A/N: Hey guys! I know it's been about forever since I last updated but we've had to adjust to less money and stuff again so it's been hard plus we have all taken turns being sick. Not fun. Anyways I am going to try to update whenever I get time alone cause my son likes to hit the keyboard when I am on the computer which makes it hard to write. I also got an idea for another story, a Sess/Kag story, but I don't wanna start and get people hooked till I can finish this one. Anyways, lets get on with it!

Chapter 25: Take Me Away
~INUYASHA~
I was pacing. There was no stopping it no matter how much Sango threatened. There was nothing that she could do that would hurt me anymore anyways. Three days had already passed and no sign of Kagome. Pacing was all I could do to keep from running around town looking like the lost dog I was. I wasn't even sober. Miroku had gotten me some stuff to calm me down, try to get me to think a little straighter but nothing worked. Even Sango encouraged me to get high for about a day before she noticed it didn't help. Now she only threatened and cursed.
"Inuyasha! Seriously, you've made a fucking path in my hardwood floors! Now stop it before I really tie you up!" Empty threats. She knew if I stopped I was going to run around town. I was going to not only loose my rep as a rock star, but as a demon as well. Demons don't show weakness. Ever, They are strong and can deal with anything. Running around because you lost your mate was considered social suicide. I'd never be able to leave my place without being looked down upon. Didn't matter that I was loosing my mind.
Miroku kept typing away on the computer like he'd been doing since we woke up. Well, since they woke up. I'd laid on the floor trying not to get up and run around. Funny how my mind was getting less sophisticated and trying to make me act like a dog instead of demon.
Miroku was looking for anything on Kagome. He scoured different perv forums and sites, hacking into the police mainframe and downloading her updated file every hour. We reported her missing after our own searches failed. We needed more people and since Kagome was known she wouldn't be able to hide easily. So how was it that she was still lost after almost a week? I wanted to rip peoples heads off.
"Still nothing new. They've searched the whole city but they haven't found any trace of her. They asked street kids and they always say they haven't seen her. No stores have seen her, not even grocery stores or convenience stores. It's like she's off the grid. There's no way she's left town cause they check security at airports & train stations. Either she found a way out or someones got her and doesn't want money." I growled. Didn't have much control over my animal instincts. And when someone, anyone, mentioned anything about Kagome I would growl.
"What about her step father and mother?" Sango asked. She wouldn't go see them, not after what happened.
"Mother died, step father is most likely still in town but no idea where. She didn't really tell us much about where she lived before Koga got her out." I growled again and Sango curse.
"Koga would have known. Why did that fucking wolf have to leave her like this?" I punched the wall and felt the pain of my knuckled splitting. I welcomed pain. Pain meant I would think clear for a few seconds while my brain re-prioritized. Sango's wall had seen better days too but she didn't care. She'd make me fix everything once we got Kagome back. Or she'd do it herself if Kagome wasn't coming back.
"She got her Priestess powers from someone right? They had to have some sort of connection to something sacred for her powers to exist in the first place. I'll call Lady Kaede and see if she can tell me anything about how Kagome could have gotten her powers." Sango got right on the phone, dialling the number she'd called multiple times a day just to keep sane herself. Miroku just started up on the computer again. I started my pacing again too.
~KAGOME~
I opened my eyes again, though they didn't see much. A bed with an old dresser. The same things I saw every time they opened. I'd lost hope. I wasn't going to be seeing anything else, ever. It took a few years but he got me back. The one thing I always vowed would never happen. The thing I was sure wouldn't happen with Inuyasha there to protect me.
Inuyasha...
He was the only one who could keep me from this pain. This darkness. I looked down at my arms. They were covered in scabs of varying color. Some were from just a few hours after I was put into here, right after He did what he wanted. Others were from just before I passed out. I wasn't sure just how much time had gone by since I found Inuyasha and the whore together. She was dead, I knew that much, because I had felt her spirit leaving her body.
Right after I realized where I was I tried to fight but I was drained. I had used everything I had to get away. He'd done a lot of damage in just the first few hours. Things I thought I'd gotten over came back right away. He decided that I was worth more alive then dead. He'd said so himself. I could hear other peoples voices up in the main house. Usually male and never for very long. Apparently he'd become somewhat of a drug lord since I left. Told me it was so he could get info on everything going on and get me back. It had worked. He'd employed Kikyo, and he'd sold drugs to Inuyasha many times. Both of them key parts in what made me come back.
I never ran to the shrine consciously. Maybe it was protection I wanted. It had been my fathers before he died and left it to my mother who left it to Him when she died. Before he came I felt safe and protected under the tree, being able to sense my father watch over me. After all I could feel were his hands on my body. I could always feel his lust and see it any time he looked at me. Even when I told my mom I didn't like him she chose him over me. After he started touching me I told her and she said I asked for it by dressing like a whore.
I had pulled back then. Done everything I could to tear myself away from my body. No on even cared. Everyone thought I was a whore and slept with every one in school. Except for Koga. He never believed the rumors. He knew me better than anyone. So when he got me out I was so grateful. If he hadn't of been like a brother to me we may have started dating. But that would have been to weird. We just stayed together because we cared for each other. Loosing him was harder than I ever thought it would be. Then again I always thought we'd grow old and act nuts at some home.
The door opened and He came down the stairs. I didn't bother covering my almost naked body. He'd done more to me in just a few days than he'd had over the years I lived at the shrine. I just pulled away, thinking of Inuyasha, wishing I would have the courage to slice my veins.

"There are about a million shrines in this city alone! How the hell are we supposed to find which one is owned by Kagome's family?" In the few minutes Sango's phone call had lasted my knuckles had healed and I wanted to break them all over again. I was frustrated beyond belief and I was finding it harder and harder to think straight.
"Miroku can hack into the city's database and find a shrine belonging to the Higurashi family about 20 years ago and then find out who it belongs to now. We get the address and go there." Sango didn't bother yelling. She barely raised her voice. She knew it didn't matter anymore. I didn't want to sit and listen. To take the time to hack into something. I wanted Kagome, and I wanted her bad.
"I'm in. They seriously don't keep these things secure. Anyways, Higurashi...There were five owned by Higurashi's. Apparently they are a very old and sacred family. Related to some powerful Priestess from forever ago...Okay here's something. After Sado Higurashi died he left the shrine to his wife, Aoi. She died a few years ago, leaving the shrine to her second husband. Name is...Oh fuck me." Miroku's eyes caught my attention.
"What? Who the fuck is it?" I glared at him and saw Sango checking the computer.
"Onigumo...Naraku." Fuck.
A/N: OMFG! There you go..hope this can tide you over till I can write again. Maybe she'll be free next chapter? Who knows? I don't. Seriously, I have no idea. The song is during the Kagome part. Please R&R, thanks!
