Chapter 25: Captured
Ever since Inuyasha made his serious vow to keep a close eye on Kagome, Miroku and Koga are certain that they'd do the same for Sango and Ayame. Kagome is getting awkward about Inuyasha behavior towards her personally. 'Why is he following me? It's not like we're a couple.' Kagome thought to herself as she resumes taking notes in her science class. Then something else crossed her mind. 'Where's Kikyo' Kagome asks herself. So far today she hasn't seen her since banishing her from going into her family shrine. 'It's not that I'm worried or anything. Ever since I met her, learned about her. I became more cautious about it. It'd be as if she's watching me from some unknown shadow close by.'
The bell rings to signal the students that it's time to go home. Most of them are happy to leave the place. Even Kagome. She hurries towards her locker to swap whatever she needs for homework and what needs to be left for the next day. So far she's alone in the hallways. It'd be as if most of the students left the building before her.
As she hurries down the hall, one classroom's door is wide open, a possibility for anyone to see what's going on. Inuyasha happens to be one them. He rests his chin onto his hand with the support of his elbow on the desk. With such posture, it pretty much shows that he's bored. Even taking such notes is nothing interesting from whatever the teacher writes on the board.
As he turns his gazed towards the open door, to see something to be more interesting than the boring notes, he spots Kagome with everything she had in her arms. Confused he looked up towards the clock telling him it's 1:00 pm. 'Why would she have her stuff? It's not time to leave yet. "Takahashi." A teacher shouts out to him. Inuyasha groans. "Do I need to call your brother about your lack of your education?" He asks him with a stern. "No." Inuyasha groans. With such a respond, some of the other students snickered at him. 'I need to get out of here. But how?' Inuyasha asks himself as he pretends to pay attention to the class.
Kagome makes it to her locker. "Finally. Once I gets my stuff settled, I can go home." She smiles as she closes the door and gets to the closest exit. What she has no idea is that a particular person is waiting just for her. Kagome gets a clearer look to see who it is made her eyes widen and gasps. "Kikyo?" Kikyo casual walks up to her with a cold serene look on her face. "Hello Kagome." She greets so far. Sensing something is wrong, Kagome steps back to avoid any contact with the girl. "Why are you so scared? Last time we met, you were brave and yet stubborn to banish me from going to your shrine." Kikyo said as she looks at her fingernails. "I did that because you're nothing but a fraud. You're not even worthy to enter such a sacred place." Kagome managed to glare back to her.
Kikyo just chuckles. "Me? A fraud? Please. I'm more capable of a priestess than you. I was just naïve and you to be lucky to cast that spell on me. You did catch me off guard by surprise." Kagome is about to run away, Kikyo position her fingers. Soon enough a dome like shield holds down Kagome. "It's no use. That shield not only stops you, but leaves you blacked out." Kikyo explains how her spell works. Kagome tries to resist the spell's powers, but it was too much for her. In seconds Kagome drops to her knees and collapses onto the group. Just before her eyes are about to closed, one thing escapes her lips. "Inu…yasha…" She faints into the darkness.
Kikyo walks up to fallen girl. "If you think your friends are coming to find you, I made sure that your scent is naturalized so they wouldn't be able to really that neither of us were here at all." She said cruelly as repositions her fingers to levitate the shield and make it disappeared. Shortly after that Kikyo disappears as well. But little did she noticed, a certain person saw the whole scene.
The bell rings to end the last class of the day. "Finally." Inuyasha speaks with such annoyance in his eyes. As he gets his bag, Ayame comes in. "Inuyasha." She runs up to him. "What is it?" Inuyasha asks with concern. "It's Kagome…" She speaks after few pants. "What about her?" Inuyasha asks her. "She's been kidnapped." She speaks clearly once her breathing is in rhythm. Inuyasha as he widnes his eyes. "Who did it?" Inuyasha asks slowly and calmly. Ayame's eyes sadden. "Kikyo." She tells him.
Inuyasha's eyes widens even more. "Kikyo? How did she do it?" He grabs a hold of Ayame's shoulders. "She somehow cast a few spells. The first was dome and it knocked out Kagome. The second made it disappears and she did the same thing to herself. It's good thing I saw." Ayame explains to him. "It's a good thing your part of that agency." Inuyasha calms down. "We need to go to my brother's house." Inuyasha claims as he and Ayame get out of the school.
Koga runs to her. "Ayame. What happened?" He grabs her into his arms. "Kagome's been kidnapped by Kikyo." Inuyasha said to him. "That bitch again?" Koga raised his eye. Inuyasha just nods. "She's still angry about me taking care of Kagome ever since she casted that spell." Miroku and Sango come in as well. "That girl is nothing but a dam whore." Sango comments about her. Miroku agrees. "Alright we should go to my brother's house, and get a few answers from the imposter." Inuyasha declares as they all head towards Sesshomaru's place.
Inuyasha and his friends make it to his brother's place. Once at the door, an old man opens the door. "Why master Inuyasha, I never expected you to come." He bows to him. Inuyasha gives back a sour. "Cut the creepy, Myoga. Where's Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha walks passed him into the mansion. Like any other mansion, there's an elegant stair case in a curved way up to the next level. But this is no time to have tour around the place. For now. "Master Sesshomaru is downstairs in his basement." Myoga answers Inuyasha's earlier question. "Good. Because I know he's not the only one down there." Inuyasha walks towards the door that goes down to the basement.
Realizing what Inuyasha said Myoga intervenes. "You will do no such thing." He gets in from the hanyou. "Are you hiding something from me, Myoga?" Inuyasha leans down closer to the butler face-to-face. Myoga sweats with a nervous express. Inuyasha cracks his knuckles. "It appears that you know something that I don't. Now spill it out." He demands in the end.
Just right before Inuyasha hits him, Miroku and Koga grab hold of his arm. "Enough, Inuyasha. It's best that we don't get informed from what Myoga is hiding from you." Inuyasha pulls his arm out of his friend's grip. "I have every right to know so I can learn from where Kagome has been taken." He reasons with him. Sango and Ayame come forth. "We all know how worried about you are for her safety. It'd be best that we wait until your brother comes out." Sango suggests him. Ayame sighs, "But there's no telling how long he'll be down there." She comments to her.
Koga nods to them. "True. It'd be down right rude of you to march down there and demand such things from him." Inuyasha narrows his golden eyes with disbelief. Knowing that Koga is right and has a point at well. But the problem is that the longer they're going have to wait for his brother to come, the more time Kagome is possibly suffering from whatever happens to her.
