Italiacs: Kagome speaking
Chapter Twelve: Access Denied
"So, you accidentally cursed Kagome into the form of a dog?" Miroku asked, sitting across from the witch, who he had learned was named Yukiko.
She nodded her head bashfully. "It was an accident... I'm not very well trained,"
"Feh. I'll say!" Inuyasha snorted, receiving a whack on the head by Miroku's staff.
"You are loyal to Naraku," Sesshomaru supplied, standing a far ways away from the group.
"Not by choice." She sighed deeply before taking out a necklace from her bag, "This is my brothers. He took him away from me... he told me if I didn't do his bidding, he would kill him."
"I see. Why you, though? Why not a witch who was fully trained?" Miroku asked.
"I think it's because a fully trained witch could outwit him, whereas I cannot."
"Feh! Anyone could outwit that bastard!" Inuyasha smirked, throwing his head up in confidence.
"Then why have you not found him yourself, little brother?"
"..." Inuyasha sulked before growling lightly. "Hey! You haven't found him either!"
"Naraku is a... clever man. Foolish, but clever none the less." Sesshomaru said, a frown marring his face.
Miroku stood abruptly before looking to the witch. "Is there any way of returning Kagome to her normal self?"
Yukiko shook her head. "I really have no idea. I'm so sorry..."
"Sesshomaru! You must know someone who could reverse this!" Called Inuyasha, who was now leaning up against the wall.
"I do."
"Then take us to them!"
Sesshomaru looked to the dog still in Miroku's grasp, who looked at him with pleading eyes, and coldy responded, "This Sesshomaru... denies your request."
"What?! Why?!" Inuyasha yelled in rage, cracking his knuckles.
"She is not my problem. I came for the Naraku's head."
