At Naraku's Castle:
"What does a slave of yours do, anyways?" Saru asked.
Her hands were tied behind her back and her feet were tied together.
"You do whatever I say," Naraku stated, turing his head and looking at her.
"I know but what do slaves of yours do?" Saru asked.
"Your first assignment is to deceive Inuyasha and his gang of nitwits and get their Shikon Shards," Naraku informed.
"How so you know I will not betray you?" Saru asked.
"I just know," Naraku stated, getting on his knees and ramming his hand into her chest.
Saru screamed in pain as he took out her heart. He got up and put the heart into a jar. When she stopped screaming, the whole in her chest and side healed and she broke out of her ropes. Then she got up, almost like a zombie would, and stood at attention. Her face showed no emotion.
"Lord Naraku?" Saru asked in a flat tone.
"Speak," Naraku granted.
"I cannot deceive them if I cannot show emotion," Saru stated.
"Good point," Naraku agreed.
He walked over to the jar and plucked a small piece of her heart. Then he walked over to her and stuck his hand in her chest. She didn't do anything when he stuck it in, but when he took his hand out her eye twitched.
"Now you can act normal, but you cannot feel emotional or physical pain," Naraku informed her.
"Lord Naraku?" Saru asked in a normal tone.
"What now?" Naraku hissed.
"How will I go back to them? I cannot just walk up to them and then leave," Saru pointed out.
"They're coming for you. So I will just let them 'beat' me," Naraku responded.
Then they heard screaming...
"You perve! How many times do I need to tell you 'Stop touching my butt!'?" Sango yelled at Miroku. Then she lapped him across the face.
"Will you shut up! We're getting close to Naraku's castle!" Inuyasha screamed.
"Will he ever learn?" Shippou muttered to Kagome about Miroku.
"I don't think so," Kagome muttered back.
Naraku mumbled, "Idiots,"
As he did, Saru grabbed three pieces of strong cloth and handed them to Naraku. He tied one piece around her mouth, one around her eyes, and one around her hands, behind her back. Then he sensed them coming, he grabbed her and walked outside with her. She pretended to stuggle.
"Is this what you're looking for, Inuyasha?" Naraku asked throwing Saru down some stairs and onto the ground.
"Saru!" Kagome shouted heading towards her.
"Stop! It might be a trap!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Right," Kagome agreed stopping and taking out her bow and a arrow.
Naraku laughed and sneered, "You know me all to well, Inuyasha,"
Naraku shot out vines and attacked everyone. After ten minutes of battling the gang 'defeated' Naraku. When Naraku left Kagome ran to Saru and untied her. Saru coughed as she got up.
"Are you okay?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah," Saru stated.
"What did he do to you?" Inuyasha asked walking up to Saru.
"He choked me a few times, but I will be okay," Saru lied.
'I cannot believe these things are coming out of my mouth!' Saru thought.
"That's good. Now let's head back so you can change," Kagome suggested.
"Right...wait!" Saru stated remembering her mothers book.
She ran inside the castle and grabbed the book from inside a room. Saru flipped through the pages to make sure it was okay. As she did, she found a spell that was written in different ink. It read:
"The Spell of Evil-
When times get to good for
someone and you want to end
it, say the sweet magic words
'Saru Chi Ne'
They will end the great happiness
of the person the priestess is looking at"
'It is in Mothers handwriting! That is my first and middle name!' Saru thought.
"Saru!" Inuyasha yelled then whispered, "Where is that girl?"
"Coming!" Saru responded closing the book and walking to Inuyasha.
"What took you so long?" Inuyasha hissed.
"My book," Saru smiled.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes and they walked outside. Everyone walked to Saru's hut and Saru changed. As she did, Miroku and Inuyasha were searching in the forest for...well nothing.
"Inuyasha? Little brother?" a voice asked.
"Sesshoumaru, show yourself," Inuyasha barked.
"Fine," Sesshoumaru stated appearing right in front of Inuyasha.
"Where's Kazu?" Inuyasha hissed.
"Kazu? Oh, yes, littlest brother. I'll tell you only if you beat me," Sesshoumaru informed.
Miroku had a blank face and was completely confused, 'Littlest brother? There's another one?.. Oh, god,'
Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru battled for only a few minutes. Sesshoumaru knew he was beat.
"He's in a small village, a little north of here," Sesshoumaru stated as he ran off.
"Why did you want to know were Kazu was? And who is Kazu?" Miroku asked as Inuyasha and him were heading back.
"Kazu is Saru's older half-brother. Sesshoumaru's mother is his mother. He ran away when Saru was ten and he was fourteen," Inuyasha informed.
Miroku nodded. When they got to the village, Inuyasha saw Saru and ran to her.
"Saru!" Inuyasha yelled running to her.
"Hmm," came Saru's intelligent reponse.
"Kazu is in a village north of here," Inuyasha informed, when he got to her.
