Naraku.
Inuyasha snarled when he started figuring it out.
It had to be him again, it had to be that bastard that killed Kikyo 50 years ago...
Inuyasha's hand fisted and he trembled from anger.
Now Naraku had Kagome!
He lowered his head so his bangs would cover his eyes and asked Miroku in a quiet voice,
"Which way did he go, after he took Kagome?"
Miroku was confused, Sesshomaru was right here! Why would Inuyasha want to know which way he went.
"Uh, Inuyasha? Sesshomaru is right here." Miroku said, his voice uneasy.
"You don't think I know that?! I don't care about my brother, which way did that bastard go after he took Kagome?!"
Inuyasha shouted at Miroku, fisting his hand even harder to stop from attacking him in frustration.
"I don't understand, Inuyasha."
Miroku simply stated, and waited for Inuyasha to explain. Even though he knew Inuyasha would try to stay silent until he surrendered and gave him the information, Miroku knew he was more patient than Inuyasha and had made up his mind to not tell the hanyou anything until he had explained.
"Fine. I'll tell you. That "Sesshomaru" that took Kagome was a fake. It was Naraku in disguise...again."
Miroku and Sango gasped when they heard this, but slowly came to realize that Inuyasha told the truth.
Sango felt even more guilty and got more angry at herself. The signs had all been there. Why hadn't she seen through the disguise?
Miroku was also angry that he hadn't seen through the disguise. He was also angry at having passed up another chance to kill Naraku and avenge his family that had all been taken by the curse.
While the two battled with their feelings, Inuyasha impatiently waited for Miroku to tell him where Naraku had went. But soon he realized the monk was too busy with his own thoughts to think of Inuyasha, so he shouted over to him,
"Oi! Monk! Mind telling me where that bastard took Kagome?"
Miroku was startled out of his thoughts and he remembered Inuyasha.
"Right, they went over the trees that way." Miroku pointed out the direction which he had seen the so-called Sesshomaru heading.
"Okay, I'm going by myself now. You guys stay here!" Inuyasha called over his shoulder as he prepared to jump off, but Shippo leapt off Miroku's shoulder and ran over to Inuyasha, clinging to Inuyasha's leg.
"Whah! I'm coming to rescue Kagome too! And you're gonna take me Inuyasha, or else I'll tell her that you've been mean to me!" Shippo cried as he held on to Inuyasha's leg while Inuyasha tried to pry him off. When Inuyasha finally got him to let go, Shippo expected to be tossed through the air, but to his surprise, Inuyasha sat the little kitsune on his shoulder.
"Fine, you can come too, Shippo." Inuyasha said, as he prepared to jump again,
"I-I can?" Shippo asked, surprised that Inuyasha was being nice to him for once.
"Yeah, I guess. Kagome'll be glad to see you."
"Yay!" Shippo cried as he held onto one of Inuyasha's tresses of hair that hung over his shoulder.
"Hey! Watch out! Don't pull on that, it hurts, ya know!"
They heard Inuyasha complain as he leapt through the air with Shippo on his shoulder.
"Wait, Inuyasha! Be careful, Naraku is still a powerful adversary!" Miroku called to the hanyou who was quickly leaping over the treetops.
"Yeah yeah, I'm gonna be fine, hentai. Oh, before I forget, Sesshomaru is gonna need your help, I'm doing him a favor!"
"Now wait, Inuyasha! We never agreed to this!" Sango shouted angrily after the quickly fading figure of the hanyou.
The last they heard from Inuyasha before he got too far away was one of his rare snickers that came with his confident, mocking smirks.
After Inuyasha and Shippo were completely out of sight, Miroku and Sango turned to Sesshomaru, Jaken, and Rin. They also turned to look at the other group.
Neither group spoke.
~*~
As Inuyasha ran after Naraku with Shippo clinging to his shoulder, he began to think about the upcoming fight. He knew this would result in yet another fight with Naraku, but he was confused. Why did Naraku want Kagome to begin with? What use could Naraku possibly have for Kagome?
After all, Inuyasha had the few Shikon shards they had obtained.
Why did he want Kagome?
~*~
Far ahead of them, the fake Sesshomaru, aka Naraku, had already fully changed back to his own form. Now, he walked along the ground, still carrying Kagome.
Suddenly, her eyes fluttered open and she looked around, a bit confused, before realizing she was being carried.
Looking up at her carrier, she realized with it was Naraku.
Feeling her start to move around, Naraku looked down at the now-awake girl in his arms.
He bent his head and whispered something in her ear.
When he pulled away again, the girl nodded.
Naraku began to chuckle and an evil smile appeared on his lips.
The girl was shocked that Naraku was actually smiling, even if it was an evil smile. But soon she got over her little shock.
She began to smirk also.
