I just want to take the time to say "THANK YOU, silenthopechik, for R&Ring this FIC." Cohran is very thankful.
Okay, yea, so there aren't too many CCS/IY fans. Oh well... hope you enjoy this chapter.
Disclaimer: The usual. I do not own the characters from CCS or IY. I am just borrowing them for this 'story'.
YAY!

Chapter 4
--------------
"Sakura-hime, I got the jewel!" Kagome ran quickly towards the princess, while the guards were chasing her for bursting into the ball, uninvited. Suddenly, Kagome froze. Inu-Yasha was holding a gun to Kagome's forehead.
"Don't move." Inu-Yasha told her. "Now.. return the jewel to the prince, you traitor." The guards who were chasing Kagome caught up to her, and surround her in a circle.
"Kagome-chan!" Sango said. "Why did you do it? Why did you steal the jewel?"
Kagome smiled. "I work for Sakura-hime, and Sakura-hime only. I would never be loyal to another."
"You B****!" Inu-Yasha got ready to fire the gun.
"Inu-Yasha, I advise you put the gun away if you want to live." Inu-Yasha looked around him. He was surrounded by the palace guards who knew who Kagome was. The guards who were chasing Kagome in were also now surrounding him.
"$hit." Inu-Yasha dropped his gun as Kagome smiled proudly.
------
"You were the prince?" was all Sakura could say to Prince Li, who had his hands tied to his back, like the rest of his bodyguards who were standing next to him.
"Now, we will begin with the questioning." King Kinomoto called in the scribe. "Come in, Keroberos." Kero floated in with a tiny notepad in one hand, and a pen in the other. He seated himself beside the king and began to take notes. "#1. What were you doing at the party, Prince Syaoran?"
Syaoran did not respond, for he knew if he told either of the two reasons he was there, he would get punished either way. Inu-Yasha decided to speak. "We, uh, wanted to see if the palace of this country was as, uh, grand as the stories say it is."
"Shut up, Inu-Yasha!" Kagome snapped. "You know that isn't the reason! You're a pathetic liar!" Kagome bowed to the king. "King, yesterday, I overheard that they were coming to the ball to try and find our weakness in hopes to weaken our country so they can buy some time to find the secret behind the jewel."
"Thank you, Kagome." Nadeshiko nodded in approval at the spy. "You have been of great help, getting the jewel back for us when your life was in danger." Then, she faced their captives. "As for you, hanyou... hehe... for lying to us..." Nadeshiko snapped once and Touya came in with a whip in his hands. He was grinning evily. Nadeshiko delighted in Inu-Yasha's scared face. Then she motioned Touya to leave the room, which he did. "One more lie, and that will be your reward... other than going to hell." The captives were slightly shaken.
"Now," continued King Kinomoto. "Why did you steal the jewel from us?" There was a moment of silence, then Shippo spoke up.
"No duh. We want our wishes granted!"
"Young kitsune," Touya, who had come back into the room, began. "Do you know of the legend behind the jewel? How it was created? Why it is so important to our country?" Intimidated by the prince, Shippo tried to hide behind Sango, who nodded, telling Touya to explain. "You probably heard of Kikyo, the priestess who protected the jewel, right?"
"Feh." Was Inu-Yasha's response. "She's long dead."
"That's right. But Kikyo was from our kingdom. She was guarding it under the order of the king. Did you know that?" All of the captives' eyes widened in shock, except for Inu-Yasha, who just responded with another "FEH."
"That's enough, Touya." Queen Nadeshiko commanded. Touya stepped back. All this time, Sakura and Syaoran were staring at each other, never breaking eye contact. Nadeshiko continued to talk. "Well, now. What should we do with our captives?"
Touya's eyes were on fire. "Torture them. Especially that prince who dared dance with my little sister! Torture..." Syaoran looked at Touya with an angry expression, and Sakura cringed when Touya said torture for the second time. She didn't want the prince to be tortured... (BLINK BLINK) Suddenly, the lights went out.
"Kukuku..." said a voice from above. Everyone looked up. The lights went back on, and standing on the balcony was the guy in shades.
"Who are you?" Shouted Meiling. The young man jumped down and landed gracefully on the ground floor.
"No..." Kagome put her hands to her mouth. "No, it can't be. Hojo?"
"Kukuku... partially right." The young man took off his shades. Kagome and the Inu-Yasha crew gasped. It was Hojo, with evil eyes.
"Who are you?" Inu-Yasha demanded to know.
"You, hanyou." Hojo pointed to Inu-Yasha. "You of all people whould know who I am! I am Naraku, in Hojo's body."
"Oh my gosh!" Sango cried. "I never thought such a castrophe could occur!"
"Hey," Miroku said. "What happened to your baboon skin?"
"Oh, that old smelly thing." Hojo/Naraku held out his sunglasses. "I traded it in for these pair of shades." Hojo/Naraku put the shades away.
"Okay, okay, okay. HOLD IT!" King Kinomoto shouted. He pointed at Hojo/Naraku and asked Kagome, "Who is this guy? Is he in the cast of Inu-Yasha?"
"Yea." Kagome replied unenthusiastically. She didn't look too happy to see Hojo/Naraku.
"AHHHH!" Suddenly, there was a high pitch scream from Tomoyo. Everyone looked at her. Tomoyo said, "Princess Sakura isn't HERE!!!!!!!" Everyone looked around the room, then Shippo yelped.
"Prince Syaoran isn't here either!" He said. It was true: Sakura and Syaoran had disappeared from the room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is Hojo/Naraku doing here? Why is Kagome so upset upon seeing him? Where did Sakura and Syaoran go to? AND WHERE IS YUKITO?!! (Whooops. He's still at the yam festival. Kind of left him there without a ride back. Gomen. I'm dialing for a taxi right away.) Keep your eyes open for more answers in the next chapter!
Remember... review=progress. j/k. ^_^ But please R&R!
