InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Prologue - A Test of Memory (The Coming of Rinkatsu) ❯ Incantations, Resurrection and Destruction ( Chapter 24 )

"K-k.....Kohaku....." stuttered Kikyo weakly.

"Ah, yes. That's his name," said Rinkatsu. "Naraku saved me a lot of trouble of brainwashing him... he was dead already so I just resurrected him into my control." He laughed.

"You.... sick...." Kikyo couldn't finish.

"No, I must say, I'm not feeling sick at all!" Rinkatsu joked, but Kikyo didn't laugh. "I'd much rather Sango die by her brother's hand than by mine... the pain she'll feel... ah it drives me..."

"Why must you kill her?" asked Kikyo. "She has done you no wrong."

"I do believe she has... for that annoying little Kagome has undone my magic in her. She has remembered everything," explained Rinkatsu. "I can't have her ruining the wish too..."

Kikyo glared at him.

"And I think you'll be pleased to hear that Inuyasha has remembered as well."

"NO!" Kikyo screamed.

"Can't have him living too... he'll cause me some trouble as well..."

Kikyo gave him a hopeless look.

"Kaede has also remembered... heh heh heh," chortled Rinkatsu.

"N-no..." said Kikyo.

"And I think you'll be pleased that she's already passed... thanks to me," he gave off an evil laugh.

Kikyo fell to her knees. She began to cry.

"What? Feeling sorry? Maybe you should've realized how selfish your wish was in the first place! But I'm glad you didn't... for you have given me more than I could've given you... Thank you, Kikyo," said Rinkatsu.

"Damn you!" Kikyo got to her feet and ran to the bars near where Rinkatsu stood. She reached her hands out of the cell and clawed at him.

"Tsk tsk..." Rinkatsu held out a finger and pointed at Kikyo. She was suddenly thrown back from the bars and into the wall by the force of whatever RInkatsu had just done. "I think you know enough about the misery you've caused for now..." He turned towards the exit. "Rin, ready the book... find the incantation.

"Yes, master," said Rin very blankly. She left the room.

"Keep yourself rested, Lady Kikyo," laughed Rinkatsu. He exited the room after Rin.

As Rinkatsu walked down the hall outside the cell block, he noticed that Koga was approaching him from the other side of the hall.

"Ah, Koga... what news have you?" asked Rinkatsu.

"The fox demon has refused our offer," said the brainwashed Koga.

"Fine," said Rinkatsu and then laughed a bit. "Then the fox demon must die."
