Author's Note: Okay guys here's chapter 4. To give everyone a fair warning the chapter updates my slow down a bit only because I have just started college and got a new job. But no worries for I will not forget to update as quick as I can. I big thanks to all who have read my story and an even bigger thanks to those of you that have reviewed. I'm looking forward to hearing what you guys think!
Kagome's POV
"Kagome!" I heard someone yell behind me and looked up from my task to see Rin running towards me. I held my hands up for her to stop and motioned towards the wet ground and pointed for her to go around.
Rin was one of the slave healers here who took care of the other children when they became sick or were wounded by the demons. She was a sweet young girl of fifteen and had dark, black hair that spiked out in different direction and warm brown eyes.
She nodded with a large smile on her face and walked around like I had told her to do. She then dropped down next to me and lifted up my shirt to look at my scars. I saw her face light up as she touched the wounds and noticed that they were healing.
"Wow, you weren't kidding when you said you healed fast," she whispered as she traced a long one that reached from below my right breast to my left hip. I tugged the shirt down and winked at her before leaning over and scrubbing the floors again.
"I told you dumb asses to listen to me, but for the love of all that is kami, you just had to bother," I told her as I tried to scrub away the blood stain in the hallway.
"You stupid girl, I wanted to destroy you!" Kikyo yelled at me and pushed me roughly to the floor. My reflexes kicked in and I sprang to my feet ready for her.
"You had everything!" she yelled and swiped a hand at me. I watched her finger nails lengthen into claws and jumped out of the way again as she came at me.
"Kagome I picked flowers for you!" I heard Kaoru shout up at me. I looked down from my post on the wall and smiled at her. Inuyasha had given me the task to wipe bird shit off of all the windows an hour ago and it was taking me forever to complete. The scars on my stomach were still sore and it was difficult for me to try and finish my jobs.
"Kay! Just set them down and I'll pick em up when I'm done here!" I shouted down to her. Kaoru worked in the kitchen and was known for being a trouble maker. She always did something to piss the demons off and honestly, it was hilarious.
Her latest trick had been polishing the floors really slick so that when the demons walked on it they would slip and slide. She had also placed a thin string across the floor which would dump a large, cold bucket of ice on top of them.
It had been quite a sight to behold. She had long, orange hair that was tied back into a ponytail and bright green eyes. Her skin was tanned and her ears pointed. Kaoru was a quarter fox demon and when her parents had been killed she had been sent to the mansion and labeled as an abomination.
She was lucky that Inuyasha was half demon and held some small pity for demons like her and just threw her into the slave pit.
"What the fuck are you talking about!" I roared at Kikyo as she started swiping at me again and again. I kept dodging the attacks and narrowed my eyes when a dark aura began emitting off her in thick waves.
I was so busy watching her aura, wondering what it meant, that when she sprang at me again, I lost my balance and fell. She smirked and plunged her claws into my chest and thrust downwards. I cried out in pain as I felt the blood seep from my wounds and collapsed to the ground.
Kikyo stood above me and smiled before bringing the bloody claw to her hands and licking the blood off. I glared at her and whispered out, "Da-damn you..." before wincing again and falling back onto the cold floor.
I could feel my blood slowly trickle out of my wounds and she laughed as she stared down at me. I tried my hardest to keep a fixed stare on her, but failed when I felt my vision become blurry.
"Ahh this is so boring. You aren't even worth my time," she whimpered out in a bored tone as she walked over me and let her dress slip across my burning wounds.
I hissed out in pain and tried to turn to look at her as she walked to the door and opened it.
"Rin, clean this mess up and make sure you send her back up here to finish the job," and with that she glided out of the door leaving me in a bloody mess and woman to care for me.
I pouted as I washed this dishes covered in muck and cursed both Inuyasha and Kikyo. I was lucky Jinenji had finally figured out the genetic sequence in demon blood that made them heal faster. He had placed a vaccine within my body promising that any damage done would heal nicely within a few days max.
I now had the body of a demon. Or so I thought. Jinenji told me not to worry because it wasn't really like that and my miko powers would have purified the blood anyway. He had simply done something to transfer the demon power to human blood and injected it into a vaccine which could be kept within a human body for at least a year.
I had to give it to the big guy, he was a fucking genius. I almost dropped my plate when someone blew cold air against the back of my neck and turned to see who it was. I was really not expecting Inuyasha and narrowed my eyes at him before turning around and continuing my work.
"Aww, come on Kaggy, don't be such a bitch," he said as he stepped to the side to lean against the sink. He was dressed in a loose, opened red button up shirt and the same black, ripped jeans that he normally walked around in.
"Kaggy," I heard in the back of my head. I closed my eyes and watched as the memory of a small boy with dog ears gave me a thumbs up and a stupid smile.
I smiled softly at the memory but then wiped it away remembering that the Inuyasha I knew was no longer the same. He was a cold, evil bastard who had mated with an even bigger bitch and killed my family.
My jaw tensed at the thought and I gripped the plate tightly. Inuyasha just kept looking at me and I glared daggers into his direction as he went to place a hand on my shoulder.
"Don't touch me," I hissed out and stepped away from him. His eyes bore into mine before he reared his hand back and slapped me hard across the face.
His gold eyes pierced mine with a cold glare and I only threw my head back and laughed. Inuyasha looked at me as if I was insane and it only made me laugh harder and clutch my stomach.
"Ah, you and my bitch of a sister are perfect for each other. I never knew you to be so…abusive towards women. Didn't your mother teach you better," I purred out and smiled when I saw his face pale and his eyes widen.
Talking about Inuyasha's mother was probably the lowest of the low, but after everything he had done to me, I honestly didn't care. The pain he had made everyone in the town suffer was worth it.
His eyes flashed red, but I could tell he had control over his demon, and he picked me up by the throat and thrust me into a wall. The kitchen help panicked and screamed to get away. I only smiled at the demon before me and laughed again until he choked me and I coughed.
"Don't you ever talk about my mother you son of a bitch!" he growled at me and slammed my head against the wall before releasing me. I spat out the blood that had flowed into my mouth from a cut on my lip and coughed while rubbing my neck to ease the pain.
"Oops I forgot, that's a sore subject for you Lord Inuyasha," I seethed in a hoarse voice and watched as he raised a hand to slap me again. It was stopped as Rin jumped out to grasp Inuyasha's leg and whined,
"Please don't My Lord! Kagome is still healing from the wounds by Lady Kikyo!"
I heard Inuyasha inhale sharply and down to Rin and back at me which caused me to look away from him and down to the ground. He dropped his hand and knelt down in front of me and grasped my chin, again, and forced me to look up into his eyes.
Will people please stop fucking man-handling me! I screeched mentally as he tried to stare deep within my eyes. I averted my gaze and tried to push away when he grabbed the hem of my shirt and pulled it up.
Across my stomach were three, long gashes and I heard the kitchen slaves gasp and whisper as they looked. Everyone knew me and Kikyo were sisters and never thought that she would actually harm me. I became annoyed as Inuyasha just continued to look at the scars and pushed myself, roughly, out of his grasp and away from him.
"I am NOT a fucking museum. Next time you want to take a look at the exhibit, buy a ticket asshole," I hissed and got up.
Two demons popped in next to me as I walked out of the kitchen and escorted me back to my prison cell. It turns out that was actually the living quarters for the slaves. As they ushered me into my cell and closed the door, I released a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the bed.
Operation 1: Gather DNA from Kikyo - complete
Flashback: The Hive
"Kagome, we are going to need you to seek out Kikyo," Miroku told me and handed a vial to me. I looked at the small, clear bottle and back up to him confused at what he was talking about.
"So what's this little vial for exactly? What am I supposed to do with it?" I said while slipping it into my pocket.
Miroku smiled and led me over to Jinenji's room and knocked. Jinenji opened the door and ushered us into his lab where experiments bubbled and oozed. I took a deep breath and hissed as an acidic smell made its way into my lungs.
In the corner was the decaying arms of demons and I grimaced as one pulsed and twitched. I followed behind Miroku as he stopped in front of a yellow tube and handed it to me.
"You see if, we can get Kikyo's genetic DNA, Jinenji will be able to find out a way to destroy Kikyo. She is no longer a human correct? By the way, drink that," he told me. I gave him an incredulous look and groaned before forcing the bitter liquid down my throat.
"Yea, but what am I supposed to collect in the vial?" I coughed out as the thing burned my throat and sat down in one of the metal stools. Jinenji walked over and wiped a cotton swab against my skin before marching back over to his collection of vaccinations.
Miroku placed his chin in his hand and chuckled before saying, "Simple. Collect anything from her that we can use to destroy her with. Blood, saliva, nail clippings, hair, anything.
I nodded and winced as I looked to see Jinenji sliding a needle into my skin. I looked over at Miroku and sighed while shaking my head. What a bitch.
End Flashback
I groaned as I rolled over and slipped the vial out from under a loose brick in the wall and held it up. Inside was a small drop of blood. I smiled and held it up in front of my eyes so the boys got a good look at it.
I heard static from my ear and sat up as the microphone booted up and a soft, deep voice spoke up.
"Good job Kagome. Now, once Ginta has seen the whole layout of the place we will send Kohaku on Kirara's back to go and pick up the vial. When that time comes, we will need for you to create a distraction so he can slip in and out quietly," Jinenji said. Then Sango's voice came on and I smiled.
"Kagome! How are you?" she asked and I grunted. She gasped and was about to ask something when someone interrupted her and pulled her away.
"Okay Kagome ye are on your own. Ye know the next part of the mission. Until then," Keade's soft, old voice spoke.
I stayed silent and waited for the thing to sound off before slipping the vial back into the wall and falling down on my side. I was bringing the Takahashi clan down one little step at a time.
