Chapter Nineteen:
"Naraku!" Inuyasha growled. His eyes narrowed as he looked at Naraku. "What have you done with them? Where are they?"
"Patience, Inuyasha." Naraku smirked at the half-demon. Miroku let go of his hair and clenched his fists at his side.
Jack got up from his kneeling position and ran to be nose to nose with Naraku. "Who in bloody hellfire are you?" Jack asked.
"That is irrelevant to the moment, Captain Sparrow." Naraku backed away slightly, his cold, black eyes still fixed on the Hershey-colored ones of Jack.
"Well, what is relevant to the moment, mate?"
"Some guests that I have back at my castle, they might interest you. One is in much pain at the moment due to a severe dagger wound to the side. The other is frightened, oh yes, very frightened, indeed. I believe her name is Jacklyn and the other is a William."
"Damn you!" Jack swung a fist at Naraku but was held back by chains connecting to a fan behind him.
"Kagura!" Miroku said. Kagura just grinned and pulled the chains binding Jack, stretching his arms to the longest length.
"Yes, Jack, I have them. I also have two others that may interest all three of you: Sango and Kagome."
"You better not lay a hand on them, on any of them!" Inuyasha ordered.
"They will not be harmed, for now." With that, Naraku, Kagura, and the chains on Jack's arms disappeared. Jack knelt down and slammed his fists on the ground.
"I should have never brought them here. It's my fault. Should never have dragged them into this," Jack stated as he ran the dirt through his fingers.
"Bandana," the little girl cried from behind them, "Bandana, come here." Jack got up and went to the girl still under the tree. He took her leg and eased it out from under the tree. "Bandana, I found this shiny thing on the floor. Will it help?"
"Sure it will, love," Jack whispered. The shiny thing was a jewel shard; how this child found it, he did not know. Jack picked up the girl and she clung to his neck. Slowly, he walked over to Inuyasha and Miroku and asked, "Are any others still alive, mate?"
"No, she is the only one," Miroku answered. Miroku went over to Inuyasha and put a hand on his shoulder. "What should we do, Inuyasha?"
