Temptress

~*You liked the last chapter I hope. Now updating for DragonTamer ehehehe because her squirrel legion is watching and threatening! Enjoy.*~

~*Last time:

"Something terribly wrong is going on in Kagome's life and mind. And I don't think we can help her."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Her hand pressed her against her stomach, the scar that hadn't gone away. She stopped, exhausted. Unable to run. She lifted her shirt, nothing. But to her the long scar the knife had left was there. Evident from tip to tip. The long trails of blood, the bandages that she couldn't explain to her friends and teachers.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"No shit Sherlock," spoke Sango agitatedly, "if you had been listening you would know that some sex-crazed maniac named Naraku has been after Kagome since she was about six!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"He found her."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

On with it…

"What do you mean he found her? How the hell would you know?" asked Sango agitatedly.

"Because that sick minded bastard is fast! We've dealt with him before. He disappears like a damned magician!"

"He already takes pleasure out of hurting Kagome," said Sesshomaru calmly, "it's even more of a pleasure to him now that he knows that she's somehow involved with our family."

Rin turned to glare at InuYasha.

"I'm even daring to guess he knows she's supposed to be InuYasha's mate by the way he screamed it out last night."

Sango abruptly turned from Rin's face to InuYasha's.

"You mother fucking-" she stood up and lunged herself at InuYasha.

Miroku ran after her and caught her before she could land a punch on InuYasha. InuYasha's shocked face had everyone on end. He growled at everybody and stood up.

"Where are you going InuYasha?" asked Sango trying to make Miroku let go of her arms.

"To look for her. Her scent may be just faint traces but I can still find her. Mark my words I will find her before that bastard does any damage to her."

"Then we're all going with you!"

Miroku let go of Sango and stood alongside her. The couple walked out of the house that way, InuYasha following them. Sesshomaru growled lightly and started to walk but turned when Rin started to follow.

"You are obviously staying here."

"Sesshomaru I may be of some help. Plus, what if the insomaniac comes here and takes me too? I am your mate after all."

He growled pensively, "Fine. But you're only coming for your own safety. Do anything I tell you not to and you won't hear the end of it. You won't feel it either."

Rin nodded quickly and ran to his side. With her small arms around on of his arms they walked out quickly, following the group of people searching for Kagome.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"You can't have me sick bastard! I despise your presence!"

"No you don't my love," he said harshly, "you love me with your very being."

He yanked her into a standing position and slapped her. Blood flew and her cheek was already starting to show signs of a large bruise. She cried silently, feeling weak and lost. ~It's like last time. Yet nobody is going to save me this time. He's going to kill them all.~

"You envied him for everything."

"Shut up," Naraku growled.

"He had my love, good education, money. He had affection."

"Shut UP!" Naraku growled insistently.

"You killed him thinking I would run to you immediately afterwards. But it didn't happen that way. Ray told me all about you; your cruelty. I knew about your character before I even knew your name!"

"Shut up. You shouldn't have listened to that stupid idiotic son of a-"

"He reminded me of who tried to rape me. It was you all along. I had subconciously buried all of the painful memories deep inside of me and you just reopened my wound. The wound you made both physically and mentally!"

"I didn't harm you! I tried to show you my love!"

"That wasn't love you sick, twisted son of a bitch! You're some sort of disease that doesn't go away and is slowly eating me from the inside out. I want you gone! You've taken everything I loved most in life. You've done enough damage!"

"No. I will not leave until I have what I came for. You."

"You can't have me."

"Then nobody else can either!"

Naraku harshly pushed her up against his body and she cried out. Her body froze and tried to shrink away from his vile touch. She whimpered and tried to avoid his touch as much as possible.

"Don't worry. You'll enjoy every second."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

InuYasha's speed was surpassing that of his human companions. Sango tried her best to keep up, but not even she could catch up to him. Sesshomaru had left also, leaving Rin behind. Now they were lost in a maze not willing to give up for their friend's sake.

"I can't believe they had the nerve to leave us behind when I said that I was going with them!!!"

"Sango," said Miroku quietly, "they won't listen to you. Not when it's a family member at stake."

"FAMILY member? Are you listening to yourself??? She is MY family!!!"

"She WANTS to be InuYasha's girlfriend wether you want it to happen or not. The pain Naraku has caused her prevents her from that though."

"How would YOU know?"

"You haven't noticed her painfilled eyes when she talks to InuYasha?"

"I-I…"

"She desires to have his love, just as he desires to have hers. Yet the obstacle of Naraku and her disturbed childhood is just too much to be overlooked."

Sango remained quiet with a shocked look on her face. Miroku was making sense and leaving her in a dust of understanding. She looked down, knowing she had lost the battle. Her friend Kagome wanted happiness and there was no way she could get to it if Naraku was in existance.

Her anger reached high extents and she started running, almost aimlessly. Miroku and Rin followed her with wide eyes. Two daggers in her hands she was running as she had never before. Sharp turns suddenly opened to what looked like an empty garden. They all knew better.

"Kagome!"

All five voices shouted in unison. InuYasha and Sesshomaru looked towards their companions and soon joined them. Side by side they advanced towards the enemy and their friend. Out of nowhere a beautiful woman clad in red appeared in front of them.

"Stop."

All three men stopped and the women bumped into them from behind. Vines quickly wrapped themselves around the girls' legs and arms, covering their faces so that their panicked screams could not be heard. Soon they were covered from head to toe and could hardly breathe. Through the thick vines of imprisonment they could hear a distant voice they assumed to be the deadly woman's. Her voice clearly rang in their ears. Entrancing, she seduced the men into thoughtlessness. Zombies that would only obey her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile Kagome was screaming, her face red with sorrow, screeching everytime Naraku reached over and tore her clothes. She covered herself in vain, knowing he would get to her somehow. Her tears were those of resignation of what was to come. She felt herself start to lose conciousness. Hr balance left her and she felt herself fall backwards. Every sound was drowned out and it seemed she was engulfed in light. Warm and protective feathers wrapped themselves around her bruised body. For a moment she thought of Ray, but caught herself knowing it was impossible. A hand against her cheek and her name being lightly whispered in a voice so long ago heard made her eyes snap open.

"Ray…"
