A/N: Italics mean that two people are communicating inside of their minds. Please leave reviews, I'll love to hear you all thoughts! It means so much to me. You can also leave suggestions. Also, just to clarify things, this is NOT a InuYasha/Kagome fanfic. This is really a Kiyomi/(you will know soon enough). Matter of fact, I really don't like the Inu/Kagome fanfics, unless it deals with them in school. AND Kagome in a abusive situations. Sorry, but its just the truth. I like the ones with Sess/Kagome that involves drama and all that, but onwards with the story.
All eyes stuck on Kagome. InuYasha; however, giving her the most intent gaze in the group. It was an eerie silence. So Sango decided to break it up.
"Kagome, would you care for a walk with me?" asked Sango
"Uh….sure Sango," Kagome seeing the help in the Slayer's eyes.
As she got her bag got knock over, and pictures flown out. One landing right next to InuYasha's foot. She wonders how they got in her bag; she must've made a mistake and grabbed them. Kagome walked over to InuYasha and realized it was one of her, Kiyomi, and Sota now.
"This Kiyomi?" InuYasha asked in a low voice, but somehow he already knew the answer.
"Yes," she sat by the hanyou.
"She-" InuYasha's words were cut off by horrifying screams.
"The village is under attack," shouted the monk.
The group ran out of Kaede's hut. What they seen was terrifying. It was to dragons a red and black one. The red one had yellow markings and was spitting fire. However, the black one had purple and almost like a ghost blue markings. It had black talons with something red dripping from them, and had purple fire from the talons.
"What the-"said InuYasha.
"What are those things?" shouted one villager.
"Who are they?" another one said.
"Where did they come?" said a villager who was grabbing his daughters and running into a hut.
Kagome noticed that the dragon with yellow markings was heading towards an elderly couple. Quickly, she knotted an arrow, and released it. The arrow hit the dragon in its side. After, gaining the dragon's attention, Kagome ran away from the village. She looked behind her to notice that the dragon was no longer behind her, she turned to realize it was standing in front of her. Although shaking with fear, Kagome bravely spoke to dragon, demanding who he was.
"Ah, precious little miko, your fear feeds me greatly," satisfaction spread across his face.
"Hm, h-how do you know my name?," the miko was shocked to know that the dragon knew of her name.
"Your presence is known everywhere. The miko, who came from an unknown village. The same miko who freed that bastard hanyou, son of the 'Great' Dog General. What's hisss name? Ah, InuYasha," he said InuYasha's name with so much venom. Kagome look the dragon in its eyes, and noticed pools of yellow and red was swirling within the creatures eyes. After, he got her where he wanted her to be, he called to her. "Come, to me little one. Come. Come" His eyes widen at how easy it was, he almost want to laugh at the 'miko. Thinking to himself that she could not be the one, where she overcome the Dog General eldest poison. Look how easy it was for her to succumb to him. "Yes, that's it, little one. Come to me. Once, I have you, I shall have you take me to your village, and I'll feast on -"
"Don't you touch her, you bastard," roared the hanyou.
"I'll take pleasure in feasting on your bones, InuYashaaa," the dragon snarled .
"And I'll take pleasure killing you. Sango! Miroku! Shippo! Take Kagome to safety. Now!," the white hair youkai commanded. "Its going to get ugly."
Both settled into fighting stance, InuYasha delivered the first blow. He smirk thinking he caused great damaged using Wind scar; however, he quickly realized that the dragon youkai barely had an scratch. InuYasha's eyes widen in shocked, to see that an youkai lived through Wind Scar. No youkai ever lived to see day nor night, after Wind Scar was used. Yet, here these vile creature did. Standing there with a smile on his face, that made the hanyou even more angry.
Right when he was about land another blow, the dragon with ghostly blue marking came out. "Ah, forgive us half breed," knowing that would making the hanyou angrier. "Allow me to introduce ourselves, I am-"
"We don't give a damn who you are. What we want to know is, why did you come here? Who sent you?," said InuYasha with anger swelling up in him.
"I thought your mother would've taught you manners," said the dragon mockingly
"You know nothing of my mother, you bastard."
Chuckling, the dragon glanced at the miko, and his smile widen, "I see your live miko is still in shock. Anyways, as I was saying I am Xiuhcoatl, and this my brother Attor." He stopped to smell the 'breeze'. "Your anger taste very well. It almost sweet like." InuYasha gripped the sword harder and was getting ready to swing, until he noticed Kikyo's soul collectors. He checked back to see Kagome still knocked out, and it was coming from Kikyo's direction. The dragon with ghostly blue markings, who name was Xiuhcoatl, chuckled.
"What are you laughing at? I'll wipe that smirk off your face."
"Ah, your anger taste divine. I see that you notice that the dead miko, if you can call her that. Is near, anyways me and my brother have more destruction to lay upon others, we shall see you and your companions soon half breed. Before the dragons left, they made sure to knock more trees down and Attor blew fire, while Xiuhcoatl fan it with his tail to make it spread more.
Just when InuYasha was about to chase after the brothers, Lady Kaede called after him, "InuYasha, come. We lived to see this day. It'll be another for ye to fight." Deciding it was best, he thought once he finished with the village, he'll go see Kikyo to see if she was hurt. It took the group nearly all day to finish their chores. By the time they had finished it was nightfall. Once they had finally finished with the dead and feeding and tending to the villagers, the group rested in Kaede's hut. InuYasha; however, stayed up. He waited till sleepiness fell upon everybody eyes, then snuck quietly away into the night.
After, jumping from tree to tree, he noticed Kikyo laying against the a tree holding her side. "Kikyo, are you alright?" Though he couldn't see it, she was smirking at how much of a fool he was. Making her voice sound like she was in pain she grunted, "No, InuYasha, the arrow, it-its stuc-" She started panting to make it even more believable. "Its going to be alright Kikyo, I'll get some supplies and you'll be better."
"InuYasha, I'm afraid that I won't make. The pain is unbearable," she lied. She wanted so bad to start laughing in the stupid hanyou face.
"No, I won't let that happen. I'll get Kagome and she'll fix you up."
"My c-c-copy InuYasha? What if she tries to harm me?"
"She wouldn't dare, not with me right here."
"Okay, InuYasha. Hurry, please." Nodding, the hanyou sat the clay pot of the priestess down, gently, and rushed to get the girl from the future.
He jumped from branch to branch, knocking down villagers' laundry, but he didn't care. Kikyo needed him. Once, the village was in sight, he quickly ran and broke the door off of Kaede's hut. His actions startled everyone, making everyone in the hut wake up, and move their sore muscles. Kagome looked up and noticed he was walking towards her. "InuYasha?"
"Get up, wench. Kikyo needs you." Everyone gasped at the hanyou's words.
"What?!," coming from the Slayer.
"She heard me. Get dressed. NOW! Kikyo's dying. I'll be outside waiting."
"No, Kagome has wounds on her body too. I'm pretty sure whatever wounds on that clay pot wouldn't affect her greatly. She can wait. Matter fact have another healer save her," Sango still couldn't see how he managed the smell of the clay pot.
"No, my momma not going no where with you, and she's not helping Kikyo, you big meanie," said Shippo while throwing the monk's sandals at the hanyou's head.
"Why, you little runt?!," grunted the hanyou while rushing to the kitsune. Realizing he was wasting time. Time that Kagome needed for to save his Kikyo." His gaze went towards the human and noticed she was still sitting down. "What the hell? Get your lazy ass up and come help Kikyo, Kagome," growled InuYasha. He grabbed the miko by her wrist and quickly rushed out the hut. "Kiara," shouted the Slayer. The neko admittedly understood her master. Sango and Miroku rushed to the fire cat with Shippo hot their trails. Before they left they slayer gave Shippo a command, "Shippo stay here. Things might get ugly. Watch after Kaede." The Slayer quickly looked around, and noticed that villagers came out of the hut. Her and Miroku quickly jumped on Kiara and flew into the air. She grunted while scanning for the hanyou and Kagome. "How could he take her like that, Miroku? Doesn't he know how many times Kikyo tried to kill Kagome?"
"Yes, InuYasha a fool indeed. Thinking makes his head hurts," said the monk, agreeing with the Slayer.
"Kiara land. I see them." the fire cat quickly landed in front of InuYasha, scowling him. The group noticed that their friend wrist was bleeding from the hanyou strong grip. "Get out of the way, cat. Kikyo is right at the river, she needs me. And Kagome gonna help."
"InuYasha, you fool. What if Lady Kagome gets hurt, while she's trying to 'help' the 'miko'?," scowled the monk.
"She won't, alright. Kikyo would never. She only tries to help. Kagome just be getting in the way too damn much," grunted the hanyou as a scowl appeared across his face, while looking at Kagome.
"Look InuYasha, put Kagome down-" The dead priestess could hear the conversation and it angrier her on how much everyone adored her pathetic excuse of an copy. If only she could get her soul back, she thought. But the slayer and monk were here, along with the nekomata. If they weren't here she'll get her soul back and with InuYasha being so stupid he will help her. It'll be another time, she thought. Getting tired of the conversation she decided it was time to play her part.
"InuYasha, please hurry. I need you. I fear that I don't have much time left," interrupted the dead priestess.
Grunting, he shoved the Slayer and monk out the way, while earning a scowl from the fire cat. "Now. fix her," commanding the hanyou. Kagome wanted to cry on how rough InuYasha. When they gotten to Kikyo, he pushed her roughly down to the ground. SHe wanted to shed tears, but she simply held those in. Kagome look at the priestess wide- eye, she noticed that she was sweating, and had an arrow struck in her robes. The crimson color blood covered her white robes. "Hurry," urged the hanyou.
Shyly, Kagome quietly said that she need the priestess to remove her robes. InuYasha rushed over and carefully took off her robes for Kagome. he didn't get red all over, as Kagome did. Seeing that he seen Kikyo naked before on there previous encounters before. After he removed her robes, Kagome could now see that arrow was stuck in her side, though not a lot of blood was coming out. "I need some water to clean it, before I removed it." InuYasha rushed to the river and took a large leaf. To which he used for to get the water, after collecting the water, he hurriedly gave it to Kagome. "I need some cloth too."
"Use your shirt," grunting the hanyou.
"What?!," exclaimed the group as they looked at InuYasha with anger and shocked eyes. "What? She doesn't wear much clothes anyways. So, she shouldn't care about wearing any less." Kagome couldn't believe her ears. "Look, wench if you won't tear it, I WILL," commanded the hanyou. Tearful Kagome rip some cloth from her own shirt and dipped it in water. Some of her tears hitting the tears. The dead miko noticed and she so wanted to smile, but she continued to play her part. After, cleaning the blood the dead priestess, Kagome then wrapped leaves the arrow, so she could pull it from the priestess. She gripped the end of the arrow, and tried to pull it out, until Kikyo yelled. "What did you do, you wench?!," yelled InuYasha. Oh Kagome, so badly wanted to cry, yet she kept it all in. "It hurts InuYasha." The hanyou looked at the miko and sent glares to her, that felt like daggers. "I'll try not too, Kikyo.," said Kagome trying to force the lump back down her throat. "No you will." Kagome looked up to the hanyou and her eyes widen with fear in it. Kagome then gripped the end of the arrow again, and quickly pulled the arrow out of Kikyo. After pulling the arrow out, the dead priestess grunted in pain, with that Kagome earned a scowl from InuYasha. Quickly, Kagome wrapped the now semi wet cloth around the dead miko abdomen. Once it was wrapped well, Kagome then tied it and used some sticky substance she found, and place it on the 'gauze'. So, that it could hold.
"Okay, I'm done," said the miko tiredly.
"Move out the way wench," grunted the hanyou. As he was moving towards the Kikyo, he shoved Kagome aside, causing her to land on her butt and back.
"C'mon Kagome, Kiara will take you to the village," said the Slayer as a scowl came across her face. Which was aimed towards the hanyou. The hanyou just annoyed the gazes and looks from his companions. Kagome got up and covered her arms around her chest area. As long as Kikyo was in his present, he would barely pay them no mind. He quickly picked up the clay pot, and careful placed her head on his lap, all while he softly rubbed her hand. Making sure that she was comfortable. His affection towards the dead one, earned him pretty harsh words, scowls, and the middle finger from the Slayer.
Once his companions left, he continue to hold Kikyo's hand, as if she were to be dragged to hell at that moment. He softly spoke those very words to her, "Oh, Kikyo, I'll never leave you," protesting the hanyou. "InuYasha, your friends do not wish for our happiness," the dead priestess said.
"Oh, I know Kikyo. They just angry that we love each other so much. It was all Kagome's fault. If she never ran, then we wouldn't be in this situation." InuYasha; however, couldn't see how it'll be that miko fault, but he just wanted an easy target.
"Oh, InuYasha, my love," exclaimed the dead clay pot of an priestess. In a whispered she asked for the hanyou to take her.
"But Kikyo you just got bandaged up. I don't want you to get all hurt from," InuYasha said with an smirk.
"I wish for you to take me, InuYasha. I'm in need InuYasha. I need your touch all over my body."
"No, I don't want to hurt you Kikyo," saying sternly.
Realizing she wasn't going to get what she wanted, and might have to take an yokai, she quickly came up with some reverse phycology. "Fine, go to my pathetic copy InuYasha. I know you want her, that's why you deny me. You won't that fraud of mines body instead of mines. How could you InuYasha?" Though she wouldn't mind an youkai, she just wanted to use the hanyou for now. She also, knew he wouldn't leave her alone for a couple days, until he knew she was well.
Shocked by her words, InuYasha cupped her face in his hands and looked into her soulless eyes. But to him they looked like black pearls, InuYasha couldn't see what others saw. "Kikyo, I love you. I don't love Kagome. She just a shard detector. She's not like you, always getting in trouble or injury. She's not strong like you. She's pathetic." Sighing, he finally gave in, "Okay, I'll stay with you, until the morning. Then I'll return to you, after everyone has went to sleep."
"Oh, InuYasha," said the dead priestess. She gave the hanyou an hug, but unbeknownst to him, the clay priestess was smiling . Smiling at her success and how easy he was. She truly loved, not him, but how easy it was to use him. Oh how so bad, she wanted to laugh, yet she kept it all in.
A/N: I refuse to call Kikyo a miko. She doesn't deserve the title. she will always be a clay pot to me, or dead priestess. InuYasha will be getting his. Can't tell you when though.
