For the record, I do not own Inuyasha nor the characters. So don't sue me, I have no money.

Rin and Jakken both dragged Sesshomaru by his long sleeves into the forest to what was said to be Naraku's castle. Sesshomaru wasn't seen for a few hours and the two went to check on him. They found his bed was messed up, but he wasn't around. They found him sulking in one of the cells. All he could say was "My bed, my brother, his woman" and they put two and two together to figure out the rest. Rin immediately wanted to take action and find Inuyasha and Kagome and kill them both. But Jakken refused. He said that they needed "professional" help to deal with this. So, Rin finally suggested they go there.
"Sesshomaru-sama! Snap out of it already!" Rin pouted. Sesshomaru only looked straight ahead with a distant look in his eyes.
"Rin, we have to drag him. Just don't reason with him and drag his ass--" Jakken froze as Sesshomaru looked down at him.
"AH! Sesshomaru-sama, I was only... uh... please don't kill me!" Jakken begged. Sesshomaru only looked back infront of him and began to walk slowly on his own. He tore his arms from Rin and Jakken and stopped as he turned to look at the two.
"What happened? Where are we going?" He asked as he looked at the surroundings. In the distance, he could see a castle. Night had fallen, and in an hour or so, morning would follow.
"We're going there." Rin said in a cheerful voice. "That castle belongs to Naraku. We can ask him to send some of his puppets out and kill your brother and his woman."
"After what I saw, Rin... I want them to suffer." Then he walked ahead of the two to make his way to Naraku's castle.
~~~
The chains around Souta's arms and legs were beginning to cut into his flesh even deeper from him struggling. His face was covered with dirt and tears. At this point, he had given up all hope. **Where's Nee-chan? Wasn't she supposed to come already..? I mean, there is one more day left... Nee-chan, why did you desert me..?** The tears began to rise in his eyes again and he closed them tightly.
Naraku noticed that the child was crying and walked over to him. He grabbed the tape that was around his mouth and ripped it off. Souta let out a scream and the fresh tears poured over his sore lips and cheeks, easing the burn.
"Stop crying. I'm sure your sister is coming. After all... she has what I want, and I have what she wants. A fair trade is in order. But what she doesn't know is that I'm planning on killing that half-witted demon boyfriend of hers."
"Why?" Souta asked.
"Because..." **What? Why am I telling this to a child?** "It's none of your business." He said as he turned and walked away.
Souta looked down at the ground. Naraku said she was coming, but could he actually trust someone who kidnapped him? And what if he planned to kill Kagome once she and her "boyfriend" came? **What can I do?** He asked himself and the curled up the best way he could and began to cry more.
~~~
Inuyasha and Kagome were practically running through the forest. Of course, Inuyasha could run perfectly, but Kagome was limping some.
"What's your problem? Did you forget how to run?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, but you were the one who went crazy a few hours ago! Ow! It hurts, okay?!" She stopped and whinned.
Inuyasha sighed and he scooped her up into his arms to carry her. She pushed him away and jumped back down to sit on a rock. She burried her face in her hands as she sighed deeply. Inuyasha sighed as well as he sat infront of her. He opened his mouth to speak, but his dog-like ears started to twitch.
"Hm?" He said as he turned his face in the direction.
"What is it?"
"I hear footsteps.. running in this direction." He said as he stood up.
"If it's your brother... we're dead."
"No, if it was Great King Fluffy, he would've been here by now." He rolled his eyes as he said that. This caused Kagome to smile some.
"Goddamnit you stupid monk!"
"OW! Why'd you hit me?!"
"Stop grabbing me!"
"Miroku, why do you keep grabbing Sango there...?"
"Because I--" A loud slap was heard.
"Don't you even dare say that infront of him!"
Sango glared at him as she looked to see Inuyasha and Kagome staring at them.
"Uhm... Sango-chan, why're you here?"
"We came to look for you. Thought you could use our help..." Sango stopped as she studied her cousin more and noticed slight bite marks on her neck, her hair slightly messed up, and of course, a hickey on the other side of my neck.
"Damn, he gets more action than I do..." Miroku began.
"Shut up! Kagome-chan, please tell me... you and Inu... okay, I need to sit down." Sango said as she sat down onto the ground.
"Why is everyone having that... that reaction about us?!" Inuyasha finally fired up.
"Oswari." Kagome said as she closed her eyes.
"AH!" Inuyasha screamed as he fell face-first into the ground.
"Just keep your anger under..." Kagome trailed off as she went silent and looked towards the west. Everyone looked over to the girl. Then turned their eyes to the west to see what she was staring at.
"What's she looking at?" Shippou asked.
"I... felt something. Sango-chan, what day is tomorrow?"
"Thursday. Why?"
"Holy shi--.. Oh my God!" Kagome cried out and burried her face into her hands. Inuyasha sat back down by her with an arm around her neck.
"What, what's wrong?"
"It's soon to be sunrise! Naraku, Souta--Hello!? Argh, and I don't know where his damn castle is!" Kagome screamed.
"But I do." A soft voice was heard.
Inuyasha's eyes widened. "Ki-Kikyou--OOF!" He was stopped by Kagome elbowing him in the stomach.
"And you'd help us why?!"
"Because Inuyasha truly belongs with me. And I know that if I help you, he will come back to me."
"You stupid dead bitch..." Kagome said as she stood up.
"Hey, calm down!" Inuyasha got between them and looked at Kagome. "I love you, okay?" He looked to Kikyou. "I love Kagome. Okay? But, just tell us where Naraku's castle is. Kikyou, a little boy's life is at stake. Please, not even you can be that heartless."
Kikyou flinched some. Obviously hurt. "All right... I'll show you." She began to turn, walking westward with the others following behind her.
~~~
Naraku went out of his state of meditation and smiled. The spell he put over Kikyou was working perfectly. His plan was falling exactly into place. It'd be only a matter of time before he'd have all of them dead--but, he wanted to make Inuyasha's the slowest death of all--giving him the worst torture he could ever think of. He laughed to himself as the thought of Inuyasha begging to die went through his mind. He turned his gaze to the small boy who had eventually cried himself to sleep.
**Once I get the jewel, I'll have no use for him... I guess I'll kill him with the others--but only after I get the jewel. Hehe. Kikyou, you better not fail me.**
~~~
Kikyou turned her eyes some to gaze at Inuyasha and Kagome who were holding hands. Shippou was sitting on Sango's shoulder and the monk was just walking beside her. The two weren't exactly in love like Kagome and Inuyasha were, but she could tell there was somewhat of a spark between them. She set her eyes back onto the path they were following. **In just a matter of time, I'll get Kagome alone. The plan was to get them to the castle... that's all. After that, I can tell Kagome I need her help. Then, I'll kill the stupid girl, let Naraku kill those others and use the jewel to save myself and Inuyasha. My love... I won't let you go so easily.**

That's all my little brain can think of right now. Gomen nasai... I'll be able to think more later on, promise. Ja ne.
