next time"
With a frustrated sigh Kouga got up and ran his hands through his hair while also trying to make his arousal not very noticeable. But knowing that there were demons within the area like InuYasha, it was obvious that someone would notice.
Inu Yasha noticed the closeness between Kouga and Kagome and felt like he was being torn directly in half. He thought that Kagome could do much better than his arch nemesis. Kouga didn't deserve someone like her. After all how many times had the wolf demon try and kill his half-demon hide? He was also surprised that Kouga was actually capable of caring about someone and sticking with them, unlike in Ayame's case. He pushed all his thoughts away in order to concentrate on the task the group was doing.
Magic was then heavily sensed in the air. The entire group could feel it. They slowed their approach knowing that they had to be close. Kagome tightened her grip on Kouga's clothing as she felt more nervous. He held her closer to reassure her as the bushes around the group started to sway in the breeze and heard much rustling directly where Sango and Miroku where.
"Hello friends!" Hiim popped in with a chibi happy face expression. Kagome squealed and jumped out from the extremely high drop of the Goshinboku branches. With Hiim zipping directly over to where Kagome could be caught, Kagome gave an extremely wide smile reaching from ear to ear. Kagome landing directly into his own arms, Hiim twirled around when he caught Kagome.
"Hiim I'm so glad you're here!" Kagome gave him a tight hug. Hiim hugged her back but then had to place her on her own two feet. His shallow-river coloured eyes scanned for the surrounding area. A troubled look then made it's way onto the beautiful half-wolf demon's beautiful face.
"Where is she?" Hiim's eyes searched everyone's body hard. Seeing nothing but the dead Kaguya on the floor, Hiim was very confused. Miroku took a step forward twirling his staff like a cheerleader would a baton.
"Where is who?"
"The Ten'nyo! I felt very strong celestial powers emanating from here!" Hiim looked Kagome dead in the eye. "So where is she?" Kagome blushed as she saw the tips of her hair being slowly turned back from cardinal and royal red to the beautiful raven black that she was so accustomed to seeing.
"Well, I…I kind of-"
"The Ten'nyo has lain dormant for the time being." Miroku went all philosophical.
"That's right. Because the Kamatari lady got kissed by InuYasha and then she went back to being Kagome." Shippo stated a matter of factly, his chest puffing out and swelling with pride.
"Mrew" Kilala nodded.
"Oh!" Hiim exclaimed, looking at Kilala he immediately searched his sky blue and lily-pad green robes and pockets as if looking for something. Finally finding it, Hiim gave his chibi smile that he ever so remembered by.
"My dear lady Kagome," Hiim swooped down into a very deep bow, one arm crossed over his chest and another dramatically high up in the air. "I hereby present to you, your favourite two-tail in the world, KORUNA!"
Kagome's arms immediately shot up in the air as her hands then flung to her mouth in surprise. With an over excited squeal, Kagome flung herself towards her little flame tailed friend.
"Koruna!" Kagome just couldn't stop hugging her friend and squealing. Koruna as well was hopping all around on Kagome and meowing like crazy. After Koruna finally stopped bouncing around and Kagome got off of her sugar high, Kagome then latched herself around Hiim's waist.
"Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" Kagome had to be practically pried off of Hiim in order for Hiim to be able to breathe.
"Certainly, it is no problem Kagome," Hiim gave a sunny smile and handed Kagome over to her lover. "Here kind sir, I believe that she is your woman." Hiim winked.
"That she is," Kouga growled. InuYasha did the same, with the exception that his was purely out of jealousy.
"Oh and by the way," Hiim rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
"What is it?" Sango asked, stepping towards Hiim and picking up her Hiraikotsu. Hiim turned around and looked at Sango with very nervous eyes.
"Well…" 'Okay, how am I gunna explain this one…Oh wait! I know! A riddle! Lemme see what I can pull up…' "The thorns always come with a rose. Be it the beauty that you look at or the pain that lies on top, there is always good in something. No matter how evil that it may seem on top."
"What are you getting at?" Shippo asked, completely bored and his body leaning up against Kilala.
"Patience my young fox," Hiim remained calm. "Though your eyes and memories serve you no justice, these eyes of mine have seen the truth. Though it took much time, the one of which you seek vengeance is not at all evil. Surely he acts evil, but he is not truly evil, for nothing living can be 'completely and truly evil.'
"Through the eyes of his heart, I have seen the fact that Naraku lives and breathes as normally as we do. He is souly driven by those who emanate rage. In this he lives his evil ways.
"Kagura, if you please." And with those few words, Kagura, dressed completely normally and walking in the exact same way as ever, emerged from the bushes. The only exception to the way she looked was by the fact that her head was down low and her fan was open to hide the best she could her blush. This certainly caught everyone's attention.
"Kagura!" Kouga spat on the ground just mentioning her name. InuYasha unsheathed the Tetsusaiga and wielded it as if he was surely going to attack. Miroku had to push Sango back. Kagome winced as everyone just suddenly seemed to go from a happy mood to a vile and hateful one.
"Please! Just hear her out!" Kagome pleaded, running in front of everyone and standing her body out to make a slightly odd X shape. "She might have something useful to say!"
"Thank you Miss Kagome," Kagura said bashfully. "Yes, I am very sorry of all that I have done in the past. Please forgive me!" Kagura got down onto her knees and bowed, begging for forgiveness.
"Keh! And why should we forgive you!" Kouga snapped. "You killed my comrades!"
"She has spilled too much blood to be forgiven," Sango gripped her Hiraikotsu as if she was about to launch it at Kagura.
"But please!" Kagura begged. "I can take you to where Naraku lays dormant. It is almost his time of month where he keeps as weak as can be. If you do not attack then, you will all have to wait another month and by then he will be much stronger!"
After mentally discussing the plan, InuYasha sheathed his sword with a collected look on his face with his eyes closed.
"Bring us to Naraku."

.o0O0o.
A/N: well then! If that wasn't enough of the madness then I hope that you go for psyco testing. I know I must be driving half of yez up the wall I haven't posted in over a month! But I made up for it! Look! More than 10 pages like usually! 15 pages! It's long and a bit boring at some parts, but I made Kagome and Kouga make out like I promised I would! (And remember guys, everytime you masturbate a kitty dies!) LoL! Couldn't help but put that in there.
.o0O0o.
Kagome: Took ya long enough.
InuYasha: So why am I letting Kagura do this again?
Jassy: Because we all want to see Naraku die in the next chapter and we can't have that unless Kagura shows us where he is! And unless you wanna go completely insane with all of these people bugging you about ending the story already and stop giving filler episodes, then you would know.
Sango: People have wanted you to stop already?
Jassy: Well…no…but I can only imagine that they do…
Naraku: Make it longer. That way I can feast on those that lay in my way until I am threatenend.
Jassy: ok, that does it. No more caffeine for you.
.o0O0o. Reviews .o0O0o.
Sakadora: You know what? I like this girl. She actually said that something was bothering her. I know that a lot of people wouldn't. Sakadora, thank you for telling me about the stuff that agitates you, but if you kept reading until a few chapters more, then you'd see that I have changed all of that. But thanks for the review anyway! nn
Brittany: -stands back- wow! If you don't want the Kagome x Kouga pairing, then Why. Are. You. Reading. My. STORY!
Mimorinu: Well I tried to make it funny! Hope you liked it! And here, if you keep on reading this then maybe you'll read this and read "THANK YOU FOR LIKING MY STORY!"
Luna Moonshine: Hoo yean do I noe who u r! Lexus! Greatta see ya! How's middle school treaten ya? Update your own story every now and then eh? It sounds alrite, but like me n Toj said before. U REALLY NEEDTA WORK ON IT!
Michie: If Inu was super affectionate in this story michie, then I think ppl wouldn't read my story because they're expecting Kouga and Kagome together. Silly girl. HOORAY! FIVE STARS! Anybody can have an idea and put it down on paper. But it takes an artist to make it into something beautiful. Like me and my story. Sure, you could have the same plot twist and everything! But could you put it into words as beautifully as you wanted to?
Kogasgirl142 DUDE! Ur spellin Kouga the American way! CRAZY! I hope that my Japanese way of spellin it didn't drive ya up the wall did it? Ehehehe, it took me long enough to update eh?
DreamBeamz HOORAY! ITS DREAMBEAMZ! One of my most faithfull reviewers! I wonder if your even continuing to read this story because it's been so long since I've updated. CRAZY! Anyway, here! Since I noe how much you wanted Kouga and Kagome to make out, VOILA! A long little bit of Kouga and Kagome. I didn't think that Kagome would be ready to do 'it' yet with Kouga. Sorry if I disappointed you there.
HIGHSCHOOL HAS STARTED! I AM GOING TO DIE!
