Chapter Five
Safe Inside Myself

Me: YAYYY!! MY WRITER'S BLOCK IS GONE! It's a time for celebrating!!
A/N: Gee I realized this last night. When I changed the name to Naomi and giving the reason is sounded more Japanesey, it doesn't look it eh? But I've found a Japanesey way of spelling it: Nyoumi or Nyomi....but it looked like a boys name, but if you want me to change it, just say it yourself.

The next morning, Inuyasha got up and took a long stretch. He looked around and saw that Sango and Naomi were out of bed.
They must have gone off or something, Inuyasha thought. He looked over at Miroku who was snoring and hit him on the head. The houshi let out a grunt as he opened his eyes.
"What is it Inuyasha?" he asked.
"Do you know where Sango and Naomi went?"
Miroku shook his head and drifted back to sleep.
Inuyasha sighed as he kicked him over the head, but Miroku didn't seem to notice.
Inuyasha's head snapped up. What was with this faint scent? Inuyasha looked around and sniffed the air. Whoever left the scent wasn't here for very long. The scent was so faint, Inuyasha could hardly identify it. He just shrugged and went off to look for Naomi and Sango.
He sniffed the air again. How was it that he could trace Sango's scent, but not Naomi's?
He jumped up when Sango burst in front of his face.
"AHH!" he exclaimed, then looked her in the eye. "What do you think your doing, popping up like that?"
Sango took in a deep breath, then blurted out: "Naomi-chan's missing!"
Inuyasha widened his eyes and his ears twitched. "What did you say?"
Sango took in another breath. "Naomi-chan's missing!" she yelled in his face. Inuyasha took the time to wipe spit off of his face.
"What do you mean?!" he demanded.
"I don't know." Sango said, closing her eyes. "I woke up early and saw that Naomi-chan was out of bed, then I went to look around for her, and she's not here!" she yelled. "She's not here! Where could she have gone!?"
Inuyasha clenched his fist. So that was why he couldn't trace out Naomi's scent. His closed his eyes and searched through his head to find out who this familiar scent belonged to.
Sango observed, being in an obvious state of confusion.
Inuyasha's eyes snapped open, his eyes narrowed into angry slits. He punched a deep hole in the ground.
"That bastard!" Inuyasha yelled.
"What's wrong?" Sango asked suspiciously.
"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha muttered through gritted teeth. "That bastard kidnapped Naomi!"
"But nanio?" Sango asked. "Does he have a grudge against Naomi? He's only met her, right?"
Inuyasha widened his eyes. "No, he's met her a while back, but has no real grudge against her. Not like he does...." Inuyasha's eyes reveiled anger and fear at the same time. "Me."
Sango gasped. "Do you think he kidnapped her, just so you could follow the bait?"
Inuyasha shook his head. "I don't know." he cracked his knuckles. "But that bastard's going to pay!"
"Inuyasha, do you think Sesshomaru might use you to..hurt..Naomi-chan? Or do you think he might hurt her himself?"
A chill went down Inuyasha's spine. "He's done it once before, he can do it again." his eyes flashed. "We have to go look for her - now!" he said as he ran back to where the campsite was with Sango following.
"Hey houshi!" Inuyasha yelled as he ran forward and leapt feet first onto Miroku's stomach. Miroku's eyes bulged out (A/N: Like not seriousness.) as he let out a slight giggle and rolled over. Inuyasha hit him on the head. "Wake up, dammit."
"Houshi-sama." Sango said, nudging him. "Wake up, it's urgent." Sango stopped and gasped as she felt a slight squeeze on her butt. She closed her eyes and balled her hand, shaking in anger and hit Miroku on the head repeadiant times.
Miroku snapped up like a sling shot and started rubbing his many large bumps on his head.
"Can you be serious for just a minute houshi-sama." Sango said angrily. "This isn't a time to be joking around!"
Miroku grinned. "What do you mean?"
"Naomi's been kidnapped." Inuyasha said simply.
The silly grin on Miroku's face was wiped off. "Nani? What are you talking about?"
Inuyasha bent forward and looked Miroku in the eye. He held out his hands.
"This." he said, holding out his right hand, shaking it around. "Is Naomi. And this." he said, holding out his left hand and slamming it on the ground many times. "Is Sesshomaru." he moved his left hand and grabbed the right hand. "And that's the senario."
Miroku made a facefault. "Arrigatou Inuyasha for that wonderful play."
Sango sighed. "You two are both being childish. We have to find Naomi-chan as soon as possible. Who knows what Sesshomaru might do to her." a worried look spread across her face.
Inuyasha had the same look on his face. Yeah, who knows what he might do.
Miroku got up and picked up his staff. "Then we had better get going now. We don't have a minute to waste." he turned to Inuyasha. "Where is the scent coming from?"
Inuyasha closed his eyes and took a good sniff in the air. Then he used his head and gestured due north. Then the team of the taijiya, houshi, and hanyou set out to look for Naomi.

Naomi woke up once she felt a strong, cool breeze hit her face. Was it a windy day? She couldn't tell. She opened her eyes and looked down.
She widened her eyes as she saw herself about at least 100 feet up in the air. Naomi looked up and gasped once she saw who was carrying her.
"Sesshomaru?" she shrieked. "What the hell are you doing?"
Sesshomaru glanced at Naomi. "Oh, I see you are awake."
"What are you doing?" Naomi repeated. "Where are you taking me?!"
Sesshomaru kept looking ahead as they sailed through the air. "You'll find out soon enough."
"Let go of me you bastard." Naomi screamed as she slapped his hands away. She gasped as she started to fall down. She reached her hand out but grabbed nothing but air, and plundged down screaming.
It must have been a few seconds, or a few minutes, or a few hours. Naomi had lost track of time as she felt her body slam against a steep grassy hill (which softened her fall - but it still hurt - obviously) and started tumbling down, herself reluctant to do anything.
She closed her eyes as she felt blood trickle down her cheek, but she kept rolling and rolling. She felt her body roll off of the hill, and was thrown into a pit of thorns. She winced in pain, but was too weak to do anything at that point.
Inuyasha, come save me. She thought as she closed her eyes. My body, it's gone numb. I can't feel a thing.
And then she blacked out.

And for the summeries, you might want to check my profile. And I have some more good news! When I get back to Canada, I'm going to start a website, all about me, but I'm going to have a section of fanfictions, anime, Inuyasha. For the fanfiction section, I'm going to have my stories posted up there again, and then have pictures to go along with the stories!! Coolie huh? I think I can draw okay, but I'm not good at painting as the world knows. But I'm purdy good on hand.
Hmm....long author note, anyways tell me again if you'd perfer Naomi or Nyoumi. (which kinda sounds like a guys name)
