Chapter 8- Seek and Destroy

The being cloaked in the white baboon pelt quaked with rage as he watched Inuyasha leave Tomi with Kikyo and Kaede, before rushing off for the night. His eyes landed on Tomi and they narrowed even more.

How dare that little bitch chose that bastard half demon over him? Both of them actually chose Inuyasha over him. Tomi had when she allowed that fucking half breed to mark her as his mate and Kikyo had when she wouldn't give him the jewel. She had told him that if she used if on him, it would be tainted because his human soul was so dark, but if she used it on Inuyasha to make him human, it would purify it.

He would have his revenge on them all. First he would get his revenge on that sad excuse of a priestess, the little tease, Tomi. Killing her would nearly destroy the other two. Kikyo would be shattered with the loss of her beloved little sister dying so soon after the death of her beloved Onigumo. It would be even more delicious if he could make Kikyo believe that Inuyasha had been the one to start the fire that had supposedly killed Onigumo and then raped and murdered her little sister.

Yes. And after that he would strike down Inuyasha. No, he would watch in satisfaction as Kikyo killed her best friend. Then, he would smile when he told her that, he, Naraku was responsible for killing Tomi. He wanted to watch as Kikyo killed herself. The guilt would surely overwhelm her. Before she died he would reveal who he truly was, then laugh in her face as she recognized him as her former lover.

That worthless half demon, Inuyasha had taken the two women that he had wanted as his own. And the two human bitches that had chosen the half demon over him. Kikyo's betrayal had been the final straw. When she told him that bullshit excuse about the jewel, if he had been able to stand, he would have beat Kikyo for that. She left after he screamed at her to leave.

Then he found out from the spider demon, that Inuyasha had claimed Tomi as his mate, but had yet to claim her body. That stupid half breed! Why wouldn't he take his own mate? Oh well, Inuyasha's loss would be his gain.

The power that he now had was incredible! It would be easy to crush the three of them. Then with the jewel he would grow even more powerful! The world would be his. Who knows? Maybe after he fucked Tomi, he would keep her.

She liked the rough stuff. Why else would she go after those fucking half demons?

He watched the sky grow darker and could feel the evil creeping into the moonless night. He threw back his head and laughed!

The world would be his in just a few days. He would be unstoppable!

Nothing stood in his way once he got rid of Tomi, Inuyasha, and Kikyo.

He waited for several hours, taking the time to plot, heading the village just before the sky began to lighten with the grayness of the predawn.

In the form of Inuyasha.

!@#$%^&**&^%$#@!!@#$%^&*

Kagome had been trying to sleep for the last few hours. It was only four or so hours since sunset, but the fighting had taken a lot out of her. She wondered where Inuyasha had gone. She knew he would be back in the morning.

Kaede was blind in her injured eye. Her eye would never be able to see again. Finally, Kagome and Kikyo had been able to help the girl fall asleep. Kikyo had told Kagome to go to sleep, so she could be alone.

She rolled on to her side to stare at the wall. As if the wall would answer any of the rhetorical questions raging through her mind. She lifted her hand to her neck. Why did he leave his mark on her? This wasn't supposed to happen. Kagome knew that Inuyasha hadn't marked Tomi, but in this time he had. How much would that change in the future? She knew he wouldn't become human the way things were now.

Changing the past would irrevocably change the future. She knew that. That was why she was so careful when she traveled with Inuyasha and the others. If she killed Naraku here, her friends wouldn't suffer the way they had. Sango's family wouldn't be killed for the shards of that damn jewel. Miroku wouldn't have his wind tunnel. His father and possibly grandfather would still be alive. Shippo's parents could still be alive. Kagome would become a normal high school student again. Would she forget everything if she killed Naraku here? If she didn't, would she be able to get back to where she had come from, if she survived Naraku.

Kagome froze as she heard the person outside.

“Who is it?” Kikyo's voice broke Kagome out of her musing.

“It's me, Kikyo,” Inuyasha said.

Kagome frowned. Why would Inuyasha be here now? It was the night of the new moon. He had run off to keep anyone from finding out about it. Kagome was still mad that he hadn't trusted her enough to tell her, but he would.

“What is it? Is something wrong?” Kikyo's voice was wary. Kaede had just fallen asleep and Kikyo was still mourning Onigumo's fiery death.

“No. I was just wondering if you could come talk to me.”

Kagome sat up, her mouth gaping. That wasn't Inuyasha! Inuyasha never just walked around on the night of the new moon for the hell of it. Plus, with as close as he and Kikyo were, he would just come in the hut, if he wanted to talk to her.

“Not now, Inuyasha. Kaede just fell asleep and I just want to sleep. I'll see you in the morning.”

“Meet me at the sacred tree at dawn tomorrow.” He demanded.

“Okay,” Kikyo replied. “He is so impatient, but it can not be helped. Inuyasha? Inuyasha?” Kagome listened as Kikyo opened the doors to the shrine. Kagome heard them click closed a second later.

That hadn't been Inuyasha. It had been Naraku! Kagome grabbed her bow and arrows. She knew she had promised Inuyasha that she would stay here and be safe, but Naraku needed to die. She remembered that Kikyo had told her in her dream, not to underestimate Naraku as he was now.

“I need to leave, Kikyo. I'm sorry. I need to go talk to Inuyasha. Goodbye!” She turned and continued after Naraku's faint trail of evil.

“Wait! Tomi! Be careful! A lot of evil lurks on the moonless night.”

`If you only knew' She thought, running after Naraku.

She finally saw the being that looked like Inuyasha, but she knew it wasn't him. She glanced up at where the moon should be. “Onigumo!” She pointed her arrow at him.

The demon clad as Inuyasha whirled to face Kagome. “Well, Tomiko, I dare say you found me out.” He called her by the name she had given them.

It disturbed Kagome to hear that voice coming from Inuyasha's mouth. “I won't let you do this to them.”

“And, pray tell, what am I doing and to whom, little priestess?”

“You know what I'm talking about mother fucker.” She accused.

She watched the evil smirk contort Inuyasha's face. “My, my, for a priestess, you sure do have a mouth like a bandit,” he said smoothly.

“Leave Kikyo and Inuyasha alone.”

He laughed. “Why would I do that? They are keeping me from what I most desire.”

“I won't let you have the jewel.”

He walked closer to her, but stopped and held up his hands when Kagome pulled back the string of the bow. “What makes you think it is the jewel I most desire? It is true that I want the jewel, but what I truly want is Kikyo's dear half sister and Inuyasha's mate. Neither one would give you to me without a fight, Tomiko. You have a choice. If you come with me, I will forget the jewel and we will be together. If not, then they will die, I will take the jewel, but you will be first. You made me very…” he paused, looking for a word. “frustrated, Tomi. They way you would come into the cave and flirt with me, tease me, and taunt me. You knew I wanted you, but you kept doing it.”

“You took it the wrong way.”

He laughed. “That doesn't matter. I could have dealt with Kikyo's betrayal or you choosing Inuyasha over me, but when you both chose him on the same day, it drove me to this.”

Kagome knew better than to taunt him, but she guessed she had been hanging out with Inuyasha for too long. She cocked her head and looked at the perverse version of Inuyasha in front of her. “You were pissed at me and Kikyo, so you made yourself look like Inuyasha?”

He dropped the glamour instantly. His clothing still looked like the red fire rat of Inuyasha, but before her the figure looked like a cross between the Onigumo she had gotten to know and the Naraku of the future. His pitch black hair hung to his shoulders and his eyes were now lined with thick purple lines. The eyes held Kagome in an enthralled trance. They were not quite the blood red of what they would be, but not the chocolate brown of Onigumo's. They were somewhere in the middle. “I'm glad you like what you see. It will make it much easier when I take you.”

Kagome froze. Her? This whole thing was about her? All this time she had thought he wanted Kikyo and the jewel. “I'd rather die than be with you.” She let the arrow fly and watched him dodge it.

“You had your chance to spare them. Now I will destroy your sister and your lover, bitch. You will pay for not taking my offer. You will pay and then they will pay.” He smiled at the scent of her fear. “I will give you a head start if you run now.”

Kagome didn't need a written invitation for that one as she turned and ran. This was all her fault! He wanted Tomiko and Kikyo. He had destroyed them because she had turned him down. Of course Kagome didn't really believe him. Everything bad that had happened to Inuyasha, Kikyo, Kaede, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Koga, and countless others was Kagome's fault. If she had killed him or taken his deal, none of this would have happened.

She tore through the field into the forest, hearing the mocking laughter as he toyed with her. She didn't even know where she was going, but she had to get away from Naraku. This was just like the way she had died in her past life. The difference was that if she was caught now, she would be raped. That motivated Kagome to run even more. Maybe she would get lucky and run off a cliff or something.

Her lungs burned as she pushed herself beyond a level she would have thought possible. She couldn't get enough air as she continued. Her feet hurt and she had scratches from the tree branches she had run through.

She gave a slight pause as she came to a fork in the trail. Her eyes glanced left then right. Going against her gut instinct, she went right. She knew what would happen if she went left. She couldn't hear him behind her anymore and turned to look over her shoulder.

Nothing.

She had lost him.

Bam! She hit the ground so hard, the air blasted from her lungs. Shit! She had tripped on a root. She should have gone the other way. Running into the tree knocked her head a bit, but tripping on that root twisted her fucking ankle. A soft whimper escaped her lips as she opened her eyes. “Damn, that hurt.” She rolled onto her back to get up.

She froze when she heard the chuckling off to her left. Suddenly she was pinned under his body. “It's a shame that you are so clumsy, but you wouldn't have escaped me anyway.”

“You…You, Kikyo's sister, Tomi, are the way I will make both of them suffer. The half demon bastard and that lying whore of a priestess will be so easy to destroy, after your death.” He began to rip at her clothing. His lips moved to the mark on her neck and he jerked back when something burnt him. He stared at the pink glowing pentagram and the blue glowing moon. “What the fuck?” An instant later he was blasted ten feet from her.

She sat up, her top in tatters. Blood stained the top from the scratches he had given her. She grabbed her bow, notched an arrow, and watched as it weakly sealed him to a tree. It would maybe last a minute if she was lucky. Ignoring the pain in her foot, she rose to her feet and ran. Then it hit her.

She knew where she was! The well was in the clearing she was approaching. Even if the well wouldn't take her from this place, it was her only option. If she went in head first and it didn't work, the fall would kill her. If it did work, she got away. To her, it was a win, win situation. She flinched when she heard the scream of rage as he broke the seal.

Twenty yards…Fifteen yards…Ten yards…

He knew what she was going to do. The little bitch would rather kill herself than let him have his fun with her! He couldn't let that happen.

“You thought you could escape me, you little bitch!” Naraku grabbed her wrist. He jerked her against him and his mouth closed over hers.

Tears poured down her face. “Please…don't,” she whimpered, pulling her mouth from his. His hand slashed through her shirt and into her flesh causing her to scream. His hand moved through the hole in her shirt and cupped her bare breast.

Pretending that she liked it, Kagome pulled him closer and held onto his shoulders. Summoning as much purifying energy as she could, she shot it into him.

He grunted and staggered back from her. “This is for Sango!”

He grunted again when her foot kicked his shin. “That was for Miroku!”

The air was knocked from him when she punched him in the stomach. “That was for Kikyo!”

She balled up her hand and punched him in the face. “That was for Inuyasha!”

“And this.” She pulled him close to her, before she brought her knee hard into his groin. “This is for Kagome!” She shoved him from her and watched as he hit the ground hard. Demon, human, or half demon, shots like that are going to hurt.

She looked at him as he was slowly rising to his feet. Unbelievable rage boiling in his eyes. She was already sitting at the edge of the well. “I'll see again. Either in Hell, or in the future, but we will meet again.” She let herself fall backwards into the well. One last thought crossed her mind as she fell. `Will I be reincarnated into myself again if I die?'

Fifty three years later…

A small fox demon sat the well, looking inside with longing. He refused to believe that his mama had abandoned him! No matter what Inuyasha said. This was all Inuyasha's fault anyway.

Being the moonless night, all the humans were in the village while Shippo sat at the well. With him, protecting him were four very high strung wolf demons.

Koga and Ayame had decided to mate and wanted to tell Kagome. Much to Inuyasha's dismay, they had showed up three weeks ago, looking for her, and decided to wait for her return.

Ginta and Hakkaku refused to leave until they saw their little sister so the wolves had pretty much move into the area.

“So, Kagome lives in a well?” Ayame asked.

“No. Mama travels through the well between here and her country.” Shippo blinked as he continued to stare into the well.

Koga folded his arms across his chest and snorted. “Ain't nothing going to happen, kid. You've been sitting out here for days.”

Shippo instantly began to sob.

“Koga, you're such a jerk!” Ayame yelled at him and pulled Shippo into her arms.

“Man Koga, you sure are being mean.” Hakkaku said.

“Yeah Koga.” Ginta agreed.

Koga jumped up on the edge of the well. “I don't get it. Nothing is special about this well. It's… Oh shit!” Koga jumped back and fell on his ass as a ray of electric blue light shot into the night sky.

“Mama!” The fox demon jumped from Ayame's arms.

“No!” Koga grabbed him and handed him to Ayame.

All the demons could smell Kagome, her blood, Inuyasha, and Naraku in the well. If something bad had happened to Kagome, Koga didn't want the kid to see it.

Koga jumped into the well and landed next to the stunned human, just sitting up. Her lip was bleeding, her now short hair was a mess, and her clothing was torn to shreds. It was obvious that someone had tried to rape her, but just as obvious was the fact that she escaped.

“Kagome?” He asked hesitantly.

She stood up slowly with her back against the well. “Koga!” She threw herself into his arms and began to sob.

“Koga?” Ayame looked down on them.

“Go get mutt face and his friends! Now!”

Ayame instantly ran to the village. She burst into Kaede's hut startling the four humans and one dead woman that were sleeping in it.

“What the fuck is wrong with you, Ayame? You trying to scare the shit out of me or something?” Human Inuyasha barked.

“What's wrong, Ayame?” Sango slowly stood up, followed by Miroku.

Kilala growled and ran out the door, toward the well.

“Kagome has returned, but she smells like blood and Naraku. Koga told me to…” Ayame realized that she was speaking to an empty room as everyone tore from the hut like bats out of Hell.

Even the old woman ran busting ass to get out there. Ayame found that kind of funny as she followed.

All of them wanted to know what had happened to Kagome.

They were all in for one hell of a shock.
