Inuyasha groaned, and tried to lift himself out of the rubble. He flinched and fell back down. His blood was all over, and his body was shattered. He lay there bleeding. He opened his eyes slightly, seeing into the blue sky. "Ka-Ka-Kagome....." He lifted his arm up, as if reaching for something, but it quickly fell back down. He couldn't even fight basic gravity.

He groaned, and his eyes closed as sirens screamed down the street...

**Kagome walked forward shakily, following Yentano. They had been walking through the dark portal for ten minutes already. Kagome looked to the side. The walls were swirling around with dark, purple energy. Yentano stopped suddenly. Kagome nearly bumped into him.

He thrust his arm out, and the other end of the portal blew open. He coolly walked out. Kagome followed.

Yentano walked forward sternly, the stuck his arm out to his side, and suddenly Kagome sank down into the floor, as some wispy tentacle like things grabbed her and pulled her down, holding her down. She screamed, but Yentano didn't even look.

"You will be restrained there for now... I still need you, so don't worry, you won't die." Kagome started to scream for Inuyasha. "INUYASHAAA INUYASHAAAA" Her screams were shrill and desperate, and unfortunately... unanswered.

Yentano sat in a large chair. The leather on his clothes creaked as he sat. He looked over at Kagome's pathetic body, and laughed. "Heh... You have absolutely no idea who you are dealing with, or what is going on... you hopeless twit."

Kagome screamed back. "NO! GIVE ME MY BABY BACK! GIVE HIM BACK!"

Yentano smirked. He loved hearing the pain in her voice. "Shush now... you are wasting your energy you know..." He sat in the chair and shouted out something. A servant quickly attended to him.

He spoke quietly to her. "Bring me the child, but don't let the human see him. Got it? If you mess this up I will kill you..." The servant shakily nodded, then ran off out of the room. Within several minutes she came out holding a bundle. She made sure she walked far away from Kagome. She stepped up on the black steps up to Yentano's throne. She bowed and gave him the bundle.

He nodded back and opened the bundle up, and there was the newborn child. He had black hair with fuzzy black ears. He was sleeping soundly.

"Hm... Hello dark prince. Do you know why you are a prince? Hmph... because you are my----"

**Inuyasha groaned as he opened his eyes. "Ugh..." His blurry vision started to sharpen, and he saw that he was strapped to an examination table, unable to move. He looked down... they had stripped him of all his clothes... He roared out in anger.

"LET...ME...GO!!!" Some men and white suits rushed over. They prepared a syringe and injected something into Inuyasha's upper arm. His vision became blurry once more, as he fell asleep.

He woke up once more, only this time he was in an absolutely white room. The only thing in the room was a camera in the upper right hand corner of the room. Inuyasha searched the wall for a door, but he could only find a crease that ran down the left side of the wall.

This time he was in clothes. They were thin and flimsy, and didn't cover him well, but at least he was covered. He looked at the teal blue clothing, but only found a small tag that read 'Syntac Medical Industries'. Only, Inuyasha couldn't read.

He banged on the walls so much, his knuckles had become bloody. He shook his hand and sat down. His whole body was sore. He looked at his body, and noticed lots of cuts, and even an odd bump on his neck. He laid back and said weakly. "Bastards..." He screamed out in pain. Not physical pain, but the pain of losing Kagome.

"K-Kagome... I need you... I—I cant live without you... I—"But he was interrupted as the crease on the wall opened up in what was actually an elevator. A woman doctor with a baracade of armed soldiers around her.

Inuyasha stood up. "Bastards! What did you do to me... Let me out of here!" The doctor kept a straight face, then held up a black tape recorder to her mouth. "Subject has shown literary capabilities." She then clicked it off and looked at him.

"What are you." Inuyasha looked at her. "What's it to you" She gave him a stern cold look. "Excuse me, but you aren't in a position to question me now are you?" Inuyasha looked at the guns... "THOSE ARE THE SAME THINGS THAT HIT ME BEFORE!"

The doctor angled her head, so her eyes could beam to him above her glasses. "Yes, we have followed your story for several weeks now... and I do have a report that there was gunfire. So Yes. We wont need to shoot you again if you stay calm got it?"

Inuyasha didn't answer but just glared back. Another human entered the room and whispered in her ear. She nodded as he spoke. As the man finished talking to her, she fixed her posture and spoke to Inuyasha. "You are needed" She then beamed an order over to the guards. They surrounded Inuyasha and held him down.

Inuyasha growled. "GET—OFF ME!" He fought with the little strength he had left, sending the guards flying across the room. The doctor screamed. "HELP! HELP! YENTANO!!!!" Not even a half minute later, Yentano entered the room.

Inuyasha sniffed the air *sniff* *sniff* he could smell Kagome's scent on him. "DAMN YOU! This was all you wasn't it! You even took Kagome! You BASTARD!" Yentano smirked.

"Hmph. You can yell and scream if you want to, but it does no good. Now to the point. I am willing to give you Kagome back if you promise to willingly give up your child." Inuyasha looked back at him.

"I knew it....Youre missing something aren't you? I know you could have killed me and Kagome already AND taken the child. So what is it you need huh?"

"Your smart...What I'm offering you is a chance to live a peaceful life with Kagome if you give him with your will."

Inuyasha glared back. "What is it that you are missing! Why do you want the child so bad... Explain it to me, or there won't be any deal to begin with!"

Yentano grumbled angrily. "Fine...The reason I need your child is because he is my incarnate. Only this is a little different. If he dies, so do I. And even though he is only ¼ demon, he can have just as much and more power as me."

Inuyasha looked at him wideyed. "So—he is you reincarnated, and basically he is your lifeline. Right? But only one question. How come you didn't just take him from us..."

Yentano smirked. "I didn't take him because I can't. I have gazed into the future, I know the track history is on, I know the outcome. And that outcome is that you have to give me the child. Or else, the tracks of history will—"

Inuyasha waited for Yentano to finish, but Yentano just stopped. "Will what?"

Yentano's eyes filled with rage at himself. "That is all you need to know. Now for my proposition... Keep in mind if you decline I will kill your mate. Leaving you with just a lonely life of nothing. You wouldn't want her poor soul to be destroyed just because of your selfishness now do you?"

Inuyasha growled. "Damn you---You bastard" Yentano laughed amusingly. "Well I have to have an angle don't I?"

A million things went through Inuyasha's head. 'Do I say yes' 'maybe he is bluffing' 'what about Kagome, I cant just give her up!' 'what would she think of me if I did this'

Yentano growled. "Times Up. Tell me your decision."

Inuyasha yelled back. "HEY! You didn't even tell me I had time!" Yentano rolled his eyes, then tightened his fist. "Well too bad for you"

Inuyasha looked down, his bangs covering his eyes. "I—"Yentano turned his head. "You what?"

Inuyasha stuttered. "I—I—I have decided that I want to challenge you!" As he said this, Inuyasha lifted his head out, and pointed his finger at Yentano. "A match... If I Win, I get the child and Kagome and you go away... If you win—"

Yentano interrupted him. "If I win, you have to surrender your child, and I get to kill you and Kagome to keep you out of the way forever."

Inuyasha stuttered surprised... Bartering other's lives wasn't something he wanted to do, but he had to. "Fine. I accept"

Yentano smirked. "Then I accept too. Now for the games to begin."
