Destinies Collide

Chapter 4: Evil Cliffhanger

Pain. It was a searing pain. That was the only way that she could describe it. The medicine wore off slowly, making her become more aware of the pain. He had beaten her. She glanced over the part of her body that she could see, while trying not to move her neck too much. She was sitting in a pool of blood. She closed her eyes as she felt herself weakening from the loss.

She focused her mind on her body. She searched every angle and crevice until she accounted for all of her new injuries. She wanted to heal herself, but fought against the urge once again. Her thoughts centered on her existence for the hundredth time.

`Why doesn't that blasted tiger just kill me? I know he wants to. I can feel it in his veins. He says he hates the sight of me, but this last time I could tell that he was aroused. These demons have no idea who they have captured,' she thought. A small smiled creased her lips. She opened her eyes and glanced around her enclosure. Nothing had changed. Everything was in its same predictable spot.

Suddenly, her mind filled with the sound of a thousand voices. She slammed her eyes closed as the voices vibrated around in her head. Every time this had happened in the past, she had ended up with a giant migraine. She screamed as the voices became louder. She fought to quiet them down. The voices were yelling at her trying to tell her something that she couldn't quite understand. Finally, she relaxed her mind and sent one thought sailing through the vastness of space. `Stop! Please stop!'

The voices were gone as quickly as they had appeared. She sighed and slouched back against the wall. "That was easy. Wish I had thought of that before." A bright light invaded the darkness of her cell. She clamped her eyes shut to shield her sensitive eyes from the brightness. A few seconds past before she dared to open them again. When she did, a woman, completely surrounded in a white light, met her. She didn't feel any evil energy from the woman.

The woman stared at her for a moment before she broke the silence. "I have been attempting to contact you for some time now. This was the first time that you commanded me to stop. Tell me why!"

Kagome looked up at her with eyes full of question. "You… You have been trying to contact me? Did you just try to contact me?"

"Yes."

"All I heard was a thousand voices screaming at me. They vibrated around in my head and I did the only thing I could think to do at that time. I commanded them to stop, but I didn't actually think that they would."

"I see." The woman glanced over Kagome's body. Her eyes focused on the collar around her neck. "I understand why you couldn't hear me. That collar is forcing down most, if not all, of your powers. I was unaware of the barrier, and thus didn't take the necessary precautions to override it."

Kagome just looked at her in wonder. `Who is this lady? I feel as though I should know her, but I don't recognize her,' she thought.

As if reading Kagome's thoughts, the woman answered, "I am your mother. I know you don't recognize me. You were pulled away from me at a very young age. Even then, I knew that you were strong willed and very powerful. I did my best to hide your powers from the world; for fear that you would be killed just as my other daughter had been. I cast a spell on you that forced your powers into submission. The spell was only supposed to last until you hit the age of thirteen. However I see that it lasted a lot longer then that. Are there any questions that you have for me?"

Kagome thought long and hard about that. She'd always wondered what her parents looked like. "Why is this happening to me? Did I do something to deserve a life of misery and pain? The only thing I've known, since I was sold to my first master, is pain. Now, they're threatening to kill me. Why don't they quit with their idle talk and just do it?" She was crying uncontrollably now.

Her mother bent down and embraced her daughter. "I know how you feel. I was treated the same way my entire life until my final master finally beat me into the grave."

Kagome raised her head. Her mother had died and she never knew. The woman held her close. Kagome basked in her warmth. She stretched her arms as far as they could reach and grasped her mother's arms. They held each other for a short time before her mother broke the embrace. Kagome stared at her mother.

"Sometimes life deals you a bad hand, but you have to take it as it comes. Everything may seem bleak right now, however you must have hope. Things will not always be this way. Your future looks very bright."

"Ha! My future won't be bright. I'll be seeing you in heaven pretty soon."

"You must not think that way." Her mother raised a hand and placed it on Kagome's forehead. Kagome felt all the pain in her body evaporate. She felt a rush of soothing energy coarse through her veins. She opened her eyes as she felt her mother's hand pull away.

"I have seen what is in store for you in the future. You must have faith that things will get better. Your future family is counting on you to survive your trials. Make sure that your pups will know their mother."

Kagome glanced disbelievingly at her mother. "Future family? Make sure that my pups will know their mother? You talk as though I'll be mated to that stupid wolf that was here earlier today."

"I can not divulge who you will be married to. Just remember one thing, you have to survive so that you can give me grandchildren."

Kagome sighed. She figured that was the only reason her mother had said that. "Mother, look at my situation. I have no chance of getting out of here alive. What makes you think you'll be getting grandchildren any time soon?"

"I don't think; I know, darling. I must leave you now. If you feel like things are getting to hard for you to handle, just call out to me and I shall come. I love you my darling daughter." With that her mother vanished.

The moon shone brightly in the night sky. Somewhere off in the distance, a lone wolf howled. Its voice was carried on the winds and reached out to point's miles away from the creature. The trees swayed gently in the breeze. Two dark figures could be made out. They sat in silence, wrapped up in their own thoughts.

Kikyo slid closer to InuYasha and placed her hand on his thigh. He tensed at the touch. She turned to face him and he did the same. Before he knew it, she closed the distance between them and pressed her lips to his. Shock ran through his veins. `What is she doing? I don't even know this girl,' he thought. She opened her mouth a little. He felt her tongue gently run over his lips begging to be let in. He closed his eyes and sighed, opening his mouth slightly. Her tongue slipped inside.

As their kiss deepened, Kikyo's hands started roaming over his body. She started with his thighs and worked her way up his chest. As she reached the top of his shirt, she gently unbuttoned it, trying not to alarm the hanyou. So lost in thought was he that he didn't notice that his shirt was slowly coming undone. He wrapped his arms around her and drew her body closer to his. She let out a moan in his mouth and he seized the opportunity to dive his tongue deeper within hers.

His shirt was unbuttoned except for the part that extended into his pants. She had stopped momentarily trying to decide whether she should continue her journey or not. After a few moments, she decided that she had better finish what she started, besides she had come out here with only one thought in her mind and she intended on completing it. She let her hands drop to his belt, which she quickly unlatched.

She moved her mouth from his and placed it on his neck. He whimpered for a moment before he felt her tongue gently gliding down his neck to his shoulder. His scent entered her nose and for a brief moment she cringed at the smell. She ran her tongue back up his neck and lingered on the spot in which a mate would have marked him. She kissed the spot and gently bit him making sure not to draw blood. The taste of his skin spiked and she could smell another scent on him…
