Uchino Naraku stood there behind Kagome, his hand clamped over her shoulder like an iron manacle. A bit further behind him stood his sister, Uchino Kagura.

"W-what do you want Naraku?" Kagome said nervously.

"I'm going to pay you back for what you did to me you bitch!" Naraku snarled.

Uchino Naraku and Uchino Kagura were easily the two most dangerous people in Kagome's school. Well, had been was more like it since they had recently gotten expelled. Both of them had a bad history of violent behavior and mental illness. They were both feared by most of the students. Even some of the teachers feared them. Naraku and Kagura had been transferred to Kagome's school after they had beaten up one of their teachers. Both of them had even been to juvenile hall once.

"What do you mean payback? What did I do?"

Naraku spun Kagome around so she could face him. "You think I haven't forgotten what you did to me and my sister?!"

"I don't know what you mean!"

Naraku grabbed Kagome by the throat this time. "You turned me and my sister in you fucking bitch!!! You think I wouldn't forget it?!!"

Now that Kagome thought about it, she did recall alerting the school authorities about Naraku and Kagura. She remembered she had overheard them planning a school shooting. Naraku and Kagura had gotten caught before they could carry out what they were planning and as a result, had been expelled. Kagome understood what Naraku meant now.

Sango stepped forward to defend her friend. "Let him go Uchino! I'm warning you!"

"Who do you think you are Myojin?!" Kagura growled, stepping towards her. "This doesn't concern you so just butt out!"

Sango felt her hands curl into fists. "Let her go right now! Whatever you mean to do with her, I have no intention of letting you get away with it!"

Kagura adjusted her denim jacket and turned to her older brother. "You take her back to our house Naraku. I'll take care of this slime."

"No. I think I'll watch you take care of her first." Then he turned to Kagome. "Now for you, cunt."

Before Kagome even knew what was happening, Naraku seized her head with both hands, reared his own back, and brought his head crashing brutally into hers. Kagome shuddered and fell to the ground in a heap.

"Kagome no!!" Sango yelled. She ran towards her friend but Kagura seized her and flung her onto the ground.

"I told you to stay out of this, didn't I?" Kagura asked, her voice surprisingly calm.

But Sango was not going down without a fight. She sprang to her feet and launched a swift kick at Kagura. It caught her off guard and sent her sprawling on the ground. Kagura jumped to her feet, just as Sango kicked her again. This time she dodged. Before Sango could strike again, Kagura reached into her coat pocket and came out with a switchblade knife and flicked it open. That stopped Sango cold.

Kagura smiled lazily and waved the knife back and forth. "You want some of this? You want some you bitch?! If you keep coming your gonna get some!"

Sango was between a rock and a hard place. Either she could fight these two goons and die or just get seriously injured, or she could flee and let them get away with Kagome. Pick one or the other. Do you want door number one or door number two? What a-

Sango had apparently forgotten to watch herself as she considered her options Kagura jumped at her and with one swing of her arm, slashed Sango across the stomach. Sango gasped and crumpled to the ground, clutching at her stomach. The cut was quite deep, as her blouse was already soaked with blood.

Kagura closed the knife and placed it back in the pocket of her jacket. Then she turned to her brother. "C'mon Naraku! Let's blow this joint!"

Naraku, who was sitting on the seat of a black motorcycle, nodded. Kagome had been slung over his shoulder. Kagura got on the back and the duo sped off. Sango only caught a glimpse of them before she blacked out.

Sometime later, Sango came too. She slowly got to her feet, trying her best to deal with the pain. Everytime she tried to move, a paralyzing pain shot up through her midsection. Kagura had really gotten her good. Mercifully, the bleeding had stopped. Now that she looked at it, the cut wasn't as deep as she had first thought it to be, but it was nowhere near being shallow. She might need to get stitches if she was unlucky.

"Just my luck" Sango thought. "I take Kagome on a shopping trip and she gets kidnapped by Naraku. God knows what he's gonna do to her. I've got to tell Inuyasha."

Limping slightly, Sango started back to find her friends.

Masaki Inuyasha was busy reading a magazine when there was a knock at the door.

"Now who could that be? I swear if it's Kagome's god damn father I'm going to pulverize him! He's not going to get the better of me this time!"

But when he opened the door, he was greeted by a most horrific sight.

There was Sango, standing in the doorway. She looked like she was having trouble standing since she was tilted crookedly on one leg. Her arm had grabbed hold of the doorway for balance. Her other arm was covering her stomach which was drenched with blood.

"Inuyasha you have to get Miroku and come with me!"

"What is it?! What's wrong?!" Inuyasha asked.

"It's Kagome Inuyasha! Naraku and Kagura kidnapped her!"

Inuyasha was out the door before she could even tell him what had happened.

To be continued...

Kagome is in deep trouble with Naraku and Kagura on her case. Keep an eye out for the update!
