Chapter three- New Home and New Fears

InuYasha's emotions had changed from anger to worry.

It had been a whole day and there was no sigh of Kagome in the air or on the ground and he was beginning to wonder if something had happened to her. 'I'm not going to take the chance' he thought, he hopped down from the branch he was roosting on and headed to the bone-eaters well, leaving Miroku, Sango and Shippo unaware of his absence.

Kagome stared with wide and terror-struck eyes at the castle that lay before her. She had never expected him to have a dark priestess to do his bidding; she always thought he had Kagura as his main servant.

"Naraku"

The miko heard Kagome's half-hearted mumbling and let out an evil chuckle, "That's right; Naraku had dispatched Kagura only a while ago and incarnated me to take her place, my name's Kuragari, dark priestess of Naraku" Kagome froze as Kuragari undid the ropes from the horses harness and lead her and Sesshomaru (Who had regained consciousness and seemed to be doing a bit better than yesterday) inside the castle.

InuYasha froze at the sight of the ground that the bone-eater's well rested on.

Blood was spattered all around the area and flattened grass showed someone had fallen. One thing that stunned him the most was that the scent of the blood smelt almost exactly like Sesshomaru's but there was the scent of human mixed in. Several other scents rested on the grass as well, one being several lesser demons and another had a strong, almost demonic aura to it, the scent of Kagome was also strong in the air.

A silver gleam caught only a few yards away from InuYasha caught his attention, he walked over and saw Tenseiga and Tokijin lying on the ground covered in blood and blades of grass. By now, InuYasha was fuming, not so much as because Sesshomaru was missing and wounded but that Kagome was captured and traveling with his half-brother.

He ran towards the direction of the gang towake them up so they could go after their kidnapped companion.

Kagome was thrown roughly to the cold, hard floor of a dark cell, soon followed by Sesshomaru.

"This will be your new home until further notice" Kuragari announced with a good dose of sarcasm leaking from her voice. She slammed the cell door behind her before walking away to who knows where.

Kagome glared at the direction Kuragari departed but turned her attention to Sesshomaru who was once again knocked unconscious. 'This is getting mighty old' Kagome thought, she saw no need to help him since his wounds had stopped bleeding for the most part, she was about to stand up but let out a piercing scream, immediately awaking Sesshomaru who look rather angered by her outburst.

"What is your problem miko?" he asked coldly, he looked to the direction Kagome was pointing and saw a human skeleton, he almost snorted in disbelief that the girl could be afraid of something as tame as a skeleton, he slowly rose up to his feet and walked over to the skeleton, crushing the skull with his foot, earning him another ear-ringing shriek from Kagome.

"What did you do that for!" she squealed

"You should learn to control your fear miko" Sesshomaru said, ignoring her question, "If we do not come up with a plan to escape from these chambers, you will end up like this skeleton yourself"

Kagome gave Sesshomaru a cold glare, any feelings she had felt for him earlier had completely melted to nothing, her attention then turned to what he said, "What do you mean we?" she asked, peering at the Lord curiously.

"You are certainly to weak and clueless to figure out an escape plan for both of us so I have no choice but to help if I want to escape from here alive" Kagome felt taken aback by his insult but came up with one herself, "I understand that but what I don't see is how your going to defend yourself if demon guards come after you" she instantly knew that she had crossed the line when she felt him grab her by the throat and thrust her into the wall, making everything around her shake.

"You should watch your tongue miko or it just might cost you your life" Sesshomaru hissed in a voice so cold in could freeze the depths of Hell. Kagome nodded out of fear, she was losing oxygen fast and the last thing she wanted to happen was die here in Naraku's castle with Sesshomaru. She gasped for air when she felt herself plummet to the ground. 'He may be human but he it still very strong, not to mention fast' she thought, she tucked her knees to her chin and buried her face in her skirt, trying to hide herself from her new home and her new fears.
