Going in Circles
a/n: I just want to clarify that I've been looking through the story and I know that not everything is as clear as it should be. Instead of editing the entire story because I'm to lazy I'll just go from here. I also want to remind people that for some reason Naraku had erased Kagome's memories of her parents dying. About how much time went by? I have no idea. Some writer I am right? I'd say about three years. If it doesn't make sense then oh well.
Chapter Nine
"No," she said very faintly. It was the first that she had spoken in almost three years.
"I didn't kill them," she said in the same way. "How could I, when you yourself just said that you killed them only a moment ago?" she said in a monotone voice.
"Didn't you hear me? I said that you killed them. I was only the insurance that they would die." He paused. "I really hope that you can believe me my dear, if you don't, then things may just become worst for you."
Kagome didn't say a word. She knew that Naraku had actually killed her parents. He probably made it so that someone would crash into her. He hired those people, and he probably intended for one of them to die. She didn't need to tell Naraku that.
Kagome stared at the carpet. She closed her eyes. She was still exhausted from the previous event. She thought she was about to fall asleep when Naraku lifted her body, and he put a metal collar around her neck that was linked to the chain. She knew that it was electrified.
"Get up and move before I have to make you." he whispered into her ear.
She struggled to get up, failing twice to do so. After a painful electric shock to her entire body, she got up and let Naraku lead her back to her room.
The walk seemed to take forever. They reached the white hall that led to the corridors. She was watching the numbers go by, 1, 2, 3, and so on. She knew that her room number was in the 90's. The walk would keep on going, and yet she was somehow relieved. She didn't want to spend a week back in her room all alone, especially without Sango. Thinking of Sango brought tears to her eyes. She didn't let them fall. She hoped that the real Sango would come back to the real world one day, and not just be part of her body's sub-consciousness.
Kagome looked at the room numbers and noticed that they were close to her room. Naraku stopped at her door but didn't open it. He looked at Kagome with his usual no emotion. But a sparkle of excitement flew through his eyes for just a second. Kagome grew worried; he didn't have that look very often, or even not at all.
"I don't think I'll be having you return to your old room Kagome. After all, it's a double room. And there's only one person living in it. Now it wouldn't be fair to all the other guests if they all had to share a room and you were the only one with a room to yourself. I think I'll pair you up with a special person." He smiled his famous evil grin.
She wanted to ask just where she was going, but was afraid to do so. And so Naraku led Kagome on to her knew corridor. She was almost sick to her stomach. She was afraid, and she didn't exactly know why. She thought she should be happy for not being alone anymore. Or maybe she really didn't want to have anybody to live with if it wasn't Sango.
When they finally came to a stop, Kagome looked at her room number, 2826. She didn't know that there were that many rooms. And this was only the first floor of the living quarters. The door was slightly different from the rest. First of all, there was no window. The room door also seemed to be made up of heavier material than all the rest.
Naraku paused as his hand reached the copper-plated doorknob. He smirked as he took a glance at Kagome's lost expression. Naraku turned the knob extremely slowly, knowing that it was causing her stomach to churn. With Kagome's nervousness boiling up inside her, she started to have a sickening green color to her face.
Naraku put a fake expression of concern on his face.
"Are you alright, my dear Kagome?" Kagome tried to glare at him, but her nausea got the best of her and she ended up vomiting on her master's shoes.
"You filthy animal. You disgust me." and with that said. He slapped her hard on her cheek. She immediately put her hands to her cheek to try and stop the burning.
Naraku said something but she couldn't quite comprehend it. She was starting to get dizzy and her eyes were doubling on her. She soon fell to her knees.
"Ah, bowing before your master. I'm pleased with this…" Kagome couldn't make out what the rest of his sentence was. Kagome broke out into coughing fits. She recognized the burning sensation in her chest all to well. It was another one of the long-term effects of the injections she had received awhile ago.
"Kagome?" came the monotone voice of Naraku.
Naraku tried to shock her but all she felt was a tingling as her world faded into the black nothingness. The last thought of hers was 'I didn't even get to see who my new roommate was.'

Kagome awoke with the familiar sense of déjà vu. She tried to open her eyes, but her eyelashes were incrusted with eye gunk. "Yuck." She said aloud forgetting that she was most-likely in her new cage of a room.
"So it speaks," came the rough manly voice from which did not seem faraway. Kagome rubbed her eyes and then opened them to find that she was staring at tall man who was shackled to the wall. 'Shackled to the wall? Is he dangerous or something?' Kagome felt fear seeping into her body.
The man was looking at the ground and his long black hair was covering his face so you couldn't see it. Kagome rubbed her eyes to get a better look at him. She knew that she had seen him somewhere before, but her newly awoken mind couldn't register were she had seen him before.
Kagome realized that she had been staring at him for a long time and she hadn't said anything. She didn't know what to say, she didn't know if she could say anything.
Finally, Kagome got up from her spot on the bed and sucked up all the courage she could find and made her way over to the mysterious person. Before she even got halfway across the tiny room, he looked up at her with the most stunning deep purple eyes.
Kagome's eyes widened. She knew where she had seen him before. He was that beast who she had always admired as she saw him walking down the halls late at night.
"IT'S YOU!"

FINALLY getting into more interesting romantic parts of the story.
