InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sleeping Mistake ❯ Naraku's Plot ( Chapter 7 )

I know I said I would write the next chapter right away, but life happened. I hate it when that happens. I'm back though, and I'm going to try to update more often. I guess I can't make any promises though.

I don't own Inuyasha.

Naraku's Plot

I need to focus. Her face feels familiar to me, but I just can't remember. Her hair. I sense the sweet smell of jasmine. Her eyes. The gray depths pull me to her. Her cherry lips. The taste could occupy me for all time.

Why do I know these things? What is her name?

"Inuyasha!!!" That voice. I know it. I want to hear it again. I don't want to die. I want to live for that voice.

Her sweet voice. Gods, I'm coming. Don't leave me!

I felt my demon blood course through me. Those claws took her. I will rip those claws off of his body. My eyes bled red, my claws sharpened, my fangs grew in length and sharpness, my muscles grew with power, and my mouth yearned for the taste of blood.

A blinding white light flashed in the darkness surrounding me, and my eyes flew open.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

"No!!" Sango yelled and reached uselessly towards Kagome's disappearing form.

I walked up to stand next to her, "I don't understand it,"

Sango turned to me, tears trailing down her face. I felt a pain in my heart, one that I would never acknowledge, "What do you mean, Miroku?"

I stepped forward and wiped away the liquid staining her face, "That Koga would choose now to come take Kagome. Right after the red moon, when so much has happened,"

"I don't understand," Sango looked at me with confusion etched in her features.

"I don't fully understand it all myself, but we need to do something for Inuyasha before we go get Kagome. I'll go tell Kaede, and then start to dig his grave," My eyes clouded with tears at the mention of Inuyasha's grave, but I have to be strong in front of Sango.

Sango's tears returned and she looked over at Inuyasha's motionless body. Just then something in her cracked and she fell sobbing into my chest, "Why? Why did he have to die?! He just found some sort of happiness with Kagome, and now his life has been ripped from him,"

"I know, but we have to be strong. Inuyasha wouldn't want us to be busying ourselves with his body when Kagome is in danger. We will quickly take care of his burial and then be off to retrieve Kagome. You clean his body from the blood and I'll go start to dig,"

Sango nodded her head slightly, and went to retrieve water and a cloth to clean Inuyasha's body. She moved zombie like on account of the depression of losing a close friend.

I went around back to get the shovel.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

I stepped down from the porch tears still falling as I made my way to his body. I just finished telling Kaede and Shippo about Inuyasha and Kagome. Shippo denied it ever happening, but once he looked outside to see Inuyasha's body he instantly collapsed in a fit of tears yelling that it wasn't true. That Inuyasha couldn't be dead. That Inuyasha was to brave, to strong to be killed.

I couldn't fight the tears. I didn't want to. It was getting dark, and there was still much to be done.

I crouched next to Inuyasha and shifted him to his back. His golden eyes were staring into nothing, and I brushed my hand over them to keep him from staring at me. Because of this, though, I didn't see the swirls of red forming in the depths of his eyes.

Will my tears never stop?

I dipped the cloth into the bowl at my side, and began wiping the blood from his lips. While I focused on his face I missed the lengthening of his claws, and the enlarging of his muscles. As I worked the water turned pink, and the sun sank below the tree line. I heard a shovel strike the ground in the distance and my head shot up and behind my back, Inuyasha's ear flicked, and his fangs grew. I shook me head and dipped the cloth back in the water. I'm being very jumpy.

I went back to work on cleaning Inuyasha. I dabbed at the corner of his mouth and when I pulled it away a corner of the cloth caught on one of his fangs. I dislodged it, but pricked my finger in the process. Were his fangs this sharp before? I looked up at his eyes, and on cue, they flew open. He looked up into the darkness closing in on us with red eyes. I jumped backwards, spilling the water, and screamed.

- - - - - - -- - - - - -

Her scream reached my ears only half a second after it was emitted from her throat. I scrambled out of Inuyasha's grave and ran from under the god tree to the spot where Inuyasha lay.

I burst from the woods and found Sango shaking next to where Inuyasha's body should be.

"What happened!?" I ran to her.

"He wasn't dead," Sango shook in my embrace.

"What is going on?" Kaede stepped outside with a red eyed Shippo at her heals.

"He wasn't dead," Sango said again shaking harder.

"Where did he go?" I questioned.

"He smelt the air then ran off towards Koga's den. Miroku, I have never seen him this bad,"

"How bad?" I questioned.

"He has transformed again, but this time he's different. He scared me. He seems evil,"

- - - - - - - - -- - - -

Life is coursing thorough me. I feel so alive. Alive with the need to kill Koga. He dared touch her, he dared touch my Kagome.

A growl surfaced. I could barely recognize my voice. I know my transformation is different this time. I can control myself. I know what is going on around me. Just I don't want to stop myself.

I scared Sango. I know I did, and I enjoyed it. The look of fear in her eyes when I growled at her and licked her blood off of my fang. It thrilled me. I would have done more if I didn't want to kill Koga so bad.

Koga will die.

I arrived at the entrance to Koga's den. It was dark and I could hear movement at the back. I looked in to find Koga ripping Kagome's clothing off, and push her legs apart. I felt my demon blood heat when he licked her opening, and my blood boiled when her scent became aroused. Koga moved up to her neck where he suckled the spot he was planning to mark her. I felt a growl surfacing. I smelt her scent once more to find disgust and sadness not the arousal I was expecting.

He is hurting her. I won't allow it. I cracked my knuckles to catch his attention. His head snapped up to look at me. I smirked slightly when he growled in response. I know there is no way he can touch me in this state. I'm stronger, faster, and all around better than I was before. Now it's time I show him what it means to touch my Kagome.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

"Evil?" I questioned.

"Yes, the way he acted, and the way he moved. It was like he has transformed into a demon, but not like before. His movements are calculated. He knows what he is doing,"

"How can you be so sure?" I don't understand.

"Miroku, what am I stupid? It was obvious," Sango pushed me away, and I landed in the dirt.

I stood and wiped the dirt from my butt, "Well, excuse me,"

"Will ye two stop?" Kaede questioned.

We looked at Kaede.

"Ye two need to get a room," Kaede rolled her eyes.

A blush bloomed across both of our features, but before we could try to defend ourselves Inuyasha's brother walked into the clearing.

"Sesshomaru," I whispered.

He didn't show any emotions as he approached us.

"What does ye want?" Kaede spoke harshly.

"I'm only here to see if Koga completed his job,"

My eyes widened at his statement. Koga's job? Did Koga make a deal with him?

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"What you didn't know?" He mocked us.

I narrowed my eyes at him. Sango was the one to speak up, "Stop your games!"

A flash of anger at Sango's insolence crossed his features, but quickly disappeared.

Sango unsheathed her sword and pointed it at Sesshomaru, "I won't let you hurt anyone here!"

"You can put your sword away I'm not here to fight,"

Sango looked at him a little uneasily, but in the end she did as he said.

"Now, I've come only to see if Koga completed his job,"

"And what job was that," Kaede spoke up.

"I've learned that Naraku is planning to get Kikyo's soul back for her, and he convinced Koga to get Inuyasha out of the way,"

"Why do you care?" Sango asked, "I thought you wanted Inuyasha dead,"

"Yes, but by my hand not Naraku's,"

"What do you mean convinced Koga to kill Inuyasha?" I inquired.

"He convinced Kohaku that same way. With his spider he can control them,"

"His spider?" Sango tilted her head to the side in wonder.

"Yes, this spider's venom allows it to control its victims. Naraku must have given the spider a jewel shard and he can now control the spider," Sesshomaru was getting impatient with all the questions, "Now, where is my brother?"

"He's dead," Shippo said behind Kaede's leg.

"Dead? Is this true?" Sesshomaru looked towards the rest of us.

Before Sango could reply, Kaede spoke, "Yes, it is true. Ye brother has passed on,"

Sesshomaru looked Kaede over for signs of a lie. He then turned and looked at me, then to Sango. Lastly he looked back at Shippo, "You lie," Was his response.

"I do not," Kaede declared, "It is obvious that he died," She pointed my way, "Miroku is covered with dirt from digging his grave," She moved to Sango, "Sango's face is tear stained, and her hands bloodied from cleaning ye brother's body, and there on the floor," She pointed to the ground, "is the bowl and cloth she used. Go ahead and look. It is stained with ye brother's blood,"

Sesshomaru followed Kaede's hand as it moved, and, once she finished, he walked over to the cloth and lifted it to have a better look, "How did this part of the cloth become torn?" He lifted it so the rest of us could see.

"It got caught on his fang," Sango spoke before Kaede could.

"His fang?" Sesshomaru looked at the cloth, thinking, "His fangs are not this sharp, they are dulled by his human blood,"

"Then ye do not know ye brother so well," Kaede said.

A flash of anger crossed his features, but when he spoke he was still just as calm as before, "I know my brother," He dropped the cloth, "I understand you are trying to protect him, but it will not work. I can see through your lies," with that said, Sesshomaru turned and disappeared back into the forest.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

"Inuyasha," I whispered when he walked into the cave. He is still covered in blood, but he has become his demon self. Why did I leave Tetsusaiga on the porch?

Koga got off of me and walked towards Inuyasha, "So you did not die?"

"You could never kill me," Inuyasha smirked.

"Even if you have become stronger, I can still kill you," Koga readied himself for a fight.

Wow another chapter finished. I hope you all enjoyed it. Oh yeah, and I know some of you say that I'm spelling Koga's name wrong, but I looked at the credits of the TV series and that's the way it's spelt, so unless the series spells it wrong I'm going to go with that. Thanks for all the reviews I love hearing from all of you. Oh and by the way, if you are also reading my other story, Turning Point, I will be updating that soon. Thanks again!

Ps. I'm doing a poll. Should I have Koga die? Plus I wanted to know if you all want Miroku and Sango to get it on if you know what I mean. ;) Tell me in your reviews.
