Deal With the Devil by Renecia

Prologue

A/N: Okay, so I have no idea where I'm going with this. This whole story just came to me randomly while I was doing homework. So, I don't even know if it's any good or not. Please rate and comment on how I did. -~R.A

Kagome

"So, you've finally found me." said Naraku, while his jet black curly hair slowly unfolded from his seated position to fall past his thighs. He moved slowly knowing that if he made the wrong move every single one of us wouldn't hesitate to put him down.

"It seems as if I'm outnumbered as well." he continued, smirking evily.

"Yeah, so shut it and tell me where she is!"InuYasha said scowling as he walked up towards Nararku with a bloody Tetsuiga drawn and pointed at his throat.. But, the only answer he got was Naraku's cruel chuckle as he put his hands behind his head surrendering.

"Ka-go-me, is it?" Naraku asked pronouncing my name with each syllable. "Don't tell me that you're letting him search for her when you already know." he said now laughing as if he knew the most funniest thing in the world has occured. But, it wasn't funny at all. This wasn't apart of the deal. He's basically ratting me out, but it's not as bad as it seems. Let me do a little bit of explaining so that you're up to speed. So...pause.

Flashback

"Ah, the weather feels so nice today. The sun isn't as bright and the wind isn't blowing too hard. I can smell the salty freshness of some water near by as well, perhaps it's pond." I stated as we walked down the pathway to the next village.

"Oh, so now the miko is a demon today." huffed InuYasha with his hands stuffed inside his hakama as he walked barefoot ahead of me. I heard Shippou silently chuckle on my shoulder at his comment, and I couldn't help but smile.

"Was I right?" I asked Shippou, laughing as well. He nodded his head eagerly at me. I already knew what that meant, as I smiled wildly. "Well, then lets stop for the day. The sun will be setting soon, and I could use a fresh bath. I could..."

"No! You're always thinking we should stop so early just for your stupid baths." InuYasha interrupted me, while stomping even further ahead.
"I was also going to say I brought more noodles with me, so we can make enough for seconds, InuYasha" I said with a huff, and closed my eyes while continuing to walk.

Not even a few seconds later I felt myself walk into something hard like a wall. But, I knew that was nearly impossible given the era I'm in, unless I was dumb enough to walk into a tree again. I opened my eyes, and saw the front of a bright red hakama. I slowly looked up and saw the piercing golden eyes of the half-demon I've grown to love over the years.

"InuYasha, why'd you stop?" I asked with a smirk.

"Hurry up and take your stupid bath and make my food wench!" he growled while pointing towards the direction of the water I smelled. Thank the gods above! He's succumbed to his greediness as always and we finally get a break.

"Yes sir, Mr. Grumpy, sir!" I said, fake saluting him while laughing. "Are you coming, Sango?" I asked while quickly grabbing my things without looking up at her.

"No thank you, Kagome. Miroku and I will just search for some meat to cook while you bathe. You relax yourself for the time being." she smiled while grabbing Miroku by the arm and seemingly dragging him further ahead of the pathway before disappearing in the forest.

     I sighed heavily, while ordering InuYasha to watch Shippou while I walked away towards the direction of the pond InuYasha pointed me to earlier with a frown on my face. I couldn't help but be happy towards the woman I call my sister, but then again I can't help but feel a little resentment towards her. She's experiencing her first love without anyone coming in between them. Meanwhile, I've been in love with InuYasha since I was fifteen years old fighting for his affections with a dead woman I let borrowm half of my own soul. Now here I am twenty years old and still fighting for his affections like the little school girl I used to be.But, I suppose some good came out of all those years. I actually graduated on time with the rest of my classmates despite the many days I was "sick", when in reality I was out traveling down the old Bone Eaters Well fighting demons that were supposed to be extinct in my time, and trying to put the pieces back together to the Shikon Jewel, and then losing them all once again towards that evil sick being, called Naraku. Speaking of which, we've recently heard that there was a witch hiding his location. All we have to do now is look for this witch that goes by, Nikome. Miroku said that he'd once heard of a witch named Nikome that was cast out of her village because of adultery. Funny how he knew that seeing how he's the mose perverted being I've met.

     I walked deeper into the forest until the salty scent of the water ran deep into my lungs, leading me towards the opening of the pond, and my was it a sight. The pond was a huge oval in shape in the middle of a clearing. There were various different types of flowers surrounding the pond, with even a few herbs seperating the flowers every now and then. As I set my toiletres down I quickly noticed that there were apples dangling from the trees almost falling from the stem with the passing wind. I smiled thinking about grabbing one while I bathe. I bent over untying my black and white Nike running shoes, and set them to the side while folding my purple socks together and setting them inside of my left shoe. Standing back up I let my bare feet play with the unkept grass as I took off the all black pull over sweater I had on, exposing my dark blue sports bra. I rolled down my Nike black tights with a purple stripe down the inside of my thighs, and folded them and my sweater, and placed them next to my shoes. I pulled of the sports bra letting my nipples be exposed to the wind. I then took off my dark blue lace panties, letting the wind run between my thighs causing me to shiver in a little bit of excitement.

     I quickly folded my under garments, and dipped my purple clad toes inside of the cool pond. Even though it was hot out today, the water of the pond was a bit chilly causing my nipples to harden even more than they already are with the metal bar that runs through them. I thought back to when I had first gotten them pierced, I was eighteen and was desperately trying to get InuYasha's attention. So, I thought that maybe being a little provocative I'd win him over. But, boy was I wrong. I'd endured the seering pain of four piercings for nothing more than his beautiful golden eyes piercing into my soul angrily, and his lips that I so desperately wanted to kiss turned up into a frown calling me every whore he could think of, and the hands that I wanted to caress my soft skin as we both explored each others bodies found the side of my face harshly. I was so upset with him that I didn't even come back to that era for three weeks. I would have taken the thick metal bars out, but I spent my hard-earned money on them and I wasn't about to let them go to waste. However, over the time I let them heal I've grown to love the little things. They've made my nights fantasizing about what I'd never have even more enjoyable.

     Thinking about some of the quick fantasies I've had of InuYasha finally accepting my love. Finally understanding that I can offer him much more than what a body made of mud and clay could. I pull my hands up towards my the bars on both nipples wishing that my hands were InuYasha's and gave them both a gentle tug causing me to deeply inhale the orange tulips that were resting behind me. I slowly moved...no InuYasha slowly moved one of his hands across my breasts and then moved it down to my slim stomach passing over the silver and blue crescent moon that dangled from my belly button piercing. I watched in my fantasy as he drifted his hand travel towards my smooth pearl and then further down caressing my smooth lips. I shivered in pleasure as I felt the liquid that I'd grown used to gently glide in between my thighs and disappearing into the pond. I let my right hand flicker my swollen bud imagining that InuYasha's hands caressing my body were now his lips flicking my pearl with tongue .I rub my left breast up and down letting the palm of my hand twist my piercing causing a pain and pleasure effect. I let out a small moan as I feel myself almost reaching that familiar peak. As my wave was about to crash over I heard the sound of a twig breaking ahead of me.

I quickly end my fantasy and reach for my bow, just as I was turned around reaching for an arrow..."There's no need to stop because of me, little miko." I heard a deep voice from behind me.

I turn around wielding my the bow and arrow towards my intruder. "Why are you here?" I said glaring at the blood red eyes. How did I not sense his aura?

"Well, word has spread that you and you're little tag team were looking for me." he stated as if it was the most simplest thing in the world, while he stepped out from his hiding place that was behind the tree I thought of getting an apple from.

"So, you decide to come here while I'm bathing." I asked letting a little of my miko powers ease into the tip of the arrow. I was going to make this arrow be his ending.

The intruder only chuckled with a with amusement. "We both know that you weren't bathing, little miko."

"It's Kagome, not little miko." I said letting the powers I let seep into the arrow flare a little.

"Yes, Ka-go-me, I've intruded on your 'bathing' to propose a deal with you." he said while walking up closer towards the end of the oval shaped pond opposite of me. "I've grown quite bored of this war, and with your unique influences of course we could both end it and move on blah, blah, blah." he said waving his hand around as if it was boring him just to bring up the battle.

"What makes you think I'd help the likes of you?" I asked curiously. Why would he come to me? Surely he knows that he's part of the reason why I can't have the man that I'm in love with. So, why come to me?

"I do believe this deal would benefit us both." he said while the end of arrow followed him as circled the pond towards my end. "You wish to be rid of a certain miko, and I wish to be rid of a certain hanyou." Fully clothed the intruder walked inside of the pond to be directly in front of me, and I pulled my arrow back even further with the string of my bow pressed hard against my cheek. I'd be damned if I were to allow him to try any funny business while I was stark naked within this pond.

"Again, what makes you think I'd help the likes of you?" I ask again flaring my aura a little bit more. I only recieved a cold chuckle as he pushed the tip of my arrow that was grazing his left peck where his heart was out of the way.

"Don't you want to be free?" he asked circling my naked body within the pond.

"Free of the constant heartbreak you endure as you watch him run to her cold clay body for a release you know you could give him? Free of the constant snide remarks of everyone comparing you to her? You'd finally be able to prove yourself. You'd finally be able to make everyone see that you two are different." he said as he ran a shard clawed hand across my bare stomach.

" You'd be able to show everyone that you're better than her, but most importantly show him that you're better than her. You can make him forget those cold, dry lips that he runs to go kiss..." he was now standing in front of me tracing my plump lips with his sharp claws." ...make him forget those cold hard breasts that he caresses..." he was now standing behind me caressing my plump breasts and playing with the metal bar between my nipples." Show him that your breasts are soft and full. Make him lust over your sensitive nipples make him forget that achingly dry pussy that he struggles to drive his dick inside..." I let out a moan as I felt his lips on my neck slowly lapping at my gentle spot on my neck as his fingers slowly entering me. "...isn't that something that you'd want, miko, to be set free?" he asks as I moan again grinding myself against his fingers. My bow and arrow since long forgotten I gripped the back of my intruders head as I rocked myself against him trying to bring myself to reach my peak. I hear him chuckle against my neck. "Don't you want to help end both of our suffering, little miko?" he asked pushing his fingers deeper inside of me causing my back to arch even farther. I let out a silent scream as I feel those wonderful waves crashing harder than it was going to before. As I ride out my orgasm with his fingers still inside of me and my cum slowly dripping down his hand.

"So, do we have a deal little miko?" he asks as I slowly pull his fingers out of me and turns to walk in front of me licking my dripping cum off of his long fingers.

"Depends," I say simply. "I don't wish to kill him, Naraku."

"I'm not asking you to. Just kill Kikyou, at the moment she's the root of all my problems, and the root of yours. All I need for you to do is to give InuYasha this potion when she's nearby, so that he won't feel the urge to go to her, and I'd simply do the rest. You won't even need to kill the woman that your precious hanyou loves." he said while slipping a little vile holding a blue-green liquid inside of my sack. "I know you'll make the right choice, and of course the hanyou and neither of his companions would have to know of this."

"But, how is getting rid of the Kikyou going to end the war exactly?"

"It doesn't. Me giving you the location of Nikome will end the war."

"Why give me the location of Nikome, when you can just tell me where you're hiding yourself?"

"Because what's the fun in that." he laughs while getting out of the pond soaking wet, and if I'm not mistaken, he was spotting a huge hard on as well.

"Then where is she?"

"She's residing in a village near that retched wolf prince. He's probably heard of her, she isn't known for respectable things these days." he says while walking towards the forest." Oh, and another thing before I leave. Talk that hanyou of yours into not killing me, hold me prisoner if you will. Just do not kill me." he whispers through the wind while finally disappearing.

     Still looking at the spot that he disappeared in not believing what I've put myself through yet again. This could only lead to more trouble than I can handle. Allowing myself to strike a deal with none other than Naraku himself, just to get what I have finally been craving for for so long. To finally have InuYasha all to myself. Surely he'd understand, like Naraku said, and all I have to do is give InuYasha that blue-ish liquid that will make him not want Kikyou when she comes to seduce him again. It doesn't seem as bad as it sounds, I try convincing myself. I pull out a bar of soap and quickly wash away any evidence that Naraku anywhere near me. Once I finished I rushed to get out of the pond and pushed myself to dress even faster than the times I was running late for school.

     Fully dressed I practically ran back to the camp causing everyone at camp to look at me confused. I blushed and said a quick sorry and began to hurry with the dinner I promised. But, the entire time I was making it my eyes kept drifting towards that little vile with the blue liquid. Could I really do this? I asked myself. Would I really be able to participate in the death of the woman I've hated since I was fifteen? Could I really be that evil to be apart of death just to get the man I loved? Yes, I thought. Yes I could be apart of her death. Surely InuYasha would understand that I only did this because I love him. He was my best friend so of course he'd understand. I'm doing this for him, for us. There could never be a future for us if she stayed. She would never be able to provide any kids for him, but I could. She won't be able to provide him with a warm body at night when the full moon hits and he's completely human again, but I could. Lastly, she would never be able to provide with a heart purely dedicated to loving him, but once again I could. She doesn't even have a heart. She's made up of soley mud and clay.

    So, as the hours passed by since Naraku gave me that vile the more and more I knew that I could do what needed to be done to ensure the future I'd thought up of InuYasha and I's future. Once the sky darkened signaling the end of the day, and I'd just finished seasoning the rest of the food and was about to pass it around. Further in the distance I saw a single soul collector floating about. I knew what that meant. I looked towards InuYasha that had his eyes closed resting. I looked towards the others to see what they were doing and saw how Sango and Miroku were engaged in a staring contest, and Shippou was near some bushes playing with a butterfly. I quickly reached inside my sack to retrieve that little vile that would cease all of my problems, and poured the contents into the bright red bowl that I'd made InuYasha's and set it to the side while I fixed everyone else's dinner.

"Alright dinner is ready." I tried to say cheerfully.

     I watched as they all rushed to retrieve there bowls and I made sure that InuYasha got the bright red bowl with the secret contents, as I saw a few more soul collectors fly about the sky but a little closer. This is all for the greater good of us, I tried to convince myself in my mind. Just finish of your food and then we can finally be together. We can finally live the life that we deserve, happy. No more fighting for your affections. No more listening to you brag about her, or comparing me to her. You can finally see me for me.

"Are you alright?" Sango asked me as she grabbed her bowl.

"Of course, why wouldn't I be?" I replied blinking out of my thoughts.

"You're sweating as if you were working in the fields." she replied back with a smile. I looked down at my hands. She was right I was sweating bullets because I was so nervous. I was even shaking a little.

"I'm fine , Sango." I say watching as InuYasha take the first bite out of his food.

"Are you going to eat?" I hear Shippou ask.

"No, I had a few apples while bathing." I lied. When in truth, betraying my best friend and first love ruined my appetite. I no longer wanted to eat, I was so nervous that he wouldn't understand my reason for doing what I did. I was so scared that he would hate me. But, he just couldn't hate me. No matter how many times we argued we always forgave each other. I wanted to believe so badly that he just could't hate me.

"I think I'll go to bed early tonight." I say as pull out my pillow and thick quilt I bought from one of the villages we passed by. I needed to clear my head. As I layed down I watched as InuYasha finally finished the rest of the noodles and deer. I watched as he blinked a few times as if sensing that something was wrong, and then slowly drag himself to the branch of a tree and dose off.

That's it? I think. No screaming. No uncontrollable growling from the half-demon. Just a little drowsy affect that made him not even notice the soul collectors that were now practically flying above our camp? Hell even Sango commented on how they were just floating aimlessly about camp now. Maybe he truly will understand, then I think. Maybe I won't have to even have that dreaded conversation with him on how I plotted against him to kill Kikyou for the good of the war. Maybe everything won't blow up in my face since I struck a deal with the devil himself, Naraku, I think as I feel myself drift off to sleep as a piece of my soul slowly returns to me.

End Flashback

"What is he talking about, Kagome?" InuYasha asks with a glare in watered golded orbs, and that permanent scowl on his face. Why ask me something you don't want to know the truth to? You know already. I think. "Tell me!" he practically yells with Tetsuiga pressed even harder at Naraku's throat.

"Sh-She's dead, InuYasha." I whisper letting a tear roll down my cheek. Please don't ask me when did I know, I plead in my head.

"How long have you known?" Sango asks. Why is this happening to me? I aske the gods. Why?! I don't even want to tell the woman who I've thought of as my own sister. I'm pretty sure she'd hate me to. 

"She's been dead for a few months now. Since we found Nikome in Kouga's village." I say now dropping my bow and arrow in defeat. This shouldn't be a big deal, but Inuyasha has been pushing us day and night to look for long dead miko, ever since I slipped him that potion.

     InuYasha stalked towards me with Tetsuiga now pointed towards my throat, ready to give me a deadly blow. "So, this whole time you've known? Why hide it? What else did you do?" he asks plainly. Shit. Shit. Shit. I knew this whole thing was going to blow up in my face. I gazed at his eyes already seeing hatred building up towards me. He's never going to forgive me and he's already beginning to hate me as the seconds tick by without me telling him of the truth.

"I...I...um.."

"Spit it out!" yells while slapping my left cheek causing my head to instantly snapping to the right. I instantly feel a metallic taste in my mouth realising I that I'd bitten my tongue.

"I...I drugged you so that she could be taken by Naraku." I stuttered out. I instantly felt another slap towards my right cheek, as I heard Sango let out a horrified gasp. Yes, sister, I was capable of doing something so horrid. I look up at her with tears in my eyes blurring my vision. I blink a little to see tears flowing freely down her mask. Miroku wasn't even looking towards InuYasha and I, his eyes were soley focused on Naraku. Sesshoumaru who even helped us during this final battle was looking my way with his own personal glare. I hear InuYasha take a deep breath as if he was trying to lose control of the situation. I was too scared to look up at him again. I know that dog demons were very big on body language, and I was trying desperately to show that I surrendered. My head was still down facing my feet when he slapped me, my hands were now behind my back ensuring him that I won't fight back, and weapons were already dropped on the ground since he first hit me.

"Tsk. Tsk.Tsk. Don't forget how you let me pleasure you, my little miko." Naraku said with a cruel chuckle once more. This must've been highly amusing to him. Is this what he does for fun. Torture people emotionally, not just physically.

     I closed my eyes knowing that another one of InuYasha's blows were coming soon, but instead I heard a loud thump indicating he'd hit someone else. I open my eyes to see he'd hit Naraku with the hilt of his sword, and was now looking at me with eyes of pure hatred. Now there was no way I'd be redeeming myself. I just knew it, as I felt something hard hit the back of my head. I tumbled over the falling head first to the hard wooden floors. I'm sorry, InuYasha I only did it for us, I thought as I closed my eyes once again letting the darkness take over.
