Shikon Uni. 21

Chapter 21: The Truth Reveals Part 1

Kagome growled at that.

"Oh perhaps I should introduce myself…"

(AU: You are going to hate me! But you won't sooner or later…right? I'm a Kikyo hater, nothing really surprising about that. Trust me this story's going to get confusing later on. So later on in this story you'll forget all about this!! )

Kagome blood then stopped at that moment. 'What did this woman have against her? Well lately everybody had something against her.' At least that's what she thinks. The woman was a little hard to figure out. She turns invisible, attacks her and turns visible for Kagome to see. 'Then she insults me for…saying she has sinister blood. I guess I could agree about insulting me, because I basically did insult her to. So I'm no better! On the other hand…I have every right to insult her. She was beating me up!'

"You should really stop thinking too much in your head!" The woman jolted forward towards Kagome. Again Kagome barely dodges the attack, but yet only got a tiny scratch left on her.

"You should stop running so I can kill you!"

"You know for a very evil spirited person you have a lot of issues!" Kagome immediately replied.

"Doesn't everybody?" She questioned.

"By the way my name is…" The woman could barely finish when Kagome caught her throat, and then cut a nerve at the back of her neck. She fell limply to the ground.

"Again, less talk more fighting!" Kagome smirked with sarcasm.

By the time Kagome stopped fighting, she realized that the walls had gone back to the way they were before the incident occurred. She was just about to leave when she felt a force quake beneath her legs.

"What is this?" Kagome questioned herself.

Kagome looked back at the sudden change in the tunnel. It was now darker, but a light shown in the darkness of the tunnel. The light shown vivid and wanted her to follow it. She was always too curious and wanted to know what kind of things were about to happen. Willingly, she followed the atypical light, wondering if she should not be following it. But something inside told her to explore and take the adventure.

Her coat was torn down so she decided to throw it away and began to stroll along the darkened tunnels more.

Inuyasha reached the spot where Kagome's scent was last. She disappeared, again. He saw that this tunnel had been busted a bit. There was a logical explanation to all of this, and he was going to get to the bottom of it. As he examined this part of the tunnel his eyes caught a familiar scent. Two to be exact! One scent was Kagome's, and then the other was…

He realized something at that point. "No it couldn't be!"

"Why? What could this mean?"

She could hear the many echoes. Kagome tried to take in deep gasps of air, but as she moved farther into the tunnel--the harder it was to breathe. She fought her way through the tunnel craving for more air. It seemed that she was going more and more into the tree's core. What a huge tree this has to be. Kagome sensed rays of light farther down the tunnel. She ventured down and glimpsed at the sight she was gazing upon. The temptation of touching the mystic light was unbelievable. Temptation was all she could think about. She could feel herself slowly moving to the light. As if it called to her and wanted her to join its magic journey. When she snapped back into reality, she scanned her surroundings and noticed that she wasn't in the tunnel. Kagome glared at the beautiful landscape she just examined. She was at her cottage about six hours from here and her brother was swinging on the tire swing that her father had made for them. This was way back when she was seven. Why is she going back in the past?

She heard a young scream in the background. Following where the scream came from; it was her from when she was almost attacked by the bear. The bear was at growling fiercely its teeth bared and stood up on its hind legs ready to attack. She watched as the bear slowly charged at her. When out of the blue a glowing light shot out from her hands, blinding the animal. The younger Kagome screamed, stay away!

The flashback slowly faded away as she returned back to the darkened tunnel. It seemed so obvious, why didn't she notice it before that very day she was attacked by the bear? She had magic—no, spiritual powers! Kagome took this as a signal to go back in the other direction. Before she could leave, the light had wormed its way to Kagome's field of view again. She took a step closer to the exit. But it seemed as though, the light won't allow her to exit now. Her only choice now, was to keeping heading in the direction where her air was decreasing.

Inuyasha ran but then began to realize the air change. His instinct told him not to go in any further, but he ignored it and kept advancing through the tunnel. Then he too, saw the lights rays. Beginning to think that he was getting closer to Kagome, he jogged until that very light stopped him. Same situation as Kagome was in a few moments ago he didn't dare to touch the light and wasn't about to find out what it was. He kept moving forward and was wise not to waste anytime until he found Kagome.

The light started to slow down then it suddenly stopped. She was beginning to get a little worried, about this cave. The light was evolving into a human form.

"Kagome…" She took a step back from the speaking light. She could sense a familiar voice from the light but couldn't tell whose it was. When the light was able to focus and finally transform into a body,

Kagome's eyes widened, "Dad?"

He nodded. His hair was jet black and he wore a white suit. It was his old wedding suit. The wedding suit he wore when he married her mother. She could tell it was his wedding tux from the old wedding day pictures in her mom's photo album.

"Kagome, you are in grave danger. Get out of this wicked tunnel immediately!"

"Well I kind of already realized that." She noted.

"Good, then get out now. This tunnel is going to be too strenuous to be able to walk through. I suggest that you retreat and forget about the sacred jewel." When she finally caught up to what he just said she was surprised at what he had just said.

"Dad, you know that there is no such thing as— before she could say anymore, her dad hushed her.

"Why'd you do that?" She asked curiously up at him.

"Don't say that around this tunnel. Things could happen!" He answered. When he looked back at the rest of the darkened tunnel and frowned.

"You must leave now. The jewels desire is getting stronger!"

"What desire?"

"Kagome, you must humor me and leave!" He pushed her back to the way she came.

"Hold it! I'm not going anywhere until you tell me about the jewels desire!" He looked into her honest warm eyes and suddenly felt his protecting wall crumble into ruble.

"The jewel wants to become whole into your body!"

".." She didn't have anything to say to that. That answer completely threw her off guard and she began to ask millions of questions to her father.

"I don't want the jewel to become apart of your body just yet. You are a demon. Demons can't control the jewel in a good way. They will be destroying everything that's in there path!" he explained.

She nodded and understood what he was explaining to her.

This demon that cursed you is very powerful and sinister. If you use the jewel while your demon, he could take this as an advantage to kill you!"

"The demon's a guy? What's his name?"

"Naraku." He said.

"Now go and find your beloved." She blushed when she heard that part. As she ran off she could feel the air start get back to normal and she was relieved about that. But how on earth did her father know that she was down here? How did he even come back after he was already deceased? When she sensed Inuyasha's presence, she kind of felt happy and overjoyed that she had company again.

Inuyasha was being over protective of Kagome as usual but she didn't seem the slight bothered by it. He looked at her for a second. He was shocked. Her cheeks had three pink streaks across them and her eyes turned magenta. Kagome's hair was a bit shorter because of her dark blue-black spiraled curls. He couldn't believe it. She's even hotter than before. Just when he thought that she couldn't get any hotter than she already was. Kagome looked at him concerned. He was drooling.

She smirked, "Inuyasha why are you drooling?" he snapped out of his gaze.

"What?" He asked.

"You were drooling." Kagome stated. A light shade of red formed on his cheeks.

"No, I didn't!"

"Yes you did."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"You drooled and you know it!"

"Feh," "Why would I drool over you?" He muttered.

To Inuyasha's dismay Kagome could hear that. "What did you say?" Her voice was threatening. He was caught off guard by this. He had never seen Kagome this angry before.

"I asked you a question." Kagome softened her voice when she felt him get nervous.

"Feh, you heard me wench." She turned around then started to walk faster towards the exit.

He smacked his hand on his forehead and muttered, "Shit. I made her even angrier!"

He ran up to her but ended up being ignored. "Kagome, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that!"

"Oh, it's alright I heard you loud and clear."

"Kagome I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that." She stopped and looked him in the eyes.

"Really, prove it!"

He glanced down at the floor. "That's what I thought!" Kagome began to walk around him.

When all of a sudden she felt held back, his hand gripped around her arm. He pulled her back until they were close, nose to nose. At that very moment she could have sworn she felt her heart skip a beat. The fury soon drifted away and she could feel Inuyasha's lips meet hers. He moved his tongue along her lips for entrance, and before she knew it her mouth opened and his tongue slid right in deepening the kiss. They were like that for about a minute later and then they had to break apart for air.

"Did I prove it?" Inuyasha asked with a smirk spread across his striking face.

She nodded lightly then began to kiss him again.

A piercing yell came from the opposite direction. The image became clearer and it seemed to be that woman Kagome fought earlier.

Inuyasha's eyes widened. "K-Kikyo?"

He stood their completely dumb-founded. He could feel that Kagome's anger was rising. "That's your name?"

The woman didn't hear her but was looking straight at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, it was horrible! She tried to kill me!"

He looked at Kagome searching for the truth, instead she just shrugged. "Inuyasha, I had no idea this was Kikyo. I swear! In the pictures I seen earlier, she never looked like this."

"Are you going to believe that bitch?" She's trying to brain wash you into thinking that I'm lying." Kikyo urged.

"Inuyasha…I didn't know. But seeing that she's back into your life, I'll just remove myself from the picture." Her eyes closed from the hurt that came from her mouth. He was stunned that she would say that.

"Kagome…I believe you." Her head shot up and when she turned around she could feel hatred coming from a certain someone's eyes.

"Inuyasha!" Kikyo complained.

"Kikyo, I can't be with you! You left and never told me where you went." He explained.

"That's because I was kidnapped!"

Kagome couldn't believe this she could sense uncertainty in Kikyo. 'Inuyasha could sense this too. At least I hope.'
