Art Or Maddness By: Labyrinthine Reflection Poison

Pairing(s): Naraku/Kagome and Miroku/Sango or Sesshomaru/Sango

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha though I wouldn't mind owning Naraku ;-)

Author's Note: I suspect this fanfic will be about 15 chapter's long and by then I want to get at least 100 reviews. Anyway I totally love all the good feedback I've been getting because I thought many people might not like it. Anyway I hope that I can finish this fic by the end of summer vacation (I still have school until the 22 of June) Enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 6: Rescuing

She ran her nimble fingers through her hair her chocolate brown eyes taking in her surroundings. The hustle and bustle of Tokyo, Japan made her feel a bit insignificant against the many citizens' that pushed passed her. The tall buildings of Tokyo loomed over her their many shades of gray contrasting greatly with the strangely dressed people that walked on the sidewalks.

She sighed as she felt a bit light headed from all the fumes and toxins that made their home in Tokyo she wondered why anyone would want to live here. Making her way slowly on the sidewalk she tried to find her cousins apartment hoping maybe that she was not lost in the concrete jungle of Tokyo.

A cold façade was currently marring her face as she looked at the small piece of paper that she had wrote Kagome's address on. Finally she saw a bland beige apartment complex if her memory served her right then it was her cousin's home.

Her dull brown eyes looked at the door in distaste as she knocked it hoping that at least someone may be home. The sounds of a lock unlocking met her ears as a young girl opened the door, her hair was up in a pony tail and she wore pink eye shadow. This clearly was not her cousin, Kagome. The young girl's eyes opened in surprised as a mixture of curiosity and shock swirled in her eyes.

"Kikyo…." She whispered.

(Scene Change)

Kagome tried to keep in stride with Sesshomaru as she bit the inside of her cheek her emotions were going haywire as she thought about Naraku. The hint of reminiscing of her dream plagued her mind as she tried to control the blush that spread upon her ivory cheeks. It was a dispiriting journey really since Sesshomaru barely talked making her fidget in the uncanny silence that settled between them.

Crude language was written on the peeling walls as she traveled through the winding catacombs of the mental asylum. A sense of claustrophobia had blanketed her perplexed mind as the bleak hallways made her shiver with dread all the while Sesshomaru held a stoic expression that never wavered.

"Scared?" Sesshomaru asked not really caring if she was indeed frightened by the maddening confines of the asylum. Kagome's bubblegum pink lips pursed together as she tossed her head, flickering her long hair angrily behind a shoulder as it didn't get the desired affect from the silver haired beauty. She knew as much since there was little light and she barely made it up to his shoulders, intimidation was something she lacked in her everyday life.

"Of course not." She said hoping that he didn't catch the slight hesitation in her voice. A slight tilt of his lips was the only indication that he was amused by the act of bravery she tried to pass off when she clearly was scared.

He said no more as his elfin like ears quivered as he heard the distinct voices of patients that were thrown in human-size cribs since they were classified as 'criminally insane' and were thought dangerous as they were purposely neglected so that they were punished for their crimes. Of course they were not sane enough to even understand that they were neglected.

Dim lighting filtered in through the one window that was barred with wrought iron. Finally, her eyes had adjusted to the faint light that was produced as her breath hitched at the scene she saw. There were many cells all of them that she could make out were littered with trash and their own feces. She held her nose as she walked along with Sesshomaru as even he could not stand the putrid smell that escaped many of the prisons that the patients were persecuted to.

Patients were strapped to their beds and struggled desperately against the yellowing straight jackets that bound them so. She felt her soul practically clench at the sight of the tortured patients that looked at her with dull eyes and mouth that were slack jawed producing a small shrill that made her ears hurt.

Sesshomaru had stopped his golden eyes a shade darker as he looked into a cell. Kagome walked right next to him still holding her wrinkled nose as she peered into the dull darkness that hide the confines of the gray prison from her view. Finally, Kagome could make out a distinct figure hunched over but other then that she could not see anymore features.

Sesshomaru's clawed hands found a light switched and flicked it on it took a moment for the lights to brighten the dank hallways that held mental prisoners. Once the lights had illuminated the cell a gasp tore from Kagome's throat her oceanic blue eyes flooding with emotions.

"Naraku…" She whispered but he did not hear her. His blood red eyes were cast down his wavy black hair casting a curtain around his face. She felt the aura of sadness overshadowing any other emotions as she held the bars of the cell tightly in her grasp.

Sesshomaru raised a delicate eyebrow as he watched the turmoil Kagome experienced once she saw the state Naraku was in. And once more he questioned the connections the girl had with the hanyou. Without a second thought Sesshomaru discreetly poured acid upon the lock the green poisonous acid melting away the wrought iron. He was amused when the girl took no noticed too intent on watching Naraku who was still sitting there immobilized.

When the lock was melted Sesshomaru opened the cell door Kagome who still held the bars in a death grip was pulled into the filthy room. Rats scattered away as they saw the newcomer while Kagome tried to freak out when she saw the furry creatures.

"Naraku…." She whispered once more concern welling up inside of her as she approached her still patient. Her trembling fingers pulled his cascading hair behind his pointed ears as she kneeled in front of him not caring that the dirt stained her pale knees. She didn't know what she was doing but it felt right as she brushed his face when she saw some stray tears that ran tiny rivers on his ivory cheeks.

She saw that his eyes were dull not even a glint of malice that was usually there. Finally she enveloped him in a hug her nose buried in his wavy black hair as she held him tightly against her own body. So much concern and fear for him made her tremble in his arms as he finally snapped out of his trance.

He didn't move as he held her quaking form a look of puzzlement marring his face as to why she was trembling. But he didn't care cause at the moment he was just content on holding her.

'It was lust…' He told himself as he a smirk played on his lips. He stiffens when he felt an unknown presence behind him amusement prominent in the stranger's aura. Naraku craned his neck still holding on the sniffling girl only to look into calculating golden eyes.

"Sesshomaru…" He growled.

"Long time no see…..old friend." Sesshomaru said a ghost of smile playing on his lips.
