"Death Squared"

Some Inuyasha fic, he was only in the first chapter. He he he. It gets better, I promise. Oh yeah, I decided to make this a Sango/Miroku get together, for all of you fans. Lovies ^o^!

Disclaimer: Wish I owned 'em, then I could do disturbing things with Sango's boomerang. *grins*

Chapter 4: Loss

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked himself. He hadn't heard her, but somehow he sensed that she was in some kind of trouble. "Well, so much for finding Kikyo, now I have to go save Kagome."

Inuyasha ignored his instincts that were telling him to go find Kikyo and concentrated fully on detecting Kagome's scent. 'Where is she? All I smell is Kikyo.' Inuyasha thought angrily to himself. A sudden fear struck him, he didn't want to believe it, but he knew that it was the only possibility at this point. 'Could it be? Kikyo kidnapped Kagome?'

A new determination caused Inuyasha to run faster than he had ever before. His Kagome was in trouble.

"Sango, over here!" Miroku shouted from a nearby ledge.

"What is it?" Sango asked peering over the edge. Miroku looked up at Sango with a sickened expression.

"There are dead bodies down there." Miroku choked out.

"Well, we have to go see if there are any survivors, let's go." Sango said jumping onto Kirara's back.

"Are you sure about that?" Miroku said peering over the ledge again.

"Of course I'm sure. Get on." Sango gestured to Kirara's back and Miroku swung his leg over her back.

Kirara gracefully bounded down to the creek (is there such thing as bounding gracefully?) where the dead bodies littered the ground. Blood stained the scenery and limbs were scattered everywhere.

"It's disgusting!" Miroku said covering his face with his hand. Sango put her mask over her nose and mouth and got down from Kirara. Miroku, regaining his posture, did the same.

"Look at their eyes, all of their eyes are open." Sango pointed out. She looked more closely at one and shrieked.

"What is it, Sango?" Miroku asked hurrying over to her.

"The eyes, look at the eyes." Sango said in a quiet voice.

"What the… Their souls are gone." Miroku said more to himself than to Sango.

"You don't think…?" Sango asked, not having to finish.

"Yes, this is definitely the work of Kikyo." Miroku stated quietly.

Kagome opened her eyes to find that they were blurred. She reached up to rub them, but she found that her hands had been tied with ropes and she was being carried on the back of a horse. Kagome became more fearful when she recalled her kidnapping. She looked up as best she could and saw Kikyo's back was facing her. Kikyo and the horse came to an abrupt halt and Kikyo slowly turned around.

"So you're conscious. I was worried that I had killed you." Kikyo said a small grin replacing her serious look.

"What, are you admitting that you were worried for me?" Kagome asked coldly.

"Silly girl, I merely meant that if you were killed, my plans for Inuyasha would have been spoiled." Kikyo said turning around and taking up walking and leading the horse again.

"Can you at least untie me?" Kagome pleaded. Kikyo turned around with an angry look on her face.

"And let you call Inuyasha? Hardly." Kikyo turned around and ignored Kagome's whining.

'What does Kikyo think she's doing? Doesn't she realize that she'll never get away with this? If she tries anything, Inuyasha will…' Kagome thought and then realized that her kidnapper was Inuyasha's lover, and vengeance would never be served if Kikyo did anything to her.

Kagome let out a gasp as she saw that she and Kikyo were nearing Naraku's castle.

"That's right, Naraku has informed me that you and him are going to have quite a nice time together." Kikyo said evilly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inuyasha was beginning to panic. He couldn't smell Kagome's scent anywhere. Kagome's scent was unlike any other in his era. Whenever she bathed, she used scented soaps and shampoos. Her scent was always easily detected, but Inuyasha could only concentrate on Kikyo. Finally he got a whiff of her and shot off in the direction that he had smelled her.

'I swear, if anyone hurts Kagome…' Inuyasha thought angrily, and then realized that Kikyo had been the one to kidnap her. What was he going to do if Kikyo hurt Kagome? Inuyasha didn't know and decided to concentrate on Kagome's scent rather than what was going to happen if she was hurt. The thought of either her of Kikyo being hurt was too depressing to think about at a time like this.

"Do you think we should bury them?" Sango asked from inside the tent that Miroku had constructed. (Away from the dead bodies)

"No, I don't think we should linger here. Besides, it the little kitsune sees those bodies, I think he would be even more upset, and we don't need that." Miroku said taking up a bowl of ramen.

"We will leave in the morning, then." Sango said making up her mind.

"That would probably be best." Miroku said glancing at Sango.

"What is it, Miroku?" Sango asked.

"It's nothing. I mean, Sango…?" Miroku trailed off.

"Yes?" Sango asked curiously.

"Well, it's just that. Ok, don't find this being too forward or anything, but, I think it would be wise if you and I shared the same bed tonight." Miroku finished with a red tint in his cheeks.

"Is that so? Well, you pervert, you can forget about it!" Sango said angrily and reached up to smack Miroku, but he caught her hand.

"Sango, please." Miroku pleaded. Sango was taken by surprise by the look in his eyes. He wasn't being his usual perverted self, he was being sincere.

"You really think that would be necessary?" Sango stammered.

"Maybe, but I think you and I should be close tonight, in case of danger." Miroku said sipping at his tea.

"Well, I'm not sure about the same bed, but we can sleep next to each other." Sango said taking up her own ramen.

"Really?" Miroku asked in disbelief.

"Yes. Of course Shippou will be sleeping in between us." Sango said solemnly. Miroku just nodded. He should've known better than to think that Sango would've complied with his wish to sleep with her.

"Right, where is the little demon?" Miroku asked curiously.

"The poor guy, he's off crying again." Sango said with sad eyes.

"I've brought her, Naraku." Kikyo said dumping Kagome onto the floor.

"Very good, Kikyo. You are truly strong." Naraku cooed.

"I am not strong, she is just weak." Kikyo said turning away and walking towards the exit.

"I'm not weak!" Kagome yelled from the floor. Kikyo did not turn around to acknowledge her, all she did was raise a hand to tell Kagome that she didn't care.

When Kikyo was no longer in earshot, Naraku ordered the guards at the door to leave him and Kagome in peace.

"What do you want with me, Naraku?" Kagome demanded from the floor. Her hands were still bound and her whole body was aching. Naraku began to laugh as though it should've been obvious what he wanted from her.

"Foolish girl, Inuyasha is my only threat, and you are going to bring him to me." Naraku said when he was finished with his laughing.

"I'm not the fool, you really think Inuyasha would be dumb enough to just barge in here with intentions to save me?" Kagome said now getting to her feet. 'He better come save me' Kagome thought angrily to herself.

"I do, in fact I have reason to believe that he is on his way right this moment." Naraku said making his way over to Kagome. "But until then, we should make you a little more presentable, don't you think?"

Naraku grabbed Kagome's shoulders and threw her against a wall. She slid to the floor only to be picked up again and pinned to the wall. Her body, being weak from her struggle with Kikyo, was now limp and she hung there as though she was a mere rag doll.

"Lemme go, Naraku." Kagome demanded. She had to muster all the strength she had within her to say these few futile words. Naraku brought her face to meet his by his hand forcing her chin upwards.

"Not until we have some fun." Naraku breathed down her neck. An icy chill consumed Kagome as he fondled one of her breasts through her shirt.

"Get off of me, you freak." Kagome pleaded. "Please, let me go, Naraku, please."

"Are we getting desperate? Good." Naraku chuckled softly. He proceeded to rip Kagome's shirt into shreds. Kagome knew that she would never be able to get away from Naraku without Inuyasha's help and used the rest of her strength to call out one word.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs and then unconsciousness consumed her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome's voice rang out in Inuyasha's sensitive ears. He now knew exactly where she was, and from the sounds of it, she was in desperate trouble.

*fin

I've changed this story to an R rated one for certain reasons, I think you can tell why. *evil grin* Anywho, tell me what you think, and oh yeah, I have all intentions of making this even more graphic. Go me! Lovies ^o^!
