A Mother Miko's Instincts - Chapter 19

By Majicman55

 

 

Why did this castle seem so familiar?

 

Oshirimaru settled onto the floor in what evidently was the most important room in the castle. She had the distinct feeling she had been here before. No, she had lived here. She could feel the evil that permeated the place. Flashes of memory came to her. It was like when Kikyo's memories were beginning to return.

 

Oshirimaru suffered a sudden case of the willies.

 

She wondered if she really was this Kikyo person. She had her memories, or at least some of them…but that didn't make her Kikyo, did it? Certainly she had been created out of something that had once been Kikyo.

 

Oshirimaru grumbled and began exploring the castle again.

 

Now it appeared that, in addition to all the youkai and the three children of InuYasha and Kagome she had absorbed, she was made, in part, of someone else.

 

A very evil someone else.

 

“Puff-Did-puff-he-puff-live-puff-here?”

 

Oshirimaru opened a trap door she had found and floated down into the dungeon below.

 

The place reeked of torture and death. There were even skeletons and parts of skeletons scattered throughout. Oh, yes. Whoever it was that was a part of her was very evil.

 

On one side of the dungeon were two doors. One was labeled “For InuYasha” and the other “For Kagome.”

 

Oshirimaru went through the door labeled “For InuYasha.” Inside there was a very strong frame, complete with chains, facing a screen wall separating InuYasha's room from Kagome's room. Oshirimaru could feel the magic that had been infused into the chains. The hanyou would have been forced to watch what was in the next room.

 

“So InuYasha would have been forced to watch Kagome tortured,” thought the floating ass.

 

For some reason the thought pleased her immensely. She smirked inwardly as she opened the screens separating InuYasha's and Kagome's rooms.

 

There, in Kagome's room, was a raised dais covered in furs. It was obvious from the construction (and the manacles and leg irons) that Kagome would have been restrained while someone could walk right up between her…

 

“Puff-Does-pufffff-everyone-puff-want-puff-to-puff-h ave-puff-sex-puff-with-puff-that-pufffff-agghhhhh!”

 

Oshirimaru fled the dungeon and slammed the trap door shut. She really hated that girl. The floating ass returned to the main room and settled there. She didn't have long to wait. Judging by the way the three brats she had absorbed were acting, Kagome and InuYasha and the others must be nearby. “Puff-What-puff-can-puff-I-puff-do?” she thought.

 

“I can help you.”

 

 

******************

 

 

The group had set up camp about a mile from Naraku's castle. InuYasha was out hunting for supper while Miroku was gathering the firewood to cook it.

 

Suddenly the monk felt a sharp pain in his hand. “It couldn't be,” he thought. At the same time, the monk checked his hand. Out of sheer habit, he had kept wearing the special cloth and prayer beads meant to seal his old air rip. He lifted the cloth slightly.

 

There was a draught of air rushing into his palm.

 

“No,” thought the monk. “That bastard's dead.”

 

 

******************

 

 

Oshirimaru looked around desperately. “Puff-Where-puff-are-puff-you?”

 

“I am…inside.”

 

“Puff-Inside-puff-what?”

 

“Inside you.”

 

“Puff-Me?”

 

“Wait.”

 

“Puff-Wait-puff-for-puff-what?”

 

A low, continuous rumble began as a shapeless mass began rising out of the top of the floating ass. Rapidly it formed itself into a stomach, a chest, shoulders and arms, a neck and - finally - a head.

 

Below the floating ass, tentacles appeared and writhed about wildly.

 

When all was done, the head finally stirred. A sneer appeared on its lips. “I am back.” It opened its eyes. “They thought they had destroyed me, but I am…”

 

The head looked down.

 

“…a female ass, facing the wrong direction.” The face took on a look of angry concern as the body slithered rapidly over to a mirror and turned first to the left and then to the right. “A really nice ass, though. In fact, a great…wait. Kikyo? Is that you?”

 

“Puff-Some-puff-part-puff-of-puff-me-puff-may-puff-be… ;”

 

“I get the idea.”

 

The creature she was now part of was waving one tentacle rapidly in front of its nose. “Puff-And-puff-you-puff-are?”

 

“Call me…Naraku.”

 

 

******************

 

 

“That bastard's dead!”

 

“That's what I thought, too, InuYasha, but…” Miroku held out his hand, uncovered. “It hasn't gotten big enough to be dangerous yet, but I'm afraid it's only a matter of time.”

 

Kagome was looking more upset by the minute. “You mean that - thing - that is part Kikyo may be part Naraku as well?”

 

“Keh. Looks like it. We never did know where the bastard had his heart hidden when he came after you,” said InuYasha. “All we knew is that at one point in the fight he suddenly looked shocked.” The hanyou looked to his brother. “Do you know anything about this?”

 

“This Sesshomaru regrets not smashing the undead miko's statue into powder.”

 

“Ummm,” hemmed Kagome. “That wasn't exactly a statue.”

 

“But how…?

“I don't want to explain right now.” A wild look came into Kagome's eyes as she turned back to her mate. “InuYasha!”

 

“What?”

 

“You don't suppose Naraku hid his heart inside the statue of Kikyo?”

 

 

******************

 

 

“So you are Kikyo.”

 

“Puff-I-puff-am-puff-not-puff-really-puff-sure-puff-about-p uff-that.”

 

Naraku waved his tentacles rapidly in front of his nose. “Would you stop that? How am I supposed to get any respect as the `ultimate evil' if you keep doing that? People will just laugh.”

 

“Puff-Do-puff-you-puff-think-puff-I-puff-like-puff-b eing-puff-an-puff-ass?”

 

“And another thing…I'm not a girl.” The Naraku part concentrated. “I should have a…”

 

“Puff-No! Puff-Wait! Pufffffffff-Ooooohhhh!”

 

“What's the problem?”

 

“Puff-Don't-puff-grow-puff-that-puff-there!”
