Kagome's POV
My eyes slowly fluttered open, I tried to move, but found out that I was tied up. I looked around to find myself in a cave.
Cave?
Just then yellow beams of light pulled and formed a barrier. Inside the barrier was a man, more like the half-demon Naraku with Kaana beside him.
"Well look what my miasma dragged in." (A/n corny joke I know)
I decided to keep silent.
"It seems my miasma has left you speechless."
I continued to stay silent.
"I will destroy Kikyo, now that I've cast aside Onigumo's heart. I shall kill the priestess, starting with her reincarnation."
"You can try all you want to destroy me; I know that Inuyasha will save me!"
"I wouldn't be so confident; after all he won't save you if Kikyo's brought into the picture."
I gasped. He's right; Inuyasha would save Kikyo over me.
"But Kikyo is dead!"
"She is. I created an imitation Kikyo to lure Inuyasha here. Knowing him, he's only worried about Kikyo."
I struggled against my ropes.
"You jealously of the dead Kikyo is great. You must know that you will never be able to replace her."
I could feel a demonic presence enter my body.
"I shall take your envy, jealously and despair and in turn give you power."
I can't breathe.
"Kaana take her soul."
My soul is slowly being pulled into her demon mirror. Instead of it being pure white, like any normal soul, mine glowed a deep red. The color of blood. Could this be my corrupted soul? Did Naraku do this to me?
My efforts are useless. Naraku's goal is complete. Kikyo has been fully destroyed…through me…

Sesshomaru was walking along the countryside like he always did, followed by Ah-Un, Rin, and Jaken.
"Lord Sesshomaru?"
Sesshomaru kept silent and remained in his thoughts. He could smell a familiar scent in the air. Naraku.
"Jaken."
"Eh, yes my Lord."
"Watch over Rin." Sesshomaru walked away; all the while the Tenseiga was rapidly pulsating.
"Inuyasha wait!" Miroku shouted while atop Kirara flying overhead. "This could be a trap!"
"Who cares! Kagome's been kidnapped by Naraku, who knows what he's planning."
"It's very likely that he's just trying to lure you out. You pose as the only real threat against his plans." Miroku explained.
"But there has to be another reason as to why he kidnapped Kagome." Sango explained.
The saimyosho stopped and disappeared in three directions.
They had left Inuyasha and co. near a river.
"I guess they weren't leading us to Naraku after all."
"Then what were the leading us to?"
Near the river's edge were a long bow and a quiver of arrows.
"These are Kikyo's." Inuyasha said as he stared at the objects in awe. "But she's dead...unless…"
Naraku must've spared her life for some reason and then taken her too…or he could've…no he wouldn't.
Sango and Miroku looked at each other, and then turned to Inuyasha. "What now?"
"We find Naraku."
"But we don't know where he's hiding." Kirara mewed in agreement with Sango.
"Damnnit! There has to be some way!"
Kikyo's POV
I remember now. I'm only a creation of Naraku. My purpose is to kill Inuyasha to buy time for Naraku to bring Kagome over to his side.
Inuyasha won't know what hit him.
"Inuyasha look! It's Mt. Hakurai!"
"But MT. Hakurai was destroyed when Naraku was here." Sango confirmed.
"Looks like that's where we need to go."
Sang, Shippo, and Miroku nodded.
"What's this scent I'm picking up, could it be Kagome?" Kouga stopped.
He noticed her scent was coming from Mt. Hakurai, a once destroyed spiritual place.
"There's something different about her scent…its dying out, but it reeks with the smell of Naraku."
Kouga's eyes went wide.
"He didn't…"
And with that Kouga sped up again in his cloud of wind and leaves.

"Kaana, has Kagome's soul been engulfed with my miasma?"
Kaana held the mirror closer to her. "She is resisting, but is long dead. Success is highly unlikely. Sesshomaru wields the healing Tenseiga, even if you control Kagome, he can revive her and destroy you." Kaana explained.
"That is what this is for." Naraku pulled out a spider. The spider was about as big as the Shikon jewel and it had a spider mark on its back.
Naraku placed the spider on Kagome's hand. The spider seeped into her skin and became a tattoo on her right arm. In Kaana's mirror, Kagome's soul turned black.

Inuyasha and co. had made it to the base of Mt. Hakurai.
"Let's go." Inuyasha said as he ran ahead.
The others followed in pursuit but where blocked by a powerful barrier.
Only Inuyasha was allowed past…
Inuyasha's POV
Kikyo. Has Naraku captured you too? I swear on my life. I'll save you and only you.
I had made my way to a fork in the mountain. Separating two caves.
Which way do I go? I can't pick up Kikyo's scent…
"So Inuyasha you've come."
"Where's Kikyo?" I shouted.
"You must choose Inuyasha. Right or left, but warn you, you will find the priestess to you're right, but she may not be how you remember."
I darted to the right cave. I have to save Kikyo.
Review! Tell me what cha think!
