InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Snow White and the Seven 'Dwarfs'...Sort of ❯ Above the Flames ( Chapter 25 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

AN: Ok, I know this is really, really late and I am so SORRY! I had 10 million tons of work I had to do and I did start this chapter but then my stupid computer crashed and I lost everything I had on it. So I’ll try to make this chapter really good, ok?

Spellkazter114- yeah, I’m really sorry about the wait. Hopefully the chapters might come out quicker once schools over.

Inuyashas lover always- Sorry it took so long, I’ll try harder not to let months go by before I update again.

InuGirl159- Thank you.

Smiley Bobbina- Thanks, I tried to send the 25th chapter to you but it didn’t work. And while Kagome may not kick anyone’s ass (well then again maybe Miroku’s) she’s in training to kick some ones ass which is almost as fun.

Umi Kur- Well, your name itself didn’t bother me, I’m just to lazy to write the whole thing out. I know, Miroko’s probably going to end up with more wounds from the girls then he got from Kikyo for groping them all. And soon you’re going to see how much pervert Hiten has in him (Hint, hint).

Suzie- Thanks, soon everyone else is going to be reunited with everyone else and I hope that chapter is as good.

Megan Consoer- Don’t worry, it might take me forever to update sometimes but there’s still a lot of chapters left.

Chickeninuyasha- Thanks, and if you want to blame anyone for me not updating (besides me myself) blame all the evil teachers who have no other life then giving out work.

Neko Jer- Thanks, I still think parts were kinda corny through...oh well.

Mediaminer...

Leanne5582- Thanks, and I’m sooooo sorry it took so long to update it. And don’t worry, I will finish this fic...eventually.

OrlandoLover- Thanks so much, and don’t worry I didn’t take it the wrong way, I asked myself that 10 million times.

Hey I just realized this story has been going on for a year. ...Wow. Thanks to everyone who’s stuck with me this far, I promise the ending with be worth it! (That is if I ever get to the ending, it will be)

‘’ That’s when the little voices in pretty much all the guys head start to talk. You can consider this voice their inner Youkai, the voice that tells you right from wrong, or the voice that says what you’re really feeling, it depends on the male hearing the voice at that time. I’ll only put this in when that happens.





Kagome~

“Focus Kagome. Keep your mind a blank slate and imagine your power as a tiny little ball deep inside you. Now let it bloom slowly out towards the tips of your fingers,” Miroku instructed smoothly.
I took a deep breath and did as he told me, pushing all my power into a tight little ball just under my heart and letting it go. The hardest part was keeping my mind clear.
Warmth spread through me as my power rose slowly to my finger tips.
“It’s there.” I said breathlessly.
“Let it melt through your skin, but keep control of it.”
I closed my eyes and pushed my power through my skin. The purple flames hung just over the skin of my hands and arms, swirling in the air gently.
“Attack.”
My eyes shot open and I send my power flying towards the Kikyo doll the dwarfs made for me to practice on. The purple light speared her through her huge cloth breasts and slit her open from top to bottom, leaving two neat halves.
I looked over to where the dwarfs were starting to cheer and grinned.
“Hell yeah Kag! That was so fucking hot!” Kouga cheered and Hiten waved his hand as if it was burned.
“Are you going to do that to the real Kikyo?” Shippo asked, impressed.
“Ha! She deserves a worst death then that.” Sango scoffed.
“Very good Kagome.” Miroku said, turning my attention back to him. “You’ve gotten amazingly far in a week. That’s the fastest you’ve ever gotten, but you need to be faster. We’ll take a break for today and I’ll let the dwarfs take over.”
I nodded as Rin bounced over.
“My turn!” she said happily.
I moaned quietly. For someone who looked so kind and innocent, when it came to training, Rin was a slave driver.
“We’ll perfect your dagger style today and start you off on swords. And I’ve got this really cool flip I want to teach you to. But first let’s start off with warm ups. Get on the ground and give me 100 push-ups NOW!”
I prayed to Kami to let Rin be kind to me today when after the last push-up she sat on my back and made me do a 100 more.
I gasped and stood up on my knees, sending Rin to the ground. “We forgot to go see Totosai!’
The rest of the dwarfs groaned.
“Crap, the old man is never going to let us live this down. We better go now.” Hiten said grimly.
Kouga looked over at me. “Hey beautiful, since that cat has to carry Miroku to now, how ‘bout you ride on my back?” he asked and winked at me.
“KOUGA!” Ayame roared.
“That’s a actually a good idea Kouga. I’m impressed you still have them.” Hiten mocked. “Go on Kag, we really need to leave.”
I hesitated when I saw Ayame’s dark glare, but didn’t really have a choice when Kouga picked me up and slung me across his back.
I wrapped my hands loosely around his neck as he adjusted me so he could hold my thighs more comfortably.
“Hold on tight beautiful.” he said, his voice as smooth as honey and we were off.

Kouga~

‘Hell ya, you have her just where you want her. Why not take a little detour and show her why she needs to ride more then your back.’ my inner demon purred.
Fuck no! She doesn’t want me like that.
‘Then make her. It won’t be that hard.’
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! The only relationship I should have with her is platonic only! If it weren’t for that bitch Kikyo she would have been my daughter!
‘Then Kikyo does have her uses doesn’t she? Come on Kouga, Nobunaga’s daughter or not, you know you want her. So make her yours.’
She doesn’t even think of me that way!
‘That’s the nice thing about time. Kidnap her, keep her hidden away in a cave or a tower until enough time passes that she thinks of you that way.’
I wouldn’t take Kagome’s freedom away like that. Besides...I did make Ayame that promise. ...and for an annoying brat she’s grown...a lot over the years.
‘Well yeah there’s her, you see how that leather cups her breasts and shows off her tight little stomach? Yummm.’
Make up your mind! We either want Ayame or Kagome.
‘...we can’t have both?’

Kagura’s Room~

“Well? Did you find any sign of her?” Kagura demanded after Sesshomaru and Inuyasha walked into her room.
Inuyasha scowled and stuck his hands in his sleeves. “Does it look like we found her, wench?”
Kagura snarled. “Damn Kikyo, if she wasn’t so busy talking my ear off about the newest massage boy she hired I would have been able to search with you.”
Inuyasha rolled his eyes and drew a breath in to say some comment before Sesshomaru stopped him. “I have just received a letter from my estates, Lord Miroku has not come home yet, nor was there any such message sent for him to do so.”
Inuyasha snorted. “Kikyo lied, feh we already knew that.”
“But what could Kikyo have gained from lying about Miroku leaving?” Kagura asked.
“Knowing the pervert he groped her in front of Naraku and he threw him out.” Inuyasha scoffed.
“No, even Miroku has more control then to touch filth like that.” Sesshomaru said absentmindedly. “The night he ‘left’ wasn’t Miroku suppose to do a locating spell to find Kagome?”
Kagura and Inuyasha fell silent until realization dawned on them.
“That fucking bitch!” Inuyasha roared. “I’m going to tear her limb from limb!”
“Inuyasha.” Sesshomaru warned as he caught him by the neck off his robe on his way out the door.
“There is no fucking way in hell you can stop me from killing her now Sess! Kagome is alive! Miroku must have found her and Kikyo sent him away to shut him up!” Inuyasha stopped suddenly from his struggles to get out of Sesshomaru’s grasp, the color draining from his face.
“Oh Kami...you don’t think she killed him, do you?”
“We can’t be sure Inuyasha.” Sesshomaru said in the gentlest tone Kagura had ever heard him use with his brother. “But we can’t go off to rip Kikyo’s head off yet. We need more information before we seek revenge. And if we’re wrong and tried to kill her then Kikyo will start a war with the West and that’s the last thing we need right now.”
Inuyasha took a deep breath and slowly slid his hands under his sleeves again. Kagura and Sesshomaru’s nose twitched when the slight smell of blood filled the air but didn’t say anything.
“Yeah... right.” he mumbled. “I’m gonna get some air.” he said, walking out of the room, not meeting anyone’s gaze.
Sesshomaru allowed himself half a second to worry about his brother before returning to the matters at hand.
“I’ll employ my spies to find out every single dirty secret of Naraku’s and Kikyo’s. Find out everything you can from Kikyo.”
“I have some free time before I have to be in the Slut Queen’s presence again. I thought I might check out Miroku’s room, see if he left anything.” Kagura offered.
Sesshomaru nodded without saying anything and silently left the room.

Kikyo’s Secret Room~

Kikyo blew on her nails as she filed her nail into a razor sharp point, scowling as she did so. She still couldn’t figure out why that damn monk was using a locator spell on Kagome. She told them she was dead, and she is dead, Naraku had come back with the whore’s heart. Maybe he was trying to find her body? Her scowl deepened as she started on her next nail.
Knowing Naraku, the baka wouldn’t have hidden it very well.
But it was still strange the monk would waste so much enegry trying to find that bitch’s corpse.
Kikyo shrugged to herself and threw her nailfile away as Naraku landed on the bed and started crawling towards her. Oh well. She would figure it out when she had more time.

Kagura~

Kagura cautiously stepped around the corner of the hall and slowly opened the door to Miroku’s room. She glanced around once more to make sure no one was watching before stepping inside and shutting the door soundlessly behind her.
Miroku’s room was spotless, a maid had probably continued to clean the room even through its guest was gone. It was the normal guest room for important lords. It was done in shades of blue, had a bed and chairs made with dark, rich wood, and the floor was covered with Persian rugs.
Kagura quickly looked though chest drawers, under the bed, into the closet and looked through a few books sitting on a shelf for anything Miroku might have left before his disappearance. She gritted her teeth when she found nothing and tried harder, praying to Kami she would find something.
But the idiot monk hadn’t even left a little crumb for a poor, starving mouse and its family. There was nothing in the room that hadn’t been there before. She finally growled under her breath and strode towards the door quickly, muttering under her breath about anal, bastard monks.
A floor board creaked under her, and she stopped walking. Carefully, she stepped back over the floorboard and drew her fan out when it creaked again.
Going on instinct, she flicked her fan open gracefully and waved the rugs out of her way. She stepped down once more, locating where the loose floorboard was and sent a strong burst of wind towards the floor, catching the edge of the wood at just the right angle to make it go spinning into the air. She knelt down and felt around. Her eyes widened when she felt paper and eagerly pulled it up and unrolled the scroll with trembling fingers.
It was a picture of a naked woman.
Kagura squinted her eyes at it. Didn’t that look like an adult Sango?
Kagura scowled and was about to tear it up when something else caught her eye.
There was a map drawn on the back.
Kagura jerked when she heard that old hag Urasue call her name. She stuffed the map down her kimono and quickly put the room back as it was before she’d ever stepped inside.
“Lady Kagura! Lady Kagura!” Urasue called.
Kagura gritted her teeth and walked out into the hall just as the old woman turned the corner. Kagura had to remind herself not to grimace once the smell reached her. The stupid witch was so senile she forgot what a bath was.
“Lady Kagura!” she croaked, Kagura watching fascinated as it took 15 seconds for her eyelid to blink over her huge eyes. “Queen Kikyo has called for your presence in the great hall as she eats.”
Kagura smiled while mentally wishing she could just blow Kikyo off a cliff and be done with it. “I would be honored to watch Kikyo dine.” I’d rather watch two slimy pigs rut.
Urasue bowed as much as she was able to. “She eats in an hour. Would you like me to dress you?”
Like I’d let your grimy wrinkly hands anywhere near my skin, Kagura thought before replying, “No, that won’t be necessary.” See? She could be polite when she really wanted them both to drop dead.
Urasue bowed once more before walking back to report to Kikyo, but at the pace she was going it would probably take her the whole hour.
Kagura walked back to her room, wondering what to do with the map. She had no idea where Sesshomaru was and she wasn’t even sure she wanted to find Inuyasha in the mood he was in. Glancing around her room, she finally decided on sliding it behind the mirror. She would look at it later when she didn’t have to get ready to meet Kikyo.
She grumbled quietly to herself as she brushed out her hair about stupid slutty queens and absent dog lords.


Kagome~

“You idiot kids! Do you know how late you are?” Totosai roared at the top of his voice when he caught sight of us.
Hiten rubbed the back of his head. “Yeah, sorry about that gramps. We had a few issues to deal with.”
“Excuses! All you can offer me is excuses? You disrespectful cretin!” he roared and knocked Hiten’s head with the butt of his staff.
“Youngsters these days, no respect at all. “ he said sadly to himself. “Wait here, I’ll do my nice deed for the day and give you your weapons. Your lucky I don’t remember how long its been or I’d make you pay extra.”
“You didn’t remember we were late?’ Hiten screeched.
Totosai scratched his head. “What’s that?”
Rin kept Hiten from hitting his head against a stone as Totosai went into his workshop/freaky giant skull to get our weapons. Totosai walked back out them and a bow slung over his shoulder.
“Here you go.” he handed Rin the double to her sword and Sango her wrist daggers.
“Now as for you priestess-” he handed the bow to me along with a satchel full of arrows.
I gasped when I ran my hands over the wood of the bow. It was craved from a deep Mahoney wood, with symbols of power and strength craved deep in. Along the sides was a dragon and phoenix, animals that protected my mother and father’s families for centauries. The satchel was the same wood as the bow and had arrows with gold feathers, and with plain white feathers.
“The white feathered arrows are hallowed so you can fill it with your miko power. The gold feathered arrows are from a phoenix. I suggest saving the white arrows for demons and the phoenix ones for normal humans.” Totosai said in a lecturing voice. “Your mothers sword isn’t restored to its full glory yet so you’ll have to wait until I can sent it down with your teacher.”
I felt excitement rise in me as I slung the satchel over my shoulder. “You found me a teacher?”
He nodded solemnly. “Yes, she has just returned from the south. With luck she’ll be here within a week.”
“What’s her name?” I asked.
“I believe that’s her business. Now if you excuse me I have other important things to be doing today.” and without a further word he turned and walked back into his skull.
“Well come on, it’s late if we want to get home before sunset we should move now.” Hiten said, already hovering the air. Sango slid her daggers over her wrist and vaulted onto Kirara, Rin already separating her and Miroku by sitting in the middle.
“Come on Kags.” Kouga said and crouched down in front of me as I got on him, winching at the sound of Ayame’s growls.
“PERVERT!” Sango shouted when Miroku tried to reach across Rin and brush his hand against her breast. “AS SOON AS WE GET HOME YOUR FACE IS GOING TO MEET THE DIRT!”
And with that charming remark we left.
Kikyo~


Kikyo sighed when she saw Urasue bowing down in front of her. “What is it now Urasue?” she asked tiredly.
“My queen, I’m sorry to report Lady Kagura of treachery against you.”
Kikyo sucked in a quick breath. “Explain yourself.”
“I’ve spotted her entering and leaving Lord Miroku’s rooms.”
Kikyo snorted. “While that might sound suspicious you really can’t say she’s doing anything bad you baka.”
“I also found this while I was cleaning her room your highness.” Urasue handed her a piece of crumpled paper.
Kikyo’s face turned dark. “Then again, we can’t have any chances of threats to the crown can we?”

Later~

“What the hell is the meaning of this Kagura?” Kikyo demanded as she slammed the piece of paper down in front of Kagura.
She coolly lifted an eyebrow as she leaned forward to look at the paper. “It looks like a badly drawn picture of you full of holes Queen Kikyo.”
“Correction, it’s a horrible, insulting drawing of me and my eyes bugging out, my kimono indecently low, my...mounds almost popping out and it looks like someone threw darts at it!” Kikyo screeched at the top of her lungs.
“What does this have to do with me?” Kagura asked after the ringing in her ears died down.
“This...this...this disgraceful picture was found in your room!”
“Are you suggesting I drew it?” Kagura asked, sounding insulted.
“And what if I was?” Kikyo challenged.
“Well for one thing, I can draw much better then that.” Kagura curled her lip at the drawing. “And where would I get the darts to throw at it?”
“Do you mean these darts?” Kikyo shouted and pulled something out of her sleeve.
They were cunt balls.
Kikyo’s face turned bright red and she quickly threw them to the other side of the room. “No! Not those! This was what was found in your room!” she reached into her sleeve and this time she pulled out darts.
Kagura narrowed her eyes at her. “You can’t prove any of this.”
Kikyo beamed at her. “Wanna bet? I’m queen if I say you practicing on this picture to try and kill me, you were. I judge Lady Kagura guilty of treason, the intent to murder, and planning to kill royalty. I sentence her to painful death by fire. Naraku?” she asked and Naraku melted up out of the shadows.
Before Kagura had the chance to even reach for her fan she was out cold.

Kikyo~

Kikyo grinned at Naraku and slid her arms around his neck. “Thanks baby.” she cooed. “Tell you what, since you were such a good boy you can go ask-“ she pulled his head down to whisper in his ear and his grin grew more insane. “Ok sweetheart? But promise me you won’t touch her, your all mine tonight.” Kikyo giggled, nibbing on his ear.
Naraku nuzzled her throat and bit her sharply. “You better be...in that position when I get back.” he said, hoisting Kagura over his shoulder.
Kikyo laughed and smiled seductively at him. “Just take care of that wench and you can do what you will with me.”

Kagome~

“Hey, is Hiten slowing down ahead?” I asked in Kouga’s ear as we were spiriting through the forest.
He narrowed his eyes and started to slow down . “Looks like it, let’s see what’s up.”
He signaled to Ayame to stop and after he let me down we walked over to where Hiten was, looking annoyed.
“What’s with the hold up?” Kouga asked.
Hiten twisted his face. “Shippo needed a bathroom break. He promised me he’d hurry up or we could leave with out him.”
I blinked when I felt a strange... trickling on my side. It wasn’t like the warmth I’d felt when those demons were attacking Miroku...but it was close.
I wondered over to Miroku. “Miroku...do you feel anything?” I asked, not sure how to word it.
Miroku jerked his head up from where he was eyeing Sango. “What do you mean?”
I rubbed my side. “Well, there’s this weird...feeling in my side and it’s kind of like what I felt when there were all these demons attacking you but this is different.”
He stood up suddenly. “Someone’s in trouble. Close your eyes, pull all your power into a tight ball, now!” he ordered.
Nervous by his tone I did as he asked. “Yeah?”
“Imagine there are hundreds of strings on each point that feels weird to you. Then follow it.”
I didn’t under stand what he was asking but tried to do it anyway. The other dwarfs fell silent when they heard Miroku start talking and they were all watching me. I pictured purple strings over where the prickling was, and was shocked to see the forest behind my closed eyes, with strings attaching themselves to my side.
The purple strings slowly started to pull me down a path, and I followed it, not having any idea what I was doing. The strings trailed over rocks, next to trees, and even through my eyes were closed I never tripped. Finally I came to a clearing and the forest and the strings disappeared. I slowly opened my eyes and quickly clapped a hand over my mouth before I could let out my gasp.
A woman was hanging about 10 feet over a pile of dry wood, her hands stretched painfully over her head and tied with a thin string and her legs left to dangle. Small imps and demons were loading more wood under her feet and every so often one of them would giggle madly, staring up at her and licking their lips. A hunched over imp with green skin, and wicked fangs over its lips climbed up the woodpile and teasingly tried to grab at the woman’s legs. The woman angrily kicked it away, only to have another piece of string shoot out and wrap itself around her legs.
“Damn, how the hell is she staying up there?” Hiten asked amazed as he and the rest of the dwarfs came to stand by me.
I looked at him as if he suddenly grew three heads. “What do you mean, hanging there? She’s tied to the tree above her!” I whispered harshly.
Hiten stared at me. “Girl, are you sure Kouga didn’t shake you to hard on his back that maybe your brains rattled?”
I scowled. “What do you mean? She hanging right in front of you!”
I looked to stare back at the woman, trying to figure out where I had seen her before. Another imp crawled up to lick at her exposed ankles and she lifted her head to snarl at him and kick him away despite her tied feet.
“You stupid bastard, get the hell away from me!” I gasped when her voice rang out through the clearing.
It was Kagura.
“Kagura!” I whispered desperately. “Sango, Rin, Miroku, it’s Kagura! We have to do something!”
The others nodded and drew out their weapons. “But how, she’s just hanging there!” Kouga whispered back.
“What is wrong with you? She’s tied up you moron! Did you suddenly go blind?”
Miroku stared at me. “Kagome, are you saying there’s something there holding her up?”
I rolled my eyes. “I’ve been saying that for the last three minutes!”
He nodded. “This is the work of a demon, a very powerful one if only you can see its powers.”
“Then how are we suppose to stop it?”
“Well we could-“
I drowned him out as an eager imp came skipping up with a lit torch towards the wood pile.
“Kagura!” I screamed, emerging from the woods with the dwarf’s scrambling behind me. I had a hollow arrow out and set against my bow before I could even blink. It filled with my miko power and I let it fly, shooting itself straight towards the fire. The arrow sailed right through the flames on the torch and it blew out.
The imps and demons screamed out in rage and rushed to meet us. The dwarfs happily lifted their weapons and charged out to meet them, leaving me to shot Kagura down.
Suddenly a string shot out and struck itself against the dry timber, creating sparks and setting it on fire. It quickly spread before I could draw another arrow to put it out and the string lowered Kagura an inch.
I drew out an arrow to try and help the dwarfs get rid of another imps and demons so one of them could be spared to catch Kagura as I cut her down.
But as I set it against the bow another damn string came out of nowhere and snatched it out of my grasp.
I looked up and saw a woman sitting up on a tree branch, her face hidden by the shadows. She swung her legs slightly, crossing her leg over the other as she manipulated something between her fingers.
...and even with her in the shade I could tell her outfit was sluttier then Kikyo’s clothes.
The figure slowly stood up and lazily twisted her fingers, and I was barely able to shout out a warning to Hiten before her threads could wrap themselves around him. He retreated from Kagura with a scowl, and returned to fighting with the other dwarfs until he could try again.
“Now, now you naughty girl, I just can’t let you spoil my fun.” she drawled out.
And Kagura dropped another inch towards the raging fire under her.





AN: I am soooooooo evil, that was an even worse cliffhanger then the last one. Oh and if anyone remembers any special phrasing Yura says can you tell me? I haven’t seen that episode in awhile and I don’t think I’ll be able to this weekend. Sorry again about the long wait for this chapter, now that’s summers coming I’ll have more time to update. Hope you liked the new chapter, now go review and tell me how much you love me and complain about how long I took. Have a nice week.
