Disclaimer: Inuyasha is not mine!
Sorry it took me awhile to update, been busy with school this week..wooo
hooo...anyways yeah..on with the story!
Chapter 8:
Kagome found herself in a dark, unreal quiet room. She wasn't bound or tied. She felt someone's eyes on her and it was the same freezing feeling she had, had when Jiyaki had paralyzed them all. Kagome tried to move, but it was useless. Then, she realized the demon sitting in the corner of the room. 'He's so freakin' creepy!' "Ano?"
"Hmmm???"
"Are you the one who took me? Aren't you Jiyaki?"
"How sweet you remembered my name." He slithered like a snake over to her side. She tried to move away, but once again her body wouldn't obey her commands.
"What is it that you want from me?"
"Naraku wants you to help us find the jewel shard. The final shard."
"There's only one left?!" Jiyaki nodded. "I will never help him!"
"We knew you'd resist." He said smoothly. "That's why this spell that I cast on your friends hasn't dissolved fully. If you refuse to help, they shall freeze to death from the inside and out."
"Nani?" Kagome was terrified. 'Inuyasha, Sango, and Kirara?' "How can you?"
"Tsk tsk...a demon of ice would never reveal his secrets." Kagome only rolled her eyes. "You are very pretty." Kagome's eyes opened wide with shock.
"Th-thank you, I guess." Then, it was as if a weight was lifted off of her body. She was able to move again.
"I can see why that hanyou is so very protective of you."
"Huh? Inuyasha? You've gotta be joking. He and I have no such relationship." 'He still loves her.' Kagome got a weepy look in her eyes. 'Why am I talking to him about this?!' "It has nothing to do with you." She said quietly.
"Sure." He leaned up against the wall and closed his eyes, smiling.
"What are you smiling about?"
"Oh it's so interesting how you humans are so complex; it amuses me."
"Oh really?"
"Now, will you or won't you join our forces?" He sighed. Kagome noticed how laid back he was, not at all what she had thought of him before. Jiyaki wasn't creepy much at all. "Will it be your friends' lives or will you work for us?" Kagome would much rather kill herself than to see Inuyasha and the others hurt.
"I...I.." 'What am I going to do?'
"You've got until your Prince in shining armor comes riding in on his white horse." Kagome giggled, which was a little unusual for the situation she was in. He looked up at her wide-eyed. "What're you laughing at girl?"
"Inuyasha? A Prince in shining armor? Hahahaha!!!" He too couldn't hold a straight face and cracked a small smile. No one had ever made him feel so carefree.
*Dammit! Where are you Kagome?* Inuyasha thought as he tried to catch her scent.
"He's so worried, more than usual. Maybe it's because this is Naraku we're dealing with."
"Uh-huh." Sango agreed as they rode on Kirara's back. Inuyasha smiled as he found a trail of scent marks. "Looks like he found something. Kirara follow him." The neko followed quickly in the hanyou's rapid movements, swerving in and out of the heavily forested woods.
*I've got you now, you bastard. Kagome will never be hurt by you! I will not allow it!* They came across a rundown palace in the middle of the woods. "Kagome! Kagome! Are you in here?!" He called as he searched the palace.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome called. She and Jiyaki were in the courtyard awaiting his arrival. Inuyasha heard her voice and ran straight to her. She tried to run to him, but Jiyaki had put the restrains on all of them. "Jiyaki, please just let me go." She pleaded, but he only looked straight ahead at the offending hanyou. Sango and Miroku along with Shippo and Kirara stood frozen on the sidelines. Inuyasha once again broke the bonds on himself.
"It won't work on me, youkai." He drew out the Tessaiga and held it out at Jiyaki. Something wasn't right, he was catching another scent from the castle. *Naraku?* He looked around.
"What are you looking at?" Jiyaki said as he threw daggers of ice at Inuyasha, who dodged them barely. Kagome gasped and prayed this would turn out okay like it normally did. 'Please Inuyasha, be careful.' He sighed and nodded his head, forgetting that only he could hear it. She gazed up at his head nod and smiled. How he missed that smile, even if it had only been a few hours last time he saw her. Jiyaki blinked his eyes and this time Inuyasha was slowly turning into ice. *What is happening? I'm so cold.* "You ice freak! What are you doing?" He looked over his shoulder and Sango and Miroku along with the neko and kitsune were changing to ice. "What will it be Kagome-sama? You help us and I will let your friends live." "No Kagome! Don't you dare say yes!!!" "Kagome-chan, don't give up! We'll get through this alive!" Their bodies were transforming into ice and their faces were turning pale and their lips blue. 'Inuyasha. My friends.' Naraku, who had been in hiding, crept out of the palace. "I knew I smelt your god awful baboon stench." "Inuyasha, long time it has been. So, girl what will it be? Work for me or let your friends die?" Jiyaki saw the look on her face and his heart of ice had melted. 'Why am I having this feeling?' The ice surrounding the group started to slow down. 'For a human girl? Why is she different?' The ice began to melt. "Jiyaki! What are you doing?!" Naraku bellowed. "I can't." "What do you mean you can't? You worthless insect. You were always a waste of my time." "Jiyaki?" Kagome looked into his eyes astonished. "I can't bare to look at your sad fa-" Naraku had stabbed his minion in the heart with one of his tentacles(I don't know what else to call his weird appendages). "Pathetic. I thought he was stronger than that." "You bastard!" Kagome knelt beside the fallen demon. "You are very beautiful Ka-go-me." He slumped onto the dirt. "I can't believe you! I will never forgive you!" Naraku grabbed the girl's arm, twisting it. She screamed in pain as she heard a crack. "What are you going to do? You're worthless without your group to protect you." "Sankon Tessou!" Inuyasha swung at the youkai, but Naraku dodged it and jumped, like the monkey he is, onto the roof. "You coward!" "We will meet again." "No shit." Naraku only smirked and headed into the trees. 'OW! I can't move it. He broke it. He's right I'm worthless, can't even protect myself.' Inuyasha turned back around and noticed Kagome holding her arm. "Don't touch it. You'll only make it worse." Tears were flowing down her cheeks, not only from the pain, but from how horribly treated Jiyaki was. "So unfair. He wasn't like the other minions. He had a heart." Inuyasha only sighed and motioned for the monk to help him bury and seal the ice youkai. After they were done, Inuyasha went to the task of helping Sango put a splint on Kagome's arm. She screamed in agony as Sango put it in place. She had grasped Inuyasha's hand tightly. "There done." "Gosh, that hurt." "Shall we set up camp here tonight?" "Sounds good to me." "Sure." "Inuyasha?" "Hai?" "Thank you for saving me again." She smiled lightly. "No problem, Kagome."
AN: I hope you guys liked it! God that was a hard chapter to write, maybe it's because I'm sick and it's my bedtime. I dunno...well goodnight all! Until next chappie!
