A/n: Even though I could write this in Japanese, I'm not cuz it takes away
the story sort of. And I know most of you know what "youkai" or "hai" or
stuff like that is from watching Inuyasha, but still not using it!

Chapter 1- Don't Leave Me
Following Kagome's sense of a Shikon fragment, the whole group started up a mountain path, in hopes of obtaining it before Naraku did.
No one uttered a word but kept steady pace, determined.
Kagome tripped and fell over something suddenly. Some kind of vine had ensnared her ankle.
"Wait! Hold on, this'll only take a minute!" she called out to the others, turning half-heartedly at the delay.
Kagome got back up and picked the thorns slowly, only to find out that they had started to constrict around her entire leg.
'What's happening?!' she thought, as her eyes froze to the spot, too mesmerized to call out.
"AIEEE!!" she screamed as they started dragging her.
'But to where?'
That question was soon answered after a swirling portal opened from the very ground itself, also revealing where the vines came from.
The remainder of the group rushed over to where Kagome was. Inuyasha tried cutting the vines with his claws, but they remained without a scratch. And with every attempted slash, it seemed to pull with more might.
Kagome was waist-deep by now, holding onto Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha as if they had a chance of dragging her out from the vines grasp.
"Are those vines part of a demon?" Miroku asked.
"No, they're spider threads, that's why we couldn't cut them, a spider demons web is indestructible!" Sango answered, taking a good look at what held Kagome captive.
With a final tug by the spider threads, Kagome was thrust into the portal, and both her and the portal dissipated.
"You said a spider demon, Sango?" Inuyasha asked, as she nodded, "Keh, should have known."
"You seem quite calm about it.why?" Miroku questioned.
"Because I know who was controlling the threads and where he is in this mountain." He replied, and took off with Sango and Miroku following his lead, not knowing where he was intending to go.

Kagome seemed to be unconscious on her way down the portal. As she started to blink and wake up, she noticed that she was tied down, and sitting on something cold and uncomfortable.
She finally opened her eyes to reveal that she was sitting in a dark dome-like room but what she was sitting on made her shriek in terror.
It was a throne of human bones!
"So you've awakened, eh?" a voice came from the darkness, where two bright-ruby eyes glowed.
"W-who are you?" Kagome half-screamed, half-asked.
"That does not concern you at this moment." The voice paused and there was a scuttling noise as it made it's way near enough for Kagome to see.
"You're a demon then." Kagome pointed out bluntly, of course she had known it was a demon, what else would it be? Her mom?
"Yes, as you can clearly see, I am a spider demon. . .a spider demon who is going to destroy Inuyasha." It answered back, grinning and with a hint of glee in all six of its eyes.
* * *
"Would you mind explaining to us where you're leading us to?" Miroku inquired, getting tired of running down the mountain path that they had just walked up on.
"It's a spiders den, that we should be nearing about now." Inuyasha answered back, barely turning his head to acknowledge him.
They stopped at a wide opening, it was no light shining into it or coming out of it, more like a desolate dark hole hidden in the shadows of a towering mountain.
Inuyasha entered with great haste, and Miroku and Sango started to follow cautiously. There was something wrong with the entrance.
Their suspicions were soon confirmed when both of them were launched back upon setting foot inside.
There was a barrier, seemingly preventing humans to enter. Inuyasha being half and half could walk in.
"Inuyasha, we cannot enter, there's a barrier, I trust that you can rescue Lady Kagome by yourself?" Miroku called into the cave, knowing Inuyasha could here.
"Keh, of course." Echoed through the walls.
* * *
The spider demon left somewhere for a while, leaving Kagome to figure out what the hell she was going to do. She figured that she was being held hostage as a trap to get Inuyasha here. But if Miroku and Sango were with him, a mere spider demon couldn't be too much of a hassle with their strengths combined.
Still the air was unsettling, and she was still bound to the spot with spider threads. Everything she tried to wriggle loose, a weak but effective poison seethed through her hands and burned her.
"Inuyasha is coming to his death, my, I never though a mere human like you would be that important to him." The spider said gleefully.
