Chapter 16: Lucky

Their mouths were locked together in a feverish kiss.

“Naraku.” Kikyo's head fell back as he began to press wet kisses to her throat.

She froze the instant she felt one of his tentacles sliding toward the area between her legs. “Please don't.” She pulled back slightly, only because he let her.

He looked at her slightly annoyed. “I won't use my tentacles to penetrate you, but I will use them.” His mouth closed back over hers before she could respond.

Green eyes stared down at the dark haired male as he sank to his knees before her. His large human like hands held her hips.

She could feel the difference in Naraku's hands. Sesshomaru's hands were soft, and delicate, but very powerful and lethal.

Naraku's hands were callused, rough, and larger than Sesshomaru's. Kikyo knew that for whatever reason, demon skin was thicker, but softer than human skin was. Maybe since Naraku had once been human, his hands remained like those of a human.

Kikyo froze as those hands began to untie the sash around her waist. Just as he pushed open her top, Kikyo's hands clenched his head tightly.

"Don't worry Kikyo. I won't be gentle with you." He was looking forward to really being rough with her and if the way she was gripping his head was any indication, she wanted him to be rough too.

"I am just alive with anticipation." Kikyo purred. He didn't need to know the feelings going through her was her channeling spiritual energy.

His hands rapidly worked at her pants. "I'm never going to forget this Kikyo." He could feel the barest hint of her powers, but just figured it was because she was so stimulated.

"I'm sure you won't," Kikyo said dispassionately. Naraku slumped to the floor in a naked heap following Kikyo's jolt of purifying energy. She watched him for a second, before she saw that he was breathing still. "Damn." She muttered. She didn't kill him. She didn't think that she could have. It would take her energy and Kagome's to purify Naraku. She walked to Naraku's robe and removed a few things from it. She pulled her robe closed and walked to the door.

She started when she saw the girl in white standing in front of the door. "I know what you did, Kikyo." Her voice held no emotion, but that was normal. Kanna slipped past Kikyo and into the room. "But I know why you did it. Don't worry. When he wakes up, he will remember something totally different than what actually happened. He will remember being with you the way he had always wanted."

"You can do that?"

"Naraku does not know all the things I can do. He never saw the true magnitude of my powers, before he absorbed me. You need stay in this room until I am finished. You can't leave the compound until he wakes up, so he can dismiss you." Kanna pulled the door closed.

"What if it doesn't work?" Her whole plan would be shot to hell and he would destroy her.

Or worse.

Kikyo watched as Kanna's mirror began to glow a faint blue color. The small girl was standing in front of Naraku. Her eyes empty and creepy as she looked up at Kikyo and smiled slightly. "It will."

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

Kagura sneered at Kikyo in disgust as she walked smugly from Naraku's chambers. Kagura tapped her fan against her shoulder. “Who's the better fuck?”

Kikyo looked at the wind witch, not in the least bit surprised by her question or the loathing in her voice. “Who do you think?”

“You know he rapes me. He rapes me after he watches you with Sesshomaru in Kanna's mirror.” Kagura confessed.

Kikyo stared at her. “I know. I saw the two of you in his castle a year ago.”

Kagura gaped at her. The idea that someone had seen Naraku violating her made her ill. “How could you let him take you?”

“I have a very vivid imagination, Kagura," Kikyo replied, cryptically.

“You think fucking Naraku is the right thing? You're disgusting.”
Kikyo shrugged. The more people in Naraku's fortress who thought she actually slept with Naraku, the better off she'd be. She had done something very good. One of the best things she had ever done when she had come here intending to left Naraku have his way with her. She stared at Kagura. “So I've been told.”

“Kagura.” The two turned at the sound of Naraku's voice. He looked slightly disoriented as he stood in the doorway, completely nude. His three large tentacles waving behind him like a group of tails. His cock was fully aroused and pointing at Kikyo. The heavy, bulky muscle on his chest glistened with sweat. Strands of his dread-lock like black hair clung to his pale skin. Cold red eyes were shining with lust, satisfaction, and malevolence, but were glazed over with the barest hint of confusion. His snake like tongue flicked over his thin, dry lips. “Come here, Kagura.”

Kagura shook as she approached him. “Yes, master Naraku?”

Two of his tentacles wrapped around her waist, jerking her flush against him. His hands gripped the side of her head and laughed softly at the terror in her hot pink eyes. He pressed against her even more, forcing his erection against her stomach. His lips trailed across her cheek. “Take her to the dry well in the Forest of Inuyasha and finish her off. Take Kohaku with you. I know he remembers everything. Kill him and I'll let you be tonight.” He released her suddenly and laughed as she fell to the bone scattered floor.

Kikyo rushed forward to help Kagura to her feet. “Get off of me!” She jerked away.

“Damn it, Naraku! Do you always have to be such a bastard?”

His hand cracked across her face. Now that he had gotten his lust for Kikyo out of his system, it seemed that he could hurt her, but his heart, what little of it there was, hurt at the thought of killing her.

“Don't tell me how to treat my servants, Kikyo. Kagura will take you to the dry well in Inuyasha's Forest.” His lips brushed Kikyo's as his hand softly stroked her face where he had struck her. “Goodbye Kikyo.” He turned away. “Remember what I told you, Kagura.” He didn't turn around as he closed the rice paper door.

Naraku watched from the window as three of his problems flew away on a huge white feather. Kagura would kill both of them for sure, and tomorrow night, he would kill Kagura. He began to pull on his robes. He needed to find a willing whore in the village because he was above pleasuring himself.

“Do you want me to follow them with the saimyousho?” Hakudoushi asked as he walked into the room.

“No. I trust Kagura with this mission.” Naraku continued dressing.

“Are you some kind of half wit?! What if…?”

Hakudoushi was jerked off his feet when Naraku grabbed him by his hair and jerked the small boy eye level with him. “If you continue to question me, I will spend the evening with you. You will take Kagura's place. Is that what you want?”

“No master, I'm sorry for questioning you.” The boy quivered as Naraku dropped him.

“Good, I'll be back before dawn. When Kagura returns, lock her in the cellar.” He walked from the room.

Hakudoushi didn't reply until he knew that Naraku was gone. He knew what Naraku's precious, Kanna had done. How she had helped that bitch, Kikyo decieve Naraku into thinking that he actually had sex with her. He still didn't know why. Kikyo had to have some kind of motivation, but Hakudoushi had no idea what it could be. If Naraku was going to be such a dick to him and hand out such threats, he didn't have to know. Hakudoushi would be damned if he told Naraku. He could just suffer from his own stupidity. “Dumb ass.” With that, he sat down to sulk.

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

Kagura landed at the well with Kikyo and Kohaku. She dreaded the idea of killing the boy. He was just a pawn in Naraku's fucked up game. He deserved a second chance. Kikyo, on the other hand, Kagura had no problem killing. The whore was fucking Naraku, while she claimed to love Inuyasha and was mated to Sesshomaru. Besides, any woman who knew what Naraku was and let him fuck her anyway, deserved to die.

Kikyo took three steps from Naraku's henchmen, fell to her knees and began to vomit. She wiped the back of her hand across her mouth after she finished wrenching.

“What's wrong with you?” Kagura snarled at her.

“I've always reacted like this to Naraku. He disgusts me, more than you could ever know.”

“Yeah right.” Her snort wasn't lost on Kikyo. “Then why did you fuck him?”

“I didn't. But to save you he had to think I did.” Kikyo stood up.

“What?” Kagura jerked back as if Kikyo had slapped her.

Kikyo reached into her sleeve and pulled out a reddish-pink jewel. “Doing what I did was the only way I could get close enough and catch him off guard to steal your heart from him.” She placed it in Kagura's hand.

The instant the wind sorceress touched it, it vanished. Her right hand reached across her body to rest on her chest, just above her left breast. Tears poured down her cheeks as she felt her own heart beat in her chest. “Why?”

“Why not?” Kikyo shrugged and walked over to Kohaku. “He told you to kill him, didn't he?”

“How did you know?”

“Because it's what Naraku would do.” She pulled out a knife and cut open Kohaku's shirt.

Kagura moved to rush over to them. She had to stop Kikyo from hurting the boy. Naraku had hurt him enough. She was suddenly stopped by Kikyo's two soul collectors as they wrapped around her. Kagura struggled against them as Kikyo dug the knife into the boy's back.

Kohaku screamed when the knife sliced into him. Usually he couldn't feel pain, but he could feel the white hot burning, just behind his shoulder blade. Tears blurred his vision as the blood overwhelmed the shirt he wore and, oddly enough, tickled as it ran down his back.

“Stop it!” Kagura struggled even more.

“Please.” Kohaku sobbed. “Stop.”

“Shhh.” Kikyo said. “I'm sorry this hurts, Kohaku.” She could see the black glow of the tainted jewel shard inside his back.

A frown crossed Kikyo's face. Naraku was such a bastard. If she pulled the shard from the boy, he would die. Meaning that even if Inuyasha and his friends defeated Naraku, Kohaku would still die without the jewel shard in him.

A high pitched wail of agony erupted from Kohaku's mouth as Kikyo's fingers grasped the shard and began to purify it. She mumbled a prayer that not even Kagura's demon ears could hear, and removed her bloody fingers when the shard was purified.

Kikyo watched in satisfaction as the spider mark on Kohaku's back faded. Both women watched as Kohaku seemed to age in front of them. It had only been two years, but with Naraku's control gone, the boy now resembled a fifteen year old instead of an eleven year old. Kikyo had thought he would look thirteen, but looking older than he was only helped him.

“You know that he'll find us?” Kagura asked.

Kikyo pulled out the two necklaces that she and Rin had made. They looked like Inuyasha's necklace of subjugation. They had made them, just the day before and fearing that Sesshomaru would find them, she slipped them into the pocket inside her top.

“Here.” She walked to Kohaku and put one of the enchanted necklaces over his head.

His hand reached up to touch it. “What is this?”

Kagura shook her head. “I just became free of one master and now you want me to allow you to become my master? No way in hell.”

“You won't be my servant, Kagura. After this I will leave the two of you alone. This necklace will make you look human, have a human scent, and have a human aura. Naraku could see you tomorrow and never know that you are Kagura.”

“What about him?” She nodded to Kohaku.

“He looks too different. Naraku knows that with his control over the shard that Kohaku will stay eleven until he kills him. Naraku will think the two of you will be easy to find. With this necklace on, no one, not even Kagome can detect Kohaku's shard. It can never be tainted again while still in his back. Plus the necklace changes his scent to resemble yours more. He doesn't smell like Kohaku, nor does he look like the boy. He is far too old to be him.”

“Please Kagura? Put the necklace on.” Kohaku pleaded with her.

Kagura's pink eyes stared into Kohaku's brown ones. She knew he wanted her to be free and happy. “Fine.” She jerked it from Kikyo's hand and put it over her head. She tried to pull it off and found that she couldn't. “What can't I take this off?”

“Because only I can. The whole point of the rosaries are to make sure that you two stay hidden from Naraku. With them on, you two look totally different. Well, Kohaku really doesn't, but Naraku will be looking for a small child. Not a boy who looks about fifteen. Naraku isn't exactly the brightest star in the sky. It won't even cross his mind that he has aged. I know a village you can stay at.” She began to walk away from them and they followed.

“Can I go live with Sango?” Kohaku asked.

“No. I'm sorry Kohaku, but that would give away your identity if you ran to her.”

“What about our names?” Kagura sneered. “Naraku might be stupid and insane, but not even he is that stupid.”

Kikyo stared at her. “I am aware of this Kagura. That's why you will go by the name, Ume, and Kohaku will be called Daichi.”

“Where are we going?” Kagura asked, still unsure of the priestess.

“To a village between Inuyasha's forest and the Western Lands. You will be close enough to Sango to watch her, but not for her to see you. Plus, you will be living close enough to Sesshomaru's lands that many demons with not tread there.”

They walked in silence all three of them in deep thought. All three of them unsure of what the future would bring.

“Why?” Kagura asked. “What's your prerogative?”

Kikyo didn't even pretend not to know what she was talking about. “My prerogative is just that. My prerogative. My reasons are my own.”

Kagura shook her head at the answer. She carefully regarded the woman she now was indebted to, and decided that things weren't as bad as they had been. A genuine smile crossed her face as she replied, “You've been hanging around Sesshomaru too long.”

A/N: The end is near… until next time.
