Chapter 20
Inuyasha and Kagome were just about to go on their honeymoon, so of course Inuyasha's big bro had to appear! He has the newlywed's unconscious and at his mercy! Why did he kidnap them? What will he do to them? Will they survive? Read on to find out!
After being out for hours, Inuyasha finally woke up. He was in a dark room, and he was chained to a wall. His eyelids were heavy, as the knockout gas had taken it's toll on his heightened senses. Everything was a blur, and Inuyasha couldn't smell Kagome anywhere. "Where the hell am I?" He wondered to himself. Inuyasha tried to move his arms and legs, but he was unable to move more than a few inches. Suddenly, he remembered what had happened in the limo. "Sesshomeru." He growled, disgusted by the sound of the name rolling off his tongue. Hearing his name called out, Sesshomeru opened the door and showed himself to his brother. "Hello, half-breed. How's married life going?" Sesshomeru asked dryly. "Bastard! Where's Kagome?" Inuyasha yelled out, barely able to see the figure in front of him. "Your woman? She's safe, for now." Sesshomeru responded cooly. "You haven't done anything to her?" Inuyasha asked. "No, not yet anyways." Sesshomeru replied. "Why have you kidnapped us? What the hell do you want?" Inuyasha yelled. "Always impatient and obnoxious, aren't you, little brother?" Sesshomeru countered.
In a room on the other side of the building, Kagome was abruptly awakened from her gas-induced slumber. "Hi! Will you play with me? You look fun! I'm bored." A young girl was standing next to the bed Kagome was chained to, and she obviously thought that she had found a new playmate. Kagome was still shaken up from all that had happened, but she still had the presence of mind to care about the young girl's feelings. "Who are you?" Kagome asked gently, her eyes still trying to focus in on the small girl. "I'm Rin! Lord Sesshomeru told me to keep an eye on you and make sure you are comfortable. Want to play with me?" The girl blurted out. "Sesshomeru! That's right! He's the one who kidnapped Inuyasha and I. If I want to find Inuyasha, I better play this cool." Kagome thought to herself. "Do you know where Sesshomeru is, Rin?" She asked the girl. "Yes. He is talking to his brother right now." Rin replied. "Good. Inuyasha must be okay, then, for now. Why would this young girl be hanging out with Sesshomeru?" Kagome wondered to herself.
"I have kidnapped you and your woman because I wish to make a trade. I want the Tetsuiga. If you give me the sword, I will give the woman back to you." Sesshomeru said coldly. "That's what you wanted? Fine, I'll give it to you." Inuyasha grumbled. "For Kagome, I'd give up the sword without a second thought." Inuyasha thought to himself. "It seems that this woman has tamed you, Inuyasha. You would never have given up on the sword so easily in the past. When I use the Tetsuiga to kill you, I will almost feel bad about killing such a soft half-breed." Sesshomeru laughed. "I knew that he'd want more than just the sword. He still wants my life as well!" Inuyasha thought to himself. "As long as Kagome is free from you and safe, than I don't care if you try to kill me." Inuyasha snarled. "Try to kill you? A softened half-breed like you will not give me any trouble, brother. Especially not when I have your Tetsuiga." Sesshomeru responded.
"Rin, do you think you could free me from these chains?" Kagome asked the young girl. "Um, I better not. Lord Sesshomeru said not to loosen the chains, no matter what." Rin replied, seeming a little unsure. "I can't play with you while I'm chained to the bed. If you would let me loose, I'm sure we could have lots of fun!" Kagome told the child. This was obviously a desperate attempt by Kagome to free herself, and she thought for sure that Rin would figure this out. She didn't. "I guess Lord Sesshomeru wouldn't mind, as long as you don't run away." Rin said happily, retrieving the key to the chains. She let Kagome out, and Kagome quickly came up with an idea. "Let's play hide and seek. You stay here, and I'll go hide. When the big hand on this clock gets to the 6 (it was currently at the 12), you come and find me." Kagome told the child. "Okay! Don't go too far, though. I'm still scared of some of the really dark rooms." Rin told the older girl. "Don't worry, I won't go too far." Kagome replied. "Now, to find Inuyasha." She thought to herself as she left the dark room.
"Where is the sword? You obviously don't carry it with you anymore." Sesshomeru asked. "It's back at the shrine. I stuck it in the top of the tree that I was once sealed to." Inuyasha replied, hating the fact that he was telling this to his brother. "Good. I shall relay this information to Jaken. He is near that area anyways, so I will have him retrieve the sword." Sesshomeru rasped. "He won't be able to touch the sword, you idiot! He's a demon!" Inuyasha yelled, not realizing that Sesshomeru had already solved that problem. A human was being held at staff-point ( It shoots fire, so it's kind of like a gun - Tonyf) by Jaken, and he would carry the sword. "That won't be a problem. Name-calling won't get you anywhere, brother." Sesshomeru growled, punching Inuyasha in the face. Inuyasha quickly recovered, and he looked his evil brother in the eyes. "How the hell did you get here, anyways?" Inuyasha asked. "I came through the famous 'well' that you and your woman always traveled through. I made it through just before you sealed it. I have spent all of my time since then observing you. Let me tell you, you lead a pretty boring life now. You should be grateful that I will be putting you out of your misery." Sesshomeru responded with a laugh.
"Does this place go on for miles? I have searched through at least 50 rooms, and I still haven't found Inuyasha!" Kagome thought to herself as she continued her search. Finally, she heard muffled voices in the distance. "That must be Sesshomeru and Inuyasha!" She thought as she ran towards the sound. Kagome reached the door, and she heard Inuyasha's voice. Without thinking it through, she burst through. Kagome caught sight of Inuyasha first, and she ran towards him. "Inuyasha! You're okay!" She yelled happily as she ran. Before Inuyasha could warn her, though, Sesshomeru reached out and stopped her. "Stay where you are, girl." He growled. "Rin must have let her out. She doesn't normally disobey me, though. This girl must be more cunning than I thought." Sesshomeru thought to himself. "Let me go! I need to be with Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed, struggling to free herself from his grasp. "Don't you dare hurt her, or I will make you suffer!" Inuyasha growled at his brother. With this, Sesshomeru could only manage a laugh. "YOU will make ME suffer? That is the most humorous thing that's ever come from your mouth, half-breed!" Sesshomeru said with an evil grin.
"Ah, your sword has finally arrived. I can smell the stench of burnt human, so Jaken has obviously taken the liberty of paying the hostage for his services. I'll be back in a minute, brother. You can watch your girlfriend for me." Sesshomeru said coldly. As he left the room, Kagome ran to her husband (That sounds weird, doesn't it? - Tonyf). "Inuyasha! Are you okay?" Kagome asked as she hugged him tightly. "I'm fine. You need to promise me something, Kagome. This is very important." Inuyasha said calmly as he looked into her eyes. "What is it?" She asked, the worry evident in her voice. "No matter what happens to me, you have to promise to leave this place and stay alive." Inuyasha told her. "What do you mean? What does Sesshomeru plan on doing?" She asked, starting to sound panicky. "Don't worry. I don't plan on letting him kill me, but if anything should happen to me, I want you to live on." Inuyasha said, still looking her straight in the eye. "I couldn't. You're everything to me, Inuyasha. If anything happens to you, I won't have any reason to live." She replied shakily, tears now streaming down her face. "Kagome...." Inuyasha said quietly, his voice trailing off. Just then, Sesshomeru walked back into the room, the Tetsuiga held tightly in the hand he had 'borrowed' from a human. He threw Kagome to the side, and he used the sword to cut down the chains that bonded Inuyasha. "Let's go, brother. Your death is imminent." Sesshomeru rasped as he got in a fighting stance. "We'll see!" Inuyasha yelled, lunging towards the evil demon.
Whew! That was another long one! I can't believe that I wrote all of that and I still haven't got into the real action yet! Well, the next chapter should be another good one, as the fateful battle between Inuyasha and Sesshomeru begins! Read Review! Tonyf
