Thanks for all the reviews; I don't remember any of them so you have to wait for feedback. And now, the new chapter. (Dramatic drum roll)

 

Disclaimer- Duh of course I own Inuyasha. I also own Bigfoot, can fly, and go back in time to steal books from great libraries that have now been destroyed. I also have blue skin, green hair and have fins instead of legs.

***Naraku***

 

Naraku moaned when he got to his feet after Kagome had thrown him into the tree. He had literally gone through the damn thing and had hit his head on the one behind that, blacking out for who knows how long. The fucking bitch had purified him so bad it felt like his entire body was on fire. He glanced down to make sure it wasn't. It wasn't and he rolled his eyes at being so stupid. He growled and glanced around, trying to find out where Kagome had ran off to after the pain subsided. He couldn't even smell her anymore.

Damn Kikyo for not telling him she was a miko.

There was no way he could get the bitch now; he didn't even want to try after she purified his ass. He looked around, trying to decide what to do and stopped his gaze on a deer, innocently walking alone in the woods, and his smile grew wicked. He had managed to run Kagome off.

And what Kikyo didn't know wouldn't hurt her would it?

 

***Later in Kikyo's Secret Room***

 

“Kikyo, I have brought you the heart of Kagome.”

Naraku bowed to her and handed her the box with the heart inside. She flipped the lid open and smiled at the dead heart inside. She snapped it back closed and smiled at Naraku.

“Good boy, now come get your reward…”

 

 

***Kagome (Somewhere)***

 

I wearily opened my eyes and waited for my vision to clear. I slowly realized I was lying on my side near a river, my hair all over my face and my skirt almost gone. I started to sit up, putting most of my weight on my arms, and inched closer to the river to drink and get some of the dirt and blood off of me. I slapped some on my face, hoping the ice cold water would get rid of the remaining doziness I felt and would keep me from going into shock. I washed most of the blood off my side, my arm, and combed the twigs out of my hair. I stood up shakily, almost gasping at the pain that simple action caused me. I looked myself over; trying to find injuries beside the ones Naraku gave me. Then I gasped, remembering the book and looking frantically around for it. I swore my heart stopped for a moment when I saw it sitting near the water, almost in it. I grabbed it and wiped the few water droplets off tenderly with what was left of my skirt. I sighed looked at it and said,

“You know mom, if you wanted to tell me anything, why not tell me I would almost get raped?”

I blinked in shock at what I just said. Did I just talk to the book? Kami, maybe I really am going crazy. I shook my head and decided to move on. Kami only knows if Naraku would come after me or not. It hit me then I could never go back to the castle until I got Kikyo off the throne. She had to have been the one to send Naraku after me, but I doubt she told him to try and rape me. So if I go back what's to stop her from trying to get rid of me again? Kami, never to go home for so many years. Ok, Kikyo did live there, and I was a servant but Kami I love it there. And never to see the gardens, the castle, and my woods again for years wasn't going to be easy, but I had to do it.

I had no other choice.

I took a deep breath and started to walk forward; surprised it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. I stayed close to the river, in case I got tired or thirsty sooner then I would have because I was hurt. I walked forward for a while, trying to decide what to do first. I was still trying to figure out what to do when I saw smoke rising. I stared at it, shocked. There are people here? I sighed in relief; maybe if I were lucky they would help me. I started to cross the river, which wasn't very big, just about up to my knees, and as long as three grown men lying down, toward the smoke. I stumbled out of the river and walked through some of the thickest woods I have ever seen in my life. The woods in this part where covered in roots, sharp rocks, pits, and huge tree stumps. Trees almost stood side by side, but I could step around them thankfully. I stopped and gasped at what I saw when I got out of the forest.

A little cottage was sitting there.

But that couldn't be possible, no one lived out this far. Camped this far, yes. But live this far away from people? Never. Suddenly, all the stories and rumors I've heard as a child came back to haunt me, stories about strange little people who lived deep in the forest and ate children for breakfast, dogs for lunch, and drank virgins blood for dinner. I swallowed, remembering the first time Kagura told me about the strange things called, `dwarfs'…

***Flashback***

(Kagome's 14, Kagura's 14)

 

“Hey Kagura?” I asked when we were hanging around in her room after I had finished all my chores.

“Yeah?”

“You know a lot of gossip right?”

“Yeah, so what?”

“Well I was wondering if you could tell me something about these people called, dwarfs? I heard other servants whispering about them living in the woods or something. They won't tell me what they are through.”

Kagura stopped flipping thorough a book and looked at me.

“You sure you want to know?”

“Yeah, why not?”

She bounced up off the floor and sat across from me on her window seat.

“First off, no one really agrees what dwarfs are. Almost every one says they're very short, and live somewhere alone in the forest, but no one can agree on if they're good, or evil. Some people say that the dwarfs are seven kind, short old men, who moved to live in the woods after their wives died and they wanted to be alone. Others say they moved to get away from the world because they felt it was growing to large and to sinful for them to bear. But then others say that they're evil, tiny, demons with red glowing eyes, and long black, beautiful hair. They say they're seven of them all together, one shots lighting out of a rod at armies, getting rid of one entire army, and then getting rid of the rest of them. Another one controls wolfs, and sends them to feast off of human flesh. Another one, one without black hair, but fire, dancing and swirling on top of their head, and they use the earth against you, making leaves cut you to shreds. The smallest one out of all of them also has fire for hair and is a trickster, fooling and scaring children. It's also said he lures children and other young humans to his friends to eat for their dinner. And the last one that is known wields a sword better then any human ever before seen. He can use two swords at the same time even. No one knows about the other two, but these people say that all of them eat humans, and drink the blood of children and virgins. They live deep in the forest because they were so evil, even hell wouldn't keep them, they thrust them back into the living world.”

I listened to her speak, wide eyed.

“Wow, tell me more!”

She looked at me shocked. “You're not scared?”

I snorted, “Please, as if anything like that could exist.”

 

***End Flashback***

 

Now, I wasn't so sure if the evil demons really did exist. Mayu also told me that there at been sightings of the sixth demon, one that had a huge disk that it flung at you to cut your head off, from a great distance. He also had a hellcat as a helper who would chew you up, and spit you out to feed to baby birds to turn them evil to. One farmer had killed one of these birds; it had been insane with bloodlust, and tried to eat the farmer's head of. Or so they say. I was starting to feel hungry, and decided it was a 50:50 chance of demons or old men lived there.

Well… demons lived in caves right?

So they wouldn't have a nice little cottage to live in, and it wouldn't look so clean on the outside.

Right?

Kami I hope so.

I took a deep breath and started to walk toward the little cottage, knowing if I didn't get food and medical attention soon, I would die. So what if the people who lived inside the cottage were demons, I'd die anyway. Just faster. And maybe more painfully. I looked around trying to figure out what kind of people lived here. The cottage was about two or three stories, white and stone with green stutters and it looked kind of cute from the outside. The smoke I had seen had died down, and it was curling gently into the wind in small curved streams. I slowly raised my fist to knock on the door. The door must not have been latched right, because it swung right open with my knocks. I carefully peered in, and took a few steps inside.

“Hello? Hello?”

No one answered so I took a few more steps in and called out again. No one answered, no one was here.

I let out the breath I wasn't aware I had been holding, and closed the door behind me and stepped into the next room.

And almost screamed my heard off.

It was so…filthy!

Whoever lived in here might as well be pig demons, it was so… Kami I don't even know a word to say how gross it was! Dirty plates with food still on them was sitting on the table, the floor was covered in dirt and had pits of rocks and sticks all over the place, the windows, which had been covered by curtains and I couldn't see from the outside, were filthy, and what I hoped was the living room had clothes thrown all over the place, more dirt, bits of food lying around for the mice to eat, most of the sitting pillows ripped, torn, and dirty, and the table was covered in scuff marks and drink rings. I shuddered, Kami who would let the place become this dirty? I couldn't stand it, as a maid I would never let my castle fall into this kind of mess! It was a matter of pride, and Kikyo would kill me if I left my rooms like this. So I grabbed a broom I found in the back of a closet, after dodging everything that fell out of it, and started sweeping up the floors. I figured I could take some food from them so they didn't have to pay for the cleaning. I would have done it for free anyway because I was worried about what I might step on since I lost my sandals…somewhere. I swept everything outside, took some water from the river, poured into in a huge bucket, and started washing dishes. I threw the left over food outside for the birds to eat. I wiped the tables down, got rid of the scuff marks on the one table, found a needle on the bottom of the closest while I was cleaning it and tore up a filthy, old shirt I found lying on the floor into thread so I could sew the pillows back up and placed them nicely around the table in the living room. I picked some flowers from outside, put them in a tea mug and placed it in the center to make it look nice and then I started washing the dirty looking clothes on the floor, and folding the clean looking ones up and placed them near the stairs since I had no idea which room they slept in, and I was afraid to go upstairs. I gave the windows a really quick wash; just enough so you could see out through them, got the fire roaring again from the embers that had been left of it, and started to make soup from food I found laying around, (Kami bless Mayu for teaching me how to cook.) while it was boiling I went up stairs to see how bad it was up there. It actually wasn't to bad, the hall was pretty clean except for some mud footprints, and the only thing wrong in each room was that the bed wasn't made. I went back down into the kitchen to throw some bandages on my cuts, and grab some water to clean the floor upstairs. I hauled a bucket full of water upstairs, scrubbed the floor until it was clean and decided to make their beds. I left the bucket where it was and wandered into the first room. Made the futon fast, and went into the next one. There were about six rooms being used, tow or three more empty ones and I noticed a few more down stairs that were empty. I yawned, not realizing at how tired I had become while I was cleaning. I was so tired I didn't even really notice the rooms, but made the bed and went on to the next one. I stepped into the last one and was about to fix the covers when I yawned so loud I almost thought someone would hear me. I looked outside, wanting to go to sleep. The sun wasn't down yet; I had time to take a little nap before the people who lived here got back. I went back down stairs to throw some meat in my broth, grabbed my book from where I had left it on the table, went back up and walked into the first room I saw, and started to fall back on the bed. I tried to bring the blankets up around me, my book safely clutched in my hands. The blankets refused to move so I wrapped as much as I could around my legs and finally fell asleep.

 

 

***The, um, `Dwarfs'***

 

“That was a good day don't you think?”

“Uh huh, best we've had in awhile.”

The `dwarfs' walked down to their home, talking on the way. The smallest one ran ahead, not wanting to be part of the group's conversation. He stopped, sniffed the air and ran back to jump on one of his fellow `dwarf's' shoulders.

“Hey I think somebody's been here!”

The older one took a quick sniff and growled, while the rest of them drew their weapons getting ready to fight of need be.

“Well would you look at that, the runt's right for a change.”

“Hey! I'm not a runt!”

“And what would you call you're lack of height then?”

“I'll get big one day! Just you wait.” The younger one said pouting.

“Calm down kid, you know I was just joking. I know you'll grow into a big string powerful demon.”

“…you really think so?”

“Wouldn't say it if I didn't.”

“Can we please go see who's in our house now?” an annoyed voice interrupted them.

“We're going, Kami chill out. We'll get the bastard who broke into our house don't worry.”

“Then can we go do it?”

The `dwarfs' crept as quietly as they could back to their house, not wanting to scare the intruder away. The one that was said could use a sword like no other could, gently pushed the door open with one of the famous swords.

And when they looked in, they nearly fainted.

“Oh my fucking Kami, our house is…clean!”

The one demon that was said to control wolves stepped into the house carefully, taking notice of the food cooking the fireplace. His eyes widen and he rushed into the living room. An anguished sob reached the other `dwarfs' and they ran in to help him. They found him kneeing on the floor, clutching a clean, newly sewed pillow in his arms, rocking back and forth.

“They took my shirt. They took my shirt and made it into thread! Why, why, why did they have to take my shirt? Who did this? Who did this? Why?

DAMN YOU! WHO CLEANED OUR HOUSE?”

The rest of the group looked on; sweat dropping as they stared at their friend who had been replaced with the crazy lunatic before them.

“…You do know it's just a shirt right?”

“That's not the point!”

“What, was that a old baby shirt or something? You gonna be scared without it?”

“…um no?”

“Liar! Liar, liar, liar! I bet you sleep with it or something right?”

“Shut up!”

“Oh, did I hurt you're feelings?”

“Come here you little runt, and I'll show you what pain is!”

 

 

***Kagome***

 

I thought I heard someone scream, but I didn't hear anything else so I just punched my pillow quick and settled back down. I was dimly aware I had to leave before the sunset, but my muscles didn't want to move so I just fell back asleep.
