Chapter 8: Revival
Drip… drip… drip…
Kagura hung limp, her body locked in chains in a leaky cell.
Scritch, scratchy, scratch…
Correction, Naraku's vermin infested dungeon, in some abandoned castle, reeking of death and disease. It smelled vile, her body felt disgusting, and she had been trapped here for what must have been at least several nights by now, possibly a week; she lost track.
'Damn that Naraku,' she ranted in her mind. Moving slightly, making the chains rattle and scaring off the rats, she became aware of how little feeling she had in her arms. 'Curse him.'
Thud-thump!
She gasped sharply, listening, feeling for the sensation to repeat.
Thud-thump! Thud-thump! Thud-thump!
It was in the midst of this confinement, that Kagura finally got what she wanted, "I can feel my heart beating in my chest again." She hung by her wrists for many minutes, just trying to visualize what was happening. Did he die, or just give it back to watch her suffer in isolation? Who could have finally killed Naraku? And what would happen to her; she was trapped here and no one knew. Would she now die in this prison cell and never know true freedom? That's when she heard the footsteps, feather light, and saw the approaching figure clad in all white. "Kanna!"
"Naraku, he's dead," the void demon spoke apathetically as she pulled the key from her sleeve.
"Really?" Kagura asked, needing the reassurance that he didn't just give her back her heart to use her again. A small nod was the response as the chains were removed from her body, causing her to fall to the floor in a heap. "I'm… free."
Kaede invited them all over for lunch today, which was where Kagome was currently headed when a most formidable sight halted her. "Sess-Sesshomaru," Kagome stuttered out of fear, her eyes darting around for an escape route. "What are you doing here? If you're looking for Naraku he's-"
"Naraku is dead," Sesshomaru's voice held no emotion as he encroached upon her, watching as she tried to subtly escape. 'His scent still cloaks her heavily,' he confirmed what Naraku's scent had already told him.
"What? No, that can't be!" she screamed back. "You're lying; Naraku wouldn't be killed by you."
"Insolent wench," Jaken appeared at his lord's side, waving the staff of two heads around in indignation, "how dare you accuse my lord of such. Naraku has been slain by Lord Sesshomaru's own hands and-"
"Jaken," the imp went silent at the deep commanding baritone. That's when Kagome noticed it with a startled gasp; Sesshomaru had two arms, and a new sword. His approach caused her to stumble backwards until her back hit a hut; trapped by Sesshomaru's looming form.
"I do not lie," he retorted her accusation.
"No, no, no, it's- it's not possible. He, can't be..." her disbelief so potent, she didn't even realize what Sesshomaru was doing.
He pulled the collar of her shirt aside to see the mark beneath, 'He has marked her recently.' These marks, they persisted even after death, keeping the one claimed out of any other's reach. Only a demon stronger than the one who left a mark could replace it. Any humans or weaker demons will only harm both her and themselves if they touch her with such intentions. She would suffer alone, for as much as he was loathe to admit it, Naraku had been powerful, a worthy opponent that now lay dead in his wake. Being mated to a dead demon was to be her punishment, far more suitable than death. Moving again, Sesshomaru snatched up her wrist, bringing her out of her traumatized haze and trying to pull away, without result. The blood pulsing just below her fragile skin, the scent could tell him much. Pulling her arm up, he breathed in deeply, sifting through the delicate pieces for the answer he sought. The scent he was seeking, it was absent. 'She is not carrying.' He released her wrist and she pulled her arm to her chest protectively. Her eyes were still out of focus, her gaze darting every which way, and her emotions fluctuating and threatening to boil over. She was in pure shock. Not wanting to be around when the hysterics started, he made his leave, only uttering, "You are necessary. If not for your unique ability to rid these lands of the accursed jewel upon its completion, I would slay you for your disloyalty to my bloodline."
At that very moment, the ever-happy voice of Rin echoed, "Lord Sesshomaru, look what Rin found!" She held up a small bouquet before seeing the figure crouched against the hut. "Lady Kagome!"
"Rin, we are leaving," Sesshomaru ordered, walking off in the opposite way.
"Yes, Milord," she responded obediently but couldn't help but notice how Kagome didn't look well. She rushed to catch up to him. "Milord, why was Kagome upset? Shouldn't she be glad for your victory?" Her question went without an answer.
After freeing Kagura, Kanna walked off once again without a word. Kagura followed without even considering why she chose so, but her patience dwindled rapidly.
"Kanna, what exactly do you expect to find in a place like this?" Kagura scoffed. This swamp-like forest looked ancient, without a single sign of life.
"Kagura, what is it that you wish?" she redirected the question. She was following orders, and was the only being who knew the truth. Her lack of emotions made it so she could not be read.
"I though that was obvious," Kagura scoffed, opening her fan with a flourish. "Freedom; for I am the wind itself."
"Your wish will come true," Kanna told her silently. True, Kagura had one definition of freedom right now, but she was still bound to a fleshy form. She could go wherever she wanted, but instead, she chose to follow blindly. The thought of being alone made her sick. She would only know true freedom when she was no longer bound to this earth or its inhabitants.
"Don't you understand?" Kagura snapped, completely missing how dependent she was acting. "I have my freedom now that Naraku is dead." When Kanna gave no response, she simply closed her fan and continued to trail behind her sister. They walked in silence before coming to a cave. At the end, was a something shining on a shrine. "A mirror?"
"To meet nevermore," Kanna began reciting,
"Tears of sorrow overflow deep within my heart,
What good this potion of life,
All is but dust in the wind."
The moon grew full, reflecting from the sky, to Kanna, to the mirror on the shrine. "So, Naraku has died," the figure in the mirror stated.
"Who are you; name yourself," Kagura demanded.
"I am the princess of the heavens, Kaguya," waves crashed outside and a castle rose from the lake. "Kagura, your freedom is but a fleeting illusion."
"So what if it is; what about it?" Kagura snapped.
"I shall show you, everlasting freedom; I know your true wish, and I can grant it," she lured.
"Something for us to do to pass the time," she made the excuse, for she would never admit she was lost if she was not being led.
Sesshomaru's declaration had Kagome's mind reeling, not the one about killing her; she didn't even hear that one, but the one about Naraku being dead. Sesshomaru was strong, yes, but Naraku told her he had a plan, and he was not weak either. His barrier prevented Sesshomaru from getting to him, unless that new sword had an ability Naraku wasn't prepared for. Wouldn't he have just fled? Naraku certainly had no qualms about running away before. She had to know one way or the other; it was torture being so lost, 'Wait, I know how to prove Naraku is alive; Miroku's wind tunnel!' It was stabilized, but without Naraku, it had no base, it would disappear if he died. All she had to do was see it, and she'd know he was all right; her fears would be put to rest.
"Miroku!" she called frantically and she burst into Kaede's hut where everyone was currently gathered. "Hurry, show me your hand; show me your wind tunnel!" Too stunned by her sudden frantic tone, he could do nothing but obey, unwrapping it to see what the matter was, but what he saw put him in just as much of a panic. It was gone! "What? No! No! No! Not now! He can't be dead," her speech dissolved back into frantic mumbling.
"Miroku's wind tunnel is gone!" Shippo blurted out.
"Does that mean Naraku is… dead?" Sango asked, not sure if she should be happy or not.
'I knew he would hurt her,' Inuyasha grit his teeth at the sight before him. Kagome was falling apart and it was all that bastard's fault.
Sudden rage overtook Kagome, the likes of which she had never felt. It was easier to process than all-consuming grief. Sesshomaru killed him; Sesshomaru killed the one she loved, and he would pay for this. Slamming her fists on the ground, bruising the sides of her hands, she stood and stormed out. She would find him, and make him regret the day he hurt anyone she cared for. Not two steps from the hut, a pulse struck her chest, nearly sending her to the ground. She froze, letting the angry haze blow away. What was that? Then she felt it again, but not so intense as to steal her breath away this time. A heartbeat; her amulet. She pulled it out, finding the spider carving to be glowing, the trinket to be warm, and pulsing with life. It was as if the item was telling her to trust him, just as she said she did before he left. 'He's alive; Naraku is alive. Somewhere out there, he's still alive,' relief flooded her, and her mind began functioning again. Tears spilled anew, but they were not of sorrow, but of uncontainable joy. He was alive! Thinking it over logically, she began questioning, 'Was all that intentional? Was he trying to fake his death?' She remembered him telling her that her reactions had to be genuine. 'Of course! That's the only way Sesshomaru would stop hunting him, and her; if he believed Naraku to be dead by his own hands.' She was always blown away by her mate's sheer genius. 'I had no idea he was focusing on Sesshomaru; I thought he was going after Kaguya… the legend is that she returned to the moon, I wonder what he has planned.' She was able to breathe again.
That day and night, she returned to her home that Naraku made for her; she needed time to think. Trying to recall everything Naraku had told her before he left, she was sure it was important. He did say there was going to be more dangers than just Kaguya, was Sesshomaru who he was meaning? Whatever he had in the works, it was bound to have repercussions. Needless to say, her sleep that night, was anything but restful.
"Kagome, you're taking this exceptionally well," Miroku probed a few days later, not sure why she was no longer hysteric.
"I trust him," she told her friend, "He'll come back."
'She's in denial, the poor girl,' he hadn't the heart to show her the absence of his curse. "Well, if you are doing alright, I'd like to pay a visit to master Mushin," he informed the group.
"I've been wanting to go back to the slayer village and get some materials for Hiraikotsu," Sango added. "Want to come with, Kohaku?"
"Of course, Sister," he piped right up.
"Lets go, Kirara," she stood, "we will go drop off Miroku on the way." The four of them departed with a friendly wave.
While gone, Kagura struck out at Inuyasha for the fur of the fire rat, Kohaku for the swallow's cowry shell, and ran across Kikyo who had the stone bowl of Buddha. These three items, along with the crystal from the dragon's neck and the jeweled sprig, were the five pieces required to free Kaguya from her mirrored prison. Miroku received news about the repetitive new moon being related to Kaguya, who his grandfather had sealed away, thus setting him on her trail as well. With all of the Inutaichi heading in the same direction, they were bound to meet up once again. Along the way, Kagome and Inuyasha ran into an old acquaintance being accosted by bandits once again. Inuyasha made short work of the thugs.
"Akitoki Hojo," Kagome greeted cheerily. "What are you doing out here?"
"Ah, miss Kagome," he got a goofy grin on his face, "it's so good to see you." Kneeling down to gather his spilled belongings, he continued, "I'm on a mission to throw the celestial robe here into the mount Fuji crater."
"Celestial robe, as in the famous one? Another family heirloom?" she asked. The last time they met, he was on his way to purify half of the Naginata of Kenkon, a demon blade that gave them much trouble.
"We were given the warning that this robe must be destroyed if the moon remains full for many nights, otherwise great calamity will befall these lands," he explained.
"That's right, the moon and a celestial robe; it's the story of princess Kaguya," Kagome remembered from her studies. 'And Naraku mentioned something about Kaguya before he left. What could the connection be?'
"That is certainly an odd pendant you are wearing, Kagome," Hojo commented, letting his curiosity get the better of him and getting just a bit too close. "Where did you attain such a fine trinke- Ouch. What was that, it felt like something stung me."
Kagome looked down to see it glowing lightly again. It must not want anyone near her. "It's… a gift," she covered the glow with her hands protectively before hiding it back into her shirt.
"Holding onto one last remnant of the bastard won't bring him back, Kagome," Inuyasha spoke without thinking. The necklace she'd been wearing lately reeked of her dead mate, it was not hard to figure out who gifted it to her.
"Inuyasha!" she raised her voice. "Sit!"
"He never learns," Shippo shook his head. Really, Inuyasha was lucky that's all he got.
Upon releasing Kaguya from the mirror, Kagura impatiently ordered, "I've kept my promise, now let me have this true freedom you speak of, Kaguya."
"Not yet," she voiced harshly, "there is one more thing I require of you."
A short ways away, Kagome was reading her text book aloud, "Here it is." Kagome pointed out the story of princess Kaguya, reading the details to her friend. "We studied this the last time I went home." A cherry blossom fell onto the page, and when she looked up there was a whole tree full of them raining down. "Cherry blossoms at this time of year?"
"Thanks for saving me the trouble of hunting you down, Kaguya," Inuyasha unsheathed Tessaiga as the threat presented.
"Not the two of you again," Kaguya droned. "What poor luck I have to come across such fools. Where is the celestial robe?" Hojo tightened his grip on the bundle. "There it is!"
"You ain't getting it," Inuyasha loosed a Windscar. Chanting a spell, Kaguya flung it right back.
This type of attack, Shippo recognized, 'Hey, she casts spells by chanting. I know that, Naraku taught me about it; about how to make a return attack harmless.'
Flashback
"Send a fox fire against me?" Naraku instructed once he had the kit out of sight from the village.
"What, seriously?" Shippo trembled.
"It will have no effect; however," Naraku explained, "it can be used to serve the purpose of instruction."
"You won't, get mad?" the child questioned, last thing he wanted was to get Naraku mad at him; who knew what he would do then.
Naraku chuckled at such fear, "No, not unless you keep questioning my instructions."
"O-okay. Fox fire," Shippo did as he was told, but the attack just vanished, like it was sucked into Naraku's barrier. "Huh, it disappeared?" The edge of the barrier glowed only seconds before the same attack was sent back at him. "Ahh! I thought you said you wouldn't get mad." Shippo leapt out of the way as the fire caught onto a bush directly behind where he was standing.
When the fire extinguished, Naraku spoke, "It is a skill few demons have, of being able to redirect energy attacks." Inuyasha's backlash wave was another such example.
"But, what does that have to do with me?" Shippo cowered behind a tree.
"I will tell you how to make the returned attack harmless," Naraku told him, making him ease out from behind the tree cautiously.
"Oh, how?" the boy was interested again.
"If it is redirected using an incantation, you must recite their incantation back at them, in reverse," Naraku supplied the simple solution.
"But," Shippo thought back, "you did not say anything."
"Precisely," Naraku grinned, "my redirections cannot be nullified so easily." Naraku turned to leave. "You may find this of use sooner than you would expect."
'I just need to speak it in reverse,' Shippo recalled his instructions. 'Stupid Inuyasha will just keep sending attacks and have them sent back, its up to me to save him; I'll get the next one, listen carefully.' Before he could warn them, Kagome stood up to Kaguya and fired her arrow in frustration, 'No, Kagome! I can do this!'
"Om kara kara bishi wak son ka," he listened to Kaguya cast her spell, reciting her chant many times over.
Then flipping the words, Shippo spoke them himself, "Ka son wak bishi kara kara om." He finished just as the arrow struck Kagome in the middle of her back. 'Did I miss, did I not say it in time?' he fretted, tears beginning to roll down his cheeks as he watched helplessly as Kaguya took Kagome's unconscious body with her. She "invited" them to come to her castle to retrieve the girl, only infuriating Inuyasha more.
"Shippo, stop crying already," Inuyasha said harsher than necessary. "We'll get her back, so shut-up already."
"Naraku taught me, how to counter the spell, but I didn't say it in time," he cried, swiping at the water leaking from his eyes.
"You were speaking a spell from Naraku?" Inuyasha growled furiously. "What were you thinking, Shippo? Damn it, we have to go after her."
The arrow only put her to sleep, but as soon as it was removed it became harmless, the wound healed instantly, thanks to Shippo's reverse incantation. So the exact details of the results had not been communicated to the child, but the outcome was still advantageous.
"That act of yours is starting to wear just a little bit thin, I have to say," Kagura goaded Kaguya.
"It's an act? She's not a real celestial being," Kagome whispered to herself.
"Kanna told me. You're just like Naraku; you both consume the flesh of other demons to increase your own strength," Kagura was furious at having been tricked. Here she thought she was to be granted freedom, but she was just being used as a pawn. "I'll wager you even devoured the real celestial maiden to gain immortality. I bet Naraku must have wanted that body of yours."
"I detest all these half-demons," Kaguya sneered.
"Indeed, your hatred of them must truly run deep," Kagura smirked. Kanna told Kagura more than just that. It was a half demon that slew her mate, her original mate, before she devoured the celestial maiden. And Kagura suspected it was Naraku himself that had done so, even if it had not been specified. "Let me remind you, I am a woman born of Naraku, and I'm growing rather tired of your antics." How contradictory that she only associated herself with him when I suited her ends.
"Hmm, you'll confront me then? That shall be entertaining," Kaguya remarked unconcernedly.
"How about I suck the soul out of your body?" at Kagura's suggestion, Kanna did as requested, but it would not work with the robe draped over her as such. One attack later sent the pair into the depths of a time frozen lake. They could not move, but Kanna knew this would only be temporary; she did not struggle as Kagura did.
Inuyasha charged into the castle, just as Kaguya cast her spell to stop time, yet oddly enough, he, and the others, could still move. Miroku discovered that Kagome's possessions could put up a time barrier, and the glowing bandage underneath Inuyasha's clothes, from his earlier loss against Kagura when she stole part of his kimono, protected him from the spell as well. Kaguya pulled her domain into the mirror, evaporating the illusion above. Using the red Tessaiga, Inuyasha opened the path for all of them to follow. Kagome's companions fought valiantly to get to her, providing the perfect distraction, but their assistance would not be needed.
"Such fools, pursuing me inside the mirror," Kaguya derided as she watched the events unfold.
"Why do you want to stop time anyways; what's the big attraction?" Kagome struggled with her binds.
"It seems only humans such as yourself are enamored by the passage of time," she passed observation.
"I'd rather die than stay here in this hellish void," Kagome spit.
"Don't worry, you won't be here long, for I intend to eat you," she got closer, lifting Kagome's chin. "You can put up a 'barrier' against time and have the holy powers of a priestess, those powers will be mine."
'A little closer, closer,' the thoughts were accentuated by a spurt of blood. Kaguya screamed out in pain as she was pierced by an unknown source.
"What, is happening?" Kagome asked no one as she watched. Something just shot out of her amulet, the amulet Naraku gave her, ripping a hole in the front of her shirt only to be followed by more. Was this how it was designed to protect her?
A signature malevolent laugh echoed from the talisman at her chest, a voice she could never mistake, "It's been far too long, Kaguya." The figure continued to pull out of her necklace, until a recognizable form could be seen.
"Naraku," Kagome breathed, a smile in her voice.
"Naraku, I thought you were dead," Kaguya strained to get out, as a spear-like tentacle remained spiked into her flesh. This was not the first time he tried to kill her. Soon after slaying her mate, when she had absorbed the celestial maiden, Naraku became aware of her powers and hunted her down. She had not expected him to be such a threat, not with her newfound abilities, however, had no choice but to seal herself away to escape the threat Naraku posed.
"Correct, I was dead," he continued crawling out of the amulet, coiling his body around Kagome protectively, "just long enough to lure you out." Naraku knew Kaguya would want Kagome, seeing as she too, absorbs others. They both thought similarly and Kagome would be a fine acquisition. If the fox-child had failed to utter the reverse-incantation in time, the amulet would have protected her instead; she was never in any danger. Her getting shot was not expected, but Kaguya taking her captive, much anticipated. It positioned him perfectly; he only had to wait until she drew near. Just like a trapdoor spider. "And now, become one with my flesh."
"Keep your vile hands away from me," Kaguya began chanting, directing her mirror as a flash of light engulfed Naraku.
Kagome felt his body disintegrating around her. When the light dissipated, he was no longer there and Kaguya had regenerated her body. "Naraku, where are you? Are you alright? Naraku!" the amulet still hung at her neck, much smaller, but still there, and pulsed in reassurance. 'I'm glad.'
"Ah, I see, that disgusting half-demon is your mate, is he not? I wondered about that mark you carry. I will let him watch you die," she again intended on making the girl a meal, but Inuyasha and company charged in just in time. Windscar discharged, Hiraikotsu spun, sutra's flew, and Shippo freed Kagome from her binds.
'I will let them do the work for me,' Naraku thought, hiding in the shadows, waiting for his opportunity as Inuyasha kept swinging, eventually sending out a Backlash Wave just as Kagome snagged the celestial robe with Miroku's staff as a makeshift arrow. Without Kaguya's ability to rewind time that the robe granted, the backlash wave tore her apart, leaving only her spirit, a cloud of dark grey smoke.
With the castle falling apart after the massive attack, those inside moved to exit, but were stopped by the cloud of grey smoke. "You, girl with the sacred powers, your body will be mine," Kaguya's spirit snatched Kagome from Kirara's back and dropped her on a beam when she sensed Naraku emerging from the darkness. Naraku could not allow Kagome to be hurt. As much as he wanted Kaguya's powers, his whole purpose was only so he could accompany Kagome to her time. She meant far more to him than gaining power, and crawled up behind her, keeping her secure between parts of himself.
"Naraku, so that's where you were hiding all this time, you bastard," Inuyasha growled. They knew he was here, Inuyasha could smell him and Miroku's wind tunnel had suddenly returned; Naraku being alive was the only possibility.
"Come, Kaguya," he challenged, knowing she now had no way to defend herself from him now. She moved to flee, but before she could, Miroku sucked her into his Wind tunnel. Naraku's plans had been hindered, but perhaps, this would still work; he was still connected to the monk's curse and this may be just enough influence over time for the bone eater's well to allow him passage. He picked up Kagome as his body finally materialized into his human form, whisking her away through the mirror as her companions followed.
Stepping out into the bright clearing, with her in his arms, he was finally able to enjoy a moment of being reunited with his mate. The way she looked at him, eyes so full of affection for him alone, she was worth every second he spent scheming for her. It was a short-lived moment, however, because as soon as her companions joined them, they let him know exactly how they felt about him using them for his latest under-handed maneuver.
"All right, listen up you self-declared evil bastard," Inuyasha got right up in his face.
"I have never called myself evil," Naraku contradicted. "That is a titled the supposed 'victims' attach to their persecutor. You allow the human portion of yourself to take control, Inuyasha, trying to destroy that with you cannot understand."
"That's not the point," Inuyasha snarled, his hands flexing and cracking in threat. "You don't deserve Kagome after hurting her like that! Do you have any idea what you put her through?"
"I was present," he indicated the now shrunken pendant. All that remained of it was a small spider carved from bone, barely an inch across that had latched onto the nearly complete jewel, combining the necklaces into one. It was regrettable, having to keep her unaware of his well-being and not only seeing, but also having felt her sorrow over his supposed loss, but it was essential in convincing Sesshomaru of his death and ensuring her safety.
"You were inside that ugly necklace?" Inuyasha couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"How dare you use us like that," Sango added her input.
"You performed satisfactory, Inuyasha," Naraku smirked. "Now Kagome will be safe from harm."
"What, pray tell, does faking your death have to do with Kagome's safety?" Miroku demanded.
"Naraku, I missed you so much," Kagome interrupted all of their hateful words. "When Sesshomaru said you were dead, I-" She buried her face in his chest, not wanting to let go.
"For any beyond those present, I am dead," Naraku told them, letting it be known his life was to be a tightly kept secret.
"Keh, like I'm going to help you," Inuyasha threatened.
"You will, Inuyasha, for if your brother discovers I am still alive, he will come straight for Kagome's life," Naraku explained, making Inuyasha stumble back at Naraku's reason for such a demand. "Now, will you hold your tongue, or do I remove it for you?"
"You're not so strong as to be able to beat me," Inuyasha barked, moving his hand to his sword on instinct.
"Don't you understand, Inuyasha," Kagome intervened. "Naraku set this plan in motion relying on your strength." This made him be quiet for a bit, taking in the odd compliment. "And you," she turned to Naraku with a scolding tone, "don't you ever do that to me again! I was so worried about you. Promise me, no more faked deaths." The others found it quite amusing to see Naraku get reprimanded by their intense friend.
"There is not a power on this earth that could compel me to leave your side," he pulled her flush to him, a sinfully wicked grin painting his face. "Shall I prove it to you?" Her face went a bright red, she was still not used to him being so open in front of her friends; it may have been ever so tempting, but it was also embarrassing.
"Not this again," Inuyasha groaned out and turned away.
"My dear Sango," Miroku used the opportunity to fuel his lecherous mind, "perhaps we should follow suit and-"
"Pervert!" his suggestion was met with a hard slap. At least things were back to relative normalcy.
(A/N: I would highly suggest watching Inuyasha the movie #2: The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass with this chapter. I skimmed over many parts and this chapter was still twice the length of my normal ones. I hope I kept things clear enough, but any questions I can clarify via reviews or PM's, and I'll edit the chapter if necessary.
In regards to the part with Sesshomaru, with his hunt for Naraku now completed, including making sure that there would be no children from Naraku, Sesshomaru now has no reason to be in the area and returns to his lands. He will play a large role later, but for the next several chapters at least, he is just doing as he always has, patrolling with Rin, Jaken, and Ah-Un. A background presence.)
