The Prettiest Lie
Chapter1: The Trick Of The Devil
Summary: Kagome's changed. She's finaly free of everything. Only to have Naraku's mad plan put into action and tie her to the most anoying and attractive demon on the planet. What's a girl to do?
Inuyasha embraced the woman in his arms.
"Inuyasha," she whispered, her dull brown eyes searching his. "Do you love me?"
Inuyasha brought her closer to him. "Of course Kikyou."
"Then what of my copy?" She asked him. "Do you love her as well?"
"No Kikyou." He whispered. "Only you."
So there they stood, in the middle of the forest clearing, confessions made. It was such a tender moment.
Until of course, someone laughed.
The two in the clearing looked towards the source of the laughter.
And there stood their disturbance.
"God, Inuyasha. You get stupider everytime I see you." She was leaning against a tree, her legs crossed, with a smirk on her face. She was dressed in all black. Loose black pants, and a tight black tank top. Black wristbands covered each of her wrists, and a sword was hooked on her waist. Her hair hung was loose, flowing down her back.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha questioned.
"The one and only." she answered, pushing off from the tree and twirling around mockingly. "Who did you expect?"
Shaking his head, he growled. "What are you doing back here? Haven't you done enough damage last time?"
Her mystic blue eyes widened for just a moment before her arrogant look was back in place. "Why Inuyasha!" She waltzed over to the tense hanyou. "I am so hurt you think of me that way!"
He growled again. "What do you want?"
She walked over to Kikyou, taking the shikon shards from the older miko. Kikyou handed them over without a fight. "Nothing that I don't already have." She told him, lifting the container of shards for the hanyou to see.
He ran at her flexing his claws, only to have her put up a shield.The magic sparkled in front of the hanyou's eyes. It wasn't a pure pink like it used to be. It was a dark grey/black. He was thrown back into a tree.
He looked up when she dropped the shield. She blew a kiss in his direction. Laughing again, she lifted up her hand with the shards, and closed her eyes. Before he could blink, she was gone.
The only sign she was ever there was the lingering scent of red roses.
He was left in the clearing to glare at Kikyou.
"Playtime's over, bitch." Naraku spit out as he send another miasma attack towards her.
This time she didn't have enough time to block.
Falling to her knees, she gasped for air, chocking on the purple gas that surrounded her.
"You.." She coughed, barely getting enough air to breathe. "You bastard!" She stopped breathing, shakily getting up to her feet. Tears were running down her face. She was beyond pissed.
Lifting her hands out in front of her, she closed her eyes. A dark light errupter from her palms, aiming staright for Naraku. His eyes widened, mouth opened in a silent scream. He didn't have time to dodge the attack.
In the end, Kagome fell in a heap on the floor.
Naraku could barely stand, but Kagura appeared on her feather, taking them both back to his castle.
Seshoumaru sped through the forest, just a white blur to passing eyes. And while he moved fast enough, his thought were even faster.
'Naraku, you bastard. How dare you take what belongs to me?'
Soon he wasn't in the forest anymore, but in a clearing. He has stopped. He felt them first.
A few seconds later, a wave of demons erupted into the clearing. A roaring mass of ugly mindless lower level youkai.
Seshoumaru growled. His hand was on Toukijin, and as soon as they were close enough, he was in the air, slicing through the ugly mass.
"Naraku!" He growled. "If you think this will stop me, you're betting your life away."
He knew Naraku was watching, ever the coward by hiding.
He sliced the last of the demons, landing quietly on the grass below him, and watching as the pieces of demon flesh fell around him like rain. But before he could move towards his original destination, another presence has made itself known.
The trees behind his fell apart, a broken entrance for the giant bear demon. He roared and charged at Seshoumaru.
Sighing, he whipped his sword towards the demon.
Now, Naraku was just asking for it.
Kagome woke up to the feeling of someone poking her and the soft sound of crying. Groaning, she turned away, only to feel burning all over her body. She hissed, opening her eyes and sitting up. At first, she didn't see anything. It was much too dark. But when he eyes adjusted to the darkness, she noticed she was in some sort of dungeon.
Then she noticed the small bundle of a child sitting beside her in ripped clothes.
"Rin?" she questioned.
"Kagome!" She squeeled, before hurling herself into the older girls arms. "Rin was so scared that the evil spider man was gonna hurt Rin!" She whispered, huging Kagome tighter.
Kagome winced, knowing that there were definetly a few bruises around her stomach and back. Slowly, her arms went around the small child, comforting her.
She wondered however, for what purpose would Naraku need a child.
"Don't worry Kagome. I'm sure Seshoumaru-sama will come soon to rescue us." she child said witha bright smile.
And then she knew.
Naraku walked down the long, empty hallway, enjoying the silence.
He smiled. Despite his currently weekend state, he had everything he needed to carry out his plan.
Pushing the door to the dungeon open, he took a key from his pocket and turned it in the second lock.
Slowly, the door creaked open, and he heard the scurrying of feet in the other room.
When he walked in, it didn't take him long to find the face of the miko. She looked gorgeous, despite the smudges of dirt on her face and unrule way her hair fell in her face. Her blue, blue eyes were burning with a hatered he knew she possed just for him, and he smiled.
"I see the sleeping beauty has awakened." It didn't take long to spot the other human in the room, though she has taken up her hiding place behind the miko.
He sensed Seshoumaru approach at lightning speed a few seconds before the wall behind his exploded, green acid dripping from where the wall stood just seconds prior.
"And here's our guest of honour." Seshoumaru growled at him, but he paid it no mind. "And now that everyone's here, I just wanted to say it's so Great to have all of you TOGETHER!" He laughed at his own joke.
Pulling out a pouch from his pocket, he lifted out the sparkling dust. He waited for the youkai to send the child from the room. Merely seconds later, he cleared his throat. "I just wanted to thank you both for joining my party!" before neither could respond, the dust was out of his hand and all over the two occupants of the room. The dust landed and sparkled, evaporating on contact. Naraku chanted under his breath. Everything stilled.
One of his crimson eyes opened, and he laughed. "I really do hope you like eachother." He told them. "Because you're going to spend the rest of your lives together!" He laughed, ignoring the threat of Kagome's miko powers, or Seshoumaru's claws. "Oh and before I forget," he chuckled again to himself. "If one of you dies," his eyes skipped from the miko to the youkai. "So does the other." He dissapered in a puff of smoke, and seconds later the illusion of a castle dissapeared as well. Al that was left were two somewhat confused creatures.
Kagome huffed. Well that was a waste of time. If she knew Naraku was bored enough to kidnap her just to sprinkle some imaginary dust on her, she would've recomended him a psychiatrist.
She huffed again. Her back was killing her! She looked around her previous prison. Nothing was left of it but dust. She shrugged, knowing she wouldn't miss it.
Rubbing her arm, she looked back at Seshoumaru, and now Rin who was clinging to his leg. Rolling her eyes at the child's naivety, she walked away.
Or, she walked 5 steps and then almost tripped on thin air. Looking at the ground she saw nothing. She tried again. Pulling her foot as hard as she could. It was then that she noticed something. Turning around she looked at the faint string that was leading away from her. Following the glowing light, her eyes tarced to a foot. Then up to the very unhappy eyes a of a very unhappy Taiyoukai.
"Aw man!" she groaned. "He chained me to you!"
Hi! I decided that I need a fic that happens in the Feudal Era, so I made this one.
Please R&R.
