Show: Inuyasha
Summary: Look in other chapters
Disclaimer: HI! Not mine!
Miroku followed Kagome home. He hadn't intended to, but every time he tried to talk to her, his courage failed. When she had left school, she had been jumpy and nervous. He had wanted to ask her why this 'Naraku' knew her, but after lunch she refused to talk to anyone. Inuyasha had tried to talk to her but was stopped by both Naraku and Sesshomaru's glares. Come to think of it, Sesshomaru had been acting odd after lunch too. In fact, after he had come into his afternoon classes, he looked confused and puzzled. Sesshomaru had tried to talk to Kagome, but always seemed stopped by something…something only he knew.
Kagome crossed the street and walked into her apartment building. Ignoring the happy carefree children roaming the halls, she walked into her apartment. No noticing the strange silence or the darkness, she flopped down on her couch. Why? Did God hat her so much he made sure she suffered? Closing her eyes she never felt the person walk into room, until he spoke.
"Hello, Kagome."
Kagome spun to face the shadow, but he moved to fast. Before she knew it a damp cloth covered her nose and mouth. Struggling not to breath, Kagome tried to escape. But the man's iron grip didn't give way and soon she was forced to breath. As she slowly fell into the darkness, she could hear him chuckle evilly.
"You are mine."
Aisu Tora ran back up the street. Something in her heart told her a horrible thing happened. Racing past the startled pedestrians, She slid to a stop in front of the building and ran up the front stairs. Hurrying down the hall, she ignored the strangely quiet children and walked into Kagome's apartment. The horrible feeling of doom wouldn't go away as she opened the apartment door. The room was in a mess. Standing in the doorway she could see that every belonging was thrown to the ground and searched through. Looking around for a moment, Aisu noticed something. There in the corner was a small black backpack…Kagome's backpack to be exact. Aisu had seen her take it with her on her way to school.
"Oh no…Kagome."
"What? This was Kagome's room?" Miroku gasped in a soft voice when he heard the girl speak. He had decided to follow he into the building when Kagome didn't come down after a while. The girl he had followed in raced up to third floor and stopped in front of a door. When she opened it, Miroku could see the destruction. He had been about to try to comfort her, but then she said Kagome's name. Whirling around (AN: Like a dishwasher…oops…hyper) the girl stared at him.
"Who are you?" She hissed in a suspicious voice. "How do you know Kagome?" This boy…could he have caused this? He didn't look like it, but then again Sesshomaru didn't look like he could lift an adult off the ground. She didn't notice a small boy walk up to her. Trying to get her attention, he tugged on her pant leg.
"Hello? Kagome's friend?" He asked in a timid voice. This girl could be the friend of Kagome's, but then again she could have been the other bad man. He, himself, had seen the tall man walk out of the apartment carrying an odd bundle. It had been wrapped in an odd flowery blanket and only when a pale hand fell out did he know what it was. That bad man had taken Kagome, his friend. "Are you here to save her from that bad man?" He asked Miroku.
The two older people stopped arguing and stared at him.
"What…what did you say?" Miroku asked in a soft voice. Who would have taken Kagome? And Why? The girl by his side stiffened and paled. What did she know about this?
Aisu turned around and started back out the door. Ignoring the older boy's gasp of surprise she kept on walking away. Sesshomaru would pay. He could be the only one that had taken her…all because of this 'miko' thing. She didn't even know what that was! Kagome was going to explain about that when she had gotten back from school, but…could this possibly be related to that 'Naraku' Kagome was talking about? She had said that Naraku had found her. Could he be another Sesshomaru? She almost made it out the front door when Miroku stopped her.
"Will you wait?" He yelled grabbing the girl's arm. As soon as she heard what that little boy had said, she had ran out of there. What did she know? "What is going on? First I come to ask her about what happened at school, but her apartment is in ruins. Then that boy says a bad man got her? Why could someone want to hurt Kagome?"
Aisu stared at him for a moment. He really didn't know, she thought bitterly. No one knew anything about Kagome. In fact, she didn't even know the girl's last name. "I don't know. I just think that it has to deal with a 'miko', something or another. The bad man could be you for all I know."
Miroku scoffed at the last. " I am not evil. I am Kagome's friend, Miroku Housi. You on the other hand could be the man's helper for all I know!" Even when he said this something in his mind remembered the word 'miko'. The word meant priestess…but that couldn't be right…could it?
"I am not a friend or enemy of Kagome. But I work for no one. I only met her because she fouled up my meeting with Sesshomaru!"
"Sesshomaru? You know Sesshomaru?"
Sesshomaru growled and threw down the papers he was suppose to be working on. What was wrong with him? He knew the truth why dwell on it? The girl would never belong to him…he now knew. Besides loving a human would have brought shame on the family name…loving. Since when have I gotten so soft that I can admit to the thing? He hadn't even really talked to her! She could be the dumb half-wit he thought she was in the beginning. No. Her eyes held to much knowledge for her to be stupid. Growling, he stalked to the window. Why couldn't he get her out of his mind? She was a woman nothing important. She couldn't belong to him, anyways. No matter how he wished, she belongs to another…Naraku. The other demon had the nerve of acting like it was a simple fact that was just forgotten. How could he have not known? It completes the puzzle…her odd behavior around Naraku…the strange aura of power greater than the normal human. After all wouldn't the fiancé of Naraku be different than normal humans. Why Naraku would have a human bride was a mystery, an oddity. It wasn't unheard of for a demon to marry a human…but it was rare. Besides the marrage had been arranged by her parents. That was the reason she must have run.
He had just about given up on his work when the doorbell rang. Walking into the main hall he watched the oblivious humans argue. The doorman must have let them in…But he only did that to people he knew. Then Sesshomaru noticed the male human was a 'friend' of his half brother. Why did Inuyasha associate with humans?
"Why are we here?" Aisu whispered in a tense voice. They had finally realized that to find Kagome they would need help. So the resourceful man he was, Miroku automatically brought them to his best friend's house. By the time they had gotten over there, the two were arguing like hateful enemies and knew each other by their names…and other not so nice names.
"Miroku?" Inuyasha asked as he walked down the stairs. His friend hadn't been here since Sesshomaru invited his business 'associates' over. Noticing the girl standing by Miroku, his curiosity rose. At first he thought she was Miroku's new girlfriend, but that didn't fit his personality now. Besides the girl was looking at Miroku in utter hate. "What is wrong?"
"Kagome. She is missing." Miroku said in a scared voice. Sesshomaru leaned back against the wall. Of course, she must have accepted her fate as Naraku's wife. So she was off with her fiancé. She had just gone to school for the amusement, not caring about anything else. But then again he hadn't even got to know her. As he was starting to turn away, Aisu spoke up. She hadn't even told Miroku this yet.
"This morning, Kagome had gotten a call from this man. He could be the only one who would do this. She had told me that Naraku had found her."
Sesshomaru froze. Wait. If Kagome decided to go with Naraku…then wouldn't she be happy for him to find her? Quickly leaving the three in peace, he walked back into his study. Could…Naraku have lied? As he sat there thinking, his phone rung. With a odd finality, Sesshomaru lifted the receiver from the cradle and put it up to his ear to listen.
"The best man has won."
