I don’t own anything…

The rating issue…I will consider dropping it down but I seriously think that Inuyasha slaughtering an entire village in cold blood is worthy of being rated R…

Thanks to all reviewers!

Lady DragonSupreme: I have no idea what you want me to do with a Shikon shard or this clone of Tetsusaiga…

Trails of Deceit…

Hisato’s castle, deep in the Northern Lands…

Hisato lay whimpering and moaning in a dank prison cell. “Thank you, Lord Hisato. You have given me enough power to re-form my old body, “ Naraku sneered down at the prone form of the Northern Lord. Hisato backed away from Naraku and started sobbing uncontrollably. Naraku chuckled, “KuKuKu…Your body will be of great service for my revenge. I shall use your shape to weave my web of deceit.” With that, the evil hanyou shifted into Hisato’s look-alike, even down to the Northern Lord’s scent.  Hisato watched Naraku go with lifeless eyes.

On the edge of the Western Lands…

Inuyasha sniffed the air. Yes. She had come this way. The hanyou known as Inuyasha decided to take some caution in exacting his revenge. Instead of blazing through the countryside, slaughtering everything in his path, Inuyasha would skirt around to the backside of the castle and hit Kagome where it hurt. The hanyou howled in pleasure as he executed his plan.

Sesshoumaru’s castle…

It was a long time before the healer called for his Lord. “My Lord,” the healer bowed as Sesshoumaru entered Kagome’s chambers. The Demon Lord motioned for the healer to continue. “The Miko, my Lord, has…accepted your mark.” Sesshoumaru’s mind reeled at this new information. ‘A human…no…a Miko…has…no. Impossible…This Sesshoumaru will not allow this to continue…’ The Demon Lord stalked into the Miko’s chambers. Kagome was still fast asleep, her breath coming and going slowly, oh so slowly. The Demon Lord’s anger left him the instant he saw the mark on Kagome’s neck. A feeling of immense pride and ego bombarded Sesshoumaru’s innermost thoughts. In all his years the Demon Lord had been searching for a mate, this was the first female who accepted his mark. That could only mean that Fate had cursed Sesshoumaru as well as his sire. For now, Sesshoumaru had to finish what he and the Miko started.

Kagome stirred and opened her eyes slowly, greeted by a pair of intriguing golden eyes. The Miko pulled a pillow out from under her head and hid from view. “Wake up, Miko,” a deep voice rumbled. Kagome tried to bat Sesshoumaru away but instead got her hand caught. The Demon Lord growled strangely and Kagome finally sat up. Yawning Kagome asked, “How long have I been asleep?” Sesshoumaru smirked down at his charge, “Two days.” The Miko groaned and went to jump out of bed. But Sesshoumaru had other plans. “Do you why you were out so long, Miko?” Kagome laughed nervously and shook her head. “Your body has accepted my mark. And now we have to finish what we started.” Sesshoumaru said this as he pushed Kagome down into the bed and straddled her waist. Kagome eeped and tried to get away.

Sesshoumaru put more weight down on the Miko and started to nip at Kagome’s ear. Kagome moaned and wrapped her arms around the Demon Lord’s neck. Sesshoumaru smiled and was about to continue when the doors burst open to reveal Jaken. “Sesshoumaru-sama! There is trouble on your borders!” The toad stopped mid-hop and gaped at the scene before him. His Lord was in bed with that human Miko! “Lord Sesshoumaru! Has that Sorceress put a spell on you…” GERK! went Jaken as Sesshoumaru’s hand encircled the toad’s neck. “Leave us, Jaken.” The Demon Lord threw his vassel out the door and slammed the doors. Turning back to the bed, Sesshoumaru growled when he saw it was empty. Taking off back out the door, Sesshoumaru went on the hunt for his Miko.

Kagome slipped into a hot spring and shuddered from head to toe. Sliding a finger gingerly over the scarring mark, the Miko sank into the water. ‘I wonder how all this escalated…’ Kagome wondered as she relaxed in the warm water. There was a slight breeze coming from the far door so Kagome got out of the spring, dressed in her robe and went to shut the door. Suddenly, the Miko was grabbed from behind. Kagome knew in an instant that it was Inuyasha. “Well…well…well…it looks as if you have moved on well enough, Kagome.” The Miko shuddered at the chill in the hanyou’s voice. Without anymore hesitation, Inuyasha twisted Kagome’s neck and there was a snap…

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Cliffie…
