Previously from chapter 3

Kagome exited the hut and looked around the area. Why had he left? Did he abandon her?

Where was Sesshomaru?

Kagome paced around the area. She was freaking out, not only was she weaponless and ALONE but she had no idea where she was. If he thought of this as funny it most certainly WAS NOT.

She heard a rustling in the brush and turned around. A few inches from her stood a boy; he was maybe 11 or 12 Kohakus age she imagined. He had brown hair and...lifeless eyes. He looked like an older version of kanna. One of naraku's minions.

Something about the kid was certainly eerie and kagome took a few steps back. The kid said nothing only continued to advance on her. She wasn't sure what to do; she looked around on the kid for a weapon of any sort. He had nothing.

The boy continued to stare at the ground and kagome vaguely wondered why he was doing so. Then she remembered…the village! Maybe he was the reason why the small village was so quiet and lifeless.

Kagome had to figure a way out of this. With nothing to defend herself and no one to help it was beginning to look like definitely a bad situation. Where in the world was Sesshomaru?

Suddenly the kids head shot straight up and he looked into Kagome's eyes. She tried to look away but could not the world seemed to spin the longer she stared at him; he slowly pulled a knife from his kazana and made the rest of the way over to her. With one swipe he cut across her chest.

The breathe escaped her lungs in a loud whoosh, and as she stood there bleeding to death she still could not look away from him. Her words wouldn't form and her legs wouldn't move. Kagome prepared for death as he raised the knife intending to strike the final blow. 'Sorry Inuyasha' she thought sadly, before it hit her chest however a clawed hand shot out of nowhere and grabbed his wrist.

All kagome could see was white hair. As she saw the kid get knocked into a tree he suddenly disappeared. Kagome was broken from her trance and clasped her hand to her chest. The pain was unbearable; she looked down to see a puddle of blood beneath her.

Black masses swam in her vision and she tried in vain to keep her eyes open. The last thing she saw before falling into her blood was Sesshomaru picking her up.

"Inuyasha?" Shippo asked as he sat next to him in Kaede's hut. "Shouldn't kagome already have been here? It is the end of the seventh day, right?"

Inuyasha nodded. "Yeah, I don't know what's taking her so damn long. We have shards to find and Naraku to destroy so she needs to hurry back…"

Sango and Miroku walked through the door both looking confused. "What's wrong with you too?" Inuyasha asked.

"Inuyasha? Kagome did take her things to her world right?" Sango asked. Inuyasha nodded, "Pretty sure, why?" Sango held up her yellow bag, by the looks of it it was full.

Inuyasha's breathe hitched. What had happened to Kagome?

"Kagome didn't make it to her time did she Inuyasha?" Miroku asked with a pain to his voice. Inuyasha looked over the bag; it didn't look like it had been used at all since her picking it up.

"Kagome's been kidnapped!" Shippo yelled. He then proceeded to cry.

"Damn, it must have been because of Junishi… this isn't good." Inuyasha stated, "This isn't good at all...we have to find her."

Everyone nodded in agreement and they quickly left to search.

When Kagome awoke she heard Childs laughter and an aggravated high pitched voice. "But master Jaken, you said you'd play with me while I waited for kagome to get up..." Rin whined.

"Shut up impudent girl, I promised no such thing." Jaken argued back. Rin smiled cheerfully and grabbed his arm,"Rin won't take no for an answer." She cried.

Kagome smiled at the little girl's stubbornness. She suddenly remembered the child in the clearing and looked down at her wound. It had been bandaged…by whom? Also…she had NO shirt on!

She shrieked and bolted up. This action made her yelp with pain,' ok maybe I shouldn't have done that,' she told herself.

"Make sure to reopen your wounds before they heal, dumb girl," came a cold voice. Kagome looked behind her to see Sesshomaru. He looked unscathed, unharmed. She suddenly grew very angry. "Where did you go exactly?" she said a little loudly.

Sesshomaru just glared at her. "Oh so you get to question me and yell at me and I can't do it to you?" still no answer.

His silence was bone chilling but Kagome didn't care she was very indeed angry that he would leave her there to get killed by a kid that's eyes sucked you in.

"I could've died… don't you care even a little?" she asked lower this time. Not a thing came from Sesshomaru.

The ignorance he was giving her was making her blood boil. "Oh that's right THIS Sesshomaru only cares for himself…"

She got a response out of him then. He had picked her up by her biceps and dug his poison nails into her arms. Kagome flinched and tried vainly to nudge away from him.

"Its not my fault you are careless you useless human fool." At those words he flung her unceremoniously to the ground. She looked at him her eyes filled with tears. He smirked down at her and surprisingly answered her question. "I caught the scent of Naraku and followed it, it led me in circles and then back to the hut."

Kagome looked down too embarrassed to look at him any further. He certainly was an individual who made people belittle themselves.

"We will go back to your group tomorrow and your ERA and receive your items you will be needing, Understand?"Kagome nodded understanding perfectly.

After he walked out of the trees Kagome put her head in her hands and started crying. 'This isn't how this was supposed to be…' she sobbed.

A few more minutes of crying and kagome laid down. Her thoughts went everywhere to Inuyasha, Sango, Shippo, Miroku and what they were doing. Her thoughts also drifted to the little boy in the clearing, he seemed a formidable foe. Which was not good, they had enough of those.

Finally sleep overtook her. The dreams followed soon after.

Another chapter COMPLETED.
