Thanx tohru-honda14 for reviewing!

Well here is the second chapter I hope you like it!


(what happened last time)

He growled. "Servants!" That's all he needed to say as they dragged her away. All the servents came to help since she was using her powers on them trying to get them all off, but they were too strong. Once she got one to let go another would replace it. She didn't give up though.

Then, when they were just about down the hall, that lead to the castle rooms all the servants were blown against the wall. Kagome closed her eyes. Then opened them to find she was hovering above the ground and a man and a woman were approaching her.

"Kagura, take her back to the castle." The man said with a smirk on his face.

(Now on with story!)


Kagome woke to find her wrists chained to a wall. It was cold. Especially since she was sitting on a cement floor. There was little light that came from a hole near the ceiling. 'I must be in a cell or something.' She thought as she examined it further. Suddenly a door opened on the opposite wall. The woman, Kagome remembered, as Kagura walked through.

"Ah, I see you are awake. How pleasant. Naraku should be returning soon I suppose." She said smirking leaning against a wall.

"Who is Naraku?" Kagome asked trying not to show she was scared.

Kagura smiled. "Your enemy." she said simply.

Kagome narrowed her eyes. " Who are you to tell me who or who isn't my enemy!"

"Someone who killed your father is an ally then? Not much of a daughter."

Kagome's eyes widened. 'She couldn't serious' "You lie!" Kagome yelled.

"Do I?" Kagura said then turned to leave.

"AAHH" Kagome screamed, frustrated, trying to get her wrists free from the chains. She gave up after about five minutes. Tears started to come from her eyes. She shook her head. "I have failed you father." She whispered. "If I was stronger I would never had been in this mess!" She continued like that for hours.


….With the royals….

Inutaisho growled as the fire king got away out the window after the other royals who had attack them. He went to chase after him.

"No" Inuyasha, the youngest of his sons. "Dad you are hurt. You could get yourself killed."

"Nonsense." He said making his way to the window. He made it three steps and collapsed on the ground. "Dad!" Inuyasha rushed over to his side.

"Do not worry Inuyasha." Kaede said walking to his side. "I will help him. Kikyou, go and make sure the others are okay." (In this fic Kikyou and Kaede are sisters but Kaede is older than Kikyou.) Kaede said to the other priestess.

Kikyou walked to the Wolf demon leader. He was on the ground and looked badly burned. She kneeled beside him. She placed her fingers to his neck and pressed slightly. After waiting a little she took them away. He was dead. She closed her eyes and said a small prayer.

She walked over to the other king that had fallen and kneeled beside him. He was still alive but she didn't think he would last long. He was gasping for breath and looked as if he was trying to talk.

"Sshh, don't talk" She said trying to calm him but he wasn't listening to her.

"Help..Kag..Kagome" He choked out. "She..has..jewel"

"Jewel?" Kikyou asked not understanding.

"Sh…Shi..Shikon." and his breathing stopped. His eyes closed half way. Kikyou closed them the rest. "Rest in peace milord" She said and gave a small prayer.

She then got up and went to the wolf demon son's. She sighed not wanting to tell them about their father. They were both sitting. One was bandaging up his leg.

"Kikyou." The one named Kouga said standing up.

"Kouga…I have some bad news.." She paused. "Your father is dead."

His eyes widened as he looked around for his father. His eyes landed on four servants who were carrying the wolf demon king. He stared as they carried his dead father away. A look of helplessness on his face as he fell to his knees. His brother shad stopped rapping his leg. His face buried in his hands.

A tear came from Kikyou's eye. "I am so very sorry for you loss." She said quietly. Then turned and walk away. She took a deep breath in as she saw Miroku, a monk, praying over two of the other monks bodies. The ones who had stood with the demons that had betrayed them. She walked over to him.

"Why do you pray for them?" She asked as he finished. He got up and looked into her eyes.

"I am not sure… they are my friends." He sighed looking down. "I grew up with them…I..I never knew." He shook his head. "That's not what matters now. Any survivers?" He asked.

Kikyou nodded. "Only two of the kings are dead. Inutaisho is being mended by Kaede. All of the princes are okay. But I don't know of the princess.."

"Kagome?" Miroku asked.

"Yes. Her father said to help her….And that she had a jewel..Shikon?"

Miroku's eyes widened. "The Shikon Jewel?" he gasped.

"Yeah do you know of it?"

"Yes." He said simply and went into deep thought. Kikyou waited for him to say something else but he had obviously forgotten about her. She sighed and went back to Kaede. Kaede got up once she saw Kikyou approaching. Sadness in her eyes.

"He has died." She said to Kikyou.

"So has the other kings and those two monks." Kikyou said as servants came to get Inutaisho. She shook her head. "Kaede what are we going to do now?" Kaede stayed silent then. "Come, lets go talk to the demon slayers." Kikyou nodded as the walked to the slayers.

The leader was kneeled over a woman. Two other slayers, a woman and a boy, were hugging. The woman trying to comfort the boy.

"Another death.." Kikyou said quietly. The leader looked up to them and rose.

"My wife." He said sadly. "I am afraid she has died." The boy cried slightly louder. The leader walked over to the two. "Sshh.. Kohaku it will be okay..She is in a better place now. I am afraid we do not have time to mourn though." He said placing his hand on the boy, Kohaku's back. The boy took in a deep breath and pulled away from the girl. "Good boy." his father said proudly. Though he could tell his son was still crying.

"We need to talk, all of us as a group." He announced to Kaede and Kikyou.

Kaede nodded. "Kikyou, help me gather everyone back to the table."

They proceeded to gather everyone until all ten of them were there sitting at the table. The leader demon slayers rose.

"I am sorry for all the deaths that have take place. But now is the time to take action." He said. "Does anyone have any information?" He asked.

Miroku was the first to speak up. "Lady Kikyou has told me that King Kiyoshi spoke of the Shikon Jewel. That Princess Kagome has it."

The demon slayer looked to Kikyou. "Does he speak the truth?"

"Yes, the king told me so just before he died." Kikyou said. She was still wondering why this jewel seemed so important.

"Where is the princess?" He asked. A servant came forward.

"Naraku has taken her." He informed. "Another servant informed us just before they died, that is." He added and backed away to stand where he was.

The slayer nodded. 'Well that isn't good. Perhaps he doesn't know she has the jewel…I doubt it.' He thought then raised his gaze to look at everyone occupying the table. He sighed.

"We have to rescue her then." He said.

"And how do you suppose we do that?" Inuyasha asked rudely. His brother sent him a glare. "What? We don't even know where the bastard is!" he said crossing his arms.

"Perhaps if we can catch up with the other demon royals, they will lead us to him." The leader said. "Either way, we have to try. If Naraku gets the jewel we will have a slim chance, if a chance at all, at defeating him."

"I agree." Sesshomaru said. "I will help in finding her." He said then turned to Inuyasha. After a few seconds Inuyasha nodded in agreement.

The leader nodded then turned to the wolf demons. "I will go." Said Kouga. "I will too" His brother said. "No" Kouga said. "You will go back to the tribe and tell them what happened." He said. His brother was about to protest but the glare Kouga gave him made him shut his mouth. He merely nodded.

"I will go also." Said Miroku

"Kikyou, I don't think its best that I go. In my old age I wouldn't be much of use. Are you willing to go without me?" Kaede asked.

Kikyou hesitated. Then nodded. "Of course." She said "I will assist if I can."

Kaede smiled. And turned back to the demon slayer. He sighed in deep thought. It was his turn. He needed to get back to the village to assist the other slayers. He knew they needed him but they need to get the jewel back. He sighed once again turning to his daughter.

"Sango, are you willing to assist them?" He asked.

Sango eyes widened. "Yes" she said quickly. "I can help too!" Kohaku exclaimed. His father shook his head.

"You are not trained enough." he said.

"But I can still help" He pleaded.

"Yes you can help. Help me in the village." He said. Kohaku frowned. The demon slayer turned away. "Well it's settled. You six will proceed to save the princess and the jewel."
