InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Hidden Strength Within ❯ Chapter 12
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Kanna sat silently as Kagura flew them back to Naraku's hideout.
'Maybe if we tell Master Naraku that there is something starting between the half-breed and the demon slayer he will over look this transgression and not punish my sister. Hopefully he will instead plan a new form of attack on Inuyasha to get him to feel helpless and defeated, making it easier for him to kill Inuyasha once and for all.' Kanna thought sorrowfully for her sister's well being.
"Kagura don't forget to inform Master Naraku that something is happening between Inuyasha and the Slayer, Sango. Kikyo said that she has noticed the two hanging around each other more now and he refuses to touch or defend his "mate" now as well." Kanna finally spoke up.
Kagura looked at Kanna confused, "What do you mean? Inuyasha is part dog demon, they are suppose to be loyal to a fault. Is Inuyasha cheating on that wench with the Slayer? I thought the Slayer was friends with Kagome, who had feelings for the half-breed. I swear humans are so fickle."
Kanna just continued to stare straight ahead as Kagure frowned for the lack of response. 'I guess the half-breed is taking after his father after all!' she mused silently.
Around mid-day Naraku felt the approach of Kagura and Kanna. 'Why has that wind bitch returned without my prize? Surely she doesn't expect me to believe that she can't scent the Priestess in the wind.'
Naraku waited patiently for the arrival of Kanna and Kagura to his personal study. Once they entered the room Naraku shot a questioning look to the wind witch.
"Why have you returned already and without my prize?" he questioned.
Kagura shuddered at the look he was giving her. 'No doubt the bastard is thinking about how he wants to torture me.' she cursed silently.
"Master Naraku, I thought it important to return and let you know what I have found out through Kikyo's help." Kanna finally spoke up.
"Apparently Priestess Kagome is actually a demigoddess and she released her hold on Kikyo's soul during her transformation last night. The release of the soul has caused Kikyo to once again become human. Apparently once Kagome was transformed she went to return to camp and her comrades threatened her, so the fox kit and her ran away." she finished while looking to Kagura to state the other information.
"When we were leaving we found out that the half-breed and the Slayer seem to be having some sort of relationship, either it had already started or it will be soon enough. Also Lord Sesshoumaru was there, he too is searching for the demigoddess and fox kit; almost acted as though he was wanting to protect them." Kagura stated as a matter-of-fact.
"Your information is very welcomed, however it just makes me want Kagome even more for her power now. I want you two to head back out and find her. Kill the wretched fox kit and bring me the demigoddess, unharmed." he smirked at the ideas he had in mind for breaking the demigoddess.
'Yes unharmed indeed, I wish to be the one to take the pleasure in harming her to the point of breaking her spirit to bend to my command!' he mused.
"Master Naraku you should also know, Lord Sesshoumaru knows about Kikyo's betrayal." Kagura smirked as her and Kanna left to retrieve Kagome.
A cold chill ran down Naraku's spine when he heard what Kagura had to say in regards to Sesshoumaru and Kikyo, 'Damn demon always seems to try and ruin my plans. I need to get him out of my way once and for all.'
"Did Sesshoumaru reveal to the half-breed his discovery?" he asked.
"No, he merely warned her about the company that she keeps, but Inuyasha remains oblivious to Kikyo's betrayal still. She will continue to be a spy for you at the price of Kagome's life in the end." Kanna replied.
'So Kikyo still honestly believes that I am going to kill the wench now, after I know that she is a demigoddess! I will allow her to believe what she wants as long as she proves to be useful.' he mused as Kanna and Kagura departed his hidden palace.
"Kanna," Kagura asked, "Do you know what plans Naraku has made for Kagome?"
Kanna turned her head to the side, as if to think and replied, "He plans to break her spirit and make her his mate. Especially now that he realizes that she is even more powerful than before. What he has done to you in the past will merely be the start of what he will have to do to her, if he is to obtain his goal."
Kagura shuddered and felt a tiny hint of sympathy for the young demigoddess. 'Will she be strong enough to withstand such torture? How long could she possibly last when even I can barely tolerate what little torture I get now.' she worried.
In the cave Shippo was startled awake by his Mama screaming in pain while sleeping.
"Mama...Mama wake up, please!" he yelled while trying to shake her awake.
Kagome bolted up from her sleep suddenly clutching her chest and gasping for air. "Why?" was all she asked before she passed out from exhaustion.
For fifteen minutes Shippo could do nothing but sit there watching her chest rise and fall, just to make sure that she was still breathing. Finally he saw her breathing even out and looked to her face just as her eyes opened up.
"Mama are you okay now?" he asked concerned for her well being.
"Yes Shippo, I am fine. Apparently I now have the gift of sight that I will have to learn to deal with." she stated in a slightly scared tone.
Shippo leaped into her lap and hugged her as best as he could.
"You scared me so bad Mama, I thought for sure that you were about to die on me." he cried out.
Kagome ruffled up his hair and apologized, "I'm sorry dear. I never meant to scare you that bad. Please calm down, we need to be leaving soon, okay?"
Shippo shot his head up at that comment, "Is something wrong? Why do we need to leave so soon, it is not night yet?"
"We have company coming and I really don't want to deal with him right now. I also have a charm for you to wear, it will conceal your scent and appearance. Here wear this around your neck, only those that you wish to know who you are will be able to see through the concealment; also very powerful demons that mean no ill will towards you." she stated as she handed him the necklace.
"Who is it that is..." he started to ask when he finally caught the scent of the approaching company. Quickly placing the necklace on he stated the name of said demon, "Koga."
