New Beginnings

Chapter 7

Back at Kouga's cave, Kagome was inside thinking. 'Why was I so angry when I saw Inuyasha with Sakura?' She then got angry. 'How dare she call me a wench! Who is she to judge me based on me and Kouga's relationship?' Kagome all of a sudden started crying. Kouga heard and came to her. "Kagome? Why are you crying, what's wrong?" He asked sitting down next to her. "Sakura...s-she said-" "Forget about what she said! You're going to let some Youkai tell you how our relationship should be?" Kouga asked. Kagome wiped away her tears. "I guess not. But I'm still a virgin-" Kouga interrupted her again. "And there's nothing wrong with that! I mean if you really want to..." Kouga said, his fingers caressing her face. "..then we will." He said placing his lips on hers. Kagome enjoyed it for a moment, then pulled away. "Kouga...I-I'm not ready." Kagome said looking sadly in his eyes. "That's ok. I'd wait eternity for you to be my mate." Kouga said, putting his arm around her. Kagome smiled and fell asleep in his arms. Kouga smirked to himself. 'I'll wait as long as it takes, as long as it will help you lead me to the Shikon no Tama.' (sp?)

A couple of miles off, Sakura was walking down the forest, smiling to herself. 'I wonder what Inuyasha's thinking right about now?' She thought to herself. Just then, the sun was covered by dark clouds, and everything seemed to get darker. Sakura wasn't worried until she saw purple fog beginning to form on the ground around her. "Naraku..." She breathed. As soon as those words left her lips, an evil laugh could be heard. "So you remember me then?" A deep male voice purred in the distance. "Show yourself you cowardly bastard!" Sakura yelled. Just then, Naraku appeared, a smirk playing across his lips. "Sakura. Its been a long time." He said. "Not long enough. I'll kill you for what you did to my family!" Sakura said, taking out her sword. Naraku laughed. "Me? What did I ever do?" He asked mockingly. "You ruined my life. Now prepare to die!" She yelled. Down near the beginning of the forest, Inuyasha was walking with Shippo when he stopped. His ears picked up a shrill battle cry coming from deep inside the forest. He sniffed the air and found the culprates. "Sakura." Inuyasha mumbled. "Inuyasha what's wrong?" Shippo asked. "Stay here Shippo, I'll be back." He said taking off into the forest.

Back at the battle sight, Sakura was fighting Naraku and loosing slowly. Everytime she charged at him, Naraku would slash her with his mighty tentacles, but she wasn't giving up. She charged again and managed to make a deep gash in Naraku's chest, breaking his armor. Naraku smirked. "You're going to wish you hadn't done that." Just then, one of his tentacles grabbed Sakura and held her. "You see my dear Sakura, I knew that you had escaped when I killed off your family and I wasn't about to let the runt of the litter get away." Naraku said, tightening his grip on her. Sakura struggled, and that's when Naraku released his miasma around her. She tried fighting it, but Sakura's lungs couldn't handle the toxic fog and she passed out. Just then, Inuyasha came into the clearing. "Naraku you bastard! What have you done with Sakura?" Inuyasha yelled, pulling out his tetsuiga. (sp?) Naraku just laughed. "She's right here Inuyasha. In fact, I was just teaching her how good it feels to be on the dark side." He said. He held out his hand and a small dark orb appeared. "What is that?" Inuyasha said. "This is a dark orb. With it, I can convert any demon I want to be evil, and under my control. But I didn't just pick Sakura for any reason." Naraku said, placing the orb in Sakura's forhead. (I know grossness. lol) "What?" Inuyasha asked. "You see Inuyasha, Sakura isn't just any Youkai. Her family decends from on of the most powerful dark demons in the Western Lands." Naraku explained. It was at this time that he released Sakura, and she fell to her feet. Her icy-blue eyes had now turned red, and they were hazed over as if she was in a trance. "Sakura!" Inuyasha called. Sakura only grinned evily, taking out her sword. Naraku laughed evily. "And now with her power used to my advantage, I will use her to destroy you, and get the remaining jewel shards!" Naraku said. Sakura then charged at Inuyasha and pinned him to the ground, her sword at his neck. "Tell me Inuyasha, how does it feel to bebetrayed my your loved one...AGAIN?" Naraku asked. 'How do I get myself into these messes?' Inuyasha thought as he searched his mind for a soulution. But he couldn't find not one, and Sakura's blade was starting to cut into his neck deeper, and deeper...
