Chapter one

View point: Kagome

~O~

Finely! I thought as I walked with Sango to the hot spring. Sango was humming as I washed my ebony hair.

" Your sure sound happy" I point out. Sango smiled widely

" Oh Kagome! I cant wait" Sango said happily. Sango couldn't wait to see her brother, Kohaku. It was only last week that we saved Kohaku from Naraku.

I was running after Sango, who was about to knock over Kohaku. The braches kept hitting me, As I caught up to Sango who was holding him down.

" Remember if this don't work you'll put the shard back in" Sango said soberly. I had nodded too nervous to speak.. As I pulled the shard out Kohaku was cringing into the dirt. Sango put him into her lap and started rocking him gently as he cried.

" It's ok, it wasn't you fault. I love you" Sango kept saying.

" I'm so sorry" Kohaku whispered into her shoulder. He had asked to stay at the village for awhile then join our group.

Soon we were dry and walking back to camp. Shippo jumped into my arms

" We are having fish!" Shippo cheered. I smiled and hugged him closer to me. A I was about to sit down, a slap rang through our campsite.

" You'll never learn!" Sango huffed. I glanced around looking for Inuyasha. I sighed sadly knowing once again he went to see Kikyo, for there was a soul stealer. I held Shippo tighter to me.

" Kagome are you ok?" Shippo asked looking up at me.

" Yeah I'm fine" a another lie I smiled at him. Sango came over and sat next to me and hugged me.

" lets go after him, and beat the clay pot" Sango whispered in my ear with a dangerous gleam. I blinked at her and was dragged to my feet. My heart pounded as we followed, well me being pulled and Sango following.

As we came to the edge of a clearing my mouth popped open. Inuyasha was stripping Kikyo's clothes.

oh kami I thought numbly as Sango quickly turned me around and started walking quickly back to the camp. I held back tears as we walked but as Shippo looked up at me, I started sobbing.

Sango held me as Shippo clung to me. After a while Miroku said " He will hurt for this" in so much anger. " Thank you, Miroku" I whispered.

" The fish is done" Shippo said handing me one.

Soon I curled up in my sleeping bag with Shippo in my arms. I awoke to Inuyasha saying

" Get the hell up! We have shards to get". I burred deeper into my sleeping bag.

" Damn it Kagome, did you hear me" Inuyasha said frustrated.

"Ahhh, Sit, Sit ,Sit, Sit ,SIT BOY!" I yelled as I jumped out of the sleeping bag.

" You-" Inuyasha called up but I cut him off by yelling sit five more times.

I hurriedly grabbed my stuff and ranway from Inuyasha. Tears streamed down my face as I ran. I sadly tripped over a root. Laughter rang out, I looked up and froze. There stood Naraku. I quickly got up and grabbed my bow and notched an arrow. But before I could shoot everything went black.

As I sat up, I groaned my head hurt like it was stepped on by something heavy. And once again my mouth popped open in shock. Sesshomaru was knocked out beside me. I got up and ran only to find out I could only go twenty-five feet from Sesshomaru. Naraku must have put a spell on me so I cant get away from Sesshomaru ,I'm gonna die . I thought with dread

But she didn't know was that the rest of her group was bound the same way to an unlikely person.

Chapter Two

View point: Sesshomaru

~O~

Sesshomaru dropped a rabbit into Rin's hand.

" Thank you Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin cried out in delight. Rin got out the knife I gave her for her second birthday that she was with me , and started skinning the rabbit.

" Sesshomaru-sama, do you think we can go over to see Kagome and Shippo? Please!" Rin asked looking up at me with those big brown eyes.

" please?" Rin asked again. I let out a sigh and said " After you are done eating" sadly Rin know my weak spots, which was the big doe eyes.

She'll be wanting to be with humans now I thought with a pang of loss and disappointment. I walked and sat beside Au-Un as Jaken mumbled something about human eating habits.

" Ready!" Rin yelled with her mouth slightly still full. I watched at Rin grabbed Jaken and hopped onto Ah-Un and snuck them a piece of rabbit. I got up and started leading the way to Inuyasha's group. I stopped and took out Bakusaiga, Kagura's scent was drifting towards us.

" Jaken take Rin and go and keep her safe or else it will be your head"

" Y-yes milord" Jaken stuttered. She wasn't alone, another incarnation was with her. In less than a minute Kagura arrived in the clearing, with a dark green haired incarnation. I quickly attacked before they could. Bakusaiga was blocked by the green haired incarnation. I quickly sliced into his knee.

" Dance of the dragon!" Kagura yelled with a flick of her fan. I quickly doge it and plunge Bakusaiga through her chest. As I ripped my sword from her chest I heard Rin scream. I quickly sliced the green haired incarnation and ran in the direction of Rin's scream and scent. But I never made it for everything went black.

~O~

Point of view: Rin

" I hope Sesshomaru-sama is ok" I said with worry clinging to the words.

" Lord Sesshomaru is the most powerful demon alive, of course he'll be fine" Jaken said with confidence. An arrow whizzed by Jaken's head , and he gave a loud squeak and fell off An-Un.

"Jaken, you should be more careful" I told him as Ah-Un landed. I sighed softly and knelt down by Jaken and started helping him up when pain, like when I died by wolves, ripped through my back. I couldn't help it I screamed then everything went black.

" Rin , Rin please wake up!" Shippo all but yelled in my ear. I blinked open my eyes and quickly shut them again for the sunlight hurt.

" C'mon , we have been taken from our friends! We'll have to make camp soon" Shippo said while pulling me to my bare feet.

" I hope Jaken and Sesshomaru-sama are not hurt!" I cried and grabbed Shippo's hand.

" It's ok they'll be fine" Shippo said pulling me closer and gently rubbing our hands together.

" Thank you" I barely whisper as we walked.

" Lets find a river and make camp near there" I say ducking down so a branch wont hit me. Shippo smiled and nodded. After walking awhile I started my mindless chatter. Shippo as it turned out was the perfect listener and said as much as I said. Shippo's laughter in harmony with mine, rang out as we came cross a small stream flowing with fat fish.

" It's perfect!" I said with happiness.

" Well, there is a place we can camp at." Shippo said as I ran into the stream.

Point of view: Inuyasha

" Get back here!" I yelled. I was about to after her when Koga and his two pack mates came running over.

" Hey dog face where's Kagome?" Koga asked. I just growled when Naraku ripped into the clearing, and everything went black.

" Ghh" I groaned and sat up. There was no scent's of my friends anywhere. I growled low in my throat and ran only to get thrown back and once again everything went dark.

" Get up" Koga snarled in my ears. I sat up and rubbed my head.

" We can only go about twenty-five feet from each other or else we'll fall or get thrown back" Koga stated. I glared at him.

" Now, Now" I quickly turned around and launched myself at Naraku only to get thrown back. "Stupid" Koga muttered.

" If you can find me and kill me you'll get the jewel shards and Kagome and Kikyo" Naraku said.

" why are you doing this?" I yelled at him.

Naraku chuckled and said " I want some entertainment, and you'll die anyway, and I don't have all the jewel shards just yet" and disappeared.

Point of view: Kagome

It's ok your fine, you'll be fine .I kept thinking trying to convince myself. I let out a high pitch squeak as Sesshomaru pinned me against a tree by my neck. That was when I noticed that he now had both of his arms.

" Were is Rin?" he grounded out between clenched fangs.

" I don't know" I managed to say without stuttering. He let out a growl that made my blood freeze with fright. He dropped me to the ground , well on to some painful tree roots.

" Ouch" I muttered under my breath. Sesshomaru turned to leave.

" Wait! You cant go more than twenty-five feet from each other!" I called out quickly and ran after him. So that was how I spent my afternoon, running after one of the strongest Youkai alive.

Finely I just stopped and sat down, it was only about five seconds when Sesshomaru came back growling.

" Get up" He growled out

"No, I'm tired" I huffed angrily. ha who is he to think he can boss me around!

" Now or else!"

" No I'm not gonna move from this spot, I'm tired" I said, glaring. " males!" I muttered.

Sesshomaru just turned on his heel and sat down as far from me as he could get. I was on the bridge of falling asleep when Sesshomaru shot up from were he was sitting and quickly took out a new sword.

" If you want Rin and Shippo alive you will kill my incarnations and me , or else you'll be dead." Then Naraku was gone.

Shippo
