---Sorry about the late update. I had slipped into a busy schedule and had been out all day. THANK YOU LADY QUINN!!! Your review gave me an idea for this chapter, You rock! Enjoy!-------
Inuyasha was busy fussing over it all when Sesshoumaru suddenly snapped to attention. "I dont like this." he said. Inuyasha suddenly stopped "What?" he asked. Sesshoumaru gestured around "This was the bait...wheres the hook?" he asked. Inuyasha suddenly got it as well. "This was a trap. It just wasn't for us." Sesshoumaru said. "Rei!" Inuyasha exclaimed. "Precisely." was all Sesshoumaru said and turned on a dime running at full speed. Inuyasha followed him quickly. "I just hope its not to late." Sesshoumaru thought.
Back at the camp Rei was backed against a tree, shaking in fear. "L...leave now." she said, glaring up at the two spirits. Naraku laughed "Or you'll do what, little girl?" he asked. "I....I'll.....my brothers will come." she managed to say. Kikyo smiled, "What a weak demon. Depending souley on her brothers for protection." she reached down to pick the girl up roughly "Thats where your wrong, your a fool to think I need my brothers to protect me!" Rei said, angry. She lashed out at her hand, biting down, causing Kikyo to scream as the skin broke. "Wench!" she hissed, smacking her. Rei's head snapped to the side with the movement, her cheek red. Naraku laughed "Feisty little thing, isnt she." he said. "Yes." Kikyo said annoyed as the blood stopped and her wound closed up almost immediately, after all someone dead could not be harmed. Rei was knocked out from the hard slap, laying on her stomach, breathing lightly. Naraku bent down and picked her up roughly. "I'm sure her brothers will get the message now." Kikyo said. Naraku nodded "Yes, but now how would they know where to go?" "Leave it all to me, Inuyasha will know. He can always seem to smell me." she said, a smirk twisting her face at that.
Naraku nodded "Sure." he said. He didn't like following the lead of this priestess at all. Though he had no choice. She was the one who brought him back, therefore he was bound to her. If she was somehow killed again he would be too. "Now follow me." Kikyo said, moving quickly from the campsite, Naraku following her. Kikyo may not have been a demon though she was fast, probably gained her speed in her years of vanquishing all those evil beings. Soon Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru arrived at the messy camp. Things thrown out of place, somethings broken, signs of a struggle everywhere. "It seems our fears have been confirmed." Sesshoumaru said. Inuyasha growled deeply "You dont think they.." he started "No, they need her as bait. They wouldn't kill her just yet. Not until we arrive." Sesshoumaru said. "I wonder where they went." Inuyasha, just as Kikyo thought he would sniffed the air 'I know where, just to the east. Kikyo's smell is still fresh, we should go now." Inuyasha said. "No, we have time on our side. Were both tired, therefore we should rest. Its better to be rested before a battle, then wary with sleep." he said. Inuyasha was going to protest. They could get further with a night's time on there hands. But his brother was right, though he would never admit it. "Fine." he said, reluctantly.
So they both cleaned up the mess loading things up so they could be quickly picked up in the morning so as not to waste time. Then for the first time they both slept together underneath the same tree. Inuyasha on one side Sesshoumaru on the other. Usually, Rei would be between them, but this time, there was an empty space. Back with the two kidnappers there kidnappee had awoken, and was none too happy. "You dirty foul freaks! Let me go!" Rei shouted from a tree. Bound by a spell ((A/N like the one that bound Inuyasha to that tree in the episode where Kikyo kissed him infront of Kagome.)) she struggled but to no avail. "That girl is getting very frustrating." Naraku said, annoyance in his voice. They were surrounded in a clearing by trees of every kind. Tall and short, skinny and round, old and young. "Patience, Naraku. Her brothers will come soon." Kikyo said, her eyes closed, they opened as she added "I can feel it." she finished.
