Well, I updated. This will be a bit longer than the other chapters. I apologize to everyone for taking so long. And yes, as your read this chapter, considering the "R" rating, you may be expecting lemony goodness. As tempted as I am, this is not a lemon. For one thing, it would sortof change the story. For another thing, ff.net is being EVIL and taking lemons off. I'll rant about this at the end of the chapter. Oh, this fic is rated R for some disturbing content, possibly some language in the fic, and possibly some language in my rant in the end. And I would rather my rant after the fic be responded to than the fic.

Disclaimer: *sinister laughter/voice* Mwaaaaaaaaaa! Yes, yes! At long last, I own Inuyasha! Mwaaaaaaaaa. Now they shall all obey my commands! I have made Miroku and Sango confess their feelings for one another. I have done the same with Inuyasha and Kagome! *A howl of passion is heard from down the dark halls of my dark fortress.* Jaken and Kikyou are being slowly tortured to death. *Screams of mindless agony can be heard from another dark hallway leading from my throne room.* And as for Sesshoumaru . . . *I drop one of my arms from the side of my throne to run my fingers through long, straight, silvery hair, attatched to the head of a male youkai almost too beautiful for masculinity. The dark blue crescent moon on his forehead and pink stripes on the side of his head did nothing to detract from the majesty of the figure who was collared and leashed to the side of my throne.* The Lord of the Western Lands is now the Lord of the Western side of my throne. And Naraku? *The boyishly pretty figure is chained on the other side of my throne, curled up in a ball to sleep, his thick, curly black hair nearly making a blanket for him.* The hanyou who was once Oni-gumo is now the East of my throne. *I finger the Shikon no Tama that I wear on my neck.* I taught them both the error of their ways in the end, and they are better for it. I am still trying to decide who it is who I shall possess, who's perfect physical form I shall take, and be the very embodiement of beauty. *sinister laughter*

Door: Boom! *crashes open*

Romiko Takahashi: ~There~ you are! *Opens what appears to be a blank manga book, which opens something similar to a kaazana, causing all of the characters, even the bloodied Kikyou and Jaken, to rush into it. The fortress around me is dissolved, and soon it is only I, while the manga book depicts a random Inu/Kag fluff scene.

JadeSpider: *cries* Well *through my tears* you'll never catch me! *Takes out a wand.* Inuyasha isn't the only one who I've taken! ~Accio Sesshoumaru!~

Romiko Takahashi: Nooooo! *A page with Sesshoumaru on it rips from the manga book and flies to JadeSpider's hand.*

JadeSpider: Impedimenta!

Romiko Takahashi: *not moving*

J. K. Rowling: *Apparates next to Romiko Takahashi* Gotcha! Stupef-

JadeSpider: Taste my Poison Flower Claws! *poison gas drives the author of Harry Potter back* *Dissapparates*

J. K. Rowling: No, folks, he owns nothing except a desire to look like male anime characters.

***************************************************************

Kagome woke with pain digging into her wrists, and realized that it was from rope that had been wound tightly around her wrists. Rope attatched to the ceiling, so that she had to keep perfectly upright to stop the ropes from digging into her wrists.

She had but a moment to be confused before it hit her.

~Flashback~: pretend that this is in italics, ok?

::Where is he taking me?:: Kagome wondered as the youkai Lord of the Western Lands held her close to him as they sped along through the air. As the trees of the forest below them blurred. As they sped up, Sesshoumaru pressed her closer into him, and her face was all but crushed into his chest. She was dizzy from the speed, the altitude, and just the shock of being kidnapped. She inhaled, and noticed how he smelled quite lovely, before she curled up against him as he held her one-armed, and passed into unconciousness.

~End Flashback~

Kagome could smell the metalic scent of blood on her wrists, and she felt the warm blood run in a few drops down her arm.

Minutes of pain and terror went by before she heard rusty hinges of a door creak. Presumably, someone had opened a door, but as that there was no light before or after the noise, Kagome had no idea which. The trouble was, the door creaked again, but she heard no footsteps, and no breathing. The door might have opened and closed on its own . . . but Kagome knew better than that.

More minutes passed by, the pain increasing the longer that she was aware of the ropes scratching her bleeding wrists. Kagome wished in her head that ~something~ would happen to take away the suspense. She instantly regretted that wish.

She felt a soft breathing on the nape of her neck, and cold sweat began to run down her spine. She froze, remaining absolutely still, though her breathing began to come out in nervous gasps, and it was all that she could do not to shake. The breaths were silent and cool, but then she felt them become warmer and moister, and she knew that the possesser's mouth was so close to her skin that they would have been able to smell the salt from her skin had they been human. Of course, Kagome didn't have to feel the familiar energy of the youkai to know who it was behind her.

A nose rubbed against her skin, and .......

No, I'm sorry readers, I can't. Not right now.

I didn't plan on stopping this early, and I am really sorry, but ff.net is pissing me off. Really badly.

You see, evidently some time ago, a number of parents wrote in to ff.net complaining about how their children were on the sites, and they did not want "adult" content on there.

I am sorry, but that pisses me off.

Look: if you are a parent, you have a fucking obligation. You have to raise your kids so that they will be intelligent. If they are too young to be viewing lemons, then maybe you shouldn't be letting them use the internet without supervision for long periods of time. Or if they are 11 or older, leave them be. Who care's? It's a freakin' story? MOST of the authors on ff.net are above age 13, which is the generally accepted age for people to be members of websites that might expose them to adult language, violence, or yes, sexual expressions. If something has a lemon warning, leave it the fuck alone. Don't read it if you are going to get offended. It is an issue between the parent and their child, not the parent and ff.net and its authors. This is a wonderful site, but this fucking pisses me off.

Look, believe it or not, I don't go around reading lemons, ok? Check my stories. I have 2 so far. Neither are lemons. But that does NOT mean that I do not appreciate the value of such material. And what in the fucking hell is up with the "snitches" who keep reporting people for lemons?

IF YOU ARE A SNITCH, FUCK OFF. I AM SO FUCKING PISSED AT YOU, YOU FILTHY, VILE WRETCH. KIKYOU IS A FUCKING SAINT COMPARED TO YOU SLIMY SCUM. GO CRAWL IN A HOLE AND DIE.

I don't know who "Xing's Helper-chan" is, but whoever you are, I wish a thousand Naraku's upon you. And I am not a hateful person. I am disgusted by the behavior of some of the members of ff.net. The lot of YOU snitches are worse than fucking witch-hunters. I'm pagan, so that's saying something. Go fuck youselves. Oh, wait, was that too SUGGESTIVE for ff.net? Are the ickle children going to get FUCKING TRAUMOTIZED?

The above was not directed to the non-snitches. I'm sorry, a friend of mine informed me that she had been reported about something that was scarcely a lime, and I just wanted to vomit, I was so repulsed. I still am. I'll probably update again when my bowels aren't roiling every time that I go to ff.net. Blessed Be to all, save the snitches. If I believed in a hell, I would wish that you would get a taste of it.
