Hi! I'm finally updating! Let me no if you want me to update again by giving me a bunch of reviews, OKAY!

Kagome's Pain

Chapter 21: Rescue?

Kagome gave a small groan as she woke up. She looked around to find she was in one of the bedrooms of Naraku's castle. "Ugh, my head's killing me." She moaned as she slowly crawled out of bed. She walked out of the room hoping to figure out a way out, since this was the first time she didn't wake up to Naraku watching her every move. She made a few turns having no clue where she was. She just kept walking through the empty halls.

"What's the point of having a huge castle when there's hardly anyone to live in it?" She grumbled a bit as she walked through a few more halls.

"Naraku, what is the meaning of this?" She heard an angry voice yell. 'Wait! I know that voice!' She walked through the hall to a large plain door. She stealthily snuck up to it and looked through the crack. There stood Kikyo, Naraku standing right in front of her.

"Naraku! I told you to kill the girl."

"I know that."

"Then why is she still alive."

"The girl is quite fascinating. She should prove useful to me?"

"Her? Useful? Don't make me laugh."

"Hmm. Maybe we could have a bit of a compromise Kikyo."

Kikyo paused for a moment. "What did you have in mind?"

By that point Kagome had heard enough. She ran away from the door and through several halls, not caring whether she was lost in this maze of a castle or not. She already knew that Naraku was going to try and use her for something, and that Kikyo wanted to kill her! But to have both of them plotting in the same room is not a good thing. She kept running for some time but something caught her eye. She looked at an open door realizing something.

"No! I'm right back where I started!" She gave a small indignant huff and walked back into the room. Sitting angrily on the bed, she tried to organize a plan of escape. She sensed Naraku walking towards the room, soon afterward. 'That's it! I'm doomed!'

"Kagome." She heard Naraku's voice at the door. The girl cringed with fear and slowly looked toward him.

"Have you come to kill me like Kikyo wanted?" She said weakly. "I over heard your conversation."

"I assume that this was while you were trying to run away." He said coldly.

Kagome gave a small pause. "Um… yeah."

"That was a waste of energy. You shouldn't go wandering around like that. It'll leave you with less energy for your training." Naraku turned and started to walk away.

"So… you're… not going to kill me?" Kagome said quietly, looking downwards in fear of the being before her. Naraku looked at her with a rather blank expression.

"I have a use for you, but, if your usefulness should run out, you will be killed."

"I got it!" Inuyasha yelled out to his friends behind him. "I got Kagome's scent. We'll be there in no time!"

"That's good news!" Sango yelled back.

"Hey! Koga!" Koga looked back at Inuyasha. "You can go ahead and take on Kagura! I'll find Kagome!"

"Right!"

"Stop it!" Kagome yelled out in pain.

Naraku used the power of his spell to bring Kagome to her knees. "Consider this to be your punishment for trying to escape."

"Okay! I get the point! I'm sorry!"

Inuyasha ran a bit faster.

"Inuyasha? Is something wrong?" Sango yelled from behind him.

"Yeah! Judging by Kagome's scent, she's in a lot of pain!"

"What!" Koga yelled from up ahead. "That's it! I'll take care of Kagura! Don't you worry! You'd better just make sure Kagome's alright, got that Mutt!"

"Whatever!" Inuyasha yelled back rather annoyed, and ran, at full speed, passed Koga and then passed Kagura.

"What!" Kagura seemed quite displeased. "Audacious fool! I'll take care of you!" Kagura prepared to attack, but was struck down by Koga.

"Kagura, your fight is with me!"

"Please! Stop it!" Kagome yelled out, her voice becoming tired. She lay on her side, her knees brought up to her chest. Her arms wrapped around her abdomen as she let all of her tears flow freely. The agonizing pain jolted throughout her entire body.

Naraku stood staring at her before noticing Inuyasha's presence. "It seems that your little half-breed has come for you." He watched Kagome's expression as he said this, and gave a wicked smirk. "I assume that you'd be continuing your training later on. I suppose I could let your friends take care of that for me, so I'll let you go." With that he left the room.

"Wa….what?" Kagome said with a trembling voice.

"Kagome!" She heard Inuyasha voice near by.

"I….Inuyasha!" She cried out, relieved that he was there now. Although Naraku had left, the spell was still in place. She winced in pain looking towards Inuyasha for comfort.

"Kagome," He said rather quietly picking up on her hint of pain. He quickly set to work, trying to soothe her aching sides. "Tell me what he did to you."

"I….. I made him angry with me." She gave a small laugh. Her light laughter soon became heavy sobs from both the spell and the grief of everything else that happened to her. "Inu…. Inuyasha!" She sobbed. "Ki……Kikyo wanted to…"

"Shhhh… I know about that, Kagome. She told me before, but that doesn't answer my question." Kagome stayed silent, closing her eyes.

"He says he's letting me go. Inuyasha… I'm really tired right now… could we finish this conversation later?"

"Uh… fine I guess."

Kagome smiled at him rather joyfully. "Just so you know… I learned something pretty good while I was here."

"Oh?" Inuyasha said, now quite intrigued. "What was it?"

"You'll see. I'll be showing it off later."

"You're goin' down. Kagura!" Koga slashed towards her with his claws.

"I don't think so." Kagura stated calmly as she took out her feather and floated away. "See ya."

"Stop!"

"It appears that Naraku has left, so I must go as well." Kagura sent gales of wind around them to keep them from trying to follow her.

"Darn! She got away." Sango said now that all of the lesser demons were destroyed.

"We've got another problem." Miroku said. "Didn't she say that Naraku has left?"

"Oh, no! Your right! What if he took Kagome with him?" Sango began to look quite panicked.

"That's not a problem."

They all turned their heads to see Inuyasha holding an unconscious Kagome in his arms.

Okay! I'm ending it here! Why? I have no clue! I just don't feel like typing anymore. Bye for now!
