Chapter 10

~in inuyasha's camp~

The group seemed to be lost without the two females, Kikyo, not wanting to take Kagome's place just kinds sat and looked at the guys in the group the four of them seemed to be moping around. "The four of you need to get up, so we can get moving," Kikyo said.

Kouga looked at Kikyo with longing eyes, "what if we move and they return," he asked.

"I highly doubt that he will let them go that easily," she said.

"I miss Kagome," Shippo sniffed.

"We all miss Kagome," Rin said, "but sitting around wishing, and waiting, won't bring them back."

"And what do you purpose we do little one," Kikyo asked.

"I don't know," Rin said, "but maybe I can help you start breakfast."

"That sounds like a wonderful idea," Shippo said, "can I help?"

"Of course you can," she said, "you can go gather some fire wood."

"Yes mam," Shippo said running off towards the tree like.

"Why don't you go with his," she said to Kouga, "wouldn't do any good to lose him too."

"Miko," Sesshomaru said, "What are you doing."

"I'm trying to help," Kikyo said, "after everything that kagome has done for me, the least I can do is help you guys not fall apart until we find her or until she returns to us."

"You said before that she's just a stupid reincarnation," Inuyasha said, "I thought you didn't like her."

"regardless of what I think about her, or what she thinks about me, she would still help weather it benefited her or not," Kikyo said, "I want to be like Kagome, I guess I was just envious that she's alive and by your side and I'm neither of those things."

"We'll worry about that later," Inuyasha said, "right now we need to get up and moving, we have to find kagome and Sango before Naraku does something horrible to them."

At the same time kagome and Sango were just waking up from their slumber, "Sango," Kagome said.

"I'm here," Sango said.

"Oh good," kagome said, "Where are we."

"I don't know," Sango said.

"I can answer that," Kagura said, "you were taken by Naraku, for what purpose I am unsure."

"Why," Sango asked.

"All will be answered in due time," Kagura said, "but sit tight and I'm sure that Naraku himself will answer your questions."

Kagome moved closer to Sango and she tried to wrap her arms around her friend. After a few moments a figure walked into the room, they couldn't see his face. He walked over to the girls and stood silently, "make sure to take Sango first," Naraku said, "otherwise I'll be suspicious."

"What do you want me to do to her," the figure asked.

"Do whatever you like to her, just do it as her beloved," Naraku said.

"Yes I understand," the figure said walking out of the room, and then he turned and said, "I'll leave kagome to you."

The figure looked down at the females clinging to one another. He reached forward and pulled Sango to her feet and dragged her kicking and screaming out of the room. "You won't get away with this," she screamed, "When I get free I'll rip you apart."

Kagome screamed after her, and tried to grab her hand but since she was restrained to the wall it was a little difficult to do. She yanked at her chains well after the stranger and her friend were gone. She didn't stop trying until she heard a familiar voice.

Ku, ku, ku "Miko, you think you can escape me," Naraku asked.

"What did you do with Sango," kagome screamed.

"She is being well taken care of," Naraku said, "most likely."

"What is that supposed to mean," she asked.

"You'll see," Naraku said, "weather she'll be all in one piece I don't yet know."

"Let me go," She yelled, "let me go now."

Naraku pulled her to her feet, he now had one arm around her waist and his other hand holding her chin, making her face him. "Now, now, "that's no way to talk to your captor is it?'

"Please," she cried, "let me go."

"That's better," Naraku said, "but no, I won't."

He let go of her and she fell onto the floor. She didn't cry she just looked at him like she was going to murder him. He laughed and left the room, 'your time will come,' he said to himself.

~with Sango~

"Where are you taking me," she yelled, there was no response. She stopped trying to talk since the stranger wasn't speaking a word in return.

They entered a large room, in which there was a bed. "What are you planning to do?" she asked trying to back away. When the stranger turned around, he had the face of Miroku. "No I know you're not miroku," she screamed, "there's no way."

"Be quiet," the figures said, "and sit on the bed."

"Why," Sango asked.

"Do it," the figure said, "or I'll make you."

"Alright," Sango said. She did as she was told and sat on the bed.

"Are you hurt anywhere," the figure asked.

"No, I don't believe so," Sango said.

"Good," the figure said, "change into this." He handed her a blue silk robe. "Do it or I'll make things worse for you?"

"Can you turn around?" she asked. The figure turned around, while she slipped out of her clothes and into the silk robe. "I'm done," she said.

"Good now rest," the figure said, "I will be back with something nourish yourself with."

She did as she was told, although she tried not to, she found herself very tired. She fell into a deep sleep, nothing would wake her now…

~In Sango's dreams~

"Sango," Miroku called, "are you awake."

"Yes," she said.

"What's wrong my love." He asked tenderly.

"I can't see you," she said, "I'm lonely."

"I'm right here my love," Miroku said.

"Come closer," she said, "I want you to lie next to me."

"Have I told you lately that I love you," Miroku asked.

"No," she said.

"I love you," Miroku said. He kissed her lips gently.

"Miroku," She said, "if this is a dream I never want to wake up."

"If this were a dream," Miroku said, "then it's the best dream I've ever had."

Meanwhile kagome was chained in a dark room. "Kagome dear," Naraku purred.

"What do you want," she spat.

"Don't be rude," Naraku said, "the way you treat me could be detrimental to your friend."

"What do you plan to do," she asked.

"That depends on you," Naraku said, he brought up an image. Sango was lying on a bed, seeming to be asleep; lying next to her was a person that looked like miroku.

"You can't fool me I know that's not miroku," kagome said, "what are you doing to her?"

"I'm doing nothing," Naraku said, "right now she is sleeping, dreaming of her darling Monk. Him just being next to her decides how the dream goes. If he wants he can turn it into a nightmare, right now she is having a lovely dream. I could turn it into a night mare; it's all up to you."

"What do you want from me," she asked.

"I want your dreams," Naraku said, "I want you."

"Why?" kagome asked disgusted.

"Because, you are the key," Naraku said, "now will you give yourself to me freely, or do I have to make the slayer scream in pain, before you decide."

She gulped; she closed her eyes and thought about Sesshomaru, Shippo, Rin and everyone else. What would they say, they would say 'no, save yourself,' but that just wasn't her way. So should she save herself or save Sango? The answer was easy.

"What do you want me to do?" she asked.

"Close your eyes," Naraku said, "this won't hurt."

She closed her eyes, and she started seeing visions of Naraku. Things she didn't want to see. She saw Naraku lying on top of herself; he was whispering sweet words into her ear. In fact he had implanted himself into all the scenarios in which she and Sesshomaru had been together intimately. She gagged, 'no,' she cried in her head. Tears ran down her cheeks, this isn't what she wanted, she wanted to throw up.

"There," Naraku said, "all done, isn't that better."

"No," she said.

"No," Naraku said, "you really wouldn't prefer someone else of lord Sesshomaru. What about Inuyasha? Would you prefer him?" he ran the same images through her head implanting Inuyasha and her together instead of Sesshomaru and her. She cried harder, she didn't want that either. "No huh?"

He left the room and went to seek out Sango, where she was sleeping; he switched places with the figure and sent him to kagome. "Do what you have to," he said, "Then show them the way back to camp."
"As you wish," the figure said.

He didn't like the way that Naraku was doing things, kagome was a very sweet girl, but if he didn't do things the way Naraku told him to, then he would lose his life. He couldn't help them if he lost his life. So now he would try to be a very convincing Lord Sesshomaru. Sure, she would know, but no doubt that she wouldn't be in her right mind after what she had just gone through. This would be easy, sure it would change everything that was meant to happen; but if he wanted to help her in the future than he had to do it.

"Kagome," the figure called.

"Sesshomaru," kagome asked, "wait you can't be, lord Sesshomaru never calls me by my given name."

"We have been looking everywhere for you," the figure said, "come it's time we leave."

"I'm not going anywhere with you," she said, "You're not the real Sesshomaru."

"How do you know," the figure asked.

"There are tons of reasons," she said.

"Would the real Sesshomaru do this," he leaned forward and kissed her hard on the lips. He kissed her so hard she landed on her back. He was lying on top of her smirking.

"No he wouldn't not get off me," she said, "leave me alone."

"I'm afraid I can't do that," he said. He pulled her into his lap and kissed her, he then turned into Inuyasha.

Her eyes bulged, "why are you doing this," she cried "why do you get pleasure from tormenting me."

"Because," the figure said, "I've fallen in love with you."

"What did you go and do something as stupid as that for," the real Inuyasha said.

"Inuyasha," kagome cried.

"Let her go," Inuyasha said, "or your dead."

"I'm sorry," the figure said, "but I can't do that."

"Let them go," Naraku said, "there will be plenty of time for games later."

After Naraku spoke everything disappeared, and it was just Kagome, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, miroku and Sango. Sango was lying on the ground sleeping, and Kagome was sitting on a rock.

"What the fuck," Inuyasha said, "what the hell just happened?"

"Miko," Sesshomaru said kneeling down, "are you alright."

She shook her head yes, "where's Sango?" she asked.

"I'm over here," Sango said.

"Are you alright my love," miroku asked.

"I'm fine, it was a bit scary at first, some guy who looked like you was being rude to me," she said, "I knew it wasn't you, and then I fell asleep, they were pleasant dreams. All in all I'm alright. Is kagome ok?"

"She said she's fine," Inuyasha said, "although I'm not entirely sure it's true."

"Where's Shippo and Rin?" kagome asked.

"Kikyo," Inuyasha said, "is keeping an eye on them along with Jaken and AhUn."

"Oh," kagome said wiping tears from her eyes, "that's good then, I was worried."

"Let go," miroku said.

"Wait where's Kouga," Sango asked.

"He's around," Inuyasha said, "I'm sure he'll be back at the camp before us."

Naraku watched as the group made their way back to the place where the others in their group were waiting. His plan was simple to him, although confusing to others. It was simple, now that he planted her mind with images, it would be hard for Lord Sesshomaru to get close to the Miko without scaring her. Every time she would daydream about Sesshomaru she would inadvertently see Naraku. Every time, he kissed her she would see Naraku and every time it happens Kagome will inadvertently push Sesshomaru away. EVERY TIME…

I believe that is my longest chapter ever. I hope you enjoyed it; I'm sure your mad at me for the turn of events. Please feel free to review and tell me how you feel, tell me how I'm doing. There may be a few grammar mistakes that the spell check didn't pick up. If so I'm sorry.

Thanks for reading

Ah yes I don't own Inuyasha or the characters except for the mysterious figure that can shape shift. He's all mine.
