Update: January 16, 2012: I have decided to go back and add more details within my chapters so you may want to give them each a re-read.
So, I don't own either Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho characters~ it would be awesome if I did though~ Anyway, this is the first Fanfiction I have ever written, so any type of constructive criticism or ideas are always welcome, I wish to know how I can improve =3
I also cannot decide if this should just be a pure Kag/Yoko fanfic or if I should throw in Hiei, or Kuronue, or Yusuke…Kurama is going to be a given, for later chapters. I have read a few where they are all thrown in there, and I do not want to feel like it is a….weird orgy or something…how awkward.
Caught In A Spiders Web
It was inconceivable, unbelievable, implausible, and downright impossible. How...just how she was standing there, blood on her claws, yes, claws, was beyond preposterous to Kagome. Never mind the fact that the well was decimated behind her.
What was truly and honestly outlandish was the fact that Kagome, the small and harebrained human girl from the future, now stood before her group as a full demon. Yes, demon.It was almost too much for her mind to fathom. Scratch that...it wastoo much for her to fathom.
One minute she and the rest of her group were in the fighting with Naraku and the next she is standing there with one tiny shard of the Shikon-No-Tama in her hand and a broken well behind her.
Sango was the first to make it to Kagome. She took in Kagomes awed, yet somewhat confused, expression. Honestly, Sango herself would be confused if she had not witnessed it with her own eyes.
She would have even attacked the demoness before her for fear that the blood on her hands were that of the once Miko Kagome. Behind her Sango caught the sounds of Miroku, Shippo, and Inuyasha dispatching the rest of the creatures born from Naraku.
"Ka-Kagome? Is that really you...I mean...how...?" Sango started, not sure how to approach the subject. It is not every day that this sort of thing happens, at least, not without the help of a certain jewel.
"I...I'm not sure, Sango." Kagome said, her voice wavering a bit. 'Not sure' is a bit of an understatement really. She could not seem to remember the past few months of her life, that including the two other demons staring intently at her.
*5 MONTHS AGO*
"It's over Naraku!" Kagome shouted as she notched another arrow onto her bow. Said arrow started to glow a soft pink as she pulled it back, ready to fire. Naraku glared at her, red eyes peering deep within her soul, as if searching for something.
"Tsk, tsk, Kagome. One should not be hasty, especially since it concerns your death." Naraku chuckled as he launched a tentacle her way. Inuyasha, however, saw the attack coming and before it had time to hit the tiny miko he jumped in front. Grimacing as he took one of Narakus nasty tentacles through his shoulder.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome shouted as she rushed to her Hanyou friends' side.
"Naraku…" Kagome ground out through gritted teeth. "You will pay for that!"
Before she even had time to load another arrow, a silver blur rushed in front of her, slicing another oncoming tentacle and impaling its sword within Narakus gut.
'Who...is it Inuyasha?'Kagome thought as she looked on. Giving the figure a once over she realized it was not Inuyasha, but his older half-brother Sesshomaru. 'This has got to be at least the third time he as saved my life...inadvertently or not.' Kagome thought to herself.
"Onna, it is in your best interest to distance yourself from this Sesshomaru. A battlefield is no place for a little girl." Sesshomaru said scowling, inwardly laughing at her anger. Although he would not admit it to anyone else, he had grown quite fond of the little woman-child standing behind him. Not as one would see a lover or mate, but as one would see a sister.
He had to admit also that she proved quite entertaining over the years. Yes, at first, he was beyond annoyed and aggravated by her very presence, but once Rin grew attached to the young woman-child, it was not long before he did as well. She would often visit Rin with her with sweets and books.
'It's no wonder I've grown attached. She seems to have that effect on the male species, just look at the Ookami, Monk, and Hanyou. Although the Monk sees her as he would a sister as well. The Ookami and Hanyou prove my point enough, constantly in a battle over her affections. What another annoyance, it is a wonder she still hasmosther sanity.'Sesshomaru thought with an inward grin.
"Why you arrogant little…!" Kagome fumed at the Daiyokai. 'The nerve of that pompous, ungrateful, egotistical jerk…! I'll show him!' Kagome thought as she drew another arrow, as she went to take aim for Naraku.
"Nani, where did he go?" Kagome question when she looked down her arrow at an empty space where Naraku once stood. "He was just there!" Kagome said.
Before she could even look Sesshomarus direction, a pair of tentacles wrapped themselves around Kagome's slim waist. She let out an 'Eep' of surprise when she felt herself being pulled back against a firm chest. 'GRO-OSS!'Kagome thought 'Like I want to be this close to that freak!' Kagome thought when she saw that it was the chest of Naraku she was up against.
"LET HER GO YOU BASTARD!" Kagome heard Inuyasha shout. She looked over to see Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and Sesshomaru fighting off the countless demons Naraku sent their way. That was the last thing she saw before Naraku pinched a nerve on her neck, causing her to black out.
"No, I don't believe I will, Half-breed. I believe I will have a bit of fun with her before I turn her against you and your companions." Naraku said with a dark chuckle. "How will you react when you're once companion comes to seek your lives? Will you kill the woman you have traveled with for 4 years? Or will you not put up a fight and allow her to kill you instead?" Once again, Naraku let out a dark chuckle as his poisonous miasma filled the clearing.
"You BASTARD!" Inuyasha shouted, "Come back here with Kagome!" Inuyasha gave chase, followed shortly by Sango and Miroku, then lastly Sesshomaru. They each were running at a ridiculous pace, but they still managed to lose sight of Naraku.
"Damn it!" Inuyasha cursed lodging Tessaiga into the ground. "How dare him! How dare he take Kagome and then run like a coward!" He said while gripping the hilt of Tessaiga until his knuckles whitened.
"Do not worry, half-breed," Sesshomaru said, sheathing Tokijin. "I shall rescue the onna soon enough then put an end to that foul excuse for life."
"You…? Why the hell should you care Sesshomaru, she's nothing but a weak human!" Inuyasha shouted at the retreating form of his brother.
Sesshomaru stopped and glanced back at the half-breed, slowly tuning to face him. "My dear brother,it is because the onna is one who is worth protecting. I also find that I need the onna for something rather important. You should figure that out before you undead bitch turns against you because, as definite as the moon is round, she will." With that, Sesshomaru left the clearing to follow what trace of Naraku or Kagome he could find.
"Sesshomaru-sama is right, Inuyasha. Kagome-sama seems to be the one Naraku is most afraid of." Miroku said sadly. "She has interfered more times than Naraku wishes, and her life is in grave danger. We must not waste time arguing with Sesshomaru-sama about this. We should follow."
"Keh, whatever, Kagome seems to be more trouble than she's worth at this point." Inuyasha said with a sigh. "But we need her to see the shards...so I guess we will have to rescue her."
"Is the shards all you can think of Inuyasha!" Sango shouted at the Hanyou. "Kagome is with NARAKU! We must save her! Her life is more important than the jewel shards!"
"Keh" Inuyasha said again, lightly grimacing as he clutched the shoulder where Naraku had impaled him earlier. "Kikyo wouldn't have gotten captured in the first place. We should just have her help in the hunt for the shards and leave Kagome to her own means of escape. Let her earn her stay in this group." Inuyasha said as he went the opposite direction Sesshomaru went.
Miroku and Sango looked dumfounded. Inuyasha did not just say that...no, they must have heard him wrong. They glanced at each other then back to the Hanyou, hoping he would turn around and yell at them for wasting time while Kagome was in the clutches of Naraku. Alas, that was not meant to be as Inuyasha just kept walking. Miroku and Sango did not know what to do, the heart of their little group was being kidnapped from their most hated enemy, and the brawn of their group was just going to let Naraku TAKEher.
With a glance back to where the Daiyokai had left Miroku and Sango followed behind the Hanyou as he lead them back to the village of Kaede, hoping that once there the Hanyou would see the error of his was and rush of to her rescue.
Sesshomaru scoffed at the words of the half-breed. Did he really believe that some undead woman was better than the woman-child he already held within his grasp? Was he so foolish to believe her to be superior?
Sesshomaru inwardly sighed, of course he did. This was Inuyasha; he would not know a good thing if it was presented to him on a golden plate with a scroll saying it was the genuine thing. 'The Miko will be most disturbed to hear this news.' Sesshomaru thought as he picked up the faint trail of her scent.
*NARAKUS CASTLE*
Kagome slowly woke in a darkened room, and tried to adjust to the lack of light. She moved to sit up but realized that her hands are chained to the wall behind her. She tugged at them a few times before giving up. Sighing she looks over to what she assumes is the door as she hears footsteps approaching.
She hears a gently knocking at the door, and when she does not say 'come in' right away, the person on the other side of the door lets themselves in. Kagome is shocked to see Kohaku enter the room.
"Master Naraku wishes to see you, Kagome-sama." Kohaku says in his monotone voice as he moves to unlock her chains. "Running will be useless, Kagome-sama, so please do not try." Once he got the cuffs unlocked, he moved for Kagome to follow behind him. When she did not make to move, Kohaku reached out and grasped her wrist, dragging her behind him.
"Kohaku, why are you doing this?" Kagome questioned, hoping to reach him somehow, but it was not meant to be, for Kohaku simply stared at her with his dull eyes and replied once more "Master Naraku wishes to see you, Kagome-sama."
With a dejected sigh, Kagome followed along behind him, taking note of which direction she was headed, and which hallways they went down. After the fourth turn down a hallway the approached a shoji screen door, with what appeared to be a landscape of Mt. Fuji depicted on the front. Kohaku knelt down and knocked twice upon the screen. From behind it, she heard the sickening voice of Naraku allow them entrance.
"Why if it isn't the lovely Kagome-sama, gracing me with her presence." Naraku remarked, patting for her to take a seat next to him. When she did not make to move, he growled lightly before continuing.
"I have decided that you are to be my...test subject...of sorts." Naraku said as he watched her reaction. Kagome's eyes widened and she let out a squeak before he pressed on. "You see, Kagome dear, I have stumbled upon a way to turn anyone with even a trace of demonic blood into a full demon, without the use of the jewel shards." Naraku watched again as Kagome's eyes widened further, getting his sick enjoyment from this type of torture.
"Now my dearest Kagome, I wouldn't let anything too horrible befall you, after all, I want you by my side to search for the jewel shards after all." Naraku gave a sinister chuckle.
"No way in HELL would I ever help you NARAKU!" Kagome shouted at the vile creature. She would rather be dead than help him with his 'tests'.
"I am in no way giving you a choice, dearest Kagome. You will do this, and you will do so with as little problems as possible. Wouldn't want little Shippo, or even Rin, to be harmed now would we?" Naraku asked while showing the mirror Kanna usually holds to Kagome. Within the mirror, Kagome saw the hut Kaede stays in, but that was not the part she should be concerned about. What she should be concerned about was that there was a demon lurking around the shadows near the hut.
Kagome began to crack, not wishing harm to befall the innocent children. "How do you even know this will work Naraku, I have no demon blood in me what-so-ever."
Naraku chuckled sinisterly again. "My dearest Kagome, I will inject the blood within you." Naraku laughed harder when he saw Kagome's face go from just pale, to a light green. "Don't fret, dearest Kagome. I can almost promise nothing too terrible will happen to you."
Kagome felt her knees go weak. 'Why is this happening to me? Have not the Kami punished me enough.' Kagome thought to herself. This was just her luck too, to be turned into a demon by the craziest half-breed in all of Japan. Her face fell at the thought of being a demon. Sure, it had its benefits, but she did not know what kind of demon Naraku had in mind, and that alone scared her more than anything did. For all she knew he would turn her into some kind of toad demon, of Kami forbid a slug...eeww.
"Now," Naraku started "should I pressure you more, or are you willing to cooperate in this." he finished with a wicked glint in his eyes.
"I-I'll d-do it, Naraku." Kagome hesitantly stuttered. She could not bear the thought of anything happening to either Shippo or Rin; they were like children to Kagome.
"Very well, come this way and we will get started." Naraku said as he stood to lead Kagome out another door in the room and down a different corridor. 'This place has more twists and turns than a slinky'Kagome thought to herself as he led her down yet another corridor. They came upon a plain shoji screen and entered to see just a plain futon in the middle of the room. Candles were on either side of the futon and there were a few bowls and herbs around the foot of the futon.
"Lay on the futon, dearest Kagome." Naraku said with a snicker.
"Do. Not. Call. Me. That." Kagome shot through gritted teeth as she walked towards the futon. Taking a deep breath, she knelt in a sitting position before turning to lie down as she was told.
'I can't believe I'm listening to this creep, but what other choice do I have, Shippo, and even little Rin, could be in serious trouble if I refuse.'Kagome thought to herself.
Naraku reached for the vial of blood next to one of the candles and laid it next to him. He then reached for the dagger and what appeared to be a needle. With each item laid out next to him he sent a servant to bring a fresh change of clothes and bathing supplies for when he was finished.
"Now, dearestKagome, this...this will hurt." Naraku said not even trying to hide the sick amusement he was feeling. Uncorking the vial and laying it next to him, he then took the dagger and made a cut across the back of Kagomes right hand.
Inwardly Kagome screamed, but she would be damned if she let Naraku know she was in such pain. The sick bastard would enjoy it too much. When the dagger was put down, she watched as Naraku poured the vial of blood into the needle, and to Kagome's amazement, the needle sucked up the entire vial of blood. Naraku rose Kagome's hand to eye level as the placed the needle above where he made the cut and, ever so slowly, the blood started to drip out into Kagomes wound.
'Well, this didn't hurt as much as I thou-"Kagome let out a terrible scream as she felt her body start to heat up as her holy blood fought to purify the demon blood entering her body. She tossed and turned on the futon in pain, letting out strangled cries every now and then.
Naraku watched on as she thrashed about on the futon. A sinister smirk still plastered on his face. He watched in glee as her body rose off the futon and was soon enveloped in crimson light.
