I'm not supposed to be typing, Of course, being me, i can't stay away. My left arm is twitching, and i am finding it hard to type with swollen fingers, so if there are more spelling errors than normal, please forgive me. Thanks for sticking with me this long. I hope we can party some more.

Sirens wheeled by, tires skidding and blaring horns erupted into the night. Total chaos.

Laughing, Sango gave Miroku the thumb's up. The patrol had just been seen heading in the exact direction of the blaze that lit up the city's sky.

Motioning toward the tall walls of the castle, Kagome led the first team toward the gate before releasing them to go into the feild.

Only experts here. Only the willing to die.

Kagome met up with Sango and the others at the wall closest to the blaze.

Miroku and his team were already at work. Kouga was long gone.

After a few eternal moments, lights around the walls went out and the electricity in the fence died.

Sprinting silently into the darkness created by Miroku, they entered the castle.

Naraku stared at the wolf as he lay unconsious in a cage. He himself had let the barrier down. The wolf had been caught entering the switchboard room, knocked unconscious by himself.

Grinning maliciously, he turned to the little albino. "Find our houseguests and eliminate them, Kanna." He commanded, gaining no emotional reaction from the girl. She rose and left, leaving him alone.

Kagome stared at the girl before her. She held a victorian mirror in small, slender hands. She reminded kagome of a poodle.

"So, Naraku attacks me with a poodle? He underestimates me, i think." kagome said, grinning.

Kenshin attacked, but as soon as he drew near, he feinted. Racing for him, sanouske fell victim to the albino's spell as well.

Rolling her eyes, she stopped Inuyasha, who was about to race after them as well.

"Hold on. What is your name, witch?" Kagome asked the albino.

"Kanna." The girl said, her voice soft.

"Where is your master, Kanna?" Kagome asked softly.

"He is in his room." Kanna said, stepping forward. "You'll never reach him, though."

"Why's that Kanna?" She asked, stepping forward as well.

"He told me to kill you." the girl said, stepping forward again. Kagome felt something drawing the breath from her.

She opened her mouth allowing the bright blue light to escape her, but more and more came. She finally fired an arrow at the glass, breaking it when it tried to absorb the arrow.

Kanna disappeared, flashed into nonexistance like a light that had been switched off.

Kagome raced past the two that lay unconsious on the floor. She had a score to settle.

When she arrived at the room that housed the bastard she was after, she slowed. Something was off.

She stopped just inside of the door, seeing Kouga in a cage on the floor.

"Kouga!" She hissed, racing forward, trying to get to him through the bars. But she was thrown backward, into the wall. Knocked unconsious.

When she opened her eyes again, she was upside down.

"You know, it's kind of hard to keep a headache with me being all upside down. Plus, i can't scratch myself." She said, looking down into the cage where Kouga lay.

"Give me your life, and i'll let Kouga escape." Naraku's voice penetrated the room.

"You know what? How bout you give me your body, and i let you keep your balls when you die." She said, grinning at the blank space his voice came from.

"Fine. Kill him." The floor under Kouga began to light up, sending shock waves through the wolf. He screamed out in pain, his eyes opened to stare blankly in pain at her.

"Damnit! Stop! Okay!" She yelled, trying to get down to the wolf.

The lights stopped. The wolf blacked out again. "Get her down from there. Take her to my bedroom and chain her."

She felt invisible hands unbind her arms and legs. Then she felt a warm, sick smelling cloth forced over her mouth and nose. She held her breath.

"Breathe, or i'll kill him now." Naraku's voice commanded.

Tilting her head, she saw Inuyasha and Kenshin at the door, unable to get in. They pounded on the barrier. She would keep them safe. As they had her. She would repay their kindness. She breathed, slow and deep, as the world drained away through her fingers. She took another breath and felt them taping the rag over her mouth and nostrils. She tried to hold to the surface, but found herself floating beneath it as deep, evil laughter filled her mind.

Ooooh! Cliffie! Again! Sorry, got a crappy curfiew. I'll write more soon. I promise.
