Disclaimer: I make no money doing this since I don't own Inuyasha. I just get the pleasure of writing.

Inuyasha grabbed his phone as he darted out of the ballroom. He would know that scent anywhere. Naraku had found him. He wasn't sure how, but he had to admit, he hadn't been particularly careful when he had snuck out to see Kagome. He left her, just standing there on the dance floor. He was pretty sure Naraku hadn't seen him with her, but he knew he had to call his brother.

The phone rang, for what seemed like an eternity before someone finally picked up. Inuyasha recognized the voice instantly.

"Jakostu," Inuyasha barked, "Where's my brother?"

"Oh hey Inuyasha," Jakotsu sang into phone. "How are things going? How's you're makeup holding out?"

"Not now dumbass," Inuyasha snapped. "Where is my brother?"

"Oh," Jakotsu's frown was evident in his voice. "I see, all business today. Well he's not in the office, you want me to try and patch you through to his cell?"

"Yes," Inuyasha said with a sigh of relief. The line went silent before the cheesy muzak started piping though. Inuyasha waited for his brother to pick up, but was disappointed when Jakotsu's voice came back on the line.

"It seems his phone is off," Jakotsu said "You want to leave a message, sweetie?" Inuyasha had to refrain from throwing the phone against the wall.

"Yeah," Inuyasha said dejectedly. "Tell him we've been found out." Jakotsu was silent for a minute before saying.

"I'm sending in an extraction team," and with that he hung up. Inuyasha felt a little better knowing that some back up was on the way, but he had no idea how long it would take for them to get here. He took a deep breath and poked his head back into the ballroom. He was greeted by two familiar faces. Miroku and Sango stood right in front of him, Miroku looking worried.

"I can't find Kagome," Sango said. "You were dancing together one minute and then the next she was gone. I'd hoped you to had snuck out for a quickie but…" her voice trailed off, veiled in concern.

"She was dancing with your 'friend'" Miroku said using air quotes around friend. Inuyasha's heart stopped. Naraku had seen him with Kagome, and took Kagome to make a point. Inuyasha started to swear as he paced. "We have to come clean man," Miroku said with a fierce but pained look in his eyes. Miroku turned to Sango and took her hand in his. "You're really not going to like this."

Kagome's head pounded as she came to. The smell of the chloroform still burned in her nose. She had realized what was going on to late to do anything to stop it. She peered around the room that she had woken up in. It was the sparing room, she knew that much. But it was almost pitch black in the room. She tried staring into the darkness to see if she could catch any movement, but she saw nothing.

Suddenly all of the lights came on and she squinted against the light. Once her eyes had adjusted, she saw that she was laying on a mat and not five feet from her was her captor, the man who had asked her to dance, sitting rather comfortably in a chair. He just stared at her, with unblinking eyes and a look of smug condemnation on his face. Kagome knew she had to play this right. She took a deep breath and steeled her nerves.

"Seriously," Kagome laughed out loud, actually sounding way more confident than she felt. "The only thing that could have made that entrance more cliché was if you had turned around in a spinning chair petting a cat." The man still stared. Kagome tried to give him the same disdainful look that he was giving her, but she was pretty sure she failed. So she kept at plan A, sound super cocky.

"So let me guess," she said standing up crossing her arms indignantly over her chest "You're going to hold me captive until you get something you want." She peered into a corner of the room and saw a lifeless Kagura laying in a shriveled hump in the corner. "So what," Kagome continued prodding but she was getting angry now. "You like to beat on women, is that it?" She pointed to Kagura in the corner and she prayed that her friend was ok. The man turned ever so slightly to peer at the unconscious woman, before turning his attention back to her. He finally opened his mouth to speak.

"Do you know who I am?" he said.

"Yeah, you're that mobster that is all over the news."

"My name," he sighed as if exasperated "Is Naraku."

"Whatever," Kagome smirked. Ok so plan A was clearly bothering Naraku. Keep it she thought Just don't push it too far.

"Do you know why you are here?" Naraku said in a cold smooth voice that gave Kagome the shivers.

"Cause you're some sort of freaky perv?" Kagome said before she thought about it. Maybe not the best thing to say she mentally chided herself. Naraku just smiled.

"If anyone is a 'freaky perv'," he said "It's your boyfriend."

"What do you mean?"

"You mean you don't know that Inuyasha likes to dress up in women's clothes?" Suddenly the truth came crashing down on Kagome, it was only her training that allowed her to keep an impassive face. She felt like an idiot. She should have known better than to fall for something as stupid as this. When she found him, if she survived this, she was going to kill him…slowly.

"Oh," she said trying to sound like an idiot. "You must be confusing Inuyasha with his sister, Inuotome."

"No," Naraku said still smirking "They are the same person."

"You mean," Kagome said crinkling her brow "Cause they're twins? That they look like the same person?" Naraku scowled at her.

"Are you dense girl? What part of they are the same person don't you get?" Kagome stared at him as if struggling to process the information.

"So what you're saying," Kagome said slowly. "Is that they're the same person."

"Yes," Naraku said exasperated

"Cause they're twins." Kagome finished. It appeared that Naraku had reached his patience limit, in the blink of an eye he had closed the distance between them and had wrapped his hand around her throat. Kagome sputtered trying to breath. She closed her eyes, and sent her power coursing through her body to where Naraku's hand was around her throat. She focused, and sent her power coursing through his body like electric current.

Naraku made a very unmanly yelp of pain and dropped her so that she was sent crashing to the practice mat below her. She gasped for breath and rubbed her throat trying to revive the circulation. When she had somewhat recovered she spared a glance at Naraku, he was nursing a stump where his had used to be. Smirking with pride, she stood up. She wished she had her bow, but she'd have to do without.

She watched in horror as a root like tentacles shot from his stump fly at her with the utmost speed. She barely had time to dodge, before sending a shockwave of her spiritual power back at him. It did nothing. Kagome was shocked, until she realized he had erected a barrier of some sort. She knew she couldn't break the barrier without her bow, so she changed her tactics. She just had to hold him off until someone came for her. It wouldn't be long now right?

Inuyasha had retrieved Miroku a pair of jeans, staff and his own sword while Miroku stood there taking a beating from Sango. She had been pissed. Not necessarily that they had lied, but more at Miroku's constant groping and flirting.

"You're a goddamned pervert!" he heard Sango scream as he approached the bathroom where the pair were.

"There's really a double standard here," Miroku said attempting a defense as Inuyasha darted in, throwing the clothes at his friend. "You let me touch you as a girl, but once you find out I was a guy…" the rest of Miroku's sentence died in this throat, Sango threw a tricky right hook that knocked Miroku off his feet and sent him back into the bathroom wall.

Inuyasha threw the clothes to Miroku and then turned his attention to Sango. She was already dressed in the traditional slayers uniform, a skin tight black cat suit with armor placed in strategic places. Her giant boomerang slung over her shoulder and Kagome's bow and quiver at her side.

"Where on earth did you get that?" Inuyasha asked. "I mean I was only gone for a minute."

"Slayers motto, be prepared." Sango said.

"Isn't that they boy scout motto?" Inuyasha asked. Sango glared at him and he shut up.

"Thanks to you and pervy over there," Sango jerked her thumb at Miroku, "My best friend has been kidnapped." Her voice grew deathly quiet as she continued "And if she dies, I will not hesitate to kill you, no matter who your brother is." Inuyasha just nodded. He understood her protectiveness, but Inuyasha had already vowed he would not loose her. He was already beating himself up pretty fiercely for not watching Kagome better. This was all his fault.

Miroku walked out of a stall having changed his clothes. "What do we do now?' he asked.

"We find Naraku, and get Kagome away from him." Inuyasha said simply, praying that it would be as easy as that, but he knew better. He turned his nose to the air, and began trying to find Kagome's scent. The small group followed him as he followed his nose to the gym. Inuyasha pointed and everyone understood. He took a deep breath and kicked in the door.

What he saw, made him want to scream. Kagome was out of breath, bruised and bloody on the floor, with Naraku advancing on her. He lunged at Naraku, his sword arching over his head, but when he brought the sword down it stopped almost a foot away from Naraku's head, and then Inuyasha was shot back with a force that he hadn't expected. He landed on his feet, 10 yards from Naraku.

"Well, well, well," he heard Naraku's smooth voice "How did you enjoy your time as the fairer sex?" He turned his head to look at Inuyasha, with a cruel smirk on his face.

"It was better than you'd think," Inuyasha shrugged. "You should try it sometime." Naraku burst out laughing, the sound sending chills down Inuyasha's spine. Inuyasha watched as Naraku turned his back on Kagome, and Inuyasha was relieved to see Miroku and Sango sneak behind him to check on Kagome. Miroku gave Inuyasha a thumbs up, signaling that Kagome was ok. Sango placed Kagome's arm around her shoulders and helped her up, trying to get her as far away from Naraku as possible.

"And what makes you think that I'll ever try being a girl?" Naraku said still laughing, apparently oblivious to what was happening behind him.

"I hear that the guys in prison like the," Inuyasha paused for effect "more feminine looking guys." Naraku's smile had been wiped off his face.

"What make's you think that I'm going to prison, half demon?" Naraku sneered.

Inuyasha shrugged. He watched what was going on over Naraku's shoulder and knew that it was his job to buy time. "Maybe it's the murder, maybe it's the kidnapping, maybe it's the assault. Not sure really, but something tells me you're either going to die, or never breathe free air again."

"And why is that?"

Kagome's voice rang out clear as a bell, "Naraku!" she screamed. Naraku spun around to find the priestess not where she had been but on the other side of the gym. As soon as he had locked eyes on her, Kagome let an arrow fly. The arrow flew across the gym in the blink of an eye, and collided with Naraku's barrier and the smug smile was wiped off his face when he realized that the arrow was cracking his barrier.

Inuyasha too that moment of distraction to signal to everyone to use the distraction to attack. Sango leaped forward hurling her boomerang, Miroku ran forward slamming his staff down on the barrier and Inuyasha took a mighty swing with his sword. All of the added pressure in addition to Kagome's arrow caused the barrier to shatter.

The four friends renewed their assault, working together just as they had in all their sparing matches they systematically attacked, loping off limbs and causing massive damage. Naraku however seemed nonplussed. For every limb they hacked another grew to replace it. He was toying with them now, and Inuyasha knew it. They were getting tired. The constant dodging and attacking exhausting them.

Inuyasha had even pulled out the big guns, but neither his Wind Scar or his Backlash Wave would do more than middling damage to Naraku, and just when everything seemed lost, Kagura had appeared.

Authors note: Hyper baby and no sleep make ChaCha really crazy. I know this is an awful place to stop, but I need sleep. Personally I thought parts of this chapter were hysterical! But I don't know if that's the two pots of coffee talking or not. Review and let me know that you think. Thanks again to everyone who reviewed and added this to their alert lists. Hugs and kisses all!
