Sexi3_Kagome69ner—So sorry for the late update.

 

EnV—Tsuyoi made puppets that appeared to be Hiei and Kagome. The inu brothers smelled `Kagomes' blood and rushed to her aid, not realizing both were fake. The puppet Kagome then stabbed Inu but Inu didn't die, he just got paralyzed temporarily by the poison. Sesshy went after the puppet Hiei, thinking it was the real one.

 

Megan Consoer—Thanks for reviewing again!

 

Rainstorm61879—Thanks! I know I have a tendency to rush things. ^-^

 

Ice Vixen X—Yay! Someone actually understood my chapter!

 

HeartStar—Thankies!

 

Suki-sama—Thank ya!

 

ice_princess_1185—Your welcome! I just love lemons!

 

AshNight—Kagome usually appears as the heroine in my tales just because she's always being put down by Kikyou in the anime so I tend to vent.

Dark Ice Kitsune—Thanks! And sorry for the slow updates.

 

shadow miko—The real Hiei is with the real Kagome. Remember? They just got out of bed and are one their way to find the others. I know, I know, I should update more. Gomen ne.

Chapter 17: Tsuyoi's Growing Web

Sesshomaru growled angrily, red seeping into his eyes. `How dare that apparition harm Kagome. I will tear him limb by limb.' Unknown to the taiyoukai, he was being led into a trap. The Hiei he chased was merely a puppet made by Tsuyoi. Sesshomaru quickly caught up to the apparition and seized him by the neck.

“What is the meaning of this. This Sesshomaru will not tolerate your presence any longer.” In his anger, Sesshomaru failed to notice that thousands of tentacles were emerging from the demon's back. His hand went slack around the demon's throat as crimson showed on his white attire. Tentacles had suddenly sprouted from the puppet to pierce the taiyoukai. Sesshomaru pushed himself away and snarled with pure fury.

“Tsuyoi.” Sesshomaru growled the evil demon's name. His mind worked furiously. If the Hiei he chased was merely a puppet, then was the Kagome he saw a puppet as well? A bright green whip emerged from his hand as he chuckled at the evil hanyou. “So you think to defeat this Sesshomaru with a mere puppet.” The bright green light cut the air and sliced the puppet to bits, leaving the evil scent of Tsuyoi behind.

Worry began to seep through his mind. If Kagome had been a puppet, then Inuyasha was in danger. The proud taiyoukai, bloody wounds and all, sped back through the forest toward where he had left his brother and the puppet of Kagome.

 

 

Meanwhile, Kagome and Hiei were beginning to wonder where everyone was. They had checked Sesshomaru's castle and both inu brothers were absent. A sense of dread skittered up Kagome's spine. “Hiei, you should go check on Yusuke and the others. Something's not right.” Hiei looked at Kagome and then agreed. He had long learned that her senses were often correct. He was hesitant to leave her alone, but she insisted and he could do nothing but follow her prompts. As Hiei disappeared, Kagome headed toward the forest. She had felt a strangely familiar presence there and wanted to check it out, but she was worried for her new-found comrades (Yusuke, etc.).

As she entered the forest, she felt another chill of apprehension. Deeper and deeper still she went until her ears picked up the low familiar sound of a growl. The clang of blades made her rush forward. She couldn't believe her eyes. Before her were Hiei and Tsuyoi fighting. `How is that possible?! Hiei just left to check on the others!' As if hearing her thoughts, the Hiei puppet snarled at her to get back. A voice that sounded like Hiei's resonated in her mind, telling her that he had returned because he smelled Tsuyoi. Kagome clutched her head tightly; Hiei's voice seemed to tear into her barriers and pierce her mind. Before she passed out, she saw the figure of Hiei turning into a puppet and Tsuyoi advancing on her with a victorious grin.

 

 

A/N: Sorry it's so short, but I'm pressed for time. Please forgive me for this confusing and crappy chapter. I may come back and redo it. I hope you guys haven't given up on me. There will be a few more chapters.
