IMPORTANT NOTE: For you wonderful people who've stuck with me all along, I've changed Jiro's name to Akiro, because the name Jiro sounded too much like my worst enemy at school; I just realized that. Please don't hate me for it! Wahh! I'm sorry you guys have to reset your brains to register "Akiro" instead of "Jiro" but I can't have my heroine fall in love with my worst enemy!
Disclaimer: For the billionth time I don't own Inuyasha! So don't sue me! The characters of Kami and Akiro, however, belong to me and I will rip to bloody shreds anyone who steals them. Kami and Akiro cower behind me.
I'm so sorry I haven't updated in awhile! But I've been so busy, what with the three-day school trip and packing and everything else.
Whoo hoo! How was that for Kikyo bashing last chapter? Did you like it? You wanna see more? Review and tell me!

Chapter 14
"Kami? Are you there?" Kagome's face loomed out at her through the darkness.
"Kagome!" Kami ran to her. "I'm so glad to see you I—"
Kagome's face was rapidly disappearing to be replaced with that of Naraku. He laughed evilly. "You can't escape. You will never escape."
"Leave her alone." A boy walked in between them. Who… Kami thought… Akiro!
"Do you dare disobey your master?" snarled Naraku.
Akiro glared at him. "Yes. Because I—"
Kami sat up groggily. "Ugh," she said. "Did I fall asleep?" Dull, miasmic sunlight filtered through the shoji screens.
"You've been asleep for quite awhile," said Akiro, walking across the room to join Kami in sitting on the floor.
Kami's stomach let out a huge grumble. She smiled thinly and blushed a little. "Hey, I've got some cookies in my backpack. Wanna share?"
"What are cookies?"
"Umm… I guess they're like bread only sweeter and flatter and crunchier. Here." She dug a package of coconut-chocolate chip cookies out of her bag. "They're kinda mushed from where I sat and stuff, but overall it's good," she said, ripping the plastic bag open and cramming a handful of mostly-crumbs in her mouth. "Want 'em?"
"Okay," he said hesitantly, accepting a whole one from Kami. He sniffed it. Kami giggled. "S-sorry," she said. "It's just nobody I knew before you sniffed the food they ate."
Akiro glared at her, but Kami could see a hint of friendliness behind those arctic blue eyes.
Behind the shoji screen, Naraku watched. He bared his teeth and watched Akiro smiling and laughing with Kami. How dare that little boy disobey orders. I'll kill him with my bare hands, forget about squeezing his heart. I should have made another ogre. I should have never given him human form.
"Having trouble, my lord?" asked Kagura, strolling up behind Naraku. He jumped, having not heard her footsteps. She smirked. Evidently, Naraku was jittery today.
"Next time you do not make your presence known, I'll kill you," he growled.
Kagura's face showed no emotion. "If Kikyo couldn't get her to fork over the ball, what makes you think you'll be able to?"
"Kikyo wasn't kind enough. If I keep her alive, with time she'll be grateful and turn it over."
"What about the dog demon and his bunch? Won't they find her sooner or later?"
"No. I've put a protective spell on this castle so they'll never find it. Never!" Naraku laughed crazily. Kagura stepped back, alarmed. She ran off down the hallway. Never had she seen Naraku this zealous before. He was usually quietly evil, not this loud.
Inuyasha and crew's POV
"The scent's stopped suddenly!" Inuyasha cried, halting dead in midair. "I can't track it anywhere!"
"Wait! Inuyasha! I feel an aura," said Kagome, her eyes getting wide.
"And how do you know it's not from a Shikon jewel shard?" snapped Inuyasha. He hadn't slept for days; he was exhausted from the continuous traveling to find Kami.
"Because this is a huge aura! It's got to be coming from Kami's Pokeball! And it's very close in the West!" Kagome replied, her hands shaking. At last, they had found her.
Wow, this chapter took me really long to complete because I had writer's block. But how did it turn out? I might and might not update for awhile because I have finals coming up and everything, so don't be pissed at me. Thank you for all your wonderful reviews!
Bye!
