InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Dark Desires ❯ Joining Forces ( Chapter 2 )

Dark Desires

By Priestess of the Blade

Chapter 2:

Hee hee hee! Did you like the last one? I know I did. That's why I put up another so soon. Thank you to everyone who reviewed. YOU MADE ME SO OBSCENELY HAPPY! It's almost crazy how happy I get when I get a review. Maybe I need some help. Okay back to the story. It seems there was a little confusion about who the girl in the beginning and end was, you know the vengeful chick, and yes it was Kikiyo. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough on that, I thought I left enough hints. Gomen. Anywho, this chapter should reveal more of Kikiyo's plans. And fill in some missing pieces of what happened that brought Kagome and Inuyasha to the well and why Kikiyo was with Naraku. Well hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, that honor belongs to one Rumiko Takahashi-sama. However, Miroku is still my Man-Bitch.

Miroku: I am!

Me: Of course Miroku-sama.

Miroku: Oh good! Does that mean that now we can finish what we started last night? You know when I was…

Me: (turns red with embarrassment) NO! That is…I'm typing right now. (Whispers) Don't talk about that stuff in front of the readers.

Miroku: Why not? You said there was sex in this story. Why not ours?

Me: Because I'm not some freaky exhibitionist.

Miroku: Didn't seem that way when we…

Me: SHUT UP!

Miroku: Fine! Am I in the story this time?

Me: Yeah. Sure I'll get you in there this time.

Miroku: Yay!

Me: Now go in the kitchen and get me a soda… Bitch!

(Whip crack heard in the background again)

Miroku: What was that?

Me: Nothing. (Miroku leaves) He's so cute when he's oblivious. *sighs*

And without any further ado… Chapter 2…

It did not take Kikiyo long to return to Naraku. True his castle was far from her village, but Kikiyo's fury lent her speed. She did not wish to see Naraku again, yet there was something she needed from him now. She despised him, but she needed his help, his help for her revenge.

He awaited her in his room, watching calming as she strode through the moonlight to his castle. He had known she was coming long before she had come into view. His creatures had found her, yet he had sensed her even before then. Somehow he could feel when she was near.

She entered silently, and Naraku did not acknowledge her presence, he was content to wait for her to speak. He hoped his silence would make her nervous, twist her insides as she twisted his, he knew it would not.

"Naraku," his name from her lips sent shivers through him and he loathed it, and loved it.

"Kikiyo," he grinned out the window enjoying the fact that she needed something from him; it was the only reason she would return, and pleased that he could force her to ask for it.

"You know I have come for a favor," she said coolly catching him in his game. That annoyed him. He maintained the same calm voice through his chagrin.

"Yes."

"Do you wish to know what it is?" she maintained her calm through a similar annoyance at his pride.

"No."

"Then you refuse to help me."

"No. I simply will not grant you a favor." He turned to her, fixing her with a cold stare. "I want something in return, that is all."

"What do you want?" Her dead eyes and cold voice revealed nothing.

"You," She arched an eyebrow at this, nothing more. Inwardly she had expected something of the sort. "I wish to complete your defilement. I wish to relieve myself of this…fixation."

Kikiyo actually smiled at this, a small amused smile. Males are all the same, the thought angered her and she forced the feeling deep into the pit that was her soul.

"Fine, if that is what it will take, then fine. I will do as you wish."

Slowly and calmly she began to undress, it seemed as though she could not feel Naraku's eyes devouring every inch of her skin. She did feel it, but the thought of him no longer affected her. Her mind was on another demon and what she planned for him. Naraku was only a nuisance.

He wouldn't have cared what she was thinking at that moment if he knew. His mind was racing with images of her, memories of his past life. And desire coursed through the hundreds of combined demons that he called a body. The demons desired the defilement of the miko as much as his little bit of humanity desired her body.

Finally Kikiyo stood naked before Naraku, staring at him coldly not really seeing him, until he grabbed her. His grip was vicious, his nails cutting into her side and neck. He clutched a fistful of her hair jerking her head back, her mouth opened in a scream and he trapped it with his lips. Fear coursed through her dead soul.

She was a miko, kept pure and she had no experience with a man and Naraku's violence scared her. She fought the fear, forcing herself to accept what he wanted from her. She forced herself to think of why she did this and tried to shut her mind to what Naraku was doing to her, she only half succeeded. She took it, but she shook with fear and pain the whole time, which only encouraged Naraku in his enjoyment.

Naraku ignored his demon senses telling him he was with a dead body. He ignored her stench of earth and bone. He ignored the coldness of her body. He only acknowledged what his eyes and mind told him. This was Kikiyo the miko who had nursed the weak and broken body he used to inhabit. Kikiyo, the once so pure priestess. He had finally succeeded in her defilement, he had planted the seed of hatred in her and now he nurtured its' growth and enjoyed its' fruits.

His nails clawed down her belly digging between her legs as he gripped her breast drawing five beads of blood. He sucked against her neck, shivering in pleasure with each pained moan that escaped her. He released her breast and pulled his robes from himself as he slammed her to the wall. He pressed his naked body against her lifting her feet from the floor and forcing himself between her legs pinning her to the wall. She was forced to wrap her legs around his waist to keep from falling. As he entered her a single tear slid down her cheek and he caught it with his tongue.

He took her hard and fast, ignoring her cries of pain as he released himself into her. When he finished he stepped from wall letting her drop unceremoniously to the floor. He looked at her for a moment then turned from her to gaze once more out the window.

He made no effort to cover himself as he contemplated something silently. Kikiyo fought back sobs and tried to collect herself. Becoming the cold miko again was proving to be harder than it ever had. She pulled her eyes from Naraku's back and stared at the wall, pushed her mind to Inuyasha and her hatred of him, that calmed her mind. When she looked up again Naraku had seated himself in a dark corner where he watched her.

She held her calm and stood to dress. As she pulled her clothes on breath hissing softly as the cloth brushed against the deep cuts Naraku had caused all over her ivory skin. When she began to wrap her shirt around herself Naraku leapt at her crashing her to the floor beneath him. "I'm not finished yet," he told her calmly.

Hours later Naraku finally sought rest. He held her breast possessively as he appeared to sleep. Kikiyo doubted he was truly unconscious. It had become easier to take as the night had progressed. Her mind and body finally found a numbness that allowed her to handle what he did. She lay calmly, letting him hold her as he wished. She had agreed to his bargain and she would hold to her half, believing that he would hold to his. She would have her revenge whatever the cost.

Now we return to an earlier time and a happier pair of lovers…

Kagome woke slowly to sweet and some not so sweet pains greeting her awakening consciousness. She had bruises from her fall with Inuyasha, and some from her night with Inuyasha. She blinked her eyes as they adjusted to the bright morning light. She found Inuyasha watching her from a crouch by her feet. He had covered her with his fire-rat cloak as she slept and she held it to herself as he continued to look at her. She couldn't understand why she was so nervous. After all he had seen everything last night. She ignored this thought as Inuyasha smiled at her discomfort. She cut off the stupid comment he was about to make with a question of her own.

"How long have you been awake?"

"Not long," he answered as he continued to grin. Isn't he pleased with himself? Kagome thought and began to giggle. Inuyasha cocked his head in confusion and she began to laugh outright when she realized how much he looked like a puppy right then.

"Hey! What are you laughing at?" Inuyasha barked. (A/N: no pun intended, sorry `bout using that word, it just seemed to fit.)

"Nothing…I… swear…" she fought out between giggles. Inuyasha growled. Kagome fought to retrain herself. "I'm sorry. Maybe I'm still just a little giddy from last night."

"Feh."

"Really Inuyasha," Kagome was quite serious again as she stood, discarding the cloak as she knelt down to kiss him. Inuyasha gathered her in his arms glad to forget his annoyance at her as he reveled in her scent and taste. My Kagome, Inuyasha thought. Kagome mirrored his thoughts, My Inuyasha.

A faint scent on the wind forced Inuyasha mind from what he wanted to do with Kagome right then. He groaned as he pushed the gorgeous nude girl away from him. She frowned at him. "Sango and the Monk are coming."

"Miroku and Sango are coming?" Kagome gasped and blushed remembering her state of undress. "Do they know where we are?" Kagome's mind was flying franticly.

"They have Shippo with them. They'll find us." Inuyasha's face settled into something closely resembling a pout. "We'd better get dressed." He sighed. He turned to see Kagome already pulling on her skirt. She reached for her bra and shirt to find both torn cleanly in half. "Inuyasha!" The girl whined. "You tore my clothes. Now what am I supposed to wear?" Inuyasha smiled stupidly at her. She growled, "Do you want Miroku to see me like this?" Inuyasha yelped. His eyes darted around landing on his fire-rat cloak crumpled before him, he tossed it at her.

"No hiding what we did now," Inuyasha stated.

"Who wanted to hide it in the first place?" Kagome retorted as she flipped her hair over the collar of the cloak. Inuyasha's face spilt into a grin yet again. Kagome looked at Inuyasha over her shoulder. "Are you going to get dressed? I suppose you don't have to worry about Miroku, but you might embarrass Sango." Kagome grinned mischievously as Inuyasha scrambled to dress.

They strode out of the clearing together to meet their friends. As they walked into view Shippo, Sango, and Miroku ran to meet them. "Kagome!" Shippo yelled as he leapt into her arms.

"Kagome are you alright? What happened to your clothes?" Sango gasped as she surveyed Kagome's state.

"Lady Kagome are you hurt? Inuyasha was there a fight?" Miroku questioned as calmly as he could, though fear gave his voice edge.

"I'm okay really." Kagome assured them.

"There wasn't any fight." Inuyasha stated. "Well not much of one anyway." He added as he remembered his and Kagome's argument the night before. Slowly the situation dawned on the two. Miroku's face widened in a grin very similar to the one Inuyasha had sported minutes earlier. Sango blushed as she realized the implication.

Kagome made no movement to hide the bite mark on her neck as Sango's eyes widened when she saw it. Inuyasha had told her that the bite claimed her as his. Well, if she was his then he was hers and she was proud of the fact.

Shippo oblivious to the innuendo flying around him twisted in Kagome's arms to ask Inuyasha, "What do you mean not much of a fight? Did someone attack you or not?"

"No Shippo, no one attacked us." Kagome soothed the little kitsune.

"Then what happened to you Kagome?"

"Would you just shut up and stop asking so many questions?" Inuyasha yelled at the small fox.

"Inuyasha you leave him alone. He didn't do anything wrong." Kagome warned the hanyou. "We fell down I tore my shirt Shippo." Kagome lied smoothly to turn the kitsune's curiosity aside.

"Humph," Inuyasha muttered to himself, frustrated that the girl was able to think quicker than him.

"We should get back to the village. I could use a bath." Kagome chattered cheerily leading the group back.

"Yeah you smell kinda funny Kagome." Shippo rubbed his nose as he curled deeper into the girl's arms. Inuyasha just crossed his arms and smiled as Kagome flushed a deep scarlet.

A short while later…

"MIROKU, WILL YOU LEAVE ME ALONE? I'M NOT GONNA TELL YOU ANYTHING!" Inuyasha's screams could be heard by the girl's in the hot springs though they were a fair distance away from Lady Kaede's home.

"Ugh, that monk is incorrigible," Sango muttered as she settled into the warm water. She shook her head at the monk's antics before turning her attention back to the issue at hand. "So Kagome, what happened with Inuyasha? You were pretty upset with him when you left last night. What changed?"

"Um…well, I guess he did actually."

"What do you mean?"

"You remember how he was mooning around when I got here yesterday. And you told me he had been like that the entire time I was gone."

"Yes."

"Well when I asked him about it he wouldn't talk to me. And well I got mad at him and yelled at him for obsessing over Kikiyo. Then he got all defensive and told me to `mind my own fucking business.' Well that's when I took off. I was so mad at him when I left I even forgot my backpack," she giggled about this. Sango fixed her with a stare urging her to continue. "Well anyway he followed me, and told me I couldn't go. He asked me why I was so angry and I told him. He even had the nerve to pretend like he didn't know." She grunted softly and leaned back. "I told him he needed to choose between me and Kikiyo. Then when I threatened to never come back," Sango gasped at this admission. "No, I didn't really mean it, I would have come back!"

"You're right. I know that. Sorry, keep going with your story." Sango leaned forward eagerly. Kagome was a little surprised at the demon hunter's thirst for gossip, but she continued.

"Anyway, he believed me when I said that, and got really angry. He grabbed me…"

"Is that when you two…"

"No! He just threw me over his shoulder. I think he was just planning on taking me back here. But then I sat him."

"Oh!"

"Except he was holding me pretty tight and I got pulled down with him," another gasp from Sango. "Yeah, it hurt pretty bad. While I was lying on the ground Inuyasha just kind of jumped on me, and said he made his choice." The girl shrugged admitting she didn't understand Inuyasha's reasoning either.

"You mean he picked you right after you sat him?"

"Yeah," another shrug.

"I don't understand Inuyasha at all. I guess it must be love," Sango sighed.

"Yeah, I guess so…" Kagome stared in the direction of Kaede's home.

Back with Kikiyo and Naraku…

"That's it?"

"Yes, for now all I need you to do is keep the monk and demon hunter busy. Kill them if you wish it doesn't matter." Kikiyo once dressed assumed her mask of coldness easily. She eyed Naraku as he gazed at her blankly. "I just need them out of the way for a time. I'll tell you when I need more."

"Are you going to kill Inuyasha?" Naraku asked, emotionless.

"Not yet. Soon," the dead miko answered.

To Be Continued…

So do you hate me? No you don't, but I bet you can't wait for the next chapter. Honestly neither can I. However, I have the benefit of knowing what's coming next. :P

Okay, I'm sorry that was mean. I'll probably have another chapter out soon. I'm a little obsessed with this story. And the fact that I have no life leaves me plenty of time to write. Have patience. I'm a little amazed at myself. I think I managed to make myself feel sorry for Kikiyo, I didn't think it was possible! If your feeling like me don't worry it won't last long. Kikiyo will be doing something really evil soon and all thoughts of pity will vanish. It was kind of nice to see Kagome and Inuyasha happy for awhile. Sorry but that won't last long either. Some bad stuff is gonna go down in the next chapter.

Oh yeah! Have I mentioned how much I like reviews? Be sure to write me one. But always remember, my ego may be big, but it is fragile.

Ja ne!
