Chapter One) Lost and Found
Kagome wandered through a dark, creepy hallway made of bricks. It was like a dungeon, as if she was walking herself to prison. The darkness would fade away for only seconds when she would come upon a torch.
She came across another one, this time grabbing it from it's holder and taking it with her. She couldn't stand this darkness, and she could only imagine what was watching her in the shadows, especially in this era that is flooded with demons.
"Uhh," Kagome moaned, "I should have listened to Inuyasha! And this limp isn't helping!"
)Flashback(
"Get back here, Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled down at Kagome who had just wandered down a crater-like indent in the ground. "What are you doing?"
"Just exploring, Inuyasha!" Kagome answered, not bothering to get into the 'you're-not-my-father' argument. Kagome had actually dropped the Jewel Shards. While they were walking, she decided it wouldn't harm anyone to just take them out of their hiding spot in her shirt and take a peek at their beauty. While she was, they dropped off her neck and fell down this creepy indent. Kagome just guessed that because she wore it non-stop the strap got worn out and snapped.
Inuyasha stood at the edge holding her bike while Miroku, Sango, and Shippou were ahead talking about random things. Sango held Kilala in her arms whom seemed to look frightened and would not take her eyes off Kagome.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled back, annoyance, as always, in his voice and features.
Kagome snapped around and looked at him. "Hold on a sec okay! It's not like we're gonna find Naraku anytime soon. It's been almost a year and we still haven't! It's not like 5 minutes is gonna change that!"
"Probably not, but Naraku's scent is crazy around her!"
Kagome just scoffed and turned back to her search. In mere seconds, she spotted them, the Jewel Shards in the tiny bottle. She slowly walked over casually and slowly bent down to reach them, trying to make it look like she found something in her 'exploration'.
"Come on!" Inuyasha began again.
Kagome smiled and then turned to face him. "Coming!"
As Kagome was slowly and carefully making her way back, Jewel Shard in hand, a sudden rumble shook the ground.
Kagome looked at the ground, wide-eyed and then back to Inuyasha, who now had the four others standing beside him, also wide-eyed.
"Come on, Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled, wanting to get her out of this place as fast as he could. Who knows what that could be. What made it even worse was the fact that Naraku's scent was so heavy there.
Kagome started to run this time, getting more frightened by the second; the rumbling was getting closer.
Suddenly, a hand came crashing from under Kagome. It was no normal hand it was huge, it belonged to a demon. It quickly grasped her ankle and held her back.
Kagome screeched and tried to free herself, but this demon had a strong grip and he wouldn't slack it anytime soon.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled, he ran down towards her and unsheathed Tetsusaiga.
"No, Inuyasha!" Miroku yelled from his spot. "If you use Tetsusaiga, you'll only end up killing Kagome!"
He was right, there was no way the Tetsusaiga would work, the only thing showing was the hand, and if he used any attacks, especially Wind Scar, it would also hit Kagome and kill her.
"I could use the Soul Stealer," he said to himself, looking at his claws. "Then again, Kagome would probably have no feet after that. Inuyasha looked at Kagome who was struggling franticly.
"Inuyasha! Get me out of this!" she yelled, keeping her eyes on the hand.
"Iron Reamor Soul Stealer!" he yelled, aiming it at the ground. 'That ought to work,' he thought. But nothing happened.
"What is this ground made of? It's like a shield."
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled, snapping him out of his thoughts. "Help me!" But there was nothing any of them could do; they would all end up killing Kagome.
"Help m—" but she was cut off when the demon suddenly started to take her down. "NOOOO! INUYASHA! HELP ME!" the demon took her further and further down.
"Kagome!" they all yelled. The rest came down to where Kagome was.
Sango unsheathed her katana and started to slice at the hand, it was working until she gave Kagome the slightest cut. "OUCH!"
"Sorry, Kagome!" Sango said. She sheathed her sword and then looked at Inuyasha. "There is no more I can do."
Kagome's head was the only thing sticking out now, Inuyasha desperately tried to cut through the ground but he couldn't.
"AHHH! INUYASHA!" Kagome suddenly yelled, she was once again being token under.
They all came over to her in a hurry and started to try to pull her out, but it was useless, and they all knew it. Kagome kept trying herself but it was just as useless.
Kagome took a quick glance up and when she did, she saw something very unexpected: an arrow with a blue glow around it.
"MOVE!" Kagome yelled. She knew they would refused so she grabbed each friend by their collar and shoved them away as quickly as she could. All of them fell to the ground with a thud.
Inuyasha was the first to gather his barrens, he was just getting up and was about to mouth off Kagome when an arrow shot right into the hand, barely missing Kagome. The hand started to glow blue and it started to screech.
'This is it, I'm saved,' Kagome thought.
But suddenly, the demon, with its last ounce of life, dragged her under the rest of the way. Kagome screamed and screeched, trying to stop herself, but it wouldn't work.
In a flash she was gone.
Inuyasha ran over to where she sank and began to dig a little. "Kagome! Kagome!" but then he stopped. "Who shot that arrow?"
All of them looked around, but saw nothing. But what they didn't know was that a priestess was watching them from the shadows, Kikyou.
"I shall leave the rest to you." She said, then walked away, slinging her bow back over her shoulder.
"I can't smell anyone!" Inuyasha said, raising his nose. "Naraku's scent is overpowering about everything!"
"Who cares about that! What are we going to do about Kagome?" Shippou asked, raising his arms.
Inuyasha sat on the ground and put a hand on his forehead. "I don't know."
Kagome fell hard on the ground, sending a pain up her tailbone, wincing, Kagome stood. Once she opened her eyes, she saw dust on the ground, black dust. It was the demon that had been shot with the arrow.
Kagome cringed then looked around at her surroundings. All she could do was walk, and that is what she did.
)End flashback(
Kagome kept walking with her torch in her hand and the limp from where Sango has cut her by mistake. Every one in a while she would wince in pain, but would never blame Sango, she was trying to help, and she loved her for that.
She finally came up to another pathway, but the one that she was on still went ahead. Where would she go?
After a few minutes, she decided to go down the new one.
It was 30 minutes now that she had been walking down that new path she decided to take. She was debating in her mind whether to turn around and continue on the old trial, but she was so far in this one and she didn't feel like wasting 30 more minutes.
Little did she know that decision would change her life.
She was walking down what seemed to be a 'creepy part' because she got a bad feeling and she felt like she was being watched. She would always turn around. But nothing was ever there, but there was, there was someone watching her through the shadows.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Someone asked.
Kagome quickly twirled around, but she saw nothing. "You're losing it, Kagome." She said quietly to herself.
"Oh, but you aren't." The voice replied.
It was a man's voice.
"Who's there?" she asked once she turned around. No one answered. She stayed like that for a few minutes then decided to turn around again. But when she did, she bumped into someone.
Kagome screamed and back up. She figure was still in the shadows so she decided to grab her torch and move closer.
Once she did she gasped. It was Naraku.
"A pretty young priestess like yourself shouldn't be wandering in my castle. Alone." He said with a grin.
'I'm in Naraku's castle? Oh great!' she thought.
Naraku chuckled and started to close the space between them.
