Inuyasha To The Rescue (Again!)
~~Chapter 3~~
Inuyasha took a deep breath. He needed to stay calm if he wanted to find her. If he ever wanted to see her again.
The disgusting creature that took her ('That won't live to see the day!' he thought angrily), was trying to cover it's scent. Therefore he had no trail to follow, just a general direction to go in. He headed out slowly, careful not to miss anything.
Weird thoughts kept pushing to the front of his mind, gruesome thoughts about all the horrible things that could have happened to her, which only served to make him more angry, and guilty.
The funny part though, was that he couldn't tell if he was thinking: "Inuyasha, you better get her back safe!" or if he was thinking: "Inuyasha, please come rescue me!"
"Kagome..." he yelled in frustration, looking for something to guide him.
And then, out of nowhere, his own mind started saying: "Ten years at least to carve this place!" Talk about random thoughts! 'Must've imagined it,' he told himself, before resuming the "Go get her!/Come help me!" conflict.
'Wait one minute! That carved fort-palace-thing-Feh-whatever it's called, is in this direction! How on earth...?!' Oh well. He would just have to deal with his new 'read-someone's-mind' ability later. After he had Kagome back. He quickened his pace.
~*~*~*~*~*~
The Master began his questioning. "What powers will this jewel give me?"
Kagome was extremely worried. What should she tell him? 'Might as well go with the truth,' she thought. 'I don't want to die.'
"When the shards are in your body, they boost your physical or spiritual strength. They're most powerful when corrupted."
A smile like that of a small boy who had just found out that Christmas was coming early passed over the Master's face. "Continue," he stated.
"It helps you regenerate lost limbs."
"The full jewel, I take it, is much more powerful than this lump of shards?"
Kagome nodded meekly.
"You've proven yourself far more useful than I had hoped, girl." He gave a sharp nod to his servant. "Dispose of her."
"But-" she cried out.
His voice had turned harsh again. "Never trust a demon, girl! Or didn't your mother ever teach you that?" he asked sarcastically. Once again he turned to his servant.
But his servant didn't move.
'Thank the gods!' thought Kagome.
The Master's eyebrows rose in annoyance. "Impertinent fool!"
"No Master! I always obey you, yessss. I just ... my prizzze ..." his gaze flickered over to Kagome. "Very pretty, yessss."
'Uh-oh!' Little warning bells were going off in her head.
An almost unnoticeable grin appeared on the Master's face, his words once again smooth and dignified. "I see. Yes, you may...play...with her." And then he exited the room, to go deeper into his carven palace, to speculate on what to do with the not-yet-complete-jewel.
Kagome's eyes were now wide with fear and horror, as the rat came at her with a wicked smile plastered across his face.
"Inuyasha..." she whimpered.
