My Saviour is My Enemy

Hey,

Once again I find myself apologizing for the late update. But now I bring sad news the updates will be fewer in between. I am starting college in the fall, as well as a job that I need to work at as much as possible in order to pay the bills… but enough of my blabbing. I'm still going to be writing these stories and I will never stop. So without further ado, I introduce the thirteenth installment to the My Saviour is My Enemy series .

Here we go!

Crystal,

Chapter Thirteen: Mending of A Broken Miko.

The sun had set by the time Keiji stood and stretched saying, "Well Sesshomaru, that's all for me tonight, I need my sleep… especially since I have a new charge in the morning." He then nodded to Sesshomaru and headed towards the door, where he was stopped in his tracks by the sound of a shrill effeminate screech that rattled his eardrums.

Immediately Sesshomaru stood and raced towards the central tower, a single thought on his mind,

"The Miko!"

Meanwhile…

Kagome curled into her bed in fear as Naraku entered her room, a malicious aura sweeping across the room as he gazed at her wickedly.

"So Miko, you thought you could escape me by hiding in Sesshomaru's castle did you? You foolish girl, there is no where you can hide from me, I own you body, mind, and soul. No matter how far you run from me, I will find you..." Naraku said monotonously as he reached down and stroked Kagome's cheek, his miasma leaving ugly red welts along her flesh.

Kagome whimpered as the pain seeped in, the courage that had been brought upon by the safety of Sesshomaru's castle gone and forgotten, as she found herself right back in the clutches of the very epitome of evil, the man who had brought fear and guilt into her life with simple words that had cut like a double edged blade.

"And don't think that those that you cherish are safe Miko, everyone you hold dear has suffered because of you disappearance."

As Naraku spoke images began to fill Kagome's bedroom, images that chilled her down to the bone and destroyed her spirit.

The first was Rin, or at least what had once been Rin, now all that remained was the young girl's body. Her orange and white gingum kimono soaked in blood and her cherubic face marred with lashes and lacerations, her once bright brown eyes dull and lifeless. Kagome stifled a sob as she tore her attention from Rin's corpse only to experience the pain of loss once again.

Next her eyes fell upon Shippou and Sango. Shippou's severed head lying inches away from his body that was caked in blood, his puffy tail now limp with the weight of the heavy ruby liquid. His eyes and face frozen in a never ending scream that tore right through Kagome's soul. Sango was bound to a tree, her bone boomerang pinning her there through the abdomen, and her black and pink attire barely hanging onto her broken body, leaving Kagome to witness the cuts that had been carved into her flesh. Kagome could barely stifle another sob as she noticed that Kirara lay at Sango's feet, her cream coloured fur turned red with blood belonging both to her and Sango.

Kagome ripped her attention from her fallen sister only to gasp in horror as her eyes fell upon the two final members of her group. The first she noticed was Miroku, his robes stained dark with his blood that came from a great hole in his chest where his heart should have been. His violet eyes frozen on Sango, a look of pure sorrow frozen into them for all eternity.

Then her eyes fell upon him, his black hair spread about him in an almost angelic way, his dark purple eyes closed almost peacefully, the only evidence of suffering upon his face was his mouth that was parted in a silent howl of agony. He was pinned to a tree, ironic that the last time she would see him would so similar to the first. However the object binding him to the tree broke her heart. The sword of Earth created to protect his mother, a sword forged of pure love and affection, and yet there it was fully transformed pinning him to the tree of ages. His hands frozen in the act of attempting to free himself.

It was the sight of his body that broke her, a deep heart wrenching wail grew from her lips as she fell to the ground and curled upon herself. They were gone, all gone, and it had been her fault, had she not been so vain in her need for a bath, then none of this would have happened, they would all still be alive, they would not have suffered so… yet they would have, and it was her fault… had she not returned the damned jewel to their era then none of this would have happened. Naraku was right, he had always been right, the majority of her friends suffering had spawned from her foolish decisions. Had she not chosen to retrieve her cat from that well three years ago, then none of this would have happened. They would not be lying dead, instead they would be living…

And as Kagome lay there contemplating all of her idiotic decisions she let out a fierce, ground shaking scream that tore at her throat and left her breathless…

Sesshomaru passed Keiji within seconds, and he wasted no time in racing up the stairs towards Kagome's room. His mind focused solely on ensuring her safety.

He arrived at her room within seconds, and he wasted no time in tearing her door open. What he found within her room shocked him immensely.

Hikari was pacing anxiously at the end of Kagome's bed. His ears laid back and his tail twitching anxiously. His head turning to Sesshomaru the second that he entered the room.

"My Lord, Lady Kagome had just fallen asleep, when all of a sudden her scent became heavily laden with fear. She then began to whimper and cry out in her sleep… after a short while she curled upon herself and let out that terrifying scream…" He explained quickly as he bowed to his Lord his eyes never leaving Kagome's shaking form.

Sesshomaru walked straight past Hikari, his only sign of recognition towards the Wolf being a simple nod of the head. He arrived at Kagome's side within moments his heart giving a small ache as he took in her position. She was facing away from him, her body curled in upon itself in a tight fetal position. Her body was slick with sweat, and she was sobbing openly, and in between he could catch her repeating one phrase, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault…"

He quickly deduced that she was suffering from a nightmare; however he was unsure of how to awaken her without causing her more stress, or angering her to the point where she would purify him from existence… So he sat on the edge of her bed, placed his hands on her back, and began to rub her back softly. While he rubbed her back he began to speak softly to her, hoping that his words and actions would break through the spell that the dream had on her.

Kagome shuddered deeply as Naraku's malicious chuckle began to resonate all around her room, her hope and dreams fading with every second, and then she heard a sound that caused a flicker of hope to reignite within her heart. It was a soothing voice that was filling the room.

"Miko, you must listen to me… whatever you are seeing right now, it is not real. It is a dream, you are actually safe and secure within my castle walls, far from anyone that would ever be able to harm you. I can promise you Miko, upon my word as Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Land, that you are safe. No harm shall ever come upon you while you are living within my walls…"

Kagome cried softly as she listened to Sesshomaru speak, he sounded so honest and sincere. Yet she was so afraid, how could she trust him?

Was this not the man that had tried to kill her and her group oh so many times in the past? Was he not the same man that had struck fear into her heart the very first day that she ever laid eyes on him? Was this not the man that was known for his hatred for humans? Yet here he was caring for a human child, and willing to care for an annoying human woman.

"Do you truly believe him Miko? If you do you're more of a fool than I ever thought. He cares nothing for you; you are nothing more than a pawn to him in his quest for the sword that his hated half brother wields… You foolish human, Sesshomaru could never care for you, what you are hearing now is nothing more than an illusion brought forth to further you're pain…" Naraku said viciously as he tried to keep his grasp on Kagome's mind.

Naraku's voice snapped Kagome out of her train of thought, and she quickly shifted her gaze to him, as she stared at him she began to truly focus on what he was saying.

The sword that his hated half brother wields? As she ran that phrase over in her mind a thought rushed into her mind

"Wait a minute! Sesshomaru gave up on the Tetsusaiga a long time ago, in fact he gave it up because he knew that InuYasha needed it in order to control his demonic blood… This can't be right, why he would try to use me as a pawn to obtain a sword that he doesn't want doesn't make sense, plus he has Tokijin now… something really isn't right here…" As she continued along this thought path Sesshomaru's voice once again entered her room, and once again it washed over her, calming her almost instantly.

"Miko, though I may not know what you are seeing or hearing right now, I know this, you are a strong and stubborn human, not to mention wise. You know that you are safe here, you are protected, and no one and nothing will ever harm you. This I promise you. So I simply ask this of you Miko, wake up, so that you will suffer no more…"

After hearing his words Kagome turned to Naraku and smiled, she had realized that what Sesshomaru said was right. The safety she felt when she was within Sesshomaru's domain was unlike she had ever experienced in her life. It was a warm and accepting safety, and it felt as if his entire castle was enveloped with Sesshomaru's aura. And as she thought about this safety she thought about how impossible it would be for Naraku to get in, let alone harm Rin.

"You wanna know what Naraku? This is MY DREAM and I'm sick of you're presence, so why don't you leave?" Kagome asked as she stood and began to walk towards him, passing by the images of her fallen friends that quickly changed to a scene of flowers and beauty. Kagome continued to smile sweetly as she walked through her room, changing scenes of death and destruction to those of life and innocence.

Kagome reached Naraku quickly and as she did she said one thing, "Naraku you will never own me, I belong to no one, and I never will, not you, not Kouga, not even InuYasha, I am my own person!" She said simply as she placed her hands on Naraku's shoulders and shoved him back.

Naraku grabbed her right shoulder roughly as he attempted to steady himself. "You don't understand Miko, you do belong to me, and you will realize just how much very soon." And as he finished speaking he released her shoulder and faded into the darkness of her subconscious.

Kagome woke up slowly, her mind still reeling from the dream; however she felt a small spark of victory at the thought that she had just expelled Naraku from her mind.

However her victory was short lived as she felt a strong surge of pain shoot through her right shoulder that caused her to jolt from the dream world back into the real world.

The first thing she noticed was that there were three demonic aura's in her room. The first one which was closest to her, was Sesshomaru, in fact he was sitting right next to he staring at her with a wide eyed look, this caused her to stare at him curiously for a moment, shocked at the sight of Sesshomaru showing emotion.

The next aura belonged to Hikari who was staring at her with a beet red face, his eyes quickly moving from her chest to her face. The final aura belonged to the Kitsune she had met earlier. His attention was also locked on her chest, a lecherous look stamped on his face.

Feeling slightly awkward she glanced down only to go bright red in embarrassment, during her rough awakening in which she had lurched forward in fear, her sleeping yakuta had fallen off her right shoulder revealing most of her right breast and part of her stomach. As soon as she noticed her situation Kagome let out and effeminate squeak as she pulled her yakuta closed, quickly tying the sash shut as she glared at the Kitsune… Keiji! That was what Hikari had called him… what a pervert…

She then froze as she felt a hand brush across her shoulder, moving the material back. She turned her head to see Sesshomaru staring at her back intensely.

"What is it?" She asked curiously, twisting slightly as she tried to see what had caught his attention… did she have a zit? Or a wound that had yet to heal… what was it… Then she was reminded about the pain she felt at the end of her dream, and her curiosity grew ten fold, as she became frighteningly aware of a searing pain that was originating from the area he was focusing on.

Sesshomaru rolled his eyes as Kagome squirmed, he then used his free arm to hold her down, while his other arm kept the fabric away from her shoulder. What had gained his attention was a small marking located on the back of her shoulder, the marking held two symbols that were joined, the first was a blood red heart, but the heart did not meet at the bottom as most hearts did, instead it hour-glassed and led into a pitch black tear drop.

"Miko, did you have any knowledge of this marking?" He asked as he gently ran his finger over it, effectively giving Kagome goose bumps.

"What marking?" she asked as she tried to turn and get a look at it.

"Cease your moving Miko, there is a marking on your shoulder in the shape of a bleeding heart. Do you know where it came from?" He asked seriously as she caught the Miko's eyes, as he caught her eyes he noticed two things, first was that she was still scared and just a little curious, but most importantly he noticed the unbridled beauty that lay within her smoky blue irises that seemed to delve right into his soul.

"She's beautiful is she not?" His beast added with a light almost purr like growl.

"I hadn't noticed I was far too busy wondering about this marking… it bears the same power signature as Naraku. Now silence, I need to concentrate, and figure out where this mark came from and how it is going to affect the Miko." He said as he averted his attention from Kagome's eyes to focus on the marking once again.

"No… but I would like to know why it's burning… in fact it only started burning since Naraku grabbed my shoulder in my dream." Kagome mused as she tried to focus on the origin of the marking.

"Naraku, he was in your dream?" Sesshomaru cut in immediately, "I need you to tell me exactly what happened in your dream Miko…" Sesshomaru commanded as he locked eyes with Kagome once again.

'Yeesh, pushy isn't he… and why is he talking all normal of the sudden… ugh men" Kagome thought with a groan as she explained the whole of her dream to the three men in the room.

"That still doesn't explain where the mark came from, I remember seeing that mark yesterday while you were bathing, as well as during previous day when I had been changing your bandages while you were still unconscious." Hikari explained as he sat on the chair next to her vanity (make up desk) and wracked his brain trying to figure out where the marking came from.

"Rin knows…"

Everyone's attention immediately turned to towards the door to Kagome's room, where Rin was standing. She was wearing a pink sleeping yakuta and she had a stuffed geisha doll in her arms.

"What do you mean sweetie?" Kagome asked as she reached her arms out towards the girl, allowing Rin to run and jump into her arms.

"One night while Rin and Mommy were still at the bad mans place and Mommy was still asleep the bad man came in the room, he tried to hurt to me but Mommies barrier was still up so instead he went over to her and touched her shoulder while reading off a scroll, he then let a drop of something fall on her shoulder… you cried out a little Mommy, but then you fell back asleep." Rin explained as she looked up at Kagome her big brown eyes filled with worry.

Meanwhile Kagome was speechless, here was this little girl who had suffered through so much, and ended up not only travelling with Sesshomaru, but she had also somehow worked her way into not only his cold heart, but Kagome's as well. And now this little girl who had once called her sister, was now calling her Mommy. As she dwelt on this she began to realize just how much she missed Shippou.

"Rin, why is it that you refer to the Miko as Mommy now, while earlier you were referring to her as sister?" Sesshomaru asked in confusion while he also thought, "And if you view her as Mommy and me as Daddy… then what are you thinking of the fact that we obviously share no affections for each other?"

"Well, when we first trapped with the bad man Rin thought of her as a sister, protecting Rin from the bad man, and taking the punishment instead. But now that Rin thinks about it, sisters don't die for their sisters, but Mommies will die for their babies. Rin should know her real Mommy died for her a long time ago." Rin explained as a few tears escaped her eyes.

Kagome gave a small gasp of sadness as she leaned forward and hugged Rin to her tightly, saying, "Don't worry baby… you can call me Mommy as long as you want. I will consider it my greatest honour." She said as she kissed Rin on the top of her head.

Meanwhile Sesshomaru found himself staring at the pair, his heart softened at the sight; however something clicked into his mind as he thought over Rin's words. 'He read from a scroll while touching her shoulder… it can't be… all evidence of the existence of that spell was destroyed centuries ago… but with what Rin said it fits…" He then glanced up at Keiji, all signs of compassion and emotion void from his eyes.

"General Keiji, are you aware of the Possession spell?" He asked as he replaced Kagome's yakuta to its proper position.

Keiji's eyes widened as he caught his Lords meaning, "Lord Sesshomaru you can't possibly mean… that spell is forbidden." He replied as his tails puffed out in anger.

"This man we are dealing with cares not for the rules that forbid… what I would like to know is how? How did he come to knowledge of a spell in which to my knowledge there only exists one scroll too, a scroll that currently rests within these very walls, alongside the sacred artifacts of My family." Sesshomaru replied with a snarl.

"Can some one please explain to me what's going on?" Kagome suddenly asked as she stood up from the bed. "What is this possession spell… and what does it have to do with me?" She asked as she glanced between the two men.

"I am not certain yet, and until I am certain I will not assume." Sesshomaru said coolly, while hidden beneath his calm exterior he was fuming.

'How did Naraku get his hands on that scroll? How is it possible? Only I can get within the sacred room, not even that whelp InuYasha bears the proper powers to get within its sacred walls.' He thought with a sneer as he began to walk towards the door.

He then paused as he looked back at Rin, "You may stay with the Miko if you wish tonight Rin." He then left the room, walking peacefully to the stairs then racing down them at his top speed, arriving at his office within seconds.

He then withdrew a small ring from within his kimono, quickly approaching his desk. Once he arrived at his desk he cleared off the right hand corner and took the ring placing it on his middle finger, he finally took his hand and formed a fist. Fitting his fist into an impression on the corner that he had cleared off, causing an instant chain reaction.

The first thing that happened was that the rug on his floor disappeared from sight, the wood floor beneath it changing before Sesshomaru's very eyes.

The wood floor seemed to sink into the ground, and steps began to form as the floor continued to sink. As the staircase was revealed an age old Magic cast by Sesshomaru's ancestors began to cover to room in an impenetrable barrier. Not only sealing Sesshomaru in, but sealing everyone out from the sacred chamber that was slowly being opened. Sesshomaru then walked towards the opening staircase, his skin crawling slightly as the age old magic covered the room, illuminating him in an eerie yellow aura.

He then proceeded to walk down the forming stairs, his cold eyes taking in the changes in wonder. Though he had travelled to the chamber many times since his first visit over two hundred years ago, he was still awed at the spell which concealed the secrets of the Inu clan.

The Wooden floor literally expanded and grew not only forming stairs but an intricate stairway that showed some of the finest woodwork that Sesshomaru had ever seen. All along the top of the stairwell there were frieze's a design his ancestors had taken from the ancient Greeks. And within the frieze's were engravings of his ancestors in fierce battles that had paved the way for the history that Sesshomaru now stood proud of. A history of warlords and world conqueror's, world conqueror's that the modern day humans of Kagome's time would long forget, though it was unknown to Sesshomaru. Instead they would be reduced to tales of Myths and fantasy that through time would be tossed off as fiction.

As Sesshomaru continued down into the chamber his hyper sensitive ears could catch the sound of the stairwell disappearing in behind him. Just another precaution his ancestors had set up to hide their secrets from the world. Eventually he came upon a massive room that could only be compared to that of a sparring area large enough to fit a pair of large dragons comfortably. Within this room there were hundreds of spirits moving freely about. Mere remnants of Sesshomaru's past, these were all the beings that he had ever slaughtered, and thus before him lay the main challenge to reaching the ancestral chamber, the challenge of strength. He must prove his strength to his ancestors by once again defeating his foes. But his ancestors were not cruel, these foes were considerable weaker than they had been when he destroyed them. And he wasted no time in walking through the chamber, using his acidic whips to rip and tear his way through the crowd of undead enemies.

He found little difficulty as he passed through the mob. Wasting little energy as he eliminated all that stood in his way; finally he reached the two massive doors that stood at the end of the room. Standing before the door were three mid sized dragons. Sesshomaru stood emotionless (as usual) and withdrew Tokijin, he then said "Dragon Strike," in an eerily calm voice, the attack shredding through the dragon spirits effortlessly.

Sesshomaru then walked towards the doors and prepared to face the next challenge, the challenge of Blood. He balled his ringed hand into a fist once again, he then placed it in a impression in the door and said, "I am Lord Sesshomaru Inu no Taisho, son of Takeshi Inu no Taisho. And I ask of you my ancestors for the privilege set upon me by my birthright as the heir to the Inu no Taisho blood line." He said as the ring reacted with the door, placing a small cut on his finger then using the blood to verify his claim.

After a few minutes the enormous doors, (which was engraved with the three symbols of the Inu No Taisho clan, a pale blue crescent moon, a golden sun, and a piercing black seven sided star) glowed a brilliant shade of magenta that matched perfectly to his striped markings upon his wrist. A brilliant white light then split the two doors apart, and revealed the ancestral chamber, and at the entrance to the chamber stood the origin of Sesshomaru's family, The Goddess Misaki Yuzuki (Beautiful Blossom of the Superior or Gentle Moon.)

She was truly beautiful. Her hair was nearly down to her ankles, shimmering an unimaginable shade of silver that put Sesshomaru's to shame. Her eyes were kind and gentle, both a soft and beautiful shade of magenta. Her arms and body bore not magenta markings but gold, and her cheeks were graced with three stripes each. Over her left shoulder lay her long and elegant tail, just like Sesshomaru's lay on his right hand side. He beauty was unrivaled by all the gods, he entire demeanor speaking of love and a power that was unlimited, a power she passed on to her children and descendents.

She smiled sweetly at Sesshomaru, her loving gaze bearing right through his heart, her all seeing eyes bearing witness to his past present and future. She bowed her head to him, and he instantly responded by bowing low, a sign of honour and respect.

"Sesshomaru Inu no Taisho, son of Takeshi and Naomi, in order to enter the chamber behind me you must answer me these questions three. Do you accept?" She asked, her harmonic voice resonating around the room, sending chills down his spine and a twinge of fear into his soul. This was a woman who could render armies useless with a glance, and destroy even the strongest demons with the sweep of her delicate hand.

"Yes, I am prepared to answer the sacred questions Mother Misaki Yuzuki." He responded as he bowed once again, his hair curtaining around him as he prepared to answer the three questions that had been passed down throughout the centuries.

"The first question I shall ask of you is this. Who of the Inu clan bears the marking of the Aquamarine Crescent Moon?" She asked as she closed her eyes and awaited the answer.

"The Royal males of our family bear the crescent marking, but only the current Lord and his heir." He answered as he took a deep breath.

"That is correct, now for question number two. Who bears the marking of the Golden Sun?" She asked as she opened her eyes and smiled sadly at Sesshomaru.

A tight feeling entered his chest and Sesshomaru stared past her for a moment his eyes resting on an unknown area in the ancestral chamber. "The Royal Lady of the clan, also to be known as the life partner of the current Lord; however the marking is only received after the mating ritual is complete and the woman is accepted by you Mother Misaki Yuzuki." He explained as he tried to swallow a dry lump in his throat.

"Correct and for the final question, who is the bearer of the final symbol the Seven Pointed Onyx Star?"

"The bearer of the marking of the Seven Pointed Onyx Star, is none other than you. The proud mother who eternally watches over her children with a watchful eye. And there will be one other, the destined child. Born of true love, a child who will bring balance to all that is unbalanced and heal all that which has been destroyed." He answered as he glanced up, his gaze strong as he caught hers.

"You are correct my child. You may enter the inner sanctum. And the scroll which you seek is safe; none have disturbed it in eons…" She added as she faded from view.

Sesshomaru entered the room with a steady stride, his mind still reeling form the encounter with his ancestor. He had met her many times in the past, yet every time he experienced the same foreign feeling, a feeling he had only ever felt once before. Fear. It was a feeling he had swept from his life nearly 150 years ago, during a time he refused to think about or acknowledge.

The first thing he noticed upon entering the ancestral chamber was the east wall. It held many shelves made of the purest Marble, and the shelves held dozens of urns, urns that held the ashes of his ancestors. The final two urns held his attention the most though, the first held his father, a man that he had hated since his ridiculous death. And the final held the one person that Sesshomaru refused to speak of, and the one his beast would cease to talk about.

He averted his attention from the urns to the North Wall. It held millions of scrolls, holding all the knowledge that his family had collected throughout the years. Knowledge that many of his ancestors had killed in order to obtain; however his attention was focused on finding one scroll in particular. A scroll his father had obtained a scroll on the possession marking ritual.

He found it quickly, and he wasted no time in removing the scroll form its protective encasement within the sacred scroll bindings. He then sat down on an ornate chair that was located behind a beautifully designed desk that had been obtained in a siege from Greece with his father's father. He quickly scanned through the scroll and sighed, he was right. Naraku had placed a possession marking on Miko, and this knowledge meant great suffering for her. Sesshomaru could not help but sigh in frustration and slight sadness as he read through the scroll finding about the ways to remove the marking. The results granted him very little comfort.

Meanwhile.

Kagome stared in shock at Hikari and Keiji. Hikari was still sitting on the chair near her vanity, his soft green eyes focused on her with compassion and a look of never ending sorrow. While Keiji seemed to be sizing her up, he was the first to speak and the normality of his words calmed her down. "Lady Miko, it's a pleasure to meet you. I will being training with you in the morning. You might want to get some sleep though… I won't go easy on you just because you're a Lady." He said with a wink as he bowed and left the room.

Kagome smiled softly at his words, then she sat down and watched as Rin curled up instantly against her, her little eyes already drooping as she said, "I hope you'll be okay Mommy… I love you…" and with that Rin was asleep.

Kagome then turned her attention to Hikari she thought about her question for a minute before asking, "Hikari… what is a Possession mark?"

Hikari sighed as she asked this, he had known it was coming and he could not help but ask the gods for protection as he prepared to answer her question.

"A possession mark is a mark of pure evil. It is a mark placed on one person by another, most often by a male to a female. It is a mark meant to single that person out as a well… possession of the marker's. It is also a forbidden act to place it on a person… mainly because of the after affects of the mark. You see Kagome, now that Naraku has marked you… well he can freely enter your dreams."

"And there is nothing you or anyone else can do about it. During your sleeping hours he will have free reign of your dreamscapes, giving him the ability to warp your dreams however he sees fit. While during the waking hours you will feel the mark a never ending source of pain… and the pain levels are controlled by the emotions of the marker. If he is experiencing a high level of emotion, then the pain will be excruciating, just like if his emotion level is low the pain level will simply be a low throb. Some people found the stress of mark, and the horrifying dreams to be too much, and as such many of the marked people took their lives." He explained as he fiddled unconsciously with the edge of his kimono.

"Is there a way to remove the marking?" Kagome asked slowly after letting the reality of her situation set in.

"Yes, the most obvious being to kill the marker; however in your case I understand it's not that simple. There are two other ways, the first is to drink to blood of one of the immortals, we called them the fallen… and I believe you humans refered to them as the angels… that is impossible nowadays since the angels are long extinct here on this world. They now only exist in the after life, whether it be heaven or hell. The final is for the marked to find their soul mate and mate with them. Then the mark will be replaced with a marking of pure love, but it must be pure love or the marked will die, their heart breaking from the strain." He finished as he bowed his head.

"I'm sorry My Lady, I know that this knowledge must be despairing on you… but it is the truth… however you might not have a possession marking Kagome. For example you are feeling no pain in your shoulder… correct?" He asked his face bright with hope, his hope quickly diminished when he noticed that Kagome glanced down at her bed and did not answer, instead her hand flew to her shoulder and she let out a shrill cry of pain. She did not scream for long though, she quickly passed out and found herself entering a blissfully terrifying unconsciousness. Hikari quickly ran to her side, his eyes wide with fear as he kneeled by her side and prayed to the gods for a swift resolution to Kagome's pain.

Naraku let out a deep groan of satisfaction as he reached his completion within Kikyou. His hips giving once last thrust, causing Kikyou to mimic his cry as she also reached her climax. He then reached down and bit rather roughly on her breast, sucking hard enough on it to leave a rather dark and ugly marking as he lifted his mouth. She moaned in response to his actions, a action that caused him to smile wickedly as he pulled out of her hand lay next to her, his eyes lecherously glancing up and down her body. "Remind me to thank our new ally later for her… contribution to our cause." He said as he roughly pulled her into a kiss, causing her warm blood to flow into his mouth.

"Yes, I believe she deserves much thanks… now why don't we include my new 'toy' in our next escapade tonight?" Kikyou asked seductively as she glanced over to InuYasha who was watching the couple with mild interest, his eyes racking over Kikyou wildly, his pants bulging with his want for the revived Dark Miko.

"Hmn, I do believe that that is a wonderful idea… why don't you join us InuYasha?" Naraku asked finally as he glanced up at InuYasha and beaconed him forward with one hand.

InuYasha smiled lecherously as he approached the bed, his orange eyes narrowed wickedly as he began to remove his outer shirt in anticipation for the coming activities.

To be continued…

Argh! I feel so dirty for typing that… ugh… *shudder* I hope you guys liked it… because the next one will be coming soon… all I need you to do is review… because reviews are the fuel that feed my ego and imagination .
