Chapter 5: Hunting and memories
~*~*~*Flashback continues*~*~*~
She was kissing him!!
Inuyasha could hardly believe that Kagome would ever kiss him, even though he had
thought about it himself once or twice. Her lips were so soft and warm. For one brief
moment, it felt like there was no one else in the entire world, past or future. There was
only Kagome and himself. The burning pain in his body seemed to lessen as Inuyasha
savored the feeling of Kagome's lips. She pulled away, slowly, wishing to the fates that
Inuyasha would not be taken from her.
Even as the pain returned full-force on his body, Inuyasha could pay it no mind. He was
more hurt than he had ever been, but as Kagome leaned down to lay on his chest, he felt
like he was right where he was supposed to be.
~*~*~*End Flashback*~*~*~
Inuyasha sped across the forest floor, trying to get a whiff of a trail, some kind of lead to
follow. His hand clenched around the two shards from the defeated neko that Kagome
had not yet fused into the growing chunk of the Shikon jewel. He would give them to this
Midori to free Kagome; he could always kill her and get them back, right? 'I'll do
whatever it takes to get my Kagome back- GAH! I said it again!! She's just a stupid girl!
Why is my mind playing these games with me?!' Inuyasha stopped and sniffed for a trail.
'Feh, so what? She's not all that bad, I guess… She smells kinda nice… and she's always
worried for me… and… She kissed me…'
~*~*~*~*~
Two figures stood in the midst of a silent crowd. A man clad in a snow-white baboon pelt
sat on a pedestal, surrounded by servants. Kagome lay in a heap at his feet.
"Where's the hanyou's head?"
"I am sorry, m'lord, he was cured. Instead I brought the woman he travels with as ransom
for the shards."
"Hmm. Very well." The baboon reached into a fold of fur and pulled out a small
fragment of the Shikon no Tama, as it flickered an angry red. "Take this; the hanyou will
come for a fight."
"Many thanks, m'lord."
"I suggest you weaken the girl. She has strong, spontaneous powers. Kill her, if need be,
but not until the shards have been secured."
"I will please my lord."
The baboon turned to the crowds. "Let it be known that the slayer of your leader comes.
I, the great Naraku will destroy him and all who side with his evil ways!" With that,
Naraku kicked Kagome hard in the side. A great cheer erupted from the crowd.
~*~ Later~*~
Midori sealed the injured girl in the gelatinous bubble, filled with a clear ooze.
Kagome felt her body jolt as the ooze squished around her as it rose up to her neck and
began to harden. "Wh-what's going on? Let me out of here!" She struggled as she felt her
body drain of energy.
"That soup will slowly drain you of your life unless your heartless friend can save you.
And I wouldn't hold out much hope; you'll probably die before he can find this place,"
Midori stated emotionlessly with her back turned to Kagome.
"Why are you doing this? Why have you sided with Naraku?!" Kagome yelled.
"Why would you care?! Naraku saw what you and that animal did to my sister!" Midori
whirled around as a silent tear fell from her eye. Kagome thought back to the fight with
the blue neko a few days ago. She remembered how the demon had attacked them first.
"You can't listen to Naraku! He's a liar and he's evil! He'll just kill you and your people
once he gets what he wants!" Kagome tried to plead to Midori.
"Enough of your lies! The great Naraku promised to protect us now that our leader is
gone. He will kill that filthy hanyou!!!" Midori screamed.
