Chapter Three – Growing Temptations

"Our guests are here," Naraku grinned and laughed as he sensed their presence ever so growing. "Kagura, go and give them a warm welcome. We don't want to disappoint our guest, now do we." Naraku gave a sinister smile.

"Yes, Naraku." Kagura replied hesitantly. She was sick of it. She didn't want to obey Naraku anymore. Of course, Naraku had already known this.

"Kagura! Go now!" Naraku clutched at a small red ball in his hands, squeezing it ever so tightly. Kagura fell to the floor, screaming in pain. "Kagura. Do not forget. I hold your heart in my hands."

Kagura got up panting. "Damn you! Naraku!"

I don't know what to do anymore. Inu-Yasha…why? Why did you leave me so confused? You're so stupid! Inu-Yasha, did you mean what you said? 'I can't see you die.' The 15 year old Kagome thought about what happened as she rode her bike back to the well. No. He probably meant that…that…he was thinking about Kikyo. Yeah, of course. Inu-Yasha likes Kikyo. But that means that he doesn't…like me. Who could blame him? Kikyo's perfect. I'm just some reincarnation. Tears were dropping from her face as she shook her head. No! Kikyo's dead. She shouldn't…he…Inu-Yasha shouldn't care! Kagome gasped.She stopped her bicycle. "No Kagome. Stop! You shouldn't be thinking that way." She wiped her tears dry from her face.

"Kagome. What's wrong?" Shippo looked at her with concern.

Kagome looked back, trying to hide her sorrow. She smiled sweetly and said, "Don't worry, Shippo. I'm fine."

"Okay. Um…Kagome, where are we going?"

"Oh…um…well, Inu-Yasha says that we should go. That's all."

"Kagome, what if they need our help?"

Kagome thought. That didn't pass her mind. Shippo's right. What if Inu-Yasha does need our help? Kagome saw images flashing through her mind. Images of Inu-Yasha getting killed. She quickly stopped herself. "Don't be silly Shippo. Inu-Yasha and the others will be fine without…"

Kagome was distracted as she saw Kikyo's Shinidama-chuu, Soul Stealers heading toward Naraku's fortress.

"What is it Kagome?"

"Shippo, let's go back. I think Inu-Yasha needs our help."

A/N: sorry, but we both just had a big mug of sugar water.
