Chapter 3Deadly Posion

Everyone was surprised at her words. She was struggleing inside Inuyasha's arms. Not with him, but with herself. But her battle was in vain, she bite down into his arm, Inuyasha let her go out of pain. Grabbing his arm to stop the flow of blood. Kagome was holding herself trying to stop from hurting the others. She was ripping into her flesh with her claws to keep her hands at bay. Her struggles stop suddenly. Slowly raiseing her emotionless eyes, she turned her gaze to Inuyasha. She leaped at him with amazeing speed. She had one hand held out infront of her, the tips were inches away from his throat when Kirara jumped at her and sank her fangs into her back leg.

"Kagome?" They shouted. Kagome raised her head, she hissed at the cat. Sinking her fangs into his neck, she kicked Kirara away with her other leg. Sending the cat flying into Sango. Kagome pounced on Miroku as well, punching him hard enough to break his jaw bone, she knocked him out cold. Standing up, her gaze fell on the cat and Sango, Sango was stunned by what happened, but not for long. She stood up and threw her hiraikotsu at Kagome. Kagome caught it and threw it back at Sango with even more force. Hitting her in the stomach, Sango gasped and landed on her stomach. Getting on her hands and knees, she coughed up blood before passing out from the blow.

Sesshomaru

Surrounded by dead demons, he walked into the demon castle that was located in the sky. Invisiable to human and hanyous, only demons can see it. But if a human and hanyou where to touche the land, than they could see it. Underneight the castle was a large gapping hole in the ground on which the castle was orginally built. Standing at the gate, was two demons that where garding the entrence of the castle. Holding his fore finger and middle finger together, a whip formed and he slashed the two demons with it, "Out of the way." He said coldy. Breaking the gate with the whip, it vanished.

He walked traveled through the large grand castle. Stepping into the throne room, the doors behind him, closed on their own. Sitting at the back of the room was a demoness lord. She smiled at him, "Lord Sesshomaru, it has been a very long time."

"So I was right, it is you, Adi. You look much more stronger than when we last meet."

"I am not the same little girl you remember." She raised her brow. "So, it appears that you have lost your arm. Your fathers fang I believe. Am I correct?"

"Inteligent as ever Adi. You have changed." He narrowed his eyes, sizeing up the thin, frail looking demon. She had her hair tied in a pony tail on her head, ((the same spot on which Sango's hair is tied up.)) Her hair was a dark shade of red, close to the color of blood. Her eyes where perceing green with a hint of hazel in them. She had a red kimono on, but covering her lower part of her chest and waist, she had on a black armour that looked a little like Bankotsu's. Her bangs was low enough to cover her flawless brow. She also had a large navy blue sash holding her armour and kimono together, to keep it from falling off her. In the sash, she had a demon sword that was forged fom her own fathers fang. She, unlike the others, had a tail. It was a darker color than her hair, and was very fluffy.

"Thank you Lord Sesshomaru." She tilted her head and narrowed her eyes. "So it looks like that you did not get the Sounga nor the Tetsusaiga. But you did get the lowly Tensaiga. Fitting, if I must say."

"Slience your tounge, it would be wise not to mock me nor my fathers fang. Even though it is worthless to me."

"Ahhh." She said mockingly. "So it seems that you have grown softer over the past several hundred years. In cause you are not aware, I have the ablities to see into ones heart and see their inner most secret disires. And read their minds as well." Sesshomaru's eyes widen a little at this, but he narrowed them in a second. She laughed "You, traveling with a human. A female child no less. How sad, father would be most displeased. I am amazed that we are kin."

"We are not kin, you where adopted as was your father into our clan. Your father was a disgrace to the clan. That is why we left the clan for good."

She laughed coldly, "I will not agure over that, he was a digrace of a demon. But so unlike yours, he did not lose his heart to a mortal woman, nor was he killed in battle with a one armed human no less. No, my father loved to devour human flesh. I find that most disgusting. Eating a human, that is most punishable in my eyes. He was slain by my hands, and I had a sword forged from his head. Do you like that was fitting for a digrace like him?"

"Mind your mouth girl. No one lives long after insulting father. Your father was bad blood, as are you." Her smile was replaced by a frown. She furrowed her brow. "Draw your sword Adi." He unsheathed his Tokijin. Adi placed the flute that she was playing into the top part of her kimono. She unsheathed her fang.

"How dare you, you insulent fool. I am not of bad blood. You are the one who is soiled with such blood. Just think, a hanyou in our prideful family. That is truely unforgiveable. It was a good thing that he was killed the way he did. Died by the hands of a mortal man who loved the human woman who bore a son, that your father fathered. How ironic." She opened her mouth and laughed loudly, stopping suddenly she held up her fang. "I was starting to get worried that you wouldn't what to fight Sesshomaru." An evil smile graced the tips of her lips. She charged at him.

Inuyasha and the others

She was standing over the hurt cat demon. Holding out one of her hand in front of her, she poked the cat, hard in the ribs. "Is that all you have cat?" She turned back to Inuyasha was was leaning over and panting hard. She walked towards the hut and picked up her bow an arrow. Holding the arrow ready, she whisled to get his attenction. Inuyasha's ears twitched and stood up a little strighter. Seeing that she was about to shoot him, he tried to leap away but was too slow. She released the arrow, sending Inuyasha into the tree. Pinning him agaist it, she started to walked up to him. The others where all laying around the ground, all of them out cold. Shippo was hideing behind Kirara. Kagome ignored the weak kitsune. She froze in her tracks, her eyes where going from red to blue tha back to red again.

Sesshomaru

She has inproved in power and knowledge, but I am superior to her. But, I have never known her to dis me or her father. She will pay for dissing me and my father. But, I am courious in why she has changed so much.

Flashback

"Sesshy wait for me!" The young demoness called running after Sesshomaru. Catching up to him, "Why are you leaving the clan?" She turned to his father, "Why?" Sesshomaru's father bent down to her eye level.

"We must leave Adi, we have no disire to remain in this clan anymore." He stood up and turned on his heels. Adi, who is a little older than Shippo ((in the present)) began to cry.

Sesshomaru looked at her, "Demon's do not cry. Remember that." He turned and followed his father at a distance. She shook her head in agreement, and waved farewell to the two.

End

"Yes I have changed. I am no longer as kind as I once was. So you what to know do you?" She jumped away from his, holding her sword at her side. "The clan does not take to kindly to kind and nice demons. Which I once was. I saved a human girl, about fifty years after you left. We became good friends. The leader of the clan scolded me on becomeing a friend with a human. He spared her life, but I was punished. Ordering me to never see her again, I disobayed him. He found me and the human playing in the village. The villagers didn't like me very much, but they kept their distance. He punished me by makeing me kill all the villagers if she was to live."

She clutched her hand in fury. "The basterd didn't keep his promise. After I had killed everyone in the village. He killed her in front of my eyes." She snarled. "After that, I cursed the clan. Stupid, I know that, but she was my first and only friend that I have ever had."

"So is this why you have changed?"

"Part of it, the clan all shunned me, and punished me for no reason. One time the leader of the clan almost beat me to death. My heart has grown cold and hard over the years." She held up her weapon, "Enough of that, now lets finish what we started." She leaped at him. Sesshomaru, held out his Tokijin. The two exchanged blows and landed far apart. Their backs where to each other. Sesshomaru's armour crumbled and fell to the ground. Adi stood up and turned around to face him. He looked at her with narrowed eyes. She smiled, "Looks like I got your armour, to bad it wasn't your head that fell to the ground." She started to laugh, but when her sash fell apart into many pieces, and all her clothing fell to the floor leaveing her naked. Her face grew hard with hate and fury at once. She used her tail to cover her bare breast.

"Basterd, you will pay for my humiliation." She said coldy. Glanceing at the exit, that was behind Sesshomaru. She growled at him. Bending down to pick up her kimono and the sheath, she covered her body with it. Not bothering with the rest she sheathed her sword. Walking past her things, she walked towards Sesshomaru. He sheathed his weapon as well.

He followed her with his eyes as she passed him she said "Till next time." She shoot daggers at him and vanished through the door. Sesshomaru walked towards the rest of Adi's things. Reaching down, he picked up the flute that she was playing to control Kagome. The flute had a blood red gem attached to it, he took the gem off the flute, dropping the flute, he chrushed the gem to dust.

"That should free the girl. Don't think of this as an act of murcy, I will be the one to kill you, little brother." He turned and left the castle as well.

Damn him, that Sesshomaru, my spell over the girl has most likely broken. She will be gaining her senses back soon. I have never been so humiliated! He will pay, just like the rest of the clan, with his life. Or maybe I should spare his life and make him my servant? Her heart beat quicken at the thought of him as her servent. She shook her head, Damn these female feelings of love . . .! I will kill him and thus, my heart will be without any feelings of love, kindness, and conpassion. And I will be on the way to supreme conquest! And kill all the weak, useless humans!

Inuyasha and the others

Inuyasha watched Kagome slowly change back. Her eyes turned blue, her hair changed back to light blue as well. Looking like she was about to faint, Inuyasha jumped to her very slowly I might add, considering she almost killed the guy!

"Inuyasha...why didn't you run away from me? I told you to run, but you stayed with me. Even though I could have killed you..." She looked at his chest, the front and back of his kimono was soaked in blood. His throat had small, gaping holes, and two large ones.

"I wouldn't leave you, never. No matter how much you hurt me, I would never leave you." His grip on her tighten. Tears slowly dropped down her chin.

"But you could have died...I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing that the man- that I was the one who killed you..."

"Kagome...Stop talking like that. It takes a lot more to kill me than that, you of all people shold know that by now." She smiled, and buried her face into his shoulder and cried. Inuyasha stroked her head.

"Miroku, are you hurt?" Inuyasha said to the monk that had a nice blue bruise on his jaw bone, he was rubbing it.

"No, I'll live. How are you, anything hurt?"

"More or less." Shippo said.

"Sango? How about you?" Miroku looked at her. She was sitting up and holding her stomach where she was hit by her own weapon. Miroku looked at Inuyasha and Kagome holding onto each other, held out his arms. "Come into my arms my dear Sango." He had a lump on his head, "just kidding..." Sango hit him, and had an anime pulse on her forehead. Miroku sighed and anime sweat drop.

Inuyasha smiled. Resting his head on hers.

"Wait why did she change back? She could have killed us all" Sango asked looking around.

"No clue, what ever happened it turned Kagome back to herself. So it was a good thing. I think..."

"Yeah, I agree." Inuyasha said slowly.

"Wait, were did Shippo and Kirara run of to?" Kagome stood up and looked at the others.

"She found a patch of cat nip...over that way." Sango sighed pointing to the right, you could see a little yellow ball of fuzz laying on a patch of cat nip. Miroku laughed at that.

"Yep she sure did, soon as she smelled it, off she goes!"

"That's nothing to laugh about." Sango glared.

"Inuyasha, lay down." Kagome ordered him.

"No, I'm fine. Don't worry about me." She mummbled sit. Wham! He rose his head up and shouted "Bloody traitors, I won't forget this!" Miroku took off the top part of his kimono. To clean up the wounds. Kagome left to get her medicine and was back in a few seconds with Shippo and Kirara.

"Here, Miroku what are you stareing at?"

He was stareing at the wounds on his neck from Kagome's fangs. The wounds where oozeing green pus. Kagome stared at it in horror.

"The wounds have been posioned! Kagome, we need to clean them out now!" Sango ordered. Kagome looked at her navy blue colored claws. "What happened to him?." She touched the tip of her fang, a clear liquid dripped on her fore finger. "Sango, what's this?"

"That's a nasty type of posion, where did you find it? Clean your hands now!"

"My fangs are posionus" She cried out, grabbing her own shoulders. Shuddering, she dropped down next to Inuyasha.

"I'm not very sure what type of posion this is, I've never seen anything like it. But I have heard about it before. Miroku, have you seen it before?"

"No, never."

"I have to get him to my time." She tied the sleeves of his kimono around her waist. Hoisting him up on her shoulder, she turned to leave. "Please forgive me..." She leaped away.

"Put me down Kagome! Now!" Inuyasha tried to get off her shoulder but his arms and legs felt like lead. Unable to move, he was grateful for her help, he stop his efferts.

"Inuyasha I can't, you've been posioned . . . by me. Wait! My time period most likely won't know what posion this is, we need to go to Jijenji, he may know what type of posion this is." She stop on the tree branch and turned to the left of her and began to leap towards Jijenji's and his mother's herb garden.

Jijenji's herb garden

"Jijenji, come here for a minute."

"Yes mother?"

"Look at this herb, I don't remember planting it here before."

"I did mother. I found it over that ways." He said pointing to the left of him. Looking over where he pointed, she saw a small red dot in the forest comeing towards them.

"Hey, isn't that Inuyasha? But whose that with him?"

"Jijneji!" Kagome shouted getting closer to them. She stop and began to pant. "I'm glad I found you. Inuyasha's been posioned."

"Do we know you?" His mother asked.

"Mother, it's Kagome, what happened to you?" Jijenji took him off

Kagome's shoulder. Lifting him up he walked into their samll home. "Do you what posioned him?"

"Um...Yeah, it was me, but I was possessed." Her head dropped. Jijenji took a good look at Inuyasha. "I need a sample of the posion."

Kagome opened her mouth and touched her fang again, the clear liquid oozed on her finger. Jijenji took a leaf and wipped the liquid on the leaf. Takeing the leaf in the hut, he looked at Inuyasha's wounds.

"This is a rare but deadly posion. I'm amazed that he's still alive. The antidote is even harder to find. But I do have a few of the leafs that is needed to make it. By his injuries and the amount of posion in his body, he has about till the sun rise. If he's lucky that is."

"Sun up! That's not very far away, do you have every thing you need to make it?"

"No, I need another plant leaf and it's berries. I'll draw you a picture of them." He went inside and got a piece of paper and ink. It took only about a minute or two to finish. Kagome was sitting by Inuyasha, his breathing was shallow. "Here you go Kagome. The plant is common, but not in our lands. You need to travel west till you get past a very large river. Over this river you should find plenty of them. I may need a lot of them." He picked up a basket and handed it to her. "Try to fill this up. You must hurry if he is to live at all. I will have every thing set by the time you get back." He walked outside and filled up a pot full of water. Setting it down to boil, he turned back to see that she was gone.

His mother went outside to pick the herbs needed for the antidote. "Good luck Kagome."

The search for the herbs

Kagome was running along the outside of the forest, when a famillar scent reached her nose. Stopping suddenly, a wind devil appeared out of no where. A wolf demon jumped out of it.

"Yo . . . . Kagome...? What happened to you?"

"It's Koga, umm I was bitten by a demon. . . and now I'm different." Koga leaned down close to her.

"You smell much better, Sweeter I should say." He walked around her sizeing her up. "Hey! Your hair is much longer," He stood infront of her and looked into her eyes. "Eyes look like the ocean."

"Umm-uh? Okay now I'm confused, what do you mean 'sweeter'?" Her eyes narrowed, "What, did I smell bad or something?" Koga was surprised and had an anime sweat drop.

"No! not at all, you smelt good, but you smell better now!" He waved his hands in front of his face.

"Hu-uh. Koga, can you help me find this plant? I have a picture of it here." She reached into her pocket and pulled out the small piece of paper with the plant. "I don't know what it's called. He never did say." Koga took a good look at the drawing.

"Yeah, I know where it is. Follow me, I'll show you. Need a lift?" He asked hopefully. She sighed and shook her head no. He sighed, "Ahhh..."

"Come on already, enough of this nonsense. Inuyasha's life depends on me to get this plant for him."

"Inutrasha?"

"Not 'trasha' yasha.

"Why should I help the mute out?" He asked crossing his arms. "What's in it for me?"

"Agh! What is with you today! Just show me where the plant is."

"What will I get in return?" He asked, tilting his head to the left he looked at her.

Kagome pointed her finger back at him. "If you help me, I'll...I'll? . . .Hmmm? What will I do? I'll give you all the bags of chips I have! Is that good enough?"

Koga's shoulders dropped, not out of disapointment, but out of being surprised. "Really? Sure than, follow me!" He took of with her close behind.

Geese, he's such a pain, but hey! At lest he doesn't insult me like Inuyasha does. . .Please be okay Inuyasha. . .
