InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sleeping Mistake ❯ Kikyo and Naraku!? ( Chapter 11 )

Don't worry, I'm still alive. I've just spent the last month on vacation! Wow, tons of fun, but I won't be leaving y'all disappointed any longer. Thanks for all the reviews. I'm glad that more of you are giving me some sort of feed back, even though some of them are just telling me to update. I like hearing from my reviewers. Those of you that gave me your e-mails, I hope you were pleased with the comments I gave you. I hope I here more from all of you this time.

I don't own Inuyasha. Although, I wish I did.

Kikyo and Naraku!?

The mat that was covering the doorway was pushed aside and Kikyo stepped in followed by a soul collector. She smiled at the shocked faces that stared back at her.

I spoke first, "Kikyo what are you doing here?"

She lowered her gaze to my level on the floor, "I'm just checking in on my beloved, you nefarious reincarnation," She snarled, then turned her head towards the doorway to the room Inuyasha was in, "Is he in here?" She asked turning back towards us.

"What are you playing at Kikyo? You have never cared enough to check in on Inuyasha," Miroku spoke up.

"So what if I didn't. I hear he has been badly injured,"

"Wasn't it you that cast the red moon spell?" Katana questioned.

Kikyo smirked, "It might have been,"

"But why Kikyo? I thought you wanted to bring Inuyasha to hell with you,"

"This way he will be waiting for me," The soul collector floated towards Inuyasha's room.

Everyone jumped up.

"I won't let you take him!" I shouted. I gasped at my sudden relinquishment of my emotions, and covered my defying mouth with my hand.

"Oh, really. So I suppose you think that you can stop me,"

Before I could get a word out to defend my mocked strength, Katana stepped forward, "Maybe she cannot but I will. Call me a sucker for true love, but I just can't see you tare them apart,"

"Tare them apart!! Inuyasha is mine!"

"Inuyasha has never been yours. I've seen his memories. Even some he has pushed from his mind or that have been deliberately changed. You never intended to even be with Inuyasha,"

The whole rooms focus shifted to Katana. What does he know? What has he seen about Inuyasha? What does he mean changed?

Whatever it was that Katana was talking about; it got to Kikyo. She growled with frustration, "I'll be back. Mark my words. Inuyasha will go to hell with me," Her soul collectors then swooped in and carried Kikyo away.

My focus on Katana never wavered, and he could feel the questions Sango, Miroku, and I were wondering.

He casually turned towards us, stretched and yawned, "Well, I'm tired. Where can I go sleep?"

All of us sweat dropped.

"What?" Katana looked at us confused.

"What do you mean Kikyo never wanted to be with Inuyasha?" I found the words to stick to my mouth, and they had a bad aftertaste.

"Ah, all will be revealed in due time,"

"And when will that be?" Miroku asked.

"After I get some sleep!" Katana answered enthusiastically.

Everyone sweat dropped again.

"Alright then let us all get some rest, then we can continue," Miroku suggested.

I heartily agreed; feeling my sleepiness starting to take over, "I'm going to lay down with Inuyasha in case he wakes up,"

I felt the others watch me go, knowing that they were feeling sorry for me at that moment. I can't give up hope that he will come back to me. I stopped at the foot of the bed to look at him. He looks so angelic right now, so serine and calm. I want to see him smile more. He never laughs. I want to laugh with him. Someday we'll have a reason to laugh together.

I crawled into the bed next to him; curling myself against his side. Perhaps my body heat will help him.

Good they are all asleep now. Poor fools. If only they knew how much Naraku has really messed with Inuyasha. Kikyo was not the priestess that everyone thought she was. I guess the jewel was destined to become tainted with malice. Well, I suppose I have my work cut out for me to make things right again. Then, I will be able to take my throne back.

I stepped out into the room where Sango and Miroku lay asleep. Both of them are on separate sides of the room, and Miroku with a fading red hand print across his features.

When will he learn? I guess I can help them out a bit.

With a snap of my fingers they were next to one another in the center of the room. Miroku yawned in his sleep and subconsciously wrapped his arm around Sango, drawing her closer. Even in his sleep he's a letcher.

Now, to the main target.

I entered the room Inuyasha and Kagome were lying in. Kagome had her body pressed against Inuyasha. I can see the fear she has of just losing physical contact with him. She fears that if she does lose that contact then Inuyasha may be lost to her all together. Now, to let her see for herself what really happened the day Inuyasha was cursed to the tree.

I concentrated and pulled energy from the surrounding area. A neat trick I stole from that goddess. I focused the energy to accumulate around Inuyasha and Kagome; bidding it to do my work. A soft white light brightened then faded. I smiled.

"Sweet dreams," I turned and left to get some sleep.

Where am I? The sun was shining through the trees over head and birds were singing. I think I'm in Inuyasha's forest. How did I get here? I continued to walk. Just as I approached a sort of clearing I realized I was on the other size of the God Tree. Perfect, now I can find my way back.

As I came closer I saw a flash of red. Inuyasha? I walked closer. My assumption was proven correct by what I heard.

"Inuyasha!" A voice yelled.

I ran forward just in time to see Inuyasha hit with an arrow. I rushed forward to his aid, but he had all ready gone unconscious. The arrow pinned his body to the God Tree. Is this some kind of joke? I turned to see who the one that shot the arrow was. Kikyo stood there with her bow still humming. Except next to her Naraku stood. They didn't seem to see me even though I was standing in the middle of the clearing.

"Our plan is just taking shape," Naraku said and he bent down and picked the jewel up off of the ground from in front of Inuyasha.

Kikyo smirked, "You're sure that witch will bring me back to life?"

"Yes, I will just need to find your reincarnation, so you can get your soul back. Until then," He tossed the jewel to Kikyo, "Have that burned with your body,"

Naraku disappeared just as a child Keade ran to her bleeding sister.

The scene in front of me faded to black, and I wondered what the hell I just saw.

- - - - - - - - - - -

I jolted awake. I felt clammy with sweat, and my hands were shaking slightly. I looked to my side to see Inuyasha still asleep, but sweating just the same as I was.

His breath came quickly and I could make out a tear line on his cheek. If he was seeing what I just did then that changes everything. He was betrayed by Kikyo. He loved her. A tear formed in the corner of my eye. Why would Kikyo do that? I watched the tear fall and splash onto Inuyasha's face.

His golden eyes opened and a tremor ran through his body.

"Inuyasha?" I spoke softly.

He grabbed me into a quick embrace, "I- I though that… oh, Kagome,"

My eyes were wide with shock, but my arms moved of their own accord and wrapped themselves around Inuyasha, "Inuyasha," I whispered.

He slowly moved back to look me in the eyes, "I don't understand what is happening to me," His eyes looked so forlorn and confused.

I didn't know what to say. I just looked at him and caressed his cheek. He needs to be comforted. But how can I? What does my mom do for me? Oh, yeah she usually…

I leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek then gathered him into my arms and hugged him close so he could borrow my strength.

End of this chappy. I hope y'all enjoyed. Like I said before, I'm sorry for the late update. I'm trying though. Keep on reviewing and maybe it will motivate me to move faster.
