INUYASHA FLASHBACK
Inuyasha headed in the direction of the castle that they had found Naraku. He hoped that maybe he could find some type of clue as to what had happened to his beloved Kikyo. In the forest that had held the castle he caught a glimpse of her. Well he had assumed that it was Kikyo. He followed the woman for sometime before she stopped in a meadow.
The woman looked like she was waiting for someone or something. Racing forward to the woman to see if it was his Kikyo. He noticed that the soul stealers where nowhere to be seen. Walking a little slower his brow furrowed.
"Kikyo are you okay?" Inuyasha asked the women who smelled of a midnight in summer hence electrical and flowery.
Her smell. She had a smell that did not remind him of a damp graveyard. The woman raised an eyebrow to him.
"Why would you worry yourself over me?" she asked narrowing her eyes as if he where planning a sneak attack. She came closer to him to check him over for a hidden agenda.
She was so close he could feel her warmth. She was alive and they could be together. Not thinking as to how that could have happened he grabbed the woman to his chest in a crushing embracing.
"I love you. I love you so much. I never thought we would be able to be together." Inuyasha breathed into her hair.
He loved her. No one loved her and sure as hell not Inuyasha. Darkness shot threw her heart and she pushed him back from her.
"You love Kagome. It has always been Kagome. You only think you love me because she is having Sesshomaru's child." Kikyo spit at him and raised her dark powers to fingertips.
Was she crazy and why did she think Kagome was having Sesshomaru's child? "Kikyo has something happened to you? Kagome sure as hell is not having that bastard's child. She would never betray our friendship like that." Inuyasha fumed trying to get a hold on the increasingly darkened aura of the priestess.
A cold swept her veins and heart. 'He lied I knew that he didn't love me. Could not love me. Always that goody goody bitch!' Kikyo started to chant a spell. Looking to a rather confused Inuyasha.
"Such a good puppy you are Inuyasha. A good puppy indeed!" Kikyo screamed as she shot the spell towards Inuyasha.
Flames and heat tore his body as the spell ripped at him. He screamed from the tormenting pain. A bright light on all sides that he could not escape. His clothes fell from his body, as his body became smaller and fur took over his body. By the time it was over he could barely move and whimper. The woman laughed at his anguish. Kikyo turned heel to leave the puppy to be devoured by something bigger.
This was to be his ending. To die by the hand of the woman who had once sealed him to a damn tree. Would he never learn that she would be his death? No he had to fight and find Kagome. He had to make things right with her and have a normal life. No more torment and no more pain from the woman who repeatedly tore his heart to shreds. Inuyasha thought as he fought to right himself.
Inuyasha finally had found them or he thought that it was them. He could smell the scent of Sesshomaru, but the human also smelled like his brother. Sango was crying, but wait there she was sleeping. He walked so happy to see her and then he licked her face.
That was what led to where they where now. Kagome frowned and let a few tears slip down her cheek for her friend. The two Sesshomarus where trying to help the pup understand what had happened in his absence. Kagome looked to the youki Sesshomaru.
"Do you think he had a run in with your Kikyo? Our Kikyo had been missing for some time and how on earth would she have been alive when he found her?" Kagome asked looking to the youki.
The two Sesshomaru looked at each in understanding that she did make a good point. "You are right. He probably managed to confuse her as much as she confused him. This still does not explain what has happened to the monk." The youki sighed
Back in the village Sango sat in the center of the village. She had been waiting and watching anyone that walked by her. She would find him. She had to find him.
As she sat a woman approached Sango. She was slightly older than Sango, a little over weight and her face could have been better. To say the least she was homily.
"Pretty night isn't?" The woman asked. Sango gave a little smile and nod to the woman.
"You know he wasn't faithful to you. Men like that never change. The leave you for younger prettier girls after they have used you." anger touching the unknown woman's face.
"What are you talking about? Miroku, do you know where he is? Please what ever he has done he is a good man who would die for his friends." Sango dropped to her knees crying pleading with the woman.
The woman shook her head "I do not have him. She brought him back to drain him of his holy powers. She said that he was unworthy." The woman said patting Sango on her head like a pet.
"Who and where can I find him?" Sango asked the strange woman.
"You want him that bad. The who is mistress Kikyo of course. She has taken up residence at the southern tip near the ocean. Maybe if you talk to her she will help you understand that men need to ruled or they cause trouble." The woman chuckled before vanishing in front of Sango.
Sango raced to Kirara and headed back to camp to tell the others what had just happened. Upon her arrival she listened to the story of Inuyasha and his betrayal. Just as the youki finished Sango spoke up.
"I know where to find Miroku. We have to travel to the southern tip near the ocean. Kikyo has taken up residence there. Apparently she is trying to control the men that she has taken. A woman in town wanted me to join forces with them. She said that Miroku was bad and that all men needed to be ruled." Sango said looking to her shocked companions.
They thought it best to head to the southern tip in daylight. They had no idea what they where really looking for. The men scoffed at the idea of women ruling the world. Kagome thought it best not to say anything at all.
As the night wore on everyone found sleep except for the human and youki Sesshomaru. The human looked at the youki with a question burning his mind. The youki smirked and nodded as if to say it was okay to ask.
"You are not as you seem are you? The others think you to be a nice peace loving person, but I think not. They are far to trusting for their own good. I have a feeling that those priestesses will never bother us again. Nor will anyone see them again. " The human said looking at the youki.
"Hn, you may walk around in your world openly, but I chose a different approach. We are assassins first and aristocrats second. It is easier to let people think you are the good guy and imagine their surprise when you cut their throats. The only person besides you who knows this is my Kagome. She had found it strange that our enemies that she had thought we let go would end up in pieces later.
She caught me when I was about to strike down a wolf prince. She had shot an arrow at my heart, but I caught it between my fingers reducing it to nothing. She then drew her sword and never had I had such an intense fight. That was when I knew I had to have her as my own and make her understand. So I did and she does kind of, but she watches me very closely now to make sure I am not running around cutting everyone down." The youki laughed.
The human Sesshomaru was shocked beyond belief. He had thought that he was not as nice as he seemed, but sure as hell did not believe him to be worse than him. It was a little unnerving especially with him so close to his Kagome. She had said that she could sense no evil towards them, but she might be wrong.
Raising a brow the human said "I prefer to fight openly, but you are correct if I did follow my assassin up bringing then I would be the same way. You chose to follow your mother's foot steps and not your fathers."
The human was asking more than telling. "I found my father's life to be anything but interesting. I care not to rule the world. I am more of a thrill seeker." The youki said
"Perhaps I should have done the same." The human said.
After a little conversation between the two of the best way to destroy an enemy the human gathered his priestess in his arms. Soon he found the peacefulness of sleep trusting the youki would be able to handle any problem at the moment.
