Kikyo walked up to Naraku's lovely establishment, her eyes moving along the buildings layout as she continued forward. The soul collectors floating about her twirling and dipping down in the air near her before she waved her hand to them to leave her. They did as they were told and flew off. Placing her hands to the entrance doors, Kikyo pushed inward and the wood gave way, allowing her to pass through. She had another jewel shard, she was more then sure Naraku would take pleasure in its being given to him. That half demon was becoming somewhat more of a nuisance to her, not that he wasnt ever. Reaching a hand up, she pulled back some of her hair and glanced about the court yard. It didn't seem he was here. Kikyo was usually capable of sensing him around though this time it didn't seem to be the case. "What a bother..." She muttered. Clutching the jewel shard that was in her left hand tightly, Kikyo closed her eyes a moment. Her frustration levels have been on the fritz as of late.
It was becoming irritating and that surely didn't help matters. With a sigh, she reopened her eyes, taking a last look around before she settled on finding one of Naraku's "children". God knows she would tolerate even Kagura's attitude by this point. It was such a conflicting matter. What her life has become was to end another. What her life used to be, now just a jumbled knot that would never be undone unless cut off completely. Kikyo chuckled bitterly to herself as she turned a corner, coming to the master bedroom of the castle. She needed Naraku to obtain the whole jewel, after that, everything will end, she would make sure of that. Sliding the door to the side, she scanned the room for a sign of life. There was none. Stepping inside, she placed the jewel shard on a near by pillow. "Where is he I wonder." She muttered to herself before leaving the room. She stood in the hallway, her eyes cast down at the floor as she took a deep sigh. Where should she go now?

{OOC: Kikyo so you do not get too confused this character im using is for the site and made up. Here he is the missing elder brother of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. His name is Tashamaru and if you browse through approved characters you will find his prof}
"Kikyo is it?'' A set of orange eyes appeared infront of her and after a moment of watching the priestess a tall muscular dog demon walked forward. He stood before the priestess gazing down at her with a frown. He knew this was the priestess his little brother Inuyasha had known and loved.He gave a bow of his head before stepping back using one hand he moved a silver bang from his face.
'' I Am Lord Tashamaru,It's a Honor to meet the human who fell for my brother Inuyasha." Tashamaru now leaned back a bit against the wall wondering what the priestess would say."May i ask what you are doing in Naraku's castle?'' he smiled which wasnt a good thing.

Other then the fact that she wasn't prepared for the sudden presence and the fact that she didn't even sense him beforehand, Kikyo was pretty angry at herself for letting her body jerk suddenly when her eyes came in contact with another orange pair. Mentally scolding herself for allowing her body to push herself more against the wall behind her to the point that her hands were flat on its surface. Though despite her bodily actions, her face remained calm. It didn't seem there was a need for formal introductions. She tore her gaze from the demon, thoughts racing in her mind of an older brother named Tashamaru. As far as she knew, there was no other brother other then Sesshomaru. Glancing back at the demon, she allowed her face to show a hint of question. "Inuyasha has never spoken of you. Though I suppose it's an honor to meet you as well."
Kikyo's body relaxed somewhat, her hands now set to her sides and her body no longer pressed up against the wall. She took a mental picture of Tashamaru, keeping it in the back of her mind for future reference. She must have been growing weak, it was the early warning signs of weakness when she couldn't sense a demon around. She may be just a body of clay and dirt, but her abilities of when she was alive carried on through to this life. "It seems unfair to simply answer your question, seeing as you yourself stand here just like I do." Was her response to his question. There was no need to answer such questions unless she herself got answers.

"Inuyasha has only met me once and that was way back when he was a newborn pup." Tashamaru answered with a small nod of his head as he looked up toward the celling sensing various demons were nearby and alert to the priestesses presence. His gaze fell back on Kikyo as she questioned him about why he was in this castle."You know." He pushed off the wall using a free hand he than placed it on the wall near Kikyo's heading leaning in a bit closer until he was face to face with her.
"I've got acess to this castle you could say i share a connection with Naraku." Tashamaru stated with a smirk as he continued to stare into her eyes lightly sniffing the air he grimmaced at the smell which was one of dirt something else.He than sensed this priestess was growing weaker."You have no reason to be here without your soul collectors." He stated with a wink.

Kikyo stood her ground, her eyes locked in Tashamaru's gaze as he drew closer, her eyes only leaving his for a split second to glance at the positioning of his hand on the wall. Seemed Naraku was making friends with the right people. She held in a laugh at his attempts to secure himself. That Naraku truly knew no bounds. She noted the grimace. She got that a lot. No matter what she did she always had the scent of dirt and clay, the only thing on her body she was able to manage to have smell like something different was her hair but not even that helped much. With a slight shake of her head, she moved herself away from the wall, closing in on most of the space between her and Tashamaru, clearly invading any personal space rules. "I have my reasons why I keep them outside this place." Her voice was stern, this demon was riding her nerves, and she only got this unstable when she knew she was growing weaker. The bad part about it is, no matter how irritated she grew to be, if Tashamaru decided to rip her apart this very second, she wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Keeping the closeness for just a moment longer, Kikyo's eyes cast downward to avoid the eye contact for a split second until she stepped to the side. Crossing her arms loosely over her chest, the sleeves of the shirt sliding down her arms to fold up at the elbows, she glanced out the window at the end of the hall to view outside. There were lesser demons gathering about. Narrowing her eyes she once again mentally scolded herself. It was rare for her to ever get to this point, especially lately, she's been so careful. "Though it seems I would have a need for them soon as I'm sure you can tell."

Tashamaru gave her an irritated glare after a moment of glancing out the window toward the various demons that gathered about he knew they were ready to attack Kikyo."Keep behind me and you'll be safe." He commanded for the moment as he walked forward and toward the door,sliding it open with one hand he than swiftly drew both of his large swords which transformed together into a bigger sword.He held his sword known as Gorefang in one hand rushing forward with unhuman speed he than sliced demon in half with his sword while slashing them with his free hand.
Tashamaru swiftly turned on a demon that was heading toward Kikyo,raising the sword above his head he than smiled as a red aurora circled it."BLOOD SCAR." The attack blasted forward killing several demons including the one after Kikyo.

Kikyo's eyes followed Tashamaru as he readied his weapon, moved to the door and the next thing she knew he was out hacking away at the demons. Uncrossing her arms, she ran over to the door, glancing about for a moment before actually jogging out of the building. She wasn't taken totally aback by the demon about to attack, she was already ready to use her miko powers if needed though the red energy that hit it and instantly killed it had her cover her head with both arms. The momentum of the attack sending a gust of wind to uplift her hair for a moment before she was able to regain herself and continue forward. It was strange feeling, almost nostalgic, to have to rely on a demon to protect her through something. She was sure that it didn't help that Tashamaru had a resemblance to his younger brother and that if Kikyo were to actually think on it, she needed to stop having any sort of relations to this certain family of dog demons. No matter how dysfunctional. They didn't really have a good history when it came to humans getting involved in the family.
As she continued to run, she finally made it to the entrance doors, pulling on them to open them completely. She didn't escape yet though. One of the demons had come to make a nice treat out of her arm. She took a sharp intake of air, managing to pull her arm away just in time, though with the demon so close she slammed her palm into its forhead, a blue glow emitting from her hand just a moment before it engulfed the demon. It whipped around, its screeches full of pain until its body disintegrated under her hand and she was left with a light residue of demonic ash on her palm. Disgusted with it, she shook her head and glanced back at Tashamaru. "Come on!" She called before turning on her heel and running out the entrance doors.

Tashamaru was running right behind her killing any demon that came to close to his newly aquired friend. He stepped infront of Kikyo after a moment he used his free hand to grab the sleeve of her shirt, holding onto her. He whispered a few words under his breath as his sword once again glistened with a more powerful red arurora which soon formed into a barrier killing any demon that tried to hit it."You need a demon repel or something." He chuckled lowly at his joke but quickly glanced away knowing once that Kagome had brought bug repel from her time for him.
Tashamaru stopped near the gates canceling out his barrie he than swung the sword around using his free arm as a sheild. He inhaled deeply as several medium sized demons latched onto his arm ripping chunks of flesh off. He dropped his sword using his hand he than sliced the demons into pieces,before grabbing his sword and stepping back.

Kikyo eyed Tashamaru questionably. He was going out of his way to protect a former priestess that he barely knew. Watching as the demons tore into his flesh, she reached behind her out of reflex for one of her arrows only to come up empty handed. She had left her bow and arrows back in the forest nearby. With a frustrated grunt, she grabbed the arm Tashamaru was holding her with, tugging at it as much as she could though with her weak state and the fact that he was a demon, she did nothing but give a weak attempt at pulling him along. She found it ironic how he could crack jokes in a middle of a situation such as this one, even though now he was injured and she herself was weak. She was lucky that whatever was acting as adreniline for her body was keeping her going for right now. "We get out of here or we die. Let's go."
She found that she could no longer raise her own voice. All energy left in her body was going to the instinct of survival. The most she could manage was a stern commanding tone as she once again began to pull at Tashamaru's arm. Once Kikyo left the area around Naraku's castle, these demons will no longer follow. If she runs, they would leave.

Tashamaru slid both swords into their sheaths after a moment he felt Kikyo pulling on the sleeve of his kimono trying to drag him along."I Should be doing the dragging not you in your state." He stated with a harsh growl after a moment he bent down as Kikyo climbed onto his back.He lunged forward using one arm to hold onto her,he used the others to slash demons in half."Poisen Reaver." Shap poisenus blades shot from his claws killing the last few demons. He stopped inside the forest sitting Kikyo down for the time he than took a step back folding his arms.
Tashamaru glanced around every few minutes wondering if any demons would follow after him. He took a look around observing the trees and area."Are you alright?'' he questioned her after a moment.

Everything was a blur at this point in time. Everything a mixture of colors with a few lines to keep everything differentiated. When she was set down, she collasped to her knees, breathing hard as though she were the one running. Her breaths came out shaky as she then began to rub her hand against the grass, ridding herself of that demons ash. It was then that the soul collectors emerged from the trees, carrying glowing balls of light that were souls. As they passed her they dropped the human souls on to her body, her body obsorbing them instantly as she sat on the grass. This was a process she wished others would not see. Surely the sight of her taking others souls being a very disgusting event. Especially if the one watching was somone who mattered. Such as Inuyasha, though his brother was just as bad and she wished she had the strength to just run.
Tashamaru's question had her chuckle bitterly. She shook her head and closed her eyes, making sure her face was looking downward to avoid any eye contact. This is what pride did to you. When showing weakness, she grew angry with herself. "I'm fine, and your arm?" She asked, opening her eyes but making no move to look at the demon. Soul collectors floated around her, some dropping souls, others just lingering about her face, looking at her as though they wanted attention from her. She simply moved them aside with the back of her hand.

"Every time i look at you i see Inuyasha." Tashamaru merely gave a light chuckle that sounded cold. He looked to his arm which slowly would heal over night."Unlike humans i can stand any sort of wound." He stated with a cold bitter voice before sitting down on the ground next to her.He sniffed the air once more sensing an angry aurora coming from the priestess."No need to be such a bitter wench,don't get angry with yourself either." He stated as he layed a hand on her shoulder.
Tashamaru than pulled his hand away before glancing around wandering if he should say anything else.''I Wasnt going to leave you back there even if you didnt need my help,as a demon Lord it was my duty." He wasnt really a demon lord yet but liked saying he was more some people mistook him for the General.

She only bothered to look at Tashamaru when he came to sit himself next to her. Her eyes narrowing at his comment of her being a bitter wench. She would have slapped his arm away had it not been for the fact that he took it away himself. As Kikyo's strength returned, the soul collecters ceased to drop the souls on to her body. The creatures now floating about the area, some still trying to grab her attention by floating around her face. She glared at the few who tried and the collectors drifted away. Kikyo was a bitter wench, only times she seemed to return to her normal self was with Inuyasha, or when she was helping villagers regain their strength. She was tricked all those years ago, thinking for the longest time that she had been betrayed by the only man she loved, when in reality it was some envious evil human whom destroyed her life. Resulting in Inuyasha's seal and her death.
"I have every need to be bitter and your duty has gotten you injured, whether you can handle it or not." She stated, her eyes still narrowed and now her fists clenched. Pushing off the ground, she stood up upbruptly and sighed deeply. This whole trip was to simply give Naraku the jewel shard and it now ended up becoming more of a hassle then was needed. "I appreciate your help. Though I won't be needing it any longer." This was her way of distancing herself from others. Always trying to minimize contact with both demon and human alike. Especially this demon. An older brother of Inuyasha's. God knows what Tashamaru would tell Inuyasha if he ever came in contact with him again. Kikyo did not need for Inuyasha to know of this, of her weakened instances.

Tashamaru made a swift movement stepping infront of Kikyo he than watched her with a smirk."Do you know what territory we are in? Bat demons and their leader Sur Fang wouldnt appreciate you being in his lands." He stated with a growl as he lightly pushed her to the tree for the moment."Beside Two bitter people demon and human would make a good couple." He chuckled for the moment as he moved his face toward hers."Beside i dont bite much." He brushed a fang acrost her lip.

Kikyo glared up at Tashamaru when he moved in front of her. His smirk something she wished she could just slap off his face. She could care less what territory she was in. Her bow and arrows were not far from here and she simply needed to attain them before anything else happened. She was taken aback when he pushed her to the tree, now on the defensive as she kept her eye on the demon. She gave him the most confused look then, as he mentioned their coupling and she pressed herself up against the tree to create some sort of distance. Though apparently it wasnt enough distance as he leaned over and brushed a fang against her lip. Taken by surprise, she put her hands to his chest and pushed, not that she expected to even budge him, but the signal should have proved her point across. "I prefer if you don't bite at all." she said, taking her lower lip into her mouth, her tongue tracing where his fang brushed, making sure no cut was made.
It was a wonder why a demon like him would be interested in an undead priestess like her and of course he had to be related to Inuyasha. Letting her lip go from her mouth, she glanced around. The soul collectors floated in mid air, staying stationary and keeping their eyes on the two. It seemed they were taking the defensive as well. "and what a demon like you wants with me is very questionable. Seeing as you are of very few who doesn't seem to wish me harm." She said, relaxing her arms on his chest so that she was no longer pushing but keeping her hands there just in case.
