Kagome woke to find she was in a room she did not know. Kagome looked at the ceiling it was coming back to her now. She went with Naraku to keep him from hurting any of her pack. Now she was inside his castle in a cell but a nice one. She was still in her gown and felt her heart sink she wanted to dance and now that might never happen.

…..

The Pack screamed but Kagome was gone the barrier was not coming down. Sesshomaru took off back to the dance hall to find three of Naraku's men did not make it out. They sat on the floor chained up.

"Where did he take her?" Sesshomaru spoke as he walked towards the men. "To his castle." One demon spoke. "Tell me how to find him?" Sesshomaru spoke as he reached for the demon. "Can't. His castle moves on its own. Plus once we were caught he took any power to find him away." The demon laughed.

Sesshomaru let the man fall he was spinning, Kagome was gone and he didn't do anything to save her. "How did he get her out of here?" Miroku's words brought Sesshomaru back.

"She walked out. We had enough men in here to have each of you targeted. If she had touched that sword one of you would be dead. He made a deal for your lives all she had to do was walk out without a fight." Another demon answered as he started to laugh.

"She saved all of you even your girlfriend. I bet you it will cost her, her own life but she almost looked like she was going to cry when she asked our master not to hurt you, not on your birthday." The third demon spoke as he started to laugh harder.

Sesshomaru felt his anger take over as he kicked the demon into the ground. "How dare you laugh at her." Sesshomaru felt it again he did nothing but Kagome gave it all to save them.

"Take them away." The Lord spoke finally as the pack stood in the emptied dance hall. The other guests were in their rooms safe and sound. Mia walked up and reached for Sesshomaru. "He ruined everything." Mia spoke about to wrap her hand around Sesshomaru. "Who cares about the party? Kagome saved you don't you care she might die?" Sesshomaru asked as he pulled out of Mia's reach. "Why?! That girl is trouble look what having her around has done. I would never be a target if she never came here. You are starting to scare me with all this weakness." Mia spoke looking at the demon she loved. "This Sesshomaru is not weak. I have learned that power is not looking down on others." Sesshomaru spoke then walked out of the room.

Mia was in shock she was fighting with him. She should have been outside being told how her dress made her eyes shine but no she was left alone the demon she loved was off mad about some brat who was probably dead.

Midnight:

Sesshomaru was in a dream he knew that much. He remembered going to bed but never hitting the pillow. "Are you alright?" A voice asked making Sesshomaru turn fast.

The world around him was a cell, inside was a nice bed but no windows and the room was cold. Kagome was sitting on the bed looking at him.

"Kagome….you are still alive?" Sesshomaru spoke and asked. Kagome smiled. "For now. I was asleep looking for Miroku. I felt a light calling for me I followed it and then you showed up." Kagome spoke her face turning red a little.

Sesshomaru saw how pretty Kagome still looked. He wished he had danced with his miko before this hell. "I was worried about you. I guess with us being partners you could hear me." Sesshomaru spoke as he sat down. "So he didn't kill you. Why?" Sesshomaru had to know he was sure Kagome was dead.

Kagome smiled again. "Turns out your father is harder to fight than he thought. I look better alive to gain power from for now." Kagome answered as she could feel that the Lord in front of her was upset. "Did you and Mia fight?" Kagome asked. "We got into it. She called me weak." Sesshomaru spoke unsure why he was telling her this. "She cares for you but does think humans are weak. Try to show her maybe she can be taught to understand." Kagome spoke as she felt her heart sink a little. "I will find you. Kagome I won't stop looking for you." Sesshomaru spoke looking ahead. "I know. If you don't get me back who else will you play chess with?" Kagome answered with a smile.

Sesshomaru was about to say more when he jolted awake. Someone was banging on his door. Sesshomaru got up and waited for a minute then opened the door to find Mia standing there in her night gown pissed. "Why was the door locked?" Mia asked. "I wanted to be alone. I will see you in the morning Mia." Sesshomaru then shut and locked the door. Mia felt her heart racing he was still mad.

The next day Miroku was in the garden he was upset trying to call to Kagome. He couldn't sleep and thought being in a place his sister loved would help call her. "She is not dead." Sesshoumaru's voice spoke making Miroku turn. "How do you know? He has wanted her soul since she was a child now he can have it." Miroku spoke trying not to cry. "I did fall asleep last night. She appeared thinking it was you. We talked, for now she is safe. He wants to beat my father but cannot. Kagome's soul power alive is much stronger than killing and taking her soul. He will try to use her alive for now." Sesshomaru spoke looking towards the gates. "We have to go looking for her." Miroku spoke. "That is the plan." Sesshomaru answered.

Mia was in her room going over what Sesshomaru was mad about. He was not seeing Kagome for what she was. Mia was about to scream when there was a knock on the door. Mia opened the door to find Sesshomaru. "Mia I need you to be safe. You will be going home today." Sesshomaru spoke not moving. "I don't want to go home. I want to be here with you." Mia spoke looking at Sesshomaru. "I have to go find her and I won't be here to protect you. Your father can do that for me." Sesshomaru answered. "No. I will be here and wait till you come back." Mai answered as she slammed the door. Sesshomaru shook his head Mia was not thinking about this war she was acting like a child.

Inuyasha was looking at a map when Kikyo walked in. "So this castle will be full of demons who have eaten the souls of others. How are we even going to have a chance?" Kikyo spoke as she saw Kagome's sword on the table. "We have to try. Kagome would, she did." Inuyasha spoke thinking about how Kagome didn't even think twice when she made this deal with Naraku.

Sango and Miroku walked in next, Miroku looked pale and tired. "Any luck?" Sango asked as she walked over. Miroku stopped and looked at the sword. "She could have killed him." Miroku spoke looking at the sword. "We both know I would rather you all live." Kagome answered. Kagome was now standing in front of Miroku. "How…." Kagome smiled at Miroku trying to speak. "You feel asleep. I have been waiting for you brother. You need to sleep. Sesshomaru was telling you the truth I am alive for now. I know I have a chance for a while and that is good." Kagome spoke as she hugged her brother. "Be strong little one." Miroku spoke as his sister faded.

Sesshomaru walked in as Inuyasha was about to wake Miroku. "Let him sleep he has been looking for her for some time let him be with her a while longer." Sesshomaru spoke then walked over to the map. "The trail from that wind demon leads into the spider forest we will start there." Sesshomaru spoke.

…

Kagome was fallowing two snake demons to a room she called the lab. Kagome walked in and Ichiro took her hand. He walked his sword ready to a small box. Kagome was pushed in. Kagome closed her eyes as she saw Naraku walk in. "We are going to try again." Naraku spoke as a gas filled the box. Kagome started to cough as the world was getting blurry. Naraku reached out and touched the box and a small spark hit Kagome pulling a light into his hands. Naraku then moved fast hitting the wall. The whole castle shook. Naraku smiled then stopped as the light was cutting the blood flow to his hand. Naraku sent the light back. "I need to use it longer the gas still is not strong enough." Naraku spoke as he started to walk out. "Put her to bed Ichiro." Naraku ordered as he walked out.

Naraku walked into his room a demon was waiting for him. "My path is clear." Naraku spoke as the demon was holding a small ball. "For now…I must warn you about falling into the other path." The demon spoke. "Do not push your luck. I still do not believe you have seen me fall demon." Naraku spoke as he sat down. "I have. You came to me in a dream in the hopes of changing your path. I am only doing what I was ordered by you master." The demon spoke. "If you see something worth my time come to me then." Naraku ordered then sent the demon on his way.

…

Sesshomaru sat at a fire night in the spider forest. It was darken than any other forest and the fire also kept nightmares at bay. Miroku was reading over scrolls while Sango was holding a small danger. Kikyo was laying in Inuyasha's lap both in deep thought.

"She is alone….even if we save her." Sango was thinking. Sango had been thinking about this for a while. Miroku knew Sango cared about him more than just partners and Kikyo and Inuyasha were one step away from being married. Kagome just had friends and her brother. Those are nice things to have but to know that there is one person who thinks about you above all others is something she just doesn't have.

Sesshomaru was watching the fire as he remembered the party and how in a moment Kagome was gone just liked that. He was off doing something he hated when he could have been talking to her. Would she still be with them if he had done what he wanted?

"I think we are getting close." Miroku spoke as he looked around. "What makes you think that?" Sango asked. "I feel a clearing and in this forest there should be no clearings." Miroku answered.

Sesshomaru looked around the forest was going silent. "We should get going no time to waste then." Sesshomaru spoke as the pack started to walk.

…..

Kagome was in her room when the door opened. Ichiro was standing in the doorway. "I think they found us. Not sure how but I was told to come get you." Ichiro spoke as he stood there. Kagome wasn't sure why Ichiro was being nice to her, he was nice all the times she would fight back he would stop her but never was he cruel about it. Kagome walked over and followed Ichiro. She knew fighting him was a bad idea she was deep inside the castle and there was no way she would make it out.

Kagome walked till she saw the box. "Time to test out my power." Naraku spoke and pushed Kagome into the box. Kagome felt a fear rush over her as the gas started to overtake her. "Now let us welcome the pack." Naraku started to walk as the box followed. The gas filled the box and slowly Kagome's eyes started to close. "Run." Kagome spoke as she slumped against the wall of the box.

Sesshomaru could see the castle sitting where trees once stood. He felt the cold aura coming through as the pack stood next to him weapons ready. "Do you think they know we are here?" Kikyo asked.

The doors burst open at her words Naraku was walking forwards with a small army behind him. All eyes feel on the box following him the one with a passed out Kagome inside.

"Kagome!?" Miroku spoke his heart stopped. "Don't worry monk the girl is still alive. I have made this box and the weeks she has been with me I think I can now use her power." Naraku spoke with a smile.

The box stopped and Naraku reached over touching the box. The pack watched as small shocks started to hit Kagome's body. Then a light started to cover Naraku.

"You monster. You are hurting her." Miroku spoke as he watched his sister's body twitch. "You won't get away with this." Sesshomaru spoke as he felt Kagome's soul cry out in pain.

Naraku smiled as Ichiro pulled his sword. "Ichiro keep him busy I want to test out this power." Naraku spoke.

Ichiro nodded as he rushed Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru pulled his sword to block the attack but that was all he was doing. Ichiro was moving fast and all Sesshomaru could do for the moment was keep his at bay. Naraku rushed past him and towards the pack. Miroku pulled Sango out of the way as Naraku glowed with Kagome's power.

Naraku kicked Inuyasha as he came at him and landed on Kikyo. "Kagome's power will be enough to end you little girl." Naraku spoke as a light started to glow from Naraku's hands and Kikyo screamed.

Kagome was lost in a fog she felt auras she was missing but the lights were beating hard like they were fighting. Kagome felt her heart skip that had to mean….he was using her. Kagome was afraid he was going to hurt her friends. Kagome could feel something he was hurting someone and was using her to do it. "I have to wake up." Kagome spoke tears running down her face.

Kagome woke screaming as Kikyo fell to the ground her heart stopped. Naraku turned as Kagome pulled her power back. "How are you awake? Not that it matters." Naraku spoke looking down at Kikyo. Inuyasha tackled Naraku off Kikyo. "What have you done!?" Inuyasha screamed.

Kagome was still trapped in the box and she was shaking Kikyo needed help. Kagome placed her hands on the box and screamed.

Sesshomaru was fighting hard when Kikyo screamed he watched her fall as Naraku was using Kagome's soul to kill her. Then Kagome woke up and he felt it Kagome was trying to think of a way to save Kikyo. "She won't win this. Kagome is nothing but his tool and when she is no longer useful she will die." Ichiro spoke with a laugh. Then Kagome screamed. Sesshomaru knew what needed to be done. With all he had he kicked Ichiro to the ground and ran to the box he placed his hand down and Kagome's soul jumped into him.

"Save her!" Kagome screamed from inside. Sesshomaru ran to Kikyo who was pale and still. He placed a hand over Kikyo's heart. Kagome sent part of her soul to Kikyo. "How are you using her? Only I can use that box." Naraku cried as he moved to avoid Inuyasha's sword. "Kagome is more powerful than you will ever get to use. Sango keep him off Kikyo." Sesshomaru ordered as he let Kagome work.

Kagome reached and touched Kikyo's soul weak and scared. "Time to come back." Kagome spoke. Kikyo opened her eyes and could see Kagome. "I am so sorry." Kagome spoke. "It's not your fault…you came to help me." Kikyo spoke. "We both came. I told you that Sesshomaru was a good leader." Kagome spoke weak now.

Ichiro got to the box he could see Kagome's body going pale. "Time to choose Sesshomaru, let her keep going and die or give her back to my master." Ichiro spoke as he moved the box back to the castle gates.

Sesshomaru felt it Kagome was dying with her soul with him. He closed his eyes so his soul could find hers. "Kagome…you cannot die." Sesshomaru spoke pulling her away from Kikyo." "She is still weak and needs…" Sesshomaru who was sad stopped her. "I will get her back to my mother. I will keep them safe for now. Please do not die." Sesshomaru spoke his words shaking. "Save them promise me." Kagome spoke turning to face her partner. "I promise. I will get you back too." Sesshomaru spoke.

Kagome's soul rushed back to her body. Kagome started to cough and holding her heart the pain was blinding. Naraku broke free running back to his gates. Inuyasha was about to follow when a hand grabbed him. "We have to get Kikyo home. Kagome got her heart to restart but she is not out of danger yet." Sesshomaru spoke. "What about Kagome?" Inuyasha asked. Sesshomaru looked back and saw Ichiro pull Kagome out of the box he was holding her softly like he cared for her almost. "We come back with a better plan. I made her a promise and I will keep it." Sesshomaru spoke as he picked Kikyo up. Sango and Miroku ran to join the group as the gates started to close. "We were so close." Miroku spoke. "No we not even close. Kagome is still lost to us." Sesshomaru spoke as he started to run.

…..

Kagome woke in her cell but she was not alone. "How did he do that?" Naraku asked as he stood from the dark corner. "He did nothing. I did it." Kagome answered as tears ran down her face. "That box is mine no one else can use it." Naraku spoke as he moved fast and hit Kagome across the face. "Remember this you are mine now." Naraku spoke as Kagome was holding her jaw. "No." Kagome spoke through the pain. "We will see." Naraku spoke and walked out.

Kagome laid down her body shaking she needed sleep.

…

Sesshomaru arrived home screaming for healers. Kikyo was taken from him while the Lord and Lady came out. Sesshomaru was just standing there for a minute. "Son?" The Lord spoke. "I had to leave her….she felt so bad that it was her power that stopped Kikyo's heart in the first place. I made her a promise that I would save them today. I have to get stronger if I want to save her." Sesshomaru spoke as the world was moving around him.

Mia came running and grabbed Sesshomaru. "I was so worried that you would have been hurt." Mia spoke as she held onto her love. "Mia…I am fine." Sesshomaru spoke then got free and went to his room. He sat there and thought one thing as his eyes started to close. "Let me find her."

…

Kagome knew it was a dream but it was not her dream she was looking around when someone pulled her into his arms. "I am sorry we had to leave you." Sesshomaru spoke as he held Kagome. Kagome felt her face go red she let her head lay on Sesshoumaru's chest. "I understand." Kagome spoke as they stood no words just two souls.

Kagome finally pulled back. "I am losing to him. He can use my power longer before I can get it back. You have to…" Kagome stopped when Sesshomaru reached out and touched her jaw. "What happened?" Sesshomaru asked he could see the bruise forming. "He hit me. I guess he thinks it will make me work better." Kagome answered.

Sesshomaru felt it a feeling he hadn't had in a long time. He was pissed that someone touched the girl before him. He wanted to hold her again but Kagome was fading. "Keep them safe." Kagome spoke before she was gone.
