Disclaimer: (this counts for the whole story thus far) I.Don't.Own. Inu-Yasha !!!! OKAY!!! I don't own the cute little puppy ears! Meh, oh well, ciao and enjoy the chapter!
P.S.: All you rapid SessKik fans will love this chapter. You too, some of you that liked episode 151 of Inuyasha. Oh yeah, sorry bout Katai's late incoming... .
Kikyo sighed contentedly as the air fanned out her hair in a lush, silky black wave. And actually laughed as she saw a rabbit chase a butterfly. Why she laughed she'd never know, maybe the contentness she felt out here at Tokyo Wild Animal Preserve was needing a release.
Sesshomaru had brought her here (he claimed she needed fresh air) and was now walking by her side, looking rather amused by Kikyo's anatics. He grabbed her hand and drug her closer to him as she let out an involuntary yelp of surprise. Sesshomaru smirked, she still wasn't used to him sneaking up on her. This was quite amusing.
They'd been walking nearly all morning, just enjoying the serenity of the area. No cars, no fumes, and no loud noises made this area heaven for the daiyoukai. As for the miko, she was too, enjoying the rare getaway from the overcrowded area's of the city. And just enjoying each others company was enough for the unlikely pair.
"Do you enjoy it out here?" Sesshomaru asked tentively, as Kikyo's hand tightened slightly around his and she smiled up at him. He took that as a yes. The taiyoukai looked down at the miko who had just buried her head into his shoulder and wrapped her free arm around his.
They reached a cliff area, a hangover a large and rather fast river below it. But, from the cliff was a magnificient view. Kikyo gasped as she slowly broke away from Sesshomaru and strolled over to take the view head on. She wasn't expecting what she saw, and turned to see one of Sesshomaru's rare smiles in place. He quietly joined her and he too, looked the view.
A lush green field full of oriental lillies was just on the banks of the river, and right beyond the feild of lillies was a lush green forest and purple shrouded moutais in the background set up agaisnt the sunset. Two larks flew up in the air and past the couple as Kikyo smiled at Sesshomaru. They turned to each other and Kikyo buried herself in a tight embrace.
"Thank you..." Kikyo said in a muffled whisper, as Sesshomaru's usaully indifferent face changed to pure surprise and inwardly Kikyo smiled. "...for bringing me here..." and for sharing those expressions, she thought as she looked up to him with a small, almost hidden smile. Wait...in that posistion...they were alone right now, too...and agaisnt the backdrop of the setting sun...
Kikyo hardly knew what was happening untill she felt his warm lips on hers and his arms pulling her closer as the small passonite kiss grew. Teeth collided with sharp ivories and slick muscles fought a desprate battle for dominance as bodies banged together closer than should be allowed.
Slowly, they pulled away; with Sesshomaru looking a little ashamed. Kikyo was breathless, they'd barely been going out two weeks and they'd jsut made out excessively. Kikyo throughly enjoyed it; but she didn't understand why her boyfriend looked so ashamed. And why was he blushing.(that was the most romantic any sitiuation ever)
Stupid dirty thoughts, Sesshomaru thought as a tent began to form in his pants; a light blush took over his face as his girlfriend looked up at him. Sesshomaru regained his stature and looked down at his girlfriend with the impassive face once more as she sat down on the grass.
"I'll be right back," Sesshomaru informed her as he went to relieve himself of both little Sess and his dirty thoughts; leaving a very confused Kikyo behind. Kikyo waited untill he was gone and then started to laugh as she fell on her back and pulled out some rouge as she stood up. Prepared to put it on...
"SAKON TESSOU!" The war cry was heard and Kikyo stiffened, untill she felt the attack rip through her flesh, blood flying from the wound as she crashed to the ground and the rouge went flying. Kikyo grunted in pain at the impact and the wound in her shoulder. Her breathing laboured breathig increased. "Humph. You look too much like my girlfriend, huh, Kikyo?"
"Inu..yasha?" Kikyo grunted, as she looked up to see her ex boyfriend flexing his blood soaked claws and his other hand holding the..."Shikon no Tama? B...but Kagome..." Kikyo looked into Inuyasha's malicous face. It couldn't be Inuyasha! Inuyasha would never hurt Kagome, much less anyone who didn't deserve it!
"She was easier than you were, Kikyo..." Inuyasha smirked, making Kikyo want to cry out as his foot dug into her back. He briefly looked away and Kikyo took her chance to stagger to her feet. Inuyasha looked back at her, smirking and began to corner her to the edge of the cliff.
"Naraku..." Kikyo figured it out, and whispered it as a mere breath in the air, this had to be Naraku! He and his shape changing ablities! Inuyasha looked surprised, or was it Naraku? But he merely smirked and began to come closer to her, untill they were toe to toe.
"But, Kikyo, no one will ever know who I really am..." Inuyasha/Naraku hissed in her ear. And just as Sesshomaru came on the scene, Inuyasha/Naraku shoved Kikyo off the edge of the cliff. Kikyo's mind couldn't move as she fell 50 feet to the swirling waters below; as she saw Naraku's malaxious face swirl into her vision.
"Inuyasha...why?" Sesshomaru muttered as his brother dissapeared. His face hidden by his bangs, he recalled the moment he saw his brother push Kikyo into the watery depths below. That face, as for a second, had seemed somewhat like Naraku's...it made him want to wonder. His fist was clenched so hard it drew blood, Sesshomaru lept up and down the cliff, using his youkai speed and prowress to fuel his descent.
He saw Kikyo hit the water and jumped down after her and into the water. Ignoring the fact that he was underwater and had only so much time, he looked for Kikyo. Finally, he saw her and grabbed her around the waist, realizing he was running out of breath. Kicking off the bottom, he struggled through the water untill he reached the air.
Gasping furiously, he swam to shore and laid Kikyo in the feild of oriental lillies and laid her down. She wasn't breathing and that wound on her shoulder had only bled even worse. The youkai's knowledge on medical healing was very limited, his blood usaully healed him fine. That was it! Slitting his wrist, Sesshomaru let a few drops fall into his palm, hld Kikyo's head up and began to pour the blood down her throat.
It was going to be a long day.
"Inuyasha would never do such a thing! You gotta be lying!" Shippo snapped, covering his ears as Kikyo finally managed to tell her tale. They'd gathered at Sesshomaru's house after he'd called them, saying it was very important. No one had noticed that Kagome was being unusally silent untill Kikyo got to the Shikon no Tama.
"Kagome?" Sango asked softly, putting her hands on her best friend's shoulders as the girl immeadiently stiffened as she began to silently cry. Of course Sango didn't hear or see her crying, she felt Kagome's shoulders shake a little bit and removed her hands.
Kerrai concentrated on increasing her angelic power, being half an angel, the young tsukibegan to fucus her engery and tried in vain to listen to Naraku and Hojo's conversation. Yet, her concentration kept wandering forcing the half-breed to struggle to remain aloof. Finally, she'd conjured up enough ki and began to chant some type of spell.
"Yami, awai, tsuchi, mizu, kon, kaji, tenkuu, kaze, ikazuchi, koori, suki. Yami, awai, tsuchi, mizu, kon," She began again; chanting the elements of the world as a heavenly yellow arua began to formulate around her. The elements of which names she chanted are the ones which mattered to the Tsuki (Angelic Moon Beings). Of that of which was darkness, light, earth, water, soul, fire, air, wind, thunder, ice, and love. "- suki. RELEASE KI!"
Immeadiently, her body went rigid as her mind recorded the conversation that she was eavesdropping on. Not noticing that a girl with pink striped hair was edging closer to listen to her mutterings. Kanna Yumi Shingato was merely curious; if not intimidated by the half-angels anatics. The half-breed began to awake, so quietly as she could, Kanna snuck back to her hding place and watched as Hojo left the scene and Naraku say a mere five words (that made Kanna shiver) aloud.
"Kerrai...I know you're there!"
Elizibeth heard a battle raging on close by. Humph! Three days in Japan and she allready could hear a fight raging on; it didn't help that tommorow was her first day of school. Curiousity consumed her and she began walking towards the sound of battle, there was sounds of distress.
Cautiously, she peeked around the corner of the building and barely could stomach of what she saw. On the ground lay that Kerrai girl with a gun pointed at her head. The gun was held by Naraku, who had a triumphant smirk all over his face. One thing Elizibeth thought odd about the sitiuation was that this Kerrai girl wasn't begging for her life, she was smiling in a tired way.
"Ya finnally got me...Naraku." Kerrai sighed as Naraku looked triumphantly down at her.
"Gonna beg, yet, Kerrai?"
"Never."
"Fine...goodbye." And with that, Naraku pulled the trigger and Elizibehs eyes widened. She'd just watched a murder! She was a now a witness and knew what the murder looked like and what his name was! It meant that the murder, Naraku, could never know what she knew or she would be next!
Elizibeth backed away from the building and began to run home when she ran headfast into that girl, the one with the pink in her hair, from the airport.
Kanna didn't know what to do, she was in a daze. The half-breed had been murdered and for some odd reason, Kanna was bothered by that. Maybe it was because she'd watched and had done nothing? Yes, the half-angel had fought valiently, but had died since Naraku enlisted the help of his younger sister Kanna. Kanna Yumi Shingato hated that she and Kanna Onigumo shared the same name.
Yes, Kanna Onigumo was rather silent and emotionless, much like Kanna Shingato; but there was one difference. Kanna Shingato had her soul, a soul; while Kanna Onigumo didn't. It was actually quite scary, but the youkai (Kanna) pushed that thought aside. That was when she bumped into the american; and without looking up she made a simple comment that sent shivers down the american's spine.
"You saw the murder too? Didn't you?"
Kaitai Mikiatau, was a pretty woman in her late 30's; her blond hair pulled back into a messy bun and her hazel eyes were flaming with anger. Her flight to Tokyo had been delayed a week, and when she gets to Tokyo, she has to cover the case of Yetsu Kankuta's and another girls murders! Both of them had a bullet in the head and the reporter wasn't so sure of how, but she knew that they'd been murdered by the same person.
Huffing angirly, the reporter began to observe the crime scene with a critical eye. There'd been more than one murderer...she knew that much. There'd also been two other people there...two witnessess...ugh. Great, another one of her visions that she had been cursed with at birth.
Katai saw clearing a hantsuki with a gun at her head, the one who was holding the gun...his image was unclear and blury. There was a girl...a human and a youkai, both girls, watching the scene. The youkai was shocked when she saw the man kill the hantsuki. And the youkai's pink and black tendrils fanned out behind her as she ran.
The human had light brown hair the flew out around her as she ran right into the youkai. Right there, Katai's vision enabled her to see the faces of the girls as the youkai stated rather clearly and bluntly "You saw the murder too? Didn't you?" Then Katai's visoin went black, and she met the ground.
Ayame's eyes were popping out of thier sockets. The nurse HAD to be lying; cuase she, Ayame, wasn't ready to belive it! For one, Ayame knew ZERO about the topic that they'd been discussing. Two, the ookami didn't know how her boyfriend would react. Three, she, Ayame didn't know how to be a mother.
Kagome stared out the window, deep in hurt and thought. She'd fled to the Hikaku for some privacy, if she was in her room; her little brother would surely find her out. It was actually quite depressing to find that all she had left in her life rather than her family and friends, was herself. She refused to accept Inuyasha had attacked Kikyo and stole the Shikon no Tama from her...it just wasn't...Inuyasha like...
Kagome let out another wail and fell on her back, sobbing and clutching her sheets. Curled up in fetus posistion, Kagome grabbed at the diary, reading all of her lists and entries she'd put in the trusty little blue book. It held all of her memories. All of her joys, all of her sorrows, and all of her heartbreak.
Had all of the Ten Reasons to lists all of her dairy entries and even the one on that day when...Inuyasha had first kissed her on the lips...when they'd shared the seven minutes of heaven in the closet...all those feelings that he directed towards her couldn't be fake...they just couldn't! Even though he'd left her and stole her Shikon no Tama...
She rounded into another fresh round of tears, remembering the feeling of Inuyasha's arms around her and watching the sunset together...him and Miroku in Victoria's secret after Rin had lured them there; Miroku looking delighted and Inuyasha looking very embarrassed. Or that time when she, Shippo, Miroku, Sango, Rin, Sesshomaru, Ayame, and Kikyo played that trick on him and he ended up kissing Koga! That had been so funny! Even though they'd had to run for thier lives later on from two VERY pissed youkai.
Kagome let out a half laugh half sob as she remembered that. When Inuyasha had caught her she'd been 'punished', he'd kissed her so hard that when they broke apart; they saw Miroku looking at them with raised eyebrows saying "If thats the punishment, I wanna see the reward!" Kagome laughed again, but the laugh sounded stranged to her own ears as she finally fell into the confines of sleep. Not knowing that an amber/golden eyed, silver haired hanyou had been watching her with drooping ears.
Naraku laughed, Inuyasha had fallen right into his trap! Now everyone believed him to be a traitor of flesh and blood! He, Naraku, was very pleased. Without Inuyasha in the way, all he had to deal with was Sesshomaru, Takedishi, Kitsune, Houshi, maybe Taijiya, Ookami, and Hyroku. His only real targets among the ten friends was Kikyo Midoriko and Kagome Higurashi!
And since Inuyasha had fallen for his trap, there was nothing stopping him from finally claiming his prize! The Shikon no Tama that Kagome or Kikyo possessed would grant him limetless power! Of course, Inuyasha had left the Shikon no Tama with Kagome, Naraku thought, come on, what would that worthless mutt want with it anyway?
Besides, it wasn't like Inuyasha would return, the thought was nigh impossible! For one, trhe mutts pride would force him to not come back. And if Inuyasha felt bad fpr leaving Kagome, he would remember what he, Naraku, had said to that Hojo. Kukuku...he'd known Inuyasha had been eavesdropping, that was why he'd said it!
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter, I'm not feeling so hot right now... -sighs- i'm not getting half as much feedback as I'd like which is really depressing. I've been trying so hard to maintain my interest..but sice my last check up this story is on 20 alerts and 18 favorites... and over half of the people on there hasn't left a single thought! So, I'll say thanks AGAIN to those (anon or not!) who ARE kind enough to leave a passing thought:
I dunno if there will be a chapter 14 (even though the story is nearing its end... yup, three-five more chapters!!!) Katai, Kanna, and Elizibeth won't show up again untill at least chapter 16...if I make it that far...
Preview for Chapter 14 (if there is gonna be one!!!): Return
Inuyasha is found and caught! Prepare for the Kotodama no Nenju (Beads of Subjugation) and Tessaiga and Tenseiga!(I love those swords, I have to have them in the story!!!) Will he reveal WHY he left? or is the reason too horrid? Inuyasha fights to regain everyone's trust.
