CHAPTER 1:

NARAKU NO KIKEN NA WANA

(NARAKU'S DANGEROUS TRAP)



Inuyasha and Co.were on a journey to find the shikon no kakeras and their main enemy,Naraku.The group includes,Inuyasha,who is a hanyou(half- demon)searching for the shikon no kakeras to become a full youkai and to look for Naraku so he can take his revenge because Naraku is the one who made him and Kikyou(a miko,who Inuyasha likes) hate each other,Kagome,a teenage girl from the present day who has been pulled down into an old well at her house by a youkai,Mistress Centipede,she is Kikyou's reincarnation and has some powers of her,she is able to sense and see the shikon no kakera, she has some feelings for Inuyasha,Miroku,a hentai houshi(pervert monk),he searches for Naraku to break his curse,the kaza-ana,his grandfather got from Naraku.It has been passed down to his father and now him,and if he doesn't kill Naraku,eventually,the kaza-ana will suck him also,Sango,a youkai-taijiya(demon exterminator),she searches for Naraku to get revenge for killing her brother,her father,her taijiya members,and the village people of the taijiya,it seems that she has some feelings for Miroku,Kirara,is her pet youkai,it is a cat-like fox/squirrel that transform huge when it is mad or when it is ready to fight,and last,Shippou,a cute little Kitsune-youkai(fox demon) that has been with the group ever since they helped him get revenge from the Raijyuu kyoudai,HitenManten(Lightning brothers,HitenManten).

All of them has some sort of hatred towards Naraku except for Shippou and somewhat Kagome,since Naraku didn't do anything bad to them.But,their goal is to defeat Naraku.

"Oi(hey) Kagome,do you sense any shikon no kakera yet?"asks Inuyasha

"Wait..."Kagome said searching around the place

She sees a faint glow from a mountain in front of them.

'What's that?'thought Kagome

"Well?"Inuyasha asked again

"Umm...I'm not sure if it's a shikon no kakera but I see a faint glow from those mountains,"said Kagome pointing towards the mountains in front of them.

"I also sense a strong jaki(evil aura???) around the area of the mountain,"said Miroku

"So,you think Naraku might be there too?"asks Sango

"Probably,since he is the only one that can send out all those jaki,"said Miroku staring at the mountain curiously

"Ke!!Who cares!Lets just go there!!!!!,"said Inuyasha

"Inuyasha,is that all what you can think of?You know,Naraku,he must be setting traps around the mountain,I'll just bet that you'll be the first one caught in the trap with your simple mind,"said Shippou

"What'd you just say!!!?"Inuyasha shouted angrily

"Gyaaa~~~,Kagome~~!Inuyasha is going to kill me!"said Shippou,hiding behind Kagome

"Inuyasha,Shippou-chan's got a point.Naraku can be setting traps,"said Kagome

"Don't tell me you're taking sides with him!!"said Inuyasha

While Inuyasha and Kagome was argueing.....meanwhile in the forest nearby.

"Sesshoumaru-sama~~~~!!!!"

"What is it,Jaken?"asks Sesshoumaru walking through the woods with Jaken trying to come up with him

Sesshoumaru is Inuyasha's older half brother.He is a full youkai instead of a hanyou like Inuyasha.They both share the same father but have different mother.It seems that he hates ningens(human) and hanyous a lot.He is cold- hearted,but he is a skilled fighter.Jaken is his servant but you usually find him threatening him or stepping on him.Later on,he saves a small girl named Rin with his sword he has recieved from his father,Tenseiga.From that time and on,Rin follows him around but he doesn't mind about it.He also searches for Naraku because he,Naraku,well kinda messed up his pride.

"Is it true that Naraku is around this area?"said Jaken

"I can smell him,he's near,"said Sesshoumaru

"Who's Naraku,Jaken-sama?"asks Rin on the two-headed dragon

"Naraku is that idiot youkai who tried to kill Sesshoumaru-sama,and now Sesshoumaru-sama wants to kill him,"said Jaken

"Hmmm..."said Rin and looks to side

She sees Kohaku standing between some trees.

'Eh?Koha..ku?'Rin thought looking surprised

"Hm?What's wrong,Rin?"said Jaken

"E..Eh?Oh,nothing.."said Rin

She glances back at the spot Kohaku was standing but he was gone.Then she looks up at Sesshoumaru,'I wonder if Sesshoumaru-sama is going to kill Kohaku if he meets him again..'

Sesshoumaru looks annoyed.

'But I have no idea...,why is Naraku purposely leaking out his scent?'He glances to his side.'And....this scent.....,Inuyasha.'

"Sesshoumaru-sama?Is..anything wrong?"asks Jaken

Sesshoumaru smirks to himself.

'So...,Inuyasha is also looking for Naraku,huh?Not if I find him first...'

Inuyasha and co were now walking towards the mountain.

Suddenly,Kagome stops.

"Wait,Inuyasha..."said Kagome

"Hm?What is it,Kagome?"asks Inuyasha

"I sense another shikon no kakera's kehai....and it's near,"said Kagome

"What!?"said the group

"Eh?Wa...Wait.The kakera is moving.It's moving..."said Kagome and points out,

"..towards that mountain,"

"Naraku,ka(huh)!!"said Inuyasha,his hand on Tetsusaiga.

"And...I think that the kakera is only one..."added Kagome

"Eh?"said Sango

'Kohaku?'she thought

Kohaku is Sango's younger brother.He was killed by Naraku,but then was revived by the shikon no kakera in his back by Naraku himself.Now,he is controlled by him.

"I don't know..."said Kagome

Inuyasha was sniffing the air around him and starts growling.

"What's wrong,Inuyasha?"asks Kagome

Kirara starts growling also.

"Houshi-sama,do you sense that?"asks Sango

"Yes,..it's an unincredibably huge amount of jaki(again...evil aura??),"said Miroku with a serious expression.

"Ke!(Bah)Come on!Let's go bursting in his castle!This time,I'm not going to lose him....I'm gonna...KILL HIM!!!!"said Inuyasha crackling his knuckles.

A view of Naraku's castle on top of the mountain.

Naraku was sitting down with Kanna beside holding up her mirror to him.

Kanna is Naraku's first offspring.She is made of "mu",which means nothingness.She holds a mirror which takes/steals peoples soul.She is usually quiet and hardly talks.

In the mirror,was a reflection of Inuyasha.

"Kukuku......so,they're coming to kill I,Naraku,huh?"said Naraku

Naraku is the main villain in the whole Inuyasha series.A lot of people thinks he's a youkai but he really is a hanyou.He collects the shikon no kakera to become a full youkai just like Inuyasha wants to.He really was a ningen name Onigumo,Onigumo fell in love with Kikyou so he gave his body to many youkai if they make him able to move,and thats how Naraku was born.(Sorry,I'm getting lazy to explain all the characters.I mean what's the use?You guys should already know who they are)

'Inuyasha....now is the time to finish you once and for all...'Naraku thought

The reflection of the mirror changes to Sesshoumaru.

Kagura was behind him.

Kagura is one of Naraku's offspring and is Kanna's younger sister.She is made of wind.She doesn't really act or talk as what lady's usually do.She actually is somekind of a tomboy.She hates Naraku but cannot kill him since Naraku holds her heart.All she wants to do is to be free like the wind.

'What is Naraku up to?I don't know about Inuyasha but how is he going to stand up againsts Inuyasha's Aniki(Older brother) Sesshoumaru?He knows that he won't be able to defeat that full youkai,'Kagura thought

Naraku glances behind him.

"Kagura..."said Naraku

"Go and call Kohaku,I have something to do for him,"

Kagura disappears in a gust of wind.

Naraku smirks to himself.

Inuyasha with Kagome on his back was charging towards Naraku's castle.

"I smell him!!His castle must be around here!"shouted Inuyasha

"Be careful,Inuyasha.You don't know what kind of traps Naraku can have!"shouted Miroku from behind on Kirara with Sango and Shippou

"Ke!!I can't be scared the whole time!!"shouted Inuyasha

Several Saimyoushos appears in front of them.

"You're in the way!!!"shouted Inuyasha raising his hand

"SANKON.......TESSOU!!!!!!!!!"

He rips through the Saimyoushos.

"Inuyasha!!!Can you slow down a bit!?"shouted Kagome behind him

"Kagome....hang on!!!!"shouted Inuyasha as though he wasn't listening

He jumps off a cliff.

"Kyaaaaaaaaa~~~~~~~~!!!!!!"shouted Kagome

Inuyasha lands on the ground while Kagome falls off him and lands on the bushes.

"Kagome...are you.."He sees that she was missing.

"Ka..Kagome!!!?"

"I....Inuyasha~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!"said Kagome popping out of the bushes.

"What,..you're alright.You made me worried,stupid,"said Inuyasha

"OSUWARI!!!!!!!!!(SIT)"shouted Kagome

"Gwa!!!!(Argh)"

Inuyasha slammed his face to the ground.

"*Bakabakabaka~~~~~~~~!!!!I almost died!!!!"shouted Kagome angrily (*- "Stupidstupidstupid")

"*Te....temee~~~~"said Inuyasha veins popping out from his head,"That doesn't mean you have to do that!!!!"(*-"Yo...You~~~~")

Sango,Miroku,and Shippou on Kirara comes down right after.

"It looks like,Naraku,knows that we're here,"said Miroku

He sees Inuyasha and Kagome facing their backs againsts each other.

"Uh....did you guys fight again?"asks Sango

They both didn't answer.

Jaken and Rin(on the two head dragon) was walking through the forest.

"Please wait...Sesshoumaru-sama!"said Jaken

Sesshoumaru was far off from where they were.

He suddenly stops.

"Eh?Is something wrong,Sesshoumaru-sama?"asks Jaken

Sesshoumaru pulls out Toukijin and cuts through the trees in front of him.

"Geh?"said Jaken surprisedly

Rin was looking at it concerned.

Kikyou appears in front of them holding her bow.

Kikyou is a miko(priestess) who held and protected the Shikon no Tama from getting into the hands of evil youkais.She fell in love with Inuyasha and Inuyasha fell in love with her too.But then they both were tricked by Naraku and eventually they killed or actually died together thinking that they betrayed each other.But she was revived by,Urasue,and her body is made of soils and bones.Now her soul is full of hatred towards Inuyasha and she wants to kill him and sent him to hell.But she usually is peaceful and kind when she is not around Naraku or Inuyasha or anybody related to Inuyasha.

"Youkai.....ka(huh),"said Kikyou coldly

"O..Onna?(Woman)"said Jaken

"Kisama wa...dareda?(Who are...you)"said Sesshoumaru

"It's none of your bussiness..."said Kikyou

She sees Rin on the two-headed dragon.

"I want you to let go of that little girl.."she added

Sesshoumaru stares at her with a cold expression.

Kikyou raises her bow and pulls her arrow.

"I told you to let her go.."said Kikyou again

"*Kotowaru...tto ittara dousuru?(*-What if I refuse?)"said Sesshoumaru and narrows his eyes

"Then...die,"said Kikyou and lets go of her arrow

A blue streak of light goes straight towards Sesshoumaru while Jaken was stuttering behind him.

"Ge..ggg..geh!!!!!"said Jaken

The arrow hits the ground narrowly missing Jaken while Sesshoumaru easily dodges it.

"Gya!!"said Jaken and gets blown by the force.

Rin was looking at it in horror.

'Se...Sesshoumaru-sama..'Rin thought worriedly

A huge crater appears in front of Rin and the two-headed dragon.

"Hou(Oh-ho)....."said Sesshoumaru and lands on the ground softly beside Kikyou,

"You do quite well for a ningen...."

"I won't miss the next one..."said Kikyou holding her bow up again

'This woman.....she looks like someone I know...,'Sesshoumaru thought,'yes....she is similar to that komusume(young girl) that was with Inuyasha..'

He had flashbacks of Kagome pulling out the Tetsusaiga,her arrow aimed at him,and breaking his armour.

"Die!!!!"said Kikyou letting go of her arrow

Sesshoumaru dodges the arrow and appears in front of her.

He caught Kikyou's throat and picks her up from the ground.

"Ku(Urgh)!!!!"said Kikyou sweat dropping from her face

Sesshoumaru's poison burns her throat.

"You will be the one dying..."said Sesshoumaru

He notices that Kikyou's hands were on his arm that caught her throat.

"I..I won't be..killed from a youkai like you!!!"said Kikyou

A burst of blue light flashes from Kikyou's hands.

Sesshoumaru lets go of her and Kikyou drops to the ground holding on to her throat.

His clothes/kimono were all burned and steams were coming out from it.

He stares at Kikyou coldly while she coughs furiuosly

...and turns around.

"Ikuzo,Jaken...(We're going,Jaken)"said Sesshoumaru

"E..Eh?You..You're not killing her?"said Jaken

"What is the use of killing a mere woman?"said Sesshoumaru and walks off

"..Ah..Please wait,Sesshoumaru-sama~~~!!!!"said Jaken and follows him

"Sayonara~~!!!!(Good-bye)"said Rin to Kikyou and follows after him on the two-headed dragon

Inuyasha and co.arrives in front of Naraku's castle.

A lot of youkais blocks their way.

"Ke!!Zakoyoukai-domo ga!!!!!(Weakling youkais)"said Inuyasha drawing Tetsusaiga

Naraku was on the top portion of the castle looking down at Inuyasha and co.fighting off the youkais.

"Almost...."said Naraku,he holds up the almost complete shikon no kakera.

"Just a few more kakeras and the shikon no tama is complete.."he said

It seems that Kagome has the rest of the kakeras.

"Kohaku..."said Naraku

Kohaku appears behind him kneeling down.

"You know what to do,"Naraku said looking down at Kagome

"Hai(Yes),Naraku-sama..."said Kohaku

He leaves and Kanna comes up.

She holds up the mirror to him.

"So....Sesshoumaru has reached the castle.."said Naraku

Sesshoumaru stops in front of the castle.

(He's on the other side,the back side of the castle,while Inuyasha is at the entrance)

"This is...Naraku's castle?"said Jaken

"I can smell his scent....it must be here..."said Sesshoumaru looking off at it coldly

He turns around.

"Rin...you stay here with Jaken."he added

"Ha~~~~i,"said Rin with a worried expression

Sesshoumaru walks into the castle.

"Se..Sesshoumaru-sama,please be careful!"said Jaken

A crack of energy surrounds Sesshoumaru as he walks further into the castle.

'It's no use,Naraku,your jaki won't affect me..'

Inuyasha and Co.were fighting off some youkais.

"Damn!!It's no use!They just keep coming and coming!!!!"said Inuyasha

"Hiraikotsu!!!"

Hiraikotsu slashes through some youkais.

Miroku could not use his kaza-ana because Saimyoushous were surrounding them.

Kagura appears in front of them.

"What's up,Inuyasha?Still haven't kill these zakoyoukais?"said Kagura

"Kagura!!!"said Inuyasha

Kagura lets loose some wind blades.

Inuyasha,Sango,and Miroku tries dodging them.

"Ku!!"said Inuyasha

"Inuyasha~~,be careful!!"shouted Kagome

She didn't realize Kohaku was behind her.

He was raising up his chain blade??? weapon.

"Eh!?"said Kagome and looks back

Kohaku swings down his weapon.

..and it slashes Kagome's right shoulder.

"Ko..haku-kun?"said Kagome and collapse on the ground.

Inuyasha sees Kohaku holding Kagome up.

"Kagome~~~~!!!!"shouted Inuyasha

"Hey,Inuyasha.You're opponent is me!"said Kagura and lets loose some wind blades again

"Ku!!Chikushou!!!(Dammit)"said Inuyasha and blocks them with Tetsusaiga

"Kirara!!"said Sango

Sango rides on Kirara and goes after Kohaku.

"You're not running away!"said Kagura and raises up her fan

"RYUUJA NO MAI!!"

Screw-like winds goes towards Sango and Kirara and hits them.

"Aaaah!!!"shouted Sango and falls off Kirara

She drops to the ground.

Kohaku runs into the castle with a uncouscious Kagome in his arms.

"Kagome!!!!"shouted Inuyasha

"Looks like our plan worked!"said Kagura and disappears in the wind.

Inuyasha runs after them but several youkais blocked him.

"You're in the fuckin' way!!!!"shouted Inuyasha angrily

"KAZE NO KIZU!!!!!!!!!"

The force of the Kaze No Kizu blows away the youkais into pieces.

The entrance of the castle closes.

"Kagome~~!!!!!"shouted Inuyasha dashing forward to the entrance.

Shouki(Miasma) surrounds the castle.

"Ku!!"said Inuyasha and stops.

"Kagome....."he said looking off at the castle

"KAGOME~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!"Inuyasha shouted

He then drops to his knees and starts banging on the ground.

"Chikushou!!Chikushou!!Chikushou!!!!(Dammit!!Dammit!!Dammit!!!!)"shouted Inuyasha

"Inuyasha.."said Miroku

Sesshoumaru cuts down some youkais with his Toukijin.

"Hmph....,katou youkai-domo ga(low youkais),"he said

He then sees Kohaku running holding Kagome who is still uncouscious.

"Ano kozou,(That kid)....,"

Inuyasha was on the ground not moving.

"Inuyasha,let's go and rescue Kagome-sama,"said Miroku putting his hand on Inuyasha's shoulder.

"Yeah...I guess you're right.."said Inuyasha and stood up

"Kagome.."said Shippou worriedly

"But,how do we get through the walls of shouki?"asks Sango

"We can't even use Kirara to go over it....,it's like a kekkai,"she added

Suddenly,they all sensed something and turned around.

Kikyou was walking out of the forest behind them.

"Ki....Kikyou,"said Inuyasha surprisedly

"I'd never thought of seeing you here...Inuyasha,"said Kikyou and smiles softly

She noticed something.

"Where is that onna that was with you the whole time...,"she said coldly

"Ka..Kagome?Sh..She's been kidnapped by Naraku,"said Inuyasha and tries to avoid Kikyou's eyes.

"Hmph.."said Kikyou as she smirks

"So..Naraku is already planning to complete the shikon no kakera,"she said

"Shikon no Kakera!!!?So that's the reason why Naraku kidnapped Kagome- sama.Because she has the rest of the shikon no kakeras!"said Miroku

"..And Naraku,ordered Kohaku to do the job?"said Sango

"Probably.."Miroku said

"Ku!"said Sango 'Just wait,Kohaku.Soon I will free you from Naraku's hand...'

Kikyou raises her bow and aims her arrow towards the entrance of the castle.

"I am going to kill Naraku,you go and rescue that onna,...Kagome was her name,right?Inuyasha,"said Kikyou

"Uh..Y..Yeah,"said Inuyasha

Kikyou releases her arrow and a blue streak of light goes straight towards the entrance.

The shouki disappears and the entrance was destroyed.

"Now go.."said Kikyou

"Kikyou.....be careful when you fight with Naraku.."said Inuyasha

Kikyou smiles at him a little sadly.

"Yes...I will be,"said Kikyou

She puts her hands on his cheeks and kisses him.

"Inuyasha...you be careful too...,"said Kikyou

Miroku and Sango watches them disgustingly.

"Come on,Inuyasha!We must hurry!!"said Miroku

"A..ah,y..yeah.."said Inuyasha,he looks at Kikyou again,"I'm going now..."

They run into the castle on Kirara.

Inuyasha looks back but Kikyou was not there anymore.

'Kikyou....'

Kagome finds herself in a room.

"Where..am I?"asks Kagome to herself

"Where's Inuyasha!!!!?"she shouted

"So...you woke up,"said a voice behind her

"Eh?"said Kagome and turns around

Naraku steps out of the darkness.

"Naraku!!!"said Kagome surprised

She had a flashback of Kohaku slashing her shoulder.

Naraku walks closer to her and kneels down to her height.(Note:She's sitting down ^ ^)

"I'll be having...."he said

He reaches his hand to her chest and takes the shikon no kakeras.

"the shikon no kakeras..."

"Shikon no kakera!!!Give it back!!!"said Kagome and tries to get it back but Naraku smacks her away.

"Now I have no use of you..."said Naraku,"Kohaku.."

Kohaku appears behind them with his chain blade weapon.

"Kohaku-kun...."said Kagome

"Kagome wo Korose(Kill Kagome),"said Naraku

Kohaku's shikon no kakera glows.

He then raises his weapon as Kagome covers her eyes.

'Inuyasha~~~~~~~~!!!!!!'

Kohaku suddenly sensed something and backs away.

"Hou..."said Naraku

'Eh?'

Kagome opens her eyes and looks up.

Sesshoumaru was standing over her raising his right arm.

"Sesshoumaru-sama,I never thought you will be able to go through my castle..."said Naraku

"Hmph...,Naraku,you're katou youkais and your shouki wasn't even able to affect me.And now..I am here to kill you,"said Sesshoumaru with a cold expression

Kohaku steps up.

"That is...if you get to me,Sesshoumaru-sama,"said Naraku and smirks

'Se..Sesshoumaru!?Why is he here!?'Kagome thought with a surprised expression

Kohaku charges towards him,his weapon raised up.

Sesshoumaru just watches him coming coldly.His hand was on Toukijin's handle.

'No!!Sesshoumaru is about to kill him!!!!!!!' Kagome reached for her bow and arrow.

She shoots it towards Kohaku's weapon.

"No!!Kohaku-kun!!Don't do it!!!!"shouted Kagome

Her arrow hits his weapon and he drops it.

"Onna....,"said Naraku

Kohaku reaches for his sword that was on his back.

But Sesshoumaru moved first.He smacks Kohaku away and charges towards Naraku.

"Shine!!!(Die)"said Sesshoumaru pointing Toukijin towards him

It's ken-atsu slashes through Naraku and the walls behind him destroying it.His clothes were all ripped and there were several cuts on his body.

'He's not..dead yet..'Kagome thought

Shouki surrounds Naraku.

"It seems that your life ends here....Naraku,"said Sesshoumaru and smirks

"Kukuku....Sesshoumaru-sama.It seems that you are mistaken..."

Sesshoumaru makes an annoyed expression.

Kanna appears behind him but no one notices except Naraku.

"Sesshoumaru-sama,though you'd refuse,you'll be helping me kill Inuyasha....and finish him once and for all.."said Naraku as shouki covers him up.

'Kill Inuyasha!!?Sesshoumaru will help him!?What is he talking about?'Kagome thought

Sesshoumaru watches him coldly as shouki gets closer to him.

"Hmph....I only hear it as a bad loser..."said Sesshoumaru and points Toukijin towards him again.

It's ken-atsu goes straight towards Naraku.

"If Naraku gets hit by this again,he won't stand a chance!"said Kagome

"Hmph..."Naraku said and turns around.

Kanna was behind him holding up her mirror.

'That girl!!!!!'Kagome thought surprised 'Sesshoumaru is in danger!'

"Sesshoumaru!!!Watch out!!!!"shouted Kagome

But it was too late.Toukijin's ken-atsu hits the mirror and it got reflected back hitting Sesshoumaru.Sesshoumaru was surprised by this as the ken-atsu slashes through him.

His eyes were going red and the lines on his face was growing thicker..

He was thrown by the force and hits the wall behind him.

"Sesshoumaru!!!!"shouted Kagome running to his side

Naraku walks up to them.

"How is it Sesshoumaru?Getting hit by your own attacks?"asks Naraku

Kagome points her arrow towards him.

"Don't get any closer or I'll shoot!"said Kagome

"Mudada(It's no use),soon Sesshoumaru will be in my control and then after I have killed Inuyasha,I will use the shikon no kakera to become a full youkai.Just like you,Sesshoumaru-sama,"said Naraku and smirks

Sesshoumaru looks up at him with his red,blood eyes.It seems that his body can't move since he got the full blow of Toukijin.

"But for now....I won't be needing you,Sesshoumaru-sama.Kagura!"said Naraku

Kagura appears in a gust of wind.

"What is it,Naraku?"asks Kagura though with a bit of annoyed expression

"Lock them up and make sure they don't get away...."said Naraku and smirks.

Kagura sees Sesshoumaru(badly injured) and Kagome and makes a surprised expression.

"How..."

"Hurry it up,Kagura.."said Naraku again

Sesshoumaru and Kagome was locked up in a room surrounded by a strong kekkai.

Kagome shoots her arrow towards the kekkai but it didn't work.

"Hmmm...what should I do?My arrow can't even get through it.."said Kagome worriedly

Sesshoumaru tries to get up but everytime he moves sharp,piercing pain goes through his body.

"Ku..."he said

"Oh..Sesshoumaru!!!You can't move now,you're hurt badly!"said Kagome and makes him sits down

But he smacks her hand away.

"kya!"said Kagome and drops to the ground on her butt

"I don't need any help from a mere komusume like you,"said Sesshoumaru

"But...."Kagome said

"Damare(Shut-up)"

Kagome makes an angry expression.

"No!!I can't just leave you like that!Just stay still and I'll treat you the best I can!!!!"shouted Kagome

Sesshoumaru makes a surprised expression.

"Now...stay still!"said Kagome

She reached for her backpack and took out a first aid kit.

Then she treated Sesshoumaru with medicines."Oh,....this might stain a little,"said Kagome holding up a spray.She sprayed the cuts on his body and then wraps bandages around.

A few minutes later,Sesshoumaru was covered in bandages and he didn't like it.

"There!That should do it!"said Kagome

"Ningen...na wa nanto iu?(Human...what is your name?)"asks Sesshoumaru

"Kagome...Higurashi Kagome,"said Kagome

Sesshoumaru looks to his side.

"Where is..Inuyasha?"he asked

"Eh?Oh...he's..outside,fighting with the youkais.."said Kagome

"Hmph...,he is still fighting those katou youkais?How weak he is,"said Sesshoumaru

Kagome sighs.

"Why do you hate Inuyasha so much?Is it just because he is a hanyou?"asks Kagome

Sesshoumaru stays silent.

"It`s not that I hate him...just..."said Sesshoumaru slowly in a calm expression.

"Just what?"asks Kagome

Sesshoumaru turns to look at her.

"Why do you stay with Inuyasha?"he asks

"Eh?Etto.....,*Inuyasha no koto..suki...dakara(*-because I..love...Inuyasha),"said Kagome as her face turns red.

"...Souka..(Is that so),"said Sesshoumaru

Suddenly,they heard footsteps and Naraku comes out of the darkness.

"Kukuku..,now...it`s time..,Sesshoumaru,"said Naraku and smirks

Kagome blocks his view.

"Wha..What are you going to do to Sesshoumaru?"Kagome asks

Naraku steps into the kekkai and walks towards them.

"*Kisama ni wa kankei nai(*-it is none of your bussiness)"said Naraku and smacks Kagome away

"Kya!!"shouted Kagome and drops to the ground

Naraku holds up a shikon no kakera glowing red.

Kagome sees it and notices something.

`*Moshikashite,Kohaku-kun mitai ni Sesshoumaru wo ayatsuru ki!?(*-Is he going to control Sesshoumaru like what he did to Kohaku!?)`she thought

She slowly reaches for her bow and shot an arrow towards Naraku`s hand.

"Naraku!!!"she shouted

Naraku turns to look at Kagome as her arrow stabbed and blowed his arm up.

"*Nani!?(What!?)"said Naraku with a surprised expression

Sesshoumaru then makes his move.He pulls out Toukijin and cuts Naraku in half.

"Yatta!!!!(You did it!!!!)"shouted Kagome

Sesshoumaru looks down at the dissolving Naraku and said,"*Iya....madada,(*- No....Not yet)"

"Eh?"said Kagome and looks down at the body.

A wooden doll wrapped around with hair appears under his clothes.

"*Kugutsu ka(*-A Kugutsu),"said Sesshoumaru

Suddenly,the kekkai around them wiggles around and from the center appears a blue streak of light.The light drops down in front of them and stabs through the floor.

"*Kore wa....Kikyou no ya!(*- This is....Kikyou`s arrow!),"said Kagome

The kekkai instantly disappears.

Kikyou appears in front of them.

"Kikyou!!!"said Kagome with a surprised expression,`Why is she here?`

"Ano onna...(That woman),"said Sesshoumaru

"It looks like I`ve found you before Inuyasha did...."said Kikyou and turns her eyes toward Sesshoumaru

"Eh?Inuyasha?"said Kagome

"*Shiranu no ka?(*-You don`t know?),Inuyasha is looking for you all over this castle,"Kikyou said

"Inuyasha is?"said Kagome with a happy expression

"*Daga,Watashi ga shiritai no wa...Naze omae ga koko ni iru to iu koto da?(*- But,what I want to know is...Why are you here?),"Kikyou asks looking at Sesshoumaru

"*Sore wa kochira no serifu da(*-That is my line),"said Sesshoumaru who also is staring at Kikyou with his cold expression.

"Eh?Kikyou.....you know Sesshoumaru?"asks Kagome

"No,...but we had a little quarrel when we met..."said Kikyou and she turns to look at Kagome,"*Omae wa koyatsu no koto...shitte oru no ka(*-Do you know...about him)?"

"*U..Unn,Sesshoumaru wa...Inuyasha no Ani na no,shoshite Inuyasha to chigatte honmonono youkai nano(Y..Yes,Sesshoumaru is Inuyasha's older brother,and he is a full youkai unlike Inuyasha),"Kagome said

"Koyatsu ga Inuyasha no ani to mousunoka?(He is Inuyasha's older brother,you say?)"said Kikyou and narrows her eyes.

"*Souda....warui ka?(Yes....do you got a problem with that?)"said Sesshoumaru who narrows his eyes also.

Inuyasha was dashing through the hallway.

'Kagome!Where are you!?'thought Inuyasha,looking into each room

Miroku and Sango was also looking for her too.

Inuyasha suddenly notices something and stops.

"What's wrong,Inuyasha?"asks Miroku

"This smell.......Sesshoumaru!!!!!!"said Inuyasha

"What!?Sesshoumaru!!!"shouted the group

Inuyasha starts running.

'What does this mean!?Sesshoumaru in Naraku's castle!?What if....What if Kagome is in danger!!??Don't you dare die till I come,Kagome!!!!'

Inuyasha quickened his pace.

Kikyou and Sesshoumaru was staring each other for a long time.

Kagome broke the silence.

"Where's Naraku!?He has the shikon no kakeras!!!!"said Kagome

Suddenly,the wall behind exploded and Inuyasha bursts out from the smoke.

"Kagome~~~~!!!!"

"I..Inuyasha,"Kagome said with a surprised expression

Inuyasha sees Sesshoumaru turning to look at him.

"Sesshoumaru!What did you do to Kagome!!?"shouted Inuyasha raising Tetsusaiga

Kagome rushes in between them.

"W..Wait,Inuyasha!Se..Sesshoumaru didn't try to kill me....he..he.."

"They both were trapped inside a strong kekkai.."Kikyou finished her sentence

"Kikyou.."Inuyasha said

They both were staring at each other.

Miroku,Sango,and Shippou arrived on Kirara.

"Kagome-sama,you were alright...."said Miroku sighing in relief

Suddenly,the ceiling exploded into pieces and it headed towards the group.

They all dodged it in time.

"Wha.."Inuyasha shouted surprisedly

"Kukuku..."

"Naraku!!"Miroku shouted

Naraku appears from the hole on the ceiling and jumps into the room.

He was covering his face with his kimono but his face barely showed under it.

"Naraku!!!Give me back my shikon no kakeras!!"shouted Kagome hiding behind Inuyasha

"What!?"said Inuyasha

Naraku smirked to himself and takes out something from his kimono.

He held it out to show it to the group.

The Shikon no Tama layed on his hand except it wasn't really complete.There was one small space left to complete it(It seems that Kohaku has the last kakera(piece)).

" The Shikon no Tama is almost complete,...."said Naraku

"all I need is........(he glances at Sango and smirks)...Kohaku,"

Kohaku appears behind him.

"Kohaku......"Sango steps up

Kohaku walks in front of Naraku.

"Kukuku....just one more kakera then the Shikon no Tama will be complete.."said Naraku

He reaches his hand to Kohaku's back.

Sango makes a horrified expression."N..No!Stop it!!If you take that kakera out......Kohaku will...."

Naraku smirks again and insisted on taking Kohaku's kakera.

Sango reaches for her Hiraikotsu and charges at him.

"STOP IT!!!!!"shouted Sango

Naraku's hand stopped and he smirked again.

"Kohaku..."he said

Kohaku charges at Sango raising his weapon.Sango was surprised to see Kohaku charging at her.

"Sango-chan!!!"shouted Kagome

"Chi!!"Inuyasha charges towards them.

"Inuyasha,what do you think you're doing!!?"Miroku shouted

Inuyasha raises his Tetsusaiga.

"Shiniyagare!!(Die!!!!!)"shouted Inuyasha

"Inuyasha!What are you..."Sango shouted

"...Naraku!!!!!"shouted Inuyasha and swings Testusaiga towards him

The force of Tetsusaiga goes straight to Naraku.

"Fools...."

Kohaku appears in front of Naraku.

"!!"

"Kohaku!!!"Sango shouted

"Na...Naraku,!!You...."Inuyasha shouted

Suddenly,another force of ken-atsu hits Tetsusaiga's ken-atsu.

the two forces exploded before reaching to Kohaku.

"Wha.."Inuyasha was surprised

Kagome looks to her side and sees Sesshoumaru holding his Toukijin up.

"Se....sshoumaru?"
