Wounded
The forest turned into a mesh of colors as SesshoMaru increased his speed. He knew something bad was going to happen and it did. The moment the demons left, he caught Naraku's foul scent. He had been following it for some time now. He didn't know what he wanted with Karappo but what ever that corrupted hanyou had in mind, he would personally stop. He could imagine a thousand different things he was doing to her right now and he didn't like any of them. As he ran, more thoughts of what was happening to her flooded his mind. The more he ran, the darker they got.
"SesshoMaru, save me! Hurry before it's too late."
"What is he doing to you?"
"Rapping me! Hurry! Ahh! Help!"
Upon hearing that, SesshoMaru increased his speed. All he could see was the area right in front of him, everything else was a giant blur. The only thing on his mind was finding and saving Karappo, even if he died trying to do so. Suddenly, and all too familiar scent hit his nose. Trying to stop, he planted his feet into the ground and skidded for about a mile. When the dust settled, Inuyasha and his misfit friends stood before him with shocked and astonished faces.
"Little brother, I have no time for your pointless banter."
"Where is Kagome?"
"She has been kidnapped by Naraku."
"And every one thought I was the irresponsible one."
"As I said before, hanyou, I have no time, I must save her before it's too late."
"Why? What's Naraku doing to her? Hmm?"
"I don't know, but if it's Naraku, it could be anything."
"We're going with you. Kagome needs her friends, not a pain in the ass…"
As Inuyasha continued to babble, SesshoMaru heard an ear piercing scream in his head.
"Help!"
SesshoMaru place his hand over his ear as his face contorted in pain. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the Taiyoukai. No one knew what was wrong but what ever it was, it hurt. After a moment, he removed his hand from his ear and looked at the group with a morbid face.
"I do not have the time Inuyasha. If I do not go to Karappo now, she will be dead or worse."
With that said, SesshoMaru continued to run. The run in with his brother was but a distant memory as he continued to track Naraku. Soon, all of the forest began to die. The trees, the grass, all life ceased to exist. He was getting close. Finally, he arrived at his barrier. He pulled out Tokijin and sliced his way in. upon entering, he was greeted by Kagura. The wind sorceress engaged him in battle. As he fought her, the only though on his mind was, "Karappo, I promise I will never let this happen again if you just stay alive."
The Inu gang and Koga stood in silence. What they had just seen was the weirdest thing ever. SesshoMaru was going to go and save some one with out anything in it for him. What was wrong with the world, no of them knew.
"I must go save Kagome!"
"No! I am Wolf Boy!"
"No! I am Mutt!"
"Will you both shut up!"
Inuyasha and Koga cowered as Sango began to yell at them.
"Neither of you can go and save Kagome."
"Why not my dear Sango?"
"Kagome has become some form of Shadow Demon, and Shadow Panther I think. Anyway, when any type of Shadow Demon is in mortal danger, they send a plea to some one the trust telepathically. That's why you can't save her. She didn't contact you, she doesn't trust you."
"Why doesn't she trust us Sango?"
"Well, I think it's because we are with Inuyasha."
"I am beginning to think that Inuyasha is the cause of all of this."
"I agree Miroku. What ever he did, it hurt Kagome pretty bad."
