Disclaimer: Alright, I'll say it already. Just don't take my miniature Inuyasha plushie doll. (Security takes plushie doll) No! You can't do this to me!
Now I think that has been the dumbest disclaimer I have ever done...Lol. Oh yeah...back to the real subject here. My first fanfic. Well...I don't know what to say, except thanks to those of you who were kind to me and reviewed. Thank you. (Bows) Even though I didn't get as many reviews as I'd originally wanted.

Finding What Was Lost
By: Sanci J
Chapter 8: Kidnapped: Part 2
Last Chapter...
She started limping again, and looked ahead at the fraction of light that grew larger with every step she took. Not looking at the ground, she tripped over a rock and shrieked. Flailing her arms, she dropped her boomerang and tried to regain her balance. 'Oh no!' She leaned on her left leg for support, but it was still too sore. It couldn't handle the extra pressure. It gave way and she moaned in pain as she fell backwards and was shocked when she didn't hit the floor. Her head flung back at the impact, and she gasped.
Partially in pain, and partially in shock.
Right in front of her face was the demon.
End of Last Chapter
By the look on his face, Sango could tell he was quite annoyed with her. His jaw was set and she winced at his straining grip. "Let go of me!" Sango yelled, and shoved him. She glared at him when he barely moved and noticed he had cold, gray eyes. He held onto her arm harder. "Ow!"
"Stop moving, or I'll kill you!" he growled and carried her back into the darkness of the cave.
'I can't believe him! Why won't he let me go? Is he a cannibal or something?' She scowled and squirmed until he set her down on the mat she had been resting on. 'He didn't just drop me. Hmmm...' He kneeled down in front of her and grabbed her left leg. When he spotted blood, he glared at her. She was silently watching him redress her wound in surprise. The he stood up, replacing the blanket back over her. "I know you're a demon."
His gray eyes bored into hers. "I know you're a demon exterminator." He crossed his arms over his chest and stared at her.
"How would you know that?" She knew it. This was it. He was either going to eat her or kill her.
"I'm not going to kill you...yet. Otherwise I would have done so already."
"You didn't answer my question." Sango sat up carefully. "How would you know if I am a demon exterminator or not? And why did you save me?"
"I just know." He said, ignoring her second question. "Don't move." He ordered and disappeared to the opening of the cave without so much as a glance at her.
She fumed. He expected her not to try and escape? She was a prisoner; of course she would try to escape. She didn't want to be here. It was already daybreak and Kaede was waiting for her return. They didn't need to worry about finding her...just Shippou. She could get herself out of here safely. She was also angered because he failed to answer her question. 'That idiot...I have a right to get an answer.' Sango winced when she felt something digging into her side that she was leaning against. It was in her outfit, so she grabbed it and broke into a smile, seeing Kagome's phone in her hand. "I forgot I had this!" 'Now all I have to do is call Kagome's house. She told me how to do it...and then her and Inuyasha can come get me.'
"Had what, wench?"
Sango's head flew up and saw the demon holding her boomerang. She quickly hid the phone in her dirtied kimono. "Nothing." She said, and glared at him.
His eyes narrowed, clearly meaning he hadn't missed the gesture.
'I still want some answers.' She thought angrily. 'I'll get them and then get out of here as soon as possible.' She would have to cool down her anger and try to act nice so he would comply. "So...what's your name?" Sango asked.
He eyed her, his already cold eyes hardened. This guy meant danger. "Why would you want to know?"
Sango tried to think of an answer to that. She didn't really want to know what his name was. But she had to know how dangerous this demon was. As in, what demon he was. She still couldn't tell. "Because. You were the one who saved me. I really owe you."
He sat down at the other end of the small cave and glared at the wall. "You don't owe me a thing wench."
"But-"
"Shut up."
Sango's mouth tightened. How dare he tell her to shut up! She never took orders like that from anybody! "Don't tell me to shut up...jerk." She eyed him closely. "Your probably perverted too, aren't you?"
His stark gaze landed menacingly on her and she mentally gulped. "You think I am perverted?" He looked amused and began to crawl towards her.
Sango's heartbeat clattered in her chest and she didn't answer. 'What's he doing? Is he really a perverted sicko? Or is he just trying to scare me?' She wondered what he was going to do.
Kiss her?
Grope her?
Rape....her? She gulped.
He smirked and kept crawling...slowly. Ever so slowly until he was directly in front of her face. Then he simply sat down. "My name is Picura."
What? He sat down? Sango couldn't believe he was messing with her mind like so. Wait-he did answer her question. He told her his name. Picura. "My-my name is Sango." She said, her voice quivering.
"What happened to your leg?"
She licked her dry lips and looked up and was startled by his eyes. They shined brilliantly although they were gray, and she felt captivated by them until she blinked. "What did you say?"
"Your leg." He tried not to smirk at her. Yes...it was happening to her. Just like the others. But it took her a while...longer than everyone else did.
"Well, it happened during the storm. I was searching for a friend of mine, Shippou. He's a young fox-demon...do you know if he came through here?"
"No. It's a good thing too."
"Why?" Sango hoped it wasn't the answer she was thinking.
"I would have killed him on sight." Picura stared at Sango, waiting for a reaction.
"It's a good thing you didn't meet him, otherwise I would have killed you." She replied, her brown eyes narrowed.
.
"Let the whelp go. He is worthless to us now."
The servants threw Shippou against the wall and he cried out in pain. Ever since he had been kidnapped, these men beat him periodically. Now he was bruised and battered, lying on the floor. His face was wet from tears, and his forehead was bleeding from when they threw rocks at him. 'K-Kagome!' "Kagome! Help me!" Shippou cried out as tears fell down his bruised cheeks. He clenched his fists.
"Kagome...Inuyasha...Sango...Miroku...they forgot about me. They can't...I'm all alone." He said in shock. 'They-they hate me now...' He stared ahead at the wall and cried because he had nothing else to do. This was his fault...and he deserved this pain.
"No! We will not discard of him yet. His friends will come searching for him. They will fall right into my trap. Including Kagome." A dark figure said and cackled evilly and Shippou gasped.
"No! Not Kagome, no!" Shippou yelled weakly.
"Silence! They will fall into my trap...slowly. And they will have plenty of jewel shards with them." The voice said. "Tell him they are already falling for my tricks. It will only be a matter of time until-"
"No!" Shippou cried out, baring his fangs. He couldn't move. Had he been paralyzed? No...he was in pain...so much pain.
"Naraku will be pleased, Master."
Shippou yelled angrily.
"Silence him." The man ordered, and his guard walked over to the little boy and bashed him in the head. Hard. Shippou screamed and cried as blood gushed out of the side of his head and passed out on the hard floor.
.
Miroku had continued walking until he could tell someone was close by. He stopped. Was it one of his friends? "Who's there?"
"It's me, Miroku." A silky smooth voice called out to him.
He turned around. "Lady Kimisa!" He stared at her beautiful form before him. Today she wore brown pants and a white shirt. Her blonde hair whipped around her face, glowing in the cloudy day.
She lifted a curious eyebrow. "You look surprised to see me. Did you forget that I told you I would see you today?"
"Its just daybreak. I didn't expect to see you until later on in the day." He was surprised to see her, but he was glad she had sought him out. He grinned. "You are looking quite beautiful today, Lady Kimisa."
She smiled and reached for his open hand. "Your always so nice, my houshi. Thank you." She said sweetly. 'Good....everything's going just as planned.'
He saw her outstretched hand and had a strong urge to take it and forget about the search. He took her hand and instantly fell under her warming spell. They walked together, Miroku leading the way back to Kaede's. "How did you find me, Lady Kimisa?"
"Well Miroku...I kind of followed you." She admitted.
"I figured as much. I thought I had heard things for most of my walk. I am glad you found me." He stared at her. She smiled brightly at his words. He blinked and looked away. "You can help me find my friends Sango and Shippou."
He didn't see her smile fade. 'This isn't working as I'd hoped. He just broke my spell...I'll just have to put him under a bigger one.' She turned to him and stared into his eyes. "Come with me..." she whispered enticingly and touched his cheek. "Your friends are safe...follow me...and stay by my side."
Miroku stared helplessly into her mesmerizing pools of dark violet and black specs. He couldn't look away even if he wanted to. He forgot all about his friends and his past. All he could focus on was Kimisa. Beautiful Kimisa...
Suddenly she tore her gaze away from him and he blinked. "Let us go to the next village for supper. Then we will go wherever you want to go, my darling Kimisa." He pt his arm around her waist and they made their way to the village away from Kaede's.
.
Sango was now lying down on her blankets, feigning sleep. After what she had said earlier, she could have sworn he was going to do something to her, but he didn't. Then she had lied, saying she was tired. He also laid down and she waited for him to fall asleep. Then she could call Kagome's house for help, if they were still there... She turned partially around and saw that he was sleeping. Perfect timing. She smiled to herself and pulled out the phone, turning away from him. She turned it on and put her head and the phone under the blanket, hoping Picura wouldn't wake up.
.
Inuyasha was half asleep next to the window when Kagome's phone rang. He waited for her other to pick it up, but it kept ringing, so he got up and answered it. "Hello?"
"Inuyasha?" It was Sango.
"Sango? Why are you calling?" Inuyasha asked, puzzled.
"Where's Kagome? Did you tell her about Shippou?" she whispered frantically.
Inuyasha could tell something was wrong. "She's still sleeping. What's wrong?" A loud noise went through the phone and he couldn't hear Sango. "Sango? Are you still there?"
"Yes...the phone-something's wrong with it...Inuyasha, you guys have to come back now. Shippou is still missing...and I've been kidnapped by a demon."
"What?" Inuyasha asked. Sango was kidnapped? By a demon? "You're kidnapped? Where is Miroku? Wasn't he with you?" he growled.
"No...and I can't get away. The storm injured me...Inuyasha, you and Kagome have to be careful...yesterday I sensed evil auras during the storm. Something bad is coming...I know it." She whispered.
"What?" Inuyasha was still stunned that Sango was kidnapped, let alone that Shippou was still missing, and that evil was approaching.
"I can't talk anymore...just make sure you get back and find Shippou...I think he's in danger."
"Fine." Inuyasha knew Kagome's heart would break if he told her all that had occurred. There was only one answer. She had to stay. He looked at the jewel around her pale neck. 'I'll have to take it so she won't try to get back. Then, when everything is back to normal...I'll come and get her.' He sighed, hoping that would be soon.
"Are you their Inuyasha?" Sango asked, speaking as soft as possible.
"Yeah."
"Are you back to your normal state yet?"
"Yes, now stop asking stupid questions!" he said and flexed his claws.
"Inuy-"crackle. "The phone-low battery-"crackle. "Hurry-"
"Sango?" he panicked.
The line went dead.
He dropped the phone in the receiver. 'I have to leave now.' He leaned over Kagome and breathed in her scent.
"Inuyasha." She whispered in her sleep. She found his hand and pulled him to her and he hugged her, burying his face into her neck before he grabbed the necklace. He glanced at her one more time before jumping out the window with the jewel in his right hand.
.
"What the hell are you doing wench?"
Sango gasped at the sound of Picura's voice. She started to cover the phone, but Picura's eyes knew she was hiding something from him. His hair was ruffled and his eyes had lost their sleepy look.
"Give it to me now." He ordered and held his hand out.
Her face tightened with anger. He was ordering her around...again. She wouldn't take it from him...he wouldn't have Kagome's phone. "No way."
His eyes turned cold and hard. As hard as a glacier on the Atlantic. "Then I'll just take it." He reached out and grabbed her wrist, the one she was holding the phone with.
Somehow she summoned the power to keep a good hold on the phone. 'I can't let him have it.' She kicked him with her good leg. He growled when she kicked him and he dug his nails into her arm. She cried out in pain and tried to shove him away, but with a useless leg, that was hard to do. He held her down easily with his torso. 'Time for manipulation...' he thought.
Now she was only inches from his face and she couldn't help but stare into his gray eyes. 'He's so dangerous...and handsome...' Her eyes widened. 'What am I thinking? He's trying to take away Kagome's phone which is my only way out of here!' Sango glared at him and he grinned. Grinned! It was actually nice looking, but she would never say that... "What are you smiling at idiot?" she fumed. "Get off me! What's your problem?"
He leaned over her shoulder and purposely put pressure on her sore leg. She screamed and her resolve weakened. In just a few seconds, he had pulled the phone away from her hand.
"You idiotic stupid pervert!" she yelled as she held her leg. "Give it back!"
Picura looked at the phone. He pushed a button and a bright light shone at him. He was temporarily blinded and dropped the phone. Sango scooted closer to get it, but she was too far away. He blinked back his vision and glared menacingly at her. "What the hell are you trying to do? What is that demon?" he exclaimed.
He thought it was a demon? Sango laughed at him and his eyes narrowed. He was not amused.
"Shut up." He threatened her.
"I'm sorry you feel that way, but its funny. That isn't a demon...it's a phone."
His face was emotionless. "I don't care what it is. Obviously it's a threat to me." Sango winced when his foot came down on it, breaking it to pieces. She stared at it, mouth wide open until she conjured up enough anger.
"You evil demon! You have no right to touch my things!"
Picura laughed evilly at the picture she made. "You are a pathetic human."
She just glared at him, hoping he might die from the icicles she was sending his way. What would Kagome say about the phone? Sango hoped she wouldn't be too upset. "Let me leave."
He turned his back on her.
"Ohh...so you care about my well being?" she asked.
"Be quiet, wench. I care enough to kill you." He growled. He waited for her to fall asleep, then he went to the front of the cave. 'I have to get rid of this wench as soon as that bloody leg heals.'
