Summary- Kagome is kidnapped by the band of seven because of her power to sense the jewel shards. With Koga and Inuyasha searching for her, can she really fall in love?
Warnings- Mild Language; Heavy description of Violence
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
"Umm, where are we going?" Kagome asked, seriously wondering what they had been talking about earlier.
Bankotsu stopped on the top of a cliff. "There." He pointed below the cliff.
A small village was at the bottom of the cliff.
"What are you-" Kagome started to say, but stopped when she saw the village.
"Oh. Why do we need to go there?" She asked curiously.
She thought about it for a second when he didn't answer. 'Why would they go to a village? We have more than enough supplies back at the castle. And why in the world would Jakotsu and the others be so happy about going to get some clothes? Wait…… Oh, no!' Her face turned slightly sad and disturbed at the thought.
Bankotsu smiled at her. "You wouldn't!" She challenged.
"Oh, but we would! Come on guys, let's get going!" He said and punched an arm in the air encouragingly.
They hollered in agreement and charged towards the village, smiles plastered on their faces. Bankotsu picked up Kagome by putting an arm around her waist, and ran to follow his brothers.
"Put me down! I don't want to go with you when you're hurting innocent people! Take me back!" She said, struggling in his hold as he ran. She honestly wondered how he could hold that big ass sword and her each with only one hand. He must have been really strong.
"If I did that then someone would have to go watch you. My brothers and I deserve some fun, and I'm not taking it away from any of them." He answered, finally putting her on the ground.
Once they got there, the villagers started screaming and running into their huts for cover. Others just ran around the village, not sure what to do. The kids clung to there mothers' sides, crying. The fathers mustered up courage and grabbed their spears and bows and attempted at attacking them. 'A bad idea' Kagome thought.
"I can't believe you all! Honestly, taking pleasure killing people?! That's just sick!" She said, truly angered by what they thought was 'fun'. "I really think you should take me back, it is NOT a good idea for me to be here." She warned.
Bankotsu just laughed and joined his brothers.
Each had there own way of killing the helpless villagers, and each seemed to prefer a certain type. Suikotsu used his sharp claws and practically scratched them to death. Jakotsu used his Jakotsutou, of course, cutting people in tons of pieces. Renkotsu just enjoyed blowing fire all over people and burning them to death. Mukotsu used his poisons, watching people's bodies disintegrate from the acid. And Bankotsu, he used Banryu. He just cut their heads clean off.
As soon as Bankotsu started decapitating people… well she just plain forgot what happened after that.
Kagome had fainted when a random head rolled over by her feet. She wasn't sure what was happening, there was just so much blood… and screaming. She was actually happy she had passed out. It's not like she wanted to see all that, it was all just so gruesome!
Bankotsu looked around, trying to find her. He found her on the ground, passed out.
At first he thought she was dead, and cursed under his breath.
He bent down by her and put his fingers on her neck. He breathed a sigh of relief. She had a pulse. He picked her up bridal style and carried her into a near village hut, setting her on the mat.
He set Banryu against the wall and went over to her. He got down on one knee and examined her body. She didn't seem to have any bruises, scratches, blood, nothing.
He shook her gently, trying to wake her up. She didn't budge. Her growled in frustration.
He finally slapped her across the face. That seemed to work.
She rubbed her red cheek, and slowly sat up, opening her eyes. Then she realized she had just been hit across the face.
"What the hell was that for?!" She yelled at him.
"You wouldn't get up." He said casually.
She growled, but decided to drop it. "What happened?" She asked in the same tone.
"Well, you passed out, I think, I'm not really sure, just found you laying on the ground unconscious." He said.
Kagome thought about what could have happened to make her pass out. Then the memories flooded back.
She stood up and ran to the nearest trash can, or what she thought was a trash can, and through up. At first he had thought she was trying to run away, but that ceased when he heard her gagging.
She stood up and wiped off her mouth to find him standing up, Banryu on his shoulder.
"I'm going back out there. You are going to stay in here. If your not here when I come back, I swear I will hunt you down and chop off your head. Understood?" He asked.
"Yes." She groaned and rolled her eyes, sitting back on the mat.
He ran out of the hut and continued killing people. Kagome covered her ears with her hands and closed her eyes. All she needed was to be sick with them. That did not equal good things.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
Inuyasha had to pause and think about this question. This little question was the one that he hoped he would never be asked. The only question he didn't have the answer to. 'Who did he love?'
"Inuyasha, answer me" Kikyo demanded, anger filling her usually emotionless voice.
"I… I don't know." Inuyasha said hesitantly.
"Well, that's not really the answer I wanted to hear. But, not unexpected… Inuyasha." Kikyo said, looking away.
"Kikyo, wait, I mean I love you. But…" Inuyasha said, his voice trailing off.
"But you also love my reincarnation, correct?" She answered for him.
He nodded. "I can't help it Kikyo. I can't… change my feelings. But I really cannot bear for you to leave this world…" Inuyasha said.
"Inuyasha…. I believe that is not your choice to make. My fate is not yours to decide. I will do as I please, and destiny will take me were it may." She said, still not looking him in the eye.
"I know… but Kikyo…" He tried.
"No, Inuyasha. Go, away from here, and find my reincarnation. Just as half my soul lies in her, so does half your heart. When you come to your senses, come to hell. Come to see me, Inuyasha. I will miss you. Now please… let me die in peace." She said, shooing him away with her hand.
Her soul collectors came and lifted her from the area, flying her away into the sky.
Inuyasha stared at her as she flew away, near tears. She was going to die, and there was nothing he could do. Hell, she wouldn't even let him.
"I have to find Kagome. I have to forget about her. I have to find Kagome." He said and darted off into the forest.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
Sango, Miroku, and Shippo rode Kirara, who was now busy sniffing out Inuyasha. Hopefully they would be able to find him.
Miroku suddenly stiffened. "Sango, be on your feet, I sense a demonic aura." He said coldly.
"Don't worry guys, I think its Koga!" Shippo said then sniffed the air again. "But no trace of Kagome." He said sadly.
Kirara lowered to the ground and Koga came bursting out of the foliage.
"Oh, hey Koga did you-" Sango started.
"There's no time for talk! I found the band of Seven! They have Kagome with them. She's still alive, and didn't appear to be hurt. I couldn't take them on by myself. It looks like we need that dog too." He said in a rush.
"Oh, okay! Well, Inuyasha went off on his own to try to find Kagome on his own so we could cover more ground. We'll have to track him down. But there's something I don't get." Sango paused, her face deep in thought. "Why is it that you could smell Kagome and Shichinitai when Inuyasha couldn't?" She asked curiously.
"Ha!" Koga said, folding his arms across his chest pridefully. "Don't you know a wolf has much better senses than a dog, and definitely better than a half-breed." He replied.
Sango shrugged it off and got the poison bottle out. "Here, this has the scent of that poison master on it. That should help out just in case."
Koga sniffed it and then handed it back to her. "Good, now let's go find that worthless mutt." He said and took off leading the way.
Sango nodded and sent Kirara after him.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
Kagome was glad when Bankotsu stepped back into the hut. Well, not necessarily about him coming to get her, but glad it was over.
"Come on, were done." He said and motioned for her to come out.
"I really don't think that's a good idea. I mean unless you want me to start puking." She said, the nausea coming back to her from her morbid memories.
He sighed impatiently. "God woman, why do you have to be so difficult?" He said, obviously aggravated.
He went over to her and grabbed her wrist. "Close your eyes and I'll guide you out of the village." He said, pulling her out with him.
She closed her eyes and followed him the best she could. I mean what else could she do?
Everything was going fine until she stepped on something… round?
She started screaming and jerked away from his hold once she found out what it was. Her eyes flew open and she fell on another body. Or was it… half a body? She shrieked again and started randomly jumping around, freaking out.
He growled and ran over to her. He grabbed her around the waist and pick her up, running up the hill.
"I thought I told you to keep your eyes closed!" He told her angrily once they got back to the others.
"I know but then I tripped over that… head! And it just scared me and oh my god! I can't believe you guys did that to those poor, innocent people! You're so cruel!" She yelled.
Renkotsu and Jakotsu smiled, taking that as a compliment.
"Uhh! God, just kill me now!" She said sarcastically.
"Okay, if that's honestly what you want." Bankotsu said, picking up his Banryu casually.
"No, no, no! I was just kidding! Really, I'm just fine!" She laughed nervously.
"That's what I thought." He said. "Now let's go back to the castle. It's getting dark. And I want to eat. Were going shard hunting again tomorrow."
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
Kikyo laughed evilly in the dark night.
"I will have Inuyasha to myself. That bitch of a reincarnation is going to die, and then Inuyasha will be mine. He is such a fool to believe my lies. As if I would actually die, and leave him behind for my clone." She said to herself.
Oh yes, Kikyo had big plans for the girl.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
A/N: Okay I am sorry about the heavy description of the cruelness of the Shichinitai. But don't worry, they eventually turn out different, but I'm not going to give out anything. And like I said, no fluff right now. It's only their first day together anyway. It's not like they would actually fall in love on the first day. And don't expect things, because I am going to put numerous parts in this story that are probably very unexpected, especially towards the end.. Anyway please review and thanks for reading!
P.S. I'm sorry to say that you shouldn't get used to me updating so quickly. I haven't been in school the past week because of Hurricane Ike and I had a lot of free time but when school starts back on Tuesday, it probably won't be this regularly updated, but I won't quit writing as long as I have some readers. :) -Brookeylynn
