Finally! Chapter 3! Sorry it took so long. I'm in the middle of moving and preparing for my daughter to come! YAAY! It's been really hectic. But to all my faithful fans thank you for all your patience! And finally I suppose I should do the disclaimers (which I forgot to do in my last 2 chapters) I don't own any of the characters in Inuyasha. I just love the series and am addicted to it. So now, Onward to the Fanfic!
Naraku still slept beside her. Quietly she got up and dressed. 'I can't believe I did that!' she thought. Marry Naraku. Panic Swelled up inside her like a dark curse slowly killing her. 'I have to flee.' she thought. Quiet as a mouse she snuck out. The guards had all fell asleep at their post. Finally she reached the door outside. However, there by the door was a huge burly guard soundly sleeping. She reached out and gave the door a push as it gave a great groan. She froze in horror, but the guard just kept sleeping. Kikyo didn't think twice but ran as fast as she could into the forest nearby. Like a ninja she disappeared into the darkness.
Naraku awoke expecting Kikyo by his side. He had reached for her and felt nothing but air. His eyes flew open in full out fury! "GONE!!!!" he stormed out, Threw open his door! He saw the guards asleep. That only pissed him off even more. "YOU INSIGNIFICANT FOOLS! SHE'S GONE!" he roared. "FIND HER! NOW!" he snarled viciously. The guards bowed profusely. "Yes milord right away!"
For three cursed dark months Kikyo ran; barely escaping Naraku's cold grasp! She knew where she was heading but wasn't sure if he knew some how too. During this time she realized that she was changing. She didn't understand why, just that she was. So she went to the only person she could trust, Kaede.
It was in the dead of the night when she reached Kaede's hut. Silently she entered. "Who goes there!" came the old voice of Kaede. "It is I sister, Kikyo," she calmly said. There was a minute of silence. "How can that be? My sister is long dead. Surly this must be a joke!" came the reply. "Iie, I am not dead, but not alive either. I must speak with you. It is urgent!" "Very well." She heard Kaede get up. A few seconds later the fire was lit. Kaede looked straight into her sister's eyes and saw that it truly was Kikyo. "It is you. But you are still the same as the day you died," Kaede said in wonder. "What is it you wish to speak with me about?" she asked. Kikyo looked into the fire and blushed with shame. "It's a long story dear sister," she said quietly. "Explain it to me slowly then."
Kikyo started all the way from the beginning, how she was tricked into going into the lord's home, and how she slept with him. Then she explained how her body was changing in ways that she did not understand. It frightened her. Kaede listened quietly. She was shocked that her sister had done such a thing. But she knew what was wrong. "Kaede what is wrong with me?" Kikyo asked with deep concern. Kaede took a deep breath. She knew this was NOT going to be easy. "What you are about to hear will not make you happy in the least bit," she began. "My dear sister, you are carrying that cursed man's child."
