'Ch.11: Naraku's threats and Inuyasha's apprehension'

A/n: Does anyone know how to spell the name of Sango's weapon?

If you do please tell me, because as you all have probably figured out by now, when left to my own, I am clueless when it comes to spelling.

Thanks in advance!

Summary: S/K:

When Inuyasha and Kagome have a fight Kagome rushes home, she returns and is kidnapped by a cruel and clever Sesshomaru, but when Kagome starts to melt the ice around our conniving killers heart will he find that something's, or someone are more important than mere power?

Ch. Summary:

Naraku's threats and Inuyasha's apprehension.

Naraku and Inuyasha battle it out and Inuyasha discovers that he cannot yet rescue Kagome

Fatal Love:

Feudal era:

'Inuyasha's P.O.V:'

As I raced forward I picked it up, his scent,

and it was fast approaching.

"Damn! Of all the times." I mumbled, coming to a stop and turning in the direction of his scent.

"Inuyasha." Naraku said calmly, from a few yards away.

"Naraku." I returned angrily as Sango and Miroku finally caught up to me, stopping cold when they spotted Naraku.

"What do you want?" I demanded, for once more eager to do something other than fight him,

I have to save Kagome.

"What do I want? Well Inuyasha that is certainly no way to greet an old acquaintance such as myself." Naraku admonished.

"Feh!

I don't have time for this Naraku!" I said angrily.

"Oh, why ever not? To busy hunting for the few remaining jewel shards? Or perhaps you are searching for a missing comrade?" Naraku asked, laughing cruelly.

"What did you say?" I demanded angrily.

"Do not tell me you have not noticed your missing party member?" He exclaimed in mock surprise.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I lied.

"Are you attempting to tell me that you do not know that your little Kagome has vanished?" He questioned harshly.

How would he know Kagome was gone? I thought in a panic.

And worse, what if he knew where she went? I tried to remain outwardly calm.

"That's it; I've had enough of your mouth!" I shouted, pulling Tetsusaiga from its sheath and charging towards him.

"Ahh, so eager to fight Inuyasha?" He asked in evident amusement, dodging my blow easily.

"Wind scar!" I snarled.

Naraku dodged that attack as well, smiling all the while.

"Oh, poor Inuyasha, I fear you are going to tucker yourself out." He said laughing.

"Shut up bastard!" I said, noticing Miroku readying to release his wind tunnel. I pointed up, towards the poisonous insects that swarmed above us.

"What's going on?" I heard Sango ask.

"Apparently Naraku has discovered that Kagome is not with us." Came Miroku's murmured reply, as he covered his wind scar in his protective rosary beads once again.

"I see." Sango said grimly.

"Wind scar!" I tried again, watching in disgust as Naraku leapt easily out of the way.

"Damn." I said furiously.

"Inuyasha," Naraku started, laughing darkly. "Though in truth this is all greatly amusing, I did not come here for the purpose of fighting you, after all I could kill you anytime, but where's the fun in that?" He asked.

What is up with everyone telling me that they 'did not come to fight'? It's pissing me off!

"Whether you came to fight or not, you're going to have to." I said defiantly, noticing for the first time that Kagura loomed just yards away, her eyes down cast.

That's strange... I mused.

"Very well, you want a fight?

You've got one." Naraku said in annoyance.

Naraku charged, claws outstretched, slashing out at me, as I leapt away.

With a mere flick of his wrist Naraku made his summons and tons of demons burst forth into the clearing.

"Where did all these demons come from?" Miroku asked, beads of sweat already forming on his brow from fighting off many of the first wave of demons.

"Naraku must have had them all in the clearing, awaiting his summons to attack." Sango replied hurriedly, her own face drenched in sweat.

"I wish Kagome were here." Shippo said from his position behind Kirara.

"Yes Shippo, we all..."Sango started.

"Wait...Shippo?

I thought we asked you to wait with Keade in the village until we returned, this journey could prove dangerous." Sango said.

"Yeah, I know you did, but I've been in plenty of dangerous situations with you guys before and I really want to see Kagome again." Shippo said with a pleading look in his eyes.

"So I kind of snuck along, please let me come, please" Shippo begged.

Sango sighed as she continued to battle.

"What can I say? You make a good point and I really can't argue at the moment...

Very well, but stay out of the way of the demons." Sango relented wearily, unused to catering to Shippo's needs.

"Great!" Shippo said cheerfully.

"Hear that Inuyasha? I do get to come!" Shippo taunted, happy to throw it in my face as I was the most insistent that he stay.

"Shut up runt, can't you see that I'm busy?" I demanded distractedly as I dodged yet another of Naraku's attacks.

"Are you sure that was a wise decision?" Miroku asked Sango.

"No." She admitted.

"But he misses Kagome as much as the rest of us, I think he needs to see her, plus it was very brave of him to stole away under Kirara, I don't have the heart to say no." Sango explained.

"Very well..." He started, crying out in pain as a demon sank its claws into his forearm.

"Miroku, are you alright?" Sango asked in concern, quickly slaughtering the demon as Maraca removed its claws from his flesh.

"I'm fine Sango, don't worry about me." Miroku said, offering her a tentative smile.

I wish those two would just stop talking and fight! I thought in annoyance, glancing back at them.

Bad idea.

Naraku used his moment's advantage, pushing me into a tree and gripping my neck, applying enough pressure to clog my airways, simultaneously calling off the demons, leaving a sweating and out of breath Sango and Miroku to stare in open mouthed horror at his grip on my neck.

"You see Inuyasha," He began, leaning closer.

"I can kill you at anytime, remember that." He said, loosening his grip on my throat

as I choked for air.

"Bastard!" I cried furiously.

"Tisk, tisk, Inuyasha, you really should watch your language." He said happily

before frowning, serious once again.

"I will find her Inuyasha, I will find your precious Kagome,

one way or another,

and when I do..." He began, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

"What do you want with Kagome?" I demanded,

not letting him continue with what I hoped was just his mad ranting.

"Oh not an awful lot,

just enough to mess with your pretty little head.

And how much would it pain you, Inuyasha, to know that when I have her I will kill her painfully,

slowly..." He started, cutting off my air once again.

"And how would it make you feel to hear her cries of pain as she dies,

dies by my hand, just as Kikyo did, just as you will.

Could you bear it if she cried out your name as she died,

begging for your help, while you stood by,

knowing there was nothing you could do to stop me,

nothing you could do to save her..." He continued.

In a last burst of strength I drew back my fist, my strength made greater by my fury,

how dare he say such things?

Punching him hard in the face, I knocked him backward as I fell to my feet.

"Shut up!

Don't you ever talk like that about Kagome!" I said furiously, punching him again in blind

rage.

Naraku leapt back, his face distorted with rage of his own.

"For that Inuyasha, when I get her, and I will get her,

I shall tell her exactly why you have not come to rescue her as she lay dying.

I believe I should inform her, quite blatantly that you might just be to busy 'fraternizing' with our darling Kikyo to come to her rescue, even if you are not.

I think she will find it believable, ne?

Perhaps I will even permit you to watch as the ounces of life slip from her body." He mused,

smiling despite the bruise already forming on his cheek..

"Why you...!"

"Eh, eh, eh, I'm afraid I haven't the time for this any longer Inuyasha,

as you know I have much to attend to.

It's been fun." He said, smirking as he and Kagura disappeared into the air.
