Answers I Will Get

A table slammed against the wall somewhere in the castle with such force that it echoed through out the corridors to the room in which Kagome slept. She woke up to the sound of shattering glass and whimpering cries of pain. Kagome sat up so fast that she fell back upon the bed in a dizzy spell. Once the dizziness passed she sat up a stared at the huge room she laid in.

It was beautiful though it gave off a sensation that sent shivers down her spine. The stone walls were glossy black with a deep, royal purple colored trim. In front of her in the right corner sat a beautifully carved dresser. A huge carved spider was placed in the center of the dresser and split down the middle when the double doors to it opened. Golden colored fangs that pointed in at each other were used as handles upon this lovely dresser.

To the left was the door that led into the room. Next to the bed, a little ways away to the right, sat a small table with a blood covered sword upon it. The sight made her cringe so she turned her attention to the glass doors behind it that led out to a balcony. Velvet, black curtains trimmed in red were tied off to the side so the outside could be seen. It still rained outside in the dark, moon lit night. With a sigh she let her self fall back onto the soft bed.

The black silk sheets felt nice against her skin as the larger white, furry blanket kept the cold at bay. Her head was upon a medium size, black pillow that was surprisingly soft. Kagome hadn't ever slept in an elegant bed such as this before and she liked it. Then she realized that she was still dirty and had no idea where she was at. Worry started to sink into her so she made attempts of getting up. The first time her sore legs collapsed and she feel onto the bed. She tried again and this time she was successful.

Kagome made her way to the door with a slight limp as pain coursed through her body. When she was in front of the door it opened and standing before her was Kagura. Her face went pale as she realized who her host was and started walking away from Kagura. Kagura closed the door and stepped closer to the miko. Kagome was on the side of the bed farthest away from the wind sorceress. Silence filled the room for what seemed like an eternity in till Kagura spoke.

"You are finally awake. Naraku demanded that when you awoke that you take a bath," she said in a bored tone. Brushing a stray hair from her face she continued. "He doesn't like to speak to people who reek as bad as you do."

"What is that suppose to mean?" Kagome snapped.

"It means that the dried blood and mud is making you smell bad. Are you really that stupid," she asked.

"No," responded Kagome.

"Good, now follow me to the bathhouse. You will also be supplied with new clothes."

Kagome wasn't sure if it was a good thing to follow, but she felt like she needed a bath. She followed Kagura to the bath wondering how anyone could find their way through all these corridors. When they got there Kagura slid the door open and Kagome gasped at the sight of it. The room was huge and it was also very beautiful for something belonging to Naraku. Steam that came from the indoor hot spring engulfed the room. The marble stone floor was black and foggy grey to match the natural stones in the hot spring. Kagura turned to leave, but before she left she told Kagome someone would bring her cloths later.

Kagome turned and looked back at the door to make sure it was closed before she stepped closer to the spring. She stripped off her clothes and took her time getting into the hot water. It felt wonderfully against her sore, battered legs. A sigh a relief escaped her mouth when she was fully in the water sitting against a large stone. There was a bucket of water filled with flower that smelled like vanilla mixed with lavender. She poured it on her head then dipped beneath the water. Returning to the surface for air she looked over at one of the seating benches and saw a navy blue kimono laying there. One of the servants must have come in, but no matter. Kagome leaned against one of the rocks and started to doze off. She let sleep claim her, dreaming of earlier events.

(-Naraku's whereabouts during the time when Kagome woke up. Also the reason why a table hit a wall. -)

Naraku sat against the wall staring emotionlessly at the bore demons leader. His name was Yoshi and he had requested a meeting with Naraku about land. With nothing to do in till the miko woke up he decided to listen to him. Yoshi eyed Naraku carefully not sure what to expect from him. Naraku was growing tired of this so he spoke first since the demon would not.

"Speak now or leave," Naraku growled at Yoshi.

Yoshi looked worried because of all the stories he had heard about the great Lord Naraku. He wasn't sure if he should believe the stories considering the fact that Naraku wasn't a full demon. Summoning all his courage he spoke.

"I have come to ask you to surrender your land to the bore demon tribe or else we take it by force," Yoshi demanded.

Naraku snickered at this statement. "You expect me to give into the demands of a lowly demon such as your self?"

This sent the bore demon's temper over the edge. "Lowly demon! I am no such thing and if you don't give us the land we desire you will pay with your life."

"My life? You couldn't even take the life of a defenseless rabbit let alone mine," Naraku said with amusement in his voice.

"WHAT! I could kill you in one bow you stupid half-breed!"

Naraku's last bit a patients died away at that comment. He glared at Yoshi who glared right back. With one swift movement Naraku slit Yoshi's arm sending a blast a miasma through it. He howled in pain knocking the table in front of him against the wall causing it to splinter. The tea cups that had been sitting on the table shattered on the stone floor while Yoshi whimpered in pain. Blood seeped through the hand that clenched his wound, running down his arm.

"You damn half-breed, what did you do to my arm?" Yoshi questioned. His arm was turning purple and it started to fester where the cut was at.

Naraku laughed, "You expect me to answer to you?"

Yoshi's eyes widened with horror as Naraku took his head off in one swipe. The blood covered head rolled to the side as the body fell to the ground. Crimson blood puddle around Yoshi's dead body as Naraku shook the little bit of blood off his fingers. It felt good to take his anger out on something or more like someone. An evil grin appeared on Naraku's face as he stared at the lifeless form. The door slid open and Kagura stepped in.

"The miko is now awake. At this moment she is taking a bath," Kagura said while she took in the scene before her.

"Go tell her that her time is up and you are to take her back to my room."

"Yes Lord Naraku," Kagura said as she stepped out of the room.

Naraku was pleased that the miko was finally awake because he had questions for her to answer. Naraku had stayed up all night last night thinking of the perfect plan for Kagome. Around midnight it finally hit him. He would play off her emotions; feed her flame of hate for Kikyo. The plan was to cause her to become tainted so that the jewel shards would also become tainted. Maybe he could even have her be the one to bring Inuyasha's and her friend's deaths. Watch the pain on their faces as she cuts into every last one of them. He would enjoy the devastation that is would also bring the miko when she fully realizes what she did. The best part of it all would be that she did all this willingly.

Kagome sat in Naraku's room dressed in a basic navy blue kimono with white flower petals across it. Kagura had come in to get her and said that Naraku wished to speak with her. She sat at the foot of the bed scared stiff. What was she to do; she was stuck in Naraku's castle. Kagome decided that it would be best to stay alert in till she could find away out of this place. The door slid open causing her to jump from her thought and back to reality. Naraku stood in front of her with an evil grin.

"I am glad you are a wake now," he said as he sat down at the head of the bed.

Kagome turned to keep him in sight. She questioned, "Oh, how so?"

He smirked, "I have questioned that I wish to be answered miko."

"My name is Kagome, Ka-go-me. Not miko, girl, wench or whatever you can think of."

Frustrated a little he said, "I will call you as I see fit miko. Now why were you alone in my forest?"

Kagome said nothing, she wanted out of this place. She wanted Inuyasha with her, she wanted to be held. She looked at the floor and said nothing.

Naraku could tell that she was not going to respond. He was at her side in a heart beat. Wrapping one strong arm around her waist he pulled her close to him. His hair fell in cascades over her shoulder as he rested his head in the nook of her neck.

"I have all the time in the world and I will get my answers no matter what," he whispered sending shivers down her spine.
