Chapter 5
Tamahome was pinned against the wall with Kagome gripping his shirt. while Hotohori watched her do her magic... Tamahome *gulped* down his fear from the sheer anger that was coming off Kagome.
"Tamahome, about a few minutes ago a guard of the palace informed me about my sisterly friend is ill and believe me I think I know why she ended up ill. now could you tell me why and who could of made her sick?" asked Kagome
Hotohori had to hold back a *graon* from the cheer beauty Kagome was when she was angry. Tamahome didn't know what to do. her eye's where glowing and the power that she has she was scarry and he was fucking turned on by it.
"Well I was kinda my faught. I did and say something that I shouldn't have." said Tamahome
Kagome hissed from what he had said. she slammed him into the wall again. while Tamahome left a nice puddle of his own pee on the palace marble floors. even though he was turned on but also affraid for his own life.
"Verrry good Tamahome. now let's use your brain for this one. Tamahome what did you say and do to make her this way?" asked Kagome
Tamahome *gulped* down his fear. Hotohori shivered with pleasure so did Nuriko, this was the first time she was seeing the Shikon miko at work and she has to say it was sexy as hell.
"She confessed her feeling's and I told her that I didn't feel the same and she passed out when I walked away." rambled Tamahome
"Now this is what I want you to do Tamahome. I want you to pull up your frilly stockings and tight in your thong. and stop being such a fucking pansy and be a fucking man and appologize. if I find out that you didn't in two day's. I will cut your dick off with a fucking rusty carving knife. and make sure you are not a man no more. bye!" hissed Kagome
Kagome threw Tamahome into the wall and went into the room where Miaka was so she would be able to attend to her sisterly freind. while Hotohori and Nuriko shook their head's at the passed out Tamahome.
Meanwhile the fallowing day,
Kagome and Miaka were sleeping peacefully in the room. Kagome spent the whole day and night taking care of hersisterly friend and exhausted herself. Hotohori, Tamahome who was in a corner still moping from what he had done. Hotohori and Nuriko watched over them as they continued to sleep.
."M-mother father…Br-brother's…" gasped Miaka
It was obvious that Miaka was really homesick. The three of them were sad for Miaka. They knew she missed her home and they would decide on how to do that. After all, what good is a priestess who is nothing but homesick? The doctor earlier also said something about this whole priestess thing putting a big strain on her which made them all feel equally at fault. Kagome's eyes fluttered open and slowly lifted her head up. She placed a hand on the girl's head and was disappointed when her friend's fever had only gone up. If only she could heal others besides herself. Kagome looked up to see Nuriko and the others.
"Can't we do something?" asked Kagome
"Come, we shall discuss this matter in my study," said Hotohori
Hotohori led them out of the room and into the halls. They walked silently towards the Emperor's office and stood in front of his desk while he sat behind his table. Hotohori intertwined his fingers, propped his elbows on his table, and placed his chin gently on his hands. while Kagome sat on his desk.
"Miaka's fever has reached a critical level and the palace doctors cannot heal her."said Hotohori
"What are you saying?" asked Kagome quietly.
"Don't worry. I'm sure there's a way…" chirped Nuriko
Nuriko tried to cheer Kagome up but failed miserably. Hotohori *sighed* as he reached for Kagome hand he knew she felt bad since she didn't have the stuff she needed since she was still new to the area to make any sort of potion.
Taiitsukun." said Hotohori
Tamahome and Nuriko looked at him with wide eyes at what he had just said. how would they be able to find the Taiitsukun. Hotohori looked at Kagome he hoped that she wouldn't go back with Miaka.
"Taiitsukun is a great sage. It was Taiitsukun who gave us the scroll of The Universe of the Four Gods. It is said that Taiitsukun is a very powerful being and can do extraordinary things. Taiitsukun lives in Mt. Taikyoku and is some sort of hermit, or so they say. Perhaps this one can transport Miaka back to your world and she can heal there." explained Hotohori
Kagome let all what he had said sink in. now she understood it meant that's how the other's would be able to get here from Taiitskun. but there is soemthing else that she was connection to her and this Taiitskun person.
"Thank you. I want to go with you. It'd make me feel better to see her off…" said Kagome
They looked at her and wonderd why in the world she wasn't going back with Miaka. Hotohori let out a *sigh* of relief that she was staying here with them. but then again she maybe staying for him.
"Aren't you going back with Miaka?"asked Nuriko
Kagome smiled softly at Nuriko's concern, she was happy the well said creepy person who starting to remind her of Koga to much. but it was welcomed to show her that Nuriko was showing she cared.
"If Miaka is gone then things will become hectic in this place. I need to stay with you so that the people will not think that they are abandoned. They will want to ask questions and I need to be here to answer them. My family and others will be returning with her." said Kagome
Hotohori smiled there will be other's inside of the palace. something he always wished to have. with his Kagome around it wont be so lonely no more and now he would have almost all the rooms filled.
"Very well, then we shall move out at once! Ready our horses! We travel light." ordered Hotohori
His subjects went straight to work right away. They scattered around the palace to ready the required equipment for the journey. Deciding not be left behind, Nuriko, Tamahome, and Kagome left the room to prepare their own necessities.
Meanwhile two hours later
Everyone was fixing up their own horses. while Kagome made sure they had a capsule for the house they would have to stay in tonight. she had also gotten used to sleeping next to Hotohori and it seemed he knew that he was one of her mate's.
"Your Majesty! Surely you could at least take a few men with y-"
"No need for that. We will travel swiftly and we will be fine," Hotohori reprimanded his adviser.
"Sire, you can't go!"
They were setting off now and Hotohori was determined to come along. Kagome watched as he scolded his subject and giggled at the show while helping Miaka onto the Emperor's horse. Tamahome and Miaka were in a rather awkward situation so it was decided that she'll ride with herself.
"This is my empire and as its Emperor I have the authority to go wherever I please. As these are my lands I can go in and out at any given time and I should also like to see what is currently happening within my territory," said Hotohori
"Y-Y-Yes, Your M-M-Majesty, b-but to go i-in a c-c-commoners clothes they d-don't-"
"Yes, I still look-" said Hotohori
Kagome *growled* they where sooo not getting no where with these morons wait till they get a refreshing course on how to do their job by people who knew what they where doing.
"All right, Hotohori, we don't need to hear your narcissistic comment. Let's go we are not getting no where at this point in time." said Kagome
Kagome pushed the young man away from his adviser who silently thanked Kagome was the one that the emperor wanted so they prayed fro them to get together. The Emperor made a few protests. while kagome got on her horse with Miaka after she muttered a spell so no one would see her. as they took off on their mission to send Miaka home and bring the others here.
Meanwhile a few hours later
They all stopped somewere to eat and rest for a while befroe they all set back off to find the mysterous Taiitskun. Tamahome, Miaka and Nuriko ordered something to eat.
"I'm so tired, I can barely eat..." complained Miaka
Miaka as she rested her head on the table they sat at. while a huge pile of dishs that she hogged down and never saved none for the others to eat. while Tamahome eye twitched in annoyance,
"What do you mean 'barely'? You ate 20 bowls already!" growled Tamahome
Tamahome as he pointed at the stack of empty bowls on the table. Nuriko laughed nervously and tried to calm him down from strangling the sick gril. then again Kagome did say that Miaka father and brothers ate the same amount.
"Now, now, Tamahome, Miaka is ill, remember? Maybe she really is not feeling good." chirped Nuriko
Miaka lifted her head and scanned the area and realized that neither Kagome nor Hotohori were there. she wondered where they wondered off to. maybe they wanted to be alone somewhere.
"Hey, where are Hotohori and Kagome?" asked Miaka
Nuriko and Tamahome stopped talking and looked around as well, now they where wondered where Kagome had gone off to they knew where Hotohori was but not Kagome.
"His Highness did say that he would patrol the area and Kagome said that she'd go with him," thought Nuriko out loud
Tamahome shrugged and continued to eat while trying to block Miaka's attempts at snatching his food. well what food was left from her pigging out on all their food they kinda thought in horror with four more people like her who ate like her when she come's back.
Meanwhile somewhere else.
Hotohori sat on the grass and marveled at the scenery. The trees were everywhere and the mountains stood tall and proud among them. He could hear the birds chirp cheerfully and the animals' swift movements throughout the forests. He looked at the clear blue sky that covered them all like a was lying down next to him with her eyes closed. A hand shielded her closed eyes from the sunlight. Hotohori had suggested that they stop there for a while and rest but she knew the real reason. He wanted to enjoy this little freedom and gaze upon this landscape for a while
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" asked Kagome
"Yes. It is the first time I've ever went outside my capital and I would really appreciate the scenery while I can." said Hotohori
Hotohori reached over and ran his fingers through her long soft hair. Kagome smiled she loved it when he did that. as he kissed her neck when thet where on their way here he got enough courage to ask her to be his and she agreed and it made him happy. but he had to share her with someone else and that he didn't mind. He watched as a smile formed on her lips. Curious,
"What do you find to your liking dearest?"asked Hotohori
"I was thinking about the trips I told you about. the planets we went to for the battles. and the good times while I was in the past until Inuyasha turned on me and turned me over to Naraku. the days in Death City the unique things I saw and learned. and both wars in the wizarding war. the last one was finished a few months ago." explained Kagome
She giggled as all those memories flooded her senses. remembering how her father bickered with Kakarot. while Sango and Miroku and herself slapped him for being a pervert. and the times when she had to sneak to see her son. one day she will kill the old hag of a grandmother. Hotohori's brows furrowed, but before he could say anything Kagome sat up. she hugged her knees to her chest and turned to face the mountains and the trees.A tear slid down her cheek, but she was still smiling brightly. She did not know she was crying until Hotohori wiped it away gently.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to-" said Kagome
Kagome had more tears streamed down her face and she tried desperately to stop them. Hotohori couldn't stand the sight of it. Without thinking, he pulled her to him in a comforting hug. Kagome was surprised at first but thanked him as she continued to cry silently. Deciding to try and take her mind off things, he told her a little of his own past.
"I was merely fourteen when I inherited my father's throne and I didn't know what to do. My mother always shielded me from unfriendly eyes and disapproving members of the council. She would tell me what I needed to do. I lived in her shadow until the day she died. I became dependent on my courtiers and advisers. I did not know anything about ruling an empire and I was lonely. I never had any friends at all. I wanted to find the shikon miko that I would be less lonely in her presence."said Hotohori
By this time, Kagome stopped crying and thought about what he just told her. Again he surprised her by telling her so much about him. For some reason, it made it her happy. she nuzzled her face into his chest and inhealed his natrual scent. Unknown to them, three figures watched from the trees behind them.
"Let me at him! I'm gonna kill him for this!" growled Nuriko
Nuriko as she tried to release herself from Tamahome's hold. Tamahome only gripped her tighter. hell he was jealous as well he was the only one who listened to the cnversation on the way here and knew that the two where indeed together.
"That's exactly why I won't let go. Besides, don't you agree that they look sweet? I don't wanna let you ruin it!" lectured Tamahome
Miaka giggled at the whole scene before her. she knew kagome looked happy for once. and now she had someone for her now. even though she didn't know where her second mate was. She had prayed that Nuriko would join her, and was relieved when she did. She and Tamahome were still uneasy around each other. It was nearly suffocating! Miaka was a little thankful that he seemed to loosen up while they were eaves-dropping.
"He's right, Nuriko. And I don't think you should." lectured Miaka
Nuriko's struggling only worsened and it made the branch they were kneeling on brake, making them fall to the ground. Kagome and Hotohori heard the noise behind them and jumped up. They were prepared to fight whatever it was, but they did not expect to see Nuriko going haywire and a mischievously smiling Tamahome and a giddy Miaka all covered in twigs and leaves. Lowering their fighting stances, both of them waited for an explanation.
"Hehehe, don't mind us. We were just passing through. Hehehe." chirped Tamahome
He tried to drag Nuriko away from the couple while sending knowing glances towards Kagome. The girl, from her experiences with Miroku and a few death eaters. knew what they meant and clenched her fist to emphasize her threat. She immediately flared her energy and sent death glares towards the boy. Tamahome *gulped* and ran for his life, dragging a screaming Nuriko behind him.
"Let me at him! Let me at him! Damnit, Tamahome, let me go!" growled Tamahome
Nuriko's screams of protest died away as Tamahome continued to flee for his life. Hotohori watched in amusement and put wrapped his arms around his Kagome so she wouldn't kill them.
"I think we should cover some more ground before night fall." ordered Hotohori
Miaka went to go and find Tamahome. when she did Kagome slapped him in the head after she took her anger out on him for his pervertedness. and they all went off to see what they could cover for the night.
Meanwhile later that night.
Kagome setted up the capsule house for the night. Hotohori. Nuriko and Tamahome was amazed. she and Hotohori took the master bedroom of the capsule home. while Nuriko had her own. along with Tamahome and Miaka had their own rooms. Miaka, on the other hand, was wide awake. Looking around and not seeing anybody to talk to, she decided to take a walk somewhere to cool her head. After a few minutes she found herself kneeling beside a tree with her head resting on its trunk. She should've listened to Kagome when she told her not to run. She was sweating greatly and her breathing was hard and it made her throat go dry.
"Psst! Miaka!" whispered Nuriko
Miaka jumped three feet high with a shriek that hurt Nuriko's ears she had to cover her poor ears. When Miaka came down, she glared at Nuriko she thought her father and brothers where bad.
"Quiet down, I'm here to help you. There's this spring filled with fresh water and it's said to heal all illnesses. You better go take a dip and see if you'll heal because you look like a wreck." whispered Nuriko
Miaka missed the mischievous glint in the older woman's eyes. Jumping to her feet at the thought of a spring, she started walking in the direction Nuriko was pointing. Before disappearing out of sight.
"Well, thanks, Nuriko. Don't tell anyone about this, all right?" chirped Miaka
"I won't. Have fun!" chriped Miaka
After finishing her work here successfully, Nuriko sneaked off to find Tamahome in his room in the house. He was still sleeping snoring with his hand down his pants with a perverted smirk on his face when Nuriko walked up to him and rudely dragged him away from the two slumbering love birsd in their own room. She effectively woke him up and got his angry, but undivided, attention. Bumps were formed on his head due to being dragged across rocky ground.
"Why the hell did you do that! you crazy evil bitch? You could've woken me up like a normal person, damn it!" cried Tamahome
Tamahome had tear's sprung from his eye's as the sting of his bruise's on the head worsened. Nuriko seemed unfazed about his predicament and wave it off not even caring.
"I have a message from Miaka: Meet me near the springs and let's talk face-to-face." said Nuriko
What Nuriko had just said caught Tamahome's attention but he brushed it off and was about leave, but Nuriko won't be having none of it. and she remembered what Kagome had said if he didn't apologize to Maika.
"I won't go. You can tell her that. Anyway, it's not my problem" said Tamahome
Nuriko grabbed the collar of his shirt and hauled him back, he was going to apologize to Miaka if he didn't like it or not. it started to piss her off as if he didn't give a shit what he had said.
"It was your fault Miaka became sick in the first place, you dickless imbecile, making this whole thing your problem. Now face it like a man or have we all mistaken you for a spineless nitwit and grow a pare unless I tell Kagome you refuse and she will make true with her threat in turning you into a femake." growled Nuriko
Meanwhile a little while later
Tamahome was about to explode in her face but Nuriko merely pushed him off the cliff that led straight to the springs. *Grunting*, Tamahome got up and walked in the direction of the springs with an annoyed look on his face.
"Girls' you cant live with them and you cant live with out them. I'm only doing this so that Nuriko and Kagome will stop bugging and beating the crap out of me, as well I don't want to become a woman" thought Tamahome
Tamahome tried to convince himself that this was not about Miaka. Walking on with his arm's folded behind his head, he heard a scream and he knew that scream all to well.
"That was Miaka!" thought Tamahome
Without another thought, he rushed to where he thought she was. Finding her bathing in the water with a fearful expression on her face, he looked at the dark, shadow-covered creature coming closer to her. Not being able to see clearly in the night, he jumped at it. There was a big splash as he collided with the thing in the water. Miaka opened her eyes and frantically looked for Tamahome. She was already panicking when she saw no one emerge from the water. Then, just behind her, that thing came up again and it looked bigger up close. She shrieked and closed her eyes tight.
You can open your eyes now." grumbled Tamahome
Miaka doing as she was told to do, she only saw a soaking wet Tamahome with a hand placed on a floating log. she tilted her head to the side and wondered how she could of thought that was a sea snake.
"This is your sea snake," said Tamahome
Miaka blushed in embarrassment and waved her arms around not even remembering she was giving Tamahome a full view of her breast. Tamahome was only looking down at them while she was ranting.
"Can you blame me for thinking it was going to attack? It was coming at me so fast!" cried Miaka
Miaka finally realizing that she was giving Tamahome full view of her breast's, she immediately turned around and hugged herself tight as she blushed brightly from what he saw on her.
"I didn't see anything!" said Tamahome
"nice rack." thought Tamahome
Tamahome as he, too, faced away from the girl. now he wondered what Kagome's brest looked like even though Hotohori gets to be the lucky dog to know what they looked like. There was an awkward silence after that. They thought it would go on forever…
"I'm sorry!"
"I'm sorry!"
Miaka looked over her shoulder slightly. She didn't think that Tamahome would be apologizing to her. It was her fault for blurting out stuff like that and not even thinking before she did say anything. then again she was her fathers daughter who does the same thing. so did her twin Goten. her elder brothers Gohon and Keisuke the smart ones. Tamahome's back was still turned to her.
"For the last 17 years I only thought about earning more money and I never really thought that a girl would ever say that to me truthfully. It was sudden and I didn't know how to react. That's why I acted so coldly towards you so I was affraid since I wasn't used to something like this. plus yes is do have a sort of obssession for Kagome but thats all. I thought that I was in the way so I decided to avoid you. I thought I was going to hurt myself while doing so. I'm sorry, Miaka," confessed Tamahome
Tamahome turned his to look at her and smiled warmly showing her that he meant everything he said was all true. while Miaka head was tilted to the side wondering if this was real or got out of the water and looked back at her,
"Anyway, I better go back before they think me and you are doing the dirty dance in the woods. See ya!" chirped Tamahome
Tamahome ran back towards camp leaving a shocked and speechless Miaka behind to stare after him. A branch suddenly started to fall along with a disappointed Nuriko.
"Damn! I thought he was going to say it, too. What a bummer," grumbled Nuriko
Nuriko snapped her fingers in annoyance that Tamahome didn't even make a move. and she knew that Tamahome wanted to be with Miaka so why didn't he have the balls to say it. Miaka stared at her friend before realizing that she planned this!
"Nuriko... You set me up! How could you!" growled Miaka
Miaka jumped out of the water and started to shake Nuriko. After a good amount of shaking, Miaka saw something disturbing. She looked at her friend closer and blinked a few times until it finally set in.
"YOU HAVE NO BOOBIES! YOUR A DUDE!" screamed Miaka
Miaka backed away from Nuriko at top speed while having a shacky finger pointing at Nuriko. True enough, there were no breasts, only a man's chest. The cross dresser only laughed,
"Oh dear oh my, guess I've been found out." chirped Nuriko
Nuriko only shrugged while Miaka finally snapped back to to earth and got dressed and went backk to camp as if there was nothing else she wanted to say to Nuriko ight now.
Meanwhile the next day
The group wondered through the forest. Hotohori and Kagome had a peaceful night and both were well-rested. Miaka walked ahead of them in a cheerful manner, but was wary about a cross dresser. Tamahome was right behind her, walking his horse like the others. Nuriko's attention was focused mainly on kagome. All in all, everything seemed to have gone back to normal. Kagome noted the lack of tension in the air and it brightened her mood even more, but of course, it did not last long. The part of the forest they were walking through seemed off. It was as if something bad was going to happen any minute. Dismissing the thought, the small group continued on their way.
"Miaka! Don't wander off!" shouted Tamahome
What Tamahome said catching everyone's attention. Kagome immediately gave the reigns of her horse to Hotohori and without a word, rushed after her friend. The Emperor tried to stop her, but she completely ignored him. Soon, both priestesses disappeared into the growing fog. they started to look around for Kagome and Miaka.
Meanwhile with Miaka
Miaka smelled food, and not only food, but her favorite food from her world that her mother and aunt bulma makes and mrs weasley. Delighted and hungry, she ran towards the source of the smell until she across a table filled with her favorite meals. Without hesitation, she ran towards it, not noticing that she had entered a different world altogether.
"Ooh! My favorites! This must be my lucky day!" cheered miaka
Everything seemed fine to the girl, but that is because the only thing she was so focused on the food. She didn't notice the drastic change in scenery. She didn't notice the dark aura inside it. She didn't notice that mirrors were suddenly surrounding her. She didn't notice anything at all. Not even the figure of a very familiar person approaching her. That is until that person spoke.
"You're so greedy, Miaka. I'm really ashamed of myself."
It sounded eerily like her. Turning to face that person, Miaka could not believe her eyes. It was her only…different as if she was cloned into a evil person and she was standing there before her.
"You're so pathetic, I'm actually disgusted being you,"
her clone laughed evilly at Miaka's stunned she had her head tilted to the side in confusion at what was going on. it seemed that she had a clone of herself and never knew about it.
Meanwhile with Kagome
Kagome ran frantically to find Miaka. but the miaka was nowhere to be seen. About to change her direction and start again, something red caught her eye. There it was again. And again. And again!
'Wait! I know that shade of red all too well...' thought Kagome
kagome's eyes went wide there before her was. naraku, voldemort, frieza, cell. inuyasha. along with kikyoua her eyes went wide wondering if this was some sort of sick joke that someone had set up for figures began snickering and circling her ominously. Tears began to spill from her eyes as they gave her bitter stares. Clutching her head, Kagome she could finish her thought, Kagome was knocked down. Groaning, she shook her head and looked over her shoulder to see Inuyasha scowling menacingly down at her
"Long time no see, my whore," hissed Inuyasha
Suddenly, there was another figure in the clearing, one that made Kagome's blood freeze when naraku ran his hand down her face and kissed her. while not even noticing this was not even real.
to be continued
