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

Naraku looked at the girl he had brought to his castle. She had severe wounds; Kikyo's arrow was removed from her upon entering the castle. It had penetrated deep, going in about 3 inches. This young maiden was able to bring down the powerful priestess Kikyo with ease. A feat even I, Naraku had trouble with. Her power is something for me to watch out for.

Gazing upon her face he saw her begin to wake up. Moaning Kagome tried to rise from her resting position. Sitting up she looked around the room she was in and saw a person in the corner. She searched mind for a memory of what had happened to her before she had come to this place. Remembering only falling from a high place and the severe pain at having finally landed on the ground, Kagome concentrated of the excruciating pain in her shoulder. Touching the bandaged wound she winced. Where am I? Wait! Who am I?!?! Beginning to panic she looked at the person who was concealing himself in the shadows.

"Hello? Can you help me?" Kagome's voice was timid and filled with fear. "I... Where am I? Who are you? I can't remember." Her voice trailed off.
"You don't remember what happened?" A dark low voice mixed with mild surprise answered her question.
"No. Is that a bad thing?" Her heart began to pound faster. "I don't even remember who I am. Please can you help me?"

Intriguing, the woman doesn't remember who she is. I wonder... I will keep her to use against Inu-Yasha! This girl can also see the sacred jewel shards. She will be very useful to me; I shall give her a reason to kill Inu-Yasha with her own hands!

Feigning a surprised look, Naraku drew Kagome closer to him. Looking into her sky blue eyes he imitated a distressed look. (A.N.-He's caused so much pain that he's bound to know what people look like when there very heartbroken and angry)

"Kagome, do mean to tell me you don't know who I am? Kagome, my love don't you remember me?" Naraku held her hand and gave her a hurt expression. "My name is Naraku. I am the Lord of these lands. I stayed by your side when you where recovering from your injuries. Kagome, I am the one you are to be married to in a few weeks time."

Kagome sat still in her bedding. I'm engaged? H...How can that be? I don't remember him. Although he looks familiar.. I guess.

"Naraku, I have no idea who you are or what I am doing here." Trying to remember, Kagome suddenly became dizzy. In a small and timid voice Kagome asked, "Naraku, where is my family? Are they here? Why am I injured in the first place?"

"No, your family was killed during a demon attack." Naraku composed a story to tell her. "The half-demon Inu-Yasha led the attack on your village. (A.N.-*innocent face* Where in the world have we heard this before? *rolls eyes*) during your fight he managed to get the better of you and Inu-Yasha's miko companion shot you with her arrow. You also managed to shoot her, killing her instantaneously. Enraged at his women's death Inu- Yasha threw you over the cliff edge, hoping you would die in the fall. It was there I found you and brought you here."

"I see." Kagome felt herself seething with hatred for this Inu-Yasha. I don't even have any memories of my slaughtered family! Inu-Yasha you will pay for every life taken from me! I will not rest until I have rid the earth of you!! My village was probably defenseless, unable to protect itself. She shook with the rage and incredible amount of disgust she felt toward the fiend Inu-Yasha.

"Naraku, I want to avenge my village with Inu-Yasha's life! I will not be at rest until I have his blood running through my hands!!"

"I'm afraid this is not the time my Beloved. But as soon as your wounds heal I will personally train you to avenge your people. Now you need your rest Kagome."
"Thank you. Will you visit me tomorrow? I don't know anyone besides you."
Naraku hesitated before answering, "Yes, I will see how you are faring in the morning."

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

It had been almost 5 hours since the remains of Kikyo were found and buried at their rightful place. Inu-Yasha had grieved all the while since, staying perched in his favorite tree staring off into nothing. Kikyo...Kikyo's gone.forever. I promised to avenge her death and then go to hell with her. At least I can keep on of those promises. Growling to himself he thought Naraku will pay for all the pain he made us suffer. I will save Kagome from Naraku and then give him a slow, bloody, painful death. Miroku and Sango had convinced Inu-Yasha to wait until the next day to look for Kagome. Inu-Yasha had of course insisted that they head out to search for Kagome that moment. They said that Kagome would want them to be in their best searching mode, which meant all of them rested and ready.
