Chapter 4: Conspiracies and Reacquainting

Kikyou made her way through the invisible barrier that hid her destination. She felt a presence near her, so she stood still, awaiting her host. A woman with red eyes and short black hair appeared infront of her, accompanied by a smaller child with white hair and black eyes. "what the hell do you want now bitch?" the older woman asked impatiently.

Kikyou smiled at her, "nice to see you too Kagura. I am here to speak with your master, Naraku. I trust he already knows of my arrival, seeing that Kanna is with you." She stated coolly. Kagura growled, "yes, he's here, and he is expecting you as well."

Kikyou smirked, "good, then, shall you escort me to him?" without answering, the threesome disappeared. Kikyou reappeared, and found her self standing infront of Naraku, "Kikyou, what is it that brings you here? Perhaps it is that kagome child that has returned?"

"you've been watching Naraku, I see. Then you are willing to help me dispose of her?" she asked.

Naraku smiled, "indeed my dear Kikyou. What is it that you had in mind? I know that a woman such as yourself would never be satisfied in simply having her killed. And you know me as well, I make it a point to make things entertaining."

Kikyou thought for a moment, "I do not care about details, you can have fun with it. I trust that you will involve others besides her, and that is fine with me. As long as she is gone, I will be happy."

"Very well then Kikyou. I will need your shards of the shikon no tama though, as I'm sure you knew already."

"Indeed I did Naraku, but, I am afraid that I will not simply hand them over to you, you will not betray me. Hand me your shards, and I shall fuse them together." She said while holding out her hand.

Naraku laughed, and then held out his hand as well. The majority of the jewel appeared in his hand, and Kikyou took hold of it. she effortlessly attached her shards to the larger piece, and then rolled it in her palm. "you do know Naraku, that this cannot control kagome. She has strong power and it will take more than simply this to destroy her. And I trust that you know that her powers are dark, so they have become even more formidable." She explained.

"I understand this Kikyou, however. You also are a strong miko, perhaps not stronger than her. But with your power along with that of the jewel, there is no doubt that it will be a threat to her." Kikyou narrowed her eyes at him, wondering what it was that he had planned.

"Very well Naraku, do as you wish. But if it may fail, I will have your head." She told him, and Naraku only smiled at her. "Lets get to work then shall we my dear Kikyou?" Naraku asked, and Kikyou nodded.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome awoke late in the afternoon, according to her cell phone. She picked herself up and out of the hotspring that she had fallen asleep in, and stood on wobbly legs. `damn you Kouga!' she cursed to herself. The candles were still let, and she could make out Kouga's sleeping form on the bed of fur pelts. She walked, more like wobbled, over to him and collapsed on the soft material. From her spot on the ground she reached for her clothes and slowly and painfully pulled them back on.

She had healed most of her wounds from the mating last night, but her muscles were still in need of rest. she didn't really care at the moment though, pain was nothing new to her, that was for sure. She stood back up, using all her strength not to hit the ground again. `Keh, its like my body just keeps inventing new muscles for me to hurt sometimes, I don't remember ever spraining the muscles in-between my legs, but I will make a note never to try again.' She thought as she began to make her way down the dark cavern.

About half an hour later she saw the light at the end of the tunnel and picked up speed. By the time she was outside, the pain was all numb, kagome having learned to put mind over matter. `Now how the hell do I make it back to the god damned well, I gotta pick up the rest of my shit before the beast wakes up wantin more.' She thought.

"What the hell, I'll just start walkin, and maybe I'll come across those two bozos that Kouga's always with. They'll give their `sister' a ride." She said out loud as she started walking towards in the general direction of the well and the wolfs den.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

"god damn that bitch! Where the fuck did she go?! I know she's up to something to have been gone overnight and purposely covering over her scent. What ever you're up to Kikyou, I'll make sure you don't pull it off! You hear me you wench?!" inuyasha yelled as he wandered through the forest, jumping from tree to tree searching for the miko that had walked out on him the day before, and was yet to return.

He skid to a stop when I faint yet familiar scent caught his nose. He determined which direction the scent was coming from and set out to find it.

"Freakin A, I think I'm lost. What was that bastard at the last town talking about? `Go up to the river bank and make a left at the big tree, then follow the path of rocks that look like fish and then keep heading towards the mountain that looks like a dog'…how the fuck was I supposed to follow that crap? The guy was probably stoned and had know clue what the hell he was even talking about. The rocks that look like fish? I haven't even seen water! Just trees, lots and lots of trees. Grrr, why couldn't he say, `go down to Topanga Canyon Rd, take a right on Vanowen St, and then head towards Canoga Blvd, and its just east of Roscoe?' See, that I could understand, not fish rocks!" kagome mumbled to herself as she fought her way through brush and trees.

She shut up and stopped when she felt a presence coming towards her, and prepared herself. She knew it couldn't be Kouga cause for one he was coming from the wrong direction, as far as she could tell, and she could still feel through the mark that he was asleep. `and if anyone could sleep search, it would be that possessive bastard inu…ya..sha?' she couldn't even finish her thought before the hanyou crashed down through the trees and landed not even a foot infront of her.

"well speak of the devil. You come back for more inuyasha? Hows that leg of yours?"

inuyasha narrowed his eyes at her and continued to pant with his mouth open, `I followed her scent? Why the hell would I do that?'

"my legs fine kagome, thanks for your concern. Why the fuck are you wandering around out here? Where's the wolf?" that's when he noticed the numerous scars adorning her skin. He grabbed at her arms to get a better look. `these are definitely fresh wounds, I can still smell the blood, she must have healed them herself.'

"did that fucker Kouga do this to you?! What did he do to you, look at all these kagome? Did you run from him?" inuyasha asked, his face clearly showing his concern, his eyes flashing in anger. Kagome sighed at him, but didn't try to take back her arm as inuyasha started tracing his fingers over them gently. "no inuyasha, I didn't run from him. But yes, he did do this to me. Its alright though, it wasn't his fault, he wasn't in the right state of mind I guess you could say." She told him honestly.

Inuyasha looked from her arms up to her lips, which still held a slight bruise on them, and then he rested his eyes on her own. kagome wanted to pull away when she saw his eyes. She could tell that he wasn't trying to hide his emotions anymore, and she could read him clear as day. She read sorrow, loss, pain, and regret, all rolled into one in his amber eyes. His eyes continued to bore into hers, and she was lost. She couldn't think, she couldn't even feel an ounce of the pain she knew was there.

"kagome I'm so sorry." He whispered as he brought a hand to her cheek. She only nodded, her tongue being completely stunned. `that voice, those eyes…what's going on?' she thought, but it was too late for thinking. Inuyasha, who was also enchanted by her mesmerizing eyes, began to lean into her. Before she knew what was happening, his lips met hers in a chaste kiss. `oh my god, his lips are so warm, so soft.' Kagome thought, bit catching the whole part about his lips being on hers, just the warm and soft part.

She pushed her weight back into him to deepen the kiss when she felt that he was going to back away. Inuyasha moaned in surprise, and it only served to heat the both of them. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist, and kagome moved her arms to link around his neck. Inuyasha deepened the kiss further as he coaxed his tongue into her mouth. It was Kagome's turn to moan when she felt his velvet tongue caress hers.

Sure kagome had been kissed before, many times in fact. But the feeling she was getting from him made her feel young and innocent, completely inexperienced. `this is what I've been waiting for. no one has ever been able to make me feel weak in the knees like this. This is all I ever wanted.' She told herself as a brief moment of thought came to her.

She caressed his tongue in return, and moaned when inuyasha pushed her up against a tree and pushed their hips together. Soon they were both grinding against each other, their hands caressing each others body. Kagome had snuck her hands inside his haori and was memorizing every detail of his perfect chest. Inuyasha broke the kiss to move to her collar bone where be sucked and kissed her flesh.

"Ohh, inuyasha," she moaned breathlessly. But froze as soon as the words left her mouth. Inuyasha immediately opened his eyes and stopped his ministrations when he felt her stiffen, and noticed that her scent had changed as well.

Kagome forced herself from his grasp and stumbled away from him. "no inuyasha, no. this isn't right! You have Kikyou and I have Kouga…I shouldn't have done that, it was wrong. I came here, not to take you back, but for revenge. But I don't know what you did to me inuyasha, but as soon as I saw your face, my plans began to crumble. For some strange reason, I cant bring myself to hate you anymore, and for that I hate myself. I can never forgive you for what you did to me, but I still find myself wanting to run back to you…" she whispered as she began to rack with sobs. "its not fair…its just not fair…"

Inuyasha stared at her incredulously, not sure what to say to that. of course, he knew it wasn't right for have kissed her like that, he hadn't intended too. it was wrong, he knew that, but what he hadn't counted on, was this kind of reaction from kagome. If anything, she should have purified him on the spot.

"kagome i…" he started as he walked towards her, but stopped on the spot, as did Kagome's sobs. They both looked in the same direction, fear and confusion showing clearly on their faces.

"Naraku" inuyasha said, "The Jewel" kagome said at the same time. They looked at each other, not sure what to do. Kagome stiffened again as a new feeling washed over her, the stirring of her soul. Kagome slowly turned her gaze back in the direction of Naraku and the jewel and scowled, "Kikyou".

"what the hell? Naraku's scent is gone! Where the hell did he go? Kikyou? I don't smell her anywhere, I cant even sense the mark." Inuyasha ranted.

"Bakayarou! She's concealing it from you! The only reason I can sense her is because of the little bit of my soul that the bitch carries with her. She knows that I can feel her presence, and she has no fear of that knowledge. I can feel that she is quite happy about something."

that's when they both heard the eerie laugh that Kikyou was known for, "what a smart girl, your powers have grown. But don't worry, I'm still stronger than you my dear." Came her voice as she materialized infront of the pair. "I see that you and inuyasha are getting reacquainted, sorry for interrupting." She seethed.

Inuyasha growled at her, "what the hell Kikyou! Where have you been, and how did you know we were here?" inuyasha questioned her.

"fool, she's sided with Naraku, isn't it obvious? I can see his evil aura all over her, and id say they've been doing a little bit of `reacquainting' themselves." Kagome finished with a smirk, knowing she was winning the upper hand.

Kikyou flared her energy, keeping her eyes on the girl. Then she smirked again. Kagome was about to question that look that said, ` I know something you don't know.' But she was bound by some kind of roots, and tied to the tree behind her. Inuyasha tried to jump towards her, but was quickly bound as well. Kagome tried to purify the evil roots, but only received a shock in return.

Kikyou made her way up to the bound miko, and smiled at her and she caressed her cheek. "so warm, full of life." She said softly and she ran her fingers over her skin, and kagome stared at her through the corner of her eyes, too weak to retaliate as she felt the roots begin to steal her energy. Kikyou's smile turned to an angry and disgusted look and she removed her hand, only to bring it back down, slapping kagome hard in the face, her nails digging in and leaving gashes in the side of her face. Kagome's head flung in the opposite direction and she shrieked in pain.

Kikyou grabbed her by the chin and forced her to look at her, and then held out the jewel for her to see. "you see this wench? This was my demise, this is why I do not have the warmth that you possess. And I will make sure that it serves as your own demise." She told kagome, and then her own energy crackled around the jewel, an it began to glow in a red light.

"silly bitch, you're not too smart are you?" kagome asked.

Kikyou smiled back, "I understand that you are strong enough to resist the power of the jewel, but my plan is not that simple nor foolish."

"that too I guess, but I meant that, the reason you hold no warmth is not because of the jewel, but simply because you hold no love, see? You're just a bitch through and through, and that kind of person, is denied a warmth of their own." kagome stated simply, and flashed a fang at Kikyou, starting to feel her power return.

Kikyou scowled at her again, and then clenched at kagome throat,"at least I don't hide my shards in my own body." Kikyou smirked at her, and Kagome's eyes went wide. Kikyou placed the jewel over kagome chest, and watched it sink in, fusing with the last couple shards that kagome had with her. "we shall see kagome." She said, as then she mumbled something under her breath. She looked up and kagome one last time and then she disappeared, and the roots fell limp around their bodies.

Inuyasha was at kagome side in an instant. Kagome laid on the ground, her eyes clenched shut, and she was breathing heavily and unevenly.

"kagome, kagome are you alright? What did she do to you?"

kagome screamed in pain, and then was surrounded in a red glow, throwing inuyasha back a few feet. When the light subsided, inuyasha ran back to kagome, "kagome?! Oh shit, what the hell did they do to you?" he yelled.

Kagome brought herself to her knees, supporting her weight on her hands. She opened her eyes, and looked down at her hands. `what the fuck?' she thought when she saw claws, and then noticed that her hair had turned almost silver. She looked up to inuyasha, but her vision blurred as soon as she saw him.

Inuyasha backed away when he saw her eyes flash red at him, and he heard her growl. "She made you a youkai?" he said out loud as realization hit him. Kagome stood to her feet, her power swirling around her. Deep inside her, she could feel the new demon youki fighting with her miko blood. She felt the strong instinct to rip inuyasha to shreds, and smiled when she realized what Kikyou had done to her. `keh, same plan, new twist. What will you think of next? Tell me to bore him to death?' she thought as she began to fight off the youki, trying to purify it.

As soon as she did, she fell to the ground in pain. She clenched at her chest as she felt it begin to throb. "aauugghh!!!!" she screamed as she felt her chest turn to fire. `Foolish girl, you cant fight it. the jewel you may be able to fight, but with my powers combined with that of a youkai, you have no chance.' She heard Kikyou's voice mock her.

Inuyasha inched his way towards her, but froze when she gave another soul wrenching scream. "get away from me inuyasha! If you get any closer I may just decide to give in and slit both our throats." She warned him through clenched teeth.

`you under estimate me as usual Kikyou, and Naraku. You don't know what I have learned since I last fought you. You don't know what tricks I can…pull.' She responded to the voices, her minds voice taunting them.

Kikyou and Naraku watched through Kanna's mirror, and listened to her thoughts. "what does that bitch mean, tricks she can pull. She's helpless, just look at her." Kikyou told Naraku. `like this Kikyou,' kagome responded. She concentrated on her miko powers, and searched for Kikyou's soul, that rightly belonged to kagome. She smirked when she found her soul, stirring in anxiety. She latched on to it and gave it a tug.

Kikyou arched her back and screeched as she felt her body begin to rip in two. Kagome could feel the power of the jewel begin to weaken, and pulled harder. Kikyou screamed again and fell to the floor. `that's it, just a little more.' Kagome thought as she gave one last pull. Kikyou pulled back before kagome could rip her soul from her. Kagome gasped when she was jolted by the resistance, but smirked when she felt Kikyou and Naraku's attention waver.

She quickly brought her hand to her chest, and pulled out the jewel. She felt Naraku's powers begin to pull at the jewel, trying to return it to him, and she defused her two pieces of it, and watched as the rest disappeared. She purified the other two, and placed them back in her chest.

Inuyasha looked back at kagome, who had returned to her human form by now. He was too scared at the moment to approach her, not sure what had just happened. Kagome looked over to him, still clutching her chest and panting. "come on inuyasha, you just gonna sit there all day? I gotta get some stuff from my time, care to give me a ride, seeing that I cant really walk?" she asked, without looking up at him, her voice holding unreadable emotions.

Inuyasha nodded silently, and walked over to her, picking up her limp form, and started making his way towards the bone-eaters well, each traveling only in their thoughts.

Suteki: sorry if you are all disappointed that I didn't keep kagome as a youkai, or that she didn't fight inuyasha, but that wasn't the whole point of the story, there will be a fight, but not yet. All in all I hope you enjoyed the chapter!! Review! Constructive criticism is welcome, as you can tell, I've used some of the reviewers ideas in here already! ;) you know who you are~!
