Chapter 5

Tricky ground

 

 

“I-Inuyasha!” Kagome stuttered, taking a step back. The trunk of the scentless plant dug into her jumper, catching on the wool. Kagome winced as the branches brushed her bandaged chest, and quickly adjusted it in her arms.

The hanyou's expression softened a little as he tucked his arms in his red billowing sleeves.

“Shippo said you were hurt- are you ok now?”

Kagome blinked, her temples throbbing a little at all the thoughts buzzing around her head. Her emotions were in ruins; despite being mad at him for the night before, guilty because she had spent time with Kurama-not to mention kissing Yoko twice-she still had a tiny flicker of joy at seeing that he cared.

“I'm fine,” Kagome said, looking away from his scrutinizing amber orbs,

“That guy you saw was my friend Kurama, and he healed my wound. He gave me this plant too because it's…um…medicine!”

Kagome hoped that Inuyasha won't be able to tell she was lying.

Why do I feel like I have something to hide? Actually, that's a stupid question…

Inuyasha frowned, before crossing his legs and sitting down. Kagome just looked at him, wondering what he was doing.

“Ano, Inuyasha? Why are you sitting down?”

The hanyou looked up at her with a cross expression.

“Why the hell do you think? You've got some explaining to do, Kagome!”

“Oh yeah?” Kagome replied, her heart hammering against her chest. Her head was woozy with fatigue, and she just wanted to go to bed.

“Exactly what do I have to explain?”

“Keh! How about the fact a kitsune was slinking around the well, claiming you kissed him, for starters?”

Kagome felt her face flush and she squeaked, “Osuwari!”

As the hanyou thudded into the earth, Kagome regained her composure, retorting,

“Like you can act all innocent! What were you up to last night? Don't try and make me feel guiltily!”

Inuyasha pushed himself up in time for Kagome to breeze by to the house.

“Oi! Kagome! What do you mean?”

“Oh shut up! You know fine well! Osuwari!”

 

 

Kagome's face was scarlet by the time she had reached her room. She was so angry.

How dare he! How dare he? It's the typical male way of thinking- he can go off with other women- or one in particular- yet he gets one hint that I've done something and I'm the bad one!

Kagome pulled out her new school uniform, scrunching up the carrier bag with a clenched fist. It was only as she was hanging the fuku up that she realised there was something pinned inside the green and white collar. Kagome pulled it out, and saw it was a folded up piece of paper. At first Kagome thought it was the receipt, but she realised there was something concealed inside. Intrigued, Kagome sat down on her bed and opened what she realised was a note.

Kagome,

No doubt you will bump into Yoko again on your return to the Feudal Era. He had told me he can't remember your meeting, but he advises you to be cautious. Yoko will no doubt try and steal back the tama- kitsune have a strong sense of pride, and Yoko is no acceptation. I know he will not harm you, but still be careful. If you tell him about me, here is a seed to confirm what you say is true. He will know what it is.

Kurama

 

 

Kagome picked up the seed between her thumb and forefinger. It was unremarkable, and Kagome wondered what it could be. She slipped it into her pocket, and crunched up the note. Inuyasha didn't know Kurama was an avatar to Yoko- and she didn't want him too, either.

The scrunched up ball of paper hit the side of Kagome's bin with a loud rattle. Kagome stretched, and not bothering to change out of her borrowed jumper, fell asleep on her bed.

 

 

Kagome blinked her eyes, rubbing them with the side of her hand. She was lying in her sleeping bag in Kaede's hut. Shippo was nearby- she could just see the tuff of his tail over the lump that was her legs under the covers. Miroku and Sango were sleeping in each others arms. Kagome frowned, rubbing her eyes again.

Wait a minute…Sango…willingly sleeping beside Miroku?

Kagome could distantly see Sango lying with her head on Miroku's chest, while the monk's usually wandering hand was wrapped around her waist.

Kagome stretched her neck, her eyes narrowing in disbelief.

His hand isn't even on her butt!

Shrugging of the strange feeling around her, Kagome got up and exited the hut. It was dark outside, but Kagome felt her feet walking into the forest. There was a strange keening call, and Kagome knew immediately what it was.

The soul snatchers…

Knowing undoubtedly what would be around the corner, Kagome turned away from the noise, but the forest was pitch black now and the knurled tree branches reached out as if to grab her. Kagome frantically tried to run out from where she had came from, but she bumped into something hard. Looking up, Kagome caught a pair of emerald eyes staring down at her. Arms came around her waist, and ruby locks blew in the non-existent breeze.

“K-Kurama?” Kagome asked, her voice sounding like it was under water, “What are you doing here? How-”

“Yoko says he won't harm you,” Kurama interrupted, “But you have to be careful,”

Kagome blinked at him, resting her hands against his chest.

“Why are you saying that?” she asked, scared by the way she couldn't feel Kurama under her fingers, “You said that in the note too- why are you saying it?”

But before she had even finished her sentence, Kurama had transformed under her fingertips. He grew taller and muscular, his scarlet hair staining silver. His eyes flashed gold, and Kagome cried, “Yoko?”

Then a dark look crept across his face, just like the one Kagome had seen when under the kitsune's flashback technique.

He raised his right hand, and the moonlight caught on his long claws.

“Yoko!” Kagome exclaimed, her mind blank as his claws swiped at her chest.

 

 

Kagome sat up in bed with a start, sweat sticking to her rumpled fringe. Her breath was coming hard and fast, and her hand was pressed against her chest. She thought she could feel her heartbeat through the jumper and bandages, jumping along the cuts of her wound.

What a horrible dream…

Kagome looked outside, gasping when she saw the last of the day was fading into an orange sunset.

How long have I been sleeping?

“Onee-san!”

Kagome looked away from the window, seeing her brother looking shocked in the doorway, “I didn't know you were home! Where's Inu onii-chan ?”

Good question…

“I don't know,” Kagome replied snappily, in a bad mood already. Her brother scarpered, and Kagome sighed, rubbing her eyes from the tightness of sleep. She shut the door, and pulled off her jumper. The bandages didn't have much blood on them, she was glad to notice. Kagome, having learned her lesson, took off the tama and laid it on top of the jumper as she undid the strips of material. As they finally unravelled, Kagome gasped. The wounds had healed completely, leaving only three diagonal scars, and one piece of torn skin where the tama had caught the time before. Kagome pulled open her drawers, and put on a bra and a red cotton shirt. Kagome carefully put the tama back on. She then looked at her backpack, sighing.

I suppose I should go back now…

 

 

 

After a quick stock up of ramen and a few words of concern from her mama, Kagome was sitting on the other side of the well.

I really can't face seeing Inuyasha…that baka, not even bothering to come back for me…

Kagome sighed, and was about to trod off to Kaede's hut when a scream filled the air. It clenched at Kagome's heart, and made her the fine hair on her arms stand on end.

What was that?

It sounded like a girl's scream, and it was coming from the opposite side of the Inuyasha forest. Kagome hesitated, dithering between what to do. She finally shook off the traces from her nightmare, and headed towards the sound of the scream.

 

 

Yoko was lounging in a particularly comfortable tree. His eyelids were fluttering shut- the kitsune had been stalking that idiotic well the whole day, waiting for the miko's return, and trying to keep away from the hanyou. He had returned without her hours ago, Yoko couldn't help but notice happily. The hanyou smelled pretty pissed off about something, and the way he stomped away from the well made the kitsune smirk.

Now, just as Yoko was flitting between sleep and consciousness, a female human's scream filled the air.

Yoko barely batted a lid- literally. Women often got lost in these forests- it was only natural some harm should come to them- whether it be from their kind or his.

The silver kitsune was about to drift off again when a familiar scent swept past him. There was a crackling of twigs, and before Yoko could open both eyes, a female had run past him, under his tree and through the overgrowth.

Kagome!

Yoko frowned, uncurling himself from the branches. The scream had come in the opposite direction- yet why was Kagome running towards it?

Curious as always, more so since the miko was involved, Yoko slinked through the forest, keeping a pace or two behind Kagome. He could smell two men now, filthy and blood-covered, even by human standards.

What on earth is Kagome thinking?

Yoko darted into a tree, and watched the scene unfold through the branches.

 

 

Kagome couldn't stop herself crying out as she reached the girl. The two men were obviously trying to have their wicked way with her, as she was crying and her clothes were torn. One had her arms pinned behind her. He had long, tangled hair and squinty eyes, probably from too much sake, Kagome thought. The other, who had a small dagger at her throat at the girl's throat, was bald and squat, with a bristly moustache. A basket of wild mushrooms and herbs had spilled at the girl's feet. She heard Kagome's cry, and looked up at her, the desperation clear in her damp, swirling eyes.

“Miko-sama! Help me!”

Kagome recognised the girl from the village. She couldn't remember her name, but she was around her own age, and very shy. Her usually well kept hair was spilling from its clasp, and tears stained her pale face. Kagome's legs were trembling at the sight, but her voice remained firm.

“Release her now!” she demanded, taking what she hoped looked like a defensive pose.

All those years of watching anime have paid off!

“If you don't, you'll have to face the consequences!”

“Hah!” The man holding the dagger smirked, “We aren't youkai, miko! You can't purify us!”

The girl in their grasp whimpered, and Kagome cursed at not having her bow and arrows.

“You think so?” Kagome retorted with a cold smile, “You want to take the chance?”

“What kind of miko wears kimono that short anyway?” interrupted the other man, licking his lips, “Neh, Iida, have you ever tasted miko? They are usually virgins, aren't they?”

Kagome swallowed as the other man smirked as released the girl. She fell, trembling, into the grass, crying, “Miko-sama! Run!”

Kagome realised what a stupid mistake she had made. Here she was again, charging straight into danger.

I've done it this time…

Kagome clenched her fists to stop her body shaking as she carefully eyed both men as they stood up. She took careful steps back, calculating how quickly she could lead them back to the well. Once there…well, Kagome hadn't thought that far ahead yet.

“Miko-sama!” the girl screamed as the men advanced on her with swords drawn. Kagome felt her courage escape her in the face of the steel, cruel weapons. Their wielders walked forward, and Kagome got ready to run.

 

 

Yoko watched in fascination as Kagome attempted to threaten the two armed men. He was disgusted at the act they had been about to commit- humans surely were the worst of all races. The kitsune delved frequently in the act of love, but never without consent. Then again, thought Yoko with a smirk, who in the right mind would refuse him?

Yoko was drawn back down to the developing drama below as he heard Kagome's sharp intake of breath. The kitsune saw that the two men's attention was now on her, and heard one comment, “Neh, Iida, have you ever tasted miko? They are usually virgins, aren't they?”

Yoko gritted his teeth, an undeniable surge of anger bubbling through his insides. The kitsune could sense Kagome's tenseness, and Yoko saw the two men get up, throwing the other girl, sobbing, to the ground. The kitsune drew his knees into a pouncing position, and ran his fingers through his hair.

Well, maybe I should let her sweat it out a little. That can be my pay back for her stealing the tama.

 

 

Kagome didn't want to turn her back on these men, but the thought of running backwards wasn't too appealing either.

“Help us! For the love of Kami, someone!”

Kagome ignored the girl's shout. She knew no one would come. They were in a dense part of the forest, where only youkai dwelled. None, she was certain, would raise a finger to help.

Oh Inuyasha, where are you?

One of the men raised his sword and grinned, “Lay on the ground and we won't hurt you,”

“Alright,” Kagome agreed, lying down, “But you have to lower your swords,”

“Miko-sama!” gasped the girl. Kagome heard a sort of choking sound from the trees above them, but her mind was in such overdrive she didn't give it a thought. She smiled warmly at the men as they sheathed their swords, and even allowed her skirt to ride up as she sat on the ground. She saw their eyes, blinded by the dull haze of lust, and knew it was her chance.

“Ha!” Kagome sprang up, kicking one man between the legs while she punched the other hard in the jaw.

I didn't hang about with a pervert monk, feisty Taiyjia and a violent hanyou for nothing!

As the men groaned and faltered, Kagome jumped past them, grabbing the bewildered girl's arm.

“Let's go!” Kagome gasped, running through the trees and pulling the girl behind her, “Are you alright now- what was your name?”

“Junko. Arigato miko-sama, for saving me!”

“No worries,” Kagome panted, dodging a tree root, “Just take a sword or something next time you go mushroom hunting, okay?”

“Hai!” The girl stumbled behind her, and Kagome pulled her up again, but she could hear the furious shouts beyond the trees.

“Go!” Kagome pushed the girl past her, “Hide!”

As Kagome was about to dash behind an overgrown thorny bush, the men burst through the trees. She dived just in time for a dagger to whiz past her. It whacked into the trunk of the tree behind her with a sharp thud. Kagome looked up, her face no longer hiding her emotions. No tricks were going to save her from these hyped up horny bandits.

Kagome felt as though ice was running through her veins, and she had seen jelly less wobbly than her legs in their current state.

“Right, bitch,” one of the men hissed, closing the metre or so before them, “This is going to hurt!”

Kagome didn't notice the groan of the tree behind her, or the few leaves that drifted onto her hair as something gained purchase in its branches. Nor did she see the two tiny seeds that flicked past her, landing bang in the middle of the little space between her and the men. What she did notice was the rumbling of the ground, as the earth cracked and split. Kagome scrambled on her hands and knees out of the way, as the forest floor gave birth to two humongous plants. They were leafy and green, save for the vibrant violet heads that were made of many petals. The plants had no eyes, made many rows of sharp ivory teeth. Kagome could only stare wide-eyed in horror as the two bandits fought off the plants, only to be consumed with screams by their many teeth. Kagome turned away in shock, still hearing the screams echoing through the forest as the plants closed their bloodstained mouths. She tried to get up, but her legs had completely given up on her.

“Junko? Are you here?”

Receiving no reply, Kagome staggered to her feet, keeping the plants in her sight. It was only when she was wondering why they hadn't attacked her yet that she found herself pulled with a thump to the ground. Kagome shrieked as she realised a leafy root had wrapped around her ankle, and was now dragging her to the awaiting plants.

“Chikushou!” Kagome exclaimed, tugging uselessly at the strong bind pulling her across the ground. She raked her fingers into the earth, dirt clumping in her nails. But the plants were too strong, and just when Kagome had guessed her fate was to be eaten alive, she was hauled backwards by a pair of strong hands under her arms. The plants immediately calmed their gnashing of teeth and grew still.

Before Kagome even turned around, before she had even registered the hands fall to rest on her waist, she knew who it was.

Yoko…

He pulled her to her feet without a word, though Kagome would have bet a lifetime supply of Ramen that he was smirking. Kagome felt as though she was in her nightmare again. Time seemed to have slowed, though her heart was still pounding, and she was aware of the blood rushing through her veins.

“I know he will not harm you, but still be careful,”

The words from Kurama's note echoed in a faraway voice in Kagome's head.

How can Kurama be so sure? From what he told me, Yoko had no time for humans until he became one with Kurama, and received love from his mother.

Kami help me…

A lock of silver hair spilled over her shoulder as Yoko's lips brushed her ear. The arm around her waist tightened and Kagome felt her back push against Yoko's taunt chest.

“That was a close call, Kagome,”

She let out a breath she hadn't even realised she had been holding.

“Yoko,” she said in what she hoped to be a calm voice, “Arigato so much-Yoko? Yoko! What are you doing?!?”

For the kitsune had began to walk forward with her, and Kagome saw with growing trepidation that the plants were coming back to life, shaking their leafy heads and opening their mouths like hungry birds.

“Yoko!” Kagome shouted, wriggling in his hold, “Wait! What are you doing?”

“You tricked me, Kagome,” he spoke softly, and a chill went up Kagome's spine.

Surely…he isn't going to kill me?!?

“Wait Yoko! I have something to tell you! Stop, for Kami's sake!”

Kagome tried to walk backwards, but Yoko's grip was firm and unrelenting. Kagome was babbling now, as the plants seemed to reach for her, straining their necks and crushing teeth that were a hair's breadth away.

“Onegai, Yoko! Listen to me!”

The kitsune stopped, and Kagome was too overwhelmed with relief to speak. She was shaking a little, blinking as she tried to rid her eyes of their watery vision.

But then he moved again, and Kagome could feel the rumble as he chuckled against her.

“Iya!” she cried, straining out of the plant's reach unsuccessfully and closing her eyes.

“What are you afraid for?”

Kagome continued to brace herself, wondering when it would hurry up and eat her. Her eyes snapped opened and her heart leapt as something touched her cheek. Kagome realised with utter shock it was the petals of the plants, and they were nuzzling into her.

“You didn't think I would let them hurt you, did you?” smirked Yoko, reaching out and stroking one plant on its head. It cooed, and Kagome pulled away from him, her heart still wound as tight as a drum.

“You horrible- crafty-sneaky-kitsune!” Kagome shouted, finally facing him. His eyes were alight with mischief and his arms were folded regally as his lips played into a quirk. Dangling from one hand was the chain of the shikon-no-tama, the broken jewel the same colour as the plant's petals.

I fell for it! Kurama warned me he'd try and get it back- and I let him!

“I hate you!” Kagome said furiously, “And how dare you take the lives of two men just to play a nasty trick!”

“Come now,” Yoko said, snapping his fingers. The plants let out a whine before making a choking noise and spitting out their latest meal. Kagome's eyes doubled in size as she saw the two men land with a thud on the forest floor. They were covered in a red sort of goo, but otherwise in one piece.

Yoko sighed dramatically before crossing over to the men, and prodding them with one foot.

“Really, you think you would be grateful- I did save your live after all. But, if you do so prefer the company of these men, I will of course awaken them and leave you all alone,”

Kagome bit her lip, still annoyed at herself for falling into Yoko's trap. It had been so convincing too- and the red liquid on the plant's teeth had looked like blood.

Yoko twirled the tama on one elegant finger, and said, “Well?”

Kagome raised her eyebrows. She wasn't one to plead for mercy, and despite that, she knew Yoko had saved her for a reason. It wasn't like he couldn't have gotten the tama from her dead body.

The kitsune eyed Kagome readily, and then turned his back.

“In that case, arigato for the tama, Kagome. I shall be going now,”

Kagome was rubbing her side, irritated, knowing she couldn't stop him this time. Not only that, but it had hurt being dragged along the ground.

And now Inuyasha's going to kill me for losing the tama.

Stupid, stupid males and their massive egos!

Then Kagome felt the little bulge in her pocket, and smiled.

“I still have something to tell you,”

Yoko's ear flicked and Kagome grinned, knowing she had his attention. She drew out the seed that Kurama had given her, and held it up, between two fingers. Yoko turned, his face a mask of disinterest. But it slipped once he saw what she was holding.

“I'll do you a deal,” Kagome said, tilting her head, “I'll trade you this seed for the tama,”

Yoko laughed, and pulled a seed out his hair as he walked over to Kagome. She waited as he stopped directly in front of her, and held his seed against hers.

They're identical!

“As you can see,” Yoko purred, “I have no use for your little seed,”

Kagome regarded the two seeds with a straight face.

Ok, pal. So you don't want the seed. But I know how curious kitsune are!

“You must be slipping, Yoko,” Kagome said sweetly, “Isn't that twice I've stolen from you now?”

Yoko's eyes darkened, and Kagome heart skipped a beat. But he simply reached out and grabbed her wrist. Kagome's hand tightened instinctively on her prize, but Yoko didn't try and take it. Instead, he held Kagome's wrist up to his nose.

“I didn't notice it before,” He said, frowning, “But you have no other scent on you. How can this be so? Surely your own should be mixed with mine, the little kit's, and even that hanyou,”

“Maybe I had a bath,” Kagome replied.

“Maybe you did,” agreed Yoko, his eyes focused on Kagome's as he tried to work out the riddle, “But some scent would still cling to you- water alone can't remove such scents.”

“Maybe I used the scentless petal plant,” Kagome said offhandedly.

“I see,” Yoko now cradled Kagome's wrist in his, his palm folded under her hand as he inspected the seed further,

“I knew you couldn't steal this seed from my hair without my notice,”

Yoko frowned slightly as he thought.

“So, you must know a highly skilled kitsune, probably from where ever that well takes you,”

Yoko didn't like this idea at all. He didn't like to think the miko might know another kitsune, whose powers could exceed his. Only silver kitsune could use the seed Kagome held in her palm, and only very experienced kitsune knew how to develop a plant without a scent.

In that case, is she friendly with this kitsune?

More than friendly- which is why she uses the scentless petals- to cover his smell from the possessive hanyou?

“Not only that,” Yoko continued, “He has given you this seed, as well as the scentless petal plant.”

“Or,” Kagome said with secret smile, “It could have been you. 500 years in the future”.

 

So, arigato as always for the great reviews! Hope you enjoyed this chappy! I don't know how it got so long lol! Though this story is going to be a big one!

FanFiction.net:

Mdjw-muse911: I'm glad you're enjoying it so far! My chapters always used to be short, but I've managed to increase them! I'm glad you like the Japanese words too- I think they add a little culture to fan fiction! Hope you enjoyed this chapter!

IchikoKitsuneKoumouori: Lol well I'm afraid even that wouldn't be right! I can't say anymore or I'll give all my plot lines away, but I have changed it to many pairings, though I'm not too happy with that definition!

Silentangelwings: This story is set to be pretty packed, so I hope you enjoy! Keep up the RnR-ing!

SilentAssassin: Hey! Glad to here it! It's so unusual to here from people from the UK- though I'm from Scotland, not England lol! I always try to be original, so I'm glad you think so! I haven't even decided the ending pairing myself, though I can say there will be more Kurama/Yoko/Kagome interaction than with Inuyasha!

Luvinlife56: Glad you think so!

Phoenixafyre: I hear you! I'm an Inuyasha/Kagome fan first, but this idea came to me and wouldn't let me go! I see what you mean about Kagome not ending up with them- as before, I still don't know who Kags will get! As for mad ramblings- the madder (and longer!) the better!

MediaMiner.org:

Elemental_Dea: Glad you're enjoying so far! Hope it stays interesting for you!

Miss Mischief: As you wish!

FoxVixen(nli): Aw! I'm glad you think so! Arigato!

Lil Rin: I know what you mean. It usually turns out with Inuyasha being totally out of character and a real nasty guy. There are many arguments to come between the two though, so I hope I manage to keep them in character!

MoonKnightess: Well, I've not decided on the pairings myself lol! Though it won't be a strictly two person relationship! I know it's been done- one thing I always strive for it originality- I don't see the point in recreating stories that have been out there already. Kagome won't be rewriting the past- in the long term, she isn't going to affect the way Kurama is now. I can't really say anymore- so I hope you continue to read and enjoy!

Kagome Lady of Darkness: Glad you enjoyed!

Renata-sama: Wow, you've reviewed a lot! (Though I'm not complaining one bit!) I'll try and answer all your reviews in one go!

Firstly, I'm glad you are enjoying this fic! I'm afraid Inuyasha is part of this pairing-hopefully you won't stop reading because of that! I promise you'll like him once I'm done!

And you're right, it is more like a love pentagon- though believe me, it just gets bigger! As for the demon years explanation, I will try if I can get around to it. I did try to type up an explanation in the last chapter, but it was so complicated I thought nah! Anyway, many people have used the `demon years' theory, and I really didn't want to get involved in that!

I'm glad you've noticed my storyline is original- I hate finding stories that are just copies of each other with a few details changed! It's so easy to fall in this trap, so I strive to be creative with my plots! As for being stuck with you, it suits me! I'm very happy to have such an appreciate reader!

I'm glad you noticed I'm letting Kagome enjoy her kisses- a main theme in this story will be how Kagome will be juggling many feelings, relationships and experiences as the one time- but don't worry, cos' she'll be enjoying them! I totally agree that you should be proud with who you make love with- otherwise, don't do it!

I love leaving my chapters on cliff-hangers- that way I know you'll all come back!

I'm interested that English isn't your native (or even second!) language. You speak it very well! Just out of interest-you don't have to tell me if you don't want to!-but what is your native language?

And finally! Kurama doesn't have a current uniform. He's at University, and so he doesn't wear one-just his own clothes.

I am evil- I have been told so many times-hehe! I'm sorry you were disappointed- but at least I updated the next day!

Phew! And finally, arigato for all your reviews! I look forward to them!!

Inu_Kagome_4Life: Glad to hear it!

Kagome4Hiei: Glad to hear it. And you're a Hiei lover too? Well there's gonna be a few surprises your way, so stay tuned!
