Chapter 21: the feeling of pain

Inuyasha and sesshomaru moved forward down the hallway. "I can't sense anything in this place. What about you sesshomaru?" inuyasha looks over at his brother.

"No. I don't sense anything at all. This is strange. I should be able to sense something at least. Kagome is your mate inuyasha. Are you sure you don't feel anything."

Inuyasha stop and close his eyes trying to feel anything from his love. He was getting nothing! Which wasn't right at all. His hands tighten around Tetsusaiga.

'Could that possibly mean…no cause I would have felt that to wouldn't I?'

"inuyasha?"

Inuyasha opens his eyes and looks over at sesshomaru. He shakes his head no.

Sesshomaru sighs and keeps walking forward. "Let's just hope the others have better luck then we do." He looks down at Tenseiga. 'And let's just hope it won't have to come down to me using this.'

Sesshomaru looks up to see a door at the end of the hall.

Elsewhere…

"Old man. You mind letting go of me? It not very comfortable to drag you down this hall!" yells koga.

Totosai is hanging on to the back of his shirt being drag. "And would you shut up with all that crying! Out of everyone I had to get stuck with you!"

Koga throws totosai off him. "What is your problem?"

"There is get evil in this place, and it's going to kill us all!"

Koga rolls his eyes. 'This is the bodyguard they got to protect kagome? No wonder we're in the situation we're in now.'

"Come on old man. Let's keep moving," totosai gets up and steps up close to koga. "But if I have to drag you down this hallway again I'm gonna be that evil that's going to kill you."

Totosai takes step back shaking with fear. "Old man would you come on there's a door at the end of this hall!"

They walk forward.

Elsewhere…

"Miroku now is not the time for you to get perverted!" sango says as she slaps him.

"I'm sorry my dear sango it's this curse hand of mine. It has a mind of its own." Sango rolls her eyes.

"Well why don't I just cut it off for you then we would see what type of mind it has." Miroku gulps.

"I shall try to control myself."

They keep walking in silence till they come to a door at the end of the hall.

"Well, I guess this where the hall ends."

Miroku nods his head. "Yes. So it seems that way." Sango looks over at miroku. "Ready for anything?"

He nods his head. He holds his staff tight in his hand.

"You know I just realize you hand that. So you really are a monk…so much lechery to be a monk."

Miroku puts his hand over his heart as if the comment hurt him. "Sango I'm hurt that you would say something like that."

Sango once again rolls her eyes. "Yea. Whatever. Let's go." She goes towards the sliding door. She opens it and step inside with miroku behind her. She stops and miroku bumps into her.

"Sango it not good to just stop like that all of a sudden." Says miroku about to make a move on how close they were to each other.

"Don't even think about it and look." He looks over and sees koga yelling at totosai.

"Did you have to come in yelling like you're being killed? There's no one in here!"

"Actually," koga and totosai looks over at sango and miroku. "We're here."

"And so are we." Everyone looks over at inuyasha and sesshomaru walk in the room.

"Well this is bull!" yells koga.

"So all those hallways lead to this one room." Sango looks around. "And there's only one door left in this room that we can go in."

"Well then let's see what's behind this door." Inuyasha says and walks over but stops when the door opens and out walks Kikyo laughing with some other girl.

"You should have seen her. She thinks that training going to help her."

"Kikyo." Inuyasha growls out. Kikyo and the other girl look over at the gang. She smiles.

"Inu baby! And other people who names I can't remember." She smirks "so why the surprise visit? Well," she twirls a piece of her hair as if thinking. "It wasn't really a surprise since I kind of knew you were coming."

"Where is she?"

"Who?… oh you mean the slut. Well she's just behind this door but she's having a father to daughter talk at the moment." She laughs.

"Why I should-" he is cut off when the girl next to her speaks.

"Kikyo who are these guys?"

"Oh, me and my bad manners. This is Inu baby and his…friends' right? Well I wouldn't know really because I really didn't care to know. Anyway, Inu baby and…people this is Kagura. She was the daughter of Naraku! Isn't that funny? Actually, the guy had quite a few kids before he was killed."

"He deserved to die!" Yells sango.

"You watch what you say about my father." Kagura says pointing a close fan at them.

"Hey you…girl… whatever your name is. You should watch what you say to Kagura. She has a really short temper, and her brother and sister wouldn't like that you talk to her that way."

The door opens and a boy and girl with white hair step out. They looked no older than 10. The girl had a mirror in her hand and the boy had a long spear in his. They stood beside Kagura.

"This Kanna and Hakudoshi, also children of Naraku. Oh and all of them are very angry about their father being killed by a weak human. They want revenge, but since Yuta wanted the slut to himself they have to take the next best thing. Killing her friends."

"You think those two little kids can kill us," Snorts inuyasha

Hakudoshi looks over at inuyasha with a cold look in his eyes. "You mated the human. But you are a demon…wait I correct myself. You are only half demon. You're a hanyou."

"Yea so what your point kid?" he says getting annoyed with all the talking.

He watches as the boy looks over to Kanna. "It shouldn't take long to change him right Kanna?" The girl grey eyes remain emotionless as she answers.

"It shall take no time at all." She looks up at Kagura. "Shall we?"

"Yes lets." The three take a step forward.

"Bye Inu baby! If you make it I'll love to be a shoulder to lean on once that girl is gone. Anyway, I have business to get done. Have to help Yuta with a little problem. Wouldn't want to pass up this opportunity. Bye!" she goes to the door and opens it.

"You hold up Kikyo!" She turns around to inuyasha to see him jump over Kagura and the others aiming Tetsusaiga at her. As soon as he's close, a barrier goes up around her. Inuyasha hits the barrier with his sword and flies backwards sliding by Kagura in the others. Kikyo shakes her head as if in shame.

"Inu baby, I thought I wouldn't have to do that but you leave me no choice." Inuyasha gets up off the floor.

"What was that?"

"She's a priestess, a miko," Says sesshomaru.

"Wow you're so smart. Maybe I should have got with you instead of Inu baby."

"You couldn't if you had the chance. I don't lay with whores."

Kikyo gasps. Hakudoshi snorts. "You got that right." She looks over at him. He shrugs. "You're just a kid. What do you know?"

"I know what I see, and I'm not a kid. I am far older than you." He says as a matter of fact.

"Whatever." She looks over at sesshomaru. "You might be sexy but you're a pain. Anyway have fun with your new friends." She leaves out the room the barrier still in place from where she was.

"Why do we deal with idiots such as her?" says Hakudoshi. Kagura looks over at him.

"Cause little brother they have no type of sense what so ever." Says Kagura yawning.

"Hello, aren't we supposed to be fighting over here?" Yells koga.

The three looks over at them. "Oh yea that's right we're supposed to be fighting. Let's get this over with," Says Kagura opening up her fan. A strong wind blows in the room.

"Must you show off?" says Hakudoshi. She shrugs.

"Let's begin."

…

Kagome kicks her father sending him into the table that breaks. A feeling comes over her as if someone was waiting outside the door. She could feel him, his aura.

"Inuyasha…"

"So it seems company has arrived." Yuta says getting off the broken table. "Now the fun really begins."

"What are you talking about? It doesn't look like you're having fun. It looks as if you're getting your ass kick."

Yuta fully stands. "Now you see baby girl. Your game has been fun. I see how much you really want to kill me but you see that not going to happen."

Kagome watch as her father eyes turn red and he grow claws and fangs. The aura that is radiating off of him causes the hairs on the back of her neck to stand.

"I thought you were a half demon?" she says take steps back. There was no way she wanted to get to close to him. The fear started to set back in.

"Well I am a half demon. I half demon unlike no other." he takes steps towards her.

"How did you get so much power?" she backs up into the bedpost.

He shrugs. "Father wanted me to have his power. It was his dying wish." Yuta smirks and in seconds he's in front of his daughter. "Are you afraid kagome? Afraid what's gonna become of you, of your friends, of your precious inuyasha?"

He grabs her chin in his hand making her look at him. He smirks at the fear set on her face. All the determination, hopefulness, everything was replace with fear. He loved it, the look, and the smell. He puts his nose in her neck and sniffs.

'Nothing can get better than the smell of fear.' His smirk falls when he also smelt something else mix in. He growls causing kagome to tense up.

'That mutt put his hands on what's mine? He marks what belongs to me? I bet she let him, wanted him to mark her.'

He pulls away a slaps her causing her to fall to the floor. "You smell like the mutt. It's disgusting. To believe my own flesh and blood would scoop so low to lay with dogs."

"Yea well I'll rather be with him then to be in the hands of a bastard like you!" she yells and he kicks her in the stomach. Kagome bits down on her lip to keep from screaming in pain.

She is painful pulled up off the floor by her arm. He father claws dig into her skin. Her back gets pulled into his chest.

"You know kagome-"

"What? No more calling my baby girl?"

His claws tighten causing her to wince. "Such a mouth you have since the last time we…talked like this. But you're not my baby girl anymore. You're a woman…a woman who betrayed me…a woman who reminded me so much of what my mother did, your mother did. Trying to leave me."

He turns her around to face him gripping her shoulders tightly. He leans in, his cheek connected to hers.

"Are you trying to leave me kagome? Run away to be with something you think of as better? Well I'm not going to have It." he looks at the mark on her neck. "First we'll have to get rid of that."

He lowers his head to her neck aiming for the mark but he stops when kagome puts her hands on his chest. A burning sensation goes throughout him. He screams and pulls away.

He looks down at himself to see two burn marks in the shape of handprints. He looks back up at his daughter with pure anger.

"There's no way I'm letting you remove it so it can be replace with yours! I'll rather die than let that happen."

"That can be arranged." He appears in front of her, claws on her neck, as he pins her on the bed. His legs entwined in hers.

"Doesn't this just bring back a feeling of déjà vu?"

Kagome knees him between the legs. He rolls off of hers and she scrambles off the bed.

"Kagome!"

She looks over at the door hearing her name being called. "Inuyasha…" she looks over at her father and answers his question.

"No, cause I wouldn't be in this situation if that had happen." She runs to the door to get out but before she gets there Kikyo walks through. She sees kagome running to the door and puts up a barrier around it.

"Kikyo? Get out of my way!" she says eyes flashing with anger.

"There's no way I'm letting you out." she smirks. Kagome begins to glow walking up to the barrier.

"I advise you to move out of my way."

Kikyo looks at her in shock. 'She's a miko? Yuta forgot to tell me this!'

Kagome stares at Kikyo with pure hate in her eyes. 'I swear when I get my hands on her I'm gonna-'

Her thoughts are cut short when she is grab and thrown across the room. She hits it with a thump and falls to the floor. She inhales sharply. 'Ok I didn't see that coming. Gosh that hurt.'

"You know, I'm getting really tired of this mutt you keep referring to!" He grabs her by the hair and pulls her up.

"When I get done with you I'm going after him myself…that's if he's still alive from fighting Naraku children." Kagome eyes widen slightly.

"Please don't hurt him." Yuta growls and slams her into the wall. "You shouldn't be worried about him," he growls. He digs his fangs into her mating mark.

Inuyasha. 8 minutes back.

"Let's begin."

The Inu gang ready themselves to fight. They watch as the three turn around and face the barrier.

"So how are we going to get this down?" asks Hakudoshi.

"Don't know maybe one of my attacks will work."

They Inu gang falls over amine style except for sesshomaru. They get back up and inuyasha points Tetsusaiga at them. "What the heck is going on?" they look back at him them turn back around to the barrier.

"We need to get through. One of my fans is back there," Complains kagura.

"Is that all you care about?" says Kanna.

"Well, yea. Those fans cost a lot of money."

"Hey!" yells koga. The three turn back around again. "You mind telling us what's going on?"

Kagura turns around to him fully. "We're trying to get out of here since the front is now block off. Darn that Yuta for being such a pain."

"So you're not going to fight us?" says sango stepping forward.

Hakudoshi turns around. "We don't have any reason to fight."

"But the girl killed your father!" yells totosai.

"She has done us a favor." Say Kanna. Kagura snorts. "Yea reminds us to thank her. Our father was one real bastard. I would have killed him myself if he didn't keep a close eye on me. The guy never trusted me. It was all just an act to make Yuta think we're on his side."

Hakudoshi looks over at inuyasha. "You? Half-breed?"

Inuyasha growls. "I have a name. Would you mind using it?"

"You should be less worried about me learning your name and more about the girl, your mate."

Kagura looks his way also. "Oh yes. I almost forgot. Yuta plans to mark her."

"But she has my mark. He can't do that can he?"

"Yes he can." Everyone looks over at sesshomaru. "It is said that if a father is not please with whom his daughter is mated to he can indeed mark her to remove that mark and not allow that person to mark her again."

(Just made that up. Work with me.)

"I also heard that the process can be quite painful for the daughter and the one she's mated to and may results in her death. Usually it's done when the father is quite angry and he can overreact in the process."

"Unless we can get pass this barrier that the idiot has put up kagome might not make it. Cause Yuta is pretty angry right now. I can feel his aura and let's just say that's the reason we went along with this plan," says Kagura. Everyone looks at her. "But we were planning to escape. No way we were gonna get caught up in our father's stupidity." They look away. She sighs.

Everyone turns and looks at the barrier thinking the same thing.

'How the hell are we gonna get pass this barrier?'

Inuyasha starts to think to himself.

'My kagome? MY kagome being took away from me cause of her lunatic of a father? I won't have it. L will never to be able to mark her again? Her being marked by her father and a chance that she might… no I won't let that happen.'

Inuyasha growls looking at the door his eyes tainted red. Everyone looks at him moving forward. "I'll be dam if Yuta takes what's mine." He walks forward holding Tetsusaiga tightly in his hands. The sword begins to pluses and glow red. He brings the sword up over his head.

"I won't let it happen!" he lets the sword fall hitting the barrier. It falls and the door is blown down. Inuyasha rushes in. "He did it!"

"Kagome!"

"We'll stay here." Says Hakudoshi speaking of himself and Kanna.

Kagura nods her head and turns around to see inuyasha rush forward down the hall with the others behind him. His mind set on saving kagome. She follows them. Inuyasha sees a door at the end of the hall.

'Darn all these doors and halls in this place!'

"She's in that room!"

'She is in there I can feel her!'

Inuyasha stops when he feels a stinging pain in the side of his neck.

"What the-" he is cut off when the pain increases. He drops his sword and holds his neck in pain dropping down to the floor on one knee.

"He's trying to remove the mark. Inuyasha is experiencing the same pain that kagome is going through." Kagura says while sesshomaru goes to the fallen inuyasha.

"Well…get in there… cause this…does not feel good at all!" inuyasha says through shaky breaths. They hear a scream come from behind the door. They go to it, sango being in front. She opens the door and gasps her, hands over her mouth, everyone else stopping behind her in shock.

"Oh my gosh, Kagome!"

Here is a new chapter for everyone to enjoy. I hope you like it. Sorry about the cliffhanger. Just seems like the perfect place to stop. I would have posted it sooner today but I was watching the news of Michael Jackson.

I feel very sad that he's gone and his family and friends will be in my prayers for their lost. Michael you will always be remembered in my heart and the hearts of your fans. Michael Jackson R.I.P 1958-2009.
