BastardOmega: I'm so sorry it has taken me forever, I'm going to get your story back to you ASAP. Thank you for being so patient, I really appreciate it.

Coming Undone

*8*Kagura and Kagome*8*

Something takes a part of me.

Something lost and never seen.

Everytime I start to believe,

Something's raped and taken from me... from me.

Kagura left the stuporous girl standing in the middle of the room as she left to go and lay out the clothes the miko was to wear to the party. She entered the bathroom and started the shower, once done she arranged the clothes on the vanity table so that the miko could get dressed just as soon as she was finished bathing.

Life's got to always be messing with me. (You wanna see the light)

Can't they chill and let me be free? (So do I)

Can't I take away all this pain. (You wanna see the light)

I try to every night, all in vain... in vain.

As soon as she had all of the necessary items that would be required to make sure the miko was at her best for her public debut, she walked back out to collect said miko. She smirked viciously when she saw that the miko had not moved an inch from the spot where she had been left.
"What a darling little puppet you are, pretty little miko. I bet you just can't wait to feel my brother make you his own can you? It will be sooo much fun, that I promise you" she drawled as she slowly ran a finger down from Kagome's neck to her shoulder.

Sometimes I cannot take this place.

Sometimes it's my life I can't taste.

Sometimes I cannot feel my face.

You'll never see me fall from grace

Kagura jumped as she felt the miko's power sting her with a slight jolt. Then she smirked, "Not as unresponsive as my brother thought then, Ne?" she whispered drawing close to the miko's ear.
A sudden look of revulsion crossed Kagome's face unbidden.
"That may be how you feel now, but I assure you, that will change," she continued whispering.
Kagura drew back and her manner suddenly became much different.
"You will go in there and wash your filthy skin, you dirty little ningen," she said with no small amount of seething hatred. "Once done you will don the proper attire, which I have deemed appropriate for your station." With that said, she gave the miko a harsh push towards the door.

Something takes a part of me.

You and I were meant to be.

A cheap fuck for me to lay

Something takes a part of me

Kagome stumbled but awkwardly caught herself and continued walked towards the bathroom, very much resembling a live automaton, and shut the door behind her.
Kagura frowned, there was something funny about the miko, and it wasn't just the "spell" she was supposed to be under. No, there was something else going on here. Even if she was not completely under the influence of the pendant around her neck, she should not have been able to show any voluntary emotion.
Kagome sighed with relief once she had the door completely closed. The instant she knew it was safe, and that Kagura would not be able to see her any longer, she slumped against the door as weariness overtook her features.

She got undressed and thought to herself, 'Well, at least I will be able to face whatever may come clean.'

She climbed into the shower and just let the hot mist steam over her body as she tried to relax and focus her mind on the events at hand.

A few minutes later, once Kagome had settled her breathing, and could feel some of the tension draining away from her, she was finally able to relax to a small degree. "Oh Inuyasha, where are you?" she murmured to herself. She knew that she was in for a brutal night and wanted her body to remain as healthy and rested as possible in hopes that it would be enough to bring down that wretched dark hanyou.

As she felt the last of the tension drain from her muscles, she felt a familiar tingling sensation at the back of her skull.

'Funny' she thought to herself, 'I remember feeling this same feeling right before the vision I had of Kikyou.

And with those words bouncing around in her head, she slowly sagged against the shower wall as her world faded into darkness.

*8*Kikyou and Kagome*8*

Kagome slowly opened her eyes and found that she was in the pristine white refuge in her mind. Once again, she stood before her dead friend Kikyou.

"I must explain what I know before we continue any further this night. Naraku will not be easy to defeat. He harbors the power of quick regeneration, which makes even wounding him difficult. The Kami's have told me that the only way to ensure that he is dead is to completely wipe out his existence. How this is to be done, I can not tell you. I can't even tell you if you will depart from this adventure as carefree as you once were. All that I CAN say is that you will know what to do when the time comes." She said in a breathless rush.

"But what about the pendant he is wearing, and the pendants that all of the guest youkai will be wearing? How can I attack him if he will be invulnerable with that around his neck." She asked.

"To put your mind to rest about these "protective amulets" they wear, I will tell you what I know about them." Kikyou said as she thought back to a few minutes earlier. "Did you not notice that right after Naraku tried to initiate the mating rite, you did not feel my presence in your mind as strongly as before?"

Kagome nodded her head, expression thoughtful.

"This is the reason why. . . ."

++Flashback++

She watched from a corner in the room as her sister hung up the phone. "Kaede, I still don't know how you managed to make that thing believe you are that demon witch that we purified so long ago. What was her name again?" She said as she chuckled lightly.

"It is simple child, he is so power hungry that he rarely pays attention to the small details that make all the difference," Kaede replied as she turned to her long dead sister's ghost in the corner, "And her name was Urusae."

"Still, I did not expect him to be THAT simpleminded," she snorted derisively. "Sister, you must tell me what spells you placed upon the amulets. I must know what kind of counterspell we need in order to break to insure the evil one's demise."

"You will not have to worry about neutralizing the effects of the spells, my sister. In fact, I believe they will work in your favor," Kaede said as she began to explain to her sister the powers of each of the amulets.

*8*End Flashback*8*

"So you see, there is nothing to worry about on that account. In fact I believe it WILL help us achieve our ultimate goal." Kikyou said as she started to fade out once more.

Feeling like a freak on a leash. (You wanna see the light)

Feeling like I have no release. (So do I)

How many times have I felt diseased? (You wanna see the light)

Nothing in my life is free... is free

Kagome was forcibly yanked from any further contact with the spirit of her friend by a dose of cold water. . . .very cold water. She came back to herself and looked up to see Kagura staring down at her enraged, and holding an empty water pitcher.

Something takes a part of me.

You and I were meant to be.

A cheap fuck for me to lay

Something takes a part of me.

"I don't know what you are scheming in that stupid little ningen mind of yours, but I know you have somehow overcome the spell contained in the amulet. You little bitch, you will never harm my gracious and loving brother. . . . .I WILL NOT ALLOW IT" Kagura snarled as she yanked Kagome out of the shower and whirled her across the room.

GO!

So...fight! something on the... dum na ema

Fight...some things they fight

And it was at the exact moment when she hit the wall, she realized she was going to have to kill the youkai bitch. She struggled to regain her footing, but once back on her feet she looked across the small room. Kagura had already taken up a defensive pose. Kagome charged at Kagura, willing her powers to fight, even if defense was what she was trained for.

So...something on the... dum na ema

Fight...some things they fight

But Kagura was already braced for impact, and sent her claws towards the miko's face. Kagome managed to dodge the wind youkai's furious swipe, barely.
Kagome could feel her powers slowly building as the two slowly circled one another. Yet, Kagome hesitated. She couldn't help but think to herself that even as evil as Kagura was, she didn't deserve to die.
Kagura smirked, she had heard Jangalang's wild claims as he had been dragged down the hall to her brother's office, she figured she could use them to her advantage and break the miko.
"Do you think your precious Sesshoumaru is going to save you? No? How about Inuyasha? You actually believe that pathetic excuse for a 'now' demon will be able to defeat my brother? You silly fool!"
Kagura suddenly lowered her voice to sound almost like a lover's caress, "You know, I had Banko tell me all about their deaths. . . . .Kikyo and Inuyasha, I mean. It was soo sweet, their pain. . . .their torture. . . . .I only wish that I could have been there. Oh well, at least I will be able to take pleasure in his second death. . . ."

Fight...something of the... dum na ema

No...some things they fight

Something inside of Kagome snapped, and she suddenly lunged at the youkai in front of her.

Fight...something of the... dum na ema

Fight...some things they fight

She crashed down onto the startled youkai, and she was instantly purified by Kagome's power. Though nothing remained of the body, not even a pile of ash, she knew that she had suddenly gotten herself into a world of trouble.
She dashed around the bathroom, and hastily donned her clothes and applied make-up. She bound her hair up into a bun on the top of her hair and added a pair of black hairsticks as accessories. She had just finished, when she heard the phone ring.

That could only mean one thing. Naraku was calling to see if his "future mate" was ready for the party that was already underway downstairs. She went to walk towards the phone, but realized that her voice would give her away. She was dead, she knew it.

Just as she was about to lose all hope, she felt a warm touch in the back of her mind.

'Don't worry, just let me take over control for a few minutes, I can make use our powers and make you sound like anybody.' she heard Kikyou whisper from the back of her mind.
Once again she headed to the phone, and willed herself to lose control. With every step she took, she felt the force of Kikyou get stronger and stronger within her brain, until suddenly she realized that she had no control at all over her body.

*8*Naraku and Jangalang*8*

=a little while earlier=

Naraku watched in disgust as the thug across from him continued to whine, cry, yell, scream, and sound outrageously loud.

He quickly decided that enough was enough, and told the goon to shut the hell up!

Jangalang quickly stopped crying and looked up at his boss.

"Everyone dies sooner or later, nothing remains behind, no matter what they say in the movies. The soul is simply a figment of the imagination" Naraku said snidely.

"B-B-but he w-was my bro-bro-brother!" Jangalang said in between the hiccups he had given himself while acting like a blubbering idiot.

'It's time to get rid of this little nuisance' he thought to himself as he picked up the phone and dialed the number to Kagura's suite.

"Hello there sister mine, is my honored guest fully prepared?" he asked.

"Why yes of course she is dear brother, would you expect anything less from me? I was just about to phone you to make you aware of the situation, " she replied.

"Bring her up to my office before you go to the party, I think I will give her powers a test run before the show, you could say. I want you to leave as soon as she is inside my office. I don't want them to suspect a thing. Understood?"

"Hai, my beautiful brother," she replied.

*8* Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha *8*

They had finally arrived at the "Manse", just as the party was swinging into full gear.

"How the hell are we supposed to get in?" Inuyasha huffed out.

"Got it covered little brother," Sesshoumaru replied as he flashed his tickets to his brother.

"Oh, well I guess that does make it a bit easier, Ne?" he replied with a snarky smirk.

They sauntered up to the two uniformed guards, and Sesshoumaru passed them their tickets. The guards handed them a pendant each, and they were told that they must keep these on during the duration of the party. They slipped the pendants over their heads,even though they knew of the powers possessed within them, and sauntered into the building.

Once inside they headed directly to the ballroom. Sesshoumaru had been to the parties enough to know that everything that was going to happen would happen in the ballroom.
"Where the hell is she, or him for that damned fact of the matter? I swear by all that's holy, he had better not have touched her. He will beg me for death if such is the case," Inuyasha said as his eyes scanned the room.
It was then that Sesshoumaru noticed the blood red color that was infusing his brother's eyes.

Keep holding on

When my brain's tickin' like a bomb

Guess the black thoughts have come

Again to get me

*8* Naraku, Kagome, Jangalang *8*

Naraku heard a gentle knock at the door and realized that the miko was waiting for him to grant her entrance.

He smirked, 'These amulets work better than I thought.'

"Enter" he said aloud.

The doors to his study opened and there stood his miko. And she was beautiful.

He smiled at the evil knowledge that he would be the one to break her once this was all done and over with.

He bade her to sit in the other chair that was facing his desk. Then, he directed his attention to the other occupant in the room.

"Jangalang, I think it is time to try out her powers. She if she is truly as powerful as they claim. Why don't you take off your pendant for me? I never really had the chance to look at it."

"Sure, and that sounds good to me boss," Jangalang said living in ignorance about the fact that he would be the one said experiments would be conducted on, as he handed over his protective necklace.

"Kagome, listen very carefully, I want you to purify that youkai in the chair." He said with an evil smirk as Kagome very obediently stood to do as she was told.
Jangalang began to scream as soon as she stood and walked to where he sat in his chair.
She knew that this one had been there, and had helped orchestrate the death's of her two friends, she would rid the world of him gladly.

Sweet bitter words

Unlike nothing I have heard

Sing along mocking bird

You don't affect me

It didn't take much, as Jangalang was really no better than a low level demon.

"Excellent, my dear" he said gleefully, "Now let's go join the party, hmm?"

He rose from the seat behind his desk, grabbed Kagome by the arm, and set off downstairs in search of revenge.

*8* In the Ballroom *8*

.:.:.:.:.:.:Sesshoumaru POV

That's right

Deliverance of my heart

Sesshoumaru was still scanning the ballroom for any sign of Kagome or Naraku, when suddenly his attention was drawn to the front of the room where a huge stage had been set up.

All the lights in the room were trained on the small stage, and the pounding dance beat was quickly killed as the host and the guest of honor appeared on the stage.

Sesshoumaru almost forgot to breathe as he took in the sight before his dazzled eyes. He had never realized that his little friend Kagome had grown to be such a beauty.

He quickly snapped himself back to reality as he realized that Naraku was beginning to speak.

Be straight

Be deliberate

"Brothers and Sisters, I have brought you here once again to fully celebrate the wonders of Devil's Night. The one night of the year when we get to cause chaos in the streets, and the city is our playground." He started out.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:Inuyasha POV

Wait

I'm coming undone

Unlaced

Inuyasha had been struck as dumb as his brother at the sight of her on the stage in the beautiful blue and gold kimono, her hair swept back from her face. He was so entranced that he missed the first few words of Naraku's speech. He quickly made himself pay attention.

I'm coming undone

Too late

I'm coming undone

"I have decided to gift you with a treat of some rarely seen entertainment that most of us have not seen in hundreds of years. May I present to you the "Lady Kagome", he continued. Inuyasha knew exactly what kind of treat they were going to be 'graced with'.

What looks so strong

So delicate

Wait

Even though he knew that the amulets they were wearing were supposed to make them weaker to Kagome's miko powers, for some reason he felt comforted by the fact that he had the pendant on. It was almost as if he could feel Kikyou beside him. 'Leave it on' he suddenly heard in his head. 'Kikyou?' he thought. 'Hai, it's me, leave it on, you must trust me on this. And no matter what happens, you MUST not interfere until I tell you too. Can you do that?' He felt a low growl start deep in his chest. 'It is important for her safety! Can you do that?' he heard again.

A short, terse 'Hai' was his only response.

His growling was getting louder and louder the longer the damned idiot blabbered on.

I'm starting to suffocate

And soon I anticipate

I'm coming undone

He could feel himself starting to lose control of the fight he was currently raging with his beast.

What looks so strong

So delicate

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:Naraku's pov

Choke choke again

They're out to get me

Naraku felt himself swell slightly with pride at the fact that he was going to totally own the quiet, beautiful miko at his side. Things had never been better for him.

I find my demons were my friends

Getting me in the end

"I have chosen her because out of all of the things I could have done for you, this seemed the best way to return the gesture, as it were," he said bursting with ego.

Since I was young

I've tasted sorrow on my tongue

"She offers a different type of entertainment, one that has caused others in the past to suffer quite horribly, and others derived the highest pleasure from it." He continued on.

And this sweet chugga gun

Does not protect me

If only he had looked out of the corner of his eye, he would have seen said miko starting to glow a white tinged pink aura of pure holy ki. An aura that got stronger with every breath he took, every word he spoke.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:Kagome's POV

That's right

Trigger between my eyes

She was burning, on fire, frightfully alive with the powers she had always thought to be mainly repressed in her case. She had thought she would never have the time to use them for the ultimate goodness of the world.

Please strike

Make it quick now

As soon as his speech was finished he turned to look at her, and was awed by what he saw there.

Very slowly, very quietly, and very forcefully she muttered through gritted teeth "I don't think so Naraku."

Wait

I'm coming undone

Unlaced

Wait

As she slowly started to move towards him, she heard Kikyo's voice as if she were hearing it through a

long tunnel, "KAGOME! KAAAGOMEE! I KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT YOU MUST DO! My sister cast a reflection spell on the amulet Naraku wears! As long as you both wear them, then you will share the same demon powers he possesses! You must use his absorption technique, and absorb his body into yours! It is the only way! You spiritual power is enough that it will purify the evil of his flesh. Remember everything happens for a reason, but your path is what you choose it to be! I don't know what will happen to you when this happens, I don't even know if you will be able to survive it, or what you will become once you have! But he must be destroyed!"

"Hai, I will do what I must!" She replied to the confines of her mind.

I'm coming undone

Too late

She suddenly lunged at Naraku, since he was not expecting that, he was not quick enough to jump out of the way.

I'm coming undone

What looks so strong

So delicate

She wrapped her arms tightly around him, and felt the pendants reacting to the close proximity of her holy ki, and his evil aura.

I'm starting to suffocate

And soon I anticipate

Then the pain began. Agonizing, white hot blisters of pain soared along her body as the amulets started the process of absorbing all of the evilness that was Naraku.

I'm coming undone

What looks so strong

So delicate

She felt as if she were being pulled apart at the seams. She felt her soul being filled with a radical darkness.

I'm trying to hold it together

Head is lighter than a feather

Was there no end to it? She let out a shrill shriek of pain, all who were present would later testify that it reminded them of the Phoenix of the old legends when it was engulfed on it's death pyre.

Looks like I'm not getting better

Not getting better

There was a sudden flash of light, the transformation complete. But then only darkness, until the flood lights kicked on in.

&$&$&$&$&$Inuyasha's POV

He watched in utter disbelief at the scene that was unfold in front of him. Once his eyes had readjusted to the darkness of the room, he immediately looked towards the stage.

Kagome had been able to get herself up to her knees, then her feet. That was as far as she could manage on her own.

Her eyes seemed to stare off into space, and it was then that he noticed the changes in her appearance.

Wait

I'm coming undone

Unlaced

Even though she had always been attractive to him, it seemed that her figure seemed fuller now. She had full demon markings on her cheeks, eyelids, arms, feet, and probably in other places he could not yet see.

I'm coming undone

Too late

I'm coming undone

Her hair was now down to her ankles, and where it was once completely midnight black, there were now streaks of white, pink and blood red. She also had wings now, he noticed, they went from completely snow white at the top to blood tinged at the bottommost tips. He noticed as well that while her markings were mainly dark pink, they seemed to have a thick black edge around them.

What looks so strong

So delicate

He had never seen that happen to a demon before, the black edge seemed to be getting bigger as he watched it.

He could still see her aura surrounding her, but instead of it's usual crystal clear pink, he noticed there was mainly black traced into her aura as well.

Wait

I'm starting to suffocate

And soon I anticipate

'What is happening?' he thought to himself.
"INUYASHA! INUYASHA!" he heard Kikyou's voice echoing in his head.

"You have to listen to me because you must act fast! You MUST go to Kagome! She is now a Miko Demon, and this is the only way to SAVE her! The only thing that can save her now is you and your love for her. It will give her the courage and the strength needed to break free and purify the evil that is as we speak devouring her soul. Hurry Inuyasha! Hurry!"

I'm coming undone

What looks so strong

So delicate

A look of horror crossed his face, as he heeded her dire warning, Inuyasha ran to the stage, only one thought crossing his mind, "Kagome! Hang on, I'm coming for you! Don't you leave me now!"

A/N: So how'd you guys like it huh? I have about one or more chapters and then I think this one will be complete. *Sniffles* Le Sigh, and so the fic draws closer to it's end.
