~I do not own Inuyasha in any way shape or form. If I did, I wouldn't be writing fanfic~ :P

Chapter 2

"Huh? Where am I?" Kagome asked herself as she looked through her heavy eyelids. She remembered going out last

night, taking a walk, and coming back to the hut, but this was in no way shape or form where she fell asleep. She was in a

small clearing of some unknown forest. "Hello?" She asked trying to see if anyone was nearby. "You should have stayed in your own time." An icy voice told her. "What.? Who are you?" Kagome asked out in a frightened voice. She turned around and appearing out of nowhere she saw the all too familiar outline of Kikyo hiding in the trees. Kikyo crawled off the limb she was sitting on and walked up to Kagome. Kagome, too afraid to move, stood there, staring into Kikyo's lifeless, chilling eyes. She tried to look away, but was kept looking by a forceful unseen power. Kagome slowly felt mind being invaded and probed by Kikyo. Kikyo just stood there, looking into her mind, and trying to find a way to make her plan successful. "Ah, I have just the right plan."

"KAGOME!!" Cried out her friends. They had been searching for almost a half hour now, and had no luck. They had only succeeded in going deeper into the forest, where even Inuyasha was having a hard time picking up on Kagome's scent. "We should split up so we can find her faster." Sango suggested, so Sango, Miroku, and Shippou headed off tword the eastern direction and Inuyasha to the west. After about 10 minutes, Inuyasha was finally starting to sense Kagome. He wandered into the clearing, and not to his surprise, found Kagome in the middle of it. The only odd thing was, she didn't seem her normal self, any other time she would be running up to hug him, but now she just stood there with her bow.He flashed back for a moment to 50 years ago when he was sealed by Kikyo's arrow, but only for a moment. That part of his life was something he had to let go of now. "Kagome, come on, don't just stand there, the others are looking for you too, we have to go now." Inuyasha told her. But for some reason, Kagome wasn't responding. She just stood there, as if frozen in time, staring at him. "You won't get any answer out of her, I hope you know." an oily voice called from behind him. Before Inuyasha even turned around he knew it could only belong to Naraku. "Naraku, whatever you've done to her, you will pay!" Inuyasha yelled out in passion. NOBODY could lay a hand on his Kagome and hurt her. "Now, now, temper, temper, Inuyasha. You should know all that screaming won't get anything accomplished." A smooth voice called out in an ever present calmness that could only belong to Kikyo. Inuyasha grabbed his Tetsiaga and started to run full speed ahead to Kikyo and Naraku, where he was suddenly stopped by a strong wave of energy. "Shit," he thought to himself, fighting would do no good here. "You haven't changed a bit I see," said Naraku, "Always rushing into battle with your brute force, and never actually thinking, fitting for a dirty hanyou like yourself." "I would rather be a hanyou, than what you two have let yourselves become." Icily replied Inuyasha. "What do you want with Kagome, if you want to settle something, do it with me, but don't touch her." "Inuyasha, I have my own reasons for doing this." Kikyo replied. "You promised me you would protect me, and love me, but you turned on me, so now I will make you and the girl pay for what you have done." Inuyasha turned away from Kikyo's cold betraying eyes as he listened to her still. "She's under our control right now you know.she can do anything we want her to. It's been said that she's my reincarnation, but with a weak mind like hers, she doesn't even live up to half the legend I was." Kikyo continued. With a snap of her fingers, Kagome's eyes slowly opened up from her trace. She moved her head straight up and looked at Inuyasha without her usual sparkle in her eyes. She grabbed a bow from her bag, and set it to shoot at Inuyasha. "See, isn't it funny that the girl you thought loved you, is doing this to you once again Inuyasha?" Naraku said with a slight laugh. "Seems like you know just how to pick them." Inuyasha looked at Kagome's featureless face. If he was going to die, he thought, he would rather die by the hand of someone he loved, than anyone else. "No, what am I doing, I can't do this, that's Inuyasha out there!" Kagome heard in her mind. She tried to call out to him, but there was too much dark power holding her back from doing anything under her own control. She had pulled out an arrow from her bag and was setting it up to get ready to shoot. She looked up into Inuyasha's eyes, and pulled back the arrow. To be continued
