A/N: to InuYashaFreak's question- yes Sango is pregnant, she told Kagome that a few chapters back.

Chapter 10: Naoke's Anger

The sound of two swords hitting one another rang through Kagome's ears as she watched her daughter try to kill her own father.

"Naoke, please stop," she cried.

Naoke did, but only to throw Inuyasha off guard. She quickly raised her blade and skillfully cut through the air, grazing Inuyasha's shoulder in the process. Inuyasha grabbed his shoulder in anger, but he quickly remembered that it was his daughter and that she was under Aoi's control.

Naoke stared at Inuyasha with a frown; all she knew was her mission now. Aoi had turned her into a soulless puppet.

Miroku grabbed a long stick nearby and blocked Aoi's attack with his own staff. No matter his efforts, Miroku finally got knocked aside by the staff. Aoi laughed.

Sango ran up to the bars, "Miroku," she said, hoping he was ok.

"Oh be quiet," Aoi ordered shooting another blast at Sango in anger. Sango remained where she was this time, but doubled over in pain. Aoi let out a short scream in anger, and then sneered at Sango.

Miroku noticed this as he pulled himself up, 'Is Aoi really…?'

Aoi quickly recovered, though furious. She raised the staff and yelled, "Let's have some real fun."

The hut completely disappeared along with everything in it, including the bars dividing Sango from Miroku and Aoi.

Miroku ran to Sango's side and helped her up, "Are you ok?" he asked. Sango simply nodded her answer.

Both looked up to see Aoi floating in front of them.

"This party is just getting started," she smiled evilly as she raised Miroku's staff.

Two holes formed beneath Miroku and Sango. They fell through them, barely having time to scream before the holes disappeared with them.

Aoi chuckled before escaping through a portal.

Miroku and Sango dropped from nowhere and landed a little ways from Inuyasha and Naoke who were still blocking back and forth.

"Miroku, Sango," Kagome called both relieved and worried.

Aoi appeared from her portal close to where the other two landed as they got up.

"Naoke dear, I need you to kill your mommy, you know she did lie to you over and over again, how does that make you feel?" Aoi said. Naoke stopped and turned to face her mother.

"Shut up," Inuyasha growled as he glared at Aoi. Aoi just let out another satisfied chuckle.

For a moment Kagome could see the real Naoke in her eyes though she was starring at her with rage. But Kagome could also see pain in her light colored eyes. Then Naoke's eyes glazed over and she ran towards Kagome, her sword held high.

Kagome gasped.

"NO!" Inuyasha yelled starting to stop Naoke. With a wave of Miroku's staff, vines escaped underground and wrapped themselves around Inuyasha's wrists and feet, stopping him.

More vines rose and did the same around Miroku and Sango's wrists and feet.

"No, no, no, wait your turn," Aoi told them coyly.

"Naoke, please don't do this," Kagome begged, "please, we can talk about this, I messed up, I know that now."

Naoke snarled at her and whipped the sword through the air, slicing Kagome's arm as a warning that she wasn't herself.

"Kagome," yelled Inuyasha, struggling against the vines. Aoi smiled at the scene.

Kagome grabbed her arm and winced at the pain, "I only wanted to protect you, I never wanted to hurt you."

Naoke's eyes fought back the urge to kill her mother, closing her eyes and fighting it.

Aoi frowned, "Come on Naoke, she lied about your father, she lied every time you came to her for answers, don't deny it, kill her," Aoi rose into the air, "kill her and give me tainted blood."

Miroku stared at Aoi in thought since he couldn't go anywhere, 'What does she mean by tainted blood? Does she plan to gain powers from others corrupted actions like Naraku? Who is this Aoi anyway?'

A/N: ok, sorry guys, but I'm going to cut it off here for this chapter, I know it's short, sorry, but please review and I will try on the next chapter asap.
