Naraku had Kagome bought up from the basement. "How are you feeling Kagome?" he asked her.

Kagome slowly raised her head she looked up at him. Her eyes were dull, her face pale.

"I asked you a question." Naraku said getting impatient.

Kagome still didn't answer him. Naraku got up from his seat and walked over to her. "Have I truly broken you?" he asked himself more than her.

He folded his arms as he looked her over. He could see that she had lost weight. He lightly touched her face. Do I really want to kill her, slave or not she is the mother of my child

In his own twisted way Naraku loved her. He walked around her he was now standing behind her, he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Talk to me if you want to live." He told her.

Kagome heard him. "M..master." she said in a raspy voice. "I don't want to die."

Naraku rested his chin on her shoulder. He took his arms from around her waist.

"You need a bath." He said as he led her up the stairs, into his bedroom. He led her into the bathroom turning on the shower.

"Don't take to long." He told her and walked out the bathroom.

Naraku sat down on the bed waiting for her.

Sesshoumaru and Kohaku finally arrived back in Japan, they took a cab back to Bankotsu's home. Sesshoumaru paid the driver and got out the cab with Kohaku. They walked up to Bankotsu's house and rang the doorbell.

Sesshoumaru heard running and music on the other side of the door.

"I said shut up!" Bankotsu yelled as he opened the door.

Sesshoumaru looked at Bankotsu, his once sleek black hair was now all over his face. "Sess, what are you doing back?" He asked.

"It was time to come back." he said as he and Kohaku walked in the house.

Bankotsu closed the door behind him. Sesshoumaru put his bag down on the floor and saw his three pups playing and making a lot of noise.

All it took from Sesshoumaru was a loud growl and Inuyasha, Shippo and Alake all became quite.

All three looked at him, Inuyasha's ears went flat against his head.

"Hello Pups."

The three looked at him as he walked over to them. Inuyasha was the first to speak. "What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I expected a welcome back not some random question." Sesshoumaru said to him.

"Well you could have called." Inuyasha said folding his arms.

"We missed you." Shippo said hugging Sesshoumaru on the leg. Sesshoumaru looked down at Shippo and patted him on the head. "I missed you too." Sesshoumaru told him.

Sesshoumaru's golden eyes moved to Alake. The older Alake got the more he looked like Naraku. Sesshoumaru walked over to him and bent down. Alake pulled on a stand of Sesshoumaru's hair.

Sesshoumaru picked him up in his arms. "Don't worry I'll get her back." Sesshoumaru promised him.

Sesshoumaru sat down in the chair with Alake in his arms. "So what do we, do now?" Kohaku asked as he sat down beside Inuyasha.

"I'm going to go too, Kagome's mom's house and get her and Sota." Sesshoumaru told him.

"Do you think Naraku is back already?" Bankotsu asked as he ran a hand through his hair.

"Most likely, but he has no idea we're back." Sesshoumaru told him.

Sesshoumaru stood up, still holding his son. "I'm going to take Alake along with me." Sesshoumaru told him.

"Okay your car is in the garage." Bank told him.

Sesshoumaru walked in the garage and put Alake in his car seat and got in front and started the car. He backed out the garage and drove off.

He drove till he got to Sakura's home. He parked the car and got out, opening the back door, he took Alake out of his car seat and walked up to the house. He rang the doorbell, and waited for someone to answer the door. When no one did, Sesshoumaru knocked, he saw Sakura's car on the street parked.

"That's odd." he said as he felt Alake playing with his hair. Sesshoumaru broke the lock on the door and walked into the house and looked around.

Nothing was out of place, he walked into the living room and sniffed the air it was very distinct but he smelt it and it made his blood boil. "Naraku." he growled.

Now he knew why no one answered the door, Naraku had taken them. Sesshoumaru left the house and put Alake back in his car seat and drove back to Bankotsu's house.

Sesshoumaru parked the car back in Bankotsu's garage and walked inside with Alake.

"What happened?" Bankotsu asked him as Sesshoumaru handed Alake to Inuyasha.

"Naraku is what happened." Sesshoumaru growled.

"What did he do?" Kohaku asked.

"I don't know what he did yet, but I do know he has Sakura and Sota." Sesshoumaru told him.

"Damn it, what the hell are we going to do?" Bankotsu asked him.

Sesshoumaru walked in the kitchen and put the coffee pot on. "Bank we have to find a woman named Kagura" Sesshoumaru told him as he came out the kitchen.

"Ok I'll get on that." Bankotsu told him.

"She's here." Kohaku said.

"How do you know that?" both Sesshoumaru and Bank asked him.

"I heard Naraku talking to Sango on the phone, he gave orders for Sango to watch Kagura, see Kagura has a daughter named Kanna, she would be maybe 14 now and Naraku wants to kill Kagura for helping Kagome escape" he said.

"So Bank you try finding Kagura." Sesshoumaru told him.

"What are you going to do?" Bankotsu asked him.

"Think of a fool proof plan so Naraku can't stop me." he told him.

Kagome finished her shower, she came out the bathroom in a bathrobe. Naraku was sitting on the bed waiting for her.

"Enjoy your shower?" he asked her.

"Yes, thank you master."

Naraku handed Kagome a black knee length dress. " Get dressed." he told her.

Kagome undid her robe it was no use in fighting with him, he would make her change in front of him anyway.

Once she put the dress on she stood in front of him waiting for his instructions. "Would you like to see your brother?" he asked her.

"Yes please." Kagome said.

Naraku smirked and stood up, Kagome watched as he opened the bedroom door. The next thing she saw was Sota being bought into the room with Naraku closing the door behind him.

Kagome looked at him he had grown so much, she didn't know how he would take being told their mom was dead.

Kagome!" Sota said and ran to her. Kagome placed her hand on his head running her hand through his dark locks.

"Sota I'm glad you're okay" she said looking at Naraku.

Sota looked up at her. "Where's mommy?" he asked.

"She's sleep, she wasn't feeling good." Kagome told him.

"Oh." he said.

"Sota why don't you go and play I have to talk to your sister." Naraku told him.

"Ok." Sota said hugging Kagome one more time before walking back out the bedroom.

"That was nice of me wasn't it?" he asked as he locked the door.

"Yes." she said

"Are you still thinking about your mother?" he asked.

"Why did you have to kill her, wasn't killing Muso enough?" Kagome asked him.

"Your mother was becoming a problem, so she was eliminated." he told her.

Kagome turned her head away. "Now since I spared your life, you will stay mine or else watch me kill Sota as well." he warned her.

Kagome nodded her head, she would have to go along with what he wanted until she was able to escape with Sota.
