Chapter Eight Allies and Enemies
Miroku gave a low sigh as he tended to the fire. It had been three days since Sango's outburst. The small group of four quickly gathered Kagome's yellow backpack and left the group. InuYasha had barely noticed them, he seemed far too interested in Kikyo, and her seemingly untamable beauty… not!
In Miroku's opinion Kikyo was anything but beautiful, her eyes always spoke of hatred and rage, her face always appearing in a frown or a snarl. However what turned Miroku off the most was Kikyo's aura. Her aura was just as dark and malicious as Naraku's.
A pulse of pain jarred Miroku from his thoughts and caused him to gaze down at his right hand. His flesh was a light purple and his wind tunnel was causing him great pain. A painful reminder of the battle fought earlier that day. They had been walking down a worn path through the forest. Only to be ambushed by a trio of enormous Oni.
Almost immediately Miroku and Sango prepared themselves for battle; Sango heaving Hiraikotsu over her shoulder, and Miroku holding his staff steadily in his left hand. However the Onis were quite fast; and Sango soon found herself curled up on the ground in pain, her side aching due to the fact that one of the Onis had torn her flesh open with its claws.
Miroku made up his mind immediately on a course of action. He quickly ordered Kirara and Shippou to take Sango to safety, and then he began to loosen the beads around his accursed hand.
"Miroku, you can't… their blood is poisonous…" Sango pleaded as Kirara and Shippou carried her to safety.
"Sango, I have said it once and I shall say it again. What good is this curse if I cannot use it to protect the woman I love?" Miroku asked as he uncovered the wind tunnel and proceeded to suck the Onis into oblivion.
(O.o is it just me or does that sound really wrong?)
Once he was assured of their safety Miroku covered his wind tunnel, taking no time in leading his injured love and their companions to an open clearing where they could set up a campfire.
After he tended to Sango's wound Miroku leaned back against a tree and began to meditate, using all of his concentrations to ignore the pain in his hand.
They did not eat that night, Sango could not muster the energy, and Miroku was a terrible cook.
So Miroku just sat there and against the tree, his mind completely focused on averting the pain from his hand, his stomach rumbling from the lack of food.
His attention had only been averted once, and that was when Sango had prepared herself for sleep.
By the time the sun had set Miroku was the only one left awake. And awake he would stay, his body not resting until Sango was awake and safe.
The sudden snapping of a twig caught Miroku's attention and he immediately set his gaze into the forest.
Within seconds there were five ofudas in his hands, and he was standing in a stern fighting pose.
However his stance slackened as he heard someone call out, "Wait brother! We mean you no harm."
Miroku furrowed his brow as he focused on the voice, he recognized it and he was curious as to where he remembered it from.
Sudden recognition lit his eyes as he watched a pair of wolf youkai enter the area.
"Ginta, Hakkaku, what are the two of you doing this far from the eastern caves?" Miroku queried as he watched the two youkai enter the camp.
"Our pack decided to return home to the North-eastern caves where Kouga's parents live. The tribe decided it was not safe to remain in our caves without Kouga as our leader." Ginta explained sadly as Hakkaku sad down on the ground in exhaustion.
"We couldn't go with them, not since Kouga died… he was like an older brother to us. And with him gone we just don't feel like a part of the pack anymore. Se we figured that we would find you guys, and maybe hang out with you?" Hakkaku said as he rested one of his hands upon his a raised knee.
"I suppose that that would be okay. However I should inform you that InuYasha isn't with us anymore…" Miroku said as he sat back don in his position.
"Oh really, why not, and where is Kagome, oh did she and InuYasha run off and get mated?" Ginta asked as he sat next to Hakkaku and smiled at his brother.
"No! Oh god no, Kagome was kidnapped by Naraku about two and a half weeks ago, we originally set off to find her. But InuYasha gave up a week later and decided to have Kikyo replace her instead." Miroku explained with a shrug.
"WHAT?" Shouted both of the youkai furiously, they then glanced at the sleeping Sango and mouthed a sorry to Miroku.
"So, we left InuYasha and are now travelling to find Kagome on our own." Miroku finished explaining after casting a worried glance at Sango.
"What happened to you guys? Why is Sango bandaged, and why does your hand look like that?" Hakkaku asked as he leaned forward and glanced at Miroku's accursed hand.
Miroku then explained about the events that had happened earlier that day, after a few moments of explaining his stomach let out a rather large complaint.
After hearing his story the two wolves nodded to each other and smiled at Miroku, "We can help, Hakkaku is a natural healer, and I am quite the cook. How else do you think Kouga was able to stay alive so long?" Ginta commented as he stood and headed off into the forest.
"You two stay here. I'll go get us some food and firewood. Hakkaku can take care of your wound brother." Ginta said as he walked off into the forest.
"Uhm, there is no need to call me brother… my name is Miroku and the lovely lady is my intended Sango. The young Kitsune is Shippou, and finally the two tailed neko-youkai is Kirara." Miroku explained as Hakkaku took his right arm and studied it for a moment.
"Okay, well Miroku, this is going to hurt quite a bit…" Hakkaku said as he took Miroku's arm and bit down on it. Miroku screamed as the pain intensified, he then watched in curiosity as Hakkaku began to suck on his arm. Miroku continued to watch as Hakkaku would suck for w while before spitting out a mouthful of blood, what surprised Miroku was that with every suck and spit (Ewwww) his arm was slowly returning to its original tint.
By the time Ginta returned Miroku's arm was back to normal and bandaged, and Hakkaku was slowly bandaging Sango who had had some solvent applied to her wound. Miroku stared at the two wolves for a while watching as Ginta cooked, and Hakkaku cleaned his hands with some water from a deer skin canteen.
After a few minutes of silent gazing Miroku cleared his voice and asked, "Ginta, Hakkaku, would the two of you like to join me and Sango in our quest to rescue Kagome?"
The two wolves glanced at each other, then they glanced at Miroku and gave a joyous, "Yes, please!"
Naraku was fuming…
Not only had he lost to Sesshomaru in a battle, but he had also lost Kagome and Rin, an action which put a major rut in his plan…
He had fled to a castle in which he quickly disposed of its human inhabitants, making it suitable for himself and his subordinates; not that he really cared about whether they were comfortable or not.
It had been four days since he had lost them, and he was still furious, how the hell had Sesshomaru found him. He left no trail; he left nothing that could possibly give away his position. And he had caused no major havoc in the area so no one should have known of his whereabouts.
He was brought out of his thoughts by Kanna clearing her throat.
"What is it Kanna." Naraku asked with a snarl as he glared at the young void Youkai that sat in the corner of the room he was occupying.
"Kikyo is approaching the castle… and she is bringing InuYasha alone with her…" Kanna said emotionlessly; however in truth the void youkai was confused as to the sight she was seeing in her mirror.
Naraku merely raised an eyebrow before standing and preparing for a fight. Seething that Kikyo had betrayed him so violently… especially after the vow she had made the last time they were together.
Flashback
An exasperated scream escaped Kikyo's lips as Naraku drove her into her third climax of the night.
He was a violent lover… and she loved it, she loved that he wasn't afraid to hurt her. InuYasha had always treated her as if she made of porcelain. Instead Naraku was not afraid to make her bleed, and she found it extremely seductive.
Within seconds Naraku came as well, his exhausted form falling on top of Kikyo.
Kikyo lay content for a moment before leaning up and whispering seductively into her masters ear, "I vow to you my lord that I will remain loyal to you and only you. I will help you defeat your enemies, and aid you in reigning eternal over Japan."
At this Naraku grinned maliciously before retuning to his lovely little sex toy, pounding her cold hard body relentlessly, his pointed ears taking in her every scream with an endless lust.
End Flashback
Moments later Kikyo entered the room with InuYasha, almost instantly Naraku noticed there was something different about his arch nemesis, his golden eyes were clouded and he seemed to have a vacant stare across his face.
Naraku raised an eyebrow at Kikyo and asked, "What is wrong with InuYasha? Why is he not trying to kill me?"
"I have placed him under a manipulative spell; he is very impressionable right now." Kikyou purred as she walked up to Naraku and cupped his growing erection, leaving InuYasha to stare obliviously at a wall.
"However my Lord the spell will only last for a short while longer; however his new 'beliefs' will stay with him long after the spell has faded." Kikyo explained as she continued to rub Naraku all over.
Naraku grinned malevolently before turning to InuYasha, "Well my friend, I suppose you are wondering where your precious Kagome is. Well the truth is that I took her from you in order to save you from her manipulative ways."
InuYasha continued to stare blankly his eyes showing no sign of emotion as Naraku continued to speak. "I knew how much she was hurting you, even though you were unaware. I knew that her presence constantly reminded you of the woman you lost. That this fake, this copy, was hurting you by not giving the soul within her body back to your precious Kikyo. I know that her constant control over you because of that collar was causing you both great emotional and physical pain."
"I mean how dare this meddling human woman unleash you from a curse only to place you under a new one? And not only that but she refused to allow you to see your beloved once she was given another life. I felt it would only be beneficial to you if I removed this nuisance from your presence. Allowing you to have the life that you always wanted…"
Moments later InuYasha came out of his stupor, his mind warped by Naraku's harsh words and twisted truths. His mind poisoned by a new hatred for the woman that he had loved only a few short weeks ago.
"Where is Kagome now?" InuYasha asked his eyes taking a slightly orange tint as the poison of Naraku's words fully sank in.
"Well, I was planning on allowing for you to kill her once Kikyo brought you here, but your meddlesome brother appeared and took her from my embrace. I believe he is planning on using her to kill you…" Naraku said with an evil grin as he watched InuYasha's face contort in rage.
Yes! Okay I changed like five things while writing this chapter and to be brutally honest… I love how it turned out! Anyways what do you think of this chapter read and review please!
