Chapter 1: A Noble Kidnapping
"Where... Where am I?" Wondered Kagome, finding herself in a dungeon inside a large castle. Then, footsteps, coming nearer to her. She heard a door open and looked around to see... Inuyasha? No, it was Sesshomaru, but why was he here...? Suddenly, she remembered what had happened earlier.
There was a fierce battle, between Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and a large dragon demon who had swallowed five shards. This creature was proving difficult to defeat, as the shards not only made him quick and agile, but they made him so strong that he needn't use all of his power in one strike, making the Backlash Wave essentially useless. But worst of all was that he wasn't focusing on the ones fighting him, he was after Kagome. Knocking Inuyasha aside, he came up in front of Kagome and then... what? she couldn't remember what had happened next. Could Sesshomaru have...?
"So, the bait is finally awake," said Sesshomaru. "That was quite the close call, and if I had been any later, you would have been eaten alive, you should thank me."
So it was true, he had saved her, but why? Why had he saved her when he seemed to loath her very existence? As if in answer, he came close to her, held her cheek softly, and said," I need you. You're a very important part of my plan."
