chapter 11

Naraku drug Kagome by the arm all the way to the horses and behind them there was a cage on wheels attached to it for prisoners and Kagome could tell excatly who that was for. Naraku forcefully opened the cage in anger and practically threw Kagome inside.
Meanwhile Kagura was begging Naraku to let her go claiming it was all her fault. Tears streamed down her face like rain making Kagome want to cry as well.

Naraku turned around slammed the cage and yelled a quick shut up to Kagura who agreed knowing what would happen if she didn't. Kagome sat in the rusty cage full of blood stains and cryed. She knew this would eventually happen. How could she think that things would tun out good? How could she think that some one would save her? And now she payed for her stupidity, she would be hung in the middle of some town and forgotten. Her lifeless body would sway with the wind and as each passer byer took a glance they knew that their fate would be the same if they ever thought to even disobey lord Naraku.

Slowly the cage began to move, lifting after every bump and Kagome sat alone in the most beautiful Kimono. It almost looked like a sad story painted with the perfect color and perfect sadness. Kagome hicuped and cryed. No one would save her...No One. Kagome looked up to the sky through the rusted bars and saw clouds and a cresent moon shining in daylight. Her thoughts drifted to the so called Taiyoukai. He was not as bad when you got to know him.

Days passed by and all Kagome thought about was the some-what happy memories of the days with Sesshoumaru, Miroku, Sango and everyone else who was her friend. She clung to the memories as if some how they would be the ones to save her life, which she needed so desperately. Soon the castle came into view and the sight of it was nothing compared to the western castle. The gardens were not so full of life and the gate wasn't very breath taking.

the cage haulted and Kagome was flung out of the cage into the dew grass. She felt the bun that was so perfectly placed on top of her head fall behind her back. Kagome was picked roughly off the ground and dragged to the castle basement through narrow and unpainted halls and thrown into the dark and enclosed dungeon.

She looked around and saw no one or anything but shackles for those who tried to escape and a small window which brought in dim light.

Sesshoumaru watched as the cage on wheels drove off with a sad expression on his face. How could this be? WHY? He knew the girl was a traiter but why did he care? Why did he want to save her? There must be some reason for her to have taken Kagura's place,
from the looks of it Kagura wasn't aangry at her servant or 'formally Kagura'. The real Kagura seemed as though she had asked for the servant to do it.

Would he save her? There were so many questions rushing through his head that it gave Sesshoumaru an oncoming headache. Sesshoumaru walked to his room in silence going through every hall and set of stairs. Meanwhile Jaken was probably delaying this night for a while.
After all how can you have a ball without the lord being present.

Sesshoumaru took a seat at is wooden desk and rested his head on his hand. What could he do? what was he going to do? He debated on abadoning her but just like Rin, he couldn't. the thought of her haunted him. She had helped him out of trouble and made NORMAL conversations that didn't include will you marry me or money. He owed her and yet he didn't at all.

Jaken knocked and Sesshomaru gave a short, "Come in."

Jaken stepped in hesitantily "M'Lord how long should I hold off this occasion?"

Sesshoumaru sat straight " A couple days ..." and with that her grabbed his armor and flew out the window.

He had made the desicion to save her...if not for him then for Rin or the woman who was a good friend of Kagomes. He would save her or buy her and leave her in a village for Rin. Just Rin. Only Rin. Or ...himself.

He would not brood on such thoughts and yet he fancied keeping her in the castle as a servant, but he wouldn't. Not against her will at least, if she wanted to stay he would let her. After all he grew fond of her jokes and laughter. He liked it when he would say something simple and she would turn it around just to insult him. She kept him ...company.

Sesshoumaru walked through the damp forest. It would be quite a long run but he would most likley get to them two days after arrival.
by then they shouldn't of hung her yet. He still wondered why he was doing this but for what ever reason it had to be important.

Very important.

Sesshoumaru heard a low growl. He turned his head toward the noise and there stood a cat demon with two people prompt on it. One was a woman with her hair tied up and the other a monk. He reconized these as 'Kagura's' friends.

"If your going to get Kagome to then come with us" the Lady named Sqango spoke briefly and Sesshoumaru gave a nod.

Sango and Miroku had no idea why a Lord would get Kagome but they had a slight idea. Perphaps he was more than a good friend to Kagome. Sango wouldn't touch that subject though.

Not very long because i wrote it in 45 min but i like short chapters I dont know why though.
