Chapter Three

"The Shift Part 2: Alliance?"

Frowning she looked around before she remembered. "Where's Shippo?" she asked whilst looking at her tiny companion. The infant merely arched a brow in confusion. Sighing she stood up to look for her….kit.

Kagome gently placed the infant on the couch making sure to surround him with the pillows. The ting baby cooed and giggle as he rocked from side to side the bubble slipping from his nose had him in awe. She smiled gently at the baby cuteness.

A frown marred the usually content miko as she remembered all too clearly Kikyo words, "It's quite simply survival of the fittest besides we should count it as one less demon we have to worry about trying to kill us." How InuYasha could still love that…that bitch when she has such a blunt disgust of everything demon.

She wondered what he really saw in her and if somewhere deep inside all that hate and vengeance she was still the woman he loved. And even more she feared that if such a noble and kind person as Kikyo could so easily become so….cruel, if she her reincarnation had a sliver of evil in her.

She shivered in fear at that thought she would never hurt her friend or even mistreat them just because he or her were a demon(or half in this case).

That bastard Kikyo thought bitterly. How could she the most powerful spiritual being be forced into the position of servant, and to a filthy demon no less.

The miko slashed her nails across the bark of a tree. She hissed in pain as she saw that embedded in her clay flesh a splinter. They all thought she felt nothing but hate and hungered for vengeance. But she did feel pain and even love. But she would be damned of InuYasha did not suffer for his selfishness.

If that filthy Hanyou had only agreed to become human when she asked instead of making her wait, that vile freak Naraku would have never killed her and she would've never bound InuYasha to the tree.

Naraku

At the mere mention of that creatures name her anger grew.

He'd stolen everything from her, her life, her future, and her…..children. Seeing that golden eyed baby only served to remind her of what she could never give to InuYasha. It was not fair she thought bitterly that InuYasha could be so happy, whilst she suffered in her loneliness. Who could ever love that filthy little half-breed as he was now? Of course her reincarnation, Kagome the kind, the warm hearted the miko who love a Hanyou and raised a Youkai.

That bitch was the sole reason for InuYasha's happiness but in less than a fortnight she had made sure that all signs of love and trust evaporated their camp. According to his plan, now InuYasha was isolated from the group, but they were too loyal to the miko to ever leave him.

She could care less what ShunYuan reasons were for pursuing InuYasha, but the youkai had assured her that Inuyasha would receive his just dessert and that she would get the body of her copy. She would be young again and just as powerful. Love marriage and most importantly…children would soon be in her grasp.

She stared at het he flat belly her hand resting on it, oh how she so desired to feel the life growing within the kicks, to hear her child's heartbeat. She sniffed in irritation as no tear came from her husk like body. The only thing that could come forth from her womb is an abomination, quite like Naraku's earlier offspring's. But sweet and naive InuYasha belied that with the power of the jewel they would be able to get the life that was stolen from them fifty years ago. Despite what she assured ShunYuan of a part of her still held strong feelings toward InuYasha that weren't exactly hateful.

She cared for the Hanyou, but she refuse to let him live a life that she was not a part of or at least responsible for creating. ShunYuan would make sure that her wishes were fulfilled. But it nagged at the back of her head just what exactly the demon plan was for her beau.

"Kikyo!' A voice ranged out, drenched in worry.

Speaking of said beau, mustering about her powers Kikyo quickly blanketed the demon scent on her. It wouldn't' do for Inuyasha to become suspicious of her so soon.

"Over here InuYasha." She called out. In a mere second the young boy came out of the clearing and made his way towards her a smile spread across her face.

Kikyo felt a pang in her chest as guilt raced through her the miko flinch as the unwanted emotion that was soon blanketing her insides, twisting them as though her very body was disgusted by the trap she'd so callously step up for him.

"Are you okay Kikyo?"InuYasha asked worried the smile had vanished

And as she stared into those golden orbs she saw herself staring back. When did she become so cold….

"Kikyo. Are you okay?" He asked again. His question made her jump out of her stupor.

So naïve she thought softly. Lifting herself up she gave him an apologetic smile. "I'm alright InuYasha. I was just taking a walk". The young Hanyou smiled warmly at that.

"Great let's get back to camp. I'm starving." He said his hands going to rub his belly to further illustrate his point.

The miko smiled at that gesture. "But of course….love." She purred. Her smile stretching as she saw his cheeks flushed in embarrassment. Throughout it all InuYasha did not stare coldly down at her lack of vitals or earthen smell, he loved her clay and all. It was a pity that ShunYuan had made her an offer she couldn't refuse.

That didn't mean she still didn't regret it……..terribly.

"Kagura, it would seem that there is another who wishes for InuYasha's defeat." A baboon clad figure stated.

Raising her head at the mentioning of calling of her name, the ruby eyed wind sorceress stared coldly at her master and creator. "Hai Naraku-sama. Do you wish for me to dispose of him?" She asked.

Chuckling said man stood up allowing for his pelt to slip off, revealing the lithe form of a young man (for now). His raven colored hair curled as it draped upon his form, his violet eyes stared coldly down on his…daughter. He knew all too well how the foolish little wench wish for nothing more than to rip his throat open. As if she could when he held her heart in the palm of his hands, literally. "Tell me Kagura dearest. How do you intend to find our friend?' He asked.

The wench cheeks flushed in embarrassment. "My apologizes Naraku-sama I was not thinking."

"Precisely you were not thinking. Even if you were able to eliminate this new threat, you forgot one important factor towards our mysterious friend usefulness." He rolled his eyes as she stared at him in confusion. He was surrounded by idiots. "He wishes InuYasha harm as well. You stupid wench!!" He hissed out in anger.

She opened her mouth to answer, but Naraku lifted his hands up to silence her. If the woman didn't leave his sight soon he would kill her.

"Kagura you will do nothing. We will watch in the shadow as this unknown ally manipulates that filthy hanyou and his group." His eyes suddenly narrowed as he caught a glimpse of the wench seating in front of him thoughts.

He quickly held his palm outstretched and very slowly heart materialized.

"Ahhhhh!!" she creamed in pain as she withered on the ground as though a snake.

Unwrapping his hands form the expose artery Naraku continued nonchalantly.

"We will wait and see for what purpose does this demon desires InuYasha destruction. And if his goals are the same as ours you will approach him and get him to join us". He said turning his back towards her. "And if his goal differs in the slightest form our own. Then you will see if you can kill him. Understood." He said not even turning to see the young demoness struggling to her feet.

"Hai."

Standing up Kagura asked him in a strained voice, "And what I f he does not desire an alliance with us….you Naraku-sama."

Chuckling once more the being made his way over to her slowly, his hands reaching out caress her cheeks in mock kindness. She flinched from his touch but that did nothing to disbar Naraku from grabbing her chin roughly forcing her to look up at him as he spoke.

"I trust that you are more than capable of coming to the correct conclusion".

Nodding her head slowly, Naraku released her hiding his glee as she fell to the ground. Her kimono fell around her and her left breast was exposed to his eyes.

Blushing she tried to cover herself bit Naraku waved his hands at that. It'd been quite sometime since he'd taken a lover. His daughter would do quite fine in the role.

Moving towards her, he watched and sadistic happiness as the wench was smart enough to flinch away from his approaching form.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Her cries soon echoed throughout the dark castle, the inhabitants quickly fled from the corridor that housed their master. All knowing to well the fate of the once so proud sorceress.

Cold golden eyes surveyed his surroundings as he leapt from tree to tree. As a familiar smell wafted toward his nose he slowly mad his way to the ground. Walking ever so softly to the deserted clearing he crouched in front of a bush as he scented what he'd sought for the past days. How she had even gotten so far in her seemingly weakened state was quite the surprise to him. But the scent incased in the shrubbery was more than a day old. His eyes suddenly redden as he caught the familiar scent of……

"Inuyasha." He hissed out.
