Chapter: Feeling trapped Part I

X X

Kogi snapped his fingers and a young girl women around nineteen came in in front of Naraku. Her eyes were cold and full of hatred to Naraku. "You wished to see me Naraku... sama." The women hissed.

"Inuyasha will be ready for you. Hurry and go now." The women bowed and began leaving the room. "Make sure you do a great job there... Kikyo." Kikyo glared but nodded, rushing out of the room, not wanting to have to speak to Naraku again.

Inuyasha walked down the side walk leading away from his cozy home. Cop cars and sirens could be heard all the way up the street to the bus stop, where he was currently headed. It seemed that the police hadn't gotten enough information from Kagome, if they had gotten any to begin with. Now they were asking the not nearly rich or powerful poor part of Tokyo for leads.

If people would actually put two and two together, they would realize Kouga hadn't been around lately, and might start looking for him. But not everyone was as smart as Inuyasha hoped. But then again, he didn't have time to think about Kouga. He had to worry about getting Sesshoumaru to give him the documents he needed. 'He may hate me, but he is my half elder brother. If he likes it or not.' Inuyasha looked up to see an officer asking questions to a girl that went to his school. Like she would have any information.

Inuyasha sighed and stopped as he made it to the bus stop. First he would go to Sesshoumaru's and try to get the documents. Then if he succeeded, he would go over to Kagome and say good bye. He would make sure she didn't find out where he was going. If she did, she would want to follow him, and who knew if he would return from this confrontation.

He turned his head a little as he heard the screeching of the near by bus coming to a stop in front of him. The doors swept open, letting Inuyasha know he could board. Inuyasha climbed up the steps and smiled a little at the old driver. The driver returned the smile and waited for Inuyasha to seat himself at the back of the bus where no one sat. The only people on the bus were him, two old married couples, and the driver. Not very busy.

Just as the driver was about to close the door, a young womens cry to stop called out. Inuyasha turned his head and saw a black haired women starting to climb the steps. He gasped a little as he caught a glimpse of the women's face. She looked identical to Kagome, besides the fact of black coal eyes, more pale, older looking and straight hair. Anyone would think she was her twin.

The women smiled a little thanking the driver for stopping. She looked around the bus, and stopped at Inuyasha. She seemed a little surprised, but regained her composure and began making her way to the back of the bus where he sat. "Hello there." She said as she took a seat next to Inuyasha. Her voice was smooth and silky. She seemed the type to be an elegant women.

"Hello." Inuyasha replied. The women's face held warmth, but something in her eyes he couldn't quite read. She was obviously trying not to show him. She smiled and jerked when the bus started going.

"My names Kikyo, what's yours?" She introduced herself.

"Inuyasha. You have quite a pretty name." No he wasn't flirting, he actually did think she had a pretty name. He had heard his mother say it awhile back, but never really thought much of it.

"And yours is unique. I like that." Unlike many women, Kikyo was sitting completely straight with her hands in her lap. She acted like she had to do this to impress him or something. Or many impress someone who was watching.

"I haven't seen you around before, do you live here?" Kikyo looked around eighteen herself. Maybe she went to a private school because she defiantly didn't go to Kizuna. He would remember if she had.

"I'm only here for a short visit. I move a lot. It can be okay at times, but lonely on others." Kikyo shrugged a little. "But I do enjoy Tokyo. I was born here."

Inuyasha nodded. "I always wanted to travel. But somethings made that difficult. And I can't go now, defiantly." It had always been his dream to travel and become somebody. Somebody everyone would know at first glance. But now, thanks to Kouga and Naraku, Inuyasha might not even have a future left to think about.

"Oh, is that so? Well... I.." The bus stopped suddenly, causing Inuyasha to look up. It seemed he had arrived at his stop. He wanted to speak more with Kikyo, but had to get off now. "I'm sorry, but this is my stop."

Kikyo waved her hand. "It's okay. Maybe I'll see you again one day." Inuyasha stood and bowed quickly. "I hope so too." He waved a little and smiled at Kikyo who returned it. Inuyasha leaped off the bus and watched it go with the women inside. She seemed nice, with much to say. She probably had far wisdom also. But Inuyasha shook his head. He turned to the large mansion that his half brother owned. 'I have more important things to attend too.'

Inuyasha jumped over the gate and ran quickly up the steps to get to the door. Yes, once again his heart was beating in his chest like a mad man. It actually hurt to breath, not knowing if this would work or not. And he really didn't want to be turned down. What would he do if he was? He didn't want to think about it. Inuyasha brought his knuckles up to the door and rapped on it a few times. After awhile of more hard beats in his chest, he heard small footsteps approaching. Most likely Rin's he told himself. But as the door opened, he was greeted with a very small, almost green looking man. He had bright yellow eyes and a mouth that resembled a beak. "Uh.. Is Sesshoumaru home?" Inuyasha was almost thrown off guard by the sight of this man.

"No! Now get off my lord's property! He has no need from the 'help.'" The man yelled from below Inuyasha.

Inuyasha glared a little. Did this man think he was just going to leave, just like that? He must be crazy. "Do you know where he is?" He persisted.

"At a meeting! Now leave!" The man went to shut the door in Inuyasha's face, but Inuyasha caught the door with his hand and pushed it hard, causing the man to fly back.

'This isn't so bad. If Sesshoumaru isn't here, then he can't say no. And whoever this man is isn't so hard to get past. I could go in, take the document and leave. I will of course return it later. This is great!' Inuyasha grinned evilly at the squawking man. "What's your name?"

The man stopped his ranting to look up. "Jaken. Sesshoumaru's loyal servant." The man replied happily, putting a small arm over his chest. "The best he's ever had."

"And Sesshoumaru's not home?"

"I told you that already! No he is not!" Jaken began jumping up and down angrily. "Now, leave! Or I'll... oof!" Inuyasha pushed his way past Jaken and slammed the door, catching his foot in the process. "Ow! Ow! Ow!" Inuyasha snickered a little as Jaken tugged for his foot to come out. "Who do you think you are!"

"Just a guy looking for some answers. Where's Rin?" Inuyasha was sure the little girl would have came down by now to hug and ask him to play with her.

"At dance! Now what's your name?" Inuyasha chuckled. How could Sesshoumaru stand to be near a demon such as this one? He kind if seemed needy, not to mention extremely annoying. How did he put up with it.

"My names Inuyasha. Masaharu Inuyasha to be exact." Jaken's eyes widened. "You're Sesshoumaru sama's half ling brother? What do you think your doing in..." Inuyasha grabbed Jaken by the collar of his shirt to reach his eye level. "Where does Sesshoumaru keep his documents?"

"And why should I tell you!" Jaken crossed his arms stubbornly over his chest.

"Because I'm bigger and stronger then you." Inuyasha said in a innocent voice. He hoped he wouldn't have to beat this little guy up too much. Sure he was annoying, but that didn't mean he had to destroy his face even more. He couldn't get uglier, could he?

"Hah! You are so not stronger then me! I am stronger then you!" Inuyasha rolled his eyes and brought his fist back and punched the little green guy right in the nose. Inuyasha made sure to hold him away from himself so he wouldn't get blood on his shirt. Instead he would get the blood to drip onto the nice floors. "You were saying?"

Jaken held his nose and hissed curses under his breath. "In his office! It's down the halls! You bastard!" Inuyasha chuckled again at dropped the man. "See, that wasn't so hard was it?" Jaken didn't look up as Inuyasha left him to clean up the blood and himself on his own.

Inuyasha slid open the door that led to Sesshoumaru's office. It was pretty big. A nice black desk was in the middle of the room in front of a large window covered by black curtains. The floor was black marble and the walls were a deep crimson color. On his desk was a computer, phone, and a lap top and a black leather chair to sit in.

"Let's check the desk first, shall we?" Inuyasha walked over to the chair and got cozy in it. He would admit it, his brother did have some good taste. Inuyasha pulled out a drawer of the desk only to find papers for his company. The next two weren't anything important either. "Okay... waste of time." Inuyasha turned to the computer. "Maybe it's on his computer."

Inuyasha pushed the power button and waited for the computer to start up. He didn't need a password to access the Internet so he decided to go straight to the files. He came across none that looked important. His eyes scanned the hundreds of files looking for anything that jumped out at him. "Damn.. I'm not getting anywhere.." He muttered to himself. Suddenly, as he was scanning down the mass of files, one named 'Taisho problem' popped up. Inuyasha quirked an eye brow and decided to click it.

Articles he had never seem before popped up instantly. Yukuza, rich problem, white wine, were most of the words Inuyasha could only read. Most words were blurred out for some reason, and it was hard to read. Then the name 'Uichi' popped up. It was a link so Inuyasha decided to click it.

"Uichi Onigumo, former Yukuza leader was convicted of a suspected murder. Masaharu Inutaisho was found dead in his home on a cold autumn night. It was said that he and Onigumo had been best friends in high school and college, and company partners. Some say that Inutaisho was in some debt problems from what was rumored to say drugs, strippers and a gambling problem, none to be confirmed. Onigumo was said to be helping Inutaisho out in his problems, but also could be the lead man to kill Inutaisho." Inuyasha paused from reading the old article. His father had debt problems? Was that why his mother said they had lost everything? She had said Onigumo took them, but could the debt thing have been the problem too?

"Onigumo was always second best compared to Inutaisho. Maybe Onigumo wished to be top dog for once (no pun intended) and decided to take Inutaisho out of the picture. That was the lead in the case until for no apparent reason, the police decided to make Inutaisho's case into a suicide one. They said that Inutaisho had poisoned his white wine and sat in his white leather arm chair, awaiting death. Maybe he couldn't take all the strain. Or he didn't want to go through telling his wife and two kids what he had gotten himself into. Because there was no leads to say this really was a murder besides Onigumo, the police turned the case to suicide and dropped it. That was to be the end of the great dog demon." Inuyasha leaned back in his seat. Suicide? His mother had never said the case was dropped because of that. No leads, that was half true, but not the whole one. Why had his mother never told him? Is that why she didn't object too much? Because she knew he would find the information out on his own and she wouldn't have to tell him? Inuyasha wished he had been informed about this sooner instead of later.

Inuyasha clicked to another page and decided to read a recent article on Onigumo. "Onigumo seems to be in hiding. The police want to speak to him about his drug company that has been going around the world without anyone truly knowing. Any police that has gotten even close to finding Naraku has wound up dead, and now most are afraid to even go look for him now. What's more, Uichi Naraku, Onigumo's son, has been leading the police off in a wild goose chase. Naraku is doing a great job in killing and hiding it. No one can prove he is doing this, and so he goes off free. Not that anyone knows where to look for him to ask him any questions. Naraku is said to be even more dangerous then Onigumo himself. He has taken over the Yakuza, and has many gangs with the spider tattoo's on the backs. Naraku is practically undefeatable. Unable to be found. He is a terrible man and needs to be brought to justice. Along with his father Onigumo. No history is on Onigumo now, and any before was deleted from any mainframe. Naraku is suspected in deleting the information but cannot be proven. Police are still looking over the details."

Inuyasha leaned back again. It seemed not anyone knew where to find Naraku or his father. This wasn't helping him in the slightest. It helped him with information with his father, but how the hell was he to get any information where to find Naraku? This wasn't working. Maybe if he searched for Kouga that could help. No, he had no clue where Kouga was. It wasn't like he would going to show himself anywhere near here for awhile anyway. That is if he was even still alive. What was he to do?

"Maybe Kagome knows a little more about Naraku. Hopefully. But then she'll know where I'm going, oh well. I'll just make sure she doesn't follow." Inuyasha stood from his chair and began leaving the room, not caring to shut the computer down. Jaken would tell Sesshoumaru he had been here, and his scent was all over the place. Not like he was a secret. 'Please know more Kagome, I have to know more.'

Miroku sighed as glanced through some magazines. All they had were chick magazines, and he wasn't to interested. "Well," Miroku threw the magazine away. "If I ever need to know what color of lipstick goes with my shoes, I'll be safe." Miroku yawned. He glanced over at his sleeping beauty. No, she hadn't awoke yet, but any day soon she was supposed to be, and Miroku was making sure he was going to be there when she did.

Her face looked so much more peaceful then yesterday. He was happy she wasn't into too much pain. The medicine was helping her greatly. Miroku ran a hand through his hair. He was so tired right now, and wanted to sleep but he knew he couldn't. He wanted to make sure Sango knew she had someone to look forward to seeing. 'I have to be there for her. I have too.'

Just then, he heard soft moans coming from Sango's bed. He saw her head roll back and forth. He jumped up quickly and walked to her side and take her hand. "Sango?" Sango moaned again a little. "M..Miroku?" Miroku's heart skipped a beat as he watched Sango's eyes begin to flutter open. He was surprised when her Magenta hues settled on him. "Miroku..? It's.. been while huh?" She chuckled a little at his worried face.

"Sango... Your better. I thought.. I mean I heard.." Miroku could actually feel tears starting up in his eyes. Sango smiled a little and brought her hands up to stop them from flowing down his cheeks. "Hey wuss, what's the big tears about? I'm fine as you can see."

Miroku sighed. "You may have to learn how to walk again after what happened before.."

"Ah yes," She whispered. "The car accident. I learned how to walk from that accident, I can learn from this one. How is Kagome?"

Miroku took Sango's hand. "I thought she would be here by now. She was so sorry and worried before. She blames herself."

"Sounds like Kagome alright..." Sango paused. She took her hand back for a moment only to try to push herself up into a sitting position. She smiled at Miroku's worried face. "I'm fine. Now, tell me everything that's happened. Fill me in Miroku, then you can go to sleep."

"In your bed I hope?" It seemed Miroku was back to his perverted self.

"In my nightmares. You never change." Miroku took Sango's hand and began stroking it. "Neither do you. I love that about you." Sango smiled a little. "I love everything about you. Even your perverted side."

Miroku leaned down and captured Sango's lips with his. Sweet and tender, just like he thought it would be. Sango blushed a little, but was enjoying the kiss as much as Miroku. Well she had loved the man for years without him knowing. Now she could finally express it, willingly.

Miroku pulled away and smiled, pulling a seat over next to the bed. "Where should I begin..."

Inuyasha knocked on Kagome's door for the thirteenth time. Why wasn't she answering? Was she out? No, her scent could be smelt here. 'Then why wont she answer?' Inuyasha decided to try to see if the door was unlocked. It was as he pushed it open. All the lights were off and kind of spooky. Because of his demon nose and eyes he could see clearly through the dark. He could see the affect from the previous night's party was still littered on the ground. 'No one picked up the mess?' Inuyasha stopped and glanced around the empty hallway. "Kagome! Are you here?"

His ears picked up on movement coming from the living room. He quickly raced over when he saw a female figure sitting on the couch. "Kagome! There you are! I thought..."

"Hello Inuyasha. Sorry, but I'm not your lover Kagome." Inuyasha froze when the voice he heard come from the women's mouth didn't belong to Kagome. Who was talking to him then? The voice sounded so familiar, like he had heard it before today.

The women brought her hands up in front of her and clapped the lights on. He gasped when he saw the women he had met on the bus sitting in front of him. Kikyo's eyes were emotionless as was her face. "Ki...Kikyo?"

"It seems we met faster then we thought we would. I'm sorry it had to be on these circumstances." Kikyo looked over the shocked Inuyasha over. "I'll get straight to the point. Kagome isn't here. She was taken by a certain someone. I believe you've heard of him. Uichi Naraku?"

"Why... are you doing this?" Inuyasha asked through his confusedness. His eyes were sparkling with shock. How could this be happening to him?

"He wishes to meet you in a cabin on the other side of Tokyo. It's in Murasaki Park, and he is waiting there with your lover. He wishes you to bring the necklace you received yesterday." Kikyo stood from her seat and walked past the dazed Inuyasha. "If love is something you have gained, do not let me or Naraku let it slip away. Kagome is counting on you."

"You don't seem the type.. to be working for Naraku. You seem to have dreams and hopes for future that you wont be able to do if your working for him." Inuyasha whispered for her ears to hear.

Kikyo didn't reply as she walked out of the room and the house, leaving Inuyasha alone. He stared at the ground. All he could think about how he was going to make Naraku pay for what he's done. 'If I haven't had left her this morning.. maybe..' Inuyasha shook his head violently. 'I can't think of this now, I have to get the necklace and save Kagome. I have too.'

Inuyasha turned around quickly and raced out of the house. He had never felt so scared in his life. Not even when he didn't know what happened to Kagome last night. What would Naraku do to her? Was he already to late? There was only one emotion to describe how he felt right now. And that emotion was trapped. Inuyasha had never felt so trapped in his life.
