(Naraku moment) Why isn't he here yet? Naraku's calmness was starting to turn into anger. I saw him kiss that human, so why isn't he here to save her? He quickly turned from his seat near the window, and walked swiftly, yet silently too Kagome's room which was glowing from the Barrier. He searched her room frantically as if to find it empty.

To his relief Kagome still sat on the old tattered bed that was in there, and was in the same position from where he saw her last. Naraku seemed to be content with his view of Kagome's room, so he decided to stay there; where he can be reassured that Inuyasha won't ruin his plan.

(Inuasyaha moment) Inuyasha followed Naraku's scent ahead of the group every so often to check for safety, and then would motion every one to come. Right when Inuyasha came upon Naraku's castle surrounded by large walls, he decided to figure out a way into the castle without following the scent.

He quickly turned to Miroku who was the first to show, "Ok, now we have to get into the castle, but not the way Naraku wants." Inuyasha explained, but even as he talked his heart lurched. Suddenly, he heard Kagome. crying?!?! He also noticed it wasn't a cry of pain, which was a great relief but his heart mourned for her.

"How exactly do we do this, I'm sure any way into the castle would be what he wants, as long as he traps you." Miroku made a good point, but Inuyasha wasn't listening completely, for he still tried to hear Kagome.

"Inuyasha, you have to enter this phantom castle alone," Sango appeared carrying Shippo and Kirara. "That's the only way to convince Naraku that his plan has worked." (Kagome moment) As Kagome sat in her wet puddle of tears, she suddenly felt jewel shards close by her. But these shards were cursed and were dark and far from purification, Naraku was close. She quickly looked up and met eyes with him, the evilest most despicable person she ever knew. And now she was looking into his empty lonesome self.

Why is he watching me? She thought, I hate that feeling that reeks all over him, the feeling of unhappiness and hatred. But then she somehow sensed Inuyasha, he was close by, he really came to save her. The only problem was as fast as the good feeling came a bad one replaced it, what if Naraku's plan includes this.

(Inuyasha moment) After listening to what Sango purposed he slowly, yet cautiously approached toward the entrance of the castle. A soon as he entered his hears pricked up, listening intensely, along with his nose which was smelling every inch of the castle. The scent he could pick up though, was Kagome's, not Naraku.

Since Kagome was the only scent he could follow, follow he did. When suddenly her scent was overwhelming, he was close, in any minute he would be able to see her. Hopefully safe. As he turned the last corner, he came upon a bright barrier which surrounded a room. the one Kagome was in. He immediately pulled out his Tessiaiga (sword) and was about to attempt to break through it when, Kagome pointed over to the other side. Cautious of what he might find, he slowly looked across the room and outside the barrier, it was Naraku. Completely unaware that Inuyasha was holding his Tessiaiga, he sat there watching her. This is it. this is where he expected me to save Kagome from.

With that figured out, Inuyasha quietly sneaked around the corner, and began trying to find where Naraku is. Which after a while proved much harder then he thought, but his love for Kagome was what kept him moving. "Aaaaahhhhhh!!!!!" Inuyasha stopped dead in his tracks, that was Kagome, his lovely Kagome crying out in pain. "Inuyasha!!!!! Aaaahhhh!!!!! Help!!!!!" That was it, now he was mad!!! The bastard was hurting her, and there was no way Inuyasha was going to tolerate that. He took off at a run toward the room Kagome was in, but stopped at the entrance to signal the others.

(Naraku moment) Naraku stood out of the room grinning, with almost a laugh as he watched Kagome suffer from his poisin gas. That shoudt be enough to drive him here.hmmhmhmm. He said than laughed to himself.

(Kagome moment) She cried out in pain as more poisin gas hit her much more powerful then the last.

"You'll pay for this Nar-aku" she yelled threw the barrier, but Naraku just laughed cold and bitterly.

"Yes, and who is going to? Your Inuyasha?" he laughed again, making her shutter, "I hate to tell you but he and you aren't going to survive this battle. And Inuyasha is the first to go."

"Damn you!!!!!" she yelled surprised at her words, but was glad she said them, she's wanted to say that to him for the longest time.

After that a loud shattering breaking sounded and Inuyasha stood gripping his sword tightly. "Prepare to die bastard!!!"

"Impossible" Naraku whispered, "How did you pass the barrier?" Inuyasha smiled up toward him,

"Seems your no match for my tessiaiga!!" Now Naraku's shocked face turned to a small laugh,

"I wouldn't get your hopes up half breed."

"Shut up!!! Your a half breed too!!!" "I wasn't born as one, which makes you reek of filth."

"You know I don't have time for small talk. so Die!!!!" Inuyasha came in waving his sword vigoursly. But as soon as he was near him Naraku threw him down, one handed. Inuyasha landed right next to Kagome, who immediately went to see if he was ok. But he was too worried about her to notice, "Hey, you ok?" he asked lightly wiping her cheek.

"Oh. how sweet, but Inuyasha is this how you repay Kikyo? By going with her reincarnation?"

"Shut up!!! You stupid Bastard, I'm not finished with you yet!!!"

"Oh I believe you are.." Naraku grinned madly.
