Once again, Kagome was going back home from the Feudal Era, another fight ending in her leaving. Her feet hit the bottom of the well and she sighed, glad to be away from Inuyasha, but when she looked up something was wrong. Instead of the shabby inside to the Bone Eater's Well shrine, Kagome sees blue sky with clouds floating along. The well hadn't taken her home; she was still in the Feudal Era.
Then something was lifting her up from the well and she looked up to see a man. She knew he was a demon without a doubt, but didn't understand what he wanted. The man smiled and set her on her feet. "No doubt, you realized what I am when I used my power. I am, Marunikotzu, and have been admiring you from afar. I have never seen such a great priestess with amazing power and unique style. I've come to make a proposition for you." he smiled. Kagome shifted uncomfortable in front of her new admirer.
"What is it? I am busy at the moment." Kagome eyed Marunikotzu. Before he could answer, Inuyasha appeared in the clearing, surprise clear on his face. "Kagome, I thought you left. Who is this demon that reeks of blood?" Inuyasha demanded scowling. "I tried, but something is wrong with the well. Marunikotzu, helped me out, he just introduced himself and he is very straight forward." She explained as her eyes set on him. "Ah yes, the half-demon that is always with the priestess, what a time for you to come. I was just making a proposition to the girl, Kagome." Marunikotzu put his hand on her shoulder turning to meet Inuyasha's angered expression.
Inuyasha growled baring his teeth at Marunikotzu "A proposition about?" "I assure you that she will accept and it is nothing that you could help with. I want her to be my bride and in return I'll not kill her friends or another human for that matter. Now be gone, half-breed!" Marunikotzu kissed Kagome's cheek and Inuyasha pulled out Tetsaiga. "Don't touch her again or I'll kill you on the spot!" Inuyasha snarled. Marunikotzu laughed putting a clawed finger near her throat "Try anything, though I'd hate to do it, I'll kill her." Kagome stood frozen in fear and Inuyasha wavered at Marunikotzu's words. Inuyasha sheathed his Tetsaiga and watched Marunikotzu's every move.
The others had arrived at this time and stared confused at the demon before them. Miroku began to take the beads off his hand and Marunikotzu pressed his claw closer to her neck. "I already told you I'd kill her, monk. I know about all of your tricks and attacks." Marunikotzu smiled and turned back to Kagome. "Priestess Kagome, come if you want your friends to live." He grinned darkly. She wasn't concentrating on his face, but the hand that had been close to her neck with a jewel shard under the skin. "Inuyasha, go ahead and attack him. He has a jewel shard in his right hand." Kagome pointed out. "Kagome, I won't risk killing you." Inuyasha refused. Marunikotzu laughed "Inuyasha is such a loyal dog. You couldn't harm your own priestess even if it meant your victory. It's time to go."
Kagome was momentarily knocked off guard when Marunikotzu picked her up in his arms. She began to try to get free, but his strength was too great. Marunikotzu began to walk away from the clearing. "Kagome's being taken, do something, Inuyasha! What are you just standing there for?" Shippo kept hitting Inuyasha's head. "Ignore them my sweet priestess, soon your power will be mine. Stealing you away was too easy!" Marunikotzu exclaimed in victory. Kagome felt his claws dig into her skin and let out a blood curdling scream. "KAGOME!" she heard Inuyasha call out in the distance with horror before she passed out.
