The Demon Known as Kagome
Chapter 15
--- ------ ----- ----- Last Time ----- -------- --------- 'Inu Yasha.please hurry,' she thought. 'Kagome.hold on. I'm on the way. I'll find you as fast as I can. and when I do Naraku will be dead!' Inu Yasha said to himself as they ran after Naraku. ------- ------------ ------------- ----------
Kagome woke to find herself chained to a stone wall. Candles were mounted on the cold walls. She could see, but the room still appeared to be somewhat dark. She tried to pull the chains from her wrists, but with no luck. Her wrists and ankles were chained securely to the wall. Kagome looked around. Sango was to her left and Rin to her right. Lanuta and Heisei were on the opposite wall facing them. She looked in the corner and saw Sango's boomerang, her bow and arrows and Heisei, Lanuta and Rin's swords lying on the floor. "Sango.," Kagome whispered. Sango stirred, but did not wake. She tried Rin, but she didn't wake either. Kagome called to the other two across the room, but still no one would answer her. 'What's wrong with them? Are they still worn out from fighting?' Kagome asked herself. She tried to release herself a few more times. Naraku walked in and turned to her. "Your awake I see," he said slyly, "Your friends will be out for a little while longer. You should come with me." He released her chains from the wall. She was still in them only they were connected somehow now. She felt like a person on a chain gang. He turned and she hesitated. "You can either come with me or witness your friends deaths," he said, turning his head to her with a smirk. "You will not scare me Naraku," she said defiantly. Kagome stared at him. "Then your friends shall die," he said. He walked over to Rin and pulled on an invisible string it seemed. Her head moved towards him and she appeared to be choking. "Stop it!" Kagome yelled. She tried to move towards him, but her chains prevented much movement. He turned to her. "Will you listen then?" he asked almost in a sympathetic voice, but Kagome saw right through it. She watched him carefully. "If you will leave them alone. than yes," she said. She looked to the ground. She was ashamed of what he might have her do, but she had to wait until Inu Yasha came and watch out for the other's safety, too. Naraku turned and left with Kagome following behind him. He turned into what seemed to be a large room with a chair and small table. The table held a piece of parchment, ink and a quill. Inu Yasha sped towards the castle. He could tell they still had some distance to cover before they got near, but he didn't care. He had to get there and fast. They did stop for a break near a stream, but they kept going. No one really wanted to rest for very long. Kagome sat on the floor and heard Naraku write something on the scroll. He summoned Kagura and she came and took it. He watched intent in his chair. Kagome looked at the floor. She didn't want to watch him. A tear slid down her cheek, but other than that she showed no emotion. "You know.," he said. "Inu Yasha should arrive in about three days," he added calmly. She looked up at him and brushed away the tear with her hand. "There is plenty of time to prepare for his arrival," he said with a smirk. He stood and moved over to Kagome. She watched him the entire time. Naraku looked down at her, but pulled her up by the wrist. He moved to the door and Kagome followed. When the were halfway back to the others Kagome made a comment. "Inu Yasha will come for me," she said proudly. Naraku whipped around and looked down at her. He brought up his hand and backhanded her across the face. She fell backwards and her mouth bled from the right corner. "I'm planning on it," he said. He grabbed the chain around her wrists and dragged her back to the stone room. He reattached her to the wall and left. Rin had awoken and watched them. She tried to get loose and go after Naraku, but couldn't. She looked at Kagome's face and saw the blood and a bruise forming. Rin looked at Naraku and he seemed irritated. "Kagome.," Rin said softly. Kagome turned to her. "Rin. Your awake," she said. "Yes. my head hurts though," she said. From the other side of the room they heard, "Kagome? Rin? Where are we?" It was Heisei. She seemed tired, too, and could barely hold her head up. "We are in Naraku's castle," Kagome said as she turned to her. "Kagome what happened?" Heisei said gesturing lightly to the bruise and blood now dripping from her chin to the floor. "It's nothing," Kagome said, "Just Naraku." "Sango?" Rin asked. Sango was stirring and pulling on her chains a little. She opened her eyes and looked around. "Where are we?" she asked. "Naraku's castle," Heisei chipped in. Kagome looked at her. "Kagome what happened?" Sango asked. "Yes, Kagome. what has happened?" Lanuta asked. Kagome looked to her and figured she might as well tell them what Naraku said. She told them the story of what happened, even the threat to them. They all kept looking at her fresh bruise and the blood that kept running down her cheek and onto the floor. "He'll pay!" Sango said. She was angry and everyone could tell. Sango pulled on her chains as hard as she could, but nothing helped. "Don't worry about it Sango. We have better things to do," Kagome said. They discussed what they could do. An hour later Naraku came back and took Kagome again, but not without a struggling and growling Sango. He took her to a room farther away from the others this time. He put her in a chair and Kagura came from behind one of the curtains. She told Naraku of Inu Yasha and the guys progress to get here. "Persistent aren't they?" he asked Kagome with a smile, "But what I don't understand is why? They have nothing to gain by coming here." He did one of his evil smirks again. Kagome growled and stood up from her chair. Naraku watched her with pleased eyes. Kagura had since been gone after she told Naraku of Inu Yasha. Kagome decided she would give another smart remark. Besides she had nothing to lose. "Inu Yasha will kill you Naraku! You have no chance of winning!" she yelled. Naraku was up and at her side in an instant. He grabbed her neck and threw her against the wall. Kagome fell to the floor. She hit her back hard against a wood pillar. She even left an indentation. Kagome looked back up at Naraku. He came over and backhanded her again in the same spot as before. She spat up more blood and it continued to run down her cheek and onto the floor. She took a few gasps of breath and noticed that she broke one of her ribs, the second rib from the bottom on the left to be precise. She winced in pain. 'At least it's me and not them,' Kagome thought. She wanted to protect the others as much as possible. She didn't believe she could protect them from all harm, but she had to try. She stumbled to stand and Naraku dragged her back to the stone room. When Kagome got there she was greeted by a few growls. They could obviously tell he hit her again and that her bleeding had worsened. Naraku placed her back on the wall and looked at her for a few seconds and left. "Kagome? Did he hit you again?" Rin asked in an urgent voice. "Yes. but don't worry about me. I'm fine," she said and winced from breathing with her broken rib. "Kagome? What else did he do? You wouldn't be in so much pain if he only hit you again," Sango said full of concern and worry. Kagome had to tell them the new story and of her broken rib. She winced a few more times during the story, but she couldn't stop the pain. Inu Yasha wanted to keep running, but they had to stop to get some rest for the night. Sesshomaru did not appear to be much happier than Inu Yasha was. Miroku made a fire and Hanto and Kilala went to find something to eat. Kagome somehow could tell it was night and she told Sango of her new knowledge. "How do you know that Kagome?" she asked. "I'm not sure," Kagome replied, "We should rest though." They all went to sleep to the sound of Kagome's blood still dripping to the floor. The next morning Kagome woke in a totally different room. This one was elaborately decorated and there were many furnishings. She saw a mirror in the corner and went to look at her bruise. She looked into the mirror and saw that her right cheek was entirely a deep black and blue and the blood trail was still there from before. She lifted up her shirt and examined her broken rib. You could tell that it was broken jut by looking at it. Naraku appeared behind her in the mirror. She looked at him with cold eyes through the mirror and he looked at her. Naraku touched her left shoulder and ran his hand down her arm. "So beautiful. yet so naive," he said. She turned on him. "Don't touch me!" she said. He caught her arms. He kissed her and she tried to pull away, but could not. "You know. soon you will have my scent. and Inu Yasha will not want you anymore," he said. "Get off of me! I will never betray Inu Yasha or my friends!" Kagome yelled. Naraku grabbed her hair and pulled her head back. "Now, now. temper, temper," he said shaking his finger, "You will betray Inu Yasha." Kagome looked at him in horror. Naraku smacked her across the face in the same place again and returned her to the stone wall. "Kagome? Are you ok?" Heisei asked. "Yes. I'm fine," Kagome said. She told them the story without them asking since it had already become custom. Sango growled again and Rin was almost crying. "I'm fine. really," Kagome said turning to both girls with a splatter of blood following her head movement. Lanuta watched her blood drip to the floor. "We should try to get out of these," Sango said and she pulled on the chains some more. "It's no use. I've already tried many times," Kagome said. Kagome watched Sango pull on the chains silently. She looked to the ground and a tear slid down her cheek. Naraku came back a couple hours later and took Kagome yet again. She silently followed him to a room. He had her sit on the floor and he sat on a chair a few feet in front of her. She suddenly felt dizzy and noticed a potent scent in the air and a lingering mist. She covered her nose with her hand and coughed a few times. She watched him and he smiled. She soon passed out. "Inu. Yasha. I'm sorry," she mumbled softy before she hit the ground. Naraku stood up and moved over to her. He carried her to a different room and closed the door. He laid her on a futon sort of thing and removed her clothes along with his own. For the next half an hour Naraku raped Kagome. The entire time he had a smirk on his face. When Kagome awoke from her slumber she found her clothes in a pile on the other side of the room. She knew what Naraku had done to her. Her chains were still tightly secured to her wrists. She sniffed the air and she smelled almost completely like Naraku now. 'I'm sorry.Inu Yasha. I couldn't protect myself,' she said. She cursed herself for being weak. When she put her clothes back on she found a bowl of rice and hungrily ate. When she was finished Naraku returned. He returned with a vicious smile on his face. Kagome stood and growled at him. He simply looked at her. She flexed her claw and lunged towards him, but he easily moved to avoid her. "You know. that is not a wise decision," Naraku commented. "Why?.," she asked turning to him, tears silently flowing down her cheeks. "You mean you don't understand?" Naraku asked. "No. I don't. Why couldn't you leave me alone. I am not yours to play with Naraku! I am the mate of Inu Yasha. not you!" Kagome said defiantly. He drifted towards her. "Since you don't understand you can return to the dungeon with your friends. Maybe they can help you figure it out," he said, "But yet. I wonder what your friends will think. and what of Inu Yasha?. now that you have my scent instead of his." Inu Yasha awoke with a start. He lifted a hand to his head in pain. He had a feeling something bad had happened, only he didn't know what. 'Kagome.,' he thought. Miroku rolled over and looked at him. "Inu Yasha?" he asked in a sleepy voice. "I'm fine. go back to bed," Inu Yasha said as he glanced to Miroku. He looked over to Shippo and Ganu who was sleeping peacefully, Sesshomaru who was on the other side of Miroku and leaning against a tree and Kilala and Hanto who were cuddled next to one another.

He looked over to Shippo and Ganu who was sleeping peacefully, Sesshomaru who was on the other side of Miroku and leaning against a tree and Kilala and Hanto who were cuddled next to one another.
