Chapter 20

The next day Kagome feels well enough to get back to her project she missed out for being sick. From Sango, to her parents and unexpected Inuyasha, she really did lose track on the project's purpose. Her professor promised to privately see how the project ends up. Her phone dings. Kagome unplugs it from the charger to see what the phone is showing on the screen. 'Hey I'm waiting outside.' Sango's name is above the message. 'Be right down.' Kagome texts back. She grabs her backpack and purse that has her keys to unlock the main door and her apartment door when she returns.

Kagome exits the building, looking onto the visitors' parking spots. Strange, Sango isn't in any of them. "Where is she?" Kagome asks herself as she looks around the area. Soon enough the car Kagome knows that Sango drives pulls in. She smiles as she comes up to the passenger side to get in. "Hey Sango." She greets her friend. But then the vents spits out a gas to knock out Kagome. "How naïve you really are, Kagome." Koga's voice speaks to her. Kagome barely tries to be awake to get out of the car. But the doors lock themselves as the driver puts the car in reverse and drives out of the property.

A few minutes later, a car similar to the one that Kagome got in comes into the parking lot. Out comes Sango. She gets to the lobby to ring Kagome's apartment door. "Hey there Sango." The person in the window greets her. "Oh hi there Hiroto. Is Kagome home?" She asks the individual. Hiroto is the doorman of the apartment building. He looks nice and respectful. He is an okay built man in his 40's. "Yeah she just left a few minutes ago. She told me that she was going to ride with you to school." Hiroto tells her. Sango blinks her eyes. "I didn't tell her that. I was coming over to show her something that I found out." Hiroto is confused. "Really. Let me take a look on the surveillance." Hiroto rolls his chair to log into the computer to open up the application that is connected to the monitors. He rewinds it a few seconds until Kagome gets into the car that looks identical to Sango's. Soon enough he zooms in the image to see gas seeping out of the car. "Oh no. I looks like Kagome is kidnapped by someone."

Just hearing widen Sango's eyes. "Oh no. Can you get a picture of the license plate? We should be about to track it down." She grabs hold of the counter. Hiroto zooms in a bit further. "The car doesn't have one." Hiroto sadly tells her. Sango sighs in disbelief. "I have an idea." She smiles as she picks up her cell phone and dials the one number she knows.

Somewhere else the phone ringing is waking up the sleeping Miroku. "Hello?" He speaks tiredly. "Miroku, Kagome has been kidnapped." Sango shouts on the other line. "What?" Miroku is fully awake by that. "The doorman caught the car that looked like mine and the car didn't had a license plate." Sango replies to him. "I'll be right over." Miroku gets dressed. "And bring Inuyasha!" Sango begs him. Miroku groans. "I knew this was going to bite me in the ass." He hangs up and dials his friend's number.

Inuyasha is drinking his coffee. His phone vibrates. He presses the speaker button since his hands are busy. "What is it now, Miroku?" He asks with no interest of the day other then doing his paperwork. "Kagome has been kidnapped." Miroku tells him seriously. "Then go save her." Inuyasha tells him back. "Like hell. The only option is your sense of smell. The car that kidnapped her just left about 10 minutes ago." Inuyasha seems intrigued. "Could you get the license plate from the car?" Inuyasha asks him. "It didn't have one. Besides it was Sango's idea to have me called you." Miroku explains to him. "Fine. I'll be over." Inuyasha hangs up.

Miroku drives to the apartment parking lot. He sees that Sango is waiting impatiently due to her posture she's in. From crossed arms, to tapping her fingers, to constantly check her phone. "Took you long enough." She sneers at him as he gets out of the car. "Well excuse me for trying to get Inuyasha convinced to help out." He speaks back as he comes up to her. "How long ago was the scene?" He gets to the topic. Sango looks at her phone. "About fifteen minutes ago. Where's Inuyasha?" She asks him. "He should be here any minute." Before Sango could ask more of her annoying questions, a new car pulls in. "That's him." Sango blinks her eyes to see the vehicle that pulled in. "He drives that?" Sango is shocked to such a nice car. "He got that from his deceased wife. So, don't speak a word about it." Miroku warns her. Sango nods back.

Inuyasha hops out what turns out to be an SUV of the higher class car brands. "Where was the spot?" He asks immediately. Sango pointed to the spot where the car that kidnapped Kagome. Inuyasha kneels down to one knee to press his fingers onto the fainted tire marks that were left behind. He brings them close to his nose. Just one sniff is more than enough to confirm his thoughts. "They headed to the northwest. Let's go." He tells them nonchalantly to them. Sango and Miroku hopped into the SUV. Sango got into the back seat. She is stunned for how nice the interior of the vehicle provides. Miroku isn't the same way. It appears he's been in this car before. "I know where to go." Inuyasha starts the car and heads of in that direction.

Kagome comes to but to see she's been blindfold, so she can't see her surroundings. Not just blindfolded, but also chained to whatever is attached her wrists and ankles. "Ah you're awake." Koga's voice speaks out to her. Hearing him is sending shivers to Kagome's spine. All of suddenly the blindfold is pulls off of Kagome's face to let her open her eyes to see. She finds herself on a worn out mattress with the chains to the metal bed posts. She looks back to see that Koga is facing his back to her. "Didn't judge made it clear that you weren't supposed near me?" Kagome angrily speaks to him. "Oh on the contrary Kagome. You see you've been misinformed." Koga's voice speaks to her without turning around. "Misinformed of what? For the cases that you raped, and abused me throughout our marriage. I'm through with that since the divorce." Kagome tries her best to get her hands out. "For Koga you knew and loved wasn't really him at all…" That's when the man turned around to exposed his face to Kagome. All Kagome could do is, "No." She spoke in a murmur.
