The Naraku Saga Chapter 6 Dragon Balls and Kidnapping, a dragon ball z fanfic

Goten later awakens in another room. He tries to move but his chest ached so much. "What happened?" he whispered. He barely had the strength to talk. Chichi walked in. "Goten?" she asked worried as she ran by his bed sight. "Oh good your awake." She said. He tries to move again but he just fell back down and moaned a little. "Take it easy son. It's going to be ok." She said to him. "Mom? What happened? Why does my chest hurt so bad?" he asked. "You don't remember Goten?" she asked. "Your father told me that some demon named Naraku poisoned you."

"Naraku?" Goten repeated the named then it started to ring a bell. "Oh yeah, he was after Kikyo! Where is she mom? Is she ok?" he asked. "Right here." He heard Kikyo's voice. She was coming in the room. "How's my little patient?" she asked Chichi. "He's a little restless, just like his father and brother." Chichi said smiling. "Well at least he's acting normally." Kikyo said as she sat down on the bed next to him. "I'm awfully sorry Goten." She said. Goten and Chichi looked at her confused. "If it weren't for me Naraku wouldn't have targeted you." She said as she hung her head down. "This whole mess is my fault. Forgive me. I never wished for this to happen."

"Don't blame yourself Kikyo." Chichi said sitting down next to her. "If it weren't for you Goten would be dead right now. Right now his safety is all that matters." Placing her hands on Kikyo's, just realizing how cold Kikyo's hands are. "Wow we should get some warmer clothes for you; your hands are like ice." Chichi said. Kikyo smiled. "I already told you I'm dead didn't I?" she said and looked away. "Hey Kikyo?" Goten asked for her and pulled on her sleeve. "Yes Goten?"

"Kikyo can I feel?" he asked. She smiled and reached out her hand like with Trunks. Goten feels her skin lightly his fingers laced with her lightly. Kikyo smiled lightly at him and he smiled back. Chichi smiled as she watched these two. 'This might be good for Goten…' She thought. '…And perhaps good for Kikyo.'

Kikyo walks down with Chichi as Trunks runs up the stairs. "Hey Kikyo can I go see Goten now." He asked. "Sure but if he gets too tired let him rest ok."

"If too rest got it!" he repeated her a little then he ran up the stairs. "The never grow up do they?" Chichi asked Kikyo as they continued to walk down the stairs. "I suppose not." Kikyo smiled. 'This is the first time in 1,000 years I've been treaded like I was alive.' As they reach another room where Goku and the others are and it looks like they are having a meeting. There where no couches so Denda put large pillows in there to sit on. Gohan sat next to Videl to his left. To her right were Krillin and #18, then Yamcha, then Tien and Chiaotzu next to him. Vegeta and Piccolo leaned against two different walls and Denda sat a pillow a few seats away from Goku. "How did that demon get up here anyway?" Denda asked. "Beats me!" Krillin said. "What kind of demon was that thing anyway?" Tien asked. "It's a shadow demon, more commonly known here as the boogie man." Kikyo said as she waked into the group. "They usually feed of the life energy of other creatures until their victims are dead. Their most favorite thing they feast upon are small children. They're not particularly bright, perfect for pawns." Kikyo found a place on the floor to sit next to Piccolo who leaned against the wall. "That doesn't explain how it got up here." Vegeta said. "It locked on Goten's shadow." Kikyo said. "His shadow?" Videl asked. Kikyo nodded. "Some people think if they leave the area the boogie man can't get to him but that far from true. They lock to their victim's shadow and eat while their asleep."

"So Naraku had the shadow demon lock on Goten's shadow, to finish off Goten for him." Piccolo said. "This Naraku knows what he's doing doesn't he?" Krillin asked. "Naraku is always one or two steps head of his appoints. But if we can get the secret jewel before he does we might have a chance to destroy him once and for all." Kikyo said. "But where is this secret jewel?" Gohan asked. "The only one who would know that would be Kami." Kikyo said looking at Piccolo. "You fused with him so do you have any of Kami's memories?" Kikyo asked. "Slightly, mostly common memories. Memories like of the secret jewel, you and Naraku are practically ancient. I wish I could have more of Kami's memories then maybe I would remember where he hid the jewel." Piccolo said. Kikyo started to think, resting her right elbow on her leg as she stroked her chin with her hand. 'Where could he have hidden it?'

"Mr. Popo?" Denda called for him. Mr. Popo entered the room. "You called sir?" he asked. "Do you know where the last guardian Kami hid the secret jewel?" Denda asked. "The secret jewel? Oh you mean the Shikon-no-Tama or also known as the Secret Jewel of the Four Souls?" he clarified with Denda. Denda nodded. "I'm afraid not. The secret jewel was so powerful and dangerous not even I was aloud to know the whereabouts of where he had hidden it. Kami was very discrete about it when he spoke to me but I do remember that it was once here along with its new guardian." He explained. Kikyo looked at him curiously. "New guardian?" Goku asked. "When I was alive I protected and purify the secret jewel. So they picked a new guardian for it." Kikyo explained. "Mr. Popo, can you tell us who is it who's protecting the jewel now?" Denda asked. "I didn't get to see the person's face but I could tell that it was a young woman about your age or younger." Mr. Popo said. "That can't be! If they picked a human to project the jewel 1,000 years ago then she be dead by now!" Vegeta said. "Unless she was already dead." Kikyo stated. "Then Kami placed another sector to protect the jewel?" Piccolo asked.

"That or he left it to a type of demon or creature that looked human." Tien said. "That would make a lot more sense."

"Mr. Popo did you catch anything about what the woman looked like?" Denda asked. "Only that she had long black hair and she was covering her face with a coat made from the hair of the fire rat." Mr. Popo said. Kikyo knows that prescription. "I see, so he chose Kagome?" Kikyo said. The group looked at her. "Who's Kagome?" Goku asked. "Kagome is my reincarnation. Born with my powers and soul. When the demon Urasue created my body, she took my soul out of Kagome's body, but after my assault on Inuyasha she was able to call back most of my soul to her body. Either she's still alive somehow or she's a specter now like me. Either way she's the one we must find if we are to find the jewel."

"So we look for someone who looks just like you?" Yamcha asked. "Not exactly but close, she younger then I am and she's also a bit louder as well." Kikyo explained then stood up. "I best go check on Goten." She said as she left. "The watch her leave when Vegeta says. "She shouldn't be here at all. She dead don't' forget. Why should she be aloud to roam when we had to go to other world when we died Kakarot?"

"He does make a good point Goku. She's been dead for over 1,000 years. Not to mention she has to live off the souls of dead women in or to remain here in living world. Should we make her go back?" Yamcha asked. "She's the only one here that knows about Naraku and his past. We need her for this battle. Besides she saved my son's life I owe her guys." Goku responded. "Maybe Kami had the location written down or something? Just in case of situations like this?" Denda asked Mr. Popo. "Its possible I'll go check the inventory of knowledge." He said as he turned around. "The inventory of knowledge?" everyone but Denda asked.

Kikyo walks in Goten's room holding a wooden bowl to with hear him and Trunks laughing about something the Goten holding his chest from pain. "Didn't I tell you to take it easy?" Kikyo said as she came in. "Sorry Kikyo." Goten said as she sat down on the bed next to him and helps him sit up so she can look at that wound. She pulls his shirt off and unwrap the bandages. "I'm going to try some new herbs I've found in Mr. Popo's garden. It might sooth the pain a little." She said as she finished unwrapping and grabs some of the liquid from the bowl and rubs it on his wound. He squints a little from the pain. "I thought it's suppose to help with the pain?" he aid. "Now now, big boys don't complain." She said as she finishes up. "Now we rewrap this with clean bandages and we won't need to change them again until lunch time."

"So what happens now Kikyo?" Trunks asked. Kikyo looks at him confused. "I mean what are you going to do? You are technically dead so you won't be aloud to stay with us long will you?" he asked. Kikyo smiles and continues rewrapping Goten up. "I'm kind of a fugitive of the other world. I refuse to go back. My spirit cannot rest in peace until I see Naraku dead." She tells him as she finishes and puts Goten shirt back on him. Goten looked said for a sec then he thinks of something that makes him laugh, then Kikyo and Trunks look at him confused. "Hey I got it I know how to fix everything. We can bring you back to life." Goten. Kikyo just stared at her for a second. "You make that sound possible?" Kikyo asked. "But it is possible. Hasn't you ever heard about the dragon balls?" Trunks asked. "Dragon balls?" Kikyo looked her surprised. "In this world we have something called the dragon balls, there are seven of them in all and anyone who gathers all 7 of these balls can make 2 wishes. We can use one of the wishes to bring you back to life. They can't take you to other world if you're not dead right?"

"So these balls are real? Have you seen anyone use these balls before?" Kikyo asked. "That's right. We've used them before too. That would fix all of your problems." Trunks said. "And this dragon can bring the dead back to life?" Kikyo asked. "That's right." Goten said. Kikyo thinks about this for a second. "What if it fell into the wrong hands?" she asked. "Well it could mean the end of the universe I guess. This one guy Garlic Jr. used it to give him eternal life and my brother fought him and…" Goten went on and on about it while Kikyo thought about this. 'If Naraku knows about these dragon balls then we might be in serious trouble. However we can use them to our advantage.

"What are you thinking about Kikyo?" Trunks asks. "I'm thinking we can use the dragon balls to give us a map to the location of the secret jewel." She said. "But want about bring you back to life?" Goten asked. "It would be a good idea Goten once Naraku is destroyed. However if I did that it would make me human again, which means I would begin to age again which I can't afford until Naraku is dead. It is a nice thought, to be able to be human again. That would be a nice plan after I destroy Naraku. However I know how to use these two wishes to my advantage to destroy him once and for all." She looks at the two boys. "Boys how do you locate the dragon balls?" she asks. "With my mom's dragon radar. It a little hand held device that can pin point the dragon balls locations." He said. "Is it here?" she asks. "I'm not sure, I'll go check." He said as he got up and ran out of the room. Kikyo and Goten watch him leave the room and when he gone Goten asks, "Kikyo once we defeated Naraku and make you human again, you will stay here with us won't you?"

Kikyo looks at him and smiles. "I can't think of anywhere else I would want to be Goten." She said rubs his head. "Cool then maybe you can live with us until we can defeat Naraku?" he asked her. She smiles at him and nods, "If it's ok with your mother and father then that won't be a problem." She said. Then all of a sudden her face turns serious as she looks about the room. Goten looks at her confused, "What's the matter Kikyo?" he asks. Kikyo stands up and looks around. 'This can't be!" she thought to herself as she try to sense where its coming from. Then her eyes grow big from shock as she ran to Goten and picks him up quickly, "We got to leave now." She runs for the door. "Kikyo what's wrong?" he ask again. As she reaches for the door knob it turns purple and melts right in front of her. She wraps her free arm around Goten's back as she backed away. "What is that?" Goten asks. Kikyo glares for a second trying to find another exit. Then a familiar voice chuckles and says, "There's no escape for you both Kikyo."

"Hey that sounds like!" Goten said as he tries to look around too. "Dam you Naraku!" Kikyo said as she takes three steps back when she sees the liquid door now turns into his miasma. "Goten cover your mouth! Don't breathe in his Miasma!" she said as she covers her mouth. Goten does the same as well. Kikyo looks around trying to find where Naraku is hiding. 'How did he find this place?' she thought. She looked for some for of an exit but find nothing, and she didn't have her bow or arrows. Goten moans in pain and places his hand on his wound 'Goten doesn't have his strength back yet so I can't put him down and risk Naraku getting a hold on him again. What can I do now?' she thought

In another room down stairs, Trunks is getting the dragon radar from his bag. "Ah ha here it is." He said as he grabs it and puts it in his pocket. Unknown to him however stands a dark shadow behind him. It grabs him by around the waist and the other hand wraps around his mouth, hushing any screams. Trunks tries to pull the strong hand off of his mouth and struggle to get away but this kidnapper's grip was too strong for him

This thing chuckles with what sounds like a female's voice and pulls him close and whispers. "Listen carefully you are coming with me. If you make so much as a peep I'll let the miasma kill you friend and the specter. They'll be joining us shortly just be sure to keep your mouth shut. Nod once if you understand?"

Trunks didn't know what to do. This was the first time anyone has ever kidnapped him before. He could let this thing hurt Goten and Kikyo, so he just nodded once. "That's a good boy." The voice said as took out a please of cloth and covered his moth with it, causing him to pass out.

This is when Goku and the other can feel Naraku's present inside Kami's lookout. "What that's impossible! How did he get here?" Krillin yelled. "He's upstairs where Kikyo and the boys are!" Goku yelled as he ran up the stairs. Vegeta as about to follow when he notices Trunks energy signal was leaving the lookout. He runs outside and sees what looks like a giant feather leaving with Trunks unconscious on it. "Trunks!" he yelled as he went after him but a gush of wind got in his way. He tries but it over comes him and blow him into a wall. When it finally cleared Trunks is gone.

Meanwhile upstairs Goku and the other get to Goten's room see that its' melted into the liquid version of the miasma. "Kikyo! Can you hear us? Are you and Goten all right?" Goku yelled. "We're alright for now but Goten won't be able to hand the miasma for very long." she said, backing away from the door. She notices that the liquid starts to fall on the floor and heads towards them. Kikyo then bumps into something and she turns around quickly to see Naraku. "Of course the shadow demon, it was a way to find our hiding place wasn't it?" she said as her grip on Goten got tighter. "You are correct. Now I'm here to finish what I started." He grabs Kikyo's hands pull them away from Goten making her drop him. She tries to brake free from Naraku's grip to see if Goten's alright but Naraku pulls her in tighter wrapping one arm around her and putting on hand on her shoulder so she can't push him away.

In her ear his whispers, "Onigumo wished to see this side of you remember, he wished to see you apprehensive and frightened. He also wished for one more thing, remember? He wished to have you. For all these years he earned to touch you like this." He released her shoulder to tough her face, his fingers simply strokes her cheek slightly, and it goes down to her chin and grabs it forcing her in a deep lustful kiss. Kikyo placed her hand on his shoulders trying to force him off her. When he was done he lets go of her mouth but keeps one arm wrapped around her waist. "Let me go!" she yelled trying to brake free from his grip. He looks down at little Goten who's lying down on the floor, "Your greatest weakness has always been your love of children hasn't it Kikyo. After you planned to turn Inuyasha into a human you wanted to start and raise a family all your own." He grabs Goten waist and carried him under his shoulder. "I won't allow you to live much longer. You will die after I get the secret jewel, and that other boy gave me the perfect way for me to get it without getting my hands dirty." He said.

He looked at the door the miasma disintegrates allowing the others to look inside. Goku looks surprised to see Kikyo in Naraku's arms but it came apparent that it wasn't of her choice. Then he sees Goten under Naraku's other arm. Goku charges at Naraku trying to lay a punch on the demon but his punch hits Naraku's barrier. "Was that an attempt to save your son here? In that case you'll just have to do better if you wish to defeat me Goku."

"You monster!" Goku said. "In the mean time I'll be taking your son. I already have the son of the all mighty Prince Vegeta."

Vegeta walks in proudly and looks straight at Vegeta, "Listen very carefully Naraku! If you harm one hair on my son's head and you'll be wishing for death!" Vegeta said as he looks at Naraku straight in the eyes. "Relax Vegeta if you ever wish to see your son again and the same thing applies to you too Goku, wait for my demands. I'll be sending a messenger at sundown tomorrow." Naraku laughs as he disappears with both Kikyo and Goten. The echo of his laughter still last long after he completely disappears.
