The Miko's Taiyoukai

Kagome looked at her friend and sighed.

"So, do you get the plan?" She asked, looking at her.

"So, let me get this straight." Sango said slowly. "I, have to go to the bottom of the cliff, with kirara. You, are going to fall off the cliff on purpose. Sesshoumaru is going to be nearby. This way, you can see if he truly loves you or not, by seeing if he will catch you. If he does, then you two talk it out. If not, you give up. Right?"

Kagome nodded. "Right."

The two women slapped hands and ran to catch up to the others. Kagome wasn't trying to seem crazy, but somehow she felt that someone might get that feeling. She needed to know if he was lying to her or not. One mistake and she could be dead, so everything had to go as planned. If he rescued her, she would ask him questions and get the answers she wants no matter what. If he leaves her for dead, then she will give up. The miko awaited the day, although part of her was afraid. What if he doesn't help her? What if he leaves her to die? She couldn't answer these questions. Though, she knew that getting over him would be hard. She had fallen so in love with every little bit of him. The young woman wondered if it would even be possible.

The miko stopped for a moment and remembered the actions and the words that Rin had said to her right after Sesshoumaru had fled.

"Kagome san! Did you just see Sesshoumaru sama?" Rin had asked. Kagome had nodded and asked Rin where their camp was set up. Rin wrote it down for Kagome and walked into the woods towards her camp.

The miko had made sure that they were headed the right way, and was certain that before nightfall, they would be close enough. She was scared, but she believed that his love for her was true. She was determined, but scared.

The group entered a village and decided to split up. Kagome waved to Sango and Miroku as they went into the village. Kagome decided that she wanted to daydream about the next day, and what might happen if he saved her...

Miroku held Sango's hand softly as they walked through the heart of the village, the market. Miroku pushed through the crowds, doing his best to shield Sango. Ever since he lost the wind tunnel they had been closer than ever. But, although being rid of the terrible burden was a good thing, it also meant that Miroku was left useless during battle. He often blamed himself when someone got injured, thinking If I still had the wind scar... But soon, his head would clear and he would remember that if he still had the wind scar, he wouldn't have been able to be with Sango. And that, would be worse than death.

The demon slayer released herself from his grasp and skipped over to a small hut. There, sat little trinkets of all kinds; bracelets, rings, earings and chains. Sango picked up a small wooden doll in the shape of a dog demon. It had a terribly upset look on its face and silver hair down to its bottom. It was about the size of her thumb, but all of the details were clearly seen. Sango looked up at Miroku and he immediately took out the wallet that Kagome had brought him. The small doll was only a few yen, but made Sango smile widely.

"Kagome will love this" She said kindly.

Miroku smiled at the young woman. She loved her friends, even if they were dating their arch enemies. "Yes, I do believe she will."

Kagome sat up and stared at the woman who stood in front of her. Kikyo sat beside her and looked up at the clear sky. Kagome felt slightly afraid of the comments that she expected to come out of the miko's mouth, but heard nothing. Kikyo simply stared up at the sky. Kagome felt anxious and decided to start the conversation.

"So, Kikyo, how are you and Inuyasha?" She asked.

The miko looked down and replied. "I... think that i'm going to leave him."

Kagome's eyes widened as she stared at the miko who wouldn't look at her. "Why? I mean you won! You won his heart! Why would you want to leave him now?"

"Because... he isn't the same person that I fell in love with."

"Wha... what? How, how is he not the same person... he looks like Inuyasha to me.."

Kikyo looked up at the miko and revealed her saddened face. "Because! He yells at me when I do something wrong, he threatens me, and he doesn't act like he loves me. He doesn't say it... I don't even think that he even thinks it anymore. I just..." Kikyo stopped and looked down.

Kagome hated this woman for taking something that she had once loved, but she was still a person. And Kagome was too kind to just leave her there. "Have you even told him this?" She asked.

Kikyo shook her head as Kagome continued. "Well, maybe if you discuss it with him, he will understand. I mean, he must only be acting so... harsh so that he could mimic you. Oh, no offense! But, you know how immature he can be!"

The two women laughed softly at the remark as Kikyo held her head up.

"Your right. I should talk to him. Umm," Kikyo stuttered as Kagome raised her hand.

"Its alright. I know. Now go talk to Inuyasha and straighten things up." Kagome smiled. Kikyo stared at the seemingly glowing girl and smiled back. This, was something that Kagome doubted anyone had seen before. Kikyo stood and walked towards the area that Inuyasha was staying. Kagome watched as the woman disappeared into the mysterious dark of the woods. Her heart ached to think that even though she couldn't have her love, someone else was having theirs. The young woman lied back down and stared up at the clouds. They seemed to be so fluffy and carefree. Something that she was not. Kagome giggled as she imagined Sota's face if he could see her with Sesshoumaru. Really, he was the ideal man, tall, but not too tall. Skinny, but not so that you feel like you could snap him like a twig. Soft, but not skinny. He had muscles, but he wasn't just a big heap of them. His smile was like taking a bite out of a cloud. And his tough was as warm as the sun. His touch... That is certainly something I miss. the miko thought.

Kagome sighed loudly as she lifted her hands and placed them on her face. She felt so empty without him. Plus, his way of breaking up with someone was kind of... harsh. Kagome reflected on how long she cried for, and how many headaches she got from it. Love was a difficult thing. It held many hard and difficult roads, but it also held many happy, higher roads and those, were worth some tears for. Kagome touched her hair softly and smoothed it out along the grass. I suppose that I should think of what to say to him once we meet...

Kagome stood abruptly as Miroku and Sango approached. Sango held a giddy look in her eyes and Miroku wore a soft smile. Kagome stared at the demon slayer in confusion.

"Whats up?" the miko asked.

"Well, Miroku and I were walking in the market when I spotted this!" Sango held out the tiny doll as Kagome touched it softly.

"It.. looks like Sesshoumaru! It looks exactly like Sesshoumaru! The hair, the ears, I could even paint on his markings on his face! Oh, and I could make his clothes with some of mom's extra silk.. Oh! Thank you Sango!" Kagome exclaimed hugging Sango.

"I knew that you would love it Kagome! Well, now you MUST be ready for tomorrow!" Sango smiled.

The miko looked at the woman with determination in her eye. "Yeah!"

Kagome and Sango walked towards the area that they had planned everything in. Sango re-ran it with Kagome and went with Kirara to find Sesshoumaru. Kagome stood at the edge of the cliff and looked down. It was a very steep drop with many twigs in the way. If she were to fall then she would be dead for sure. The miko backed away from the cliff and looked around. The clearing was surrounded by trees. Some fresh spring water sat to her left, and she could hear the soft sounds of animals scurrying around in the trees. Kagome stepped around looking at all of the nature.

Suddenly, something rustled in the bushes. The miko guessed that her friend had found Sesshoumaru and that, that was him now. Kagome stepped into her designated spot and waited for the man's head to emerge. The first thing that appeared was silvery hair, caught in a twig that was connected to the bush. Kagome stepped away from the cliff as she saw Inuyasha, not Sesshoumaru, appear.

"Inuyasha? What are you doing here?" She asked, slowly approaching.

Inuyasha walked briskly towards the young woman and stood in front of her. He stared intently into her eyes and frowned. The hanyou bent down and bowed before her. She was stunned at the actions, and didn't dare speak.

"T... thank you!" He yelled. Kagome could hear the embarrassment in his voice, but still wondered what she was being thanked for.

"W... what? Why are you thanking me?" She asked, touching the back of his neck. He stayed bowed, as she guessed that he was blushing too much to raise his head.

"For... talking to Kikyo. And convincing her not to leave me. She told me... she told me everything you said. So... umm, thanks. And, i'm also... sorry. For... you know... breaking your heart and all. Oh, and for being a jerk."

Kagome giggled as the hanyou chuckled in return. He stood up straight and shot his hand out at her.

"Friends?" He asked with a hopeful look in his eye.

Kagome smiled and shook his hand. "Friends."

Inuyasha rubbed his neck and looked around. Kagome smiled and realized that he had someone waiting for him to return.

"Go to Kikyo. I'm sure that you have alot of making up to do! Bye" She waved as the Hanyou retreated into the woods.

Kagome walked slowly back towards the cliff when she heard another rustle in the bushes.

"Inuyasha? Did you forget something?" She asked kindly. Though it wasn't Inuyasha who walked through the bush.

"Hmph, I thought that you and that hanyou already broke up. Trying to get back together are we?" Kagome tensed as Kimi stepped closer to her. "So, Sesshoumaru told you all about our little game?"

Kagome muttered 'bitch' under her breath. Kimi laughed and took a step closer, while Kagome took a step backwards.

"Let me guess, you have been SOO heart broken that you have been going to the hanyou for comfort right? Oh but wait, he has a girlfriend! That dead priestess that won him over! I guess that this is your second time loosing to another girl!" Kimi continued to step closer as Kagome continued to step backwards.

"Hmm, maybe you should get your men straight. That hanyou is a looser. Now Sesshoumaru on the other hand, now THAT is a man! Ohh, his long silky silver hair, and his beautyful face! The way he walks, so cool and composed! And you can't forget the way he takes care of that child! Its like.. father and daughter! But I love the way he--"

"What do you want from me?" Kagome asked bitterly, cutting kimi off.

"What do I want? I want to teach an insolent miko that youkai and human don't mix. Give her the experience of pain that I felt." Kimi took another step closer as Kagome took a step backwards. "I want to teach some stupid love struck lovers that love isn't that easy." Kimi took yet another step closer as Kagome inched backwards." I want to make someone other than me suffer from love."The miko looked down to see that she was at the end of the cliff, and that she had no more ground to stand on.

"But most of all" Kimi said, coming right up to Kagome's face, toughing her briskly. " I want the human, the one who will one day break the youkai's heart with tales of cheating and lies, to suffer, and then die!"

Kimi screamed in Kagome's face and pushed her face harshly. Kagome fell, stunned at the actions of the woman. She had seen it coming but still, it was unbelievable! Kagome couldn't believe that she was about to fall to her demise at the hands of that woman, again! Kagome's eyes began to swell with tears as she looked at the image of the woman get smaller and smaller. Though, time seemed to be going one millisecond at a time. Kimi stared at the falling miko with a look of hurt on her face. Her lip almost trembling, her eyes almost crying. Such a sad expression that I, the author cannot express it. Kagome didn't have the time to process it all. The bottom of the rock was getting closer and closer. Twigs and vines snapped against her skin and cut her. She couldn't feel it though, all she could do is think of the same three words over and over as tears barreled out of her eyes. Sesshoumaru, help me!

Sesshoumaru walked with the demon slayer towards the cliff where Kagome stood. He wondered what the miko could possible want him for, but none the less, he was happy with just the thought of getting to see her. They walked into the clearing and noticed quickly that Kagome wasn't alone. Sesshouamru immediately noticed the scent and the aura. Kimi. That damned woman hadn't had enough. Kagome stood alarmingly close to the edge of the cliff as she tried to hold her ground. Sesshoumaru watched the Demon slayer look at Kagome quizzically.

"Why is she standing like that?" Sango asked Sesshoumaru silently. She can't see it? She can't see the youkai standing in front of Kagome? Wait, is that one of that damned woman's powers? To disguise herself?

Suddenly, there was a heart wrenching scream as Kagome fell over the cliff. Kimi looked down at the young woman who was now falling below her.

"Oh shit!" Sesshoumaru growled to himself. He ran towards the cliff and pushed Kimi out of the way. The woman fell, being caught off guard. She stared up at Sesshoumaru angrily.

"This Sesshoumaru will protect the miko. So stay away unless you intend on being killed." He said quickly before dashing down the cliff. Kimi swore under her breath and turned to the woman approaching her slowly from behind.

Sesshoumaru looked down to see that Kagome had already hit a large number of branches and vines and that she was unconscious. She was falling too fast and too close to the bottom. He couldn't keep up with her. Damnit! Damnit damnit damnit! He thought. Kagome neared the end as he reached his and out to try and grab her hand even though he was far behind. He closed his eyes as he ran down the steep cliff at full speed. DAMNIT!! Sesshoumaru quickened his speed but was still far behind her
