Inuyasha's head was pounding. The roaring of the waterfall that assaulted his sensitive ears wasn't making it much worse. His eyes snapped open in confusion. Inuyasha scanned the room around him. He was in a damp cave, he was no longer bound in that cold dark cell. He tenderly got to his feet minding his wounds. He was so relieved to be free he threw all caution to the wind as he approached the entrance of the cave. He reached his hand out to the waterfall. When his hand went past the cool rushing water he felt his hand collide with some invisible force that filled his body with hot pain before sending him flying into the back of the cave.

Kagura continued to pace as she tried to quell the conflict in her own mind. Inuyasha had been her enemy for so long but why does she feel like she must stick her neck out for him.

She was snapped from her thoughts at the angry growl that ripped through the intense silence of the castle. "NARAKU!"

Kagura stopped pacing then turned to face the castles entrance. She let out a sigh as she cleared her mind. She slowly walked out into the light of day to meet Inuyasha's friends.

"Kagura where is Naraku," Kagome shouted as she drew her bow.

"Now why would I tell you something like that," Kagura grinned as she opened her fan.

"Because you led us here," Miroku said as he watched sadness creep up onto Kagura's face. he placed his hand on Kagome's wrist causing her to lower her bow. Miroku walked forward. "I don't know your reasons Kagura but I do know you brought us here for a reason."

Kagura remained silent but the monk kept talking. "I don't think you hate Naraku enough to bring us here. So what was your intention."

Kagura let the monk's words set in. she wouldn't say it out loud but she knew her reasons. She had to help Inuyasha even if she wasn't completely sure why. "There not here." Kagura let out a sigh before continuing. "And I don't know where they are."

Kagura retreated back into the castle without another word. She returned to her pacing as she attempted to figure out why she cared what happened to the half demon.

the gang turned to face Miroku "what was that about," Sango asked.

Miroku let out a sigh. "i don't know but I don't think Kagura wanted to fight us. She has betrayed Naraku before so we can assume she is not on his side, but..."

"But what?" Kagome wondered.

"That doesn't mean she would risk her life to help us unless she wanted to help Inuyasha" Miroku reasoned.

"Well there's not much else we can do here," Sango said as she climbed on Kirara's back. She helped Kagome up. "Let's return to Kaede's village and think of a plan."

Kirara flew through the air towards Kaede's village.

"Oh come now," fear washed over Inuyasha's face as he heard Naraku's usual mocking tone. "You didn't think you were free did you."

Naraku appeared from the waterfall and continued to advance towards the trembling half demon. Inuyasha swallowed the lump in his throat. His breathing turned ragged as his fear grew. Naraku was merely inches from him by now. Inuyasha scrambled to his feet despite the pain that shot through his body. Naraku saw his chance and took it. His tentacles wrapped around Inuyasha's wrist and ankles. The half demon struggled with all his might. Though it didn't last for long. The strength was sapped from him and he slumped forward.

Naraku wasn't satisfied with this win so he released his tentacles causing Inuyasha to fall to the ground. Naraku climbed on top of Inuyasha he leaned down and breathed in Inuyasha's scent. He let out a sigh before he opened Inuyasha's shirt. He ran his finger along every scar on the half demon's chest. Inuyasha's trembling grew under the unwanted touch but he was powerless to do anything. He retreated back into his own mind as Naraku continued his fun.

I'm sorry about the part with Kagura I really am. I know its complete crap but I didn't know how else to make it hopefully you guys wont have to suffer through another part like that.

Also sorry about this failure of a chapter I hope the next one will be better. I just had to get a few things out of the way.

hey guys I know most of you probably don't like the fact that I will be updating weekly. Good news is that I am actual working on making several chapters during the week so I can finish the story. When I do that then I will be able to post daily.

So in the meantime please read and review. I would like some advice on how to make this story better.
