When Kagome awoke later that day she found that her wrists were bound by chains barred onto a wall, she was sitting on her knees on a cold stone floor the wet dampness soaking into her blue gown.

"What the heck is going on?" She yelled as she looked around, her chocolate brown eyes searching frantically for an exit and an answer at the same time. She turned to look beside her only to find Shippo unconscious on the floor, the poor fox had been knocked out cold. Not long after her cry the cloaked man appeared in front of her, he knelt down and lifted her chin his face now visible to her brown eyes. He had long black hair, and almost a deep violet shade of eyes, she turned away from him disgusted by what she saw.

"I'm quite sorry Lady Kagome, but my orders were to bring you back here and bind you. I am Naraku, a servant from time to time to Lord Sesshomaru." He said as he let his hand slide away from her face.

"He's not a Lord yet!" Kagome hollered into Naraku's face, "and he never will be because I'm not going to marry him in the fist place." She spat the last part at Naraku wanting to get her point across before he left her to herself. Naraku just chuckled at her antics; he was never one that dealt with feisty women quite often so her little outburst gave him a hint of amusement. Just as he was about to retort back at her a tall shadowy figure entered the room, Naraku looked up before bowing his head slightly; there in the door way stood the man that Kagome never wanted to meet in her life time, it was none other than Sesshomaru himself. He entered the room his foot steps were as soundless as could be, it was almost as if he weren't even walking on sold mass.

"Ah Lady Kagome it's nice of you to join us, word that you wish to free my brother has spread to my ears. This I do not wish to happen, therefore I shall keep you bound until you swear your loyalty to me and only me." Sesshomaru said in calm and cold manner, his dark amber eyes searching her own windows for an answer. Kagome just looked at him her eyes observing his features; he had long white hair, dark amber eyes, and last pointed elf like ears which of course Shippo had mentioned once before. She turned from him her nose pointed upwards in a state of snobbishness.

"I do not intend to pledge loyalty, nor do I intend to become your bride. Your very existence makes my blood boil, it also give me a sickening feeling when I even look at you." Her own cold demeanor was starting to appear, she didn't want to have anything to do with this vermin all he did was make her feel sick to her stomach. Sesshomaru sighed softly to himself a slight smirk appearing on his face, he made a slight signal to Naraku before leaving the chamber without a word.

"It seems Lord Sesshomaru wishes to keep you confined longer than he expected, I implore you to pledge loyalty to him for fear of hurting yourself." Naraku said calmly as he continued to kneel next to the young maiden. He knew of her answer but he still wished to change her mind, sure he may have seemed evil at first but deep down he had a kind heart. Kagome just glared at him before ignoring him completely, she didn't want to have anything more to do with the people that were holding her captive. Naraku shook his head at her before standing on his two feet, he turned slowly watching her the whole time before he too left the chamber leaving her be to herself. Moments later young Shippo awoke his head aching in places he didn't even knew he had, he looked next to him at the chained Kagome his eyes widening at the scene.

"Kagome are you alright, did they hurt you in any way?" He asked as he scurried over to her lap, his emerald eyes looking up at her with concern. "No I'm fine Shippo; it's just that my wrists are killing me." She sighed as she rested her chin on her chest, she had no idea how to get out of here but she knew she had to now that Sesshomaru clearly stated that he didn't want Inuyasha freed from his prison. Shippo examined the bars, they seemed easy enough to break with the small power he had within him. "Kagome I think I can get these off of you, you just have to stay as still as possible." Kagome looked at him before closing her eyes, "go right ahead Shippo." Shippo crept up Kagome's body until he was perched on her shoulder; he rested his hands on each of the bars containing Kagome's wrists before covering them in an almost reddish-green light. Kagome winced slightly at the slight heat she felt from the power that the young fox child was letting loose, before long the binds had shattered and her wrists were finally free of the cold metal. "Thank you Shippo," she exclaimed as she took the fox off her shoulder and hugged him close to her body, before long she was on her own feet the fox still planted firmly in her arms. "Now we just have to figure out a way to get out of here." She looked around, there wasn't much down in the chamber they kept her in so she slowly crept toward the exit where Sesshomaru and Naraku had exited earlier before. She looked around the corner only to find two demon guards placed on either side of the door, she growled slightly before searching again. Not to far from where she was lay her weapons, her sword and shield right out in plain view. She gulped slightly as she put the fox down, he already knew what she was going to attempt and he wasn't going to try and stop her. Kagome made a mad dash for her weapons, alerting the guards at the same time; they gave chase but were too late when Kagome finally got a hold of her weapons, she struck both down with out killing them she panted softly before placing the shield on her back and the sword at her side. "Come on Shippo lets get out of here before others come looking for me." And with that Kagome and Shippo disappeared into the deep unknown of the castle in Morden.

(Meanwhile with Miroku and Sango)

"Miroku are you sure we'll make it there in time?" Sango asked as she followed the strange Monk in front of her. "Dear Sango we're here." He pointed to the giant stone castle laid out in front of them, its silver banners plain to see; it gave off a air of snobbishness even if it was just stone. Sango's eyes widened at the castle, she'd never seen anything so big before. All at once it excited her and made her shake with fear at the same time. "So, how are we going to save Kagome?" She asked looking at him curiously, her brown eye boring into his violet ones. "You'll see dear Sango, you'll see." He said calmly as he entered the castle unannounced, his robes swaying silently behind him; Sango followed close on his heals her boomerang placed firmly on her shoulder, out of no where a small two tailed cat approached her. She looked down at it a small smile forming on her lips, how anything could be so cute in a scary place like this was unknown to her. She picked up the small cat and placed it on her other shoulder, surprisingly the small feline rested there as if she were meant to be there all along. Sango looked up only to find that she was quite far away from Miroku, she ran slightly to catch up with his form only to come face to face with a palace guard. He was armed and she knew she could take him, after all he was only just one; she took her boomerang off her back and flung it at him hitting him hard in the side as he tried to attack her, he went down in one blow. "Gosh these demons are so weak." She mumbled to herself as she caught up with Miroku, he was facing away from her so she's couldn't see the slight smirk on his face from her little accomplishment. Not soon after her little spat they were surrounded by guards, Miroku turned to Sango his eyes serious as he said his next words. "Sango grab onto me unless you want to perish." She did as she was told, as soon as she took hold of him he unwrapped the bead around his right hand; a deep suction was invoked upon the guards one by one they disappeared into his hand, soon not one was left he closed his hand quickly before panting slightly at the use of his wind tunnel. Sango opened her eyes which she hadn't realized she had closed in the first place. "Miroku what did . . .?" He just silenced her with a finger before turning back and walking one again, just then something soft banged into his chest; he looked down only to find that he hand Kagome's shoulders in his arms. "Kagome, but how did you get past all the guards?" He was a little too curious for his own good, he let go of her as he spoke. "Shippo and the sword and shield I got from Sango's father." Kagome said with a big grin on her face, she was happy to see her companions again. "Now let's get out of here before more come." She hurried them back out of the castle; as soon as they were out they all set off running not sure where they were heading for the next jewel.

(Morden Castle)

"My Lord the woman has escaped." Naraku said trembling slightly under Sesshomaru's gaze, the young lord smirking still. "I knew she would, it's only a matter of time before my brother is free. Naraku prepare my troops, I wish to be ready when he finally emerges from his prison. It's about time I come to terms with my younger brother, I'm sure he will die at my hand if the time comes." Sesshomaru turned away from Naraku his long white hair following his every move. "Yes my Lord." Naraku said as he disappeared into the shadows, his cloak once again covering his form.
