Last Chapter:
Tears overwhelmed her eyes. 'he picked Kikyo. Why Inuyasha…. Why?' Kagome felt Naraku's laugh as he pulled her closer to his chest. His breath making her skin crawl as his head came closer. "Even if you are just a shadow"
She watch helplessly as Inuyasha fled only to stop for a second. "I won't forgive you for this you bastard. I will return for Kagome." And with that he vanished leaving her to the will of her captor.'why?'
Chapter 1: The Deep End
Kagome struggled in the darkness but all attempts were just a waste. Her wrist chained above her head giving enough leeway to sit on the damp dirt, but nothing more. The air was dull and musky making it hard to breath. Kagome could hear footsteps in the distance Naraku was planning to visit.
The cell's door creaked when it opened letting the light pour in. She could see the silhouette of Naraku's baboon cloak. "How is my little miko?"
Kagome closed her eyes and wished to be home letting one tear escape down her cheek.
'Damn Naraku you will pay for Kagome's death I promise you this' He slowed at the smell of the Houshi and Taijiya. He is getting close to camp, and that's when it hit him 'what was he going to tell them?' Inuyasha stopped. What was he going to tell them, it was all his fault. How will they react?
"Houshi-sama I hope Kagome and Inuyasha are okay they have been gone for so long. What if something happened to them?" Miroku gave Sango a reassuring smile "Don't worry my dear Sango, Inuyasha will protect Kagome they will come back soon."
Inuyasha heart dropped when he heard Miroku's words. He was there and he was supposed to protect Kagome, they trusted her with him and he failed. He carefully walked into the clearing with the injured Kikyo. Miroku was the first to notice Inuyasha and stand to approach him. "Inuyasha I am happy to see that you are uninjured." Sango however become aware of the one thing wrong with the picture "Where is Kagome?" Inuyasha's stomach sank at her question which he had been dreading.
He slowly breathed in Kagome's scent. She smelled of blood and peaches 'a marvelously mix' he mused. Naraku brought his left claw to her face, as she tired to get away. Her skin was smooth and warm 'oh how he will love it when he causes it to bleed.' His right claw punctured her skin and gradually cutting a shallow line from her ear down to her collar bone, which earned him a whimper. 'Oh how I am going to love making you scream'
"Poor, Poor little miko, first he let you get caught, then he ran to save a dead woman. Lastly he ran away without even attempting to save you." steadily he clawed her arms to further the pain with more of his shallow cuts. "Why your life's not even worth his time. A dead woman means more to him in his eyes. You love him and he still doesn't care enough to come to your rescue. My poor little miko...tsk tsk."
His eyes flickered to the cut on her neck and slowly he brought his head down to licked the blood away. Kagome's body instantly stiffen under him. Her pulse racing with fear as salt filled the air from her tears. 'just where I want her. Soon, very soon she will be mine.' Getting up her turned toward the door. "Well I need to attend to some business." Once the door was closed behind him, he could hear her screams of frustration and anger. Obviously she no longer had hope that Inuyasha will save her 'very good indeed.'
Kagome's skin tried to recoil when Naraku grasped her face. She tried to retreat but the chains gave her little movement. She stopped when his right claw pierced her skin below her ear. She held back a scream trying not to let him have the satisfaction of her pain. She could no longer hold back the whimper when he started to move the claw in a shallow line done to the nape of her neck.
"Poor, Poor little miko, first he let you get caught, then he ran to save a dead woman. Lastly he ran away without even attempting to save you." His voice sent shivers down her spine. "Why your life's not even worth his time. A dead woman means more to him in his eyes." 'No it's not true Inuyasha wouldn't…' "You love him and still he doesn't care enough to come to your rescue. My poor little miko… tsk tsk." 'He will come, he will…'
Kagome stiffened when his head dropped down to her neck. She felt as his tongue follow the trail of the cut that he had inflicted. 'Why Inuyasha… why can't you save me.' Her tears poured down her face with her silent sobs. The fear seeped out of her; she was trapped and couldn't escape.
Naraku stood up and headed toward the door "Well I need to attend to some business." And with that he took his leave shutting the door. Kagome plummeted back into the darkness. 'Why did you have to pick Kikyo over me…' She couldn't control her emotions any longer she was frustrated and mad that Inuyasha would put her in this position. She let it all out and screamed at the top of her lungs, still shaking she was left to her thoughts of Inuyasha's betrayal and to cry until there were no more tears to left for her to cry.
Naraku pulled the Shikon no Tama out of the folds of his kimono. His eyes transfixed to the jewel, and how it shined with malice and hatred giving off its radiant color. Kagura stood behind him now eying the jewel; he could see she had a question on the tip of her tongue. "What is it you wish to ask Kagura?" putting emphasis on her name.
She eyed him before answering "Why have you yet to take the miko's shards?" He laughed at her question as if the answer was obvious. "I want her to give me the shards and…." pausing to add his suspense "her body." His darkened laughter reverberated off the walls of the empty castle.
He turned to face Kanna's mirror which showed him the reflection of Kagome. She was unconscious from the pain which he had inflicted on her.'Maybe it's time I go and pay my little miko another visit.'
Inuyasha's heart began to race. "Inuyasha where is Kagome?" Sango was growing impatience he needed to tell them.
He slowly placed Kikyo's limp form on the ground. "She is gone, I could only save Kikyo." he said it so soft he wasn't even sure that they heard, but Sango had heard him perfectly. The sound of a Sango's slap echoed through the clearing. His hand flew up to his cheek it was sore at the touch. He looked to see Sango's tears running done her face "Why did you save Kikyo but not Kagome. How could you? Itrusted you!"
Miroku stepped in between the taijiya and the hanyou "Now Sango I am sure he tried everything he could to save Kagome. Didn't you Inuyasha." Inuyasha averted their eyes 'they need to know.' He turned to look them in the eyes. "No I didn't"
