Chapter 1

"Inuyasha!" Kagome said, while raising a fist. "Wait Kagome, what did I do wrong?" Inuyasha replied with a fear in his voice. "SIT BOY!" Inuyasha crashed to the ground as Kagome said the sacred words. "You're so gonna pay for this, Kagome!" Inuyasha said while trying to get up. But she wouldn't let him, as she said the sacred words over and over again. "SIT BOY! SIT BOY! SIT BOY! SIT BOY! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!... SIT BOY!" Everyone around those two stared at them shocked. "Did we ever see her this angry?" Miroku whispered to Sango in fear of the annoyed Kagome.

Kagome sent Miroku a cold glare and shouted, "I'M NOT ANGRY AT ALL!" Then she turned around and walked off into the forest of Inuyasha. She heard him calling after her what the reason for all of this was, but she completely ignored him.

I don't believe it! This Inuyasha really is insensitive. I went through all the trouble to prepare this hand-made sushi of mine. How could he just say that those instant noodles are better than my sushi? Why did he even eat so much of it, when he didn't even like it? At least the others appreciated it. Well, at least I hope they did. They said it was good, but I don't really know, if they meant it.

Wait, what am I thinking about? Sango wouldn't lie to me.

Kagome was completely lost in her thoughts, she didn't even notice the demonic aura following her. "So they had another argument, hadn't they?" Kagura said, continuing to watch Kagome from the shadows of the bushes and trees. I'll wait a little longer before confronting her."

Kagome only just realised how far she had come, when she reached the sacred tree, which Inuyasha was sealed onto. She stopped at the tree, looking at it. She reached out her arm to softly and slowly stroke the scar on the tree. The place where Inuyasha lay asleep for fifty years. The place where she had met him for the first time. She started to calmly talk to herself. "Oh Inuyasha. Why do you always have those changes in attitude? I hate it when I have to sit you. It probably hurts me more than you, every time I sit you. Even today it hurt to see you lying on the ground. But I was just so angry because of your rudeness. Why can't you just stop being so cocky all the time?" She let out a sigh of desperation.

"So, having troubles with your lover again?" Kagura's voice came from behind Kagome. Kagome turned around with a gasp and instinctively grasped at the bow she had taken with her. But Kagura released her Dance of Blades, destroying the bow. "Relax, there's no need to fight. I'm here to talk." Kagura said calmly. "I don't believe you, Kagura. You're one of Naraku's incarnations. Naraku who's the best in deceiving people." Kagome said loudly, laying on the ground from dodging Kagura's blades. "Look, I neither have the time nor the desire to argue with you right now, because I want to see Naraku just as dead as you want him to. The way he's using me, the way he's controlling me is not bearable for much longer." Kagura lifted a hand to her chest and lowered her head while she was talking. "Every time I do something wrong, he's torturing me by squeezing my heart in his hand, just barely keeping me alive." Kagome realized that she spoke the truth, because she could hear the pain in Kagura's voice but she still stayed on her guard. "And what do I have to do with it?" Kagome asked a little sadly and calmer than before, wanting to take the nearly sobbing woman in front of her into a comforting hug. But she knew that Kagura was dangerous so she restrained herself. "Not much" Kagura answered. "Naraku only ordered me to observe your group and as soon as I could, I have to capture you and take you to Naraku. I saw this as an opportunity to convince you of helping me, because I know that you are the most insightful and caring person of the group." Kagura looked at Kagome with hope in her eyes. "That may be true, but I am also the weakest member of our group. So… how could I possibly help you in killing Naraku?" Kagome answered curiously, slowly starting to trust Kagura. "Please don't get me wrong now. Inuyasha may be strong enough to kill Naraku. But I wouldn't get him to trust me and let me lead him to Naraku. So I came to the conclusion that if I would kidnap his beloved Kagome, he would certainly come after me. Then I could lead him to Naraku without him knowing and he had another chance to kill Naraku." Kagome slightly blushed when she heard Kagura using the word 'beloved'. But then she realized what Kagura had just said. She took a step back as she said, "You expect me to trust you and then you just say something like this. Why didn't you just take me with you in the beginning? Inuyasha would come after me anyways." "If I would have taken you, would you have stopped struggling?" Kagura said and continued, not giving Kagome time to answer, "No. You wouldn't have. You'd have fought until you'd drop dead from exhaustion. If you trust me, it is much easier for both of us." "And what if I don't trust you?" came Kagome's harsh answer, not really meaning it. "Then I'll just take you with me despite all of your struggling." Kagura said, a little disappointed. "But Kagome? I have trust in you." she added unsurely.

Kagome gasped when she heard Kagura say this. But she actually made out that Kagura was completely serious and speaking the truth. "Kagome, we can only do this together, if you have trust in me too." Kagura continued. Kagome started to think about it. She seems totally serious and all. But can I really trust her? She attacked us too often in the past. She slaughtered Kouga's whole clan. What if she didn't change at all and she just wants to deceive me? Well, even if she wanted to do so, Inuyasha would come for my rescue. But even so, it is always dangerous to deal with Naraku. Kagome was interrupted in her thoughts when she heard Kagura saying something unexpected again. "Don't worry Kagome, I'll see for it that you won't get harmed." Kagome started thinking again. After a minute she came to a conclusion. "Fine, I'll trust you, Kagura. But I will never forgive you if you are lying." Kagome stated. "I understand." Kagura answered. "But there is also something more. If it is not possible for you and your group to kill Naraku, then at least try to get a hold of my heart. If I'd had my heart for myself, then I would finally be free from Naraku's grasp. But try to take it without him finding out that I turned against him." she added. "Fine with me. When should I involve Inuyasha about all of this? Because I'm sure he'll be infuriated and angry towards you, not Naraku. And you'll also have to fight Miroku and Sango, if I don't tell them." "Let's worry about this later. I won't have to fight them, if I hide myself and protect you, while Naraku goes out fighting. Just tell them, when you think they're ready to know." Kagura said. "Alright, let's do this." Kagome said very confidently. "I'll set up a scene and cry out as loudly as possible, so Inuyasha will come for me immediately." "Okay. I'm getting ready my feather." Kagura said, taking the white feather out of her hair, transforming it into a big flying object. "Get on." She said. "Alright. Thanks Kagura. I think it would be best for you to cover your ears now." Kagome said smiling. "Why?" Kagura asked confused. "INUYAASHAAA!" Kagome cried out as loud as she could. Kagura winced at Kagome's loud cry asking her annoyed, "Hey, why didn't you warn me you wench?" But Kagome only gave her a cold "I told you to cover your ears."

Back at the camp Inuyasha was slowly getting out of the Inuyasha-formed deep hole Kagome created by sitting him. When he got out, he heard Shippou calling him an idiot for his behaviour to Kagome. "What did you just say, you little runt?" Inuyasha said, growling at him. "You know what I said, Inuya… AH WHAT ARE YOU DOING? LET ME GO!" Shippou yelled at Inuyasha who lifted him up at his tail. "No way. It's your own fault for being so cocky towards me!" Inuyasha answered back at him. "Come on, Inuyasha, don't be so hard on him, he's just a kid." He heard Sango say. She was laughing with Miroku at the two demons arguing once again. "Why are you protecting him? It's completely his fault." Inuyasha replied. But Inuyasha showed mercy and let the little fox demon go. Well he didn't really let him go, he rather let him fall on the ground with his head. The consequence was that the little demon started to cry and ran to Sango so she would hold him. Normally he would run to Kagome in such a situation, but since she wasn't here he only had Sango as a 'way out'. Sango gently took him in her arms looking at Inuyasha with an evil glance. But the half demon only showed the others his back and sat down on a small boulder near the camp. Miroku and Sango both looked at Inuyasha and then at each other nerved. After calming down a bit, Sango realised, that Shippou had stopped crying and fell asleep. She gently lay him on the ground, somewhere near to them and covered him with a blanket from their luggage. Miroku watched the beautiful Sango in delight while she was taking care of the little kid. "What a cute little boy." she said smiling, while sitting down next to Miroku again. "You'd be a perfect mother, you know." Miroku said, still watching Sango. She started to blush extremely, thanking Miroku for his compliments. "Umm… th-thank you, M-miroku.", she stuttered. "H-how come?" "Do you mean this question?" Miroku said chuckling. "You just looked after Shippou, as if he would be your son." "Oh c-come on, M-miroku. I'm not that great." Sango answered still red, turning away from Miroku. Miroku gazed at the back of the beautiful Demon-slayer, his gaze wandering down Sango's back until it landed on her butt. When Sango felt the monks hand on her rear-end, she immediately stopped blushing, turned around and slapped Miroku with all her strength across his face. "WHY CAN'T YOU KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY BODY FOR ONCE, YOU LECHEROUS MONK?" She screamed annoyed. The so called 'lecherous monk' only had a big grin on his face, satisfied with what he felt. Inuyasha who watched the whole scene from his boulder then turned and gazed off into the forest and started thinking again.

What's up with everyone today? First Kagome sits me about fifteen times for whatever reason only god knows, then Shippou gets all cheeky. I'm punishing him, then Sango and Miroku are angry with me. Then that fool of a monk gropes Sango again and she gets even angrier than she was with me before. And what's more, I can smell that it's going to rain soon. Could this day get any worse?

He didn't think it could, but that thought proved itself as wrong when he was suddenly ripped out of his thoughts by a sudden shriek out of the forest calling after him.

"INUYAASHAAA!" It was Kagome's voice. Inuyasha immediately leapt onto his feet and took off into the direction of Kagome's voice. "KAGOMEEE! Hold out I'll be there soon, whatever it is." He called after the young priestess.


So this was chapter 1. Since I already had the first 6 chapters done on DeviantArt before, I'm uploading those simultaneously. Until I've got a new chapter done, I'll need something about 2 months. So if I take longer than that, you may scold me for it.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day.
