The Dark Secret
Chapter Two: Fight at Naraku's Castle
Silence was all around them. "Kagome answer us." Sango said in tears as a gust of wind came that blew Kagome's hair back as she looked up at her comrades.
"I…" She paused. "I cannot tell any of you as of yet." Kagome said with her hand clutching to her heart, she than relaxed and took another dragged of her half burnt away cigarette.
"Kagome you were gone for one year and you can't tell us what you were doing?" Inuyasha asked angrily staring at her.
"Inuyasha, I'm very sorry… I'm to everyone…" She paused and took another drag from her cigarette and exhaled it. "But I cannot tell any of you, as of yet. Not until I am one hundred percent certain of everything that I know of it myself." She paused. "I'm so sorry."
"But Kagome…" Inuyasha started but was interrupted by Miroku.
"Inuyasha give her some time, she will eventually open up to us, nothing we can do to force it out of her." Miroku said sighing while staring at Kagome. "Come on Kagome, let's go to the village and than we'll head out tomorrow for Naraku." Miroku said already walking towards Kaede's village.
It was a short walk to the village but it felt like an eternity for everyone; especially to Kagome. The walk was silent except for the sound of their foot steps in the grass and wind whistling through the tree leaves. Kagome didn't know what to do. She took one last drag of her cigarette and than threw it away.
"What was that odd smelling thing anyways Kagome?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome looked at him.
"Huh, you mean the cigarette?" She asked him.
"Whatever that strange object was that you just threw away." He said looking at her wondering how she thought he would know what she was talking about.
"Yeah my cigarette." Kagome said oblivious. "It's something that people in my time do, not all, but many. It's not really good for your health but is very addictive, thus why I am doing it." Kagome stated.
"Bad for your health… Wait Kagome can you die from this?" Inuyasha asked worried.
"Well yeah, sometimes, some people do some people don't that's the way it is I guess." Kagome said not really caring.
Inuyasha growled at Kagome, she looked up at him when she heard a growl. "It can kill you?" He hollered. "Why are you doing it than? Stop!" He growled.
She looked at him shocked; even Sango and Miroku were taking his side. Shippo was already at Kaede's hut. "Well jeeze if you guys wanted to tell me how to live my life I would have just stayed in my time! Hah!" Kagome said angrily.
"But Kagome it's about your health." Miroku said, Kagome tried walking by him but he stopped. "Kagome you've changed a lot." He said looking into her eyes.
"Well that's the understatement of the fucking year! I'm seventeen now! Of course I have changed." Kagome said angrily. She looked at Miroku will death filled eyes. "Miroku move out of my way." She said coldly.
Miroku was frozen, 'where did Kagome get this attitude from?' Miroku thought, than snapped back to reality when he heard Kagome holler sit and Inuyasha crashed into the ground. Inuyasha had told her to stop with those cigarettes and she got mad and sat him.
"Miroku, move now!" She said agitated.
"No." Miroku said determined. "Kagome explain to us about these cigarettes." Miroku said.
"Last time I shall ask you Miroku, move out of my way." Kagome said full of anger. The wind in the forest had picked up and their hair was flying all over the place.
"Kagome, what is wrong?" Miroku asked. Sango was too shocked to even say anything any more.
"You have to the count of five Miroku." Kagome started. "One."
"What are you going to do?" Miroku asked.
"Two." Kagome said more irritated as the wind got worse. Kagome was just standing still with and angry look on her face, arms crossed and eyes closed.
"What's going on, where is all this wind coming from?" Inuyasha asked.
"Three."
"What is going on?" Sango asked barely even able to due to the wind blowing her hair in her face.
"Four." When Kagome said four the wind got even worse, Sango's hair tie ended up breaking so her hair was every where she literally couldn't see any more. Inuyasha could barely move because the wind was so strong. Miroku had his arm covering his mouth not knowing what else to do.
"Fi…" Kagome began when Miroku moved out of her way, just as he did so the wind stopped and everything was back to normal as she walked towards the village.
"What the hell just happened?" Inuyasha screamed. "Kagome I asked you a question! Now answer me."
"That question, and many other will be answered, but not any time soon, so be patient!" Kagome said with her hands on her hips walking away from them. Inuyasha was freaked out. By the looks of it, Kagome's the one who created the wind, but how could she do that?
Kagome had just walked into Kaede's hut to see that Shippo was gone. Kaede looked at Kagome weird. "Hello Kaede! I'm back!" Kagome said smiling.
"Ai child, that ye are, Shippo had told me." Kaede began. "But child what has ye come back as?" Kaede asked.
"How… How did you know?" Kagome asked.
"I am still a priestess, child." Kaede said.
Kagome sighed and kneeled down in front of Kaede. "Well you see Kaede; it's a long story, its starts of with my sixteenth birthday when I returned home on the other side of the well." Kagome began. "She was really happy that I had come back for my sixteenth birthday… But for one reason she was, and that was for me to know my family's little secret, which took one whole year to accomplish." Kagome said taking a bottle of water out for herself and one for Kaede. "She took me in to the seating room of my house where as in my era is called the living room. And she began telling me about it, and well the secret was…"
Inuyasha and the others ended staying back in the forest to examine what had just happened. "That could not have been Kagome's power, how could she have learned that?" Sango said freaking out.
Inuyasha sat down and put his arms in his sleeves and sat crossed legged again, with his eyes closed. "I don't know, but I'm sure it was her, the scent that was around her was not human, though I do not know if it was demon or something else…" Inuyasha began. "The wind threw it all off." Inuyasha finished opening his eyes seeing his two worried friends.
"I wonder what's going on…" Miroku said.
They all sighed and gave up, they had no idea what was going on, so they began heading to Kaede's hut. They heard some weird sounds blasting from the old hag's hut. All curious what that sound was, picked up their speed towards the hut.
The sound had a good beat to it, with someone singing.
'bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
What's wrong with me?
Why do i feel like this?
I'm going crazy now
no more gas in the rig
can't even get it started
nothing heard, nothing said
can't even speak about it
all my life on my head
don't want to think about it
feels like I'm going insane
yeah
it's a thief in the night
to come and grab you
it can creep up inside you
and consume you
a disease of the mind
it can control you
it's too close for comfort'
They walked into the hut to see Kagome singing along to the song while preparing something to eat. "Kagome what is that sound?" Sango asked.
Kagome looked up. "Oh it's music from my time; it's one of my favourite songs. It's called Disturbia."
'throw on your break lights
we're in the city of wonder
ain't going to play nice
watch out, you might just go under
better think twice
your train of thought will be altered
so if you must faulter be wise
your mind is in disturbia
it's like the darkness is the light
disturbia
am I scaring you tonight
your mind is in disturbia
ain't used to what you like
disturbia
disturbia
bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum

faded pictures on the wall
it's like they talking to me
disconnecting your call
your phone don't even ring
I got to get out
or figure this shit out
it's too close for comfort'
Kagome sang along with the lyrics. Sango was really enjoying the tune and Inuyasha was wondering how it was playing; as was Miroku.
'it's a thief in the night
to come and grab you
it can creep up inside you
and consume you
a disease of the mind
it can control you
I feel like a monster
By now Kagome was dancing to it too, and she was a fantastic dancer, Inuyasha couldn't take his eyes off of her, the way her curves went with the music.

With that the song finished as did Kagome's food. She finished dancing and grabbed her food with joy and began eating…
"Kagome how were playing that?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome chuckled. She picked up her iPod that was attached into a speaker dock. "This is a device from my time that you can use to listen to music." She said holding it up. "It can hold around four thousand songs. It's called and iPod and what it's attached to is called a speaker dock, you attach your iPod to it and it will play the music through the speakers."
Everyone looked at the devices amazed. "But it's so small! How can it hold so many songs?" Inuyasha asked.
"I don't really know…" Kagome began. "Like it's hard to explain, but I don't question it because I'm just happy I get to listen to music." She said smiling. Kagome than put on another song. This time she put on Faded a cover done by the band Cascada. Kagome sang along with it.
"My true colours gone, like a picture no one sees." Kagome sang. Just than, Kagome stood up.
"What's wrong Kagome? " Sango asked.
"Naraku…" Kagome mumbled.
"What?" They all asked.
"I sense the jewel shards, there are too many to be anyone else." Kagome said. They all got up began going in the direction Kagome told them to go to.
When they got to their destination, sure enough, they were at one of Naraku's castle. "Inuyasha…" They all heard not knowing where the voice was coming from. "How nice of you to join me here."
"Naraku! Where are you! Show yourself!" Inuyasha hollered plunging himself at the castle destroying a bit of it with his tetsusaiga. They heard Naraku chuckle in the distance no one being able to tell where it was coming from.
"You are very persistent Inuyasha." Naraku said.
"I will tear down every last bit of your castle until I find you." Inuyasha said through clenched teeth attacking another part of the castle. But blades were shot out at him. It was Kagura's dance of the blades attack. "Kagura." Inuyasha said.
Kagura laughed. "Inuyasha today is the day that you and your friends are going to finally die at Naraku's hands." Kagura said. 'I hope not.' Kagura thought. 'I hope they kill Naraku!'
Inuyasha laughed. He pointed at Kagura. "If that's what you want to think than so be it, but I'm going to have yours and Naraku head on a silver platter before I leave!" Inuyasha said plunging at Kagura with his tetsusaiga. While Inuyasha and Kagura were fighting, Kagome sighed and pulled out her pack of cigarettes along with her lighter and lit one up and began smoking it. Right now they were all standing on the roof top on a part of the castle, and Kagome was sitting.
Just as Sango was about to help Inuyasha fight Kagura, one of Naraku's new incarnations attacked them. They all went flying Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kilala landed perfectly while Kagome went flying into a wall of the castle bashing her back against it and falling to her knees.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha hollered. Kagome stood up coughing.
"That hurt you dumb jack ass!" Kagome screamed. "I just took a drag of my cigarette when you did that!" She coughed again. "Now my throat fucking hurts!" She hollered coughing non stop. Everyone was shocked; she hit her back extremely hard on the well, yet was not complaining about it, only her throat.
"Do not look at her, look at me!" Kagura said. "Dance of the dragon!" She yelled.
Inuyasha jumped out of the way as many tornados surrounded him. 'I have to help Kagome.' Inuyasha thought. 'I have got to get out of this trap!'
"You arrogant wench!" The incarnation growled. "How could that attack not have hurt you? You're a nothing but a mere mortal!"
"Hah! Fuck you too." Kagome said crossing her arms closing her eyes and turning her head.
That really angered her. "You fool! I will kill you now!" She plunged at Kagome.
Sango tried to help but just as she tried two other incarnations showed up. "We are here to keep you two busy." They explained in unison.
"They look identical!" Miroku said astonished.
The three of them had their hair up in a bun; tied with bead hair ties. They wore a short kimono style dress that had a deep v-neck in the front and short v-neck in the back. It also had had prim flexi sleeves, prim flexi leg bows that wrapped around their black stylish boots, and a sash that wrapped out their waist and made a big giant bow in the back. The kimonos were coloured black but trimmed with a different colour, each girl had their own colour. The ends of the sleeves, the sash, the leg bows and trimmed around the neck and bottom of the kimono were their colours.
"Ah yes we do." One said.
"That is because we are triplets!" They laughed. "The only way you could tell us apart is by the colours we wear." The one in blue said. "My name is Mizuko."
The other one giggled. She was wearing the colour green. "My name is Kohana." She giggled again. That's when they seen their sister going flying into a castle wall.
"Aidan!" Mizuko hollered to her sister who was wearing red.
"I'm fine Mizuko, but how did this mere mortal make me fly into a wall with a mere kick?" She hollered.
"Hmph. That'll teach you." Kagome said angered.
"Mizuko, meaning 'water child,' Kohana meaning 'little flower,' and Aidan meaning fire." Miroku began. "Kagura controls wind. We are now facing all four elements. "Earth." He looked over at Kohana. "Wind." He looked at Kagura. "Fire." He looked at Aidan. "And Water." He looked at Mizuko.
Mizuko smirked. "So the young monk figured it out." She said.
"He is smarter than I took him granted for." Kohana giggled.
