I don't know how long it's been.

You wouldn't believe the different things I've tried to keep myself sane and occupied. I tried counting floor cracks, counting my pores, biting my nails, singing show tunes… nothing works.

I've been trapped in this cement filled, basement like room for a good while now. After Naraku had hung up on Inuyasha, he had forced Kagura to dress my wounds and feed me. He wasn't going to do anything, just make Inuyasha think he had. My bones weren't broken and they had injected me with something that healed me up in an hour. I'm guessing it was demon blood. By the way, that's totally illegal. Ever since the "Blood Frenzy" of '09, distributing demon blood without a license was now illegal.

It was basically like selling crack.

Not only would you have all injuries healed, but sometimes the demon blood had some side effects. Similar to those of taking drugs… so people started injecting themselves with demon blood. Not only were they frigging up their immune system and giving themselves long term diseases, the blood made being a demon (or having demon blood) a dangerous thing.

It was always, "I need some blood man." or "Can I have a sip of your blood?" or even "I want to suck on your wounds. Please let me."

Ridiculous…

Anyways, I'm stuck down here, in the dark, alone…

1 pore, 2 pores, 3 pores…

~:~

"Get Up!"

I rolled away when I heard the loud call. Naraku was back.

I felt him kick my back.

I said get up. Where is Inuyasha? He was supposed to be here by now!" he yelled at me. How the hell would I know?

"I've been stuck down here for days. How should I know?" I asked sarcastically.

"I think we should make a call," Naraku said. Now was my chance. Naraku was a half-demon. If I could time this right, I could get out of here. It took me 3,457 pores to realize this.

As soon as he was out of my circle of light, I closed my eyes and spread my spiritual energy all over the room.

"Dammit!" I heard.

When I stopped, I heard a thump, like a body hitting the floor. I got up and tried looking for a way out with a little help from my glow-in-the-dark Miko powers. I eventually found a staircase. I didn't waste time running up the stairs.

I was out the door at the top of the stairs and out the living room in a flash. (I was in a basement!)

It was a log cabin like home in the middle of the forest. Not only was I lost, but Naraku could wake up any second. Now, I wish I had put more energy into the blast. I started running.

~:~

What is the best way to find your way out of a never-ending forest? And don't give me that, "follow the moss on the trees and rocks" crap.

It seemed like there was no end! I was running for five minutes now and nothing! I should have checked his body for a phone or something.

"Crap!" I yelled and clutched my head in my hands. I started pacing. I can't keep running forever. I need a plan. Obviously…

Should I go back? Should I go back to the only place that has food and water and a working phone and maybe face my death?

Or should I keep running to Kami knows where and hope to find civilization?

Decisions, decisions…

Either way, I might die. Who knows what's out here in the forest? Die from hungry wolves or Naraku? I'm not good with tough decisions! Why can't this be easier?

Woof. Woof.

I could hear barking in the distance, like dog barking. Like house pet dog barking.

FREEDOM!

I took off in that direction, not caring that it could have been a stray or a dog being attacked by wolves…

~:~

Okay, maybe that wasn't the best idea…

I'm even more lost and the dog won't make any more noises no matter how much I pleaded.

"C'mon little doggy. Say something for me. Even a little howl," I whispered.

"Are you mentally insane?"

I turned around so fast I could have twisted my spine. I looked at the man who had so easily snuck up on me. I squinted at him. He looked like Inuyasha, but not like Inuyasha…

"Who are you?" I asked slowly. Cautious.

"I should ask you that. You are wondering around on my property."

"I'm sorry, but I'm lost."

"That's no excuse for trespassing."

Jerk….

He narrowed his eyes at me and stepped closer to me. I backed away. He came closer. I tried to go back further, but ran into a tree.

"Where did you get that shirt?" he asked me. What?

I looked down at it. Inuyasha's shirt was torn, covered in dirt and my blood. What should I tell this stranger? Should I even tell him anything at all?

"What's it matter to you?" I asked.

"Although it's covered in your scent and another's I can smell the faintest trace of my brother on it," he said. Brother?

"Your brother?" I asked.

He does look like Inuyasha…

"You are Inuyasha's wench. You're on the news. I thought you were missing."

I rolled my eyes at him. Can't he tell and escaped kidnappee when he sees one?

~:~

I found out later his name was Sesshoumaru. He lives out here in the woods in a huge ass mansion, even bigger than Inuyasha's. he lives out here with his adopted daughter, Rin. She's a nice little girl.

"Kagome-sama, are you and Uncle Inu gonna get married?" Rin asked me. She was so interested in my and Inuyasha's personal life.

"I don't know Rin. That's up to him," I said and waited for her to finish braiding my hair. By now, I had changed, showered, eaten a real meal and was playing with Rin. Sesshoumaru had disappeared.

"But, do you want to marry him?" Rin asked me. Do I want to? Maybe I- BATHROOM!

I ran away from Rin and headed straight to the nearest toilet. The sudden urge to throw up was overwhelming. After emptying my stomach, I groaned. Gross… I tried to flush it away, but couldn't reach the handle. I feel woozy…

I ended my play date with Rin and left to take a nap…

~:~

"Kagome-sama. Wake up!"

Leave me alone…

I groaned and turned over. The person giggled.

"Kagome-sama! Someone's here to see you!"

"Go away. Too sleepy," I murmured.

"Uncle Inu, she says she's too sleepy. You can come back later."

"But, I want to see her now, Rin."

"But, she my patient. You're not allowed inside. Uncle Inu, go back outside! Uncle Inu noooo! Papa Sessh! Uncle Inu's coming in my operating room!"

I sat up slowly to tell Rin to keep it down. But, instead I came face-to-face with someone different. How long has it been since I've seen him?

"Inuyasha?" I asked. Please don't disappear. He held my cheek in his large hand and smiled at me, his canines showing.

"See, Papa Sessh! He's in my operating room! He can't see my patient!" Rin said, dressed in a doctor's robes, "Papa Sessh, what are they doing? Are they kissing! Look Papa Sessh, they're-! Hey! Stop! I wanna see!"

I blocked out the rest of what was said. It didn't matter, I had my hanyou back…

Okay, you all wore me down. I say this story has four more chapters after this one… at least. Also, fish are friends, not food. Thank you!
