Chapter 27- Ready for my gift
Her body was chained, her eyes were closed. She was no longer in a place she called home and she was no longer with someone she trusted. Her heart had been broken again and this time she didn't have the strength to fight it. Kagome looked up only to be surprised at what she saw. Kikiyo, Midoriko and the demons that had helped her were currently surrounded by a dark cloud of poison. Kikiyo turned to Kagome and said, "Help us…don't just give up. You were meant to face this. You were born to protect."
"No…just stop it….leave them alone!" Kagome yelled as she began to glow in a pink color. 'I haven't used this power…not since I stopped…wait they're alive…I have them again and I will not lose them.'
"Hurry." The demons growled.
"What's wrong with her? Is it killing her?" a worried Riku asked as he tried to get the fever she had to go down.
"No, the dragon miko just doesn't know how to react to the binding. Good job Riku." Ken was heard as he entered the room.
"What are we going to do now? You told me that Kagome would come to no harm. How are you going to keep your promise?" Riku asked as he turned his back on them to cover up Kagome's sleeping form.
"Riku…I will keep my promise, I will make sure that no harm shall come to this girl." Ken spoke. "Now, Tsubaki…go and make sure that we are not found. Tell V to be ready for our guest."
"Yes master Ken." Tsubaki replied before she left the room.
"I want to stay at her side…I want to protect her." Riku said.
"I understand but you have to go and help V. She cannot fight alone." Ken replied.
"I understand." Riku said before he left.
Once Riku was out of the room, Ken reached for Kagome only to be thrown across the room and pinned to the wall. He opened his eyes and was surprise at what he saw. The shikon jewel was now visible and was glowing a bright pink color. 'Stupid wench…she still has this much power in her sleeping state and she is under the protection of the very jewel that she had protect for so long.' He thought as he began to break free. "It would seem that I will have to kill you. No matter, one as great as I does not need a mate." He growled before he walked out of the room to leave the powerful miko to herself.
"How dare you try to trick me? Let my true brother out." Sesshomaru growled as he got ready to fight.
"What the hell are you talking about you baka. I thought I told you…wait. Kagome, she's…they got her." Inuyasha growled as he got ready to leave.
"Inuyasha…you are not going out like that…get control over yourself." Rin hissed as she walked in with a very worried and pissed off Sango and a calm Miroku.
"Good, get your weapons…we need to go and get Kagome." Inuyasha said as he got a light grip on Tetsusiga before it transformed for him.
"Shit…get everyone out of the house." Sango was heard.
"What the hell is wrong with all of you?! I'm me, not some reckless demon!" Inuyasha growled as the Tetsusiga grew a layer of crystal.
"Here, just see for yourself." Miroku said as he handed Inuyasha a mirror.
"I would seem that she had finally come to terms with her heart and her power. Now all you need to do brother is mark her." Sesshomaru was heard.
Inuyasha looked at himself in shock. When had he been able to use his pure demon blood without losing control? 'Since our mate was taken against her will by a bastard that she trusted.' A small voice was heard.
"Inuyasha? Do you even know how to find her?" Sango asked as Kirara transformed.
"Yeah, get Shippo…he's going to make his Oka proud." Inuyasha growled as he placed Tetsusiga back in its sheath.
"Will you need our help?" Rin asked as she appeared with both the Tenseiga and the Tokijin.
She stood alone; now that she had finally finished the last evil of the jewel off. Once she was sure that the dark cloud would no longer appear, Kagome fell to her knees and began to cry. As Kikiyo, Midoriko and the demons approached her; Kagome looked up at them and asked, "Why? Why do I have to be left so broken?"
"Kagome, you have great power deep within your soul. You are the strongest miko alive." Kikiyo answered.
"However the only way for you to end all of this is for your soul to be broken." Midoriku added.
"You have to be torn so that the demon power that we bestowed on you can take over and kill this threat." The demons that had granted her wish stated.
"No, I know that I can control this…you all should have trust in me. I will do anything to protect the ones I love. Give me the power and I will show you all that I can control this." Kagome hissed as she stood up.
"Kagome…you…you can't. Your emotions is what is holding you back." Kikiyo answered as she approached her.
"You can kill yourself should you not allow us to do this." Midoriko added.
"Then I will have to take that chance. I will not watch my loved ones get hurt. I will control my true power. Not the other way around." Kagome hissed as she slowly began to drain them. 'I won't let this happen…I will not sit back and just let myself run around like a wild animal.'
"As you wish. You will have complete control your new demon, miko and elemental powers. Should you fail your soul will be ours, to devour." the demons growled as they began to fade away.
"I will overcome this…even if it cost me my life." Kagome whispered as she began to fade away. She knew that the next she would open her eyes that she would be in a room, chained to the wall where they held her captive. 'Only this time, they will not be able to keep me still.'
As she opened her eyes she could feel all of her senses at high alert. She knew where she was now and she knew that she was still chained. Just as she was about to lift her head up she heard his unmistakable voice say, "I'm glad that your alright."
"I'm sure you are…I suggest you leave before I get free before I kill you." Kagome hissed in her regular voice as she looked up to face Riku.
"Kagome, I know that you are mad at me but this is for the best. Master Ken has found a way to get rid of your powers and the jewel while keeping you alive." Riku stated in a hopeful voice.
"You liar…you are just like him. And I want nothing to do with you." Kagome hissed as she began to press his bottoms.
Riku suddenly appeared right in her face, mere inches from their lips meeting. Before she could say anything, Riku let out a dangerous growl and said, "I am nothing like he unfaithful, half demon that you love."
"You are just like him…now get away from me." Kagome hissed out as her chains slowly began to loosen.
"Riku…get away from her." Ken was heard as he threw a knife at Kagome's hand.
However he was too late, as the weapon was stopped in mid air, Riku fell over in pain. Kagome did not but smile. She knew that she had to be a cold hearted bitch but she didn't think that it would feel so good to kill off the people that hurt your hurt. Once she was free, Kagome looked down at Riku as he slowly stood up straight. "I told you to leave. It is your own fault for hearting me." Kagome hissed before she slammed him against a wall of ice that had appeared out of thin air.
"What is the meaning of this? The potion we gave you should still be in effect." Ken asked as she took a couple of steps back.
"Truth be told Ken…" Kagome spoke as she closed her eyes, "…I am not like the other dragon miko's you have killed over the years. I am also the miko of protection."
"Master Ken, hurry get out of here." Tsubaki was heard as she entered the room with two more potions.
"Your master is a fake." Kagome replied as Riku moved forward to attack Tsubaki.
"Riku! Riku what is wrong with you." Tsubaki hissed as she defended herself with her barrier and counter attacks.
"He is under my control…after all…all bodies have some water in them." Kagome answered as she kept her eyes locked on Ken. "Now, why don't you let me leave and I'll let you live."
"We cannot let you leave, not when a demon that is in such of great power plans to use you." Ken answered as he pulled out a weapon that was similar to the one Kohaku once used.
"You are the demon, I can easily see right through your spell. Now move." Kagome whispered as she turned to see Tsubaki knock Riku out.
"Master Ken…Master Ken you have to leave before she attacks you." Tsubaki yelled as she quickly got in between the two.
"Tsubaki…you fool." Ken growled as he began to transform into his true self. "She is right, I am the demon that is after the dragon miko and the jewel of four souls. However I now want her as my mate."
"Mate? Ha! I have no intentions of becoming your mate. I have someone that was meant to be my mate and I will not let him down." Kagome hissed as she was now surrounded in flames as she began to go through a transformation of her own. Kagome's hair was no longer the midnight blue color it once was. It was not a black color with silver tips and her eyes were the same blaze of gold that she loved about her hanyou.
"You…but…master Ken?" Tsubaki asked as she began to back away.
"You fool, you will die and I will finally get the power I need to make demons the true owners of these lands." Ken growled as he advanced on Tsubaki.
"No…no…Ken…I loved you…I helped you." Tsubaki whispered as she began to go into shock.
'She may have helped catch me but she does not need to die…Riku…you…you deserved to die for what you did to me. No one will ever break my heart again.' Kagome thought as she easily pleased a barrier around Tsubaki and said, "I suggest you get out of here unless you want to die."
"You protected me?" Tsubaki asked.
"You were tricked and manipulated, Riku on the other had broke me and deserved to die." Kagome growled as she kept her eyes locked on Ken.
"You foolish girl, do you honestly think that you are ready to become who you were destined to become." Ken growled as his claws grew in length.
"Yes, I may not know how to fight but I have the power to stop you. Even if it will cost me my life." Kagome growled as she stood alongside Tsubaki.
"We'll see about that." Ken growled as he stepped back and allowed the demons he had promised a piece of his power step forward to fight.
"You are just as big a coward Naraku was." Kagome hissed as she formed a bow of ice and arrows of fire.
"I am nothing like Naraku! Kill Tsubaki and bring me that miko dead or alive. I only need her blood." Ken roared as he allowed his anger to grow.
"Are you sure that Oka is here? This is a weird please to be at." Shippo asked as he stared at the ice cream factory.
"She's in here…I know it." Inuyasha growled as he drew the Tetsusiga before he ran in.
"He hasn't changed." Miroku said.
"Yeah, I just hope he will be able to live with Kagome's decision." Sango whispered before she ran after Inuyasha.
Miroku and Shippo soon followed after the two as they got ready to for the final battle. The three knew that there would be a chance that they would not recognize Kagome but they didn't care. They would save her and protect her with their life just as she had done in the past for them.
