Tension
Sango
Inhaling sharply, I awoke from my horrible nightmare. Things were happening so fast, Kagome was kidnapped, we were all almost killed and Naraku had once again stolen something precious from us.
With sweat beading at my forehead, I finally toke a look at my surroundings and realized I was in the cozy home of Kaede. Further calming my nerves, was the lingering smell of Kaede's special rabbit porridge.
Smiling to myself, I looked next to me to see Miroku still sleeping silently. I blushed at first, but I knew we had both came to terms with our feelings for each other a long time ago and it wouldn't be right for me to shy away from him now.
With a small ounce of courage and still a creeping blush on my face, I laid back down with Miroku, only this time I snuggled closer to him and pulled the itchy blanket around us.
Inuyasha
I was back at the site where Naraku cowardly ambushed us. He must have smartened up by hiding his scent along with Kagome's while we were unconscious. Damnit! How are we suppose to find Kagome when there were absolutely NO leads.
A thought came into my head then, over these pasts years I've spent with Kagome and the gang, I realized that we were only at our strongest and our brightest when we all put in the same effort.
Damnit, I hate to remind everyone of the catastrophic event that had happened no longer than two days ago, but this was a dire moment. The longer Kagome stayed with Naraku the more her innocence could be tainted by his evilness; the more she could change when she's back with me.
Securing my Tetsuiga with a new resolve forming in front of me, I made my way back to Kaede's village to plan our next move with Sango and Miroku.
Miroku
I was awoken by a light and slightly annoying nudging movement in front of me. With a groan, I opened my eyes to see Sango stirring in her sleep.
"Sango...Sango wake up" I nudged her.
She blinked her eyes open, and looked up at me from my chest. God she looked so adorable right now, if only I could keep this image of her forever.
"Wha-what's wrong Miroku?" she asked rubbing her eyes.
I shook my head and smiled, I really hated to remind her of something so horrible. "We can't rest around for too long, we have to save Kagome very soon" I told her.
She scrunched her eyebrows together in confusion and shook her head.
"What do you mean save Kagome? She's back in her own time, she's safer there then here"
Thats when I gave her the same confused look, did she really not remember Kagome getting kidnapped by Naraku?
"Tell me something Sango, does your head hurt at all?" I asked.
She sat up slightly and grimaced, nodding a little. That's when I noticed the blood stains on the mat where we were laying. Sango must have hit her head from the force of the blast Naraku shot at Inuyasha. If that's the case, Sango doesn't need to be reminded that her best friend, whom she loves dearly, was kidnapped and may very well already be dead at the hands of the same person who killed her brother.
No, Sango didn't need a whole other weight of pain on her shoulders. No, I'll take the burden for her this time.
Kanna
Darkness, darkness everyday. Everything meant nothing while everything meant something, all so confusing. Naraku is up to the same evil schemes again, always plotting like the youkai he is, yet I stand by his side.
Why? Why do I follow behind his will? Do I have an important part to play in this show of madness and death? Enough, enough with these questions, I only need answers.
Answers I will find myself, yes I have my own resolve, my own purpose.
What of the girl? Kagome? The miko? Yes, her. She's a special one indeed, the one who's own soul was too large for me to steal and hold for Naraku at one time. Yes, that one, that's her.
She has joined with the purest of evil with open arms, tainting herself and leaving her innocence behind to wither and die. What is she thinking? Yes, why has she done this? Is this fun for her? Is she deluded into thinking that this whole thing is a big sandbox for her child self to play in?
Now I know the true reason behind Kagura's words: "Stupid ningen has gotten herself into a pit of quicksand" Yes, Kagura was right. This road in which the young miko has taken can only and inevitably lead to death, despair, and destruction.
Naraku
Everything was coming together nicely. Kagome was rising in the ranks and getting stronger every moment of her days. The only thing I'm questioning now is wether or not I'll wish to dispose of her when her use is no longer needed.
It's not like I'll need her to search for shikon jewels, since I already have them all, and after she kills Inuyasha I don't need her ningen heart to get in the way of killing the other ningens of her little group as well.
No matter, if I wanted the others humans dead too I could always tell Hakudoshi to do it. Then there was also that blasted Sesshomaru, if he could have a problem with my reign of terror he'd be hassle none the less, and I would inevitably loose some valuable pieces.
Hmmm, I might train Kagome the art of stealth so she could spy on Sesshomaru for any weaknesses he might have. He wouldn't expect anything from the miko he 'thinks' he knows. Or worst case scenario, I would have to actually take matters into my own hands.
Kagome
I crouched down in a tree, and just barely escaped a spiritual arrow whizzing past my face. The sudden movement from me caused the tree branch to sway and finally snap under the pressure.
I screamed on the way down and landed straight on my back, coughing up blood as a result. Muttering curses to myself, I scrambled out of the way of another arrow grazing my ankle.
"This no longer holds any entertainment for me anymore, it's no longer a lesson but a situation of predator and prey"
I gave her a smug look and she pursed her lips and loaded three arrows onto the bow at one time. My body now going into overdrive, I dodged every single one to the best of my ability.
"Is that all you can do, ningen? Dodge? You are a pathetic immitation of me" she laughed.
Smirking, I put up my fists and ran at inhumane speeds and punched her square in the face. My eyes widened when she didn't fly back like I had hoped, she only touched her face as if she had just been slapped.
Slowly, a crack spread in the spot where I had striked her leading down to her neck. She put down her bow and arrows and walked away from me, that's when I remembered she was more like a clay doll then a ningen miko.
"You've done well for your first lesson from me, I will go collect more souls, you on the other hand will get cleaned up and wait in your room for Naraku"
I nodded and bowed slightly. "Thank you for this opportunity"
She looked back at me and nodded; resuming her exit.
Glaring, I walked back to the mountain. Over these past days, my attire had changed. Hakudoshi kept complaining how he kept spotting my panties everytime I raised my leg up to kick him, and that's why he was so distracted.
Naraku didn't really seem to buy that ,but made me change anyway. Now what I wore every now and then was a simple tight fitted hakuma that matched Naraku's robe with white flowers, Naraku also knew I had to be able to fight in this so he tore the side up to my hip.
Thanks to my rigorous training with Kikyo, my hakuma was torn down my torso and a large tear ran from my shoulder to my lower back. Naraku was not going to be pleased.
xXx
I arrived at the entrance to the mountain and immediately saw Naraku standing there waiting on me as usual.
"So how was today's training Kagome?"
Bowing quickly, I had to avoid looking at him in his eyes.
"It...it was fine Master-sama"
Before I could muster enough courage to at least look at his chest, he was holding my chin fairly gently.
"You should look at me when you speak, otherwise I'll think your lying"
He glanced down at my torn clothes and smirked. "I guess today was a little rough?"
His hand brushed against my breast and I bit my lip looking away again. He roughly this time, made me look at him by tugging on my chin.
"Should I punish you Kagome?"
I almost wanted to say yes, but I shook my head no anyway.
He sniffed the air around me and soon I had my arms pinned above my head.
"You are aroused by this are you not?" he asked.
I didn't respond and he put his hand under my ass and squeezed roughly, I cried out in pain/pleasure and he chuckled.
"There's no mistaking it now, your utterly captivated by me aren't you miko? How...sweet"
He had my body pinned against the wall of the mountain not too far from the entrance and my legs wrapped around his torso. Pushing my long bangs away from my face, he roughly smashed his lips on to mine and invaded my mouth with his tongue.
I quietly moaned and he grabbed at my thighs hungrily. I knew what he wanted and I could see how much he yearned for it by his eagerness. The question was, was I willing to give it to him so easily?
Hakudoshi
Disgusting, absolutely disgusting. How could Naraku ever indulge in such a worthless ningen like that stupid miko? He also denied ever finding interest in that girl in the first place yet he's here...
I also couldn't blame Naraku, yes, he had Kagura and Kikyo to play with but he's had them so many times that it got boring; besides..that Kagome girl is such a tease.
Just that hakuma she wears is a problem, the way it curves around her slender body in all the right ways, and because it's ript on the side it shows her thighs and a small speck of her rear if you have the right view.
The damn thing also shows off her desirable breasts as well, I don't know what that girl consumes but it seems like she grew two sizes in two weeks. Still, she isn't fit to be desired by someone of my caliber, no matter how much her body yearns to be touched and caressed or fucked.
No, she will never experience the wonders of my touches, no matter how much she begs.
Kagura
I would've never thought that Kagome girl would ever leave inuyasha. It shocked me because the human heart is usually so weak and pathetic, and coming from a girl like Kagome it was really unexpected.
Why am I even worrying about this anyway? It's not like I see the girl as a friend and I only want to see her the way I use to, no, I only care about my freedom.
Everytime I'm ordered to take care of that girls wounds, she seems to change into a darker and darker person each time. I don't know what type of torture they are putting her through, but whatever it is it changed her demeanor in such a evil and ruthless way.
She was always optimistic if I can remember all the times I've encountered her with inuyasha, and always hoped for the best in everyone...even me. Now? She's just on her way to becoming a mini-female version of Naraku , and honestly that's what scared me the most.
Everyone is gonna have a new enemy on their hands, and she'll be a tough one to bring down, if she's ever brought down. I just hope inuyasha can get here fast enough to change her back to her original self.
Kikyo
Things were not as I predicted, nor as I wanted. The girl Kagome has betrayed inuyasha and I couldn't say wether I was happy or not. That girl made inuyasha somewhat happy and peaceful, now he has nothing...no one. Foolish hanyou, he thinks that this is just another wicked action performed by Naraku when really it was a nasty betrayal from Kagome.
I glanced up at the moon as my soul collectors hovered around me, constantly giving me souls as I watch the night sky. A couple of twigs snapped and I stood up quickly gathering my bow.
Using my miko senses, I could tell it was a hanyou.
"Inuyasha..." I spoke out loud.
He appeared out of the shadows with a determined yet soft look on his face. Naraku always used me to get to inuyasha, inuyasha was just too stupid to stop letting that happen.
"Kikyo..."
His voice came out stern and ready, I slightly wondered if he was going to ask me to fight him.
"What brings you here inuyasha?" I asked. "you want answers of some sort"
I played on the line of me actually knowing about Kagome to me not knowing, and I could see the little gears in inuyasha's head going into overdrive trying to figure this out.
"Kagome was kidnapped a while ago...I wondered if you knew anything. After all you are in some sort of allegiance with him aren't you?" he snorted.
The side of my mouth quirked at the lack of respect inuyasha usually held for me.
"You accuse me of working with a demon like Naraku? I thought you knew better then that"
He narrowed his eyes at me then.
"You really expect me to believe any of the shit coming out of your mouth? Or do you think I'm stupid? OR you just forgot that you tried to kill me I don't how many times" he clenched his fists. "I am not that stupid little kid anymore, I'm smarter now"
This tickled me. He was smarter now? Okay, he's so smart that he didn't notice that kagome's heart darkened every time he went to see me. He was SO smart that he didn't know that right now, Kagome was being ravished by Naraku.
"You are correct about one thing inuyasha, you are no longer the hanyou I first met when I was alive, but you still are indeed stupid"
A/N PHEW! That was a long one, I'm so tired. The hours I put in for you guys sometimes smh, besides my iPad is about to die right now anyway. Just for the record I grew up Hakudoshi by many many years sooooo yeah, he's actually old enough now to start knowing and lusting after women. Kanna on the other hand will forever be a child in my story xD Happy Readings ^^ -sasusakui
