Thin Line Between Love and Hate

 

 

Chapter Three:Breakfast and Guilt

 

 

`Why did this have to happen to me? Why does everything abnormal have to happen to me? I want to be normal again; I want to be as normal as every other kid in my time. But Nooooooo! I can't because I had to fall down a stupid well.' Kagome pouted thoughtfully.

 

 

She had been sitting there for Kami knows how long, waiting for Naraku to show up at the breakfast table. She had had an awful night last night, after that dream she couldn't get back to sleep. She tossed and turned and tried not to think anything like that would happen to her friends. Tried to tell herself that she wasn't capable of those hurtful things, but to be honest she really didn't know because her powers hadn't fully developed yet and her feelings had been hurt at the time.

 

 

Thinking things over again she realized that she wouldn't be able to hurt her friends for forgetting her, she would be very hurt yes, but she wouldn't hurt them... nope NOT THEM. Inuyasha on the other hand, she didn't know if she would be able to hurt him or not. She tried to convince herself that she couldn't be able to hurt him but remembering all of the times he had hurt her and made her mad she knew that she would be able to hurt him at least a little bit and enjoy it too, until after everything was done would she be able to feel the guilt.

 

 

`I am going to stay pure. Remember that. I am going to stay pure. I have to stay pure in order to keep the Jewel from being tainted. I have to complete the Jewel and make an unselfish wish in order for it to disappear.' Kagome thought.

 

 

Just as she was about to get up and go back to her room she felt the presence of the one she wished to avoid, the one that looked devilishly handsome this gloomy morning. The thought came unbidden to her mind and before she knew it she was blushing, hating the fact that his eyes seemed to catch everything and know exactly why. It was impossible she knew but the way he looked at her now made her think of someone going to market to buy a roast for dinner.

 

 

He was hungry, he knew, but he wasn't hungry for the food that was sat nicely upon the long table. He was hungry for the woman that sat staring at him with a little bit of awe in her eyes. What was wrong with him?! What was wrong with her?! He stared at the fine creature as he took his place at the table. The servant that was standing nearby gave him his plate and then gave Kagome hers. She waited like she was supposed to, until after he took the first bite, and then cautiously took a bite from her plate.

 

 

Naraku couldn't help but think back to the dream he had had last night. He normally don't dream so when he does he knows that there is a purpose to those but what purpose could come from seducing the young miko in front of him. Seducing her and enjoying it immensely. His dream was of him and her, in his room sharing not only a night of pure primal passion but a lifetime of it. This is the part he was shocked about.

 

 

`What is going on? All of this is happening under my very nose. What is it about this tiny Miko that has caught my attention and grabbed my senses? What kind of trickery is this? Could she somehow put some sort of spell on me? No, but that is not possible. She wouldn't do that, for one is it too evil for her to even think of and for another she is in love with that annoying half-breed, Inuyasha. Plus I would be able to resist any such things and would be able to sense when that kind of work is around.' Naraku thought as he slowly ate his food.

 

 

`Why is he looking at me like that? I wonder why he is staring at me like I am some kind of mystical being. He knows who and what I am so what's the deal? Kami I am so confused right now, I wish I could talk to Kaede or better yet Mom. I miss my family so much. I wish I could talk to mom and listen to gramps go on and on about stuff I already know and yes I even miss Souta teasing me about everything.' she thought with a sad sigh sipping her hot tea.

 

 

“What is it that causes you to sigh, little priestess?" Naraku asked her, raising a brow as he finished.

 

 

“Nothing you would understand I am sure.” Kagome said as politely as she could. She did not want to upset the hanyou sitting so close to her.

 

 

“Try me, little one.” He mocked her.

 

 

“I would rather not. I don't think you would understand it anyway.” She said sighing once more.

 

 

“Fine, I will not force you to tell me but if you don't stop that infernal sighing I will not be held responsible for the outcome.” Naraku said harshly.

 

 

He knew she couldn't help it and he also knew that she had no idea that her sighing reminded him of his dream. Her eyes rounded for a moment and then she nodded. He nodded in return thanking Kami she would no longer do it and then he did something to make her giggle a bit. He himself sighed.

 

 

He knew it would be a little funny but the girl didn't have to sound so innocent. He knew she was a complete and pure innocent and damn it if it wasn't getting on his very last nerves. He was going to go and meet Kikyou after breakfast and see what she had to say about the Inuyasha group and her insights on Inuyasha himself. He looked at the girl and she covered her mouth trying to hide the fact that she had laughed. He knew that his eyes had taken on a playful mischievous look to them and quickly closed his eyes.

 

 

Kagome couldn't believe what she had seen. He was about to laugh, she knew it! Maybe he wasn't as hard and evil and everyone thought him to be. She knew she couldn't make that assumption on just basically meeting him and being held prisoner by him either.

 

 

“I wonder if he laughs at all? I wonder what he is like on his own or as a boy maybe? …………… Oh dear, I need to get out of here before I start contemplating everything else about this evil, strange, mysterious, handsome man… demon… Hanyou! What is it about me and being attracted to hanyous?” Kagome thought with a little sigh.

 

 

“What have I told you about that racket? I will be leaving after breakfast. You are free to roam about the castle as long as Kagura and/or Kanna are with you. Do I make myself clear?”

 

 

“Yes, perfectly clear.”

 

 

Naraku stood and walked to the door before glancing at the small frame of the miko in his dining room. He smirked at his plan and went to join Kikyou for their discussion.

 

 

Kagome was left in the dining room to eat alone and silently clear her thoughts. Kagura and Kanna stood just inside the door incase the miko wanted to leave the room. Which she did, she asked if the palace had a garden to which the answer was… yes. They took her to her destination and sat quietly on a bench outside. It was quiet a lovely garden. Roses, pansies, carnations… you name it. She couldn't believe her eyes, so many beautiful things at such an evil place. She had asked Kagura who had planted them and all she would say was that they were there before she was created.

 

 

With the Inuyasha group

 

 

 

“I miss Kagome!” Shippou cried out.

 

 

“I know Shippou, I miss her too.” Sango agreed.

 

 

“As do I little one, I am sure we all do. Well I am sure that most of us do.” Miroku muttered the last part.

 

 

“Hey! I heard that you rotten Monk. I miss her too ya know!” Inuyasha said and turned a pretty shade of pink.

 

 

Sango knew that Inuyasha only blushed when he had said a true and meaningful thing. She just couldn't believe he would say it in front of Kikyou. Who just sat there gazing off into space like usual.

 

 

“I am sure we will find her soon. She is a strong miko for being so young and untrained.” Was the dead reply of Kikyou.

 

 

Miroku stared at the dead priestess as if she had grown another head. Since when did Kikyou care of what others felt and why the sudden compassion but before he could ask her she leaned over to Inuyasha and told him that she needed to feed.

She got up and headed off into the forest for her morning feed. She walked several yards away before calling to Naraku.

 

 

“You can come out now, I know your there and we are safe here.”

 

 

Naraku appeared as if out of thin air and stood directly in front of the dead miko. He nodded to her and she slowly sat down where she stood. Naraku of course did the same and they stared at each other before continuing on with their business.

 

 

“What news do you have for me, Kikyou?”

 

 

“They all miss her terribly but they believe the story I concocted and are now searching for her. I have led them in circles so far but they will not believe me for long and will shortly start looking in a different direction.”

 

 

“Not to worry on that part. I have started my plan and you can go ahead and let them go where ever they wish because no matter how they try they will not find my castle. I have moved it yet again and I am sure even you wouldn't be able to find at this moment in time.”

 

 

“I will continue to be with the group and make sure that they stay clear of the palace. I believe it is time for Inuyasha to have a run in with his brother, Sesshoumaru.”

 

 

Naraku nodded and disappeared. He went back to his castle to set the second stage of plan into action. He was going to get Kagome to love him, no matter what. One way or another she would love him and he would enjoy using her for his ultimate plan. He would make Inuyasha pay once and for all. Kikyou made sure that Naraku was truly gone before going and finding some souls for her to feed off of.

 

 

 

With the Inuyasha gang

 

Inuyasha was in his tree as always, just sitting and listening to the silent morning. They were all waiting for Kikyou to get back before heading off to find Kagome. Inuyasha looked as if he was resting peacefully but if you looked close enough you would be able to see one of his ears tweak every now and then.

 

Miroku was sitting by the remains of last night's camp fire. He was thinking of his past, present and future. He couldn't help but suddenly feel like there was a major chance of him not surviving the final battle with Naraku. He would do his best to make sure that everyone stays alive, along with himself. He looked at his hand and sighed slightly, wishing that in the end of this whole episode that his hand and future would be free and clear.

 

Sango on the other hand wasn't only thinking of the future, but if it contained a very hentai monk. She might act like she doesn't like him but they all knew that her and Miroku had a thing going between them. When things were over they might just have a chance at a wonderful life, IF Miroku ever learned to keep his hands to himself. Sango knew that she would lose her brother for good but she had known that for awhile now, but no matter how long she knew it would still hurt when he finally left this earth.

 

Shippou was lying curled by Kirara. Having dreams of Kagome and missing her like crazy. He tossed and turned, seemingly couldn't find the right position in which to lie. He cried out a small “Kagome” before going into a light slumber yet again.

 

At hearing a whispered “Kagome” Inuyasha's ears perked up and he suddenly felt extreme guilt about having a fight with her just before she had gotten taken by that demon. Inuyasha looked up into the almost mid afternoon sky searching his mind for ways to find Kagome. A slight breeze hit him in the face, and along with that breeze came the odor of earth and bones.

 

`Gomen nasai, Kagome.' Inuyasha thought sadly as he watched Kikyou.

Kikyou walked into the sad little camp. She eyed the small Kitsune cub, Monk and Taijiya (sp?). She didn't like them and they didn't like her but that didn't matter; all that matters is if she can get Inuyasha to love her to where he will be blinded by anything she says. Smirking a little bit before she sat down, looking up into the tree where Inuyasha sat.

 

“Inuyasha, I believe it is time we resumed our search for Kagome.” Kikyou stated in her dead tone.

 

Inuyasha jumped down from his tree and walked over to her and hunkered down to where she could get on his back. Sango woke Shippou from his nap, and Kirara transformed into her demon form and off they went Miroku, Sango and Shippou on Kirara and Kikyou riding on Inuyasha's back. Little did they know that they were going into the lands of the feared, The Lord of the Western Lands… Lord Sesshoumaru.
