Chapter 3: To Labyrinthine Dances

 

“Good child, close your energy off, make sure you cannot feel any auras besides your own in your power center” said The witch.

 

It had been two days and Kagome had learned a great deal. The witch had done well coaxing her powers out of dormancy. Kagome however, was still unable to fully heal the wounds inflicted by Inuyasha.

 

The first lesson she learned was to block out an energy bind and block others from taking her energy even Kikyou who had a piece of her soul.

 

Kagome kept meditating with Midoriko's beads and called forth a barrier , the strength behind her barrier was stronger than any Hatsuka had ever seen or felt.

 

“good child now create a purifying energy orb just as I showed you” she said pushing kagome a bit

 

Kagome was breathing hard as she called forth her energy and formed a ball of pink light filled with concentrated purification energy.

 

“Good now hit this puppet with it” she said as she directed a puppet made with Naraku's hair to stand near the tree in front of Kagome

 

Kagome cracked an eye and gasped letting the energy fizzle out and she shook her head “NO” rapidly.

 

“Oh come child it is merely a puppet” said the frustrated witch

 

Kagome's eyes began to fill with anger as she glared at the witch. Over the past days she felt cold and empty without Naraku sleeping with her.

 

she knew now what she was missing which only made her miss him more, which in turn made her more frustrated as her lack of good rest made her cranky.

 

`Gods if this wasn't Naraku I'd be head over heels….. but why not?....Inuyasha has done more to hurt me than Naraku ever has….. honor and betrayal are two sides of the same coin…..which side has Inuyasha flipped?....” she thought looking on at the Naraku puppet.

 

`No man has ever made me feel like this, he was there for me , he cared for me after Inuyasha betrayed me….his kiss….Kami his kiss ' she thought as she justified her feelings toward the evil hanyou in her mind.

 

“Naraku” she breathed as she looked out toward the direction where she was picking up a faint trace of the jewel.

 

Kagome looked at the puppet after she looked toward the jewel. She approached the puppet and touched it's arm lightly letting her fingers dance over his skin seductively.

 

The puppet merely gazed at her and she noted the difference in the aura of the real thing and the puppet.

 

`He's never done anything to me….well, he tried to have Tsubaki taint me and Akago tried to take my eyes….but he never succeeded….. I wonder what he's really like….. what does he think about?.....is he only obsessed with the jewel? Has he ever been in love?....like Inuyasha' she thought looking up into the puppet's cold stare.

 

The feel of the puppet skin was also off as was the scent. She ran her hand through it's hair letting her fingers caress the soft strands while it eyed her strangely before she planted a light kiss on the lips which she noted were not as soft or warm as the real thing.

 

`I felt something…. I felt something in my soul when I kissed this demon…Naraku….the real Naraku' she thought as she kissed the puppet again on the cheek and let her hand caress his face for a moment before stepping away.

 

“just a puppet” she breathed inaudibly before she stepped back , the puppet followed her with it's heavy lidded eyes as she took an energy ball in her hand and launched it at him reducing him to dust upon impact.

 

She then glared at the smiling witch who bowed to her.

 

“I only have the means to make puppets of either Naraku or Kagura. Would you wish to kill a puppet of your own child?” asked the witch as kagome's face fell at the prospect.

 

She grown to love Kagura more with each passing day as the wind demoness cared for her and sat with her while she ate. They were bonding more and more.

 

Suddenly Kagura walked over to her from the other direction. Kagome smiled big and ran to the taller woman crushing her into a hug

 

“Look I know you're happy about being my mother but…can we take the hugging thing a bit slower…I'm not used to that” said Kagura in a strange tone as she noticed the witch watching them intently.

 

Kagome smiled and withdrew smiling at her more, she then took her right hand and put it over Kagura's heart and the left hand over her own heart and pulsed energy

 

Kagura shivered as the energy pulsed into her. kagome's head dropped as she continued to pour healing energy into her child.

 

Kagura felt the sorrows and anger from the wolf tribes' actions against her and the anger she felt towards Naraku lift from her heart.

 

Kagome dropped to her knees and Kagura cradled her.

 

“always worried about others….you haven't even healed your own wounds fully even though you're more than capable” said Kagura as she brushed hair from kagome's face tenderly.

 

“Your mother loves you more than her own life just as a mother should” said The witch looking down at the Miko Kagome with pride.

 

“This Miko is going to prevail where Tsubaki failed she is the strongest Shikon Miko I've ever seen, stronger even than my sister” said the witch as she watched Kagura cradle kagome gently

 

“Come let us take her inside to rest, I will let her dance as the sun is setting so she may lighten her heart, she is a bit heavy hearted since Naraku has not returned to her” said the witch as Kagura picked Kagome up and brought her inside.

 

Kagome stirred a bit in Kagura's arms and let out a sigh “Naraku” she breathed as Kagura looked down at her and smiled.

 

O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~ Southwestern Province O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O

 

“Ah Lord Naraku, how is your new palace? I see you've fully staffed and all, You will come to the council of lords in three moon cycles” said the Dragon Ryutarou brother of Ryukotsusei

 

“I will be honored to attend” said Naraku eyeing the lord

 

“We intend to induct you as well as present you with prospective mates” said the dragon bowing

 

“That will not be necessary, I will be marking my intended female very soon” said Naraku

 

Naraku had made up his mind after watching the Miko interact with the puppet earlier that day. He'd been watching her train with interest in Kanna's mirror and when he saw her show a mere puppet of him tenderness he'd decided he would tell her and show her how much he wanted her.

 

He would mark her as his for all eternity, she the only female he would ever have and he the only male she would ever had. The thought brought a small smile to his face. Something deep inside of him told him that it was meant to be, they belonged to one another.

 

The dragon lord spoke and stirred Naraku from his thoughts “Ah very well, you should bring her to the council as well so we may induct her. Which tribe does the demoness belong to?” asked the lord

 

“She is human” said Naraku casually as the demon curled his lip

 

“This will not fare the well in the eyes of the council Lord Naraku and if you are to be backed by my kingdom I will have to oppose to this union” he said

 

“I do not care, I wish her as my mate and I shall have her” said Naraku arrogantly

 

`your little council will not be able to stop me you fool, anyone who dares defy me will meet their end, even your little council' thought Naraku as he smirked

 

“were she a powerful human such as the Shikon Miko then there would be no problem” said the Dragon

 

“But…” he began but was cut off by a narrow eyed Naraku

 

“She is the Shikon Miko “ said Naraku trying to gauge the reaction from the lord

 

Relief washed over the lords face “Well this is another matter all together, the Shikon Miko is a prize among mates though I do hear that this particular Miko is without her jewel” said the lord

 

“yes and what of it?” asked Naraku narrowing his eyes

 

“Have you never been told the old legends of the Shikon Miko, of the power such a female holds?” asked the lord

 

“I know of the power of the jewel, I never knew the Miko herself held much more power than a strong purification power” he said lazily

 

“Ah but the jewel is her power my boy, you see there was a stupid human monk and a group of lower level yokai who twisted the legend into their own myth. My father's mother was a Shikon Miko. The scrolls hold the knowledge of her full power but I know a bit of it. You see there is no wish on that jewel that is a rumor only onis , lower level yokai an hanyou filth believe. The jewel is the concentrated power of the Shikon Miko, each one has a jewel inside to be sealed upon her first coupling with her chosen demon mate. Together they are to produce tai-yokai offspring stronger than any other demons. The Shikon Miko's purpose in life is to bring balance between human and demon kind and also to create tai-yokai who usually act as peace keepers. The jewel itself does hold some power but the real power is in the Miko when it is sealed inside of her” Said The demon

 

“If taiyokai are peacekeepers , why then did your brother engage in battle with the other tai-yokai Inutaisho, father of the despicable hanyou Inuyasha?” asked Naraku

 

“Because Inutaisho stole the Miko scrolls from the last living member of the Royal family of the Shiki kingdom where the Shikon Miko originated. The scrolls are necessary to unlock the Shikon Miko's powers. He dishonored our bloodlines by taking the scrolls and now his son is oblivious to the power he holds in his hands, I have no doubt in my mind that if Sesshomaru were to discover the power your mate to be holds he would want to challenge you for mating rights” said the dragon

 

“The same is to be said for the wolf prince and the Kitsune king who is without a mate still, these are the lesser tribes who do not have Shikon blood in their bloodlines already. The tigers and the hawk demons will most likely want to challenge you as well because like Sesshomaru , even though they have Shikon blood in their royal line they strive for more power” said the demon

 

“So you see the power lies in the female sealed with the jewel as a whole not in the jewel as those foolish lower yokai and hanyou seem to think” chuckled the demon

 

“it is reassuring that a noble demon, and ally to our kingdom such as yourself will be benefiting of the shiki blood, we must celebrate soon, take heed to my warning and mate your female soon for if she is discovered by the higher ranking demons in the west south or north she most certainly may be taken from you. I have heard many whispers of the power this strange new Miko holds. I have also heard she used to travel with the Hanyou son of my enemy before the dead Miko took her place. Though these trite little affairs are of no concern to me or any of the other noble houses” he said before he made his way out of Naraku's palace

 

before Naraku could drop his enchantment the demon turned to him and spoke

 

“Oh and my lord it seems you have some human villages near our borders that have had a hard winter and the humans are starving, I have sent them aid for now but you will need to move some grain from your stocks to take to those villages” said the dragon with a smile before he left

 

`what do I care if humans are dying, hmp fool, let them starve' thought Naraku as he dropped his charm and his ears became round once again and his aura became that of a hanyou he breathed hard as it was difficult to maintain the charm that made him seem to be a full demon and he was hard pressed to find a new charm that would last through his induction into the council of lords.

 

“it seems the witch failed to inform me of Kagome's true power, she must be planning something. So the truth is finally out, no wonder that arrogant fool Sesshomaru isn't after the jewel, there is no real power in the jewel alone …..the power lies in Kagome, interesting indeed. She is more than worthy to be called my mate” he mused thinking of kagome's soft body and how wonderful touching her had felt and how he could not sleep without her.

 

He slept the most wonderful sleep when he had her in his arms during her recovery, every night he would tend to her wounds and curl up behind her where he would be cast into a deep sleep just basking in her smell and feeling her soft body pressed into his. He had to prepare to retrieve the Miko scrolls so he could have Kagome at full power.

 

“I must pay the witch a visit…..as well as my mate to be” he muttered before he yelled

 

“Totomi !!” he roared suddenly a human girl came into the room and bowed low

 

“Is the room I ordered ready?” he asked angrily. He hated dealing with insipid human servant women, they either smelled of fear or lust. He hated the stench of human women in general but the stench of human female lust made his stomach churn. Though demoness lust was just as bad to him humans were just disgusting.

 

Kagome smelled nothing like a normal human, she smelled clean and pure , sweet and perfect. He longed to smell his mate to be…..he hoped he would be able to win her over fast, he did not want to have to force her to mate him. Though he had no ability to converse with his beast it was there and it wanted kagome and only kagome, this much he knew.

 

“Yes my lord , it is as you said, a room for the lady of the castle filled with extravagant clothing and combs and jewels” said the servant still bowing low, she smelled of fear and sadness which was fine with him as long as she did not lust after him. He made sure to kill any despicable servant who'd dare lust after him male or female. He was most disgusted when a guard he'd employed began to smell of lust around him, it was worse than the stench of female lust and made Naraku sick.

 

He'd made it a point to swiftly kill any servants who smelled of lust around him as quickly as possible for his stomach was sensitive. This rule would apply for his new mate as well.

 

He'd only ever found himself sexually aroused by one being and she was Kagome which confirmed that he in fact was a heterosexual. He also knew he would never lower himself to rutting anyone except her, up until he'd experienced several “wet” dreams about the priestess he'd found rutting to be disgusting and unnecessary. However, now the prospect of rutting Kagome as often as possible and implanting seed in her womb to make taiyokai heirs, made him feel almost giddy.

 

“Totomi you will be the lady's personal servant” said Naraku as the stupid girl's face lit up. She was not attractive by any standards and Naraku knew for a fact that she'd been rutting a stable boy which was absolutely fine with him so long as the ugly smelly human did not lust after him. Naraku's lip curled as her fear was replaced with excitement.

 

“Leave me, prepare the chambers for your mistress, I assume there is no bed in the chambers just as I ordered” he said looking down at her

 

“yes my lord , she is to sleep in your chambers , I have filled one of your personal drawers with her sleeping clothing” said the servant girl

 

“Very good Totomi” he said before she took her leave

 

he sat on his bed. It was an odd bed provided by the dragons, it was definitely a mainland creation which was raised off of the ground several feet. It made him a bit weary of falling over the edge but the comfort made up for it. He imagined laying with Kagome in his arms in the bed and frowned a bit when he though of her falling over the edge especially if she was pregnant.

 

He shook his head and decided he would ask her what she wanted him to do, he would forgo comfort for the sake of his mate in a heartbeat, which troubled him a bit as he'd never once in his life done anything that wasn't motivated by selfish intentions.

 

He'd made his mind up about wanting a kingdom upon his last conversation with Kagura. For some reason he felt the need to speak with her after he'd heard of her fate at the hands of the wolves.

 

He was careful not to mention that he knew, he just had to see if she was severely damaged which he determined she was not, not so he could tell anyway as he never did pay much attention to her.

 

She was his favorite child which is why upon her mothers supposedly permanent return to her home he set Kagura free.

 

She'd asked him the last time they spoke what he planned to do, did he plan to destroy all of the lands for that was surely what would happen if he continued as he was and then what would he do?

 

The question puzzled him, what would he do once he was a full demon and had the jewel? What does a powerful demon do?

 

He rules, he has lands where humans and demons live and he grows rich and powerful. That was when it struck him, he had to procure some lands of course the dragons approached him not long after he disposed of the panther devas as they procured a shard of the jewel and he needed it back so he slaughtered them and took the shard`.

 

Why did he lust after that jewel so badly…..why did he lust after the Miko so badly?.....Could it all be interlaced with his true fate?

 

He'd reabsorbed Akago not long ago but his burn scars did not return though his hanyou state remained and he reverted to his old humanoid form devoid of bone appendages, tails and extra eyes. Onigumo had finally been cleansed from his body and soul.

 

The dragons gifted him with the land of the panthers partially because that land was poorly tended and needed plenty of attention and because they were well aware that this lord Naraku was hated by the sons of Inutaisho their neighbor to the northwest.

 

They decided to gift this province known throughout the land as the southwest to this new lord. He was able to meet with the lord of the south wearing a charm but it was painful and left him drained, he was also unable to use it for long periods of time. It was the fact that he pulsed the aura of a powerful full demon that compelled the young lord of the south to gift this Naraku with the panther lands.

 

Naraku was now with lands but had yet to reach full demon status or take a mate but if things went as he'd planned the mate issue would be resolved all that remained was the problem of his hanyou status…..also the question of Kagome's sealing, could he seal her as a hanyou?

 

He had to get the scrolls, there had to be a spell in there that could help him become a full demon. He also had to figure out what it meant to rule a province.

 

He'd rejected the idea of a dragon clan advisor but he would rescind his rejection as soon as he and Kagome were mated and he was a full demon.

 

Naraku made his way to the north of his province in the neutral lands where the witch dwelled

 

He had all of the shards except the three Inuyasha had and one he could not figure out the location of. He would have to seek assistance to find it.

 

Naraku found his way to the clearing in front of the witch's dwelling and stopped in his tracks at the sight in front of him. There she was kagome wearing a deep blue dancing Kimono her inky black hair danced around her beautiful pale face.

 

Her blue eyes were bright against the backdrop of the Kimono, one he recognized as belonging to Kagura , she held a fan and was dancing his favorite dance. Her beautiful body moved with the wind, her tone limbs moved her as her curves were evident even through the kimono. The scent of her permeated the area making him want to go to her.

 

He had seen the mikagura dance done before but never done so beautifully as Kagome did it. It had been a day like this…. the day he first saw her dancing the mikagura dance, a dance reserved for Mikos, that was the day he decided to create Kagura with the blood of his miko Kagome , that was the first day he ever desired a female in a romantic way.

 

That day Kagome had stolen away a few moments to practice her mikagura for a festival at her shrine, Inuyasha had been with Kikyou and kagome took her opportunity. That very day Naraku had chosen to end Kagome's life himself. He came upon her in a clearing and he was mesmerized, her movement, her scent her beauty all captivated him fully. He watched her, longed for her and could not bring himself to kill her, that day he decided he wanted Kagome but Kagome like Kikyou belonged to Inuyasha, until he set her free.

 

His thoughts returned to him and he watched her move with the wind as if she could hear the music in it, as if the wind was her domain just letting it wash over her help cradle her moving body. She was the most enchanting beautiful thing he'd ever seen and the scent of her in the air was enough to drive him mad with need.

 

She smiled as she felt something familiar in the air but continued to dance, she was confident and comfortable in the witch's domain for she knew the witch had powerful wards around her land to make it nearly un-traceable to any wandering demons.

 

Kagome moved with the fan , eyes closed as Naraku approached her, it was like he was in a trance, her limbs moved gracefully as he came up behind her. He breathed in the scent of her , closed his eyes and lightly ran a hand up her raised arm. She shivered and gasped as their skin connected when he caught her wrist ever so lightly.

 

She knew it was him, she felt his aura. She sucked in breath as his other hand lightly danced through her hair and down her cheek.

 

He could smell her scent change and it drove him wild. He let his hand slide down her arm lightly as his other hand rested on her face. His finger slid down her milky arm and down to her middle where he gently wrapped his big hand around her delicate waist.

 

He brought his face down to her shoulder but did not touch her, he let the wind wash over them as he inhaled her scent hard and let his other hand slide down to cup her chin.

 

She leaned back into him and his breath caught as he pulled her flush against him with her back to his chest. She gasped and dropped her fan, which made him smile. she was the first to open her eyes as his hair danced around them wildly in the wind as did hers melding together and moving as one.

 

She turned her head and felt his breath against her cheek

 

“Naraku” she breathed as she closed her eyes again, he saw her lips move to his name and he bent down a bit more and captured her lips lightly.

 

She gasped at the feel of him, a feeling she longed for, a feeling he longed for.

 

 

She immediately deepened the kiss reaching back and fisting his beautiful hair. With one hand while the other reached back and wrapped around his waist and danced across his side.

 

He brought his hands in and enveloped her fully in his body clutching her tightly to him kissing her hard, letting his tongue explore her sweet succulent mouth.

 

She broke for air and scratched his head lovingly. He nuzzled her cheek and moaned as she rubbed her soft little hand over his own hand which was wrapped around her waist then his hip.

 

“you are beautiful” he breathed in her ear causing her to shiver at the feel of his hot breath.

 

He nuzzled her ear before his tongue darted out to lick the shell of it. She breathed hard as he let his right hand cup her jaw on the left side as he continued his ministrations on her right ear.

 

She breathed hard as he made his way back to her mouth , she longed for his velvety tongue in her mouth exploring her and pouring himself into her.

 

She finally got her wish as he pressed his lips to hers and gasped when she traced his lips with her own tongue asking for entrance.

 

He opened his mouth to let her take control of the soft sensual kiss. She slipped her tongue in his mouth deliberately cutting her tongue on his fang so he could taste her essence in full.

 

The kiss soon turned hot and passionate as his tongue responded to the taste of her sweet blood. He moaned into her mouth and spun her around not breaking the kiss.

 

She brought her hands up to his chest and he grabbed her wrists harshly full of passion before he pulled her against him.

 

She broke the kiss and looked into his eyes searching for that feeling she was given the last time she looked into his eyes. She reached up and stroked his cheek with her soft fingers. His breath caught as he thought of the last time she did this very thing.

 

He remembered that night `not you' her words haunted him as he looked into her eyes with pain and sadness remembering what he'd felt the last time he gave her his soul.

 

He went against every logical bone in his body and did it again, he caressed her soul with his flaring his Jaki to her waiting for her to either reject him or engulf him fully

 

“you” she mouthed “only you” she breathed before she pulled him down by the forlocks and crashed her mouth against his, pouring her aura into the kiss. Their essences caressed each other and she felt at peace, the most beautiful feeling she'd ever felt. She did not care that it was Naraku.

 

`If this was not meant to be it wouldn't feel so right' she thought as she clutched his kimono in the back pulling him into her as hard as she could.

 

`I don't care if this is a trick, I love him….I love him and I am not ashamed' she thought as she wrapped her arms around his neck and broke the kiss, her chest heaved as she caught her breath and buried her face in his neck.

 

he rested his chin on top of her head just letting the wild wind wash over them , sway them. He said nothing just enjoyed the feeling of her in his arms.

 

He frowned upon seeing Hatsuka walking toward them

 

“Kagome child the stew is made and ready for you” said the witch as kagome buried her face further into Naraku's chest before she nuzzled his neck and pulled away from him gently

 

she turned and walked toward the witch still holding Naraku's hand

 

he let go but she did not, she looked back searching him for an explanation

 

“I must speak to the witch, I will be in shortly” he said and with that she let go of his hand and smiled at him before she turned to leave.

 

“You wish to mate her” said Hatsuka

 

“yes” said Naraku simply as he watched his chosen female walk into the hut.

 

“She must be sealed by a full demon, I see that the Dragon has told you of her secrets” said the witch

 

“yes, I wanted her before I knew of these secrets” he said in an irritated tone

 

“Yes I know that, perhaps there is a way for you to seal her however, we will not know until you retrieve the scrolls” said The witch relishing her ability to read minds.

 

Had she known she could not read the minds of taiyokai she would have never involved herself with Inutaisho

 

“She desires me as well” he said looking in the direction she left in.

 

“She loves you…..she recognizes your soul” corrected the witch before she turned to leave

 

`as you love her, only you do not know it is love for you have never known love before' she thought before she turned to him again

 

“Come and have some stew boy, we must include Kagome in our plans to take the scrolls back for this concerns her as well, you will need to learn to trust her completely if you are to be her mate” she said before she made her way into the hut leaving him stunned to follow after he picked up the fan Kagome dropped.

 

O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O To the Northwest O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O

 

“Inuyasha I need to speak to you” said Kikyou

 

“Yeah what is it?” he asked as he sat near the fire he'd lit to cook his dinner. Kikyou didn't eat food, just souls which he tried not to think about he knew the souls she took were souls of women who would never reach the afterlife or get to reincarnate since she used their soul energy and consumed them fully leaving no trace of them behind.

 

He shuddered and tried not to think of Kikyou's method of nourishment as she began to speak

 

“Inuyasha I cannot sense the shard any longer” she said

 

“has it moved?” he asked intently

 

“no, I do not have the power to sense the jewel any longer” she said looking away

 

“WHAT?!? THEN WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU LEADING US!?!?!” he roared

 

“I sensed it in this direction the last time I had some of Kagome's powers” said Kikyou

 

“WHAT?!?!” he roared

 

“I never could sense Jewel shards without siphoning her powers, I had been binding her and stealing her power ever since I was brought back. I set her free when she healed me and now she has her powers back” said Kikyou looking off

 

“Well steal them back!” roared Inuyasha

 

“I cannot, it seems she's put up a barrier and now even I cannot reach her power” said Kikyou angrily

 

“but I though you were the real Shikon Miko” said Inuyasha in a strange tone

 

“no Inuyasha, I was never the Shikon Miko….it was Kagome whose destiny was to be born the Shikon Miko. I am simply the ex incarnation of the soul that is the Shikon miko” Said Kikyou looking down

 

“the jewel is hers” she whispered.

 

“well now we've really gotta find her so we can get the jewel and use it for somthin useful” he said angrily

 

“And what would you use it for Inuyasha? To become and full blooded demon, to finish tainting your blood?” she said with hatred in her voice

 

“To….to bring you back to life Kikyou” he said in a low tone

 

“FOR WHAT INUYASHA!? I cannot be with you……you're a hanyou and I a priestess, I cannot be with you….I find you disgusting…..in any case I am not supposed to be alive Inuyasha……” she breathed

 

“Wha…what?” he asked with tears in his eyes

 

“Every time I put my lips on yours I imagined you were human….I cannot let you defile me as a hanyou” she said

 

“I won't turn into a human!” he said angrily

 

“Of course not….perhaps we should give the jewel to Kagome and let her take it to her time….if we can get her time portal to work” said Kikyou

 

“WHAT?!?! I'm not giving the jewel to Kagome” he said angrily

 

“Why are you angry with her Inuyasha it is you who wronged her” said Kikyou looking at him with contempt

 

“She should have stayed in her time” he spat

 

“I do not think she came here willingly, when I found her she was desperately trying to go back through and she told me not to tell you she was here” said Kikyou eyeing the hanyou

 

“What? She told you not to tell me?” he asked

 

“ yes Inuyasha she said she did not want to be here and that she would help me if I helped her get back though the well and did not tell you she had been here. Then she healed me and….” Kikyou trailed off as Inuyasha remembered his actions

 

“well it don't matter anyway, Naraku has her and who knows what he's done to her” said Inuyasha trying to convince himself that it was her fault she was captured and that she deserved whatever Naraku was doing to her.

 

“Inuyasha, I cannot stay with you. I fear if I stay with you I will meet my end too soon, though I know my end is nearing” said Kikyou as she looked into Inuyasha's eyes

 

“Go to kagome find her and save her, it is she who always accepted you and never doubted you” said Kikyou

 

“The truth is Inuyasha, Fifty years ago I was going to use the jewel to untaint your blood and leave you. I only stayed with you upon resurrection because I did not want my silly little reincarnation to best me and take you. Now however, it does not matter, if she lives trough what ever torture Naraku is surely subjecting her to I know she will always love you as you are but I cannot. ” she said before she turned into the forest and was gone

 

Inuyasha was left in tears next to the fire.

 

He'd forsaken kagome for Kikyou , kagome who loved him regardless of his demon blood. Kagome who forgave him no matter what, sweet beautiful kagome whom his heart desired still. Kagome was warmth where Kikyou was cold even in life. Kagome was soft and vulnerable and she was all he wanted now and forever.

 

“kagome” he breathed as he got up and ran as fast as he could toward the scent of Sango and Miroku, the jewel shards were with Miroku since Kohaku had been killed by Kikyou, Sango however could not protect them properly so Inuyasha let Miroku take them.

 

Now Inuyasha thought of one thing, Kagome and her safety. “Kagome please forgive me” he said under his breath as he headed toward his old group

 

O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O Neutral Lands of the Witch O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O

 

“We must find the last Jewel shards in the wolf prince's legs” said Naraku as he sat next to Kagome at the small table enjoying his stew.

 

Kagome set her stew down and looked away a bit. She knew in her heart that Naraku did not merely see her as a shard detector but she remembered the feeling she got when she found out that was all she was to Inuyasha , how she loved him and how he'd betrayed her.

 

Naraku eyed her strangely and reached over to her. He lifted her chin so he could look into her eyes

 

“What is it? What brings you such sorrow? Do you care for the filthy wolf?” he asked angrily

 

Kaogme looked down and furrowed her brow ` Kouga is a friend you big doof' she thought

 

`leave us” he said and with that the witch and Kagura left the room leaving kagome with Naraku.

 

“NOT KIKYOU…..NOT SHARD DETECTOR” she mouthed pointing at herself. She watched Naraku's face twist in anger.

 

His eyes widened as well , he shot up form the table and pulled her to face him harshly as he dug his claws into her wrists

 

“YOU THINK THIS NARAKU WOULD STOOP SO LOW AS TO KEEP YOU BECAUSE YOU SEEM TO RESEMBLE THAT FILTHY PILE OF BONES?!?!” he roared in her face

 

She looked down as huge tears fell from her eyes, He smelled her blood and looked at his hands, he immediately let go of her writs and she dropped to the floor sobbing

 

His chest felt tight and he felt like screaming, he felt like doing anything she said just to make her stop crying, at that point he would have a nice tea with Inuyasha just to see her smile again

 

He looked down and bit his pride. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him

 

She did not protest as she was too broken “you are nothing like Kikyou, She is cold and you are warmth….kami you fill my body and soul with warmth I've never felt, your eyes are the color of a warm clean hot spring while hers are the color of the cold dark soil from whence she came.

 

Her stench is that of grave bones but even before that ….long ago she smelled of something bitter, her scent was cold and bitter and empty as were her eyes. When I look at you I see everything Kikyou is not , I see warmth and beauty Kami I see beauty and light , light I want to bask in like a cat” he said as she stopped crying and looked up at him

 

She smiled her heavenly smile at him and stopped crying. She relaxed against him and rested her head in his chest. He flared his jaki to calm her and kept his arms tightly wrapped around her.

 

“Now about the wolf…” he began but was silenced by her lips on his.

 

She kissed him lightly and pulled away form him , she rested her forehead against his and mouthed “ONLY YOU” before she nuzzled his nose with hers

 

He calmed and she rested her head on his shoulder just enjoying the feel of his embrace.

 

He took her bowl of stew and brought it to her. “you must eat, you are still healing” he said as she began to eat slowly

 

“ We must find the wolf shards and take last shards from Inuyasha” said Naraku as he felt her shiver at the mention of the silver haired hanyou

 

`I need to ask her to be my mate….I will wait until we have spent more time together' he thought nervously.

 

Kagome put her bowl down and stayed snuggled into Naraku's embrace.

 

`gods why him?....HIM OF ALL PEOPLE!?.......love is so strange' she thought as she caressed his face and he leaned into her touch

 

O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O somewhere a bit west O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O

 

“A new lord you say?” said Miroku to the young woman he'd been talking to

 

“Yes, he is said to be a great demon and enemy of the western lord” said the woman

 

“I am to be employed in his palace starting next week, he is expecting his mate to join him, she is said to be a powerful Miko” she added

 

“What is this lord's name?” asked Miroku

 

“His name is guarded for some reason, he is known as the lord of the southwest, it seems he is some kind of insect yokai but I am not sure” she said stroking Miroku's arm suggestively

 

“And what part of the castle will you be employed in?” he asked trying to ignore her advances

 

“in the laundry cellar, I will be washing and drying the court clothing and linens” she said

 

“well thank you for the lovely conversation my lady” said Miroku as he tried to leave the woman but she held his robes

 

Sango was sitting at the table in the inn where he'd left her drinking Sake and thinking, she'd not even noticed he was with another woman or if she had she did not care.

 

Suddenly a young solider walked into the inn, he had been wounded by and arrow and was in need of a healer.

 

Sango rushed to his side and tried to tend to his wound while they summoned a healer.

 

“Hold still” she commanded as she pulled the arrow form his shoulder, she examined it and gasped

 

“Who shot you?” she asked intently

 

“A strange Miko with cold dark eyes, I was in a spring bathing and she came upon me, she asked me to lay with her and she began to kiss me but stopped when she sensed something” he said looking away

 

`he is a quarter demon' thought Sango as she felt his aura

 

she bent down to his ear `you are part demon' she whispered and he nodded

 

“your secret is safe with me, which direction is she in?” asked Sango as he pointed

 

“Kirara” Sango roared and before Miroku could even reach her Sango was off

 

She searched the clearing until she found soul stealers.

 

Kikyou was sitting at the base of a tree breathing hard

 

“I will not even get to know a man before death” she huffed as she was fed souls but was unable to consume the full energy of each soul which left her feeling drained.

 

“Why did you do it Kikyou?” asked a voice from beside her

 

“And what is that demon slayer?” asked Kikyou in an arrogant tone

 

“Why did you kill Kohaku? You could have waited…..” she said as tears burned her face

 

“I put him out of his misery, he wanted to die” she said lazily

 

“Kikyou-sama, three days ago Midoriko came to me in a dream, she told me you were to be released from this life and that the weapon that had to be used to carry that duty out is Hiraikotsu” she said lowering her gaze

 

“You will not dispatch me!” roared Kikyou as she went for her bow only to have in knocked out of her hands by Sango before she was kicked hard across the face.

 

“go in peace….Miko sama” said Sango before she looked straight into Kikyou's eyes and steadied her weapon.

 

O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O Witch's Hut O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O

 

Kagome laid down in her futon , they'd moved her into another private room. The hut was more of a house than a hut. It was well built and had four rooms besides the main room and altar room.

 

Incense and candles burned in Kagome's room as she read her strange scroll. Naraku had been watching her from the doorway but she had yet to notice him as she was engrossed in her book.

 

`she can read…is she educated? That would explain why she often carried those large scrolls with her in that yellow sack' he thought as he sighed thinking of how he used to watch her

 

Kagome was startled and looked over to the doorway to see him staring in her direction.

 

She looked at him with a soft smile and caught his gaze, she patted the sleeping mat as if asking him to sit beside her

 

He looked at her oddly for a moment before he went to sit with her. She shifted and snuggled into him under his arm and continued to read her scroll as if that was where she was meant to be.

 

He looked down at the strange Miko and felt his heart lighten at the thought that she was so comfortable with him.

 

`she does not fear me any longer' he thought as he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her further into his side until they were as close as possible. She let out a soft murmur at the shifting but continued to read.

 

A few moments passed and Kagome sat reading in Naraku's embrace as he thought back to the conversation earlier just after he'd calmed her from their fight.

 

The witch and Kagura had returned and they had discussed the plans to enter the castle of the western lord.

 

Kagura had been charged with distracting Sesshomaru during his routine patrol of his lands but Kagome was adamant about not letting Kagura handle such a dangerous task.

 

Kagura was happy that someone cared for her well-being and she felt she owed it to her mother to help with the scrolls.

 

Eventually Hatsuka convinced Kagome that Kagura would be ok as long as she kept her distance and was careful.

 

Naraku himself was going to enter the castle using a strong potion made by the witch which allowed him to change forms. It was a common misconception that the hanyou could shape shift. This was not a natural ability for him it took a great toll on him physically and he hated using the potion at all unless it was absolutely necessary as it was in this case.

 

He would also use scent masking beads Kagome would make, Hatsuka knew the spell but had no Miko powers left from tainting her blood therefore Kagome would make the beads.

 

Naraku was stirred from his thoughts by a little raspy yawn and some tugs on his clothing.

 

Naraku's eyes widened in shock as kagome's little fingers untied his vest and went to untie his Hakama.

 

His heart raced and he grabbed and stayed her little hands in his

 

“We cannot ….not until…..” he began in a shocked voice when suddenly she began to giggle her raspy little giggle

 

she shook her head “no” with a smile and then took her hands and pressed them together and then rested her head on them and closed her eyes making the sign for sleep.

 

“You…you wish for me to sleep next to you?” he said as relief washed over his face

 

It was not that Naraku did not want to engage in such acts with his Miko it was just that he had to be certain of the manner in which the ceremony had to be completed and he was finding it harder and harder to resist touching his Miko as of late. He knew if they began he would be hard pressed to stop himself from mating her without her jewel.

 

He knew that reason Tsubaki was so weak and useless even as the Shikon Miko was because she mated a demon without her jewel being in her body. She was tainted and the jewel would not be able to return to her body as her body had sealed without it.

 

He would not condemn Kagome to the same fate as Tsubaki. He would have to be careful with his little dancer.

 

She began to remove her own outer layer of clothing and urged him again to remove his , he finally let her undress him.

 

She moved over his body with care, unlacing and pulling his clothing off before she folded it neatly next to their futon leaving him in his thin under layer of clothing.

 

She crawled up his body and was face to face with him, she looked up at him with pure lust in her eyes

 

`I know I can't make love to you but kami I want you…..you look so damn fine….' She thought as she looked into his eyes

 

she bent down and began to kiss his neck. His breath hitched as she touched him, he was like a horny nervous teenager shaking a bit as he pulled her body into his so she was now straddling his thighs

 

he pulled her into a hot kiss and let his hands roam her body. His heart raced as his hand grazed her breast causing her hiss out a breath.

 

He became a bit brazen and reached out and kneaded the fleshy mounds in his hands through her sleeping robe.

 

She let out a wanton moan as his clumsy hands squeezed and caressed her firm full breasts.

 

`these are amazing' he thought as he felt his flaccid cock fill with blood.

 

His eyes widened when small delicate hands reached into his robes and caressed his bare skin.

 

“Kagome” he breathed as she ran her hands softly up his thigh and toward his now rock hard shaft.

 

“no” he breathed

 

“we must wait” he said breathlessly as he laid down all the way and pulled her into his arms.

 

He spooned up behind her and threw his leg lazily over her hip, unintentionally rubbing his still hard member into her backside.

 

`oh no, I can't leave him hard like that, I want to taste him' she thought .

 

She turned in his embrace and began to kiss him again. She let her soft tongue part his lips and dominated his mouth leaving him breathless and lethargic.

 

“DAMN IT MIKO WE CANNOT CONSUMATE UNTILL I AM SURE OF SOMETHING!” he roared in her face taking her wrists roughly. Suddenly he was aware that her gaze was not scared or sad but filled with fire, lust and mischief. Kagome indeed liked it rough.

 

She reached up and kissed him roughly shoving her tongue in his mouth and abusing the muscle before biting his lip and drawing blood as she shifted up and pressed her bare breasts into his face causing him to lick and suckle her like mad before she pulled away.

 

A “pop” was heard as he released one of her succulent breasts from his mouth. She bent down and pulled his abused lip in her mouth biting it again causing him to growl, he clawed her back hard and she arched up and let out a silent moan and the scent of her arousal spiked hard as he realized his Miko liked the abuse.

 

He smirked and she smiled before She pressed her chest into his face again and looked down with a lusty expression. He took her breasts in his mouth roughly and nipped and suckled them hard causing the heat to pool in her abdomen fast and his rock hard shaft to twitch at the thought of his dirty little virgin Miko.

 

She pulled away and looked down at her reddened bloody breasts and smiled. She made her way down his body.

 

“not yet” he breathed loosing his resolve as she kissed her way down his neck and to his chest. She laid him down flat on his back and he was too aroused to stop her.

 

She opened his thin sleeping robes and pressed open mouthed kisses down his chest before lightly flicking each of his nipples with her pink tongue

 

She looked up at him occasionally with innocent eyes as he let out moans and groans of pleasure.

 

She licked and sucked his abdomen paying attention to each rib alternating soft kisses with gentile nips and licks , as she neared her goal she opened his sleeping robe fully to see his long thick shaft.

 

 

She'd never seen one so big, all of the toys they'd used in her pleasure classes were much smaller than this. Even the men in the porn movies she'd seen paled in comparison to her very well endowed lover and she knew she had a task ahead of her fitting his whole length into her skilled mouth.

 

Even though it was her first time doing such an act to a real man she felt like she knew exactly what to do, she was calm and relaxed as she went back to work on his tone abdomen.

 

She kissed and nipped his hip muscles before she made her way to his belly button, he sucked in breath as she dipped her tongue in and kissed the small hole.

 

She then licked the length of black hair that ran from his belly button to his nest of curls causing him to moan hard and her to smirk

 

She got very close to his twitching shaft and let her hot breath hit it making it twitch even more as he looked down in wonder at this girl.

 

His mind wandered to an earlier conversation he'd had with the witch when kagome went to bathe with Kagura. The witch informed him that though she was pure in every way which he could smell for himself, Kagome was trained in the ancient sutra land pleasure arts and that he would greatly benefit from mating her.

 

He was pulled out of his thoughts when she began to gently nip and suck his inner thighs making him groan out again as she neared her goal

 

Finally she took him in her hand and gave a perfect stroke as he hissed out breath before she licked the moisture pooling at his tip, which made him groan hard with pleasure as his eyes widened and he began to writhe and thrust up in a twitchy manner.

 

He looked down at her with wide crimson eyes locking her gaze with his before she caressed his body lovingly to calm him and took his full length to the hilt into her skilled throat gulping and using her tongue to add sensations as she bobbed up and down a bit.

 

He was in ecstasy as he did not know pleasure like this was possible. She began to pump him hard with her hand while she used her tongue and lips to pleasure his sac and perineum causing him to moan loudly and fist her hair.

 

He closed one eye as she began to bob her head up and down again taking him all the way down to the hilt on every downward stroke. Her nose hit his nest of black curls on the way down which made her giggle a bit at the sensation.

 

He arched back and groaned as she used her tongue and blunt teeth to add sensations to his weeping cock.

 

She'd removed the upper part of her robes fully leaving her large pert breasts marked by his love bare for him to watch as her head bobbed up and down between his legs.

 

He could smell her arousal which only made him grip her hair tighter and groan. He felt his abdominal muscles clench as he neared what could only be release.

 

He could feel the most intense pleasure he'd ever felt in waves as this little Miko stroked and swallowed his swollen organ. Using her skilled hands and mouth in time to make his toes curl and his hands shake.

 

`kami is this is just her mouth, the mating will be amazing' he thought before he moaned again as she was using his foreskin to create friction while her little mouth worked his tip.

 

She was taking him deep and rolling his sac in her fingers when she felt him tighten. She looked up at him with innocent eyes as he looked down at her with a goofy expression with one eye closed the look spoke of his undeniable pleasure while his hand gripped her hair until his knuckles were white.

 

If she could smile with his huge cock in her mouth she would but at that very moment he released in the back of her throat shooting hot sweet liquid into her as she gulped it down greedily. He thrust up into her and she let him stroking his hips gently as he spilled an ungodly amount of come into her mouth making her swallow hard and fast causing even more sensations to his thick shaft.

 

It was a wonder to her that she was able to do so well with her throat injury but she'd healed more and more every day, she had not had a bloody coughing fit for a while which told her the inside was healed as well, all that remained was to get rid of the scar and regain her ability to speak.

 

She licked him clean and swallowed every drop of his release before she nuzzled his now shrinking rod and tenderly closed his robes and settled next to him.

`Kami she smells so sweet I need to taste her but If I do I will need to be inside of her' he thought as he fought the urge to taste her sweet nectar.

 

`wow my first blow job, all and all I'd say I did well” she thought as he pulled her to him tightly and she buried her face in his chest and they intertwined their legs while he caressed her hair and nuzzled the top of her head.

 

“That was wonderful” he breathed into her ear before he kissed it and hugged her tighter

 

“mmmm, rest now my love” he said absently and half asleep before he drifted off into a deep sleep.

 

She was wide eyed as smiled into his chest `my love?' she thought before she too met the land of dreams.

 

Kagura smiled as she made her way out of the hut, she could smell what was transpiring and like all demon children she was pleased that her parents smelled like one another, even if she was not conceived in the conventional way.

 

She made her way to the edge of the forest where the cool ocean sand met the dense forest and she plopped down to watch the waves crash letting the sand between her toes.

 

She looked up at the sky and thought `my what a starry night'
