A week passed without any incidents as the group traveled in search of Kikyo. Inuyasha and Kagome continued to grow closer and Shippo continued to study the book of magic that Inuyasha gave him. Miroku continued his usual antics of hitting on the women in every village they passed through. Unfortunately for them their peace didn't last long.
"We're getting closer, I can sense Kikyo's spiritual aura" Miroku said as they stopped in a clearing for a short break.
"Yeah I recognize her scent" Inuyasha said as he sat down next to Kagome. They began to drink their water and eat the few snacks they had left. Inuyasha was just relieved that this was almost over and he could get back to finding out how his father's sword worked.
"I smell another cat coming this way" Kagome suddenly said as her ears perked up.
"Who is that?" Shippo asked. They all looked up to see what appeared to be a woman wearing a black and pink body suit with some armor. Her hair was tied back and she wore a mask to cover her nose and mouth. The woman was riding on a large flying cat demon, and upon seeing them she zoned right in on Inuyasha, dismounting the cat and charging straight towards him with a huge boomerang-like weapon.
"You!", She shouted throwing her weapon at him. Inuyasha quickly ducked taking Kagome down with him to protect her as the large spinning projectile passed over them, circling around to where it returned to the strange attacker.
"That attire, are you a demon slayer" Miroku asked.
"And what the hell is your problem!" Inuyasha added standing up.
"You slaughter my people and now ask why I'm trying to kill you!" She tried throwing her weapon at him again. Inuyasha drew out tetsusaiga and repelled it.
"What are you talking about I haven't slaughtered anyone"
"Silence!", she tried attacking him again. They continued to fight though Inuyasha held back, because he knew she was obviously misinformed. Inuyasha told the others to stay back and not to interfere, and then tried to disarm the woman to get her to explain herself, but was having difficulty getting close enough. The woman eventually threw a smoke pellet at him and the area exploded with poisonous vapor. Inuyasha took the opportunity and used the smoke to sneak up behind her.
"Now you can die for what you did" she said staring at a figure she believed to be Inuyasha through the smoke, preparing to throw her weapon again.
"Rikujokoro" Inuyasha said from directly behind her as she felt a hand on her back. Before she could turn around six blue magical beams slammed around her body, pinning her arms down and trapping her where she stood.
"What, how did you?" she looked to where she thought he was and saw the smoke had cleared revealing a decoy made out of dirt, while the real one was directly behind her now.
"Now let's talk a moment" Inuyasha said to the trapped girl.
"Kirara!" she called to the large cat demon that descended and tried to attack Inuyasha.
"Too Obvious!" he shouted without looking at the charging cat, several chains shot out of the ground in front of Inuyasha catching the demon and dragging the cat to the ground.
"Now what the hell is going on?" he yelled.
"I'm here to kill you for murdering my family and all the other demon slayers" she said as she tried to break out of the magical binds.
"Why would I do that, I may not like the demon slayers, but I would never out right kill them" he said. Something didn't seem right here, why would this demon slayer be lead to believe that he would kill her people, it didn't add up. Who would frame him specifically and why? Inuyasha continued to ponder this, but was interrupted by Shippo running out of the woods screaming.
"Inuyasha! Kagome! Help!" he screamed as he hurried over to Inuyasha.
"Slow down kid what's going on ?" Inuyasha asked knelling down.
"Kagome has been taken!" the fox demon yelled.
"What did you say?" Inuyasha said sternly.
"That woman that attacked us a week ago, Kagura, she came and grabbed Kagome and took off into the sky with her", the boy explained.
Inuyasha just stared on as fury began to boil in his mind and he quickly calmed down to piece this all together. So this was all a distraction so Kagura could kidnap Kagome and take her to Naraku, and it worked. Not only that, but it appeared Naraku had the demon slayers killed except this one, and then must have somehow shifted the blame to Inuyasha so this girl would find him and keep him busy and away from Kagome.
"Shit!" he yelled.
"What's going on" Miroku said coming out of the forest.
"Naraku now has Kagome, that's what's going on" Inuyasha rubbed his head in frustration.
"What do we do now?" Shippo asked.
"We get Kagome back" Inuyasha said with authority.
"What about her Inuyasha?" Miroku gestured to the female demon slayer that was still trapped in Inuyasha's binding spell. The woman look worried for a moment thinking they were going to kill her now.
"I don't know yet"
Naraku's Castle (ominous thunder)
"You better let me go right now!" Kagome shouted from within a barred cell.
"I don't think so, not until I get what I want" Naraku said with a smirk from outside the cage. Everything was going according to plan, now that he had Kagome, he could use her as a bargaining tool to get the secret magic Inuyasha possessed. Not only his secret, but as long as he had this girl he could probably get the half demon to do whatever he wanted.
"I mean it when Inuyasha gets here you'll be sorry" Kagome said sounding more scared than confident.
"Oh please he doesn't even know where you are, and even if he did there's no way he could get through the barrier around my castle, it's hopeless for you" Naraku left the room laughing to himself while Kagome just sat there in the cage looking upset and scared at her current predicament.
"You better get here soon Inuyasha" Kagome whispered to herself, as she sat there she made a promise to herself that when Inuyasha saved her she would find a way to get stronger so she wouldn't ever have to worry her Inuyasha again.
Back with the group
Currently the group sat in a circle discussing all possible courses of action. Actual it was just Miroku and Shippo going back in forth over what they should do, while Inuyasha sat legs folded and eyes closed doing some form of meditation. That shocked them both into silence. Since they both knew how close Inuyasha and Kagome were, they were not expecting him to be so calm about this. Going by his personality Inuyasha should be shouting in fury and marching off to find her, but he didn't say a word he just continued to silently meditate.
The demon slayer currently sat tied to a tree with Inuyasha's magical chains a few feet away glaring at the white haired half demon. Before tying her up, Inuyasha had removed her face mask and all her hidden weapons, her demon cat Kirara was put unconscious by one of the half demons spells.
"What's your name?" Inuyasha suddenly broke from his meditation and turned to look at her.
"Why would you care?" she shot back. He just stared at her instead of reiterating the question, "Its Sango and why haven't you killed me yet, like you did my people?"
"I didn't kill your people"
"Why should I believe you halfbreed?" If Inuyasha looked offended by that he didn't show it, instead he walked over to stand directly in front of her. Sango looked up at him expecting him to end her life right then.
"I guess you won't believe me", he said sighing in annoyance as he felt the familiar presence of Kagura approaching them; "perhaps you'll believe someone else". Inuyasha reached into his magic pouch and pulled out a small brush that already had some fresh ink on it. He tried to draw something on Sango's forehead, but she panicked and tried to jerk her head away.
"Calm down, this is just a minor cloaking spell that will make you invisible for a moment" he said as he finished drawing a magical symbol on her forehead, Inuyasha watched her form completely vanish.
"Now sit still, shut up and pay attention!" he commanded. Just after Inuyasha had finished speaking Kagura had appeared with an amused expression on her face.
"Looks like you're not as clever as you thought" Kagura taunted him.
"I guess your master Naraku really outsmarted me here, so what does he want?" Inuyasha said with a fake smirk throwing his hands in the air.
"He wants the ritual and method you used to make Kagome, you tell me that, I'll take it back to Naraku and if it works then he will return the girl to you"
"Alright he wins I'll tell you the secret" Inuyasha said in a mock defeated tone, "But first tell me, did he kill all the demon slayers just to create a simple distraction for me with that girl".
"Of course it was the best method to set this all up" Kagura said.
"So this was his plan" Inuyasha said frowning.
"Of course it was, now stop wasting time talking about those insignificant humans and give me the secret" Kagura nearly shouted at him.
"Did you get all that Sango" he called over to the tree as the invisibility cast over the girl dissipated, revealing a shocked and despaired demon slayer as she realized she had been played by a different demon. Kagura suddenly gasped as she felt a clawed hand grab her by the throat and lift her in the air. She tried to use her fan, but Inuyasha smacked it out of her hand.
"I'm done fucking around here!" he snarled at her.
"Wait don't you want to know where Kagome is", Kagura choked out in a desperate plea for her life.
"You don't have anything more to say to me, I'll find her myself" Inuyasha said back still not releasing her.
"But you don't even know where she is" she argued losing consciousness.
"You idiot I gave Kagome the form she has now, you think I don't know where she is at this moment" he growled tightening his hold on the woman's neck watching her pass out before tossing her to the ground.
"Damn, I'm starting to turn into my brother" Inuyasha said looking at his hand. He snapped his fingers and released the spell binding Sango and her demon cat.
"What will you do now Inuyasha?" Miroku asked him.
"I meant what I said I know exactly where Kagome is", Inuyasha walked over to Kagura's prone form and began to drag her by the arm. "You all wait here I'll have her back before sunrise".
"Wait" Sango called, Inuyasha stopped and looked at her. "I just wanted to say I'm so-"
"Save it for when I get back" he cut her off and continued to drag the unconscious wind sorceress with him and disappeared into the night.
"So that's why he was meditating" Shippo commented.
Several Hours Later at Naraku's Castle
The evil half demon sat at a table waiting for his servant Kagura to return with the information he desired. Once he had that magic he could bring his plans to fruition. As for the girl Kagome, he had no intention of giving her back, after all with her in his possession he could have Inuyasha do whatever he wanted. The half demon obviously had some sort of romantic attachment to her, so that also makes him desperate to have her back. Naraku chuckled to himself thinking of who he could make the half demon kill for him.
He then realized that Kagura has been gone for a lot longer than he anticipated. She should have returned with Inuyasha's secret a while ago. He reached over and picked up the small mirror and attempted to find her with it. Unfortunately the mirror couldn't seem to locate her.
"Perhaps Inuyasha killed her in a fit of rage" he smiled to himself not caring in the least that his servant was possibly dead.
"Oh well it doesn't matter if he did. As long as I have Kagome then Inuyasha will have no choice, but to obey me" he then began to laugh, but it was interrupted by the sound of clapping.
"Oh my, your right", a voice from behind Naraku said, "Unless Inuyasha were to easily find you and slip through your barrier". Naraku turned around shocked to see the very same half demon Inuyasha standing in the door way looking at him. Naraku nervously took a step back when he looked at Inuyasha's face that appeared to be smiling; however the raw fury in his eyes was crystal clear. Inuyasha had murder on his mind as he stepped into the room to confront the bastard that dared try and take Kagome from him.
"Because if Inuyasha was here you would probably be completely fucked" Inuyasha said as he took another step towards him to emphasize just how much trouble was in store for the evil demon.
"So hello you must be Naraku, nice castle" Inuyasha's smile just got more murderous to Naraku's growing fear at being caught completely off guard.
Here you go updated, Its so late and I need a cup of tea. Yay so now Sango is here. Sorry to leave you with a cliff hanger. I know I ripped off that kido from bleach, but I'm running out of magic stuff. Until next time.
