Chapter 4- I Want My Soul
InuYasha slowly walked upon the door. But before he could open it, he heard an oh too familiar voice.
"I can't let you go in there." The voice said. InuYasha quickly spun around.
"Kikyo . . ."InuYasha said. "You are a part of this!"
"What? Did you think I was in love with you, InuYasha?" Kikyo laughed. InuYasha growled and he spun back around to the door.
"I said I can't let you go in there!" Kikyo shouted as she drew an arrow. She loaded her bow and aimed it toward InuYasha. He looked over his shoulder and scoffed at her and pulled open the door. Just as he did Kikyo let go of her bow string and the arrow flew toward InuYasha. He moved out of the way but the arrow still grazed his right arm. He let out a sharp cry of pain but it really didn't do any damage. He put his left hand over his wound and walk into the room. "Stop!" He heard Kikyo say but he was already in the room. He leaned onto the door and examined the room. There was nothing in it.
'Why didn't Kikyo want me to come in here.' He thought. 'Is it a trap?' He looked around the room again and noticed something on the floor. He slowly walked over to it. 'A trap door.' His hand trembled as he lowered it to open the hatch. Once he had it fully open he peer inside.
"Kagome!" He said into the dark place. Nothing. He walked down the small ladder. 'What is that smell?' He thought. He held his nose as he walked deeper into the room. He saw a small light coming from up ahead. As walked he felt something sticky under his feet. He peered at it through the darkness. He couldn't see it but he walked on anyway.
"Kagome . . ." he called again as he got closer to the light. Still nothing He walked deeper into the room; closer to the light. The smell was getting stronger. InuYasha could see now. It was Naraku. Naraku in his true form. He looked at his foot. 'What the hell.' He thought. The strange goo was sticking to his foot. It looked as if it was sucking him in. He shook his foot hard and the goo flew off. He could hear talking in the distance.
"You do know what to do, right?" He heard Naraku's voice ask.
"Of course." He heard a distant childlike voice say.
"Good, Kanna. Now go before That fool shows up." InuYasha growled in his throat.
"Yes, Master." Kanna said.
"Naraku!" Another voice said.
"Kikyo . . ."
"What is it?" Naraku asked. "Can't you see I'm busy?"
"InuYasha." She said
"I told you, you should've left him to me." Another female voice said. Kikyo scoffed at her.
"Kanna, go NOW!" Naraku said. The small demon slowly left the room with the glowing mirror in her hands, taking the small light with her. "Where's InuYasha?" Naraku asked. He didn't hear her say anything. "Bring him to me." Was the last thing InuYasha heard before running out of the room. He ran up the stairs and through the door. He had to get to Kagome before Kanna did. He ran sniffing the air looking for Kagome. The castle had so many rooms. He came to a turn. He heard voices behind him. There was a small staircase. InuYasha quickly dove down the stairs.
'Why is this place so damn dark.' He thought. He put his hand along the wall. There were many doors along the wall. There was a spill of light coming from under one door. He ran toward it. He pulled the door but it was sealed shut.
'Kagome!" He yelled. Nothing. InuYasha unsheathed the Tetsaiga. He brought the blade down hard on the door. Nothing happened. He brought it down again but this time the door collapsed under the blow. He looked around the room. Kanna was standing in front of an unconscious Kagome. Her mirror was pointed at her. The light was slowly moving toward the mirror. "Get away from her!" InuYasha yelled.
Kanna slowly turned her face to InuYasha. She said nothing and looked away. "I said get away."
"I . . . Inu . . .Yasha." Kagome stirred. She tried to lift her hand but was too weak. "Save me . . ." She said. Kagura and Kikyo came rushing down the steps.
"Good job, Kanna." Kagura said.
"I will soon have my soul back." Kikyo stated.
"You don't deserve it." InuYasha spat at her. Kagura pulled out her fan and waved it at InuYasha. Her dancing blades flew in InuYasha's direction. He dodged the attack and fled over to Kagome. Her picked her up.
"Hey." Kana said dryly.
"Stop! I want my soul back." Kikyo said.
"Kagome's soul, Kikyo. Not your's." InuYasha said
"It was once my soul." she said.
"Well, not anymore." InuYasha said trying to leave.
"I can't let you go. Naraku wants the jewel shards and the only way we can get them is with her. Or at least her soul." Kagura said.
"You can't have Kagome. I won't let you." InuYasha said as he held the girl. He pushed his was past Kanna, knocking the girl over. The mirror flew out of her small hands.
