The Hunt

Summary: Kagome and Kikyou's mother is gone, kidnapped. Their father hears this and asks three Inu youkai, his friends, to look for the lady of their village. However, a deal is made. For the youkai to look for his wife, one of the sons of the eldest youkai must wed with one of the two daughters, who are Miko.

Hearing they must wed with one the run, thus beginning the hunt.

"Airi," Kagome said before she brought a hand to rest on the woman's shoulder. "My mother is missing." Airi looked up.

"Well, that explains it."

Airi looked Kagome head to toe. "We should get you out of that clothing." She smiled but her eyes were filled with sadness making Kagome sad but she smiled to cover it up just like Airi.

The two stood up and Kagome followed Airi as the head to a hut.

"She went left, from the blood on the ground. The two smelt a like so it's likely who ever the blood belonged to was a relative of hers." Kouga told him. Sesshomaru already figured out it was the younger one named Kagome who was dressed like the boy; now the eldest must have been the one who lost blood. Sesshomaru did not know if she was alive or dead nor did he care.

Now:

"Oi, dad!" Inuyasha shouted and walked into the room where his father was desperately trying to finish his cup of tea, "Where's the ice prick?"

"Oi, son! Said ice prick has gone out on the search for the young Lady Kagome." Inuyasha froze. No, if Sesshomaru marries Kagome he might not get to wed Kikyou then how else would he get mated, who would marry a half demon? Inuyasha slumped.

"So I got to wait till morning?"

"Why son, why do you seem so depressed?"

"It's nothing; don't think about it, I'll go get something to eat."

"Inuyasha, speak to me, do not let whatever is bothering you to hold you down."

He decided to lie; he couldn't tell his father what really was bugging him. "I really like Kikyou but I'm not sure, if Sesshomaru marries Kagome I wouldn't get to end up with Kikyou."

His father shook his head, "Weather Sesshomaru marries Kagome or not you can still have Kikyou." Inuyasha grinned.

"Thanks," he told his father and walked out leaving Toga with his tea.

"Must I wear this? I can hardly move." Kagome complained, yes she was used to stiff dressing but that did not mean she liked wearing them.

"Yes, you are a woman, skirts and dresses are what you should be accustomed to wear not men's dressings." Kagome gave her the tongue and turned so Airi could tie her obi.

"Well, if it wasn't so uncomfortable-"

"If you wore it enough it wouldn't even feel uncomfortable… there, or your doing? No? Well then." Kagome huffed and they walked out of the hut.

"Hello, mo-"

"Oh Kami… refrain from calling me mother. My name is Kagome. It is nice to meet you Sango." The woman before her had her eyes widen in happiness. The Sango girl nodded and smiled.

"It's so great I get to finally meet you Kagome."

Kagome smiled and looked around, "So other then fighting, what can we do for fun?" Airi slipped away knowing Kagome would be fine.

"Well, I can give you a tour of the village first, and then we can go play with the kids or play with the guys. They are always fun to listen to when they do not realize we're listening." Kagome smiled and nodded.

"Come, we can start with the stream of innocence." They headed past a group of kids playing with colored rocks. They walked past women playing with toddlers, too young to walk. They reached a wide stream she now noticed was bordering the entire village. "This stream is for the pure and innocent, hence the name. Those who've greatly sin are greatly pained once entering this water." Sango bent down and dipped her hands and letting it flow through. "Those who are pure come and relax in the water as a healing spring others simply bath in here." Kagome nodded and sat near it cautious not to touch the water.

"Go ahead, you must be the most pure adult in this village, you shouldn't fear less you have guilt ridding in you." Kagome nodded, at that moment she had tremendous guilt overpowering her heart. She stood.

"Let's continue with the tour." Sango frowned but then stood.

"Alright, how about I show you the village?"

Kagome looked confused. "These are simply the outskirts of the village. You have yet to completely enter and see the everyday life of others." Kagome nodded.

"So tell me the history of this place." She told Sango as they walked along the stream to head deeper into the village seeing more huts and clearings.

"Your grandmother started this place. Well she found a long stream and an empty space. With her were many people whom came from retched homes. Your grandmother was a traveling Miko and loved to help others. Those who came with her on her travels learned her ways, her way of being calm in hectic times, to love others no matter what. She found this place and made this colony. I do not know much, people around here do not speak much about what happened next so…"

"It's alright.." Kagome told here. Men came by one by one, smiling at her. Word must have gotten out that she was not yet wedded. She looked around and towards the back of the cluster of huts to see public baths. She smiled, she would love to stay here but she froze, where was her sister?

"You told me to come?" Kikyou asked as she entered the main room. It was fairly empty. There was only a low table and cushions surrounding it. He sat all the way in the corner with his face toward the window, he really did look handsome.

"Naraku, that is my name, you may address me as such." Kikyou nodded and smiled. "I want you to stay here with me."

"Oh, but I can't; my sister must be awaiting my return. I mustn't keep her worried."

"Let us bring her here then. You and your sister can stay here and will live together. I will give you anything just to keep you here; you must be the most beautiful woman I-"

"Please, you flatter me. I would love to stay here however my sister staying here is another idea. Maybe we should find her and ask her. She may visit and-"

"Wonderful idea my dear, we can search for her and ask her to stay or at least visit; now we must inform your father."

"No! My father needn't know simply my sister." Kikyou was eager, she got a way to stay away from her father's home and she get to stay with such a lovely person, she was curious on why he had a demon as a pet but once their trust grew larger she believed that he would tell her. She would be much delighted to be wedded with this man.

"So Kikyou, I suggest you stay the night and tomorrow we call to your sister to give her your answer." Kikyou nodded with a smile.

"Little Miko, what are you doing so far from home?" It said and Kikyou narrowed her eyes, he had a demonic aura.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?" She asked it bringing her bow up and picking an arrow from the bunch she had.

"Who am I? Your master, what do I want from you? Your heart, soul, and body." He told her and before she could have launched an arrow, a green tentacle shot out from him and went into her. She let out scream as she dropped down to the ground.

"Yes, scream for me…" It said and Kikyou saw black.

Kikyou flinched from the vision and looked back at Naraku. He was beautiful. She thought about it, the shine from the outdoors did make him seem a bit demonic. He had the sneaky smirk to him. It had her worrying about the choice she had just made.

"Eat," he told the kids and they stared at him. His eyebrows rose to them and they quickly ate their fill. "Good, now we are going in search for the girl."

"Which girl, the bleeding one or the one who is dressed as a man?" Rin asked and Sesshomaru looked over to her. She kept her innocent smile up.

"The latter."
