Chapter 13
Naraku sat awake unable to sleep. He looked beside him and saw Chiyo fast asleep snuggled against him. He sighed as he sensed the Inuyasha group walk through his now weak barrier. He got up as carefully as he could so he wouldn't wake Chiyo and put some clothes on.
"If you were trying not to wake me, you failed," Chiyo said not bothering to open her eyes. "Are they here?"
"Yes they are," Naraku said.
"Does that mean I have to get up?" Chiyo asked. Naraku bent down and kissed the side of her head. "That doesn't answer my question."
"No, you can stay," Naraku replied. "If they catch you with me, things could get messy."
"Things are going to get messy with out them knowing I just was in bed with you," she said finally opening her eyes. Naraku smiled.
"If you want to come out, you can," Naraku said. "You made a wonderful point."
"I think I'm going to stay in here," Chiyo said. "I don't want to make things worse than they already are." Naraku nodded and walked out to see Inuyasha and the rest of his group with their weapons at the ready.
"Why have you come Inuyasha?" Naraku asked. "You can't possibly hope to defeat me now."
"Enough of this!" Inuyasha yelled. "You're going down Naraku!"
"How can anyone sleep with all this commotion going on?" Chiyo asked walking out of the castle. Everyone except Naraku looked at her, too shocked to say anything.
"I thought you were going to stay inside," Naraku said with amusement in his voice. "Now you've gone and blown your cover."
"What cover? There was no cover," Chiyo said. Kagome growled and shot an arrow at Chiyo. She dodged it easily and transformed into a wolf. If you want to catch me, use your wolf form, a voice in Kagome's head said. Kagome growled and transformed into a wolf with brown fur. Chiyo bolted off with Kagome close behind.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted, but right now, he had other things to worry about. As he was distracted, Naraku quickly changed his own form.
Chiyo continued to run, knowing exactly where to go. You still back there? Chiyo asked.
You bet I am, Kagome replied. Chiyo leaped off a hill, toward the bone-eaters well. She knew that that is where Kagome came from. Chiyo managed to evade the well easily, but when Kagome came, Chiyo used her head to push Kagome into the well and watched her disappear into it.
And good riddance, she thought.
Kagome didn't know where she was. Her vision was blurry and she felt two arms wrap around her torso. In a flash, she was out of the well and a girl was standing in front of her.
"Get out of that form you dimwit," she commanded. Kagome didn't appreciate the forcefulness of the command, but followed it anyway. In a matter of seconds, she had returned to her human form.
"Wow, that really was Kagome!" a little boy's voice said. As soon as she was able to regain herself, she could see who the two people were. When she saw who the girl was, her eyes grew wide.
"Chiyo?" she asked.
"How's it going Kagome?" Chiyo replied. "Haven't seen you in a few hundred years."
"What are you doing here?" Kagome hissed. "Did you come to kill my family?"
"Of course not dimwit," Chiyo replied. "I came to help you." Kagome looked confused as she stood up. "Look, back there, did I have a child?"
"No," Kagome said. "Why? Are you going to?"
"In a word yes," Chiyo said. "Come on, let's go inside so we can talk." Chiyo, Kagome, and Sota all walked into the house and sat in Kagome's room. "Sota, I appreciate you letting me in, but this really isn't a discussion you should be a part of."
"Aw, come on," Sota complained. "I won't bother you."
"Sota, you should listen to Chiyo," Kagome said. Sota looked at Kagome, and then back to Chiyo. He sighed and walked out of the room. "Now what's this about Chiyo?"
"Have I joined forces with Naraku yet?" Chiyo asked ignoring the question. Kagome nodded and Chiyo sighed.
"I was hoping that I could've talk to you before that happened, but oh well," Chiyo said. "What happened before you came back here?"
"You went out and didn't come back so we went to fight Naraku without you, just to see that you were with Naraku," Kagome explained. Chiyo nodded. "Why ask me all this?"
"Because I have a favor to ask you when you get back to the other era," Chiyo said.
"Oh? And what would that be?" Kagome asked crossing her arms.
"I want you to kill me."
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter, I'm having a bit of a writers block, but I'm getting more ideas as I go. R&R!
