Chapter Two
Birds chirped wildly in the trees as the sun’s rays warmed the sky. Kagome moaned in irritation.
“No, it’s too early to get up yet, five more minutes please.” Kagome heard them chirp louder and opened her eyes half way. They were sitting in a branch next to her. Yawning Kagome stood on her legs getting a morning stretch until she almost dropped from her bed. Looking down she saw miniatures versions of her friends. “Oh gods how did I get up here?” Kagome looked at her nails finding them longer than before and eep-ed. ‘I’m Youkai, so the blood I drank did work.’ she felt her ears and teeth fascinated how they changed so much. Her head hurt her though. She could smell so many different things now; she could even smell the dew from the grass. She climbed down from the tree and moved to her bag pulling out a mirror, her hair was silvery white, ending just below her thighs and her eyes were silver as well. She had no marking on her face or her hands, but it did not matter. She heard someone move behind her and turned seeing Kikyo aim at her.
“Demon what do you want here? Are you after the Shikon?” Kagome stepped back ready to run when Kikyo tried shooting. Inu Yasha’s gruff voice called behind her.
“Who are you? What do you want with Kagome’s bag?”
“Answer,” Kikyo threatened. Kagome shook her head making a run for it.
“Hey, get back here!”
********************************************************** **************************************************************
‘O h Kami stop chasing me, stop chasing me!’ Kagome begged inwardly. She panted. She was from away from the camp now, but Inu Yasha kept on her tail. She looked back noticing his far away form and started making different turns trying to lose him. Looking back, she could not see him, but smacked right into something hard in front of her. “Owww, that hurts,” She peeked up at what ever she walked into and caught her breath. “Naraku, why, why are you here? Inu Yasha isn’t that far behind!” She pushed at him and he laughed.
“Well, well miko I didn’t know you cared so much about me.”
“I have to seeing you’re the one giving my friends what they want, move will you!” Naraku pushed at her making her fall on her back.
“Enough, besides the hanyou will not find us here, I have set up a barrier.” Kagome rubbed her sore bottom whimpering, as she looked at all the hard rocks that saved her fall.
“That hurts,” Naraku grabbed her hand. “Hey, where are you taking me now,”
“Be quiet,” Kagome shivered in fear at his tone. He smirked evilly looking back at her. The blood he had given her made her look so much more mature than what a normal teenage woman was. It made him yearn for her. She caught a look in his eye and remembered it from last night. She bit her lip drawing blood.
“Naraku what are you planning to do with me,” She felt him pull her closer as they entered a dark cave. He pushed her against one of the cold walls nipping at her neck. “Naraku, what,”
“I want you again little miko, it seems as though your new form has affected me in a way only your body can help with.”
“I can’t My, I’m still,”
“You do not have to worry miko, I’ll be as gentle as I can,” He chuckled. Kagome blushed.
“I’d always thought that, my first would be,”
“Inu Yasha,” Naraku answered. Kagome watched him transform and gasped. “How’s this?”
“No, don’t do that,” Kagome froze.
“Why not-”
“Because I don’t want you to impersonate him like you have once before.” Kagome felt his hands on her again and bit her lip. “Don’t please,” Naraku returned to his natural form hearing her sigh. He ground his hips against her and bit her lips. Kagome began to pant at him pressing closer.
“I see you’re responding more to my touch, have you forgotten about the hanyou that soon?”
“No,” She gasped stopping. “Kami this is wrong so very wrong, I have to go.”
“You will go when I am finished with you.” He pressed against her more feeling her brush back slightly. “Besides you are no longer human, how will you explain your transformation?”
“I’ll need a concealment spell, Kaede taught me, but I can’t remember- ohm,” Kagome felt his tongue around her right nipple sucking it greedily. She arched into his mouth gasping his name. He pressed his fingers against the dampness of her pajama pants groaning. Her time of heat was beginning he could smell it. He laughed wickedly at himself. Kagome’s claws dug into his shoulders and moaned his name allowed. Naraku pulled at the annoying fabric of her pants and untied his own setting himself free. Kagome looked at him dazed. She screamed at him when he buried himself into her. “Naraku, O-Ow,” She clawed at his shoulders trying to remove him, but he held her hips tight against his own.
“Don’t move you’re only making it worse for yourself.”
“You,” She whimpered. “I told you I was still-”
“And I am keeping perfectly still. You’re moving about.” Naraku hissed. Kagome hid her face in his shoulder sobbing quietly. She smelt a scent nearby and gasped. Naraku grinned at her. “So you smell him hm?”
“Inu Yasha,” she whispered. Naraku plunged into her hard and fast not caring whether she was used to him yet or not. Kagome screamed clawing into his shoulders. “Naraku stop! Please stop it!” She felt his fangs bite into her breast and cried even harder. She could feel him pulse now and begged him to stop. Naraku backhanded her.
“Shut your mouth miko,” Kagome felt him lick the blood from her lip and whimpered. Her cheek swelled and bruised lightly from the force he used.Naraku groaned feeling his end and pushed deep into her. Kagome shut her eyes from the pain and soon felt his release fill her. She slumped against him feeling too weak to move and felt him slip from her. She caught sight of his member finding her blood and liquid s coating him as well as his own fluids. Naraku pulled his clothes on and covered her in his baboon pelt. She shivered as he called to her. “You will have to pay attention to my words miko; I’ll give you a concealment spell. Are you ready?”

Inu Yasha looked around the clearing. He could not find the Youkai female, but found another more important scent in the area. Sniffing the ground, he growled. “Naraku, that bastard was here,” Taking out Tetsusaiga he looked around. “Show your face bastard I know you’re here!” Something moved in the trees and he turned quickly finding it to be a bird. “Damn, it” He smelt something coming from in front of him not that far away and ran for it. ‘It’s him that bastards close.” He noticed another scent and his stomach lurched with fear. ’Kagome, damn it,’ ‘******************************************************************** *************************************************************************** ******
Kagome scrubbed her skin hard with her washcloth, her skin was beat red due to her force. She panted hard while small tears dripped down her cheeks. ‘Inu Yasha is coming soon, please Kami help me get his stench off!’ She slipped on a stone and fell back into the water. Her body felt sore and the stinging on her breast did not help it. Naraku’s voice came into her mind.

The miko looked at her bloodied nails and looked up at Naraku.
“Now that you have the spell you may return to the hanyou Inu Yasha, but one warning, you will still smell of me even if you bath,”
“Then how do you expect me to keep quiet about it? Will I smell a lot like you?”
“No, but enough to know that I was passing by.” Kagome sighed and he grabbed her face ignoring her swollen cheek. She tried pulling out of his grip, but he only made it harder for her. “If you ever deny me of my desires like you have done today, then I will forget your little request and kill off the taijiya and monk is that understood?”
“Ye-yes, Naraku now please let go,” She pleaded. The dark hanyou pulled her into a pain-filled kiss and let her go. Before leaving, he said again.
“Remember onna, disobey me again and you will no longer have your friends.” She nodded to herself and stood on shaky legs. Her lips were red with her blood and her body-shivered s she felt a presence drawing closer. Quickly, she gathered what was left of her things and ran to the closest river she could find.

“Hey Kagome…”
“Oh, Inu Ya-”
“Where the hell did you go? Some demon was trying to ransack your bag at the damn campsite,” He noticed her undress and stuttered. “Why the hell aren’t you dressed?”
“I was taking an early morning bath,”
“We don’t have time for that, Sango and Kikyo got to take there’s and the monk has his. We have to get going” Kagome sighed grabbing what she took from her bag before her and Naraku’s meeting and started pulling them on,. Inu Yasha turned his backbeat red from seeing so much of Kagome. He turned to see her slip on some shoes and noticed a dark purple bruise on her cheek. “Wench where did this come from...?”
“I ah, slipped and hit my face on the rock. Luckily I didn’t lose any teeth huh?” She said weakly. Inu Yasha blinked at her and rubbed his thumb over her lips.
“Fell, huh, why so many bites? I thought I told you to stop biting your lips too?” Kagome blushed at the contact then anger rose within her. She slapped his hand away.
“Why are you even here Inu Yasha don’t you had to protect your intended?”
“My In- Kami Kagome not this again,” Inu Yasha pulled her arm and she hissed.
“Let go,” The hanyou did as asked, but grabbed her by her hips. Kagome cried out in pain. “Ow, gods Inu Yasha let go of me!”
“Jeez Kagome what’s wrong with you? Did I get you with my claws? I-I didn’t mean it,” He sat down pulling her to him as she cried softly. “I’m sorry I really didn’t mean it, here let me look at it-”
“NO, no,” She breathed. “I’ll be, okay. I think,”
“Why does it hurt, Did I-”
“No, it’s just cramps, “She lied. “My cycle you know, gods sometimes I can’t stand it, and it just hurts a lot and then-”
“I don’t smell it, are you-?”
“Yeah, positive, sometimes my cramps come early, I’ll be okay.” She laughed weakly and patted his arms. “Sometimes I don’t think you know your own strength.”
“Kagome, wait…”
“Well, shouldn’t keep your intended waiting too long now shall we?”
“Kagome-”
“What,”
“You smell of Naraku,” She turned toward him and muttered.
“Yeah, he was here, earlier, basic stuff, you know like, ‘I’m going to kill you all and win the jewel,’ I told him I didn’t have the shards with me t the moment and that if he didn’t back off then I’ll sick you on him. He just laughed and disappeared.” Inu Yasha scoffed.
“Coward, if he’s so brave he should come out and face me, but he’s going to hide like the coward he is.” Inu Yasha turned and shouted. “Grab on I’ll take us to the camp a lot faster.” Kagome grimaced still feeling the soreness in her legs and belly, but carefully climbed on. He felt her tense and rubbed her knee. “I’ll be careful okay.”
“Okay,”
********************************** *************************************************************************** *************************************************************************** *********
Kikyo looked at her reincarnate curiously. Her aura was different from before it felt tainted somehow. Inu Yasha guarded Kagome wherever he went and he constantly carried her when they moved around. He talked to her almost as softly as he did to Kikyo and she had it. She hated Kagome getting the attention. Sango noticed the look in Kikyo’s eyes and decided that it would be best not to have the dead priestess close to Kagome for a while. Inu Yasha rubbed Kagome’s leg quickly as she climbed onto his back.
“All right you guys lets get going, lunch is over and we don’t have much time left before that sun goes down. Kikyo will you be all right riding with Sango for a while?”
“It is not a problem, Inu Yasha,” she answered moving toward Kilala. Miroku got on Kagome’s bike with Shippo in the basket. Watching the hanyou jump off he heard Sango call to him.
“Miroku, what do you think Inu Yasha’s doing? Kagome’s been so very quiet ever since she came back with him.”
“I do not know as of yet Sango, but I will find out. There’s something different about Kagome’s aura as well.”
“I sense it too,”
“Hey Miroku, Kagome’s scent is different too, could Inu Yasha have done something about it?” Shippo asked.
“I don’t know, maybe he finally told her what he feels for her, but then again I may be wrong.”
“Wait Inu Yasha has been telling you what he feels for Kagome?”
“Well, no, but when he thinks no one’s looking I see him look into the locket Kagome made for him. Then afterwards he would look into the sky as though wishing something. There’s also the possibility that he is silently apologizing too.”
“What would he have to apologize about monk?”
“He made a promise with you am I correct Kikyo? Didn’t Inu Yasha say he’ll protect you?”
“Yes, long before the encounter with the Band of Seven.” She answered.
“He could be saying sorry to Kagome for choosing to stay by you.”
“He has decided?”
“I cannot say Kikyo, all I know is he is still darting between you and Kagome.”
“I see,” Kikyo said coldly. ‘Inu Yasha’s mine, he deserves to burn in the flames of hell with me.’
Kagome flicked her ears and sighed quietly. She felt Inu Yasha squeeze her leg.
“You ok back there? You’ve been quiet,”
“I’m fine, just a little sore, and tired.”
“Then sleep, we’ll be here when you get up.” Kagome smiled softly resting her head on his back with her heightened senses she could hear his heartbeat more clearly. She yawned once eyes getting heavy.
Inu Yasha turned his ear slightly back hearing her soft and even breaths. He held her closer to his body jumping higher than before. . The wolf was right in front of him. “Kouga, what do you want?”
“Nice meeting ya dog breath,” The wolf waved. Ginta and Hakkaku waved too.
“Hey Inu Yasha-”
“Where Miss Kagome, didn’t she come with you?”
“Feh, she’s sleeping right now. What are you doing here?”
“Kouga found the scent of Naraku coming form somewhere nearby, hey have you seen him?” Inu Yasha opened his eyes wide and growled.
“No, we haven’t come across him yet, we’ll let you know when we do,” Kouga narrowed his eyes at the dog and caught the scent coming off Kagome. He scoffed turning around and heading back the direction he came.
“Just what was that about?”
“I have no clue how the wolf thinks, let’s move on,” Sango looked to the monk who shrugged. Inu Yasha growled. “Don’t just stand there get your asses moving.”
******************************************************** *************************************************************************** *******************That night far from Inu Yasha’s pack, Sesshomaru encountered the wind witch Kagura. There the two sat by the fire, Kagura the only one sipping some tea the toad, Jaken had just finished making.
“So, Naraku has no shards of the jewel with him?”
“No, he hid them somewhere, but where exactly I am not sure. I cannot even ask my sister Kanna to show me on her mirror because he locked her in his study. Even when I tried to destroy the door itself, the barrier he cast around the door reflects my attack.”
“He is now weak correct?”
“No, even though he does not have any jewel shards he still has immense power. I should know, I tried.” she growled. “He keeps rambling about having a greater power soon and that no one will be able to stop him. He’s also been muttering about that priestess reincarnated from Kikyo.”
“My brother’s miko,” Sesshomaru questioned. Kagura nodded and stood.
“He mutters about her all the time. Could it be that she is in his plans?”
“It’s very possible wind witch, Naraku uses anyone or thing as a pawn for his dark ideas.”
“Hm, Well I guess I’ll leave that to you to look into, for I have to return to the castle. Take cares Lord Sesshomaru.” Jaken watched as she floated away on her giant feather and turned to his lord.
“Are you going to believe her word master? Will you look into this situation with the half-breed Inu Yasha?”
“If it leads this Sesshomaru anywhere closer to Naraku then we will see my half wit of a brother.”
“When will we be leaving?”
“Tomorrow morning we will search for my brother.” Sesshomaru answered the toad, while looking at the sleeping child. She curled deep into his mokomoko-sama sleeping away. His thoughts traveled back to the human woman and her kit. Rin was always asking about her and he finally got the hint his ward was sending. She wanted a mother, another woman to talk to, and she will need that soon. Rin was twelve now. Her feminine cycle would begin and instead of him explaining why it happened it would be best for a woman to teach her. The miko traveling with his brother fit the bill perfectly. Rin would be very pleased with the idea. Snuffing out the fire, Sesshomaru rested against the tree mind clouding over with fatigue. Jaken grumbled watching over the campsite.

Birds chirped wildly in the trees as the sun’s rays warmed the sky. Kagome moaned in irritation.

Inu Yasha turned his ear slightly back hearing her soft and even breaths. He held her closer to his body jumping higher than before. . The wolf was right in front of him. “Kouga, what do you want?”
“Nice meeting ya dog breath,” The wolf waved. Ginta and Hakkaku waved too.
“Hey Inu Yasha-”
“Where Miss Kagome, didn’t she come with you?”
“Feh, she’s sleeping right now. What are you doing here?”
“Kouga found the scent of Naraku coming form somewhere nearby, hey have you seen him?” Inu Yasha opened his eyes wide and growled.
“No, we haven’t come across him yet, we’ll let you know when we do,” Kouga narrowed his eyes at the dog and caught the scent coming off Kagome. He scoffed turning around and heading back the direction he came.
“Just what was that about?”
“I have no clue how the wolf thinks, let’s move on,” Sango looked to the monk who shrugged. Inu Yasha growled. “Don’t just stand there get your asses moving.”
******************************************************** *************************************************************************** *******************That night far from Inu Yasha’s pack, Sesshomaru encountered the wind witch Kagura. There the two sat by the fire, Kagura the only one sipping some tea the toad, Jaken had just finished making.
“So, Naraku has no shards of the jewel with him?”
“No, he hid them somewhere, but where exactly I am not sure. I cannot even ask my sister Kanna to show me on her mirror because he locked her in his study. Even when I tried to destroy the door itself, the barrier he cast around the door reflects my attack.”
“He is now weak correct?”
“No, even though he does not have any jewel shards he still has immense power. I should know, I tried.” she growled. “He keeps rambling about having a greater power soon and that no one will be able to stop him. He’s also been muttering about that priestess reincarnated from Kikyo.”
“My brother’s miko,” Sesshomaru questioned. Kagura nodded and stood.
“He mutters about her all the time. Could it be that she is in his plans?”
“It’s very possible wind witch, Naraku uses anyone or thing as a pawn for his dark ideas.”
“Hm, Well I guess I’ll leave that to you to look into, for I have to return to the castle. Take cares Lord Sesshomaru.” Jaken watched as she floated away on her giant feather and turned to his lord.
“Are you going to believe her word master? Will you look into this situation with the half-breed Inu Yasha?”
“If it leads this Sesshomaru anywhere closer to Naraku then we will see my half wit of a brother.”
“When will we be leaving?”
“Tomorrow morning we will search for my brother.” Sesshomaru answered the toad, while looking at the sleeping child. She curled deep into his mokomoko-sama sleeping away. His thoughts traveled back to the human woman and her kit. Rin was always asking about her and he finally got the hint his ward was sending. She wanted a mother, another woman to talk to, and she will need that soon. Rin was twelve now. Her feminine cycle would begin and instead of him explaining why it happened it would be best for a woman to teach her. The miko traveling with his brother fit the bill perfectly. Rin would be very pleased with the idea. Snuffing out the fire, Sesshomaru rested against the tree mind clouding over with fatigue. Jaken grumbled watching over the campsite.
