Foreign Exchange Orphan

Chapter Ten:

Eventually, Part Two

A/N: This chapter is all about Kikyo and Naraku. They're plan is coming together, and Naraku is falling even deeper in love with her, yuck! Sorry, no Inu/Kag fluff in this chapter, not even Nar/Kik fluff, just the Shikon Shards, ect.

Disclaimer: ->sigh<- why do I even bother? I don't own Inuyasha.

The mansion was dark, even though it was late morning outside. The bright sunlight couldn't even struggle through the thick drapes. A small girl, clad in white, with dark glittering eyes, holding a mirror swept through the hallways, filled with scrolls, viciously expensive pieces of artwork, and long, musty carpets. The girl turned the corner, her pale, wispy white hair clinging to her face, as she stepped into a large room. A crackling fire roared in the hearth, in a red armchair sat a man.

"Yes, Kanna," he said, his deep voice echoing throughout the room.

"Naraku." Her voice was devoid of emotion. "It is almost time."

"Good. Now where is Kagura, I expected her to be here on time!" he snapped, long, pale fingers grasping the arms of the chair in anger.

"I will get her." The girl seemed to glide away.

In a few minutes, she returned, with a woman, much taller than herself, with short black hair pulled up and a long, sweeping kimono.

"What do you want now Naraku!" the woman growled. She was less creepier than Kanna.

"Kagura, I told you to be here an hour ago." Naraku didn't turn to face her, instead his eyes, a cold, writhing red, continued to gaze at the fire.

"I slept in so what!"

"You want the Shikon Jewel, do you not?" he asked.

"Yes," she growled, knowing he was getting the better of her.

"Is everyone ready?" he questioned, now turning. His pallor seemed to stand out as his dark hair framed his hideous face. (Sorry, I think Naraku is so UGLY!)

"Yes. But what about Kikyo!? She gets to sleep it!"

"She is not needed yet, Kagura."

"Needed for what?" came a sleepy voice. Kikyo, wearing a long, dark dress was peering critically at Naraku, as she stood in the tall archway.

"Ah, my dear Kikyo. I thought, you might want to be present for this."

"Then why didn't you wake me up!" she yelled. Naraku tensed.

"Well, I might as well tell you the whole scheme, now that you are going to be mines." The last part of his sentence had been all mutters. Kikyo glared at him.

"Sit." She spat at Kagura and Kanna, then swept to the seat placed beside him.

"You. . . are in love with Inuyasha, am I correct?" Kikyo's lips turned into a sneer.

"What of him?"

"Do you know why he was an orphan? Do you know why his mother discarded him in the streets, more likely the orphanage? Do you still ponder on the fact of your abandonment? And Kagome's strong likeness to you." Kikyo glowered at the mention of Kagome, but nodded.

"Inuyasha's father was a powerful dog demon that practically ran the lands of Japan long ago. He crushed foes with one swept of his fangs, he ruled the western lands. Such a powerful foe he was. Yet, he had one weakness. Humans. A particular human to be exact. Inuyasha's mother, Saoko. At the time she was pregnant, and he had found quite a few Shikon Shards and was bringing them home. Knowing that he would be at least three times as powerful with them in his possession, I devised a plan. Long before Kagura and Kanna, we raided his house, finding Saoko in labor. To save his son and wife, he gave up his life for them. How tragic." His voice was cold, and merciless, as a small snicker was issued from him. "Saoko was most upset, and as Inuyasha grew older, she refused to grow close to him, knowing that one day, she would have to give him away, for his protection. I knew not that he was so powerful then, and I don't even think he knows of his potential. For, his father had left him a gift. He had already made plans with a sword smith to make him a most glorious, dangerous sword. It was entrusted to him, in a long box that he has had all of his 17 years, yet he is unable to open it. But, if we kill him now, he won't pose as a problem." Naraku stopped and drew in a deep breath, studying Kikyo's reaction.

"So. . . that means Inuyasha is a demon?"

"Half demon," he corrected. Kikyo seethed.

"That's why he has those horrible, ugly dog ears!" she screeched. (OH NO YOU DIDN'T! proceeds to beat up Kikyo. She dissed Inu's ears!)

"Yes. So, you do not care if. . . he dies?"

"Why should I! He is a thing of the past, a worthless half demon not worthy of me."

"My dear Kikyo, I was hoping you would say something like that!"

"No what of me and Kagome?"

"That," he began. "You will find out later. Here." He handed Kikyo a sheet of slightly crinkled paper and a quill.

"Write to Inuyasha. A distress letter. So that he will come fleeing to your rescue!" Naraku chuckled darkly.

"Kanna, Kagura, are you prepared?"

"Yes."

"Good. Now my plan proceeds!"

CHAPTER ELEVEN:

THE NEW MOON

Inuyasha stared up at the sky. He had been unusually edgy and snippy lately. Suddenly, his body pulsed he was changing! His claws disappeared, his amber eyes turned violet, his ears turned into human ones, and finally, his hair was black.

"Another stupid new moon!" he growled, though it was much less impressive.

"Inuyasha." Dammit! He hated not knowing who was sneaking up on him, even if it was Kagome. "Inuyasha, what's wrong? Omigod, what happened?"

Later Days~*
